@@BuckinBillyRaySmith wow, you're an example of how people should treat each other. Be good humans and I'm praying I can score one of your tasmanian axes

[@kevinc.8869]

I up clicked merely for the mouth organ intro! Need to make that part of the show every time, so 😎 and totally uplifted my spirits.

[@krisgabrielson4020]

You are a different kind of guy ... I love your channel.

[@TheGuitarRoom]

Duuuuude. What a great harmonica player you are!!! I love your feel. I used to play at church with harmonica player John Popper. You are fabulous and have wonderful feel. I love your videos. I’m a lifetime axe junkie as well.

[@spencermcginty9812]

Sometimes when you sit down and actually think about the different tricks you do and it can be hard to explain. I think it would be hard for anyone to not be appreciative of all the things you have shared with us that are truly helpful and beneficial! Love to you and the family buckin❤️

[@CJ-sx7lt]

Fearfully and wonderfully made!!!!!‘love ya Breda still spreading kindness like it’s butter on hot biscuits!!!!!!‘so gratefully for the Most High God lead me to your channel! thank you again for being you. Who is amazing!!!!

[@jonas2431]

Hes got a wood pile that would last a southeast Texas family many years. The way he chops wood it's pure art

[@MickyDee67]

Love your 'flick' method. You have this correct in every way. I'm trying to teach my boy that last minute flick which does the job and makes it so much easier if only people could catch on to the strike. ' Backing off' from the sides rather than going straight through the middle is also something some don't get. They'd cut there work rate in half if they could learn both. Thanks buddy. Hope you are fit and healthy and stay that way.

[@Riflechair]

Hi Buckin! I'm a new subscriber and 30 year BC Forest Technologist vet. I love anything wood related! Just acquired a forested 40 acre property with a remote cabin and will be doing some road building and a few patch cuts over the next few years as I move into retirement. MAPLE LEAF UP

[@teejay2726]

Thanks. You have thought this old man, so many new ways to handle axes. And life. Love you young man.

tee jay you humility is inspiring be nice ta shake yer hand one day thx pal

[@cinnamontoast9999]

This makes me smile, love the enthusiasm and energy, good father figure/role model

[@nancybrown8026]

Buckin', you arguing with your bench buddy Little Buckin' is seriously funny, and that doll won! I treated some of my various tool handles today with your fave Watco oil, and I love the finish. Thanks!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

not bad eh Nanc

[@jimkiley686]

I have watched many many Buckin videos. Do not recall ever seeing on pertaining to air cleaners on power saws. Keep em coming. Jim

[@rodanielsut]

Your relationship with the little guy in the bunker is priceless.

[@scottymcnotty]

That hit on the back of the axe head is the best thing I ever learnt from my old man. Loving your vids from over in New Zealand mate.

[@gregmerckx8557]

This dude is entertaining for sure. Seems like a good and genuine guy. His technique and knowledge is the best I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot but this dude is heads and heels above even me! Lol. Although his technique is stellar, my favorite part about this video is when he starts splitting in the Incredible Hulk David Banner era shirt. Love that. Lol. Stay golden pony boy.

[@jamesmoore768]

Thanks Buckin Billy Ray. You right God don’t make any mistakes! God Bless You and all of Your Family! 👍❤️ This old World needs God more than ever! Love You and Your Family Buckin!👍❤️

[@johneaton1781]

Good morning mr buckin thank you for all the positive vibes you put out there and much love to you and your family and friends stay strong and stay safe from jethro

[@JUSJAK]

Mannnn youre are so awesome sir. im a new viewer and by god its a pleasure to have this channel , Billy youre awesome man stay awesome and lets spread some love in this world , Jack form the UK

[@jirusjirus9322]

Shi-claang.... The other day i musta said that about 50 times, had a little chuckle each time. Thanks Billy for your hard work and friendly humor. The Buckin army of kindness grows with careful small steps of hard work. Be safe, be kind, love wins.

[@datbotdaddy]

As a Tasmanian I love my axe currently splitting a big gum tree 6 foot at the base and it does not split easy strait grain but it’s tight. Love your stuff man

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

love to you good sir ,, thx for being here

[@mattheweklund319]

Go buckin go!!! Nice harmonica playing, thanks for the videos and sharing your life.

[@richardmoll5618]

Any episode where buckin pulls out his harmonica, it gonna be a good episode. Billy Buckin, you inspired me to take up the harmonica, still in my first week but already improved.

[@kens.3729]

We know it’s going to be a Great Video when the Harmonica begins the Video. It was Glorious! 👍

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx Kenny your activity here is always positive , and it does not go unnoticed ,, thx friend ,, sincerely

[@jbbolts]

huge thank you man ... just for being who you are

[@billybm0]

Thank you for the wonderful videos. Little buckin is cool lol. No one makes axes with as much heart as you. If everyone could find something they genuinely want to put their heart and attention into I think we would have a lot more soldiers of kindness. Troubles lead even the wisest folks astray and we need something to pull us back. That something is love. Love of family, love of your work, love of your hobbies and friends.

[@SirGlockALott]

LMFAO, So Cool my Friend, totally awesome and great advice!!

[@Roqjoru]

I did a revisit on your vid, I always pick up more info. I noted your body mechanics and I noted we actually do the same. I too start horizontal ax(e) go up come straight down and flick "outboard". I found that with twisted juniper the double bit and "slimmer geometry" follow the grain to split the wood. My son in law used a hammer wedge but I prefer the ax(e).

