[@tommalone4310]

I know this is an older video but I am going back through looking at all your axe vidjas, especially any with German steel!

[@spencermcginty9812]

[@daveinla7666]

[@dcurbatsch]

welcome to all the new friends and subscribers.Good looking axe Billy Ray.

[@loadeddog8015]

6000 subs mate . congratulations. Great thing is there's plenty of room for more. welcome to the news & hello the family of true blues

[@44musher]

loadeddog K ldog!!

[@ThePepper1976]

Hey billy. Love the german steel as well. My west german 2.5 lbs was same way. Crooked off forge for some reason. Very prodominitly crooked. Can tell just looking at it lol. Stuck it on an ol swedish beat up handle. Tried carving handle to sit straighter. Kinda helped. But for wedge bangger watthehell hey.

[@thenorthener6855]

Haha!! Over 6000 subs!! I like it...Welcome to all new subscribers...Great axe Billy, good wedge system, the heads will never come off. I´d guess that with those round wedges it would be sufficient with one wedge, but with two you will be pretty sure that it will stay on...good job :)

[@dczy1390]

Congrats on 6000 subs Buckin!

[@chancewayne88]

Haha, absolutely Deadly Axe manufacturing!! Good job buddy!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I feel good about it thx

[@hansreichwagen8015]

that thing we talked about should be there soon

[@huck01955]

Outstanding craftsmanship

[@MattArquette-go9je]

Congrats friend on 6000 subs! Keep up the good work

[@speedandmarine9066]

If you're filing your powersaw you have to get the gullet! If you building an axe you have to get the groove! If you're playing drums you have to feel the groove!

[@AuctionIndiana]

Grooves and Gullets Haft to say are Buckin's comfort zones!

[@speedandmarine9066]

And he does them well!

[@ryanemerry]

Speed and Marine funny stuff Blues!

[@eldoradowoodcrafthobbies3888]

Lovely axe Billy your personal touch can't be measured ; good job. Stay safe , get wood.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx pops

[@larryduttry9400]

No need to pin those heads buddy, I am pretty sure you figured out a way to bond wood and steel on a molecular level lol! I sent back a brand new wetterlings that was off 3 times that far. No joke. It had a 10" handle, and it was forged so crooked that when you say the edge on a straight line, at the end of the handle it was over 1/2" over the line. Went back to the vintage stuff after that! Welcome to all you new subscribers, glad to see you starting to comment, let's keep the positivity flowing!

[@MrChesterbishop]

[@GoodDayFarm]

[@loadeddog8015]

Good Day Farm .g'day gdf. I went over your way for a peek. you do some really nice videos yourself. our family especially loves the chickens.🖒

[@GoodDayFarm]

loadeddog K Thank you! That means a lot to me! I appreciate the kind words. Chainsawing and animals, that's about all I post! 😂😂😂😂

[@maplehouseknives]

I also have a wedge banger that leans a little to the left if you know what I mean...😊 All jokes aside, I wanted to ask you if you had ever heard of the German Axe maker "Luna". Has 2 moons in the logo. I'm restoring a forest axe and hatchet from this maker, my clients Granddads axes. Any info you can give is much appreciated. FYI, I'm Canadian and live in Germany and can find no info! Thanks in advance!🍻

[@sonorablue3291]

Great looking axe

[@dolsen1975]

Buckin....you need to talk about the wood that those lower wedges are filling. There are gaps in vintage heads that you system will fill. Great job...explain it better.

[@fhaverkamp]

Billy.......Don't make me come out there with a water pistol. Put those glasses, they're just for seeing.

[@fhaverkamp]

Okay, obviously I need to learn to proofread also. lol. Cheers Billy.

[@AuctionIndiana]

Done Bang Boom! eeeh!!! , Looks Great!

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

Great system! I like it!!

[@ChippyOutdoors]

Hey buckin', have a "west Germany" on one side and 3.5 lbs on the other side head but no company stamp. Does that sound like something normal ? Dad found it in the bush this year

[@oldder1]

Morning one and all. I keep forgetting about hump day I have this feeling it should be more fun than the rest of the week!!! Have to get some stickers and place them on the machinery and around the farm lol.Bobinski its hump day!!!! .Welcome to any new subscribers glad you finally made it oh boy what a momentous decision you have made its the only place to be on youtube. So from the UK have a grand day and a even better week. Stay safe and warm .Lets get The channel growing even more, tell your friends tell the neighbours,drop a few hints in the supermarket queue ( hey have you seen that bucking Billy ray channel on youtube??? Better standing in it moaning about how long it takes to pay from meat pie lol .

[@markadlawanjrp]

Bobinski Brooks hello was curious what tool that was you used to seat the round wedge like that?

[@dolsen1975]

have you ever seen a metal wedge come up?

[@lukejudkins491]

Hi buckin' love the video

[@mr.mrs.pathfinder668]

6,001 SUBS! Have you tried soaking prior putting the wedges in to minimize the wood cracking? Maybe put just the wood sticking out the top in some boiling water for 5 or 10 minutes. Mr.P

[@larryduttry9400]

Actually water damages the wood fibres and makes them much weaker on a handle. It makes sense to soak it to help but it actually causes the cells to fracture in the wood. That's why if you have a loose handle don't soak it, when it dries it gets worse, drill out the old dried wedge and reseat the head and put a new wedge in, and oil it up so it can't get water in and won't dry out as bad. That's the stuff I saw when I was researching anyway :) I hope you pathfinders are doing well and keeping warm! Oh and did ya get that lil Husqy 445 fired up yet?

[@mr.mrs.pathfinder668]

Larry Duttry Thanks for the info! You think soaking it in BLO before putting in the metal wedge would help with the cracking? Yeah, we got it fired up! Mrs. P even dug into a log with it. I'll get her comfortable with sharp loud things one of these days, haha!

[@timd960]

Nice one. The big 6k. 💥 boom 💥

[@MrChesterbishop]

I like that axe gorgeous,

[@mikeblumer4553]

Do you like the round metal wedge better than the flat wedge ?

[@larryduttry9400]

I have tried both and the round wedges are a better design, they spread the wood 360 deg around itself in an even fashion, the flat stepped wedges just kinda split everything. And I have had them back out. The round do seem to hold more pressure on everything. I hope this helps, I am sure Buckin will give you his 2 cents too, he sure knows what he's talking about eh?!

[@loadeddog8015]

Larry Duttry .....appreciate your input LD , it helps us all. thumbs up mate 🖒

[@larryduttry9400]

Loadeddog k thank you very much I am glad if I could help any of you guys!! You take care friend.

[@robertmcclanahan7936]

You do good work buckin, inspire me every day buddy. What does a carpenter from ohio have to pay to get his hands on one of your axes? I would love to support your channel and your lifestyle

[@wadewittman8510]

[@ryanemerry]

You're a freaking natural ax maker! You should have lived in an early 20th century logging camp! Over and out Woodman!

[@MrChesterbishop]
