The last one could be described as "Devil's Playground" if ya ask me, lol😆 Lots of pretty rocks.
What beach was this ? 🎉
I am surprised that you have such lovely hands. No scrapes or cuts.
The design looks like large parasites
Helping people, teaching, is the most rewarding part of any hobby

Oh I see, you're using wet pads. The ones I have are wet/dry and dont have the sponge built in to hold water. Sorry for all the comments, I'm learning here.
Ask as many questions as you want!
Is it just a wet towel you set the workpiece on?
It was dry when i started. Got wet fast
How to lose parts of your fingers pushing a rock thru a table saw, when you could use a pusher tool instead.
Rock saws are different than table saws-you don't slice a finger if you touch it.
I wont lose a finger. Here is why: kzread.infoqf8abF5eVbU?si=LK7-hRt8ATPOzrIW
Tons and tons of this where I live
Do you live in Labrador?
My wife also brought home 3 large chunks of rainbow feldspar , white, green, purple, and shades of each swirled throughout. It's beautiful. I slabbed it but thats as far as I'm going until I sharpen my polishing skills.
Wife and I went to an Avett Brothers concert a few weeks ago. We got some unreal picture jasper from the landscaping. If I had to guess, they still have roughly 2.6 billion stones left and I haven't heard that the soil has eroded away yet. There was literally 1000's of people and arena employees everywhere and not a single person even looked our way wondering why we were making a small pile of rocks off to the side 🤣
Awesome. I'm just getting into this stuff. Having a bit of a difficult time lol.
Do you get your final polish with the 3k alone or do you use a polishing compound as well ? I'm struggling with this , not sure I'm spending enough time with each step, I'm not quite sure what to look for to tell me it's time to move to the next grit.
For this one i stopped at 3k. But i normally take them to 50k on the polishing wheels.
Can you use 50 for shaping? Is there a reason you use 80 ?
You can use 50
Tons of this Iberville Shale where I live. I just tried to polish some today. I need more practice.
I love the comment section ❤️
Entertainment at its finest!
Even though the inside may be nice and beautiful, it still breaks my heart to see that poor stone split in half. Dude don't do that.
Gotta see whats inside!
@@RockhoundingLife Yeah I was like "Wow that will be a nice pocketstone", and then it was cut in half. Almost got me a heart-attack. 😂
What people thought you were stealing a rock? Thats just silly.😅
I'm not one of the ones to get mad about you taking a rock but I also find it nice you replaced the rocks you took! Those are some beautiful pendants!
Thank you!
Looks like ellensburg blue
Yes and the holly blue!
Just sad.
??
Beautiful work, thanks. So much beauty in 'an old rock'. Rocks are the evidence and guardians of our history

Very beautiful, thank you for showing from raw rock to polished pendant 🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊
That last piece would make an excellent worry stone. You do great work !!
Thank you! Cheers!
An oval is a favorite shape. This video is a dream come true for me. Looking for rocks in parking lots is a great pastime. Making jewelry is also a creative hobby. Enjoyable video. Great young man!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful rock
Yuck music matched to stunning work.
Since i dont talk during the music you can mute it. Everyones happy!
@@RockhoundingLife yup, that's what I did.😉
You both should be put behind bars! How dare you steal a rock! Hey everyone, shut the hell up and just enjoy the video and admire that gentleman’s knowledge of rocks! Out of thousands of rocks he can spot one that is something! I think you are incredible, and your son!! Just don’t announce where you are to find these gems. Some people are just Debbie downers! Have fun❤️🙏☮️ meanwhile, I’m going to Dairy Queen for a blizzard! And you know what? I think I will take a rock while I’m there!
Haha!
Yes I look for rocks every where and take them home if they feel right
Stunning
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful work! Man what a shine!
Thanks!!
Never heard of someone getting mad about you stealing landscaping rock. Ive stolen landscaping rock directly in front of homeowners and they all just laugh and tell you they hope its a good one. I think everyone has done this. In any glacial basin area, its probably the cheapest part of the landscaping. They probably paid some guy more to spread it around than they paid for the rocks themselves. If you went around asking farmers to haul off their rock piles... You could probably build a whole house for free in under a couple months! Rocks are what we've got up here. So many rocks.
Oh I totally called it. I said to my husband “oh if he takes a rock there will be people crying and whining in the comment” Not 2 minutes later you said it. I find their kind of hall monitor behavior distasteful at best. I pick up cool rocks a lot. Not buckets full but if I find a cool one or 2 it’s mine and I don’t care what anyone thinks 👊🏼 I understand you have to keep the whiners at bay I’m sorry.
Almost looks like it should be called ghost agate
DQ was probably like “Are you seriously asking if you can take two rocks?” 😂 Companies have yearly budgets for everything including landscaping. It’s not that expensive to buy a load and have it delivered. To placate everyone making a big issue of it (I’m thinking they’re not gen X’ers cuz we know life’s too short to make issues out of little things) you might drive around with a box of rocks. Then when you see one you like in a parking lot (or wherever) you can switch it out. Course then you might be accused of favoritism 🤭
Did you ever facet some gems with this? Did you try Stephen's "Angry Turtle" upgrade kit? Eagerly awaiting the follow-up!
Coming soon!
Did people really give you a hard time for taking a piece of gravel out of a garden. God a hate people.
Cool, our dairy queen and everyone else in northwest, Ohio has plain dull grey and tan rocks.Almost no color to be found anywhere.Worked in an old factory recently found lots of need rocks in their grass covered landscape rocks so it can be done.
Yes, just depends on what rocks are abundant in the area.
What saw blade do you recommend?
Any blade rated for granite or porcalain
Dude here in cleveland all are landscape rocks are amazing stones AND most are shaped into stone tools from up to 12,000 years ago.
Despite the fractures it is gorgeous
this is saphire? You blind? Or we all fools?
A very nice job !
Awesome cab! Most of the places around here have some type of sandstone or a plain gray rock around them! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I hope you showed Dairy Queen this pretty pendant that you made from that ‘plain’ rock. Who knows maybe you’ll get a commission to create a pendant for them
I also am hoping he took that gem back to show it off!
Hi, i am from Pakistan i like beautiful rocks but i dont know much about the expencive rock and negats so i liked your vidio and kindly make a vidio about the expencive rocks or negats, that how i can find it and what is necesary to know it, thanks (A,wahab)
What kind of glue do you used to make your pendance.
Lapidary grade CA
I could do without the music though.
Turn the volume down?
You sound so bitter about having to ask. Ultimately someone paid to place those rocks there. They are property of someone, and just like you shouldn't take someone's lawn chair or or grass: you shouldn't take rocks without at least an equivalent exchange.
I offered. They said no need. People like you will always find something to complain about. You should flip the script in your life and make an effort to be positive instead of so being so negative all the time.
What complaint? Don't steal the rocks the dairy queen bought for landscaping. They weren't free.
@@RockhoundingLife What complaint. DQ paid to buy those rocks. They paid to ship them to location. They paid to distribute them around the property. I'm glad they gave you rock(s), but you're not entitled to their rocks; that's stealing, and I'm glad social media is able to stop (future) theft of other people's landscaping and impart a good lesson to your son.
Thanks for your input Karen 🤦🏻♂️
That is the most frivolous thing a person could worry about 🤣. I will forever help myself to a couple of landscape rocks with less than zero guilt, to match the level of give a shit the owners have
