Hanging an axe. What wood to remove from handle

We have all run into this when hanging an axe. I remove the wood needed to hang this head just right

[@SonOfLiberty1984]

Buckin' you're telling the truth when you say you're changing the world. You're a class act all the way around, brother! I'm glad I found your channel. I am new to working with power saws and have learned a tremendous amount from you in a short time. Your positivity comes through the screen. THANK YOU

[@snowman6678]

Good morning Buckin and Army!

[@307j.o.a.t9]

Thanks for showing that you gotta get rid of the wood to male it fit. Cant be afraid to get after it if it needs it. Love to watch you fit heads!!! Thanks Buckin!! STAY SAFE!!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

YOU BET PAL

[@lilaboys4257]

You are a content monster!! Thank you so much buckin for all the videos . Thumbs up 👍🏻 army

[@willcollier9031]

What a freakin fit buddy, crazy how you closed that gap up. Love to all.

[@txthumper5853]

That was exciting. Do all the axe videos you want, I love em. Can't wait till July!

[@hemidart7]

Hey Buckin' a little tip for when your using your draw knife hold it on an angle meaning one handle closer to you than the other ether side don't mater so you get more of a slice than a jam more control think about when you cut a tomato you don't go straight down you slice right! same concept give it a try you will like the result's also get a scraper save your sharp edge on your draw knife makes working the wood more enjoyable Love your videos man

[@lovethewoods3836]

My guy turned me on to this video and I love it! He loves restoring old axes and has a DCIFF double bit axe. We have researched it and can't find any information about it. We love your spirituality and we believe the same. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Desrtgent]

Good Morning Buckin and Nicky!

[@tyedwinnell8726]

I agree the little gap isn't hurting nothing my wedge bangers got one parracord wrap never see it great video buckin cant wait to see you guys on axe men be kind Friends

[@thenorthener6855]

The right handle for the right axe head.. a little tweaking and rubbing, and there you go.. a perfect fit :) Can hardly wait until Axe Men is aired here, it's coming a little later than overseas, but, as you know..he who awaits something good.. and all of that mumbo jumbo.. Haha!! All the best, welcome to the freshmen, and ladies of course :)

[@hopper336]

I run into the same thing brother, especially with a head with lugs. Have to go way down to get the handle to come out proud on the top. Working on a Kelly Woodslasher currently. It'll be the 30th axe I've hung since I started.

[@d.ahwooomazenkas8075]

Ahwooooo love it 👍

[@heavysnow8616]

Buckin, you can’t get better than that! Beautiful axe....

[@foxhunter5916]

I seen you and the boy on the ax men commercial last night, can't wait till July 11

[@andyprice4696]

This was exactly what I needed to see. I’ve been fitting one with just a slight gap at the front. I could take more wood but, then I risk moving past my peak. The fit is awesome all the way around and has curl everywhere except that little bit in the front….. not gonna worry about it.

[@stevetheriault4164]

Excellent workmanship that handle is perfect hello army and have a great day soldiers

[@therealgabrielcash]

Billy, I dont know how many vids of yours ive watched now but i am still learning things! You are a great man doing great things. Be well, friend!

[@munched55]

I don't know what's right or wrong but when I use my draw knife, I generally have the bevel, down. By lifting or pushing down on the handles while I pull, I can slightly rock the edge on the bevel and can finesse how much of the edge "Bites".

[@billylacount6608]

Love the axe content! Great tid bits for the start of the morning. I’m working one now that will also require me to eat a ton of wood to close that gap...gottta do what ya gotta do :). Thanks and HELLO ARMY!

[@spencermcginty9812]

A master of his craft at work! If you’ve said it once you’ve said it 100 times, it’s all in the fit! Sometimes you just have to experiment with things and figure out what works for you. Thank you for everything that you do for us buckin! Love to you and the family❤️

[@davemi00]

Billy you educate us, I knew 1 thing about Axes... ....those hardware models I have bought are too Soft to maintain an Edge. Which made Fiscars very tough steel, catch my attention. But ya cannot use them to drive a wedge. Seems i’ve walked in a circle ⭕️

[@jeffreyrubish347]

I've had a gap like that on a couple of hammer heads I did. In one instance I had to fill it with a small, homemade wedge put in from below.

