    Default invisible or blind setting stones

    does anyone have any info on how this style of stone setting is done, I have seen articles that mention it but can't find any info on how to do it, and whilst it will no doubt be well out of my skill range I would be interested to know the secret of doing it.

    Cheers

    If you were invisible how would you see where your hands were??
    I'm not sure a blind person would set stones very well at all....then again there's probably a master stone setter who's found a way around their lack of eyesight...
    (Can you tell I haven't a clue??? I bet Peter would know, he's clever he is!! )

    In Greek mythology Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. Legend states that Achilles was semi-immortal, however his heel was vulnerable. Since he died due to a poisoned arrow shot into his heel, the "Achilles' heel" has come to mean a person's principal weakness

    ....according to Wikipedia....I couldn't have written it in less than 1,000 words!!!
