Holy Youtube Milestone! 1,000,000 Channel Views, Thank You Everyone. Channel Update.

[@-CROM-]

Congrats Roy! 🎉🎉 You have come a long way and are an invaluable part of the Opal world. You have shared a lot of great information over the years!! Hopefully some more KZbin milestones are not far off. ❤

[@RoysRocks]

I'm not sure about the invaluable part but I do hope I've helped the opal world grow and learn a little so far.

[@bbisyy4u]

Roy, this is fantastic. What an achievement from starting with a cell phone. I’m not surprised by these numbers. You do a great job making these videos and I appreciate the amount of time you put into them. Congratulations.

[@RoysRocks]

I dont look at the numbers very often so I guess I get shocked when I get something like this in my email.

[@lindasaunders3126]

Congratulations Roy, I always look forward to your videos.

[@RoysRocks]

Thanks. Hopefully another 450+ to come.

[@tianafrancis9827]

Congratulations. The people seem to like good quality content.

[@RoysRocks]

Hopefully I can still make mine better each year then.

[@tonyvandijk4339]

Congrats mate!

[@RoysRocks]

Thanks its been a great journey so far.

[@karencole1623]

I was so happy I found your channel! So that is great news!

[@RoysRocks]

I hope you find some useful tips on the channel.

[@Famo59]

Congratulations on hitting your milestone achievement. Cheers Famo59..👍

[@RoysRocks]

Thanks man. Hope your channel is also going well.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Congratulations, Roy.

[@RoysRocks]

Thanks man.

[@hudmumper]

Awesome! Congratulations and a well deserved milestone! I think this channel is one of the best on YT, and I'm pretty sure that's a common opinion judging by the comments below. Hahaha the old phone cameras, where would we be without them? 😁 Thinking about the number 1 million boggles my mind! It's like, a thousand, but a thousand thousands. 🤯🤯🤯 Hehehe nice. 😄 I hope the path to the next milestone is smooth and everyone here has a blessed week. We all know Roy's Rocks ROCKS!!!💪👏🎉

[@RoysRocks]

1 mil is such a wild number. 1,000,000 times people have loaded a video from the channel... that a lot of time and what is more precious than time?

[@mattsmith6321]

I've been a fan for a long time and I honestly am surprised you only have 8.5k PS. Also happy that I was first to comment!

[@RoysRocks]

Its slow going but I'm happy with it. As long as there are comments I'll keep going.

[@M44411]

good to see you doing well Roy 👍fair play from Britain 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@RoysRocks]

Thanks for the long range comment from the other side of the world!

[@M44411]

its Malcolm Roy, av been here for years m8 all good stuff on your channel 👍 you got me into cutting & polishing on the little dremel & a love it, but not done eney thing in the last year tho, in & out of hospital for high blood pressure 206/119 when a first went in!! it’s coming down now tho with the tablets & eating properly!! its all about the food we put in are bodies Roy stay strong man 🇬🇧🍀👍

[@kenoathiog1156]

Well done Roy!!! It’s a lot of work & a real commitment- I mean I’ve only just started on the carving journey- & just doing the work on stones & the learning process chews up so much time, let alone then having to work in filming, editing, voicing etc. I think your logical, results-based science brain is perfectly suited to getting this done! … & I would certainly not be set up as well or as far in my journey without you & your channel! Wishing you continued strength & success 🎉👏👏👏🏆

[@RoysRocks]

Hopefully you have many gems in your near future. Starting is great because everything is new. The best thing about opal though is its always new because of the variety.

[@EvelynPic]

So well deserved! Congratulations Roy. I came on with the intention of learning to carve. Switched to making jewelry. Unfortunately, I’ve had to give up both. CIDP has slowly taken away the use of my hands for such fine work. I stay for many reasons… I love opal, your videos are so informative, and you’re a wonderful human being. 1,000,000 people have learned from your videos. How awesome is that! P.S. when you start getting the negative comments, you know you have achieved success.

[@RoysRocks]

That is sad to hear. I hope I have many decades of carving and jewelry making to come. I need it or I'll never even consider myself "good" at either. 1,000,000 is a crazy number. Half of that is probably repeat viewers such as yourself so not quite 1M different people but in a few years we might get there...

[@SuperBroncosguy]

I for one thank you for helping me on my opal journey. Couldn't do it without ya. Peace & cheers!

[@RoysRocks]

The best thing I can hear is that a video has helped someone out there. Happy to help.

[@Steve-oy8mq]

Congratulations Roy🎉Well done on reaching a major milestone. Here’s looking forward to many more posts in the years ahead. You cover so many interesting topics, we appreciate the effort and enthusiasm you bring to your channel, and willingness to share your knowledge, experiences and expertise .🎉

[@RoysRocks]

Hopefully some very different topics coming up as well.

