Thank you!! This video was perfect, I was really worried about the cutting process being dangerous; getting my hands too close, rocks flinging off the blade if I didn’t hold it well enough, etc. and this really helped ease my mind and helped me visualize what I was actually going to be doing… I appreciate it!
I am recently retired and have been a rockhound since a kid collected lots of animal, wood, and even mushrooms fossils and over 150 geodes I have collected over the years bot have yet to cut one... I have one That continues to contain the water it was created from.. You can hear it with a shake.. Funny how I came across your interesting channel at this moment because I am bored, have plenty of geodes, and already own a tile saw... Not going to touch The one that contains the dinosaur piss.. lol Happy hunting.. rocks that is..
lol I remember when I got into rock hunting. I would just smash em with a hammer and see what I had lol. I ruined quite a few nice specimens but oh well I had nobody to help me get into this hobby so it's been a major learning experience, these days there a million online references its really changed the game.
Hey man. Why don't you fill your saw box with water like they're designed for? Doesn't yours have the drain plug and fill line inside? Also, you could always take the tall area that wouldn't get cut if you went full depth, and work through with that as your first cut, then do your one deep cut without spinning. I've never cut where you pull towards you but I only ever do tile and stone fir construction . Love the video man
Hey! This one is super old haha. That old saw didn’t have a water basin inside so I had to Jimmy the water set up. This spring I’ll be recreating this video with a proper lapidary saw 🤘🏻 much easier on that
@@GeodeCrackerCollector sweet! I look forward to it! I have you to thank because here o though I just had some cool looking brain-like rocks along with all of the other stuff I've collected since my addiction started last year. Come to find out from your vids, those things are geodes!
@@bobbysweeney5377 heck yea!! That’s awesome! Glad to hear you had some sneaky geodes hanging out!! You down south I take it? Anywhere from southern Indiana down to Kentucky and Tennessee you can find em
Having spent tons of time with family in Iowa.... Keokuk, Iowa where geode park is, is pronounced key- uh- cuck. "Key" like a key, "uh" like you are saying um and "cuck" like duck but with c. Do any of the geodes in your collection fluoresce??? That would be neat to see.
Great safety tips on the different kind of blades!

Awesome video man, LOVE all the finds and cuts! Getting the itch for some geode cracking & cutting!
Thank you… you helped me so much to crack a geode.. even it’s painful
Thank You for this video, I have been waiting for a segment on actual cutting…and definitely need to be less afraid of the blade for sure ✌🏻
My pleasure Lisa! Don’t fear the blade!
Yay, so glad I found your TH-cam, I follow you on TT too! My kids love geodes!
Some nice cuts can't wait to see the geodes get a polish I know the saw blades scuff the hell out of them.
Oh yea! They’ll shine up nice! Once this heat wave passes I’ll get the polishing video put together
Cutting and breaking, finally and thanks from southeastern Massachusetts. I’ve subscribed
Thank you for this! I have been wanting to get into cutting rocks and this video was really helpful!!
My pleasure! Happy cutting! Keep us updated if you do!
@@GeodeCrackerCollector do i HAVE to cut the geode like that?
I don’t understand your question.
@@GeodeCrackerCollector i mean do i have to break it the way you did?
@@GeodeCrackerCollector ?
Can you show how to cut geodes in slices? I’m interested in making slices of geode crystals into jewelry.
informative! Thankyou!
Awesome. Nice music. If I may ask what is the name of this song? Thank you for your educative video. First time seeing you. Blessings.
Let me double check the tune!
So what do you do with them after you polish them? Is this something you sell or what?
Some I do sell, mainly I enjoy collecting them and learning what’s inside, and I’ve got a pretty epic display in my garage 😎🤘🏻
@@GeodeCrackerCollector how much is the cost of geode?
I am recently retired and have been a rockhound since a kid collected lots of animal, wood, and even mushrooms fossils and over 150 geodes I have collected over the years bot have yet to cut one...

Where should we go in Indiana? Love seeing this, cheers indeed! 🎉❤
Got there, Lawrence county. Any more specific a local be much appreciated. 😁
I would love to see you crack open some geodes
I’ll be live in about an hour cracking some geodes!
@@GeodeCrackerCollector can hardly wait!
best technique, how to cut geode. Thank you for sharing useful videos friends. Greetings from Indonesian agate hunters.
Hey man you hunt the geodes? How could I get ahold of you about geodes I have like 100's of them
lol I remember when I got into rock hunting. I would just smash em with a hammer and see what I had lol.

Why not make marks with a carpenter pencil or some marker? When I cut tile we use pencils and a metal squares.

Is there Not a easier way?
There are plenty of different methods. This video just focused on this method.
@@GeodeCrackerCollector or can you just hit it with a hammer?
