That exact video is how I found your channel, and I've never looked back. Your channel is my most watched channel. Thank you for your positivity and kindness.
I found your channel because I searched for tips on how to take down a tree. What I found was i love your content, and that I had to hire a pro for that tree lol. Thanks for the daily dose of awesome content and brotherly love.
Great video. Thanks for showing me the square ground. Right now I’m going to stick to the round. One day if I get a sharpener and learn how to dress the wheel, I will try the square. I’m up to over 60 logs for my mill thanks to your helpful videos. It’s not just entertainment for me. I am falling trees. Your wedge training videos are the best. I really learned how to bang from them. I am so great full. Thank you.
See that's what I'm talkin about, you took a small amount of time, outta your day to take the time to reply. You will have a subscriber, a follower, a person who looks to you for enjoyment, for the rest of my entire life. I mean it. You being you gives me a good feeling about life all over again. Thank you, thank you from us.
Oh, BTW: I found ya by searching "How to sharpen an axe." A while back. Needed a refresher after spending a few years in the city. Watched one video, and have come back every day for a personal reminder to be more diligent and kind. Sometimes those random words seem to be speaking right to me, and I make sure to do my best to follow your example. Although I don't know how a man can exude that much genuine and honest love. You're an inspiration. Thanks again.
Hell yeah, well said. I think BBR exudes more positivity than even the most positive people I've ever met personally. I think that if the average guy can manage to get to half his level he's doing good enough to be well above average, here in California I see people living the hate life all too often.
Originally i found you because i wanted to learn how to properly fell a tree BUT it turned out to be life changing for me atleast, then i found iron horse what a blessing. You know man your a JOY, i mean that No BS and im not even a logger im your basic mechanic/perfectionist.
Hell yeah. That is the exact first video i ever watched of yours because of the recommend. Ever since ive been hooked on your videos because i always enjoy learning more tree stuff from you
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith i enjoy learning new stuff. Ive been cutting trees and splitting wood for the past 3 years and have started doing a few things ive learned from you this season
Buckin, I can't put into words how you have helped me. I never grew up around tree felling never grew up around saws. However the house we bought needed an additional heat source. Watching your videos fr the last two years has RADICALLY aided me in safety, efficiency and overall knowledge. I have fell some dangerous trees with confidence due to your videos. My chain sharpening has RADICALLY improved. I truly can't thank you enough! Please stay at!
I found you after searching info on chain saw sharpening and other info. I subscribed because it's an awesome channel. Thks for the great content. You are a frigging great host.
You are very wonderful. Thank you for these words of wisdom and the energy you share. I’ve been lost for years. Now because of you I’m excited all over again and ready to move on.
I found you by looking for proper chain sharpening technique and realy enjoyed you style of video production,no BS, straight word, and you have it. I haven't watched this axemen show you speak of. Thank you
I don't think it's RU-vid, Billy. It's You. Your consistent and admirable work is a daily breath of wild positivity and hope. Thank you, and keep being you, buddy!
Oh great a new freakin Buckin video!!!!!!!! Great to see you!!! that grinder is amazing. Applause!!!! Have a great Sunday Buckin and Buckin Army!!!!!! 💛🖤💛🖤👍👊
Hell yeah that’s how I found you and the buckin army!!! I clicked on the laser beam ax video and subscribed immediately!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!!
Like your hand filing and fixing old axes awesome to watch and my grandson loves watching you and you are funny and you have a great family from Dallas pa
Hell yeah! I was recommended that video and I was amazed by many things so I’m still here now, As a gamer and a teen stuck in his house I enjoy seeing anything nature related and anything old school working related so I’ll be interested here for a while.
Was looking for tree felling and found your video „ wow, is this an axe or a laser...“ I am from germany , working as a psychiatrist and recover energy in my gardenwork - your channel is so satisfying and positiv- I always like the good old fashioned work by hand , means , you can see what you have done....most of the people need this ...thumbs up to your work an channel!!!
Welcome to new subscribers welcome. Mike and Melissa Morgan sent me and I'm glad. 😊😊😊👍👍👍🤗💖 I do like your chain grinder. Dressing the stone is similar to dressing the stone on my valve grinder .
I don’t know exactly what video it was that made me find this channel. Could of been the one you said maybe not but I’m glad I didn’t find this channel. Glad to see someone else that likes what they do for a living.
