Hey Jay,

    Good point about the thin bezel wire that most suppliers provide !
    It IS too thin and it tends to crumple when rolled and/or crimped.
    It also doesn't take much to wear it through when polishing and the
    durability of the piece is also diminished. 

    You might suggest some suppliers who have alternative thicknesses
    and, for that matter, other widths. Sometimes I like to inject some
    design into the upper portion of the bezel stock and a bit more
    width means wider design parameters. 

    It occurred to me that since you are an instructor at UCSD you might
    mention whether your classes are available to the public as are many
    other University programs that have broad appeal.  Thanks again, Ron
