Beautiful agate...👍💎
Thanks for watching 👍
Ok sir... 👍👍👍
😊
yes I am present 👍
I love the fact that you can appreciate and see the absolute beauty in your finds. It's kinda sad to see some of the folks that have been doing this for years lose their enthusiasm.
Yeah that’s sad but everyone is different, I just love how each one is 100% unique so it’s like a refresh button every time lol
I loved the third cut on the first cut very pretty, too!!!
Thanks for the beautiful agates, Tom really enjoyed the reveals.❤
I’m glad!
Taylor, I can appreciate that even if they are sort of duds, you can still find the beauty in them! Your pure joy is palpable!😊❤
Taylor i feel your excitement, after cutting rocks, the wonderful colors and designs are absolutely Godley ! Thank you ! Got Rock's
Thanks!!
This is a textbook case of "you can't judge a book by its cover". Kind of ordinary on their outsides hiding wondrous beauty within. Really nice! Thanks for sharing. (Nice music, too. Very relaxing.)
EXACTLY!! So happy you enjoyed it!
All BEAUTIFUL!!! Love your slide show at the end!!! Thanks!!!
Beautiful! The host rocks had some beautiful colors that set off the agate within. Thanks!
I agree 👌
Hi again TAYLOR
Treasures inside! You just never know what you'll find. Much like a Christmas present and you can hardly wait to open it! Your close up pics are terrific! Thx for sharing and enjoying all of the steps to the great reveals...
It is like Christmas! So fun seeint the internal beauty!!
It's crazy what's hiding inside some of those stones. Love watching for the surprises
Thanks for sharing. Nothing better than rockin. Stay safe and healthy 😷⚒
Thanks and you too!
You cracked me up with the trimming the grass in the pot with scissors 🤣
Glad someone enjoyed it ☺
Looks good!!! Some of those slabs resemble meteor cuts!!✅👍🏻
Interesting!
It’s like treasure bonus. I love this.
Ohhhh yeahhh!
Those are all gorgeous!! None of them were disappointing!!!
So glad they weren't!
You must get alot of pretty things to sit on your desk!! Lol
The sliced host rock is just as pretty!
Seriously!
10:02 this rock, rocks them all. That cream color.❤️❤️
We just came back from Grand Marais MI and collected bunch of rocks. We don't know yet what we've got, hopefully will cut them this week. I really enjoy watching your videos and I learn a lot from you, like, even if it's ugly out there, if it looks interesting it's worth taking it with you and see what you've got inside ! Love it. Thank you again so much for your videos.
They are beautiful! Best part was the seagull, though!!
Hahaha glad someone enjoyed it!
Wow wow wow Taylor... almost better than finding the agates by themselves is finding them still in their host Rock. Those are amazing!
They ended up being very cool! Gotta find more :)
They are all just beautiful inside. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to share!
These Agate- and Quartzpockets and Veins creates super beautiful patterns in the host rock👌😁👍
They're so awesome!
I have saw envy. Beautiful cuts. Thanks.
They turned out nice! Thanks 😊
I absolutely loved this video! It took me back to my childhood when my Grandpa would give my cousin and I a hammer and let us go break open rocks out of his driveway. The only rules we had were to put the hammer up when we were finished and to throw all the rock pieces back on the driveway. Just to let you know how hard that was for me, we were in central Arkansas!
I love seeing what’s inside! Thanks Taylor! 😊
So happy you did 😊
Enjoy your cutting videos. Very inspiring
Love stones😃💜
Ditto ❤
Hey, yet another very cool video!! This is exactly why we mentioned your channel on our latest video, Rockhounding the Greenwater! I absolutely love your channel!!
Oh gosh thank you!!!!
I'm so addicted to these cutting videos
You’re going to love Fridays video 🤘🤘
Excellent! Enjoyed the surprise
Gkad you enjoyed ☺
Wow man, great finds! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching 👍
Very beautiful specimens 👌❤️
A really nice collection. Even the ones without banding still look cool👍
Absolutely!
