Thank you to every last one of you that responded to my story yesterday (over 50 messages ππ»ππ) to help a member of our community fit a bezel on a curved ring. The overwhelming consensus was to tape sand paper to a steel ring mandrel. If the ring is a size 7, you tape the sandpaper where the size 7 is on the mandrel, then you patiently sand. This incredible video is from
@meritmade who had already made this video and generously shared it with me, go on and give her a follow π©βπalso once you achieve the perfect fit you can use binding wire to hold the bezel to the ring. You canβt solder gaps - if you see light, it ainβt right (this should be a t-shirt) π ALSO: donβt forget to rotate the bezel so you donβt get a taper!
@meritmade does this in the video but I edited it down π thanks for the reminder
