I`d just add...try avoiding those "native cut" colour stones with the rounded bellies that won`t grip the hole due to lack of a defined girdle.
They really are not suited for the style & will cause serious headache.

Chris, which stones are these? how do I know which ones to avoid?
Thank you :)

The best way to learn that is wait until you come across a problem & take note.

Here you go John - these 3no 1.25mm black diamonds went in really smoothly after watching your video :cheers:
The most difficult bit was finding the one I dropped... then finding the one I placed on the floor to see what the one I dropped would look like when it was on the floor #-o

I found them both in the end tho :dancing:
