How to para cord wrap an Axe handle

[@chrishoward9754]

Hay hay there Bucking looking good my man. That 550 cord is nylon try doing it while its wet, once it dries the rope shrinks and it gets extra tight.

[@andrewmagee1666]

This is definitely meant to be. I am watching Billy's video on wrapping handles on Easier Sunday. Thank you brother. Blessings from Montana

[@jaytrauger813]

I trust your knowledge and experience, that’s why I like seeing things you do even when there are other videos on the same thread ✌️

[@randybaker4277]

You are exactly right!! I just looked up videos for wrapping my handle and as soon as I saw Buckin I got excited to see your technique. I want to give you a very personal thanks, I’m a combat veteran and have a very hard time sleeping, I watch your videos when I can’t sleep between the sounds of saws and axes and listening to you I can get my mind to rest and get some good sleep. Thank you

[@-AP]

Hi buckin love your work and how you tell stories and tell how to do the work great 👍🙂 you have been a big inspiration for me . And thanks for that friend 🤗 kindness Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰

[@bobbrooks266]

Great Idea Billy very interesting. Welcome new soldiers of kindness just joining us.have great week folks. Be kind

[@GCL61]

Ohhhh yeah the hair looks amazing. Great video of paracord wrap. I learned a ton will be trying to wrap a handle tomorrow thanks BR

[@staceymelville3062]

Excellent thanks for the vid your a natural in front of a camera most people would be fumbling around good job.

[@Stu23willys]

Did my first axe today with my boy watching. The axe was my Grandfathers a Firestone standard. I removed handle which was rough. I sanded the stick down just enough to clean up reset the head burnt it sanded again. Then we ran to town for some danish oil and what do ya know I found Watco {sweet} wiped er down and wrapped the old stick. I think will gift it to my Father for his Birthday. Be Kind.

[@mattkellerman2664]

Tactical upgrade....very nice Buckin.

[@sabbie7]

I love your vids Buckin. I've been watching so many lately, while I'm working on projects around my house and for other people. I really like the positive message as well as the many tutorials. I've been clearing land on my property for years and you've given me so many helpful tips. I appreciate you so much. Thank you and keep up the amazing work and positive messages.

[@bykrmom]

Fantastic video! I need to tighten up the head on the first axe I hung, it slipped a tiny bit this winter pounding on a frozen log to bust it loose from the ground. Once that's squared away I think I'll wrap the axe too. I have an entire roll of recoil rope for weed eaters that I barely ever need, so I think I'll use that because the budget is a bit tight at the moment. Everyone have a GREAT Easter Sunday! See you in the trees.

[@spencermcginty9812]

There’s just something about that paracord wrap👌 makes a mean lookin axe just look just a little tougher. That stuff is tough for sure! It’s amazing when you look back not too long ago to a car port with a blue tarp and a propane heater. So many things have changed but the core things have never changed a bit👌 love to you and the family❤️

Nicely done buckin I can’t wait to try this. Being a mechanic myself I’m always making hillbilly bandaids out of rags and tape 👍

[@hondar6777]

Ouch!! Hate dealing with them hand cuts for the next week. Just got done parawrapping mine. Thanks Buckin!!

[@onyxtraveler]

Happy Easter buckin! You know your STUFF that's why I watch your videos. I'm from New Hampshire lots of trees lots of work with love and kindness. Keep up the good fight and get better!

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

Wow!! I wasn't expecting that!! The way the loose end is tied up is wicked!! Of course it's tight Buckin, you done it lol... Noticed you didn't do the "I'm a maniac" song & dance on the live feed yup you're defo hurting there, take it easy, maybe do some videos on baking or window cleaning to keep us all in touch heehee!! Mixture screw videos never go wrong there's always someone asking about that & how much do the seasons affect them?? Bleeding good show Billy I really wanted to see this👍. Chin up people, shine on 😀❤️👍

[@wayne-wango-wever8393]

Hope you get healed up and feel better soon. Happy Easter to everyone!!

[@billkrause4585]

I was going to buy a handle protector for my Collins Double bit axe, but wow … expensive! Then I remembered from your list of videos you did a Para-Cord Wrap as a axe handle protector. That's for me, so I'm watching it. Hey, when you have a little thumb mishap … Bring in Sven to give you a break. We like to see more of him in the videos, that guy is a lot of fun. Thank you so much for the shared knowledge in each video … It's greatly appreciated. We having fun.

