The nice thing about wood working is usually if it doesn't look like what you want, you just have to keep working until it does. The more tools acquired, and tricks you learn, the faster you can get to that point.
Looks like you've picked up plenty of both, well done.

That's true. And a nice job btw. But working with iron you can weld you screwups back together. Not so with wood, as I well know.

For her birthday present, my daughter will get to go with my wife to go see Les Miserables in NYC. She (the daughter) is in love with that show, but has only seen the movie and listened to the music. It will be an awesome trip to New York. They will take the early bus up, see the city sights during the day, then the show at night and stay in a medium quality touristy hotel near the theater. Maybe do some more sight seeing the next day and then come home by bus again. It should be a fun time.

When you buy tickets online, they wait forever before sending them to you, so we won't even have tickets to wrap and give to her in late June.

So I just spent the morning putting this graphic together. I'll take it over to CVS and get it printed out in 8X10. It will give us something to wrap up and give her, and she can put on her wall if she wants.

It took about two hours, finding and stealing all the various images from around the web and combining them into this. It's hard to find high resolution images that will print well at 8 x 10.

Nice! I have zero graphic design skills, I would have just scrawled it on a piece of paper.

I've never seen the film, but saw the show more times than I could count.
And cried every time.
I'm sure she'll adore it.

and yes, fantastic presentation work.

Hope she doesn't pull a teenager and wake up some morning completely hating that show, and insisting you're just don't understand her because she's never liked that show.

This will absolutely happen. I'm just hoping it won't happen until August.
