@@BuckinBillyRaySmith wow, you're an example of how people should treat each other. Be good humans and I'm praying I can score one of your tasmanian axes
Who needs Netflix when we have Buckin' Billy Flicks? what a technique ! I just discovered your videos literally a few days ago....and what a joy they are!! - I am an instant subscriber and wish I'd discovered them in lockdown. So excited to work my way through your videos now. Don't ever stop making them pls! I could watch you split wood all day mate! This particular video was pure entertainment and you are a man of so many talents Billy!! All the very best from North Wales, UK. Cymru am byth !!!
Sometimes when you sit down and actually think about the different tricks you do and it can be hard to explain. I think it would be hard for anyone to not be appreciative of all the things you have shared with us that are truly helpful and beneficial! Love to you and the family buckin❤️
Hi Buckin! I'm a new subscriber and 30 year BC Forest Technologist vet. I love anything wood related! Just acquired a forested 40 acre property with a remote cabin and will be doing some road building and a few patch cuts over the next few years as I move into retirement. MAPLE LEAF UP
Love your 'flick' method. You have this correct in every way. I'm trying to teach my boy that last minute flick which does the job and makes it so much easier if only people could catch on to the strike. ' Backing off' from the sides rather than going straight through the middle is also something some don't get. They'd cut there work rate in half if they could learn both. Thanks buddy. Hope you are fit and healthy and stay that way.
Any episode where buckin pulls out his harmonica, it gonna be a good episode. Billy Buckin, you inspired me to take up the harmonica, still in my first week but already improved.
I did a revisit on your vid, I always pick up more info. I noted your body mechanics and I noted we actually do the same. I too start horizontal ax(e) go up come straight down and flick "outboard". I found that with twisted juniper the double bit and "slimmer geometry" follow the grain to split the wood. My son in law used a hammer wedge but I prefer the ax(e).
Fearfully and wonderfully made!!!!!‘love ya Breda still spreading kindness like it’s butter on hot biscuits!!!!!!‘so gratefully for the Most High God lead me to your channel! thank you again for being you. Who is amazing!!!!
Thanks Buckin great to see ya brother. That's a dandy Tazzie another great one for the collection. Hello to the newcomers and everyone in this Army of love. Stand up and Buck it does a body good.love it brother.🌲❤🌲✊
Thanks Buckin Billy Ray. You right God don’t make any mistakes! God Bless You and all of Your Family! 👍❤️ This old World needs God more than ever! Love You and Your Family Buckin!👍❤️
As a Tasmanian I love my axe currently splitting a big gum tree 6 foot at the base and it does not split easy strait grain but it’s tight. Love your stuff man
Duuuuude. What a great harmonica player you are!!! I love your feel. I used to play at church with harmonica player John Popper. You are fabulous and have wonderful feel. I love your videos. I’m a lifetime axe junkie as well.
Hey buckin, this is a beautiful axe for australia. Congrats MACCA! Thanks for your superchattin! I like lil buckin, he shoud wearing odems axe😉 Greetings to all buckin army.
Thank you for the wonderful videos. Little buckin is cool lol. No one makes axes with as much heart as you. If everyone could find something they genuinely want to put their heart and attention into I think we would have a lot more soldiers of kindness. Troubles lead even the wisest folks astray and we need something to pull us back. That something is love. Love of family, love of your work, love of your hobbies and friends.
Good morning mr buckin thank you for all the positive vibes you put out there and much love to you and your family and friends stay strong and stay safe from jethro
Hi Billy Ray, I have started to split fire wood for my home and I was looking on U tube on how to split wood plus using a chainsaw than I found your channel which has helped me out a lot. Thank you very much for your knowledge, experience and expertise. Keep making videos 😁 Thank you Vinesh Singh Australia
Buckin', you arguing with your bench buddy Little Buckin' is seriously funny, and that doll won! I treated some of my various tool handles today with your fave Watco oil, and I love the finish. Thanks!
Billy, next time you’re in the philly area I need you reach me how to split wood. I do it fairly regularly, but always feel like a novice when I watch you.
we are all where we are at on our journey... and put energy into what we want to be better at.. i remember wanting to be a better drummer , for my mothers music ... so i put my head down ..and put the time in.. love ya brother. keep at it ,,try new things , and most importantly ,, be nice to people and build up yer surrounding humans .. love Buckin'
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith Amen. You are a constant source of positive energy and inspiration and we are thankful for you and your channel. Keep up the great work.
Shi-claang.... The other day i musta said that about 50 times, had a little chuckle each time. Thanks Billy for your hard work and friendly humor. The Buckin army of kindness grows with careful small steps of hard work. Be safe, be kind, love wins.
This dude is entertaining for sure. Seems like a good and genuine guy. His technique and knowledge is the best I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot but this dude is heads and heels above even me! Lol. Although his technique is stellar, my favorite part about this video is when he starts splitting in the Incredible Hulk David Banner era shirt. Love that. Lol. Stay golden pony boy.
