The worker sits before a wheel turned by a pedal and the lit- tle, pointed instruments, resembling those used by dentists are placed, in the corner of the small table on which the worker's hand rests while he holds the shaped stone or shell beneath the needle-like drills. The drills vary in thickness according to the portion of the design to be execu- ted.
