Had an order for a wedding/anniversary book Sunday nite. Needed it by this Sat. I got the file, should just add the names and dates. Shouldn't be a problem. I can run one off. OK - we'll give it a go.
Then it comes out. This is for her pastor's wife's birthday - replace the rings and verse with the church logo and the lady's name. And condense about 3 chapters of text to a few lines. Also had to glue up a new piece of baltic birch because the book had to be enlarged (more $$ to ship-baltic birch is heavy) to make it work. I had the original design file to fit stock sizes. And ... she lives in San Jose CA - 2000+ miles away.
Used the bitmap trace feature in Aspire (MEBCWD would be proud of me). Designed, glued up material, cut, painted, lacquered, dried, and sent out priority mail Wednesday.
Onward and upward!!!
