rebuilding & shop repairs

[AlliedPianoCraft]

I have always allowed only two days a week for tuning and three days in the shop. If I fell behind in tuning work (more that two weeks booked) I would add another day tuning and make up the shop work on Saturday (I never tune on Saturday-personal quirk).  I also never like working in the shop after tuning. There wasn't enough time that I was willing to spend after tuning all day to make the effort worth while.

When I had a full rebuilding business back in St. Louis, I would schedule at least 2 and sometimes 3 days a week just for shop work. I would guard those days, because I knew that if I would schedule tunings on those days, I would never get the work done. That doesn't mean I wouldn't do shop work after tuning all day, or schedule an occasional tuning on a  shop day. But that is how I operated most of the time.

List,
What amount of time do you spend on shop repairs and rebuilding in a given work week? Do you often work in the shop after a full day of tunings?

Thanks,
