@2:57 “There are no rules in life...only experience.” great message

The wrap technique you use is called a "whip wrap". It is also used when wrapping an archery bow string, or to finish the end of a rope to prevent fraying. I am sure you know this, but some of your viewers may not.

Buckin’. You’re a good man. The energy. The entertainment. Your teaching. Your Reflection on Life. It’s all Good. I will wrap. And it too will be good. Well, we’ll see about that. Thank you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Steve. Plymouth, MA

Always finding myself coming back to this video Buckin! Prefer this video over all the others. Hope you guys have a great memorial day if you guys celebrate it or not if not hope the weekend is good!

I’ve been watching the channel for a while now and loving it! With all the tips and tricks I’ve learned I have been able to take my grandpa’s old 3 1/2 pound GBA and turn it into a beautiful axe that I’ll cherish forever. Thank you!

Every time bucking gets excited he sounds like rowdy rody pipper! Its the best i get axes and pippers pit at the same time

You are absolutely amazing!!! thank you so much for sharing this with us, I wrapped my axe that I made with my dad 3 times and it kept coming undone, now there is now doubt it's staying. Thank you so much buckin

You are a master Billy thanks for all your help. God Bless from the US!

First video I've seen from this channel. I am ADHD and you made it easy to watch a 20+ minute video about wrapping a handle. I couldn't hit subscribe fast enough.

Same way I used to put guides on on my hand built fly rods back in the day! Love it! Have a great day!

This is such a great addition to any axe, wall hanger or everyday user. Love it Buckin Thank you. Sweet axe I'm sure the recipient will love it. The Buckin Special is beyond Special. I Love Ya Brother Buckin. Thank you all for making this donation happen.🌲❤🌲✊

So upbeat, energetic, positive, caring. AWESOME, great job.

Kindness + charity with your confidence + competence = Beautiful Buckin BR! ... thanks buddy and hello to all new and legacy subs.. Happy Thanksgiving and thankful for your benevolence to those organizations! ... MAGKD!

Love your positive attitude, thanks from Seattle.

Buckin good morning. I use the same type of wrap on handles. I use Starbrite super glue, thin, to secure the wrap. It is like water and flows into the threads, there is no need to loosen the threads it will go straight through to the wood. Oh and don't grab it with your hands before it sets. I was splitting wood for two days before it let of of my hand 😉😉

How could anyone possibly not love this man? All the best for you and your family!

I am glad that you are getting back into shape again. God Bless

I'm loving this channel, the stories, the information awesome. You are one really cool guy. Best wishes from Ireland.

I love your content Buck’n and thanks for the useful instructions! I also know a man that has grace and gratitude in his heart and soul and just wants to leave this world a little better than he found it . 🙏

Thanks buckin just wrapped my new axe. Love your energy keep going

Buckin I saw this string whipping you did on this handle and I was so glad! I hung a small rigging ax head years ago and it became damaged. I saw a small crack appear and thought if I reinforce the handle this way, it should last until I’m done! Thanks BBRS.

Great video thanks for sharing! Ever try wetting the cord first? It stretches when wet and once it dries it will further tighten up 😎

You have amazing energy brother keep up the good work...thank you

Thanks Buckin, for sharing. And thanks for spreading good will.

Your a great man! Also a great father and family man by the way you conduct yourself! Keep up the great content and best of luck with everything!! Enjoy thanksgiving and Christmas!

I think the wrap looks fantastic Buckin!!!

Beautiful ending to a beautiful video!! The great thing about this, is that even though we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving, this is the spirit of this man and this channel year round. 🙏 Love and blessings to all comrades and you subscribers ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪 Lieutenant Bradley

Wow buddy! Beautiful! Thank you for the wrap!

Good stuff Craftsmanship protecting a valued tool. Exposing the grain with flame and oil really makes it a beauty. You can do it differently and get different results but none better. Skills like this are no joke. Everyone should take a peeksy at a few Buckin videos and then realize why we watch and learn and support. A very kind and friendly guy who has evolved in a good way. Momma Buckin did a good job with this wild horse. We're glad she did.

