In this one, we head over to hang out with fellow Montana rockhound and RU-vidr Montana Rock Mom and cut some of our amazing rocks! I selected some very nice Bear Canyon agates, Montana agates, agatized wood, jasper-agates, and a thunder egg to cut open, and I could not be happier with our results! We had such a blast in this one and I hope you all enjoy! Once my blade arrives, there is going to be a WHOOOLE lot more slabbing to come on my channel so look forward to that!

Theo I love this video! Boy did we have a blast. I have to do one more big shout out though....to your sweetheart of many years...Alexis!!! Seriously, what a gal. She put up with us all night analyzing, evaluating, discussing, planning and just plain old non-stop talking about rocks, rocks, rocks! She so pleasantly entertained me showing her likely a hundred different rocks. We laughed, made ice cream sundaes and played with the pups.. She is always supportive of your rockhounding and joins you quite often on your adventures, what a gal. If you're a die hard rockhound, you know how important having someone like this can be. Alexis, you are Theo's "ROCK" and you get nothing but love from this Montana Rock Mom!

Kimberly, you are 100% right - Alexis is always supportive of Theo's efforts. Go Go Rock Spouses!

That was fun to watch slabs being sliced, the pup, the lights behind the slabs...however for me the best is that people are still respectful in real life. Your joys were engaging and made me happy to watch you all!

Absolutely! Rockhounds seem to be cut from a different cloth😄 such nice people! I feel fortunate to be a member of such an amazing community!

That was so cool!! Loved the agate slab with the blue band on the bottom, also the gorgeous Jasper, and petrified wood slabs, that was so fun!!!

Thank you!😄 i tries to pick some good ones to cut for our first time doing big slabs; there's going to be a whooole lot more to come👍

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Seriously! That saw is something on my bucket list now😂 it cuts so smoothly compared to the scar marks my tile saw makes; it's going to make polishing SOOOO much faster

@EDLaw-wo5it 3 года назад

I have several rocks to cut. Some real beautiful agates. BTW, we are expecting 8 inches of blowing snow in the next 3 days. wind chills to -29 and not above 10 degrees for a week. Now, y'all need to keep that kind of weather. We Okies are not accustomed to that. We only get an inch or two on a very few years . Oh well, such is life. My 10-inch tile saw does not do justice to pretty rocks. It leaves them with some saw marks. But poor people have poor ways lol. Y'all havagudun. Thanks, Rock Mom for letting us in.

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Yeah our win finally arrived as well unfortunately. I knew our 50 degree days couldn't last all winter; a few feet of snow and averaging -19°😅 hard to believe that weather showed up two days after it was 60°. really can't seem to make up its mind this year

@newyorkrockheads8995 3 года назад

The video reminds me how the Rockhound Community is. I think the collaboration between fellow Rockhounders is amazing. MRM how great was it to welcome Theo in and let him use the slab saw. I am so proud to be a part of this great community of people. Oh and by the way...great video..I wish it was longer.Two of my favorite Rockhounds.

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

@thomasjones1778 3 года назад

BRAVO!!! You guys and your videos have convinced me and a couple friends of mine to take advantage of a buddies trailer house in Four corners for 2021. Stimulus checks pay for the extra expenses of having to haul home truck loads of rocks, and there will be truck loads going home. I figure by the end of summer we should have a few Tonnes (literally) of stones back home and ready for slabbing. But the next few weeks will be the real test of our abilities, you know before the snow melt.......And while the water is high, time wont be wasted cause we will just slab slab slab in Four corners everything we find up til then. But we better move fast cause I hear their is a few other crews planning the same thing and before you know it we will be elbow to elbow on that river. Im already preparing for 2022, 2023, 2024 etc etc. and cant wait. Your videos have been the inspiration of our planning and thank you SO MUCH telling us where to go and how special of a place you had their. Man, those thumbs up must be worth their weight in gold.

@gemstonejudy5900 Год назад

That second half, of the first rock, has a perfect wolf face on it!😍

@stellabelikiewicz1523 3 года назад

Oh man, a saw like that is absolutely on my list of probably unachievable life goals! It’s got to be such a great feeling to see what’s inside of these rocks you’ve found and fallen in love with!

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Absolutely! A saw of that magnitude is absolutely outside of my price range so i am very fortunate that MRM, being as generous as she is, invited me to come up and cut whenever i want to. I habe a lot of rocks to big to cut myself that can finally get some work done. Thanks so much for watching!😄

@michaelvandyke6715 3 года назад

Excellent video and material.... You two made a great video with all those cuts..... I have cut into the crystal plates on many rocks, it's worth a try...

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Thank you Michael!😄 that pocket of smoky amethyst goes so much deeper than what is exposed, i think i may have to do another cut to show it better👍

@marlamorey5914 3 года назад

Theo, that was extremely generous of MRM to cut all those for you; you are so lucky! There are some awesome slabs in the group. I think I might see an offspring of Drogon in your shop sometime in the future, :-).

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

VERY near future!😄 my blade should be here very soon, so we are going to be doing a WHOOOOLE lot of slabbing as soon as it arrives😄

@betojdesigns 3 года назад

How fun! I’m jealous, because I too only have the 7” wet tile saw that you have with the 1-1/2” cutting ability. Makes it easy to accumulate rocks that have to wait for another day. Would love to get something more accommodating.

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Absolutely! I am so fortunate that i was able to get my hands on a 12" drop saw(thanks to kate), but i will very likely continue to use my tile saw as a trim saw! It's one very reliable little machine; of course not being able to cut bigger stuff definitely gets frustrating. The beauty is that whenever you finally get to upgrade, you have a surplus of material to cut!😄

@haynerbass 3 года назад

Get yourself a pile of 1/4" slabs, some lead caning and make yourself a really cool stained glass window.

@kittygreenleaf427 3 года назад

Wow, Theo. Another great video! Maybe it's just me, but the first rock that was cut. The bigger half you held in your right hand looked like a wolf's face to me. 😁🥴

@markattardo 3 года назад

Wow, very cool! I was surprised to see the blade on Drogon, I thought slab saw blades were much thinner and not segmented. Some orange box stores rent "paver saws" that use a 14" blade that looks very similar. Clamping the rock would probably be very sketchy

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

I was as well actually! I thought all slab saws used continuous rim blades🤷

@markattardo 3 года назад

@@TheoKellison After thinking about it more, there may be a limit to how large a thin blade could be. From my extremely limited tile cutting experience, continuous rim blades are used for glass and mirrors. Porcelain and granite can be done with a different style non continuous rim blades. The style on Drogon is common for concrete blocks, bricks, pavers and asphalt. Now I'm wondering if there's a difference in diamond grit on all those blades....😂

P.S. Dont worry if you font have a slab saw cause we will be bringing our very own 18 and 24" saw, not to mention our trim saw, cab machine and tumblers!!! Im so thankful for COVID for allowing us the free money and time to be able to do this. THANKS COVID!!!!

@stefanw5894 3 года назад

There is Nothing like slabbing on a big saw. I did (and still do) the tile saw route for years. This spring I finally saved up for a 14" slab saw and it is amazing. All those rocks that I set aside for all those years are now ready to revel their secrets.

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

It is not on this one! That's why i made the comment that it is backwards; the clamp system on her saw is for some reason lefty tighty, righty loosey. Not entirely sure why🤷
