Fantastic work!!! That looks so good!! What an awesome idea for a geological map! Id LOVE to see more of these! Wonderful work and thank you so much for being a part of the challenge!!!😄
Thank you! I think it would be fun to do a cabochon shaped like each state with a rock from each state...maybe that'll be a future project!
Great video, and great idea. Coming up with original ideas is hard for me.
Thank you! Sometimes it is for me too, but I've done enough geo-mapping in real life that this felt like the natural choice. I love seeing the projects you do come with and can't wait to see your Makers Challenge video!
Hi ya'll what a cool thing to build. That was great. Much better than paper. Keep the fun ideas coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
VERY GOOD JOB MAKING A GEOLOGY MAP WITH LOCAL ROCKS. SO AMAZING, THANKS FOR SHARING & DOING CHALLENGE.
Hello Krista the makers challenge brought me to you, and I'm so grateful, this was truly inspiring, what a cool idea 👌
Yessssss… Queeeeeeen! What a behemoth of a challenge you set yourself!!! It would take geology knowledge, lapidary prowess, creative approach and a whole bunch of tenacity to overcome the extra challenges faced during the creation; and holy heck you showed ALLLLLLLLLL of that and then some! You seriously rock! Just so rad! It’s awesome! Legit awesome!!!!! I’m starting to worry haha! I am but a padawan!!!!!
Holy what!? I’m so sorry! I wasn’t subscribed! I AM NOW! I thought I was 🤦♂️ Im so sorry!!!!
Thank you! It was definitely a challenge, but the obstacles along the way made it even more rewarding in the end. I can't wait to see your project!
Looks great! What a unique idea - so cool. I love it! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea! I love the fact that you took advantage of the period materials! Great fortitude!!!! You rock kiddo!
Stumbled across your channel this morning. Really enjoying the geological part as well as the cutting/polishing part. I've not cut my first stone yet and you are inspiring ideas within me. Hope you are still doing great work.
Wonderful great job thank you for sharing your amazing work on the map 🗺 well done
Katie 🇦🇺
So awesome. Thanks for sharing.
What a spectacular idea! Just love the idea of a map made out of the rocks from the regions it represents. Brilliant! Congrats on the new machine, that looks like a ton of fun and what a great tool to help out with the challenge! Watching you glue...I totally felt that when you got some on you. Oh the sacrifices we make for making! It turned out awesome, fabulous skills, hope you've got a very special place to hang that! Cheers!
Incredible amount of work you put into rock geology map. I just love it, great idea.
What an awesome project idea! I love the space between your wheels - it seems to give a lot more flexibility when polishing.
talk about technical ! literally a jigsaw puzzle and getting the actual stones for each ! you picked a complicated one for sure, and pulled it off ! got to love the art / science mix of it . you clearly know your stuff and got your area mapped out in more ways than one . nice work !
Great idea! I love to see what people can come up with when they push their boundaries. Very creative.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: First time visiting your channel. Impressive idea and workmanship. Nice lapidary setup 👌 👍.
A wonderful piece of abstract art, all that hard work was worth it. A new subscriber from the UK 👍💞💞💞💞
Very cool! I made a Hawaiian Islands map out of beach sand and love the idea of using local rocks to create a real world geologic map. Excellent job!
Definitely a challenging project, Wow! A live geological map, it turned out Amazing, love it! 🤩 such a cool idea😊❤️
that looked like it was a lot of fun! way to power through the setbacks. awesome project Krista!
Thank you! It was definitely a fun project, and working through the challenges makes it even more rewarding in the end!
I absolutely loved this idea!!! How am I just barely finding your channel?! Awesome job!
It's a great idea. My dad started his in the mid-60s and worked on it for a couple of decades. He used opal triplets for all the capitals.
What a ambitious project ❣️❣️❣️
I would not have the patience to achieve such a big project.
Looks awesome ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you! There were definitely some points where my patience ran thin but I'm glad I stuck it out
Brilliant and creative!
Very cool idea! Turned out great!!
Very creative and beautiful ✌️
Fantastic idea! Looks great!
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while! way cool!
Wow what an excellent idea! Very cool project with great execution. Well done👏
I'm a buckeye (living in Vegas now 😎) and I LOVE this! What a great and creative idea! I'm subscribing because I need to see more! 🥰🥰
Fantastic xx i love it xx
This is a really cool idea! I'd love to see another version without a deadline so you could work on it longer
Love the geological map concept...what a cool reprisentation ...maybe warm your rocks before trying to hot glue them tho...best wishes..cool vid.
Great idea, I search KY for agates and geodes and was planning a state map with county cut outs from slabs. Then, I could see how many different counties I could find material from and fill out the state.
Awesome project! You must have the patience of a saint! I would have given up before i started! But you can tell it was a labor of love and well worth it! It turned out very nice! awesome job! Cool idea!
Thank you, there were definitely a few times where I wanted to walk away in frustration especially when that one piece broke, but I'm glad I stuck it out
What a great idea. Very cool
This was great! I'm originally from Ohio, but I live in Georgia now! So beautiful! I also subscribed to your channel!
fantastic!!!
That is a really neat idea! One state down....49 to go :)
Well...48...because you can't take rock from Hawaii :) haha
Oh gosh, I think most of the states have too complicated geology to make a whole set. I'm lucky I live in a relatively simply state geologically speaking lol. Maybe single-rock cabachons shaped like each state instead...
Very cool! You did an amazing job.Thank you or sharing this with all of us!✌️🤠
Great job
Awesome idea! Obviously some states would be super difficult to do because of the crazy geology they have. I’m looking at you Utah lol.
Very cool that was a great idea I live in Michigan and I want to come to Ohio to get some of that flint I love that stuff very cool
It's definitely worth the trip down to get some, Ohio flint is 🔥🔥🔥
oops! guess im a bit early.😂
Enjoyed watching and LOVED the concept. Suggestion, and not just this video, I see this all too often with UA-camrs...filler music way TOO loud. End up having to mute and miss narratives.
Great project! 🙌
Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing yours!
