I can't tell u how hard I laughed when I looked up and saw Buckin playn the drums with the dust mask on!!🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❣ Thank u Buckin! Big Love to the Army❣❣ ✌❤

Play them drums more often. If you do, they won't collect enough dust to require a respirator! And it does help to take care of yourself as you get older. Being closer to 70 than I am to 60, I found things getting harder and harder to do. Last fall, when I had to resort to a wood splitter to put up my firewood, I decided that I needed to change my lifestyle. So, I lost 65 pounds, got off all my meds, and took control of my life. I feel much younger, have higher energy, and even started rehanging all of my old axes! Never did that before, but watching you gave me the desire to add a little more of myself to my work. I used to just set an axe aside when the handle had issues. Buying a new one is fun, a man can never have too many axes, but rehanging one yourself puts a little of you into it. It puts life back into an old axe, but puts even more back into an old man! So, Buckin', don't let time creep up on you. Pay attention and remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. A man letting himself slide robs so much from his life. Taking care of yourself is a full time job, and if you do it right it can still be fun. Saws and axes are a part of that. I'm here to tell you. Keep up the good work! I love your videos! Carry on.

Gosh I love watching Buckin making an axe! They’re just something lovely about it! What a man!

Thanks again for the quality video and intertainment. I'm 52 years young same as you and I'm 2 years without alcohol. Now losing some weight as well , I feel great. And thanks for letting us know about the Harmless Farmer . He is truly inspiring, thanks again my friend. B

Bad day turned good right here on this channel and reading everyones positive comments! You should be proud of what you've done here in this community. Hope everyone has a nice day

I'm just learning how to haft an axe and hang vintage axe heads, diving in with both feet something just feels great about making one of the manliest tools. Buckin you are great for the world and better for the soul brother keep on keeping on!

The other day I just made my first axe handle from a block of wood

Billy We all needed this today. Thank you for the video's!

He boss man my name is Jay small and just wanted to say God bless you and thanks for everything you do. Love the channel keep up the good work

Some of the nicest wood grain that i have seen on any handle anywhere. Hand rubbed oil to expose the veins of the grains takes away the pains of daily life and gives us an appreciation for the simple detail and creates a true natural work of art.

Watching any videos buckin makes for a great day

That is absolutely fine ax. You have that knack. Thanks for going the extra mile and not settling for ok.

You are off the Buckin hook, Billy! Wow!

G'day Buckin and friends, you get a wonderful sense of achievement when you make your own handle from scratch 👍.

Great job buckin. I hand make all my knives and your right. There is nothing better than hand made. Stay safe and god bless.

It doesn’t get old , handmade handle on an old axe head. That wood bullet is going to be something special.

Hey Buckin and Army. What a beautiful Axe this one is! Nice job on making it right from a board! Much love and keep dropping that weight 🙏🪓🌲

Buckin Billy Ray could easily sell one million Axes. He knows his wood and the perfect splitting Ax to build. This Ax would be therapy for my torn right shoulder rotor joint. The best? Is watching Buckin throwing an Axe and hitting his target and sticking the Axe in the wood. The Kindness he radiates is fuel for the human race. We have a chance to survive

Hey buckin.. All the way from the lower 50 Alabama Love your videos.

I like it as well. All your videos are great.

Hey Buckin, When you take pride in what you do, people will watch!

That axe handle has some BEAUTIFUL gain on it. Very well done!!

Weer een prachtig bijl 💥🤩👍 Groetjes uit Holland 🥰👋🏼🌹

great to see you hafting again! I just assembled a prehistoric bearded axe head on a teak handle...wanted to show ya . Thanks for always inspiring my man!

What a great build!!! I just love watching every detail that you go over. Thank buckin!

Hey buckin, just wanted to say I mastered the flick technique. It helped watching your videos and how you explain it. And boy the flick technique really tests your wedging! I have to re wedge two axes.

Love the content. You did a handle for my brother(Life in the 906) on my grandfather’s ax. Thanks for all you do.

Kept teasing us with all pictures of it. I was like come on just smash some wood with it already. Lol

PT with Buckin'... slayin' the skins in a respirator! I love it!

Love to watch you make each axe. They are all a little different. So interesting to see how each one turns out. Then watching you split with that axe is the real treat. Great work. Thanks! 👏

Just started making my own handles, just finished #6 last night. Learned alot from watching you. Thanks Buckin!

Love your craftsmanship there's not too many around that can do that type of stuff anymore my grandfather had a great act for it you just thought good memories back I'm watching you Billy

Would love to have that axe. Been watching you for years, mainly started because you run Macs. Was super stoked when you mentioned that head being from Charleston. Born and raised in and around Charleston my whole life. Awesome piece.

Billy super duper video . The axe turned out beautifully .loved how you sorted out the little dink awesome. Gives it even more character lovely

I have an oak handle entirely made by myself at October 2020 and it has much bigger cracks, finished just with linseed oil (we do not have Watco here). Still works, doesn't fall apart.

Great video and beautiful axe. You have a wonderful spirit.

Awesome fittmenship buddy,great job Billy

SHUHHHH-KLANKUH !! lol Love ya Buckin! Stay safe.

Beautiful axe. Great job Billy. Looks like it wants to work now.

Great time watching you make that axe Buckin. I spent my life as a cabinetmaker and furniture builder. Often times when you cut your stock up there are fine checks in the the end pieces when you cut your wood up. It is always good to cut six inches off the end of your wood before you get started. You are doing an amazing job on those handles. I am sure proud of your work and the skill you have with a drawknife. They are not an easy tool to master and keep sharp. You are the best axe builder I have ever seen. Love you brother!

