I BOUGHT A SLAB SAW!!! Slabbing a Pile of Rocks, Including a PURPLE MT Agate, Iris Agates, & More!!!
In this one, we celebrate, because in my possession is a tool I have wanted for as long as I have been into rocks: A SLAB SAW!!! I decided to grab a pile of random agates to break in the new machine, and the results were fantastic! Densely mossy Montana Agates, botryoidal agatized coral, fortification agates, two iris agates that will be phenomenal after a polish, an amazingly unique piece of agatized wood, but the most rare discovery of all was a Montana Agate with PURPLE banding!!!! It was so much fun finally getting to get into my bigger stones, and what an incredible way to end the day on! I hope you all enjoy this one, and definitely look forward to more slabbing videos coming very soon!! I hope you all enjoy, and I will see you next time!

That agatized wood is SiiiiiCK! Congrats on little drogon! Excited to see you cut your amazing finds! 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩

That agatised wood has blown me away. I have never seen anything like it in all my years. That must be very rare. Exciting!
The pet wood was everything 😍😍
Holy smokes. That petrified wood is absolutely bonkers. Seriously amazing slabs
The agitized wood is phenomenal!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Amazing! Some of those agates are stupendous!
That agatized wood has got me drooling! I would 💯 purchase a piece of that if you were selling. I would love to have a pendant made from it. Congrats on the new saw. Can't wait to see more cuts!
Great cutting video, Theo! Congratulations on your new saw. ❤️
I'd have to say that the purple Montana agate and fossilized petrified wood are my favorite! They're all very beautiful!
Welcome to the rock saw club!
Wow, these rocks turned out beautifully!
Great new toy! The pet wood and that last agate were amazing!
I was in total awe of the agatized wood, but that purple agate takes the cake! It is phenomenal! Congratulations on your slab saw!
Congrats on your new slab saw! I must say, that was the most satisfying cutting video I have EVER seen. I loved the blue/purple moss agate, then the (coolest) agatized wood with little stained glass agate windows inside!! Wow! So much fun. We know how long it takes to cut those too and you didn't make us wait to get to the good stuff. Thanks!
WOW!! You can do all things now without waiting. Looking forward to all the new adventures in 2023.
Congratulations on the new toy man! Super sweet first cuts! Love that pet wood!
Congratulations on the saw and those crazy rocks. Blue and purple, oh my. Awesome wood too.
Yay you got a saw!!! No stopping you now you found amazing stuff and we don't have to wait anymore to slab!! Love the agatised wood and the purple and iris!! I'm drooling 🤣😂🤣
Congrats on the new saw! That purple agate and the petrified wood were awesome! I really liked the purple one! Thanks for sharing!
Those are all so gorgeous! That pet wood…🤯🤯🤯
Wow…purple! Fabulous saw…I am so glad you have it…you deserve it. All your videos are fun and informative. Thank you so much. Solstice has passed and the days are getting longer.
Whoo hoo! Welcome to the shop son if grogon. So happy you will be able to make cutting videos. Yeah...!!! Awesome purple!!!
Ooo! I’d love a slice of that purple gorgeousness!!
Wow, Theo!! That is all such incredible material!! Thank you for sharing!
MT Moss Agate was insane man! 🔥
Wow. Just wow! On that petrified wood. So unique and beautiful!
Getting a slab saw of your own is always great. Now you can cut slabs all year long. Eventually, you will have so many slabs you will have to high-grade out the "lesser" ones. I've been cutting slabs for years now and keep high-grading all the time. I guesstimate I've got around 5,000 slabs and I keep cutting more all the time. Like you showed in your video today, seeing what's inside them is like opening a present every time! I hope you get years of enjoyment out of that little saw and let me know when you catch up to me on the slabs. ;-)
Incredible cuts. Congrats on the new saw.
Congratulations on the slab saw! So fun to see you get to use it! Such beautiful slabs! And that purple agate totally awesome!
Congrats on acquiring Son of Drogon👍🏼👏🏼🥰Looking forward to your future cuttings! You are so Talented- Love your work🥰💁🏻♥️👏🏼✌🏼

