    What you're looking for is called a jamb peg.  It's basically a tall
    cylinder with holes drilled in it.  A stick with a stone dopped to
    it is inserted into the cylinder with the stone applied to a flat
    lap.  By inserting into various holes you get a faceted stone. As I've
    mentioned on this forum before check out "Gem Cutting" by John
    Sinkankas for details. Kevin
