WHAT AN HONOR TO RECIEVE AN AXE FROM THE FAMOUS YOUNG BLACKSMITH LIAM HOFFMAN

[@hammerandanail4770]

You should do a interview with your dad explaining his life ! He looks like a super interesting guy and I bet we could all learn a thing or two from him

[@tomtheplummer7322]

There goes my hero. Watch him as goes, watch as he grows. Heavy to carry to heaven😢 .

[@justinweaver8787]

Awesome idea

[@shapeshifter7753]

What a great way to honour a great man and support an amazing community 👍 Liam ! You are living your dream friend!

[@jeffreyrubish347]

That's a beautiful axe! Thanks, Liam.

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

Hello billy ray and billy rays papa, I am really enjoying seeing you two interacting, it gives me a better understanding of you as a person

[@jeffbeeman8274]

What a beautiful axe. I agree, not the ideal splitting profile but would be great as a camping, survival, kindling, farm, limbing and as you demonstrated, shingling axe. What a generous gift and the workmanship is second to none.

[@stevetheriault4164]

THE BEGINNING SOUND TRACK SOUNDS LIKE THE START OF A ROCKY MOVIE,,,,NICE SEEING YOUR DAD IN THE VIDEO,LOOKS HEALTHY,VERY NICE LOOKING AXE GREAT JOB LIAM,,NICE WORK

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Great axe from a great man❤️🌲🪓👊🏻🙏🏻

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

Oh Buckin I love the Rolloff farm. Thank you for the insight and the showcase for Liam and his craftsmanship. This is such good information. Love ya brother. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓

[@prestonberg9604]

Billy you should be one of those 2am knife/sword/axe salesmen! Lol you’d sell the crap out of them bud!

[@martyrutter3630]

Liam beautiful workmanship on that axe and handle. The pride you take in your work is noteworthy 👍👍👍♥️

[@terrywhite9017]

Good morning Buckin' , Good to see you today. That's a beautiful axe. I would love that profile around 1.5lbs as a carry camping / bushcraft axe. The design of the axe, again, is beautiful. Have a blessed day. Love you Buckin'. Excellent video.

[@outdoorangerify]

Love that axe. A few years ago I started restoring old Swedish axes before they started selling for silly money. Most of them were the 4 1/2 lb utility axe good for chopping can split. And I've restored a few hatchets as well. I don't have a workshop or any fancy power tools, just me, sandpaper and elbow grease. I did invest in a Tormek T4 which really took the sharpening of the axes to a new level. Unfortunately I'm banned from buying any new or old axes by my other half because of the money I was spending. 😭

[@maycreekcruiser]

Hi Buckin, I was wondering where someone could pick up some nice old style cedar shingles. In the next few years here, me and some of my fellow volunteers are going to be helping out with the restoration of an old 1870s coal mining house. No one’s been able to find the right shingles, especially for here domestically in the US. We’re up in the Seattle area, so I figure the best person to try and ask would be a fellow pacific northwesterner who knows a thing or two about wood. Great channel, here’s hoping people take your knowledge and do great things with it!

[@jaybird_980]

Been waiting for this buckin!!!! I was trying to hook you guys up years ago

[@imkrane]

I love seeing you and your dad together, he looks great!!!

[@terrystotzheim9719]

That is one beautiful ax!!!!

[@FreddieExPath]

That first "unboxing" axe looked like it could be great for carpentry work. Like notching logs when making Scandinavian type log cabins etc. Like it's having a blade profile that's good to make chops/cuts with, where you want to chop/shave away a precise amount of wood off a log or beam. Like you could make more even chops with it than the 2nd axe.

[@AaronTheViking250]

That is what my current wedge banger has for it's head is a choping head profile mounted on a 28 inch handle.

[@mikehayes2233]

Buckin' Billie, you received quite a nice piece of equipment My Friend!! And Liam is quite a Gentleman to do that and I don't believe he could have a selected a nicer man to unbox such a tool!! Make sure you close BOTH eyes tonight!! he he he Keep up the good work!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Thx

[@kasnitch]

That is a gorgeous chopper . I think Liam should add a 4-4.5 splitting axe to his website . Been looking for a really good splitter for a long time woodman buddy, though I do have my heart set on a BBR wood bullet as first pick . He used to be a line cutter out west on the pipeline for a lot of years .. name is Conrad Corville . People have said he and his brothers were well known out there .. not sure if you ever heard of him .. it can be a small world sometimes . He would love a wood bullet ... he is still doing firewood and falling climbing splitting in his seventies to heat and make money .

[@tacticalflannel8523]

I like when you ask “if you are into axes”, cuz I always say out loud, “why yes I am”.

[@1944chevytruck]

WOW! BE KIND ....NICE AXE!

[@push_trees3584]

I've purchased 3 handles from liam, I must say, They Are Beauties! Strong but snappy at the same time.

[@bigboy8526]

What a beautiful sight of that awesome handmade forged custom axe. I gotta get me one.