Wow that wood is amazing and the purple agate. Well and all of them!! Oh and congrats on the saw
Congratulations on the new saw, one step ahead👌👍😁
Oh so jealous! I can’t wait to buy one myself!!
Woohoo Drogonson's first noms
Cool you get to cut what you get to hunt for. Looks like fun too. The pet woot with all little agate would have been interesting to see if the depth would show cut at slight angle. I really enjoy your videos.
The first Montana agate looks like there is a ghost hiding in it, so pretty
The Montana agate is my favourite
That Agatized wood is way cool!!!!! I'd LOVE TO OWN THE PURPLE AGATE, AND THE PET WOOD!!!!@
Congratulations Theo! So happy for you! And beautiful cuts, my favs were same, that pet wood was crazy! And the purple montana agate 🤩
You do 'happy' very well young feller!
* WOW ~ your first cut looks like Crazy Lace Agate.. So glad you don't have to travel to friends to visit their saws.. Now you can visit them while you Rockhound.. Hooray!! ~ At the 8:34 mark, the agate also has purple.. Love that color..
Congrats on the new family member 🤣. Excellent cuts❤ I really love seeing what is inside
Beautimus❣️My favorite was piece #4 but the Agatized Coral was super cool too
Very good saw, glad to see you got that one rather than some other brands. One change you may want to consider doing, the plywood wood faces for the grips on the vice, that is not original to the saw. You might want to consider replacing those with something like birch, a wood that is softer so the stone can be dug into the wood to help hold it better. If you do this, treat the wood as a consumable item and replace as needed. Also you might want to make some wedge shape pieces of wood of different lengths different thicknesses so you can help support the rocks better in the saw. For the remaining chunk of rock, get some pieces of 4x4, cut down to blocks and get some liquid glass, the. Glue the remaining rock onto the wood, cure for 24 hours, mount the block of wood in the vice and continue cutting. Put in a bucket of water for a day to release the last slab. Gorilla wood glue also works. Have fun cutting!!!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous! Stuff.
You have a “Drogan-ette” PURPLE!!!!! Be still thy heart
Congratulations on your new saw, it is Awesome! You picked some really amazing ones to cut for your first time using it also. Only one dud out of all of those incredible agates, thunder egg, agatized coral and petrified wood, that is pretty mind blowing! Agatized petrified wood, blue and purple agates definitely tie for favorite with me. Fantastic cutting video with your new saw, looking forward to more. Thanks for sharing Theo!✌️🤠🤘
Amazing prices you cut. I love the purple one and the one with all the stuff in it. Wood one too.🤪😛🙃
Wow! Have fun with that! Had to say which one I liked best...they are all beautiful 😍 ❤
All of those are just wonderful.
Yeah!!!! What fun!!! Had some plans today but after watching this my plans have changed. Have a need to cut rock all of a sudden. This rock thing is addictive and a universal language, I don't believe I've ever met someone who could look at a specimen and not be entranced by the beauty and wonder. Built in to human experience are stone's, and knowing their properties was quite important. Deeply seeded ingrained memories at a genetic level me thinks. Have a good time Theo
Love love all of them, but mostly that you have the new saw, yeah!
So much beauty! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻💫💜
Beautiful agates.
Hello Drogon junior
Finally! A baby Drogon, no excuses not to cut rocks anymore. Saved the best for last, that purple banded agate and the petrified wood are amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with those.
Amazing first cuts
Gotta love Conk that eats out the wood cell centers and lets them be replaced with agate or best for a single place: Precious Opals.
Dude I need a saw like that! I got so many big rocks that I gotta cut.
Great investment! You can be the friend who can cut rocks and move furniture! If you only drove a truck! Too bad I'm up over hill past where the river heads east!
You should make a pendant with that petrified wood; Slab with grain for stripe pattern!
The rocks didn't look large until you put your hand next to the first row. Great way to show us the size perspective! Excited for you. Congratulations.
So happy for you, and a little jealous! I want a saw soooo bad!
Oh My Gosh!!! I’m so excited and happy for you!! The stones are absolutely amazing. Even the ones that you say aren’t as good.LoL. The one that had the little bit of moss, would look like a tree if you cut it right.🤔😁. Anyway, wonderful stuff. Definitely looking forward to more videos. Have a blessed day ✌️💜😃
Theo, l have seen, and have, quite a bit of petwood, some Palm. NEVER have l seen anything like that. STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. I am partial to Palm as it is our state rock. (Texas). Thank you
Oh my Lord what a beauty now Montana rock mom’s gonna have to come over and try out your saw Gonna say it look like a dragon it’s the son of Drogon oh 🤩
Wonderful!!
Wow!!!
You never fail to impress. That pet wood with *every* cell agatized must be some kind of record. Unbelievable. ❤️🏏🎸
I'm so happy for you, but I'll miss the hangout session with Rock Mom
Ooooh nice! We are so tempted to get one of those next. We found a large purple banded agate in Southern Utah a couple of months ago. It's a yard rock since it's too big to cut! Have fun with your new toy. 😊
Im so happy that u get ur "saw of ur dream" I would say i like most the petrofied wood and next best for me is the slab u called dall.that reminds me of a plant what grows( here in finland),in the lake shores💕 Thx for the great video again👍(🌷this is for Alexa)
Do some of your Dryhead agates!!! 😁😁
What a nice slab saw! That is so cool. Drogon Jr! I just watched Michigan Rocks video. He had an issue with his slab saw and may need to replace the blade and definitely the belt. It got shredded. The moral to the story is don’t run your saw unattended!
Love that petrified wood.
YES!!! Dude I have good news too! Kyle is freaking awesome that is all I can say… dude this is awesome so stoked you got a big saw! 2023 is going to rock! The geode looks like Missouri but there’s no geodes like that at Haunted Ridge they’re not far away though about a 1 to 3 hour drive depending where exactly it came from. Dude so stoked for this spring
The agatized wood looks likes a computer chip.🌞🙏💗
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!
