Unboxing, a trim saw review and giveway - this rock video has it all! Kate receives her new Covington powerfeed trim saw. After a tough time getting it out of the package, she cuts her first slab on the new machine, trims it to size and makes a cabochon from the beautiful striped jasper stone. The stone will be given away, along with a copy of Kate's book, "So Many Beautiful Rocks," on Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022 just before her weekly video at 5 Mountain time.

Thanks to the musicians who add their awesome music to these videos via the TH-cam Audio Library. I'd especially like to mention Dan Leibowitz, whose music I use extensively, Mini Vandals and TrackTribe.
KatyDid ROCKS! has been making videos on TH-cam for more than three years. Her aim is to show people the excitement and wonder of finding rocks and exploring the natural world, while educating through example. Along with rockhounding on this channel, Kate works on improving her lapidary skills and learning as much as she can about her many interests, including opal cutting, silversmithing and wire wrapping.
Keep watching - and you'll want to "keep on doing!"

I'm jealous of your new toy, I mean tool. Maybe since it's not really rockhounding weather you could show us some of your favorite keepers.
I would love to see a tutorial on how to cab start to finish, that would be what I would want in video! Even if its a multi part video, from rock selection to cutting to shaping with step by step instructions.
Love your new saw my husband wants one!! So happy cutting! Go girly go! 👍🌹❤️😘
It's a cool tool, for sure.
Yay!! New power tools!!!! Most excellent! Always so much fun to watch you!!!
Thanks. :)
Love the new saw! Would love to see other items you create!
Hi Kate, tickled about the new saw!!🤗😁. YAY!!!
Congrats on the new saw! Would love to see some content on using the slabs in different projects.
Good idea - thanks!
I liked watching you make the cabachon. Love seeing the initial rock or mineral and the beauty you coax from it. Would love to see more. Beautiful
Hey a twinsie...
Thanks!
Beautiful rock! I love your new saw. Congratulations! I would love to see more cutting/creating in future videos.
I would like to see more finding of rocks and cutting to a final polish. I love watching the entire process. Thanks for the great video.
Great new saw. Nice cat, too. I’d like to see more videos rockhounding out of state and/or with Theo Kellison. 😊
I love the whole process! Finding, cutting, polishing and a GIVE AWAY!
Thanks!
Katy I would love to see more stabbing and making of cabs with rock slabs!! Love ur channel!
Thanks!
Congratulations on the new saw! I’m new to Rockhounding, so any content is fine with me.
Congrats on your new saw!! I'd love to see more cabochons cut.
A beautiful cab. I’d like to see slicing of jasper and making cabs from it. You are doing a wonderful job at making cabs.
Hi Katy, I’m a subscriber..... and just love the content and following along. I always love seeing the petrified wood gathering.
Awesome! Thank you!
The banded jasper is beautiful and that cab came out awesome. You did a great job reshaping and saving it! It really is fantastic with those colorful stripes. Your new saw is amazing, I bet you love it! I would really love to see the sunshine and a rockhounding video but since we have so much snow... I also love it when you do the "What's inside?" videos and cut a bunch of those beauties! The cutting and cabbing videos you do are really cool and fun too. Thanks for sharing Kate!✌️🤠🤘
Enjoying your videos. Hounding, polishing, or slabbing videos would be great to see next. Thanks for entering me in the contest!
I love your posts. So many rocks are hard to tell from the outside. Thank you for guiding us to be able to find our own. Please keep up with more hunts and what you find.
Thanks!
I am a new subscriber even though I have been living vicariously through your videos for a long while now. I never knew I had a bucket list until I started watching your videos, and now I really want to rock hound the Yellowstone. I am from Indiana so I collect rocks and fossils from creeks and surrounding farm fields. Anyway, I find the different colors of jasper to be fascinating, so maybe some cabs in that material would be cool. I like them all though, so I am not picky. Thank you for what you post.
Nice saw,, I like it! I need to get a bigger one too! You do so many things but would like to see you make more things like your pottery and stone combos! And anything you do with Theo and Alex! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Brian. :)
Id like to see more beach rock hunt, i love that and maybe hear more about minerals :) Totally into you cutting rocks too, its so interesting!
Thanks!
Congratulations on your new saw! I enjoy your videos. Love it when you show from finding to finishing.
Nice Kate! I would love to see more of you creating the things you create. You are so artistic! 🤩
Beautiful cab. I’d love to see more colorful carnelian cabs and colorful agates . I love color and and in rocks it’s so amazing. Thank you so much for all your sharing .
Me too! Thanks. :)
Hi, thank you for the time you take to share with us. I’d like to see how you’d make a mosaic type table top, using bits left over from other lapidary projects. Have a great evening.