I wasn't sure that cutting them open was gonna be as awesome as they were! Besides the amazing bands and quartzy goodness, all the other colors and patterns inside the rocks are so cool! Very interesting video! Loved it bud! I'm gonna use your video to help me cut open some of my rocks in the future. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad they turned out lol I was hoping it work out! Glad I could help!
Absolutly beautifull Rocks...
Thanks 👍
i can wait for tommarow
Hello, I'm Kimpd from Korea.
It's really nice to see you inside when you cut the stone.
It's fantastic.
It's beautiful.
I'm gonna have to challenge myself with my stone.
Good luck
🤘🤘
They rock 👍 Love it
They sure do!
So much beauty inside those beautiful rocks!
Beautiful for sure!
👍👍
Nothing like a saw to reveal a rock's inner beauty. Good job Taylor! Keep the cutting videos coming!
Thank you Paul!
I love everyone of them
Me too :)
I totally enjoy your show. Many thanks
Thanks!
I love these, so much!!!
Just gorgeous!
😊👍
Stunning!!!
😊
Enjoyed this. Rock on!
🤘
Yes yes, man I was gonna time stamp the ones I loved, but they just got better haha! I really like what you did with the one at around 13:00 nicely done dude.
All of em, just pieces of art from nature dude. You done good brother, made me wanna do some cutting ✨👊🐺
I just need to set up my polishing system and I'll be able to complete them 👍
Those would make such a pretty map
Map?
I love the reveals; they're like a gift! You don't know what you have until you open (cut) it. Thanks Taylor! Fantastic video! 🤗😍
Exactly! Thanks so much 😊
Hey rockfather, nice cutting eh! Cant wait to see the polishing. Have you seen my set up? Inspired abit by rookie, but when funds are short.... luv your work. Say hi to the family 💓😁
I have seen it, looks AWESOME!!
I just discovered your channel. I love rocks and it's so suspenseful watching you cut them so we can see the beautiful patterns inside. I also find watching this channel very relaxing.
What do you look for when collecting your rocks? Do you look for the white on plain rocks for quartz? Trying to learn this stuff, watching a lot of your videos, and reading books. Awesome collection!
I'm usually looking for things that stick out from the common rocks. Like agates, fossils, amethyst, etc.. it takes some time but its fun!
Thanks for the cutting video. Always love the reveals! Beautiful!
Thanks!
I watched this with my 4-year-old son, and he was 1) super frightened that you were going to slip and cut through your fingers and 2) really eager for me to try my hand at cutting some agates. When I told him that I didn't have a rock cutting saw, he said that since you live in Duluth, and we live in Duluth, we could just go to your house and use yours. (Probably the best time we've had watching a UA-cam video together.)
Hahaha I love kids, that's what I look forward to with my boys! It would be fun to do a "meet up" and cut peoples rocks for them lol not a bad idea
Very cool. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching 👍
Wow!! Two of the stones u cut had Skip-a-atom qartz 😳 quite rare
Absolutely 😁
Very nice stones. Great video
Thanks 🤘
Was this one of your first videos? I like how you share what we see on the inside now! I think your videos are fun to watch and I think you've come a long way!
Awesome rocks!
Right?!
Amazing what it can be inside of a rock ! Niiice!
I love seeing what’s in side the rocks. When I pick rock piles. I find lots of big rocks that are broken in half. Great video!!
Thanks, it is really fun!
I cut the most ordinary rock … and surprise beautiful inside! Nice and quarts I’m thinking 🤔
Great video my friend 👍
Thanks friend!
Awesome video, thanks 👍🏼
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it 🙏
oh and damn nice cuts I had no idea there are rocks with agates in the middle I probably passed over a bunch of them. A mini light sabre to bring in nature to cut rocks on site would be sweet eh.
Oh thats the dream!!!!
I like cutting rocks , did some last year . Notice you used a brick to clean your saw blade. Sometimes I'll run across an old brick in the creeks, and pick them up just for that purpose. TY..
