I love how when you saw him struggling with the spokeshave, you got this twinkle in your eye and I could SEE it.. you had a look "I get to teach Victor something today" Then you took the tool and showed him exactly how you do it. I guarantee he learned a couple things. I usually do when I watch you. That's the thing I appreciate about you most. You love to teach. Thank you.

I don't use an ax as much as I used to. Age got me. But lots of folks around here and myself would wrap a thick layer of cowhide around the handle where it meets the head. Had a guy do mine. He put one layer around the bottom, like saddle. Then another all the way up the sides and laced it with a leather thong. He soaked it in varnish to protect the leather and let it dry. It was light and it worked!! Never broke a handle again.

Buckin, I’ve watched you for more than 10yrs. Always good info. For the last 50 +yrs I have mixed a 50/50 mix of linseed oil and paint thinner in a pint jar and painted (slopped, until it runs off) as much onto all of my wooden handles used or not, as possible yearly, it extends the useful life of the implement handle. I keep them under cover. The paint thinner thins the linseed oil and allows much penetration, the paint thinner will evaporate leaving the linseed oil to harden keeping the moisture out. I even paint the implement head, which keeps it from rusting. Keep up the excellent work.

Great resurrection, linseed oil and varnish , great idea . I use linseed oil on axe handles , shovel handles and cricket bats , it's a grand product . Great video 👍🇬🇧

man I tell ya you have rekindled a passion I have had since is was about 14 in classic chain saws and axes so thanks for that

Man just waking up out of shower with first drip of coffee in coffee cup,,,black,,and that song that starts with vid falling trees,,,felt like bliss, lil bit oh heaven ✔✔⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯

I always feel better after I watch a BBR video,thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks to your inspiration, i hauled four axes out of my garage closet this week. Started sanding, de rusting, oiling and planning a handle refurb. Left my gas splitter in the garage and got a few whacks in too...... yearning for more..... thank you!

Awesome restoration you fellas did there!!! I'd take that over a brand new axe any day of the week and twice on Sunday👌👌 that'll you to everyone who has helped to make this channel what it is!! It doesn't go unnoticed😊 love to you and the family😊

That's quality work! Great job!

It's always makes me feel better when I can help out a friend to fix up something he has😁💪🏻😁💪🏻

What a beautiful job! I cant think of a better way to spend an afternoon, helping a friend and having fun bringing new life to something that needed some TLC.

Mr Johnny B and George Vinson, thank you both for your presence and contributions to this stellar group of hippy dancers WELL DONE

Hey Buckin, thanks for the steady hand at spreading kindness. Great to be back watching your message. Be well friend

Finding myself going back and watching your old videos, you associate with good wholesome people and make good wholesome content, thanks buckin.

Nice job on the axe guys! Inspires me to go give some love to my 2-1/2 Cougars ..just goes to show.."things are not always as they seem" and even an old dried out axe handle can be resurrected. That hour is a sweetheart lying on his back on the road..to cute!

Wow what a difference you made to that axe..luv ya BUCKIN...victor much respect matey👍🏼😎

Mike Morgan sent me your way. Love your channel. You're a real inspiration and a good reason to laugh...

Nice job Victor and Buckin, you guys work well together🌲🌲🌲🌲 have a great rest of the weekend all....

I have a long handled shovel that I owned for like 30 years\, never did any maintenance on it, handle dried out and cracked, but because of Buckin I gave it like 6 coats of the big W and the handle is solid, cracks completely filled and I've left it out side for a few years now with no further maintenance and it is still solid.

This was one of my favorites yet. Great video Billy and Victorious. I need to find one of those Arvicas down here in the SC.

Thank you billy this is another great video i love it stay kind

Great job. I learned a lot

Man, you are a joy to watch and learn from.

Mad respect to the trees. I love em. Humbling to see them fall. Let the wood be a blessing.

