    I don't have the video, but I went and took stone setting from
    Blaine a few years ago-- he is terrific, and I learned a lot. But he
    didn't teach us this particular technique-- snapping the stone into
    an opening that is slightly too small on the outside, enlarged just
    below with a hart bur. It is going pretty well, I just wondered what
    the rule of thumb is for how much too small the opening should be.
