Well... the way my vision works is that each artisan would have a thread inside "The Gallery". If someone creates a thread for a one time resto... thats fine, no different than a single post in the Restoration forum. You would have to have a moderator, no different than any other forum.

The main goal would be to find all of someones work in one thread with no extranious information. IE "Who would I rather have do custom scales, Alex or Joe" and then simply go look in their individual threads to see which suits the taste rather than having to search all over the site.
