Hi Kate, tickled about the new saw!!🤗😁. YAY!!!

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!

Great new saw. Nice cat, too. I’d like to see more videos rockhounding out of state and/or with Theo Kellison. 😊

Nice Kate! I would love to see more of you creating the things you create. You are so artistic! 🤩

Love the new saw! Would love to see other items you create!

Congratulations on your new saw! I enjoy your videos. Love it when you show from finding to finishing.

I think one of my favorites Is when and Jim rock hunt together, the chemistry and laughs, I enjoy that!
