A wood splitting video, my best splitting axe

My first video was the laser beam axe, never stopped watching since then

[@featherfurandfun3806]

Hey Buckin, I grew up in Moose Heights north of Quesnel. My Dad built the house with his brother when he was 26. He worked in the bush and brought home Doug Fir to heat the house in the winter. As a teenager, I loved splitting firewood when it was -30 celsius or colder. The wood just popped apart. Even with the cold temps I'd be down to a T-shirt from working hard (I didn't have the sleeves cut off like you though brother) Splitting wood was the best thing for a teenager and now at 52 years old its still good for the soul. Be at peace you all.

[@2-MuleTeam]

"We got axes that are here for business . . . now." Hilarious. Love it.

[@Anolbea]

I love old steel. Most of my favorite billhooks I use for fencing work in the UK are at least 100 yrs old. They hold an edge,easy to sharpen and work hard all day long. They are underappreciated pieces of working history from a time almost every town had a different take on the perfect billhook.Good video thx..

I can't say how much I enjoy these splitting videos. They're the best. I've run out of wood to split at my house so I'm going to put out flyers in the post for free chopping services because I can't get enough!

[@shapeshifter7753]

That’s great! I bet there is a ton of older folks that would really enjoy your services 👍

You single handedly made me want to start "restoring" axes and hatchets, been a carpenter for over 23 yrs and this is right up my alley. I'm now on my 8th axe and I'm hooked, thank you for the inspiration friend

[@Chitching]

Hey friend, you still into restoring axes?

[@pilkpulk8284]

hi buckin,how are you? Today i finisht restoring my father's ax, wich left me 2018. A nice little choppingaxe we had with us for camping. I will use it for my campfirewood. Thanks for you inspiration, lets make this world a good place for everyone! cant wait for the next sunday life feed, bro.

[@jirusjirus9322]

Aaaaah... Drinking an ice cold beverage and watching a professional, enthusiast chop wood with a flick and a clunk. Doesn't get any better than that. Can't wait for my next wood pile to chop. Will have a whole new perspective on the blades and compare while accurately looking at the profile. Thanks for showing the knot.

[@kylejay6128]

Nothing like relaxing on the couch in the evening, and popping on a Buckin' clip and learning a thing or two. You already know you're an inspiration, but I'll say it again you deserve it.

Great content today, Mr. B.! A vicarious thrill to see you systematically work your way thru the yard full of rounds and reduce them to firewood. I’m too beat up, @74 and 22 years of Rugby in the rear view, to get out myself and emulate, but it sure is fun to watch! Love ya, yer attitude & message are an inspiration every day for all us older codgers. Newbies, welcome and stay tuned, this here’s a special place! Do somebody a favor, pass it on/pay it forward, and never forget that LOVE WINS😁👍❤️❗️ Everytime!

[@dannydirty_life_and_times8916]

After a couple of weeks of watching Buckin Billy I’ve already re hung two axes, it always feels great to work with your hands when you have the chance too!

[@MrCarltonv]

Thnx for the instructions Buckin'. Just moved to the bush and just getting started in the firewood world. Good to know how to do it the right way from the start.

[@Sonix180D]

If you haven't already made one could you please make a video describing the different types of axe heads? I know the difference between a cutting and splitting head but when I hear Michigan and such I'm completely lost. I love you power of positivity message and it's why I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the videos, I've learned a lot from them.

Hey Buckin, funny story for ya. I’ve been wanting a couple vintage powersaws since I started watching your videos - namely a MAC 10-10 and a Homelite XL76. Well yesterday I finally found a sweet Mac 10-10, runs beautifully. Today my co-worker asks me if I want another old powersaw, brings it over and it’s an XL76 that runs like a top! And I been grinning like an idiot for two days now haha

I can relate I'm addicted now😂 in 3 months I now have 20 power saws😬 my most recent being the pro mac 10 10 and xl 130 both in immaculate shape and cheap, and just rippers!! Also 2 of the best sounding saws ever made. Oh yeah.... just bought an Ole husky hickory axe today!! @BuckinBillyRaySmith

Well, I'm 63 and short. my splitter broke so now I have to do hand splitting. I have a Friskar x270. Question ? What kind of ax would you recommend for someone like me. Again, Thank you so much for all that I've learned from you! Still learning.God Bless, with many Blessings your way.

I'm glad you finally gave us what we have been wanting---------for you to throw the ax at us. Thank You-----Stay safe.

[@williamlathrop7642]

Never thought much about different axe heads and handles. I guess because I was splitting wood a different way. I can see the advantages of the various ones you've shared. I have only one ax and it does very little, in the way of flying through wood. My ax is a thinking ax. Every time I use it, I think, why did I buy this. It must of came with A gym membership. And a water bottle. Maybe its servers as my therapy. Or as a shopping list starting with advil. I'll be looking for other styles in the future.

[@MrJunk78]

Would be to cool to see you have your customers (like Bryan) have a swing with those restored beauties. Teach them your technique and what not. You make it looks so "easy". Contrasting that with someone less experienced would be interesting to see. I'm still new to your excellent channel though. So maybe you've done that a bunch already and I missed it. Keep up the great work, regardless.

[@2-MuleTeam]

Matthew, this guy can split and he can work! I'm older than him. My dad (depression era rural farmer) taught me to swing an axe and a hammer, but I grew up in the city. So because of experience I am by most measures an amateur. Lots of guys here can split well. I'm the perfect person to put out there next to him. And I submit that 50% of his efficiency is "aim". When he puts that second blow into his first entry point and he is within a 1/16", that is axemanship. See that on every swing? Dead on, not to mention he puts high energy into those swings which is deceiving.

[@MrJunk78]

@@2-MuleTeam Of course. I wasn't suggesting he couldn't. Simply used him as an example. My next door neighbor is 81 and splits circles around me!