You’re doing a great job at making people feel good.

Thank you! I’m Learning something New daily. I tried the paracord ...what a Hit. !!!! Cheers

Thank you Buckin! 🤟🏼 I'm always learning from your channel!! ✊🏼

Great video Billy! I sometimes use a liquid neoprene or a tool handle dip to finish off over the line for another look and extra durability!

First time watching one of this guys videos and it's awesome!!! Good job buddy!

That turned out really slick buckin! Definitely tough stuff! Love to you and the family❤️

I like your method, it's so good. I'm lazy so I've been using punctured dirtbike inner tubes. Cut out a section and slide it on.

Love this. Another great video, with another great message. Thank you Billy Ray. You're entertaining, informative and a force for good. I'm going to try wrapping my Gransfors with leather cord just to give it a little grip for carving. I'll use the same method and see how I get on. Best wishes from the UK!

The wraps are great Buckin. I started doing it to all mine. Stay safe and well everyone. Happy Thanksgiving Army and I given Thanks for Buckin. 👍✊

Buckin! May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams! I admire how you give to the down trodden and vulnerable. What a great thing your doing here. Great way to start my day friend. Thanks for you ❤️🌎🌏🌍❤️

I really enjoy your videos on axes makes me want to find old axe heads and I want to have an axe in every style

Awesome...good information, I can’t wait to try it...Thanks Bucken!

Buckin, you need your own tv show, this is both educational and hilarious!

Great way to wrap the handle! Thanks.

This is a great help my friend. Thank you Buckin.💪🌲😎👍

Love your energy and your Spirit 🙏

Awesome work Mr Smith. Take care

Great work Rita!!!

Congratulations Michelle. Billy you have the biggest heart of any one I know.

I like it. Function is the way to go.

Beautiful work, genius, thanks for sharing this info

"Super tight. Oh yeah!!" Lmao, dude I love the enthusiasm. I'm working on my step dads old pickaxe right now, it's an old one. The old style where you can just smack the head down and remove it from the handle. So I wanted to wrap the handle and make it a bit more secure. This was very helpful, thank you.

Fantastic video as usual

Billy, you're a maniac and I subscribed. That's no joke.

great vid buckin'!! that seal all is great stuff!! can't tell you how many gas tank leaks i've fixed with it! now i have another thing to do with it!!

I saw Rita's work it's worth a lot more. She is so talented. Like her parents. And Sherry

Man buckin you are the best all around guy that keeps it funny and uplifts people through your videos I watch you every morning before I go out to work (tree removal) and I have learned so much from ur videos let me tell yeah friend!!!! Is there a way I could send you a old axe my dad made? He has Parkinson's now and splitting wood was my first job I ever did for him and getting him axe like this would absolutely bless him

Good day to you Buckin. Love the axe wrap. Stay safe and healthy brother. God bless

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

You’re gonna make me buy one of those axes. Nice trick to protect the handle. 👍🏻

I love leaving this channel knowing that I have gained more knowledge.

You are a wild man. “Rap-a-roni”! Keep makin’ great Vids.

Good! !!!!! Morning! !!!!!😆 125 am here. Will watch tomorrow a little 😴😴😴😴😴😴😉😉😉

In scouts we called that whipping.

Buckin up big love u show I watch it everyday

Alternately, rather than using seal all, twist/snug the whipping up as tight as possible at the bottom then fully saturate all of the paracord top to bottom with a thin CA glue - it chemically converts/melts the sheathing and individual nylon strength cords inside the sheathing to a single piece of perfectly formed and EXTREMELY durable armor with outstanding impact and abrasion resistance. As an added benefit, BLO can be applied to both the handle and whipping after the fact to further re-enforce and condition both wood and wrap. I use this trick to make bulletproof overstrike collars for splitting axes and mauls. It works a treat, especially with some 5 to 7 millimeter sheet rubber and a wrap or two of hockey grip tape underneath to reduce impact transfer between whipping and handle.

Thank you for the video

Im doing exactly this on both my Gränsfors bruk axes, handmade from sweden ;) Thanks for video.