[@hankbraff1135]

An impressive axe Bucking , nice fit and a very nice handle, wicked axe, happy days people.

[@GiantPinhead]

Another great axe video, Buckin'. Gigglin'!

[@richardsmith8479]

Billy brother u reason I keep fighting u r a true friend and God bless u

[@terryhatton3622]

Yes I've done the same thing Buckin. Great job.

[@rtdc5662]

I've done a few jerseys, they definitely take some patience. But man they are wicked looking axes. I have a nice 4 pound plumb I'm waiting on a handle for. I can't wait! Nice work hoss.

[@gravelyman]

You always take all the time you need to make it right. You do really great work Buckin !

[@daggajones1]

Joesneon recommended your channel in a video he made about his estwing hatchet modifications. Great stuff man and I just subscribed. I'm just now getting started with the idea to restore and trick out a few axes and hatchets.

[@snowman6678]

BUCKINSTOCK 2019!!!!!!

[@chrislucas3451]

Just hung my first axe, thanks Buckin’!!

[@KevinsDisobedience]

That little space doesn’t hurt the performance at all. Get yourself a Shinto Rasp. It removes wood so much faster and cleaner. You’ll never pick up a spokeshave again.

[@jasonoroark363]

I am thinking getting some axes an do some Handel work. I see how much fun u are having so I might try it. Thanks for making the video's awesome bucking. Jason from scheafferstown pa.

[@forestthompson6617]

Wow Bill, nice one, I'm going to get a little draw knife, that thing is sweet.

[@miltonknowlestheinsanewitc4996]

Always great content keep up the good work I really like your videos especially the ones of axes like this one👍😎

Hi Nicky 20 miles north of Glasgow just 5 minutes away from the butt end of Loch Lomond it's nice here if you've got the time to get yer nose out the grind & look at it haha! Chin up mate 👍

[@rockofagesusa7942]

Fine job 🙂👍

[@SMichaelDeHart]

Looks good!!

[@matthewclarke7993]

Welcome to buckin army and all new subs enjoy your day

[@climbe4422]

Yes i have had this issue and i can tell what NOT to do to fix it. don't keep bringing the head down until the the back of the eye is almost right at the point where the handle curves in so there's no taper behind the eye to hold it .the gap at the front was gone but the head started working its way down at the back and loosened up.

[@pinecone5058]

We can only learn if we try(you) lol your the one removing all that wood, he he

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

Just use a Japanese pull saw for shoulder work of an axe handle. Much faster, cut from an angle.

[@jeffross9275]

Love it brother that is a big chance Stay true my brother

[@chrisiverach1091]

Hello Buckin n army. Good day to you all.

[@jameswilson322]

Hey there folks how are you all going about your things today!? Buckin on Ax men.. It's wait for it,.."Fittin" 🌳😎✊☕🌲

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Umm Hmm All She Needed Was That 1-2 WaaTooT-C ! Wicked Friends ! ATB T God Bless

[@climbe4422]

Also there shouldn't be a shelf where the bottom of the eye meets the handle or a veriaty of bad things can happen over time.......ask me how i know LOL .

[@kurtgolden7488]

ill take them send them on

[@Smokey66s]

Little gap doesn’t worry you but how about the customer, would you the gap leave your shop?

[@climbe4422]

Hey everybody ! for a great axe channel search bushcraft sisyphus ,the fella makes great videos all about axes.

[@buckburton7318]

Might have been interesting but all I could see was the side of your left hand and really didn't see any of the wood you took off.

[@jimlem42]

[@stenstrom5276]

The video did not show your work!

[@thieltge]

I think if I was going to remove wood from the end of a handle I would use the nose of a belt sander. I think that would be easier and quicker.
