Soapstone: Can Be a Great Resource For Self Reliance 

I have searched for so long for this concise and extremely valuable information. I bought a cleverly carved soapstone sculpture seven years ago. I need this for heat storage. I can't thank you enough!

I live off grid in NW Pennsylvania. I’ve just purchased an old Amish soapstone bed warmer for those cold nights when the wood stove burns down. Thank you for putting together such an informative video

Good video. I've been fascinated with soapstone since I was a little girl. I knew the Native Americans ( some of my heritage) used it to cook on. I use to hunt for it. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.

First time here. Hello from space coast Florida 🙏👍💞

I've been interested in soapstone for several years. Both for carving and for more practical things, such as warming the bed.

i had seen that “drop hot rock into water to boil method” The carving aspects are interesting and makes me want to get my hands on some

Very interesting video.

That was really cool info. Thank you. I love in PA and I'm going to try to find some. Thank you 👍👍

Great info

Such great info!! Thank you!!

all i knew about soapstone was carving (into statues) and on wood stoves....i learned a ton of new stuff , i actually have some of those whiskey stones and never thought about what they are actually made of, you so smart!....thanks!

Truly a very versatile stone and l didnt know anything abou this, thanks for the information Anthony.

Thanks for reminding me about soapstone! I've always wanted a soapstone stove, but hadn't thought about simple cladding,etc. Hmmm, never thought about it, but it'd make a good heat sink for a greenhouse... good stuff, Anthony!

Great video. Looks like you have many good stuff on your channel. New subscriber. 👍🏼

I grew up using soapstone for metal work, marking cut lines and such.

Informative thanks bro

Nice!

I didn't know about carving soapstone, knew it was soft and should have put two and two together on that one. Very interesting and it gives me some neat ideas for some other uses for it. Hmm.... Thanks for the mention. My river rock exploding video was fun to make (not to edit though - LOL).

Great informational video, very cool , I learned something new , thanks for sharing, stay safe, God bless !

Thank you , Anthony. Great video on Soapstone. Still praying, hard. Sorry about Aug 20. Please be careful.

Well this is awesome, Pretty cool information.

👍🏼 💚

👍👍

👍 ah, very cool info!! Thanks bringing up the river rock issue👍 to clarify it’s water retention in rocks AND CONCRETE DO EXPLODE

Soapstone probably won't leave the balls all dry, empty and sad... I like the idea of using it as a mold to cast shot for the old cap and ball... And whiskey chilling,uhh huh...yeppers On a side note I just broke off a piece of cheddar cheese shaped like a tomahawk..just wanted to share that..i showed Dog and he acted all interested but I know that devil, he has alterior motives Great info and Godspeed and safety to you and yours my friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

here in sweden almost all fireplaces have a soapstone cladding....alot of it heavy af.🤪

I’m living in a wood cabin I have a wood stove but gotta get up multiple times a night too stock wood you think I could just put some on top of the stove and save some time and money?

Learned something new!!! Good stuff!!

Found this one again cause of Unc Al

You can buy wood heaters make with soapstone the work better than ones that are just iron/steel. The Inuit would use the soapstone to make a lamp/heater which was fuel usually by seal oil. which came from seal fat with turns into liquid in the mouth of a person (I know this from personal experience - I spent a couple of yrs in the arctic). As a little side note while I was working up there an old aircraft mechanic/pilot told a story of a Inuit man who made for him a oil pan for his planes motor from soapstone and didn't measure a thing just by looking at and feeling the pan. He swore that the bolt holes line up.(call me a fool but I believed the story - I seen some amazing art work)

What a really cool vid Bro, I like history, so this was a no brainer, watch that lead poisoning bro, use a lot of ventilation. An this whole time I thought we only used soapstone in stick form for marking steel for welding an cutting it, thx for the vid Bro.

Hi Anthony, thanks a lot. How did you drill a hole for a stick in the soapstone? just a simple electric drill?

Interesting video, no soap stone by me however, thanks glaciers.

Would this work to keep a green house warm durring the winter months?

Cool about being a boiling rock.

Here we have a grey stone that is soft, not sure if its a type of soap stone, long time ago I made rings and trinkets out of marble, I also was very good at making ancient style mosaics ,medallions and listelos...Thats where the mosaicmaster name comes from.

A plethora of information you have! 😂 SF!
