5. Marking Preforms
Templates are used to mark the bottoms of the stones to be cut. Custom templates can be made using brass or plastic sheet. These are all standard ovals and circles. Templates are only a guide, because a stone often dictates how it wants to be cut and may come out very differently then the original template pattern.