[@natejames289]

Love your videos bro I've looked up to you ever since my brother passed away in 2017 oregon boys we were now it's just me.he had taught me falling tress and logging all the good stuff.hey every one yall take care out their over and out

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Look straight across at me brother .. love wins

[@smorgdonkey]

Lovely axe Buckin'...Liam really made a beauty there. I even appreciate the contrast of his shim (maybe not the correct term) in the head of the handle.

[@justinweaver8787]

Very awesome!!! Thank u to Liam.

[@Oscar-kb4wf]

I am glad you have great friends like i do. keep up the great work . love you brother.

[@killingyouwithlogic5808]

Hey new to your chan. But was a climber for 22 yrs. and it's so refreshing seeing people who still have the conventional Climbing Skill It getting more and more rare and its sad all the new toys people use make the tree work so much easier but when they come across a tree a crane and bucket can't get to that's where people like you and myself truly shine! Watching a lot of your older video's and again so refreshing to see a dying breed live on!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

welcome friend

[@christine_bbr]

Welcome to the Army friend.

[@scotttam7491]

I feel you it’s funny tho you see alot climbers even that only know how to climb with fancy gadgets don’t get me wrong I don’t taught line like BBR but I did for years just if your climbing ever day a zig zag is nice it atleast prusik and hitch climber only cause I don’t want tie a hitch 20 x a day anyway I ramble lol you gotta be able to take down trees with nothing but a saw saddle a rope add a few toys to make life easier but knowing how to do it old school is a must for me atleast

[@lukelofgren4108]

That is an awesome axe sent to a very deserving man! I love his axes and hope I can make axes that good someday. Buckin I might have to send you a boys axe I've made.

[@jacobdunn3521]

It's beautiful. These days quality is so over looked. The quality of these tools are unmatched.

[@nicholasittzes7224]

That really is a sweet axe! A perfect hollow, almost as if it were ground to that shape. Fit to the handle so beautifully! I bet that edge is shaving sharp! I haven't seen the rest of the video yet, but I'd guess we'll see chips fly the size of stove lids, and twice as thick.

[@westcoast8562]

Fine piece of art to flex old buckin's brain . Thank goodness he won't be abusing it at the wood pile!

[@joescabinbuild]

Hey there Buckin! I've been watching you for a bit now, and you have inspired me so much, in so many different ways. I'm 32 and I finally think I found my calling! I just love cutting and chopping wood, being out in the wilderness. I just love it! Ive been splitting all my wood with a maul, I would like to try an axe, I think I would get more enjoyment out of it! Is there a way to order axes from you??

[@nickforst9011]

Nice Video 👍😀

[@antoniomorgado5304]

Nice video and axes.

[@tomram5158]

The internet has changed the world, BUT I'm not sure if it's for the good. Here I am typing on the internet.

[@offshoretinker]

The handle is weak, doesn't match the head and just doesn't look right. A full on arm and shoulder blow that doesn't split you won't get it out without the handle letting go. Leverage is what it takes - and that means lifting from the grip. That handle would not take it - and every axe will encounter a stubborn unseen knot at some stage. I wrote this before the end of the video and I know Billy was taking it easy. Nobody chops down trees with an axe - anybody wanting an axe uses it to split. Having said that - the head is fantastic and a testament to craftsmanship. Just the handle needs work.

Buck I love you but I hate it when you say sorry you have nothing to be sorry about you’re the brightest and happiest person I have ever witnessed

[@jirusjirus9322]

Well, you know where that comes from... Being respectful and kind... many times I've found myself saying that mostly when working in close proximity to a home owner or friends... maybe bumping into them or shining a light in their eyes for a second... but it's not about me it's about Buckin, he's so aware of the friends watching that he excuses himself if the camera gets bumped... absolutely hilarious at times...✅👍💚🌲

[@natejames289]

Billy bro get back at me that be cool I've asked for a axe but no reply long while back but your getting utube famous now your a busy man now.

[@aaronthomas829]

I'm interested in a purchase. Where do I find him?

[@cosmicbilly]

Facebook and his website. But good luck getting your hands on anything he makes... he sells out in seconds and anyone that gets an axe from him never wants to sell them. And if they do, they will charge thousands of dollars. Liams axes are very expensive and hard to get.. pre orders run out within seconds of them dropping on his website. Ive been trying to get one for over a year and still havent had any luck.

Hey Billy bro awesome videos just a quick comment if you can answer back bro I just got a old school stihl 028 wb it's a screeming saw I think it's built no muffler though what do ya think bro.oregon boy

[@gerrytrader4756]

Hay Buckin I’d like to respond to Nate if you don’t mind Nate stihl used three different motors in the 028 some of the early ones came with a 42mm piston the wood boss came with a 44mm and the super came with a domed 46mm piston. Nice older saw I own a wood boss and a super myself. Enjoy

Lovely axe, but why do I never see you use a maul? As far a splitting wood goes, how can if be beat? Please explain.

[@thomasanderson1783]

Is it because a maul isn’t sexy?
