It would have been helpful for most of us that do not have that hexagonal form to bend around to know how you would proceed with making that shape. Such a beautiful box! Thank you for sharing this!❤
Pat, thank you for posting this great box project. I have drilled a 3mm hole in my bench pin just past the back/inside of the "V" (and a couple of other places too) I have cut into it (like yours). I have a short piece of heavy brass wire (3mm) that I insert where I need it when I need a brace to butt up sheet that I am sawing so it doesn't keep sliding up and putting all the strain in my holding hand. Hope that's a helpful tip. 😊
It is tough but it can be done, yes. Be careful if the stone is different heights you will have to adjust the bezel to take the difference in levels of the cabochon to make the bezel fit and look right.
