Restart

When I went to my Uncle Fareed's shop today, I was expecting to polish my ring and set the stone. I was dead wrong. My Uncle Marwan, who also works at F.M. Abdulky, taught me how to polish which is a fairly simple task, other than the fact that the metal gets really hot and burns your hands. I had to have burned my fingers about fifteen times. After I polished my ring and was prepared to set my stone, my Uncle Fareed noticed spots where I used too much solder which resulted in small bubbles on the bezel, so he made me start the ring all over again.... I once again created the bezel by shaping it into a circle, then curved the shank and also made it a circle followed by soldering the two together before time ran out and I had to go to track practice.
