    I love watching people talk about their passions. It’s always so much more interesting😄

    Cut, cut, cut. Nothing better than to be the first person to see the inner beauty. I noticed you pushing pretty hard. That will eventuallyake your hands tired and wear out the blade prematurely. I still find myself doing it. I try to slow down. It will take longer but not as tiring. Love the new saw. Try to stay dry.😊
  • @nathans.3751
    Three suggestions. 1. The longer your rock is the greater the chance of binding your blade if you are hand guiding it. The same for the height. 2. Use a simple gravity siphon to get the sludge out of the well below the blade. Agitate the water with one hand while you are siphoning. 3. Dry your blade with a paper towel at the end of the session.

    That last one was totally the best. It's like looking into a pond with vegetation growing in it. Wild.
  • @saundraschaefer
    That last one was gorgeous! And the tiny little gem pocket on it was cute too! 😊
  • @largent45
    Congratulations again on the new saw! And those were some awesome cuts! Rogue really sent you some awesome material! Have so much fun discovering the hidden beauty inside rocks!

    There's no time to notice water dripping over the feeling of excitement!

    Beautiful rock cutting lady bringing the rock cutting joy. Couldn't be happier right now.
  • @happy_bubble7
    That jasper is GORGEOUS! It's nice to see someone else get excited for the natural world around us.
  • Oh My Gosh! I just found you! I saw one of your vids on Google; I'm ecstatic. I LOVE rocks, and the rocks I just saw you cut open are beyond beautiful. I did sub so that I can follow you on utube. Thank you, Ariel; let's get cutting...❤😊
  • I use a wet saw daily . I've got several and change the water if the pump stops working or I move to another job site. Don't worry if you leave the water it won't hurt anything. Never got a address to send you some rocks from Mississippi. I find putting my saw in a kiddy pool saved a ton of mess

    I have a 6” funnel and I got a 3ft +or - adequate length to fit the tip nicely and drain into a 5 gallon. Pull the plug and no mess to drain. I also have a 1-2 gallon shop vac to remove the sludge. I generally scrape out as much of the sludge as I can then the vac. The vacuum is handy for spills over rags. Love your videos 👍🏻
  • Love your channel and so happy to see that you now have a saw. Nice job... nice rocks ... and can't wait to see future videos.
  • @kendramanuel1276
    Congrats on the new saw! 👍😃 WoW!! Stunning 😍! The last one made me think of islands 🏝️. I’m looking forward to seeing more cuttings. And even possibly tumbling from the smaller pieces. I would love to get a piece from you.
  • @CacklingChick
    Awesome video! Stunning rocks and slabs! The new camera quality looks great, too! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
  • @HetaliaAmore
    I really need one of these. I have a couple tubs full of big geodes I've love to slab up eventually. I'd just be afraid of cutting my finger off lol. Saws scare me. I've been enjoying tumbling smaller rocks, but I diffidently need something like this for my bigger ones. These are all so pretty btw!
