- Hello everyone,
This is a new addition to my Cut, Carve, & Polish Series. "Cuttin' Uglies" where we cut into those less obviously beautiful rocks to see if there's any magic inside. Sometimes yes, and sometimes no but it's a gamble that has to be made if you're as curious as I am.
Now I imagine some of these videos may be less than fantastic because of the subject matter but I do know from past experiences that I've been blown away by what's inside a ugly old rock, so come along as we search for the beauty inside.
Thanks for your time.
Take care.
Fred

A couple of those are pretty cool. If you don't cut them you never know.
Right? Thanks for understanding my desire to cut into them, and also that not every one of them can be great when it's not an obvious agate or something that shows it's potential.
Thanks for the comment 😁
Cutting the rocks we first select as novices is a point i am hoping to achieve but here in uk in spring next year - its only this year whilst watching others that i have collected some rocks that are going to be as random as what you call uglies too - some parts of what is shown on here - we have to go through too and i hope i appreciate each rock ugly or not - they are magic !
I think I'll always have the "Cuttin' Uglies" theme because novice or not I will always grab these unassuming ones.
They are all magical in their own way...even when we'd call it a dud. The thing is with me is that I love being surprised and/or finding the hidden beauty in things.
There's no doubt that we are all impressed with rocks like agates and cutting one open that was looking nice from the start is amazing, as evident by RUclipsrs that cut top shelf rocks, but for me finding something that no one could have expected out of an "ugly" rock is like a lottery win for me.
You could put me in a rich river of gold and tell me that it's rare to find some other mineral, and I'm the fool ignoring the gold for that big win of rarity regardless of value.
It's the thrill of the hunt, the thrill of the unknown.
It's what I love sharing with you all.
Thanks for watching.
Interesting rocks!! But weird is a good thing!! It would be boring if everybody had the same kind.
@@patriciamilholand3585 I agree, and happy to see my viewers understand that and appreciate all rocks for what they are. Thanks
I would make the one with eyes in it into earrings!!! And number 12 was beautiful too. Fun idea for a video. Every time I cut my rocks I never know what I’m gonna get. I love the surprise!!! I liked your video. Do it again
@@Grandmasrockin I like that idea. I've gotten so many good ideas from you all that I need to go back through my comments and start an idea book. I thought I'd remember them and get some done quicker but the ideas are stacking high lately so I don't want to forget any.
Glad you like the idea and I will do it again. Along with a few other Cut, Carve, & Polish ideas I've got lined up.
I really need to get going on all that but I've been busy building a shop extension just for my rockhounding, lapidary, RUclips stuff so that I can bring you videos through all seasons regardless of what the wind and rain say.
@@just-one-more-rock sweet !!! So great to have a (play room) when you have rocks to play with. Lol. I have a whole 2 car garage and a shed to play in but my house is up for sale so won’t have them long. I’m going to live in my motorhome and rockhound the US for a year or two before I buy another house. But bringing one of my saws and polisher along of course. lol
@@Grandmasrockin Wow...what an adventure. That has RUclips content written all over it. If you make it to the Astoria area, let me know. We can go to one of my spots 👍
@@just-one-more-rock Of course I will. Would love to meet you rockhound with you!
@@Grandmasrockin Awesome. I look forward to it. Spring and summer is best but we can find rocks anytime of the year if we need to. There's always a beach near by if the rivers and creeks are flowing too fast.
Good luck with the sale and your adventure.
Couple of them turned out decent. I have a suggestion if you wouldn’t mind. When you’re filming showing them like you did, use a dark/black background instead of the white background. It blows out the colors and makes the rocks hard to see. Your lighting seemed good enough.
@@JnVrockhounding Not too bad. I love the suggestion. I have a black background for my photo box so I'll try that on one of my next ones...but I have another video with a white background still coming because it's done. I use the white background for my eBay items as white leaves a clean look. I personally like the black background. I'll see how it works for filming. Thanks.
