Okay, I'll give it a try. I use a little torch and sometimes I think it would be way cool to have a little cutting torch about the same size.  Grin Woulda knocked those pins right off..........Bob

all I did was place the back on the charcoal block with the bezel around the back plate.

I made my backing by shaping then hammering a round wire flat.

Now I am going to give the soldering of the bezel tape to the outside of it today like you did.

I just hope it solders well so there are no gaps. I have read how sometimes you can keep adding solder sometimes to fill little voids up even after the first solder has cooled.

Any way..... just a rambling a bit before I head out to the store.
