    I bought a square one a few years ago on impulse, dwelling under the
    misapprehension that you can start with a washer shape and make a
    bezel in one of these. The metal tore every time. If I understand
    correctly now, you start with a tube or cone and refine it in the
    block. So far, so good. 

    But if there is anyone who is comfortable with these techniques who
    is in (or is passing through) the Chicago area and would be willing
    to come do a demo at one of my classes, that would be fantastic! Let
    me know--
