    Gerry, these are some great tips. 

    But I have a question about one. When you describe using a round bur
    cut down to a dome shape to shape a (presumably heavy) bezel for a
    cab, what size bur do you use relative to the size of the stone? The
    same size? Smaller? How much smaller? Plus, this sounds great, but
    if the opening at the top is smaller than the seat (as it will be if
    you cut the seat with a domed bur), how do you get the stone in?    

    Thanks for clarification! 
--Noel
