Perhaps the two most likable men on YT. It's so enjoyable to watch you two making content together. I'm glad Scott was able to head up to BC to hang with Buckin
Great job Billy, I am older than Scott, love your instructions and clear explanations. On my property have dropped 60 plus trees 3" to 18" with my Greenworks 40v 16" and MS 270 Stihl Farm Boss 18". FB it's getting a little heavy for me now. I started with a Vintage McColloch MAC 110 Chainsaw 10" Bar (brand new) when I was 21 years old and just out of the Army. Used it while fishing & camping with my first CJ-5 Jeep to cut up downed trees blocking Jeep roads from winter snows and downed trees for fire wood. Love your videos and Scotts Essential Craftsman's channels keeps this old guy entertained & still learning from both of you. Stay well & safe.
Billy it's refreshing that you & Scott had a great time, also you not mentioning the Notification, Subscribe and Thumbs-up. You know your audience. Power to you Mr Smith!
I haven't been watching Scott for too long, but he's a good General Contractor with lots of neat tips for the workshop, and nice stories. Good to see y'all working together for a bit
Hi Buckin that was awesome donating the press to a school. We so much need to get the trades back in the schools. Once the kids see who it came from the class will be filled. Especially with positivity ❤
Thankyou Buckin’ & Scott for a great video. I’ve never cut a tree down in my life so this video is SO fascinating to me because of the physics involved in dropping a tree…..and sizeable trees! Such a sketchy task at times😬
Mr Smith, you’re darn right. Once timber gets in the blood it’s there for life. My first memory is setting on the landing with my mom middle of summer 1989 (I was 3) and I remember watching a white Huey with a turn of logs under it come around a hill and my pops was chasing for that chopper. My uncle was on the other end hooking chokers. They were logging dunnage for the Exxon Valdez oil spill. I’ve been in the woods ever since. Once it’s in the blood, that’s where it says my friend.
Buckin, thank you again for your videos. I have always been a good faller. But your vids have confirmed a lot of things for me. I’m self taught. Went to the woods, bush for you guys, with limited experience. Your stuff has made me even better. Thanks from the heart.
Awesome to hear of another small town school implementing a hand crafting skill, and in MY HOME STATE EVEN!! Way to go Buckin! One of these days I hope to snag an axe or two from you for wedging and splitting. Keep up the great kindness and lets all be mindful and raise each other up.
"You are your problem, not the world" BBR! Ive never heard a more fitting phrase for the times we are living! I love the respect and humility portrayed by two masters of their trades yet still willing to learn !
Easily my two favorite RU-vidrs. Really great to see you two working together. The first thing I did was shoot both your and Scott's videos to my dad (one of the biggest students of "the University of RU-vid" I know). Keep up the good work guys!
You could tell EC wanted to bolt as soon as the big stick started to go 😁. Was probably trained up in the school of "six big steps". And talk about some cat-like quickness when you dodged your head away from that branch. You could play Neo in the next Matrix movie 😎💪
So true... I've been behind my whole life, never having a dad makes it harder but there's always so much work to do playing catch up it keeps life interesting, stay elevated everyone ❤️ ✌️
Life can be tough but when your are blessed to meet and have close friends it makes those rough times a little easier. Love you my brother and I am blessed to have you as a friend. 🙏♥️
@@martyrutter3630 thanks Marty your a good man , your kind words always lift my spirit, I'm very thankful for you and the buckin army too and proud to call you my friend. love you man Stay elevated dude ❤️ ✌️
No doubt God has given you a gift and has a call on your life. Most enjoyable and informative videos. I've got to learn and have been cutting for awhile. TX!
Liking and commenting before I even watch this. The Essential Craftsman and Buckin' Billy Ray, what's not to like? Gotta go, excited to begin my first view!
@therealmikerowe needs to have these two on his show sometime. I've learned so much from both of them, and many other RU-vid creators who are real experts in what they do, and being a cattleman I'm not an expert in anything but have to learn to do all sorts of things and RU-vid is a huge resource because of gentleman like these two.
That is so damn awesome that you sent that press to that school so those young people can learn an actual skill! We need way more education like that, and that's all I'll say about schools. Wish we'd have had something like that when I was growing up. You're about to hurt my wallet, because I want one of those Husqies so bad!
I'm teaching an Amish kid to fell. I use a compass (takes me 2 extra minutes but it's worth it). I never thought about rituals, just something I do that I was taught by a west coast faller.
Buckin awesome awesome stuff man keep it up buddy i just watched your video with your saw collection and man i only need one of your 10 10s lol im just starting out with a pro mac 55 with no muffler and a crapie black max hopefully ill have one soon love your content thanks so much learning everyday ty
It’s nice to see that the youth of today will get a chance to actually learn a skill in which they can create something. Too many of today’s youth dream of being gamers and RU-vidrs ( no offense) and don’t realize the the skill they learn in their youth will not only last a life time, but can also help them survive when times are tough. It was a good choice to donate to that school.
My boys and I went to Sutherlin high. Josh was there teacher and football coach small world the tool will get good use I have three nephews that will put there hand to use in the future! Thanks , Gary
Buckin he said (sutherlin) Oregon…. I grew up in (yoncalla) Oregon about 15 mins away. Spent lots of time in Sutherlin and chasing Sutherlin girls in highschool😂😂. That’s awesome
Buckin’ “We spoke of ritual…when you’re a young man feeding a family, the ritual starts, it’s not honed…you know what I mean?” Scott “Yeah, yeah yeah”. Buckin’ “like even things like my boots, and this, and you know, it’s all a ritual” Scott “Yeah, you’re just assembling the symbols of your ritual” Buckin “it’s true isn’t it?” Scott “Yes, yes it is…” There is great wisdom in this exchange and, I humbly submit, it is born of sacrifice in the service of others and the humility, respect, and hard work that must be born of such. Remember this, as a man steps up to the plate he realizes that his role is in the service of his family (of course), but also in the service of his fellow humans. And, that last part is critical AND sadly lacking in our discussions of what it means to be a man. Why? Because it is hard to do. And, make no mistake; real-men understand that sacred role does not depend on your ideology or your religion. Faith may inform and guide us, however that manifests, but the ideological divisions, divisions of color, or culture etc., they are just distractions from what matters and, in the end, its love. And man has great capacity to love others via his actions. Period.
I see cutters all the time even the ones that cut around me and they barely ever look up! even the old timers I tell them all the time, even though they have twice the experience as me. LOOK UP! I have been at it about 15 years almost and I have been smacked luckily by just some large limbs a few times to know that you absolutely have to look up always all the time.
Hay buckin if I find myself gas out and what to just git in there and cut I say no I sit down and have some water this my sound weird to some but I close my eyes and sit by the tree and catch my breath and clear my head and then I go again.
What a great home for that press 📚 I’m glad you got that monkey off yer back William! I know that feeling and it only pulls ya down. Fantastic stuff! Both of you! I have big problems staying friends with people I work for… I keep trying different approaches but it just ain’t getting any better. Got any tips for me? Keep in mind even cliche’s are not lost on me. I try maybe too hard…🤷♂️ Love you brother! I hope to have a fraction of your success one day❤
