WHAT'S INSIDE THIS ROCK? Find, slice and cab rocks from the Yellowstone River

[@judyherman5470]

Absolutely love watching the whole process from start to finish. Please do more of these. Thank you for sharing.

[@KatyDidRocks]

I'm so glad! I hope to do more slab and cab videos over the winter, as I have MAAAANY rocks to cut. :D

He is a perfectionist. :)

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Wow! Beautiful work! It must take so much patience from start to finish, makes me appreciate hand crafted jewelry. 👍👍👍

[@KatyDidRocks]

It definitely does take patience. I'm thankful I have Jim to step in and do the cabbing. :)

[@patsbeads]

Loved the video. My hubby has been so good to me. Got me the saws I needed and I got a cab king for my birthday too. It has been fun watching your video.. I have been working on cabs too. It is so much fun.. I am not as good as .Jim at it yet.. but hopefully soon. I like to do wire wrapping and some very simple jewelry so far.. but I love it.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Fantastic! Jim is a natural - he just is very fussy by nature, so won't move on to the next wheel until he is absolutely satisfied.

[@timcarver5492]

That was fun, thank you for sharing.

Wow thoes are very nice and beautiful 🙂

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@songbirdscreations-MargaretS]

You guys are an awesome team! Love watching others find, cut and cab rocks! Please get Jim to wear a mask while cabbing though. I know you aren't getting that much dust since you have a steady drip of water, but breathing in any rock dust is bad. You want him to continue his lovely work for a long time!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you, Margaret. :) I'll pass your message on - but the reading I've done about the CabKing doesn't recommend masks, as the dust is captured by the water. I would be more worried about the basement dust, tbh! O.O You are 100% right, silicosis is no joke. We do have a HEPA air filter going when not filming.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Also, I passed your message on to Jim, and he says thank you, and he will remember a mask next time.

[@Bizz420]

Congrats on your cabking!!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you so much! I am pretty excited that Jim now has something he actually enjoys that we can work together on. :)

This is going to be great

[@KatyDidRocks]

I hope so! :)

[@jonathanenck3814]

Love seeing you and Jim keep getting further and further into transforming the beauty created in the earth into shapes and forms that display that beauty. I do have to say I envy you the slab saw right now. I've got a large piece (like toddler head sized) of something in the microcrystalline family, and don't currently have a means of getting into it in a controlled fashion. There is just something about taking a hammer and chisel to a stone that my sensibilities don't like. I think that's the sculptor in me wanting to keep the shapes as large and useful as possible for creating.

[@KatyDidRocks]

I wonder if the local rock club might have a large saw? I agree about the chisel and hammer - I always cringe when I see rocks that have been split open. Thanks for joining us. :)

[@jonathanenck3814]

@@KatyDidRocks so my friend and I are looking into it. Unfortunately Covid has thrown all the clubs into turmoil for now. But we’ll keep pressing forward.

He is a math teacher. He also worked for several years as an auto mechanic. I imagine engineering would have been a good fit for him. 😊

[@alczek]

I really enjoy your videos. I'm just a beginner and being retired I have time as long as my AMD allows. You mention a diamond paste, can you tell more.

[@KatyDidRocks]

I don't actually know too much about it - it came with the CabKing. But my understanding is that it's essentially diamond powder in some kind of paste.

Beautiful stones and pieces that you made with them. Didn’t you say you had an Etsy store page ? If so, can you send it to me please

Thanks for making this video. Your husband is pretty good at cabbing. What brand is the slab saw that your dad made from a kit?

As far as I know, the saw doesn't have an actual brand. I do know that he painted it that awful orange because that's the paint they had at the farm store. :D

How do you remove the finished cab from the super glued Dop stick? I see others use wax and then freeze it but I would love to use superglue... thanks in advanced - a newbie from BC Canada.

Hi! SuperGlue seems pretty easy to remove. Try freezing it, pop it off, then just using an Exacto knife to remove any extra glue stuff. It seems to work pretty well. :)

[@mawi1172]

I must be missing something here. Why strive to find rocks you can see light through, and put them on a plate covering the whole back so no light can shine through?

[@KatyDidRocks]

I don't think you're missing anything. Most Montana agates look better mounted with an open back - we just are developing our lapidary talents, so we went with what we had. :)

[@thomasmorrow8629]

Great video, Shouldn't you be worried about rock and diamond dust while grinding. Wearing and mask and eye protection will protect your lungs and eyes from particulates that are airborne with the grinding process.

[@KatyDidRocks]

You are correct. Although rock dust is kept to a minimum because of the constant flow of water, eye and lung protection is recommended. Thanks for the reminder.
