Buckin you should get a rubber “Horse Mat” it’s an 1” thick solid rubber mat 4’x6’ and about $40 American. This is perfect to split wood on the ground. Your head will hit the rubber and not the dirt

Buckin, I just want to say thank you and I deeply appreciate the kind of human being you are and strive to be. Because of you I started hafting handles and hanging axe heads again. I’ve also got my son into it (he’s only 7 and loves swinging an axe!). So thanks again for all you’ve taught me over the year I’m grateful and humbled by you. Sending good vibes to you and your family.

[@keithstarnes7009]

I love splitting wood the old fashioned way. When I got days off work.. im buckin and splitting wood at every chance. I learned from my papaw down in Tennessee. He used a dull maul.. but I've seen your dad do like im used too. A combo of a maul and a sledge hammer.. I use a tear drop wedge too. Can tell your dad has done it a long time..he's learned to stand to the side of the maul when hitting with a sledge. I do the same thing.

[@retiredwelder]

Oh ya I took a few pieces of 3x3x1/4 square tubing and welded a little rig that I welded a medium size bench vise to. And it slides into my receiver hitch on my truck. I made it just the right height for when I file my saw. It’s pretty handy. 🙂🙂

[@jirusjirus9322]

That sounds great as long as Buckin is allowed to stand up between songs, because sitting on drum throne for too long can be rough on the back. And as long as mama Buckin is allowed to sit down while playing, if she wants. Little gigs like that will lead to a really nice set at Buckinstock 2022. I'm the best roadie you never had. 😊

[@BandfromGlad]

@@jirusjirus9322 I don't think B will want to play at Buckinstock 2022 as he is just so beat and plugged into his peeps but we were thinking of having a sing along around the fire at the end of the day and Hogan if he feels like it can accompany me or you guys can.

That's a beautiful 4# stiletto bowtie axe head. I've learned that a 6-8 inch chopping block seems to work best for me. Thanks to Buckin a year ago I had an old splitting maul and now I think I may have a couple dozen axes SMH my favorite is a 5# Sager bowtie double bit it's a wood splitting beast !

[@jasonpinckney2178]

Your always saying you prefer the low profile chopping blocks and it makes me wish I could send you one of the three I have. I use 7" tall 42" round hard maple trunk wood. Being that it's from the base of the tree where the upper roots start forming it gives the grain a crazy twisted and curved pattern that makes it nearly indestructible. In two years of hard use I've knocked maybe a 2" chunk off the outer edge. You'd love em.. Next time I head to Oregon I'll have to shoot up your way and bring ya one.. It's like having your own 4 foot chopping pad.

[@R377R0]

My goodness! What beautiful rounds! Wow. Definitely want a lower chopping block for power and a bit more leverage in the swing. That French Curve axe has literally all the weight in the head, making it a superior buster.

[@teddelisle7588]

After years of lifting weights, my primary workouts are now splitting wood. Much more productive- and more satisfying. I prefer working outdoors to being inside a gym.

There's no better stress relief than chopping wood 😌

I can think of numerous activities that are excellent stress relief but as you state none are better. Maybe as good, but not better. The difference could be in the level of fun.

[@paultankersley8215]

It is nice to see a KZbinr who actually splits the wood into firewood size pieces, instead of large kindling.

[@danieldondzilo7986]

Hi Buck. Technical question. I’m new to chopping wood and I’m not sure how to pick out a good axe. Is the axe handle length important for certain leverage and what should I look for with a head? I’ve seen some full one piece metal axes with rubber handles and I’m not sure why it could be better or not better. Also, you mentioned stick to the program…do you have a video where you explain chopping basics for beginners? Thanks for all positive videos.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great work out

[@coreyshortland2074]

Your right about the double bit swing being something else! I just got one and boy oh boy do I wish I could use it for everything. And you know what, I might just try. 😎

[@benschlacher6131]

That DB is the business. What a stunning place to split wood.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Yup a choppin block stops the axe just before making max power.

[@markatkinson9963]

I feel that it's easier on my back

[@markatkinson9963]

Also, less power may be generated but, the hardness makes what energy that's there, more effective. But, I see what you are sayin'. Have great day today.

[@pilkpulk8284]

hi buckin, i have been wondering whether the length of the handle depends on the length of the arm....? and when splitting on a high block, 10% of the momentum that the body brings when it follows the ax is missing. similar to boxing ... have a great day everyone! take the high road, be kind and let love rule!

[@adamfarmelo]

A beautiful playground and wonderful machines (bodies) that we have to play with. Buckin: thanks for everything you do, your channel, content, and message are inspirational. To everyone else: be kind!

