TODAY - Another Tip on How to Prevent Defects and Tool Marks.

Thanks! Can you please tell me where you got the funky magnifiers from?

Thanks for the tip Doug. I wanted to ask if you can make a video on how you created the serrated bezel setting you have shown as an example in this video. I would rather know how to create it by hand manually, rather then using the bezel castellated tool.
