Furniture restorers: booking French polishing workshops

Teaching French polishing, waxing or gilding brings a second income to a restoration workshop, and fills quiet weeks. Put each workshop on your booking page with one place per bench: people book at any hour, the workshop closes when every bench is taken, and you prepare the right number of sample boards and materials.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own, and say whether materials are included.

Give each workshop as many places as you have benches and can supervise. Each online booking takes one place, and a full workshop leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the participant's calendar file. Ask for their experience and the piece they'd like to bring.

Each slot sits within one day, so a two-day course is two slots. Say in the description that participants book both days, or book the second day yourself from your bookings list after the first booking. First and last name are enough; if you enter the email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file.

Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so a monthly Saturday workshop can run as one slot a week over a set period, or as single dates. Keep weekdays for restoration work.

Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
