Using our tile saw to do some beginner rock cutting. Nine inches of snow and a day off of work...let's slice some rocks! #cuttingrocks #rocktilesaw #beginnerlapidary
You crack me up! I use to cut rocks up out in Arizona, the true beauty lies within for sure. However, yours shines through your eyes, your smile and your passion. Keep on rockin!
My daughter loved this video. Cutting rocks with dad is her favorite when it comes to rocks, next to finding them with Dad too. Love the colors, amazing cuts. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
My favorite videos are the cutting clips. I see a lot of artistic jewelry possibilities, and every time I see really pretty seam or narrow specimens, I think they would make great dangle earrings. Thin slices on silver hooks, would be out in the sun sometimes, would be seen and admired. Good energy.
I have been watching a few other rock hounder videos, but it’s not as easy as I thought it would be. Your videos have spoiled us. Thank you for doing such a great job and making it fun to go on a journey with you.
Whoa!!!! Every one is a winner! Love them ALL, I have no favorites. they are all so uniqe and beautiful on the inside and out. Jasper agates are always a surprise :)
Wow! Those are amazing. I thought the first one was my favorite... Then 3:25... Then 4:30... Then 4:45... After that it they just kept getting better! That last one tho... Love love love it!
Thanks John... Jasperized pet wood polishes nicely doesn't it? I am still working on learning to polish...it's harder than it looks! I just got myself an 8 inch Ameritool grinder/polisher flat wheel....
I wanted to offer to make you a cabachon & wrap it for you if you wanted to pick a slab out & send it to me. Just let me know. I belong to a lapidary club that has canning machines.
@@susanboggs1612 that sounds fantastic! I'd love to send you a slab! I can send you extra and you can make some for yourself or others....can you email me mailing information? Kimberly.nolan24@gmail.com
I have just been using a wet tile saw with a diamond blade on it... I am going to purchase a better slab saw shortly, I am trying to research the perfect one for me....
@@MontanaRockMom With a good slab saw you will get less pronounced saw marks making polishing that much easier. A quality vise/clamp helps as well. Many years ago I got some rock holders that are the best I have ever seen. Made of three metal arms joined at a bolt where you tighten the nut on the bolt and the arms clamp down on the rock. Then you put this is your vise. I got them on eBay and have looked all over and the original maker doesn't seem to be around. There is a North Carolina rock shop that have taken the idea and made knock-offs, but they don't looks as good and are way too expensive. They are at www.spiritrockshop.com and the three sizes are called "Lapidary Rock Holder".
@@MontanaRockMom Fantastic choice. I have a 24" Covington, a 14" Lortone, a 10" Drop Saw and a Whatever Brand 6" trim saw. I do nothing but cut/polish any longer as health and age concerns prevent me from collecting. I miss collecting terribly but have enough material on hand for at least a couple of lifetimes.
@@todddaugherty110 I can definitely see how material stacks up... I have quite the pile already. I do have a tremendous amount to learn on the cutting and polishing side of things.

Just found you because of Agate Angler! Already subscribed and enjoyed these beautiful slices! Good luck on your channel!
Thank you Ginger!
🤯🤯🤯
A lot of nice surprises the more you cut. I bet they would really be nice with some light behind them. Pretty though without it.
Ohhh good thinking! I should have done that!
New sub, Agate Angler sent me! Very nice!
Thank you for watching Treva!
Lovely cuts ✂️ 😍 ❤️
So nice, all of them
I love the one at 2:26... it looks like a volcano is erupting at night!
It totally does!
The black one at 2:30 is my fav!
Good looking cuts!
Thank you!
Really...Whats more fun than slicing rocks on your day off with 9 inches of snow outside...Enjoy!!!!
Cut the boring ones into a cube or pyramid they sometime surprise you and its good practice for when you have a good one you want to shape
Nice stones by the way
That's a great idea Dennis...and definitely good practice for me. I am still a little afraid of the wet saw, lol... but I am getting better....
Are from Dillon I just move here from Harrison an I was wondering about some places to look for rocks around here
I just had to watch it again, and again..... Lol.
Do you make cabachons as well? Those would make beautiful necklaces!
I am still learning so I am not quite there yet.... but when I look at these rocks I can visualize the endless possibilities... so much beauty...

What type of saw do you used to cut your stones in half?