Love it, I'll have to try that sometime. I use a piece of rubber not too thick and electrical tape it to the axe in this same fashion. If done with care, it looks nice and get good stretch with the electrical tape. This is for my working axes to prolong the handle life as from time to time I get an off swing or the wood splits such that the rubber boot absorbs the impact of an undersplit. But...I like to try differant things and love the look you have created. Thanks for sharing Buck'n , and tell her...mention to her, be safe and careful. With the legs,shins, and feet. The Alaskan.. (Thanks Buck'n, your technique is beautiful. , owe, I also put a pc of masking tape across that sharp edge, as I don't trust myself, ah ha. Love it.) Very Nice.

I'd recommend wrapping all the way to the head. It looks better number one, but also overstrikes don't always happen because you miss the log. Sometimes the wood splits around your bit in an unpredictable way and so the overstrike can find its way right under the chin of your axe into the handle.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks for the gift of info,. “Wrapping a axe handle”. Love what ya do, Buckin.

You crack me up. Remind me of my grandpa when i was a kid. Going to try your cord wrap on my axe. 👍

hi. its looking good that wrapping on the ax.

Wrapparoni SF style. LoL 🤣🤣🤣 Man, that's so funny. Awesome vid, thanks!!

Great guy🤘🏻 Greedings from Germany! Your Videos make me feel good!

You’re a human’s human. Love your energy.

I may need to try this one out. Thanks Buckin’ 🙏🏻 you the man

I just tried it on my new handle and it looks nice and feels so nice on the hand that I also put it on the bottom of the handle.

Great to see ya brother! I have been wrapping with para cord for some time now. I do the same process, but instead of glue, I burn the cord off to cut it then use the heat to bond the wrap all the way up. Your glue is an easier process.

awesome axe...I am going to have to try wrapping my restored maul!

Great video buckin keep em coming buddy

Love axes and love your channel! Your passion for axes makes me appreciate my own that much more! Woke up a bit ago from a nightmare where I'm hacking the most muscularly toned mountain lion I've ever seen thats mauling a boy to death with my trusty axe and getting swaths of meat torn from my arm in the process then wake up, drink some coffee and watch you love on axes. Excellent start to a day. Have a feeling I ought to have my axe in hand on my hike in a couple hours.

Buckin, you are amazing.

You gave me a good idea, to refine my axe. I have several plumb axes. I want to wrap the handle on my plumb youth (boys) ave. By doing the wrap, it will protect the handle in its weakest area, and add a custom decorative look. Thanks.

Hey bucking keep it up you fantastic man you are the man the myth the legend

I agree on the Boys axe. I use myTT 2.25# boys axe as my wedge pounder and general woods axe when I am felling trees, bucking and limbing. It has a 28 inch does leg hickory handle in it. I will wrap it with para cord when I get a chance. I usually cut a piece of thick leather and lace it on the handle with leather to protect against over strikes.

Wow thank you for the information...

Mornin everyone!!

Good morning Buckin!!

hey buckin just wanna say even though i am faily new to the channel, i really apreciate what you ae doing and mybe one of theese days ill get to see ya in real life as speachless as i may be lol. keep up the good work and have a goodin

Great job, Buckin'!

hi buckin,i hope your jaw is feeling bit better, brother! nice wrap. i love that black and wihte shirt! you are a great guy! i wish you and your family a great day! #spiritfire

Im doing this RIGHT NOW to 3 of my axes! Im so excited😎😎

Just the info I needed as I just got my new German made sharp as H**L hatchet that I don't ever want to damage with overstrikes. THANKS!!!

Thanks BR!

Good thing you covered the blade first.

That...is super cool.

I’m teaching our 10 year old girl how to split wood. She has taken a real liking to it has a bit of an issue over stricken though haha. Actually just went to the hardware store this after noon and let her pick out her own handle and taught her how to set the head. Anyway I will be using this method on hers for sure for a little re enforcement just out of curiosity what cord are you using for the wrap? Thanks for the great videos been watching for years your a positive inspiration for many👍

Man that's awesome I wish I had one like that!!

You are a real life super hero!