Good idea!!
So beautiful
Thanks Donna!
Those are nice dude!! I love the ones where the host rock wraps around the mineralized pocket. Your basalt has so much going on in it. Love the cutting videos! Please keep doing them....and often!
I'm trying my man! I love seeing whats inside it, such a treat when its got amazing character!
Beautiful material man! Makes me appreciate the complexity of the basalt too, with those red-weathered phenocrysts... Great pictures as always dude! Loved it!
You gotta tell me more about phenocrysts!
@@AgateDad They are the visible components of a porphyry. Usually silicates like feldspar or olivine.
Shweeeeet! Why can't you move down here and we go rockhounding all the time?!
Are these from your new secret source? They are so pretty and interesting. At 8:40, and the next, just WoW! Are those chives, or a Chia pet?
Yesss! They're pretty awesome 👌
Its just grass btw
Thank you for taking the time to show us your cutting videos, I love them. I get inspired every time I watch. 😃
Oh thank you, im glad to share the experience, its so fun!
I loved them all....
Really cool bands. Maybe cut a little more of the matrix off so you can have more agate than matrix. You could cut it to make a stand type thing.
For sure!
Love seeing the inside and the beauty the comes out! Thank you for sharing!
Happy to share! Thanks for watching!
Thats really cool.🙂👍☕
Thanks!
Nice It’s like Christmas every time you cut a rock open. I love it! you never know what you’re going to get... wait isn’t that like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates 🍫 LOL nice job agate dad!
Haha exactly! Well said!!
it was so much fun watching you cut these! You have made me excited to get back up North and try to find some of these myself!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! Good luck when you do!
Awesome video man, all so beautiful. I’m going to start cutting some of my fluorites I recently found. Thanks for the video man
Can't wait to see!
I would love to watch your polishing techniques for flat cuts
I'll be sure to show it when I get a system set up 👍
Hi, I'm soooo glad I found your channel!!! I love watching you find and cut the rocks. Best part is finding the surprise inside!!! You're inspiring me to try cutting some of my rocks!!! Take care!!!
So happy to be of service!!!
Nice 💕👍🏼
Thanks!
Those were amazing! Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks Margie!
very cool
Thanks 😊
What kind of polishing system are you looking for? For larger pieces I would suggest a vibrating table.
I have a few ideas in my head that I'm going to keep secret for now, but thats a good suggestion, ill look into it!
The third one looks like a Valentine's Heart after you cut it.
Some of those look a lot like Skip an Atoms!
My thoughts too 😊
Now unless i'm mistaken, that constant stream of water makes it so the saw blade doesn't friction-heat into a 1000 degree knife
Basically lol!
That was amazing. Brought some home myself. And another ubsion begins. Lol
Thanks!! I cant wait to go get more 👍🤘🤿🥶
Ahh. Gota love the corny Dad jokes. 😂❤
I just got a tile saw myself and grabbed a bunch of rocks over the weekend. So interesting seeing what is inside. wish i knew more about how they formed. But i love seeing what you find inside. So what do you plan to do with those pieces now that you have cut them? Display? Pile in a box? Make something out of them?
I think it would be fun to polish them Nd then display them somehow
👍
No brasil tem muitas dessas pedras
Almost forgot the tri-cut oops squeal was hilarious! Your so human and I love it!lol and woke up my husband... lol
Hahah! My squeal woke him or you did?!
I woke him...ummm I think..
Haha too funny!
Oi Agat Dad
Muito bom seu conteudo e as pedras.
Beautful video my friend. Wow...From Brasil
🤘
جميل ورائع جدا يا صديقي
😊
The first one of the second group, the left piece, has a pattern that seem a dinosaur done by a child... 😁
Tayler I’m surprised no one form one of these gabber companies has reached out to ya ? I saw another rock hound and they received a slant gabber from Hi Tech and I’m sure it was free cause the company can use that as advertisement. You should contact some of these places and get hooked up .
Good idea! It would be nice to get some legit lapidary equipment
