Of course the video is educational, and the opal is gorgeous. However, I FREAKING LOVE your sense of humor! I enjoy watching opal videos of all kinds, but I don't think it would matter what you were videoing... I'd watch just to enjoy you! and your comments!
all a part of the process, i'm 84 years young and have been cuttan polishing opal for about 12 years. I also facet stones. but am still learning. that's what I like about watching you. thank you.
@@PulitzerOpal started when 18 years just cabbing for fun after rock collecting cabs and figures were made to impress young ladies and it grew from ther over the years I'm sure you know how it gets to you, opals ,opals, opals ,Austrailian !!!!
I clicked because I was intrigued by the idea that there was a way to ruin opal. I'm not disappointed to find out all the cuts turned out well, though! Those are beautiful- almost as magical as horsefeathers would be😂
Don well done. Years ago our webmaster Michael Ferguson cut an opal by slicing it "against the grain" as you did I was horrified but boy did I learn something it was the way to cut that Lambina stone. Our clients learnt a lot from that ancient video as the result was marvellous . Thanks for educating so many opal cutters. Keep up the good work. So disappointing that the Government has closed the Lambina opal field. Murray Willis Australian Opal Mines
I seriously enjoy your informative and entertaining videos! You have a way with humour that's very refreshing! Thank you for how much and the quality of what you share!!!!
You did not ruin a thing and you assume your audience here doesn't want to see what you do when actually most of us here are here to actually watch someone at there craft take their time while they create something beautiful. I do love your sense of humor and you ended up with some beautiful stones.
I just adore your videos! I just went and started buying my own stones for myself! I have a new appreciation for opal, we love your jokes!!!! Thank you for your videos!
Thanks for the laughs this morning!! I loved the opal from this stone- the bread slices, with the kind of linear pattern. I have never seen that before. Just beautiful!
The opal was beautiful. I loved the doublet. I always wondered how one was made. I wpuld enjoy a video about how to make doublets and triplets and their respective values vs solid opal.
I'm quite new into the Opal game and I'm still learning. I watch quite a lot of videos on here, but I have to say that I enjoy your videos the most out of all of them. I've happily just sat and watched a load of your videos as I really do find them so interesting... plus you've got one of those relaxing voices too. I suffer with anxiety and find your videos help me to relax while still learning new things and having a giggle along the way 😄
Horsefeathers! you make it look so easy! I've just begun my journey "butchering" opal a few weeks ago. I hope to graduate to shaping and cutting at some point, but I just can't keep my stones from falling into my wax vat.(I heat them on the rim....yes...probably a bad idea) But thank you so much for the informative and whimsical videos. they really get me jazzed to grind and shape 'em.
Impressive, you did not ruin a thing. Love that doublet. Great matching stones for a complete set for jewelry, ring, earrings, necklace, pendant and maybe even a bracelet.
@@PulitzerOpal I knew you were just having fun with the title... I would not mind 4 of those matching slices to finish into matching ovals. Which arm and leg shall I send?
Horse feathers............ I have always loved opals, even more than diamonds. I love watching your videos (they are very relaxing) and learning all about opal cutting. I would LOVE to own a piece of opal that maybe one day I could get custom made into a ring or a pendant and treasure it forever. X
Watch your video for the first time, totally enjoy your humour, me and my family are head up to Lightning Ridge in August fossicking for Opal, I didn’t realise you can cut Opal so Fine you learn something new every day.
Hi I enjoyed your video of what to do with your beautiful opal, but I just wondered would the opal have been worth more as one very large gemstone as apposed to cutting it into smaller pieces
Incredible cutter system (an entire system) you got there. I can't imagine the cost. Money well spent I can see. Great video, I hope my laughing didn't mess anything up. Geaux Saints!
I enjoyed your show. Please consider doing more videos on how to do the dublet technique. Such a technique is of particular interest to me since I'm a simpleton and could only hope to afford such a simple piece of opal. It would be nice to know more about the technique and more importantly what things to look for and what issues to avoid, too.
@@PulitzerOpal I expected so much. How would I find your 2 part videos on how to make doublets? I am somewhat not so very experienced on youtube searching
I like the craftsmanship.. one that I would like to learn; I guess it would be a cosy job to do.. but I do reconise that it is not something you learn over a few weeks of school.. knowlegde and experience walk hand in hand. When I was a kid I found a small quarts stone on a rocky beach, then I did polise it at the camping ground ( they had a small stone polish house for kids at the site ).. got it in a necklase and gave it to my mom. ( she still has it ) thank you for sharing !
Why in the hell have I never heard of this guy obsessed with gemstones and gemstone cutting videos and this dude is hilarious why does he not have a million views on every video and he has one of the most meme-able voices on the planet
Opals have a way of captivating us, and it's easy to get lost in their mesmerizing beauty! 😄 We're glad you enjoyed the opal showcase, even if it had some good side effects. Thanks for being a long-time subscriber and for your continued support! 👍🌈💎😊
@@PulitzerOpal haha, I meant sound effects! I’ve got fat fingers and skinny opals. I need to eventually switch that around. Thank you so much, you deserve millions of long time subscribers.
Watching this channel always re-awakens my desire to learn to make cabochons. Alas, I don't have the space or the equipment right now. Oh horsefeathers.
Wait! Horses have feathers!?!? Like real life feathers!? Wow man!!!! Horsefeathers, who’d have thunk it!? But seriously, you didn’t ruin that at all mate!!!! 😉👌👍 I loved it. You made the most outta every millimetre of that block of party goodness. Cant wait to see the broadleaf set in their final piece!
@@PulitzerOpal it was a joke bcuz you carved out a section with your Dremel tool. And I think you were unsatisfied. I'll have to watch again to make sure. I haven't seen any new video's any insight as to when you might be making one to post. Or possibly do a live feed. Let me know if you have time. I'll keep checking anyway just incase I miss the notification.
@@PulitzerOpal Rebecca Jordan It's very close to Bradley Hand ITC, if you crossed it with Tempus Sans ITC and slanted it backwards. I do like it. It's a fun font. Font Lady
Fabulous video, I’ve been sitting here laughing till the tears run down my checks. Your humour is just epic xx I just love opals, it’s my preferred stone and your doublet is so incredibly beautiful. Lucky lady that has that as a piece of Jewellery
Pulitzer Opal oh Horsefeathers and fiddlesticks! Wasn't that silly of me. I was so careful too. The bell was already rung, the like button smoothed as ever even before I'd watched it as I always do since I'm so confident I'll love it but those darn Horsefeathers almost choked me! Thanks for letting me know 😘
Your videos are informative, therapeutic, and hilarious my good sir. Thank you very much for putting your talents and humour on here for us to enjoy! I know its way past the point of entry but I groomed my cow's horse feathers today and mistakenly plucked one out..ah Horsefeathers!
You, Sir, are a very sneaky man! Do you know how many times I had to rewind this video to read the fine print? I would say upward of eleventeen times, which, undoubtedly, would cause you to exclaim, "HORSEFEATHERS!" But, I stand firm on that count! Another great video - thank you for it!
@@PulitzerOpal - hey! How come the response to my message got a heart from you, but not my main message?? Boy, if I wasn't so unoffended by this, I'd turn you in to the TH-cam whiners forum!

