After the stress that some this opal’s causes on you, is nice to see you taking some days off, because you look more relaxed, and your mind may be more creative. Is ok if we don’t see you for a few days, for we see you more confident, and we enjoy see your work on the show , I enjoy to see you and your family doing that shuffle at the end of the show, we really enjoyed it God bless you all.
Justin, I'm in the "high-risk" category, and cannot get out much. Just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed your videos over the last year--you've helped keep me entertained and taught me a lot! I'm so glad you were able to get away for a couple of weeks, and go fishing with your family--something I really miss doing myself. Hoping you get to feeling much better, and looking forward to the next video!
I found you at the start of the pandemic and got hooked. As did many others clearly! Have Melinda show us how your subscriber numbers grew during this past year. Glad you had such a great holiday with Saxon. Some consolation for not being there with your Dad when he landed his worldie. But lovely that the first thing he wanted to do was call you to share his joy! Sweet.
Aussie opals are for legends, planning to teach my bf's sister to cut one while drinking alcohol, bc I have done it with beer, it worked fine. Black Opal Direct opals are my choice and I put it out there, all I need is to find the right beer or champagne.
man I remember when he only had about 8,000 subscribers. And I remember when he went crazy when he got over a thousand viewers! It's so cool watching this channel grow! Good for ya'll! Keep up the awesome works.
Oh all the great news made me tear up a bit. Thank you for sharing your adventures and stories with us. Love you so much! I really missed you too! Nobody beats you on cutting any kind of gems, esp. opal. Congratulations on your TH-cam award!
That's awesome Justin! I love fishing, I love aussie opals and I love the channel!!! Congratulations on the TH-cam plaque, you deserve it!! Such a kind hearted humble guy.. Thank you!
I love your channel and all of your beautiful work, I'm so glad you took time off grid to holiday and reguvinate. We are here , not going anywhere so take the time you need , no worries 🙏🏻✌🏻♥️🇨🇦
Congratulations to you and the team on that 100k milestone. So good to see that so many people appreciate your work and enthusiasm for all of those opals. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Glad to see you back, Justin!! Not the same without having one of your goofy dance clips, I live for that!! I'd love to go fishing with you. It looks like Barramundi are quite a fight!!
I made a comment about watching your older vids.. my memory is so bad that they all seem new!!!! Congrats on your 100,000 subs! Each stone is like an adventure, isn't it? Thanks so much as always!
I liked that grey and white opal that didn’t work out with a nice grey/black swirl would make a lovely ring. I can’t decide on the colours of opal I prefer.
I missed your weekly videos so much!. Happy to hear you all had a wonderful holiday. Congratulations Black Opal Direct on your much deserved TH-cam award. Loved this video, the last gem was a mixture of many emotions, kept me glued to the screen. Great to have you back Justin, and thankyou for another great video Black Opal Direct , looking forward to the reveal in next weeks video.
ok , the stone at 18:52 is the about the colour of the stones i find here , maybe a little more blue , i was afraid to cut too deeply and thought i had been doing it wrong . have just been saving all of the raw ones i have found over the years until recently . i started by playing with bloodstones and worthless ones to get myself used to the tools i have thank you sir . you certainly have an excellent selection to choose from when you make a video . i can see no inclusions on any of my rocks when i find them so off i go , thanks again.
I always enjoy watching your Channel. You're like we're watching a famous artist create these incredible pieces of Art. Congrats on all your views you are truly amazing at your craft.
I'm glad you were able to go for a recharge, welcome back. All those stones were just waiting for the masters touch. Beautiful colors. Sorry I missed the live. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒🍯🍋
It might be you. Over and over. But each episode is different because of the Opal.. I started watching you Justin. And each time you work in Opal. Amazes me.. I love any stone, or gem with an incredible flash. Along with opals.. I am also fascinated in the love with labradorite. Tigers eye.. moonstone ( etc. ) it amazes me how mother nature creates such beautiful works of art. For people like Justin to turn into bigger and beautiful work of art. I consider anything you do with your hands is artistic. But Justin. You are the Picasso of black opals.. my opinion.
Well let me blow your mind. I'm watching from Mississippi USA. We catch catfish here and they are a staple in restaurants, fried. Been really enjoying your videos. Your accent makes telling the stories much more entertaining.
Awesome. Please dont you ever stop doing what you do, it is such a pleasure watching!!!! Whenever i wear my small imptytimpty white crystalopalring i am thinking about you
Justin you truly amaze me every time, the hole time i watched this video i felt the same way you did with mixed emotions and getting frustrated wondering if there's a gem under all of that sand. and out of all of that to me there was and its gorgeous.!!!! and not only you words come from your heart which brought me comfort. i have a quote for you that i live by , good things come to those who wait. thank you i enjoyed it.
Omg I'll have to show you the pics with me and my dad we got a huge bass years ago it was one memory ill never forget and I hope you and Saxon get to have alot more of those memorys I'm very excited about his new channel!
Yay!! Congrats on the plaque.That is a big achievement for sure. Great to hear you had such a nice trip. I miss fishing with my dad when I was a girl. Sounds good you will be fixing up your shop. You do so much work there but it will be more cheerful.😁
Congrats on the Play Button and for the wonderful fish story Thankyou. You will have cherished memories forever.
I loved the story about your dad. made me shed a tear thinking of your experience and all the great times ive had with my father.
You'll still have a great time with your dad, but it will just have to be in heaven, but then again he could be an angel ???
