I live in an urban area not too far away from a big urban city with a bigger national airport next to it and an even bigger international seaport next to that; you get the point. A buddy of mine had me over a few weeks ago for a couple of sat night little parties he was havin on an off. After using up all the big bix store 2x6s and 4x4s for the mini bonfires he had, I noticed a couple of ~18" wide logs of Willow tree I think, I dont know really. I grabbed a carpenters hammer and an electricians chizel from his garage and went ham on that sucker most of the night while everyone was going bottoms up on the drinks. Man, I felt good the next day.

I split eucalyptus. It's hard and un forgiving. And when I started several years ago, I thought about a log splitter. I'd definitely need one 32 tons plus. A used one cost about $700. A rented one just didn't make sense. Gas, maintenance, lugging and lifting the rounds into the machine. The math didn't add up. I vowed to split by hand ever since. My friends think I'm crazy and they don't come around much anymore. Thank you Buckin Army for being my family.

Some people pay good money for gym memberships. They spend time traveling back and forth and working out at the gym, and what they get for it is, maybe, some health benefit. BR Spends some time busting firewood, gets his workout at no cost and with a product at the end. Since I retired, I tell people "I don't need a gym membership. I'm a homesteader." I swing axes, shovel dirt, move timber - I do physical work that has a product as well ;) And while I've spent much of my life being a competitive athlete, I'm in the best shape of my life now at 63.

Log splits are also for disabled bikers that can't swing an axe no more... I swung an axe from the age of ten until the motorcycle wreck that end a big part of my life at 53 years of age... Some friend I don't know who sent me a 21 ton log splitter. It was the best gift I ever received. We couldn't find anyone to come split the wood we need for to winter, so we ended up getting old skids to cut up to burn. When all the while we had at least 5 cords of wood that just needed someone to split it... So I now hook the splitter up to my lawn tractor and pull it out the the side field where there's a big pile of wood that my tree trimmer biker buddy brings me. This year he's been VERY busy this is the biggest mound of wood he ever brought me. And he cuts it all to 16inches just to make my life easier... I split what I can then some friends come lift the logs I can't lift.... Be blessed my friend.... BBE...

Bottom line I love axes, I love the feel of chopping and splitting wood, getting to know the character and stories that old axes tell me. I like the exercise and exhilaration of having a workout with axes...you can keep the gym for me...pass me an axe!

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith may very well be in the process of inventing a new type of stand-up comedy. It should be called, as he is the inventor of it, "Bucking Comedy." It involves people with a superb sense of humor explaining how things work. It has the great advantage that it indeed teaches you something useful, but in a context of pure fun and jokes. This can only go north if the Bucking types are true type characters with their signature environment as a unique decor to their antics. More power to you Billy Ray. You are ahead of a big curve!

Hey Buckin just my two cents on the log splitter I’m in northwest lower Michigan the fire wood I get is mostly maple tree tops left over from the loggers not much straight grain lots of crotches. Also when I tell people I burn pine they all say ” oo you are going to get creosote your house will burn down” I use both and burn it all hot no smoke. Love the videos keep them coming Vince

I finally scooted them big ones close to the splitter with the tractor and stood the splitter up. I went to the woods last night. Got up this morning, fixed breakfast and cut some old oak up.

Silky Steve, that's when we get a nice piece of seasoned ash and work on it with a draw-knife and spokeshave...custom make the shaft and you will have one beast of an axe you can't put down.

@@redcanoe14 I have the tools but not the ash (or hickory) available here in Sweden. I've made handles for my older collared Swedish and Finnish and Russian axes because they all used Birch and there's plenty of that.

@@munched55 I too have hand made axe shafts out of Yellow Birch and I find them good on my Billnas Axes. I was born in England and came to Canada when I was 51, most of the axes my dad and grandad had were shafted with Ash, occasionally with Oak and on one or two very old axes Elm (which I find to be an amazing wood). In Russian and parts of Eastern Europe Beech is used and is a good choice. Hickory is tough, but I have had many axe shafts split down the grain. My grandfather's axe was a 4 1/2lb Elwell dated 1944 with a 'crows foot' stamp on the head indicating it was military issue. I also have a very ld Pattern 44 Elwell 2 1/2lb felling axe with a rounded poll. The biggest Elwell Axe I have seen was 8lbs!

Thank you so much for your excellent entertaining videos. I did my share of felling [chain saw] bucking and splitting, our little house took a enormous amount of wood. I find you aim incredible precise . We live in the foothills and a tent peg is driven in the ground with a 4lbs hammer be course of the rocky ground and am amazed that you dont loose the edge after the axe hits the ground and still cut the mushroom Holy Moly😳😳. It takes me a long time to sharpen a axe and shiver at the thought it hitting the ground I used to have a permanent shopping block in my truck. I am now chair bound and thoroughly enjoy your vids Thank you Martin

I am my log splitter and I love it too! Your use of the axes has me curious and now I am going to sharpen up my double and a single and see what they can add to my mauls. I've been splitting with a pair of old school mauls and seeing your collection gives me the itch, I need to find more. I have axe envy... Thanks for the constant teaching and random lessons.
