    I haven't done this type of work but have talked to someone who has
    and the stacked cabs are made by first making the bezel setting or
    use a bezel cup if you are working with calibrated cabs. Then solder
    a short piece of 16ga or similar gage wire on the back of the bezel
    setting as a pin then set the cab. Then use a diamond drill and
    drill into the lower cab a hole close to the size of the pin. Then
    epoxy or super glue the upper and lower cab to each other.