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

Thanks Buckin great to see ya brother. That's a dandy Tazzie another great one for the collection. Hello to the newcomers and everyone in this Army of love. Stand up and Buck it does a body good.love it brother.🌲❤🌲✊

You have taught me so much over the years. I always miss the live streams, but you have made me a better axe man through your adventures.

[@deej7783]

Just hot a new house and have been cutting up some tress. I need an ax for splitting and boy watching you makes me feel very Unequipped. Hahabbaba great videos brother. Love you passion ❤️

[@SupermanBB]

Buckin is a straight up beauty. One of the seven wonders of the world

[@vineshsingh222]

Hi Billy Ray, I have started to split fire wood for my home and I was looking on U tube on how to split wood plus using a chainsaw than I found your channel which has helped me out a lot. Thank you very much for your knowledge, experience and expertise. Keep making videos 😁 Thank you Vinesh Singh Australia

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

When I was a kid my Dad taught me do that flick thing you do to open up a piece a bit more on the strike. He probably learned it from one of the old hands at the family's float logging camp. I've never really been satisfied with a leather collar on the axe handle and tape doesn't quite do the trick either, but that paracord looks promising. Thanks for sharing that.

[@Roqjoru]

Thanks for the 550 cord under the ax head. On the ax handle you "cannot hammer" consider holding the handle vertical and cut the bottom of the handle to be flat with the floor/ ground or place it flat and tap the top. A pity they used screws on the ax head when they could have used wood shavings small wedges around any slight gaps to eliminate "gaps". One thing I learn to teach juniors and a "wild ax" ricochet place a shorter chopping roll (safety, mod from Crazy Russian Channel) in front of target chopping block, if ax skips or missed the shorter wood catches it. Glad I finally solved it. Your Figure 8- mine mod comes down and I "flick" my wrist to the right. Keeping my swings consistent, with the "flick" that will follow the grain pattern of the wood.

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Mmm Mmm Love Them Tazzy's ! Hay Every-1 Have A Swell Day. Prayers For Bo Bo & Family, ATB T God Bless

[@tome.joyner887]

That figure eight reverse flick is insane....I couldn't get my arms untwisted after I tried it Billy Ray!

[@reesestalion833]

Love the Chanel keep up the good work buckin

[@gray666machine]

I Love your work Buckin. That Aussie axe really came up beautiful mate.

[@irrelevantswine3697]

The figure of eight thing you talked about, i have done ever since i was around 13 splitting logs in the garden, its great for those who cant use full strength to get a good swing in, it can also be combined with a good flick for a mean split

[@Backlaketroutin]

Great video of my favourite pattern of axe! Right on my friend

[@jetobey5656]

Billy-- I use my draw knives-spokeshaves more for precision scraping than for "hogging" off wood. I probably have 6+ shaves, all vintage and one or two with folding handles. Good when you take the tool to the work. Thanks."Mike"

[@Scooter33andrew]

Love you harmonica and little buckin..remind me of cast away Tom and his ball (Wilson) ❤

My grandfather use to do that backwards swing when the logs wedged up on the blade!

[@hustlindaddiy5194]

Billy, next time you’re in the philly area I need you reach me how to split wood. I do it fairly regularly, but always feel like a novice when I watch you.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

we are all where we are at on our journey... and put energy into what we want to be better at.. i remember wanting to be a better drummer , for my mothers music ... so i put my head down ..and put the time in.. love ya brother. keep at it ,,try new things , and most importantly ,, be nice to people and build up yer surrounding humans .. love Buckin'

[@hustlindaddiy5194]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith Amen. You are a constant source of positive energy and inspiration and we are thankful for you and your channel. Keep up the great work.

[@juanrojo1053]

Thanks for the video. Great explanation on the figure 8 movement. I was getting the beginning of the movement on my own (just trying out of instinct), I look forward to do the finishing move as you show. Take care. Juan

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Fantastic!

[@larrysutton6530]

That double bit you have working looks beautiful and I love the look of that head 👍

[@LEADSPRAYER45]

Buckin is just as good a saw man as a musician! True inspiration! WWBD? What would Buckin do? Lol

[@pablocruz62]

Alaska here. Just wood for the house yeah. I was using the fiskars and another brand. They work fine but the epoxy cracks in the cold. I bought one new this year and it’s already moving. I’m going to try a wood handle on one and see if it lasts more than a few cords. I also have two old axes, a double blade and a single bit that seem to split just fine. Both of those were given to me and I sharpened them to see if they would hold an edge.

[@qweasd60]

[@richkeagy8907]

God Bless you Buckin' Billy Ray!

[@benbyers1041]

I soak my paracord in linseed oil after I wrap it and once it dries after a few weeks it’s even stronger it polymerases and gets super hard

[@Rafedavic]

So glad someone else does the flick thing

[@richardsullivan1776]

Gardena makes a good Husqvarna fiberglass handled axe too! I have both the Husqvarna S2800 splitting axe and the X27 by Fiskars. I like the longer 32- 36 inch handles on my traditional hickory but I'm really taking a shine to the 27 1/2 inch handle on the Husqvarna!

[@Calebthelowber]

[@allgasnobrakes4296]

I wish the wood over here in Australia would split like that

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

i'll come help ya .

[@cowdudeable]

Billy Ray, I throughly enjoy your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Just a minor suggestion. Sometimes you don't completely explain what you are doing to those who are not woodchoppers but simply like to watch your videos. Case in point...in the beginning of this one, why do you wrap the handles in cord? Have they already split and you are repairing them?

[@TheMisteraska]

it's to protect breaking the handle if you miss the swing and hit the log with the handle instead than with the blade
