I am looking for the same type of instructions for creating cabachons as I found for the wire wrapping.
Since I have three tumblers going, I am looking to learn and teach myself how to use my new little grinder and flex shaft.
I have a small pouch of small(ish) polished stones that I can practice with.
Thanks again for all the help!!

Get the back flat first. (easier if you start with a slab but possible with already polished nugget) Then get the outline like you want it. Then dome the top. Taper the side edge to fit the setting it will be in, the same all the way around.