[@GigOne]

Cool wrap. I have several handles to wrap now. Hope you get better soon, Buckin'!

[@jamesbyrer5825]

Buckin you did that exactly right. I just para rapped two vintage axes today except I used yellow cord on flame blacked handles. Love your channel

[@edfoster792]

Hey Billy, it's been a while and I'm glad to see you haven't lost a step. They're planning a major redesign of the museum's campus where I'm a guard. I don't know what their plans for the trees are, but some of those trees are potentially a hundred years old. I thought how I know one man who'd see the tragedy in throwing them away. Anyway, I still love your energy man.

KOOL BUDDY

[@smellyrobert4448]

Now I have to buy some paracord... I just need to do it! Looks very good Billy!

[@ericokeefe9124]

Great job Billy, give it a try with bees wax on handle before you wrap it. Becomes crazy solid... works for me. Keep up the great work! Coach

[@ericriddle467]

First time I ever seen that done lol nice job might have to try that out some day. Happy Easter buckin be safe everybody

[@kevinpeterson3096]

Been showin up for life got my boys in a tree takin it slow and safe. Learnin knots and such. Hobby for now but there diggin it Keep missin the live feeds though lol.

[@chadrogers4635]

Instead of using paracord I use tar infused catfish bait line from Walmart. The tar infused in it won't let it rot and it does the same thing as the paracord. Plus the tar lets to get a grip on the handle by the head for better control of the head if you're trying to use it to make what's called feathering in bushcrafting to help make fire starting material.

[@scottlandmcc]

Loving your videos! Entertaining, educational and just great! I do agree with your comment about wanting to watch our guys doing something. Reviewing something. Learn to trust your opinion and knowledge I guess. Cheers and have a great day Buckin'!

[@jimlichiello3241]

Been around since 1000k, still can’t keep up with your energy. Bottle it! I’ll buy a pint! I don’t comment much but just wanted to say hello and thanks Buckin’. I still watch all your videos and enjoy your perspective and inspiration. Love ya bud. See you at Buckinstock!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Jim Lichiello gonna be great ya meet ya brother .. thx for speaking up

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Nice. Your haircut is looking clean!!!!! Too.😲😆axe really good!!!!!!!👏👏👍👍

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@Thedoug369]

Coat the whole wrap with super glue, and it'll be practically bulletproof after it all melts together.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Don't feel bad, Buckin. I often cut myself on my axes. Wrap looks great!

[@stevensmith3069]

Great video buckin love the content and your great personality keep up the hard work be kind work hard be honest 👊🏻

[@caseG80]

You can also pull the inner out on the loop part underneath making it a little flatter and little unnoticed.

[@stevefowler1914]

Whenever I have an axe in the vise, or am going to be handling it for any length of time without a sheath on it, I put a piece of tape over the bit. Saves from getting cut. I used to think I was cut proof, but not any more. Cheers.

[@stevetheriault4164]

Great video excellent way to protect your axe there beutiful man I hope you hit 50,000 subscribers soon buddy lots of soldiers of kindness one big family👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@SnortnBoarTransport]

Hey Buckin I've been doing this on a few on mine, but have trouble keeping them tight where the handle starts to come off the shoulders. single bitt. It does save the handle on a missblow for sure. Thanks for doing this one! I better make you a couple leather sheaths to keep on them babies when you're making these episodes!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

SnortnBoarTransport am Experimenting with the grooves in the wood

[@danemichielsen6509]

I had wrapped my little wedge banger. Kinda felt like it was "bush" league, but it makes sense. Sometimes axes need band aids too.

[@tonyjones770]

Hey buckin wow what an Axe

[@woos31]

I absolutely LOVE how that wrapped up over the lugs on that! You operate on one of the best analogies ever and it actually flows with your whole outlook on each day and that is KISS KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Now you don't have to use the word stupid of course and in your case Buckin, you could tweak it to Keep It Simple Soldiers Point being that the wrap is so simple yet effective, it's almost silly lol. I will most definitely be doing this on my axes and splitting mauls as I've usually got 4-5 different people who swing them and there's no way around the handle getting whacked, it's like rocking a chain or hitting steel........it's just going to happen regardless, it's part of the game. Thanks for making this video pal, I sure as heck enjoyed it simple as it may be it is a damn good little trick

[@munched55]

Crazy Glue those nicks together Buckin'. Squeeze the cut hard first to stop the bleeding and dry the cut for a sec.

