Buckin, you are Special. You do as you say. Knowing this puts you in a category most speak of, but rarely achieve. God Bless.

Having a hard day today trying to figure out how to install new electric in my house. It’s nice to come to this channel it brings me peace. Thank you Buckin and Thank you to this community.

Years ago, my grandfather had some selective logging done on the family farm. The company that did the job left anything under 10” on the selected trees. There were a few others that had to be felled to make room to fall the selected ones. Needless to say, we had a lot of firewood to process. I spent countless hours limbing with an axe, while he ran the chainsaw. There really is a right and wrong way to do it, and a truly sharp axe is a beautiful thing to work with. My personal worst felling experience was a 12” diameter hickory, felled with an estwing camp axe. Not a bad tool for limbs, but not a great fallers axe. The blisters ran deep, and took weeks to erupt. Before anyone says it wasn’t sharp…..that axe could shave hair. Was finished on a 9micron belt, then stropped to 25K diamond paste, and the finally on clean leather.

Swinging an axe is one of the best feel in the world.

Hi all from Ontario! Nice video Buckin' love and kindness to all

Love watching you display your skills. On different types of wood, in different weather conditions,& especially with the axe that fits the task. Stay safe, healthy, warm, blessed,& productive.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

I keep watching Buckin and I keep getting amazed. You are a natural born woodsman....your comfort zone is swinging that axe like it had a laser beam on it. Thanks for sharing my brother!

that Helko is an absolute weapon of a chopper!!! like a hot knife through butter

Good morning mr. Buckin, I am just getting back to comment. Billy I sure wish we lived closer. If for nothing else but to just come over and B S . Your chopping axe is a fantastic tool. And as always you swing it well. I Look forward to seeing you and everyone else on your live feed today sunday. Love Wins .

That took me back fifty years when you were splitting the piece of wood with 32 degree edge and gave it the "Flicker" description of the technique. My PaPa taught me that and I shall never forget him or the work skills he taught me . True and I miss him and his son who passed before him . I carry on . God keep their souls . Rest well, the men I'm from .

Love it brings me back to when that's all I had when I was younger chopped alot of trees! And still love to split wood keep up the good work buckin

It’s been my observation that the more simple and less numerous the tools of a particular task, the more critical the technique. You make this all look so simple, while subtly revealing deep complexity.

Such an example of POSITIVE energy! Surrounding yourself with people of billys kind is addictive, productive and a blessing for ones mental and physical health.

Love axe work, its like sailing or horseback riding. You just get in the zone and forget all your worries. Thanks man

Love watching you haft axes. Im just learning and getting into it. Your tips have been very helpful!

hi buckin and army of kindness, hope you all have a great day!

Watching an axe be built… Fantastic! Watching an axe chop…. Priceless!

Great video and what a great axe

Watching a man cut wood is so simple, but watching a professional do it Is satisfying. I'm a roofer and u can appreciate when somebody's doing the craft. Would love to work beside you one day. From Darryl in the 🇬🇧. Would love a axe by the way. Love your work give my love to the family

Good morning Buckin. I do love me some AXIN, although I'm pretty out of shape, it's so much fun swinging a nice axe to get the ole blood pumpin. Good day brother

Buckin: “That’s about 12” of wood” What guys are thinking: That’s what she said !

Hey buckin I just subscribed around a month ago and I love your channel! I’m from Pa, but I love Canada

The original axe man! Buckin billy ray!!!

5:22 right on the money!

One day I’m going to see if I can buy an axe off of you. Once I’m back on my feet. Just love the knowledge and positivity you have!

4:54 I may be immature, but the end of that axe handle is.. hilarious to me

Hi from England 👊

I have no idea how to properly choose an axe or cut a tree, but you make it look easy and it’s a relief for me when you take those big ass trees and turn them into matches.

Beautiful,prophetic.

Great Video, thanks for sharing

True Hard working blue coller

Looking at how amazing this axe is, really makes me want to see buckin with one of the axes they use in the championships, like in the stihl timbersports.

There is no such thing as "humble axe". In your hands, Billy, it will become a vainglorious axe !

Buckin seperating literal boards of wood in the first 10 seconds of the video makes whatever advice he has for sharp axes immediately considered a fact

Razor sharp axes, In the right hands thanks buckin for this therapy

your Making me feel guilty for not getting enough work done today !! Keep On Buckin !! Loved the Axe !

hey buckin and the army i get 2 days of buckin blown down trees and got a nasty axe cant wait have a good day everybody

Thank you for another awesome video

Those axes are amazing

Love watching ya swing those axes BR….Now get one of those in these hands 👍😎 This 60yo is ready to get in shape

"OL PAPA BUCKIN' could be a real THREAT in the TimberSports Series with his MAC and helKo!!! 🦁 KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!! OR FERN GULLY!!!

People seeing their way thru life rather than feeling there way with their Hearts. The Hearts knows only Love.. be wary the Human Mind.

The Buckin Timber Sports!

Great chopper!!

You my friend motivate me to another level. 🤙

Flickaroony 😃😃👍👍

And I've never seen a handle end like on that German axe looks very comfortable and fitting

Great vid buddy, the technique along with your ever present words of inspiration are a blessing... and the one in a million chip hitting the camera, great shot! Thanks again and careful around that sharp tool, wow! MAGKD!

