@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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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 😉😉

Love your positive attitude, thanks from Seattle.

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.🌲❤🌲✊

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

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!

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 . 🙏

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

I think the wrap looks fantastic Buckin!!!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

Wow buddy! Beautiful! Thank you for the wrap!

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Great work Rita!!!

I like it. Function is the way to go.

"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.

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

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

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!

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.

This is a great help my friend. Thank you 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 ❤️🌎🌏🌍❤️

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

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

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

In scouts we called that whipping.

Great way to wrap the handle! Thanks.

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

Fantastic video as usual

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

Love your energy and your Spirit 🙏

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.

Awesome work Mr Smith. Take care

Mornin everyone!!

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.

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

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

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

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Buckin up big love u show I watch it everyday

hi. its looking good that wrapping on the ax.

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.

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

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

Thank you for the video

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

Buckin, you are amazing.

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!!

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.

Beautiful work, genius, thanks for sharing this info

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

Great video buckin keep em coming buddy

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!!!

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.

Little Buckin is the quality control manager 🕵️‍♂️

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

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

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Great job, Buckin'!

You are a real life super hero!

I use the Pull Cord by TrueBlue , its a Heavy Duty Starter Rope "Pull Cord" Its Black with Blue Diamonds, Its 9/64" diameter High Wear Resistant, Low Stretch, High Tensile Strength, and Remains Softand Flexible. I buy it in 100' Ft Roll. Thanks Billy for another Great Video.

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

We call that 'whipping' it stops the ends of hawser laid ropes from unravelling. I use line made from man made fibres and I melt the end before I pull it into the whipping. If its still hot when you pull it in, the end should stick to the inside of the whipping. Well done Buckin' - another great vid.

Good morning Buckin!!

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

another thing to mention because i use this wrap a lot is to put some clear gorilla glue over it so the cord softens the blow but the glue makes it last longer. i did it on my user and 2 years later it is still there through very heavy use

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

i just tried this on an old wood handled chisel and it came out great.

That's a good job! But i couldn't make my cord so tight maybe because of different material or maybe because i did my handle too smooth, i don't know... It kept sliding off so i went for reverse "polarity" and it all stayed together.
