Speaking of making your own tools, this guy (Jura) makes and sells
some very interesting holding tools and devices to use when setting
with your micro-block. He’s a great stone setter, he developed tools
for himself and they were so good that people want to buy them. I
have no affiliation, just admire his work and ingenuity. There is a
link on this page to view his tools.