[@leereynolds2168]

One of these days I will be ordering one of your axes. I just got through with one of these workouts. Splitting oak and poplar. Split enough to fill my F150 using a maul and a double bit axe

[@chuck805]

Another video that took me ta school. I don't know it all and I try to always be teachable. Those skinny handles aren't for me right now as I have to practice what you're saying including the flick so I can use those skinny handles without concern. Thanks Buckin' for everything you do. Be safe as this too shall pass, one day at a time...

[@logginlogan6796]

That wood looks beautiful

[@machigane7902]

You should really try getting a 15" tire and screwing it with some washers into the chopping block. It helps keep the splits vertical and you don't have to bend down so much. I think you'd love it!

[@stuartramage5933]

Hi Billy. Nice wee vid .i really loved that last axe u used i think u said something french about her .that really did the damage .peace

Processing firewood is kinda relaxing to me. My friends hates to do it, its only hard work to them. But I enjoy doing it.

[@retiredwelder]

I think it’s what you told me once buckin. It’s what you experience. Some people like mauls. Some like axes. It’s what works for them in the wood they are splitting. Nice video bud. It’s nice of you to help your dad split and stack his wood. I take care of my parents wood as well. Take care and god bless. As always WORK SAFE 😎😎. Oh ya....... HOTROD HOMELITE 😬😬😬😬😬😬

[@ElectricPhantasmagoria]

Do some Kettlebell up side down grip holds as well as KB swings while forcing the KB down instead of letting it drop and you’ll be able to blow pieces of wood apart as if they were dynamited apart. Last 3 months I’ve been working on that stuff and it’s like artillery going off when it hits - especially with a 4lb convex ax *BOOM*

[@edwardakin7243]

My two favorite splitting axes is my 6 lb fire ax in my steel splitting ax that 6 lb fireman's act as a wonderful job and that steals the next one up it's awesome

[@owenslubo9243]

"Man cuts wood and says nice things" Love your content Buckin!

[@mikeliuzza4109]

Hello All! I sitting here watching Buckin destroy, cut logs making firewood. Using a chipping block stops the ax from hitting the ground when you go through the cut. It wouldn't take long before your ax edge looked like your old man's. l loved the opening scene, the Whale that he can see without too much trouble, is great. Here in SE Louisiana, you may be able to see Pilot Whales in the Gulf Of Mexico, but never humpbacks. The last time I saw a humpback whale, I was in the US Navy, on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, playing war games! I was a corpsman, so my duty station was in the Offers Quarters whenever General Quarters was called, so I could sneak out and take in the view, which sometimes gave me bad hearing from the guns being fired. One final question, who, what, and where, removed the bark from those bucked tree cuts?

[@Christophergrunau]

I watch your channel all the time

[@davidgrove1480]

hey Billy, love to split wood myself, grew up in Santa Cruz Mountians , boulder creek to be exact. i totally agree with you on a shorter block, except i believe you explained it in a way that seems opposite to me, allow me to explain. when you use a tall chopping block the round is higher up off the ground therefore not allowing your swing to gain power through the peek of your swing, which is closer to the ground( that's why i think a lot of guys like to set rounds on the ground on go for it) i suppose just a difference in perspective, only positive criticism. madrone is my favorite to split, what's yours...?

[@davidgrove1480]

actually no criticism peace

[@jeffriddle9029]

Dude,looks like your in the evergreen state...my favorite state..my dad would cut down trees and he'd hook a rope up to trick with me driving,he'd say just take your foot off the brake and don't spin the tires,I'd say but dad what if the tree falls on me?? He'd say just do what your told boy...lol..I think I was maybe 10,maybe 8..when the tree fell I' would jump out the truck and grab my hatchet and start at the top and he'd grab the saw and we'd meet in the middle,then we'd split the wood with a mall...keep up the great videos brother,love them and you...btw I still love splitting wood

[@jspahnie]

Love the technique advice, but those axes dont work on gnarley red oak from the southeastern US. I wish we had nice fir that you have up in the Northwest, great heat value for the ease of splitting.

[@TysonHook-22-]

wow, that maul's edge is the definition of throwing a hunk of steel at wood... I think I seen a tomahawk in a museum once with that same edge geo :P but I guess as long as it gets the job done, then its a working mans tool... I just cant help but think how much more energy is spent and wasted with a dull edge like that, but as you say we've all swung axes like that, that are duller then butter knives but amazingly they still manage to get the job done at the end of the day.

[@sums369]

[@sebkent6691]

This year I did things a little different with our winter fuel so I chopped more and split less, just smaller diameter wood is all so a good boys axe size goes right through on one swing. But I do miss splitting. Splitting is just a bit special. The concentration, the force and precision. It's just good. I dunno maybe I'll get hold of some splitting wood soon.