Your video on the Covington 10 inch saw couldn’t have been more timely. I just put myself on their wait list for my saw. Thanks for your videos I look forward to seeing every one of them. I lived in Billings for 22 years and loved every one of them.
Did you get your saw? I just unpacked mine and am intimidated. Draining it looks difficult.
Great video, the saw looks awesome and very handy. I'd love to see a video of some of your favorite finds from the past year of rock hunting.
See ya Sunday! That Cab would make a great wire wrap pendant(I make jewelry on Etsy)!
Thank you!
Congratulations on the new saw. I would love to see more cutting and polishing videos. Different shapes. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Cats do help so much with boxes and box opening events. ❤. I enjoyed your use of the new saw, and that IS a beautiful rock and cab! Cheers!
Thank you!
Hi Katy I love everyone of your videos, I would love to see Mr. Did compaired to your first video together and now how he has grown to love rockhounding. He has surely learned so much from you. You are made for each other. He is so supportive to you and vise versa. I would like to see a video from his perspective.
That is a really cool idea - once it thaws out a bit I'll work on that!
I love watching you work with the rocks
Great new saw. Enjoy.
Videos on Yellowstone River always great.
Hi Katy, the new saw looks like it is going to be a useful addition to the workshop. Just a tad Jealous. 😂😂
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Thanks!
Kate, been watching you for a long time and enjoy your videos! I especially like the "what's inside" ones that you show in connection with the finds.
Thanks, Ginger!
I enjoy your shows and the shows you do with Theo. I would like to see a video showing and describing each of the different types of agate that you find on the Yellowstone from finding to cutting and polishing.
Good idea - thanks!
Hiya! Getting new equipment is always exciting! Yay!!! Love that piece btw! Anyhoo while I like anything rock related, I'd love to see more cutting, shaping, jewlery making videos. However, I'd just be thankful if you continue taking us all along on any of your rockin adventures. 👍
Thanks!
I enjoy all of your videos! Anything you do will be great to watch!
Thanks!
I was just as excited watching you open your new saw as if it was mine! I love your videos of you rock hounding, the scenery, the rocks....ahhh. I would love to know how you decide where to hunt and how you get access to these places. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep coming along
Love your work and want a flat lap a cab! Love see do,thanks so much and your dog and husband in your shows! Glad got your new boat going great now! ❤️😘🌹💞Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁😊
Thanks, Charlotte!
I'd love to see more rock cutting I love to see what's inside ❤️
Thanks!
Loved it when Mr. Did was reading your cat’s mind, he nailed it! 😂Beautiful new saw, I hope it works well for you , I still have to take my saw out of its container! It’s a tiny one. I think one of my favorites Is when and Jim rock hunt together, the chemistry and laughs, I enjoy that! Also like when you make a nice find another the river, then you show it slabbed, love the closeups of the inside!Honestly I enjoy all the videos, and I’m learning to be a better rockhounder!👍😄 Thanks Kate!
Thank you, Donna!
Congrats on the new saw, Kate! It sure looks like a nice one. I really like the videos that you're exploring the Yellowstone & finding all those beautiful rocks. The cutting and polishing ones are nice but... Anyway, keep the videos coming - no matter which kind they are - cause I love them all!
I love exploring too. The snow has other ideas. :D
Sweet new saw, works great. I like how you saved that piece with a different shape after it broke, very smart. Honestly anything video you make is excellent, just keep rocking on, that's all we need! Thanks for inspiring us all Kate.
You are going to enjoy your new saw! I like the jaw design very much on that model.
See next why easy. Want to see you cut some of that great material you have gathered on the creek.
Thanks!
Congratulations on the new saw Kate and thank you for sharing your first cut with us! Did the plexiglass cover come with the saw? Or did you have to order that extra?
I really enjoy all of your videos and would like to see one that would take a raw rock (maybe a clip of one found in a previous video, before the snow flew), then cleaned, explaining your cleaning process and then cut and worked into a project.
Please and thank you!!!
It is ordered extra. Thanks!
Hello Katy ! That was a nice cabochon ! I love when you go and find rocks, but I would also like seeing more of you working those rocks!
Hey Kate, love the new toy! i’d love to see drone footage of Kava chasing the geese in the next vid lol! and if I do win the giveaway, draw another name please. i already have the privilege of owning a copy of your book. as if you didn’t know that already 😂.
Love your new saw Kate! What model is it?
I just love your rock hounding videos. You and Mr. Did, do a great job of making relaxing, inspiring videos. I'd love to see you make some holiday ornaments. Thanks for all you do.
Awesome! What an absolutely beautiful rock! The lines are fabulous. 😮. I would love to receive this stone and your book! Wowzer!