Dear Buckin I am a new subscriber to your channel, I have learned by watching your videos. It is a pleasure to see you, the good energy you transmit in each video, your advice and the words of encouragement you send. I appreciate it a lot. I send you a big hug from Uruguay, a little corner in South America🇺🇾🇺🇾
dear good afternoon everyone. Thank you very much for the welcome and for the response. I already wish you and all the subscribers that they are all well. Excuse my English since I use the translator so that communication is fluent and send any comments. a big hug to all
Thanks for the 550 cord under the ax head. On the ax handle you "cannot hammer" consider holding the handle vertical and cut the bottom of the handle to be flat with the floor/ ground or place it flat and tap the top. A pity they used screws on the ax head when they could have used wood shavings small wedges around any slight gaps to eliminate "gaps". One thing I learn to teach juniors and a "wild ax" ricochet place a shorter chopping roll (safety, mod from Crazy Russian Channel) in front of target chopping block, if ax skips or missed the shorter wood catches it. Glad I finally solved it. Your Figure 8- mine mod comes down and I "flick" my wrist to the right. Keeping my swings consistent, with the "flick" that will follow the grain pattern of the wood.
When I was a kid my Dad taught me do that flick thing you do to open up a piece a bit more on the strike. He probably learned it from one of the old hands at the family's float logging camp. I've never really been satisfied with a leather collar on the axe handle and tape doesn't quite do the trick either, but that paracord looks promising. Thanks for sharing that.
Mannnn youre are so awesome sir. im a new viewer and by god its a pleasure to have this channel , Billy youre awesome man stay awesome and lets spread some love in this world , Jack form the UK
Lovely morning to you all people. A Nice video from himself to watch when Norway waking up. That tassie looking great. And so do you my friend. Have a great day. Mort
Just hot a new house and have been cutting up some tress. I need an ax for splitting and boy watching you makes me feel very Unequipped. Hahabbaba great videos brother. Love you passion ❤️
Billy-- I use my draw knives-spokeshaves more for precision scraping than for "hogging" off wood. I probably have 6+ shaves, all vintage and one or two with folding handles. Good when you take the tool to the work. Thanks."Mike"
Hello Buckin sweetheart 👋🏼. This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine. 🌛💫⭐️Remember that song that will be me 🧸🎈... Nice to see you workin on the 🪓 Axe’s lately! With little Buckin input 🤣😉👍🏼 Take care sweetheart. P.s,Hope to see you on your Sunday live . We have missed the last few.
The figure of eight thing you talked about, i have done ever since i was around 13 splitting logs in the garden, its great for those who cant use full strength to get a good swing in, it can also be combined with a good flick for a mean split
Enjoy watching your show watched your chain shaping inspired me too learn to sharpen a chain started out just cutting up some of a stump wond up removing the stump by the end of the day got pretty good at it (sharpening a chain saw chain ) thank u
Gardena makes a good Husqvarna fiberglass handled axe too! I have both the Husqvarna S2800 splitting axe and the X27 by Fiskars. I like the longer 32- 36 inch handles on my traditional hickory but I'm really taking a shine to the 27 1/2 inch handle on the Husqvarna!
🇮🇪🇮🇪 fiskers x27 super splitting axe,and husquavarna s2800 splitting axe are tops for me,balance and weight transition in the swing,won't be beat,🇮🇪🇮🇪 from the Emerald Isle of Ireland
Thanks for the video. Great explanation on the figure 8 movement. I was getting the beginning of the movement on my own (just trying out of instinct), I look forward to do the finishing move as you show. Take care. Juan
Alaska here. Just wood for the house yeah. I was using the fiskars and another brand. They work fine but the epoxy cracks in the cold. I bought one new this year and it’s already moving. I’m going to try a wood handle on one and see if it lasts more than a few cords. I also have two old axes, a double blade and a single bit that seem to split just fine. Both of those were given to me and I sharpened them to see if they would hold an edge.
Ok, watched some Buckin videos..check.. grab my axe and time to split wood! I need all the motivation I can get to get it done! Thanks Buckin, I have alot of work ahead of me. 👊
My splitting maul is a solid steel wedge about 3 inches across the back with a steel handle welded to it. Weighs 16 pounds and works like a dream when you learn to let it work for you instead of working yourself to death!
Where I come from sometimes we flip the axe and let the own weight of the log do the job once we do the first overhead swing and the axe is firmly planted on it. You just pick up axe and log at the same time without trying to remove the axe from the log, flip the axe and strike the axe's flat surface against your cutting block. You get such crazy impact from the weight of the log that it will split even through nots Good for damaging handles if you're not careful though lol
The other day I was at our local John Deere sales floor, and I saw a few Stihl splitting mauls, now I noticed the profile was a bit beefy, compared with the Fiskars, now I was curious about your thoughts, they are quite pricey at about $130.00! Now your going to have to explain to lil’ Buckin’ who the real boss is!lol
