Buckin Billy-Ray don't advertise & sell Ax's...he sells himself. We buy into him, his message, his craft and therefore when deciding where to get a new axe, it's not a decision, it's what we know, we trust. Keeping secrets doesn't allow you to show YOU, your craftsmanship, your well tuned workshop etc. I agree 100% with BBR on this.
Thank you Buckin for the kind words not just this time but any other time you are a great human being and I always enjoy watching your videos your awesome and I hope you continue to BE KIND always
216k holy shaklankinsmackwackin congratulations Buckin. Thank you for your time my friend. And thank to everyone who has taken the time to watch this video. Love it brother. Hahahahaha yeah. 🌲❤🌲✊
Buckin, thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge and experience with all of us. There's a guy that builds hot rods and Ford Flathead engines down here in Northern California. His name is Vern Tardel. He is a Bonneville Salt Flats world record holder for Blown Flatheads. 2004-2006. He is the SME (subject matter expert) on Traditional style hot rods and Flathead engines, like you are with axes and felling timber. He knows his stuff, a guru like you, if you will. He says the exact same thing that you are conveying in this video. He actually writes books with pictures on how to split wishbones and port out Flathead engines to make them run optimum. He shows all his tricks of the trade. And he says the same thing you do. "I don't want to hide my knowledge, I want to share and teach those who are interested in this craft, to make a better product and teach the next generation. To carry on a time honored tradition of working with your hands." Beautiful axe and a great tutorial on how to hang an axe. Thank you so much for this gift.
I feel in love with axes as a teenager, but then life pulled me in a different direction... you've helped me rekindle that love Billy. Thank you brother. Love ya!
I will never forget my grandfather putting a handle in an axe. I was about 10, so it was about 1955. We needed the axe so we could cut a couple of fallen trees on our farm farm road to the fishing pond. All he did was take his Barlow out of his pocket and started to cut down the end of the handle. He would make a few cuts, put the head on, pound it on a nearby stump and start over. I don’t think it took him but about 15 minutes to get the head on the handle. He did not have any fancy wedges for the handle. He just pounded a couple of roofing nails in the end of the handle and away we went with our fishing poles on our shoulders
I watch these videos cause I like axes and wood chopping but I keep coming back cause Buckin has a very infectious and positive personality. It’s good to see more of this in times like these. Keep up the good work buddy I’ll be watching!!
I’ve used axes my whole life and love them and have replaced handles many times but I watch this video and can say I’m a hack. Love the way you work them and your pride in them!