soooo pretty..what else can i say besides of course that i enjoyed your unique brand of humor an am always amazed by how you cut up the opal..
I always really enjoy watching your videos for both the professional advice and the very special sense of humor! ;-) Horsefeathers!

That mineral oil wit is some of the greatest batch of horsefeathers I've heard in quite a while. Nicely done!
You are the best. I now how to watch our video again as I'm giggling through the first viewing. ❤️😆🇨🇦
The doublets turned out beautifully! When I read the title I thought oh no! But glad I watched through to the end. Thanks for sharing!
Beautifull work and most certainly not one piece ruined. Love the pieces with black behind it. Wowzers. Keep up the awsome work
Now, that's infotainment! Great job, great sense of humor!
It's beautiful white opal you have polished it to a excellent colour show
Your not only an artist but alsoi a comedian thanks for sharing.
Hi I enjoyed your video of what to do with your beautiful opal, but I just wondered would the opal have been worth more as one very large gemstone as apposed to cutting it into smaller pieces
Thanks again cobber, great stone and best work. Your professional editing was delightful. Really enjoyed!
Love the sound of the 'breadloaf' cutting. They turned out really quite nice; in a way they reminded me of horsefeathers.
Incredible cutter system (an entire system) you got there. I can't imagine the cost. Money well spent I can see. Great video, I hope my laughing didn't mess anything up. Geaux Saints!
These opals look like horsefeathers (unicorn wings) woooow. It was relaxing watching this. I really enjoyed it :) thank you.
Those slices at the end are amazing. Love the color bars.

@@PulitzerOpal agreed, the world is filled with marveless stones :)
Do you wear a respirator when working your pieces? Or do you trust the water for controlling the silica dust?
I love your dry humor and Horsefeathers
Wow, how beautiful! Your pieces remind me of the horsefeathers of a pegacorn!
OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST!!! Thank you, sir, for a laugh and the education!
Such a beautiful stone. I love watching your work. My husband says I'm like a magpie because I get distracted by shiny things.
Wow! Horsefeathers, you're the best! I love watching your videos...you crack me up
💖you!!! By far the best, most interesting opal guy on TH-cam!
Well done, sir. Even doublets are very nice to save beautiful Opal.
Sweet pieces of bread there
Some of those slices have vibrant purple ~ Fabulous
So glad I found the 2nd part so fast! You are one funny guy!

I always enjoy watching your videos and listening to your humor! Horsefeathers!
Horsefeathers are Beautiful and broadleaf slices are Magnificent !!!
horsefeathers !! turned out even better then i expected! so beautiful!
That's a great looking stack of bread. Wish more people had your sense of humor. 😀
So many beautifull pieces of opal! Great job on the cutting. Also liked the Horsefeathers !
Shelia will be getting jealous of Siri. Welcome to the machine. Would watch 6 hrs.. how about a live stream cutting opals?
I absolutely enjoy your videos, man your something special. Thank you from the Kaz family

That was fun to watch. It’s also interesting how you choose what to cut, carve, or what ever c word goes with the my first two examples.

I love that thin stone on black background, such nice pieces are like horsefeathers..
Pulitzer Opal new ones are amazing to drive.
Isn't it kind of sinful to cut this wonderful rock into pieces? But then, we'd never have seen the true beauty inside. Well done Sir.