Please, do more rock cutting videos. I love when you cut agates and jaspers. They are so lovely.
As always, love your channel. Thank you for your hard work in creating and sharing.
Stay Crystal 💫
Mari
Thanks, Mari!
I love how this turned out! And I would like to learn more about how the petrified wood is formed. Thanks for all your videos, Kate.
I would Love to see more lapidary. Nice new saw!
Hi Kate! Thanks for your videos, they are just inspiring! I would love to watch you polishing an agate, possibly a water line, TSA or moss Agate without cutting it, just grind it from the husk, both sides. Thanks and keep up with the great work
That's a great idea. :)
Hey Kate. Congrats on your new saw. Let’s have another video with your new saw. Pull out some of your mystery Yellowstone River finds and let’s see what’s inside. Another video could be tumbling the slabs.
Thanks!
New yools are always fun. That was a beautiful rock. 😍 Thank you for sharing your knowlage and adventures with us.
Thanks for watching!
I can say that I live vicariously through your videos.. I wanted to grab that shipping box and rip it to shreds. I don't have any suggestions for new videos; every one you've made has been so fun. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Virginia!
Gratz on the saw Kate, I would like to see a wind chime made from thin slices :)
Sounds great!
I've got to get out your way to find some of those fabulous agates. I would love watching you cut and polish some of them. 🙂
Thanks, Jacques!
Awesome new saw. I would like to see you work some petrified wood or agates into cabochons!
Thanks!
I love watching whatever adventures you take us on❤
Thanks!
Don’t give up on your other awesome saw. Maybe just needs a new motor. Would love to see ideas on what to do with all the rocks we collect other than jewelry.
Carole, it does need a new motor. I gave the old trim saw to my neighbor, who also loves agates and is handy. :) My slab saw is still alive and kicking.
Another great video! I love all your videos, especially when y'all are out hounding. I'm from Florida so anytime we get below 70°, I literally can not handle the cold and we never have the snow situation. Since y'all can't get out to rockhound, I would love to see cutting videos. It's so cool to see what's inside. I hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for letting us in on first use of the new saw. I know winter is coming but my favorite thing is going to the river to rock hound.
I love it too!
Nice saw! I love the rockhounding videos…I also LOVE the rock tumble mix I got from your store. So many nice pieces! I am just starting to work them in my barrels.
like to see you look for agates on the great lakes. nice saw keep up the great videos.
what i love seeing is stones cut that are found .. Those are my favorite ones
I have to replace my old saw that was stolen and was looking at this model but none of the pictures I saw were good. Thank you for a better look at it, I think I'm gonna order it.
Hey Kate! You cab is gorgeous and I can’t think of anything I would like to see that you don’t put up often. Thank for all the great videos and if you ever want to come out to Wisconsin in the Driftless Region you can come pick my stream.
Awesome! Thanks. :)
That turned out great. I have your great book so if I should happen to win I would like you to pick another one and send them your book. But I will take the cab. Thank you for all your great shows.
Hi kate! That sure was a beautiful cab and your new saw is awesome! What i would like to see next is another awesome project video (like your mugs with stone inlays, etc). You are so good at these projects and they are terrific gift ideas for xmas. Like maybe some thin cut slab pieces in a clear epoxy, to create a stained glass effect, or any project. Your creations are beautiful! thanks!
Haha that’s funny you say that. I thought of that the other day. I was looking at all my rock chips from the saw and wondering what I could do with it all. I was thinking things like crush it up and coat a mug in epoxy or start making rings with crushed stone in epoxy etc. 😅
Thanks, Lisa. :)
I would love to see a solid geode al cut and polished revealing its beauty. Would love the book.
Are you referring to the edge cut and polish showing the crystals or a solid filled in geode.. full of quartz?
That sounds cool! Thanks. :)
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Yes and slabs.
@@jonlennon3348 I don't find the solid geodes as interesting as the open with crystal formations.. I've slabbed solid ones from Iowa. They are odd a bit cloudy. I've yet to polish them...
Hi Kate, thanks for demonstrating the new saw. Would love to see other things that you make with your rocks over the winter months
Thanks!
I’d like to see an absolute beautiful see thru slab turned into a light either with a flame less candle behind it or a backlit with a lamp … would be gorgeous say with an agate? Or the most beautiful slab!
Theo see when next makers challenge begins?
Great idea
Good idea - thanks!
I would love to see more Montana Agates and cut petrified wood if possible. I love slabs, not into cabs or any jewelry for that matter, but I am just being selfish because of an allergy I can no longer wear jewelry. 😊
Thanks, Alice! I do plan to do more cutting.
