Here is a wonderful technique to sand your bezels from @dreamlandcreations “Tape some sandpaper down to your work surface. Apply light but even pressure on your bezel (you don't want to squish it!) and move in a figure 8 motion. This creates a flush surface!” Thank you so much for sharing this simple, effective technique. It’s important to have a nice flush surface to ensure a good solder joint 👍 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #jeweler #metalsmith #jewelrymakingtechniques