Hi Buckin'! I gotta tell ya, there's dozens of guys re-hanging axes on Y/T, and every one has to cut paper, shsve his arm, and split or chop wood when he's done. But YOU, almost alone & a couple others, truly look like you know what you're doing with one! Some of these poor yay-hoos make me cringe, looking to soon amputate body parts! Meanwhile, you "just" go about limbing trees, felling same within a gnats butt of where it's meant to drop, and knocking out the most impressive "chips" ever seen when you choose to put your powersaw in the truck! Compared to you Bro., the rest ARE pretenders! Nice vid too! For self-taught you've impressive skills there as well! Anybody new to this channel, just happening to read this - please stick around! Our host is only gettin started with his woods-manship! He's also a gifted Preacher of the value of loving our fellow man and living it daily. Welcome aboard!

sharp axe!....thanks 4 video. be kind.

what a quincadence i was just watching ben scot on choppin axes and later your on hmmm

I want that axe, I like how the handle isn't super long like the hardware store axes, gotta stand 6 ft back with those things

That felt good didn’t it? She is a chopper for sure. Loved it. 💪✌️

That was some nice chopping.

11:56 I was about to ask you about getting hurt from the axes. Thank you.

Anyone new to swinging an axe… I fully recommend a pair of steel toe boots and some good thick pants if not chaps as well, a sharp axe can do some REAL damage to you and if you’re alone in the woods that can be a bad deal.

Axe chopping videos. All good.

Nice chopping sir....

U R a hard worker

Hi Buckin' - I'm restoring my father's axe and my grandfather's axe. Both are double bit and great splitters.I don't have much opportunity to fell or buck but want them up to the task when I can. Is there an optimal angle for each side that you would recommend? One has a 34-1/2" handle. The other is 35-1/2". Sure wish I could attach pictures. If I remember right one of them is what you called a hot rod. Hope you see this. Love your videos and your take on life. I very much appreciate what you give to the community.

God bless you Billy Ray ! Seen you on ax men today .

For some reason, I prefer to limb with an axe than the chainsaw, even if the chainsaw is faster. But I'm not on a schedule, I just cut trees to clean up the yard and limb those, then cut them up for campfires. So speed is not needed.

My grandfather had a logging compainy many years ago some of his crew used ax and 2 mans saws power saws were exspencive few used them

15 degrees inclusive means 7.5 dps, that’s is a VERY lean grind for an axe… nearing knife grind territory. Hence why it cuts like a laser.

Get er done!

I shall buck some wood now.

The fact you can hit in the same spot makes a big difference .

@4:45. What an absolute banger!

Hi Buckin. Hope all is well. Been absent for a while as my dad is not doing well. Just thought I’d stop by and say hello. I got a lot of catching up to do on your videos. Take care.

nice exercise!!

My rule is with a heavy axe don't swing for the fences. A lighter axe you can control easier so you can use a bit more force.

That's a nice chopping axe

Try watching the shining before axing my friend. Here's Jonny 😆 lol

Billy is that Hogans Tuatahi racing axe from New Zealand ... I've got the working model ..looks the same

Six million dollar man sound effects !

11:13 "Lotta guys wanna get out there and give'r in the bush, and I, I want you to too...Believe me I do." Wait are we still talking about working in the forest with axes or somthin else there brother!?!?!? Haha ha.

Is your Helko a Tasmanian pattern? If so, it's somewhat thinner than mine. I have a Helko Tasmanian, it's tool weight is 6 1/2lbs, and it's a super special tool to me. It's great at chopping, and it also splits like a beast and doesn't stick except in the hickory I've been splitting. I can also do the pick up a piece of wood trick with it. It's been my favorite Tazi pattern thus far. Keep up the good spirit!🤘

Now just imagine the time when men built homes and barns with nothing but hand tools!

I love liming the maples with an ax I find that I can go along faster this way.

Buckin I apologize I meant to hit the like button but I accidentally hit dislike and it instantly said “feedback shared with creator”. I love your videos, and I’m sure you won’t notice but keep doing exactly what your doing. You’re amazing, god bless ♥️

Took me 15 seconds to figure this dudes from Canada. Only Canadians can gut moose and split wood and still talk like mom.... Just be nice just love your brother smile and do yee chores.

Hey Buckin, if you like to be impressed by a very thin bladed Axe i can recommend the Müller Biber in Canada or Europe Pattern. I use it for nearly a decade and its very good. The Blade is the thinnest Blade currently manufactured worldwide at 5 mm (⅕ Inch) tickness, measured 50 mm (1,9 inch) away from the edge. I would love you to swing it in a video, take care! -Luca

Holy Cow, somehow I just landed on this channel , end up watching this man chop those woods like it nothin,I know nothing about about woodcraft but Inow I wanna know more about it after watching this video, whatr kinda axe is that anyway?

How do you make your ax handles? You made a video but i cant find it. Would love to make longer ones for myself.

That axe cuts like a Japanese ‘Katana’, OMG.

That axe is scary!!