First time I’ve heard of Watco. I’ll look into it. I’m new to axe refurbishing so I used what I had on hand. I used some pine tar. Heated up the handle with a torch. Rubbed it in. Then a light coating of beezwax. Lasted for years and years. And the best smell ever eveytime you use it. Thanks for the channel. Would love to see a special on that CJ-7 in the background.

I just found your channel, it's 1;30 am,when I get done watching this video I'm going to garage to grab a old axe. Love you guys.

Great work on that axe, looks awesome!

I found this channel just looking thru some tree work videos and I was hooked since the first one I saw coming at you from Charleston South Carolina

Vic be nice to the axe in the future. It deserves love man. Cool dog. It really enjoys the life at "buckin' ham palace". And speciel thanks to Sven for being supervisor on the project.

Awesome buckin' another great video brother. Idk how it took me so long to find your channel but boy am i glad i did its quickly become my favorite i found myself going straight to it rather than flipping thru randon powersaws and axe woodsman type videos with your channel i get all that and a healthy dose of positivity to pass on to the folks i may encounter. Thank you buckin'.

Love watching your stuff man keep at it! I keep learning from watching what you do that's what it's all about keep it coming man you rock

Ahhhh. Watco. I thought you were saying “Wodka” 🤣

Catching up on some backlog of videos, i know I'll never see all of them... But i can try. During my restful moments i can watch my tiny little hand held TV (my phone) and catch up on all things Buckin etc. I really enjoy the drumming etc etc etc Thanks for sharing your life Buckin. You are a star to the many subscribers.

Man, I love the intro, pinball on a max level. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Chain reaction at a level few would conceive. 😎😎😎

Hey buckin, I hope this finds you well my friend. I'm new to the channel from the uk but about to move to New Zealand. I have been a climbing arborist for around 5 years. I have been going through a patch of not enjoying my work but your channel has revived my love for the job. I have got to get my self an axe when I get to new Zeland in September. Stay safe my friend and thank your for the content you produce.

Buckin man - I like how you are rocking the cross-buttoned shirt ---- keep bangin and felling ...... heaps of kindness up your way !!

it's always nice to see victor in your videos , and boy can he swing an axe ,aye buckin .

Shout out to you two fine gentlemen for helping this channel that I have come to enjoy so much and made a part of life. Jon Bernstein and George Vinson thank you. I hope all the new subs are finding this channel just as special as i do. Good health and happiness to you all. Cheers

Nice button up job Buckin' and nice work on the axe too.

Love the content Buckin, keep it up buddy!!! (Watching ya from Nova Scotia)

Good video on how to secure an ax handle. You ought to ask your lovely wife or daughter if you can borrow a mirror from time to time to unsure your buttons are lined up with the buttonholes. Don't want to offend the fashion police. :-)

The hippie dance is just the best! 😃 Thanks Buckin

👏👏👏👏nice job

Hey Billy I love your channel bud keep it up. I’m a tree guy from Oakland County Michigan. I have a brother in arms that I served with in a combat infantry company during operation Iraqi freedom about a decade ago. He’s also a tree guy out of Vermont. We both are company owners who share the passion of tree work. We both make the long 15 hour trip from state to state to reunite to do tree work and learn from each other. Our brotherhood was forged in the fire of combat and our passion for tree work is one I know you understand. All that being said We are due to go out to his neck of the woods this November and I think it would be great if I could perches one of your beautiful axes for him. Maybe get one for myself as well. Just because I couldn’t let him out due me lol. How would I go about making this a reality? Thanks a bunch and stay safe bud.

Thanks sir john and George

That message at the end Billy. C'mon man. How'd ya know that's just what the world needed?

HOWDY BUCKIN' That axe is looking real nice now. Victor see, Victor do 😄 KEEP ON CHOOGLIN' FELLERS

This was the vid that hooked me to the channel. I thought, who is this hippy dancing, Watco drinking, wedge pounding, crazy guy?! It was in my suggested videos on the side. I have been hooked ever since. (think it was May 2018 when I subbed.)

Love the hippie dance man