[@HandsomeNTHal]

Nice work and explanation. I’m definitely doing this soon!

Hey Buckin' I'be been a carpenter 12 years. I. just rehandled an old Hults Bruks 3 1/2 looks beauty. Just out in the bush all day yesterday bringing in firewood. These days I'm studying to become a Registered Massage Therapist. A good strong RMT would sort you out right quick.

[@carlgreen3932]

Great job and video. Hey, get you a torch lighter for burning the ends on that Paracord. Much quicker, easier, and especially more precise so you don't accidentally burn a wrap.👍

[@darellsunderlin4670]

All I can say is I just wrapped mine & it's going to get redone . As far as cutting yourself well, slow down and take a breath first, second get yourself a roll of paper towel & a couple tubes of super glue , wipe with towel & put on glue ,works ever time !!! :-)

That looks really good! Thanks for the demonstration Buckin ' For a minute I thought it was going to be like the old SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd doing Julia Child impersonation, "oops I seem to have cut myself "

[@scottthesing5161]

Billy I just did my axe like on your site came out great when I get cut working i use duck tape or electronic tape no bandage

[@climbe4422]

Thanks for inspiring me to try this. I put the first long loop along the front edge of the handle so it doesn't add thickness to the sides and adds cushioning to the front....i don't know if this is a good idea or not.🤔

[@psullivan40]

Buckin, I hope you're ok with that cut. I hate to admit this but when you cut yourself and started bleeding all over the place I immediately thought of that SNL skit; "The French Chef," Julia Child (Dan Aykroyd) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Tbp2l_fKeafLM It was a funny sketch. Be careful though. I once caught my shin with a hatchet, just knicked it. But it was long and deep enough for stitches. The real problem came weeks later when the wound healed over but there was something still in the wound. The body kept producing fluid, swelled up like a golf ball then popped like a balloon shooting clear fluid like a squirt gun, no infection just clear fluid. This would happen a couple times until I went to see a surgeon who ripped open and cleaned out the wound. In any case, be careful. Love the videos, keep'm comin.

[@maksbielesz]

you just got yourself a new subscriber :)

[@mombasadele479]

I would probably treat a new axe with many coats of linseed oil before doing this. The paracord would probably bite a bit too much in to a new axe. Nice video.

[@joeschranz4525]

mombasadele that’s exactly what I was thinking. I think for me I’ll do a couple months of coatings then every year I might undo the paracord and put another coat of BSO on it

[@mombasadele479]

Joe Schranz Yeah exactly. And you can't really only oil the part without the paracord, it would leave an ugly section beneath. BSO - is that beewax with linseed oil?

[@ralphcure127]

Nice video Buckin. I feel like doing it now:) By the way, here from distance, it seems to me, like there's something going on, telling you to stop for a while, take a deep breath and rest before whatever this is, passes. Well, its just a thought, i might be wrong. Anyway, you seem that you can listen to your protection voice. So keep doing it! Take care, be safe, be well. Many people care about you. Love

[@jenette16]

Working on my poor single bit ax. Looks like someone used a flint to sharpen it, like the cave men. All rippled along the edge, nasty. My last thing is to wrap it with cord. Thanks for the tips. It looking like a complete different ax, shiney sharp edge.

[@aaronvandenberg7550]

Tried this all day on a Helko Werk Expedition from the Forster line. Could not get it to work no matter how wrapped it. The handle does have a laquer finish so that may have been a large part of the issue.

Buckin, You are priceless man. Taping leather on the axe before you put tape or a band aid on your bleeding thumb! LOL. A man has to know what is important. Looking forward to shaking your hand at Buckinstock, try not to cut it off before we get there.

[@timc5301]

thank you so much my rap came out wicked thanks to you

[@StreamHugger]

Good video. I finally got around to wrapping my tomahawk handle. I only had one problem. The rapping part is pretty straightforward. The part I had the problem with was burning the ends of the Paracord so that they don't fray. How can you do that without burning the first row of Paracord adjacent to the end of the wrap?