Great looking axe Buckin. I love how you burned the grain to bring it out.

I truly love watching you build access you are fantastic at building axes

The blue oval with F O R D on it is really cool Buckin'.

I'm becoming A soldier of kindness because of you!!!

Its been a long time seeing you in the bunker. Im a straight handle guy myself but that axe is something different. Well done!!

Buckin' I love your videos, you got me into splitting my own firewood for my pizza oven, and boy lemme tell you, it's a great workout. Keep doing what you're doing and spread the love!

Had me rollin playin drums with the mask on lmao

Thanks for posting the axe build. Really enjoy seeing the Process that goes into it. I would love to buy one of your axes someday. Anyway have a great rest of your day!

Great axe 🪓 Great repair 🪓🎯 Bark to ya !!! Kindness and love

Great video! I enjoy watching a true master craftsman at work. Keep them coming.

Thanks big dog for all your tips..learning so much from your help. We all like getting in are sheds and making something buddy 👌

Buckin could be in a movie with that mask playin on them drums

Freaking BUCKIN love ya brother

That axe is spot on. Super special buckin❤️👍

#8 good morning billy loved watching your show on tv so I’m happy I just found your channel last week because I really in joy watching what you do so thank you so much for taking the time to make them for just to watch and learn

Making my own handles is something I love doing too

your not to shabby on them drums brotha!!!

Such awesome craftsmanship in shape and burn on the handmade handle combined with a great piece of steel...an axe I’d swing all day!

Great build buddy. Thank you for taking the time to show us your handy work with board to handle. Such craftsman and woodsmanship I love it. Thank you Buckin. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓

That came out beautiful! 👌

Great video! I just recently acquired an old Union Tool Co. axe head out of Charleston, WV for $5. Which is really cool because I live in WV. I can’t wait to bring thus axe head back to life.

Beautiful!

Great fit, looks just like mine.

good job Buckin...thanks 4 video. be kind.

Lookin good, nicely relaxed and happy !

Looks awesome Buckin! Would love to have an axe like that!

Turned out great, Buckin!

Goooooood morning Buckin Army!!! Let's RIPPA this day up! Much love friends!

Theres just something about hanging out in the bunker with BBR. THERE JUST IS. cheers!

Just because you can shave with a ax doesn't mean you should... Always the right tool for the job😁

What a perfect fit the eye and the wedge you wouldn't get a hair between them love it.

gotta love a good bunker day

it'll be a "time are good and i have money to splurge" but i will one day commission myself a buckin billy ray axe if you're still doing them when that time comes!!!! love your videos. recently new viewer, probably a month or so.

Billy! Recently joined the community. Your videos are ruining my academic career! hahaha Super appreciate you and your unrelenting positivity. I'm stuck in the 'big stink' (Vancouver) and watching you makes me miss living on the Island. It is a magical place. Ever thought of creating a secondary 'clips' channel? Having shorter videos would really help me get more school work done :)

Good good video nice axe love'd it

Pure inspiration 👍

Great video and love the passion for axes and preserving the past. I often trim some of the excess handle that is proud of the eye in order to full seat the wedge. Then a final cut or sand to finish. Just what I do.....maybe give it a try and see if it works for you. Stay positive.

Whooee that came out purdy! Nice handle, nice vid and what a lot of amazing positive people in the comments. Also: good move with breathing protection on the drums, a fellow can’t be too careful. 😂😂😂

I'm just amazed at the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of axes and chainsaws and tolls to work on them/make them that he has acquired

Great looking axe

Sweet axe! Great job on the handle too. I'm also a big proponent of a sharp axe and always get rid of the speed bump. Don't matter how long it takes either. When I'm done with my axes I can literally shave with em. I usually do the file and folding shop towel routine and finish the edge with whetstones. Can take all frickin day to do one axe head, but the results are well worth the effort. To me anyway lol.✌

Hey Billy, I do my best work in the dark!!!!! 😂😂😂🤜🤛

Thanks for introducing me to the Harmless farmer

it is an physical impossibility to watch Buckin's video and not have a stupid smile on.

I needed your enthusiasm buddy! I missed the live we was on the road... by the way buddy amazing work as always your one of a kind friend!

Lots of love Buckin you are nuts. Welcome new comers you will enjoy the one man show. Nice axe Buckin i just finished Mr. Miyagi double bit and Ms Nancy a 4lb single bit I'd like to show yoy n hear what ya thinks of my meddlings

Nice.😆 beautiful! !!!!!!😲😲😆

That’s a damn nice axe

New sub. Love the drum break! 😆 awesome! I have a couple axe heads I found metal detecting that I would like to try to restore. Looks fun!

When I was young, I carried an axe handle in my car as an attention getter and persuader.

Good morning family its a beautiful day here in Calgary Alberta hopefully you all have a wonderful day!!!

Nice job,awesome channel. I have to tell ya tho, I have george Washington’s original ax passed down to me , yes the one that he used to chop down the cherry tree. Of course it’s had 2 new heads and 3 new handles.

Nice work!!

Season check is what we called them. Or honey comb. If the lumber was in a dry kilm.

Superb.

Thanks for the uploads, Buckin'! 🙃 I'm staying kind.

Thank you for the video

That would look good in my WC Kelly collection... Charleston WV is just down the road from me..👍🏻🤘🏻🪓

I subed yesterday and love your videos cuz they have stuff im interested in and you are funny

I think you may find a shaving horse will ease and improve your draw knife efforts. Keep on keeping on.
