I might start a YouTube channel Right!? I got more goofy random rock tumbling shenanigans up my sleeve, just need to get the camera out. I mean, just the other night I dumped out 4 buckets of rough on the floor. I was rockhounding at the river in my garage at 11pm. There's some time lapse content right there. I could be a talking hands channel, like AvE and ToT... (Baby steps)

Those are some helpful suggestions! Thanks for all the channels. I’ll add one I didn’t see listed. She’s got some fun ones to watch and has a quirky personality that my kids think is silly. Not sure if she’s on this forum or not but her “name” is agate Ariel. youtube.com/channel/UCZ726PsnKFVy5et1_NoV4_A

I discovered the channel Black Opal Direct a few weeks ago and was mesmerized by the stone and craft www.youtube.com/user/blackopaldirectCuts and polishes opal, especially black opal. Tried posting this earlier but it seems to have disappeared. Probably didn't hit the correct button

Montana Rock Mom, www.youtube.com/@montanarockmom, could be added to the previously mentioned Yellowstone crew. She finds outstanding specimens, primarily on the Yellowstone River, and often has cutting and educational videos.

Nice list vance, I enjoy watching all of those too. Haven't seen Jaws Jr yet. Fussellino1 www.youtube.com/@fussellino1This channel is a video catalogue of someone's mineral collection, they continue to upload specimens daily. I like it because they're constant and sometimes upload mineral specimens from my state. Lopacki Stone and Metal www.youtube.com/@lopackistoneandmetal3955I actually haven't watched this channel yet but I just became aware of Daniel Lopacki's work today. Looks like the few videos he has up are about making beads. Check out the galleries on his website tho, this guy is a master. www.lopacki.com/lopacki/art/index.htmlI'm excited to watch because his work is exceptional and he's been in the game for decades so he has a ton of wisdom and skill. Old Rockhound www.youtube.com/channel/UCQf-USJ9Q6FDnqgu1l-NXAQ/videosI believe this is the channel of a user here, berfle . Has three instructional videos on stone intarsia and I like intarsia.

A recent youtube channel I have been watching is "Gemology for Schmucks" Peter Nelson presents information about the many aspects about gem stones in an entertaining manner (at least to me) and recently has started faceting using a handpiece via JustinKPrimm.

I found a second channel belonging to Daniel, this one is current. He's still making tutorials and beads and I think it's one of the best channels out there for lapidary. Very rare to see such an old, talented artist active online. www.youtube.com/@daniellopacki6585
