Bevel cluster question by
Gail Sperling
I just received a bevel cluster I ordered. Unforunately the pieces don't
fit together very well where they fit into the end of a "V". There is a
large gap. Would you work with this gap or grind the pieces to fit better?
Thanks,
Gail

It looked to be a very interesting hobby that I want to try. I got a

Moonraker by
Kalera Stratton

about how much money you make doing repair work, and say nasty things
about anyone who doesn't do exactly the same kind of work that you do.
Wow, good for you,...