[@laurenoreilly4140]

Congratulations on your two major achievements! You deserve them. I love your videos and love listening to your voice😊

[@RoysRocks]

Thanks Lauren, hopefully just the beginning.

[@TheKegtwo]

Congratulations mate, you deserve these milestones. Onwards and upwards.

[@RoysRocks]

Lets see if I can cross a few more milestones over the next few years... 🤘

[@redeyestones3738]

Congrats, mate! You 100% deserve all this, and much more. Keep it up, bro!

[@RoysRocks]

I'll try and keep it up. Still so many improvements could be made.

[@stevenpolack4444]

Good to see you growing man 👍 well deserved. Keep up the good work. I appreciate all the vids, helpful tips and tricks. Wish you the best in future endeavors 🤘10k subs isn't to far away 🎉🎉

[@RoysRocks]

10k possibly in the next year or sooner if I can improve the videos and hit some good topics.

[@jay8353]

Thats awesome Roy. Your channel is what got me into cutting opal and your knowledge just flows from you which is greatly appreciated. Your a good dude with his heart in the right place and you deserve the recognition you get.

[@RoysRocks]

No worries man I am happy to help. Be sure to suggest any topics you need me to cover in the future.

[@charleslatre1436]

🎉🎉that's awesome

[@RoysRocks]

Its wild to see a number like 1,000,000

[@firstlast-mp1dc]

Congratulations Roy. Thanks for the channel.

[@RoysRocks]

No worries, hoping it helps.

[@lisamiller2227]

We are proud of how far you've come and its a privilege to play a small part in it. Can't wait to see what the next year will bring for you. Congratulations 💜

[@RoysRocks]

Lisa you have been more than a small part. I see your name in the comments pretty much in every video for well over 2 years.

[@annakeye]

I am so pleased to see this, Roy. I've always enjoyed your channel and think I subbed back in 2020 or 2021. I just like your easygoing, imformative style. No flash, just straight to the point. So, keep up the good work but also don't forget to take a bit of time out for yourself every now and then.

[@RoysRocks]

Haha I dont think I have had a day off since before starting this channel. Thats what retirement is for 💪

[@nancycurtis7315]

Congratulations Roy. Well done. I know, of all people, how very much you have achieved in your life. May it be even better for you, in the future. 😊❤

[@RoysRocks]

Life does feel like it is flattening out now but hopefully more to achieve in the years to come.

[@stevenhoover9294]

Love you channel Roy as they are very practical in approach. Looking forward to you having 20000 subscribers. Steven Hoover

[@RoysRocks]

Might be possible in another 5 years if I make some improvements.

[@bf2nwn2]

Yay, what an achievement! I love your content, keep them coming :)

[@RoysRocks]

I'll keep working away. I need to get some big project done for the channel.

[@victoryoneable]

Congratulations! Your videos are authentic and informative. I'm sure tha,t if you keep going the way you are, at some point when you don't even notice it, you'll be getting hundreds of people subscribing every day.

[@RoysRocks]

Man hundreds a day... I wouldn't be able to keep up with the comments!

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

You've put in a lot of hard work. Great job, brother.

[@RoysRocks]

Its a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Plus I'd be at least doing the carving part anyway with or without recording.

[@mackie_p]

congrats mate!!! Thank yoouu!!!

[@RoysRocks]

No worries at all. I've I can help people I'll always try.

[@StephenKnight-ly6pz]

Congratulations Roy 🎊 I just started the same way with my mobile would love for to get back to me with some tips. Thanks from the opal knight 😀

[@RoysRocks]

Hey man, I just checked out a couple videos, I think your mobile phone is much better than what mine was. I'd consider getting a different light (like a high CRI bi-colour LED panel). It'll help show off the opals much more without upgrading the camera.

[@StephenKnight-ly6pz]

@@RoysRocks thanks Roy 😊 🙏

[@jeffholmes1362]

A video for 1M views a great way to get people to watch and get more views 😂😂😂. You do a great job Roy and you deserve all the recognition, love the channel, been on the journey a long time and still love it. I can’t afford all the best opal now days, but at least I get to watch 😄

[@RoysRocks]

Haha update videos dont tend to get many views just those that really follow the channel tend to check it out but every 1 view is one step closer to 2M

[@AlabamaUSA1234]

😂 I'm loading my first real KZbin video right now.... Everything is up in the air right now.. I will be asking for advice 😂

[@RoysRocks]

Oh cool. First one is by far the hardest.