Love the energy you bring to all your videos and your love of rockhounding! Do you ever do work with fossils? Would love a video on basic ways to polish stones when you do not have a cab machine and how to obtain that "wet" look. Also, do you have any advice for drilling into stones? Thank you
Good idea. :) To drill, use a diamond bit and water. Go slow and keep it cool :)
Hi Kate! I’m a new subscriber and new to rockhounding. I’d love to see all the things you do with the rocks you find as I’ve been wondering what I would do with all the rocks I collect.
Thanks, Cheryl! The rocks really do start to pile up. :)
What a great trim saw! The Jasper you chose is really pretty - good job!! My favorite stone is your Montana Moss Agate, so would like to see you cut and work a cab from one of them, please.
Kate, yay to you for the new saw! Watching you get started with it was almost like being there to enjoy it as well. As for the next video, I would really like to see/hear you explain how you decide where to cut a rock (the angle/location/etc.). I always think there's a better/best way to cut any stone... but how does a person get there?! 😵💫
what I would like to see is so easy it will dumb found you ready More rocks and keep doing ps that cab is mine LOL
Hi Katy, I'd like to see what the "red" end of the rock you cut in this video looks like with a good polish. Thanks for the videos!
I am a newbie to all this. I’m learning so much from your videos. I would love to see a video on how you clean your rocks before you trim them. I know it’s basic but I get frustrated when there is still crud after hand scrubbing. Thanks for sharing all your adventures with us!
Marci, I may be doing it wrong, but I don't worry too much about rock crud - the oil is usually dirty enough it doesn't matter that much.
I'm liking the new saw! I'm jealous. Personally, I'd love to see more lapidary videos. I really want to see some thunder eggs being made into cabochons!!! I love your channel. Keep on doin'!!!
I hope u enjoy the new saw, I'd like to see what you do with your clear agates, whether it be tumbled or cut.
Hi Katy and Mr. Did! We follow all of your videos and of all the rockhounding videos out there, I can honestly say, yours are our favorite. Love your new trim saw and would love to see more of what’s inside these smaller ones. We are in Michigan and envy all the agates you find here. You and Mr. Did are funny, down to earth people and I wouldn’t miss an episode of the Katy and Jim Show! 😂. ❤ Gods Blessings!
Thank you!
I would like to learn how you decide where to cut rocks to maximize the potential
Nice new saw you have there. You should invite Jared (Currently Rockhounding) to search the Montana Agates for Iris Agate. I know he would love to find some (as would most of us). Then show us how to polish it to get the Iris to display.
I've been working on getting Jared and Sarah this far east for a couple years - maybe next summer!
Hey Kate! I've consider getting a Covington trim saw but I'm worried about the oil spraying all over my garage. How messy was the saw? I'd love to see a stone go from the being found stage, all the way to a finished piece. Also I have hundreds of beautiful tumbles stone in large bowls about my house. Ideas about what to do with all these stones would be very welcome. Thanks! Keep on doing!
Hi, Jim - it's really not too bad, especially with the cover on it. :)
Id love to see you do more geod hunting with Theo at Bear Canyon ( weather permitting of course )!
I would like to see some of your favourite rocks from your personal collection Katy thank you 😊
Very beautiful cabbing! Would love to see some more cabs of petrified wood and montana agate! 🥰 Congratulations on the new trim saw!
Lynn, I thought you sent your address to my email, but I can't find it. You are the giveaway winner (as I think you know. :) ) Please send your mailing address to katydidrocks@gmail.com. Thanks!
Hi Katy, I sent you my mailing address again hopefully it goes through!! So very excited! ❤Thank you so much
Just received your beautiful cab and book today!! Thankyou 🥰 Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas!
1st off you did a Bob Ross you had a happy accident. You ended up with a cab or even a necklace both good choice. And for a challenge take and slice 1 of your Spencer opals to see if you can get lucky and hit right spot and hit Sparkly opals area. Good luck thanks Ray 😊
Learn so much watching your video's.
Thanks!
Congratulations on your new saw!! And thank you for putting generosity out there:) I enjoy watching your creations and would love to see more. My fingers are crossed, I’d love to have a copy of your book😊
Thanks!
I'm a lil jealous. 😅😊
Love seeing the new saw. Would like to hear about some of your finds after the floods this year. You may already have videos but I’m a new subscriber and haven’t looked back.
Good idea - thanks!
Maybe slice some petrified wood with agate inside and make some pendants or something.
Nice new saw! Would like to hear how you decide which direction to cut rocks.
Thanks for the suggestion! :)
The new saw is great. Pointing out the moving parts was interesting and informative. Thanks. As far as what I would enjoy seeing....most anything you do! I do find the cutting fascination, but so is the rockhounding.....how do I choose??????!!
:) Thanks!
Seeing this saw saved me from buying a hi-tech
