    I posted this a few weeks back and got 1 reply which was inadequate.
    In Alan Revere's book "The Art of jewelry Making", the lentil ring on
    the cover has a formed  lentil made out of 26g.  It is soldered
    together and then flush set so he wasn=92t coming in from the back.
    How was this done? I thought 18 g was about as thin as one could go
    in order to flush set. Thanks for all of you repeat e-instructors out
    there.
