    In response to David's question about attaching a bezel to a
    reticulated surface, I can tell you how I approach the problem.  I
    usually line my bezel up on the metal surface and trace a line
    around it with a sharpie pen.  Then I use an abrasive wheel in the
    flex shaft to flatten down the area where the bezel will sit, being
    careful to grind only inside my guide lines.  At that point the
    surface where the bezel will sit is usually flat enough to accept
    the bezel and solders without a problem.  This is a pretty tedious
    process and one that has to be fairly exact so I am also curious how
    others approach it.
