Love those. Can I ask how you did the border on the first one? Is that thick sheet that you formed, or strip? or ? And the cutouts are with your jeweler's saw right?

Bluesky78987 It is classic southwestern You solder a triangle wire to the plate surrounding the bezel. Then saw into it with a jewlers saw 1/3 of the way top and bottom, 1/2 way on the sides for this one. After sawing some, all, or none of the slots are filed to get the design. I did half round on the sides top and bottom, leaving just the saw cut middle. Half round and full round on the sides. Vic
