Russ, how do you do your own seats without using a stone? Do you have some kind 
of hand tool that will cut a 3-angle seat?

I have a good shop here that uses a megabuck machine that looks like a special 
milling machine to cut my seats. He does a good job and it's pretty cheap if I 
do all the other work, but it would be nice to have a way that I could do this 
myself.
