Yesterday Pat worked on bezels while I was minding the kiln and shooting waxes. Here are some of the steps each bezel goes through before we can use them.

Triming the excess back off.
Bezels ready for their back edges to be ground even with the incredibly thin walls.
Grinding the edges even, without grinding into the side walls!
