    Likely I won't be the only one to point out that the article shows an
    improper way to flush set stones. It's not the AllSet part, it's the
    hammering part. A couple of setters have said on this thread how to
    do it properly - cut the bearing, insert the stone, rub it in. A good
    setter is able to set a stone into a polished surface without
    disturbing the surface around it, or not much. Now, I'm a pretty good
    setter, but not a great one, and sometimes I need to resort to
    hammering to tighten up stones, too, but that doesn't make it right -
    just that I'm not good enough at it. Just so you know - yes, it will
    work, but it's not the "right" way to do it.
