    Hi All, Stone carving is an area I've always wanted to try so I am
    enjoying this thread.  For those of you who are experienced at this,
    I would like to ask a few questions: 

    1.  What kind of set up do you use to catch the throw-off from the
    wheel that still allows good visibility and accessibility?  Pictures
    would be great. 

    2.  Do you primarily use a flex-shaft tool? 

    3.  What is your preferred method; to fix the handpiece (assuming
    you use a flex-shaft) in place then move the stone to it with the
    hands or vice-versa? 

    4.  If you fix the handpiece in position, what orientation is
    usually preferred?  Handpiece pointed to the side or toward you or
    away from you? 

    Thanks in advance.  I'm sure I will think of more questions as soon
    as I hit the send button. Best Regards, Dale
