Scheduling it Right

The art of banjo repair is a delicate and careful process. You just cant expect to Do this or that in one day. The entire process needs to be carefully laid out. Dont expect your banjo to be finished in one day. I learned the hard way. One of the biggest complications in the entire process is when you dont have a part. Like on a guitar or mandolin, if you dont have this or that, you cant play music. But with banjo, there's even more parts to worry about. I know you cant do this or that without another component. Let me lay it out for you.

No head:
cant install strings
cant install tailpiece
cant install bridge
cant install mute
cant install tone ring & tension hoop
can install tuners

No tuners:
cant install strings
cant install bridge
cant install mute
can install head
can install tone ring & tension hoop
can install tailpiece

No strings:
cant install bridge
cant install mute
can install tuners
can install head
can install tone ring & tension hoop
can install tailpiece

No Tailpiece:
cant install strings
cant install mute
cant install bridge
can install head
can install tone ring & tension hoop
can install tuners

No Bridge:
cant install strings
cant install mute
can install tailpiece
can install head
can install tone ring & tension hoop
can install tuners

No tone ring & tension hoop:
cant install head
cant install tailpiece
cant install strings
cant install bridge
cant install mute
can install tuners

No mute:
can install head
can install tailpiece
can install strings
can install bridge
can install tone ring & tension hoop
can install tuners

So there's some things that obviously are just extras such as mutes. But see how everything is connected, although tuners can pretty much be installed without needing much. But it is imperative to plan out everything to do. Otherwise, you end up in trouble. So here's my schedule:

Buy banjo by end of January
Buy parts by end of February
Await for parts to arrive
Disassembly by March 10

Reassembly:
New head by: March 20 DONE!
Tailpiece by: March 20 DONE!
New tuners by: March 25
Strings by: March 25
Bridge by: March 25
Extras:
Mute by: March 25

Notice, its all layered upon layered. I cant do this before doing this. Hence scheduling. So happy repairs!