Love it Buckin great video on grinding and 7 and 8 tooth. I did my own test with my 372xp xt definitely the 7 tooth for me much smoother, but on my stihl 064 the 8 tooth pulls great. Thanks Buckin and welcome to all the new subscribers. 🌲❤🌲
I found your channel you was the only guy talking about the gullet and how to really sharpen a chain a lot of people dont understand how a chain works your the only one who explains it the thing about 7-10 tooth sprockets yes you get faster chain speed but at the cost of horse power and torque a higher tooth count will hurt your performance if you dont have the engine or correct stall rpm on your clutch springs/shoes its just like a race car stall converter you can rock a small sprocket aggressive rakers and rip chunks out snap a chain or you can go with a mild raker big sprocket high rpm engaugment and make a chain rip though a log with very fast chain speeds but we are talking racing applications some will grind down clutch shoes and 3m bond cutable brake shoe aka friction material comes in many different slip percents changing springs etc can give a higher stall as well finding your power band and having the saw engage at that sweet spot rpm with a methanol breathing orange dragon with porting and timing/limiter mods a tuned pipe will rip so fast its scary
Hell yeah!! I found you through the laser beam axe 🪓 video but I stayed because of your positive attitude and all around good “vibes”.. I hate that word but it’s fitting.. I use to work at a lumber mill and I love axes especially old ones so I naturally gravitates to your videos.. thank you!! And keep up the good work!!
This chanell is the best thing that has happened to me. I am a changed man for the better. Buckin's positivity is very contagious it has helped me overcome many demons that I was battling.Welcome new subs ,you have come to a one of kind community of powersaws , love and kindness. Excellent video as per usaul Buckin. Thanks for being so humble and inspiring to myself and many others. Love and kindness.
I run .404. Full skip.... I want a square grind grinder.....I do not know why Silvey no longer makes them??? I have been in love with chainsaws for a long , long time..........I feel that there is a story/explanation as to why I am having a hard time acquiring a Silvey......
Hell yea... that's how I found ya and that vid was awsome. I'm now a lifer I'm sticking around love the content, And the attitude and the positivity. My uncle owned a cheap big band sawmill wich is why is why i like your content so much. It reminds me of him. He also worked in a lumber mill his whole life I miss him dearly buckin and I thank you for giving me a piece of him through you. much love. I remember him sharpening his saw blades and making jigs to do so. Love it.
Awesome camera work Buckin and Ganges !! Thanks for answering my question which stays sharp longer, square grind or round file. I’ll stick to round file. Love and kindness to all the community. Peace ✌️ out.
I am eastern hardwood logger.actualy dont live to far from ironhorsre. I have run husky 288's and 394's and 066 stihls with 24" bars and 8 tooth sprockets for a long time. I think they work great on bigger slower saws but not so much on higher revving 70cc class saws
Hi buckin...while looking threw chain edging vids on RU-vid, I found your channel, helped me alot with round filing....tools weeks to go through your playlist ...no regrets.....
i found you because i was looking for good chain sharpening videos, im new to the craft. your videos have helped me immensely and i enjoy watching them.
What do yo do with your bar when it starts to wear v groove. (wearing the edge of the chain) Do you file or grind flat again? Thanks.Love the videos. Your a good man.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Normal bar maintenance can only do so much. For years, I've been having my worn bars redone by www.chainbar.com out of Portland, Or. They squeeze the rails together, then regroove them. Bars work like new. I think I've had some bars done twice. My guess is, once is enough, then toss the bar. Next time I come up your way to hang out with Reg, we should get together. I could pick up a few each of your worn bars and take them to Portland, as I get there often. Then bring them back within 6 months. how's that for service?..slower than a slug!!!
Thanks for helping me understand this concept a whole lot better. Now it makes perfect sense to me. I will be trying this out myself. I've never really put too much thought in it but have always wondered. Hope you have a great day.
Hell ya. all videos great. Wear a dust mask when grinding. A friend of mine had a saw shop and dust from grinder screwed up his lungs . Need you to stay healthy
Age old problem, well documented, with steel grindings dust destroying lungs going back to needle grinding factories during the British industrial revolution.
I live in the foothills of NC. I found your channel from watching outdoors with the Morgan's. Love your passion and excitement and love of the outdoors. I found his channel from looking at different log splitters.
I found your channel about 3 weeks ago. It was the video when you were buckin all those cedar trees with your 266. But now I've been watching a few of your videos every day after work just trying to get some more knowledge on anything wood related. You've already helped me split better with an axe just simply having it sharpened correctly and being able to read the wood. Anyways keep up the great work and have a great day.
Love that Simington! I had one very similar to that when I fell timber in Oregon in the 80's and 90's. I started off round filing. Luckily this greenhorn got some help. Boss sold me his Simington (he was now a bullbuck and not cutting much) and my coworker with 38 years of experience gave me one of his old stones so I could set my dresser angles. He told me to go buy a roll of Oregon Full Comp chain and showed me how much to take the rakers down and how to clean up the gullets as it wore. That chain was unfreakingbelievable! One tiny burst of throttle and a limb the size of your ankle was gone! Falling and bucking the chain did all the work, and just sucked itself right through throwing chips that all looked perfectly the same. I had times I handed my saw to cutters that were stuck so they could cut themselves out, and they would hand it back with their eyes wide open going "Holy shit that thing cuts!" I couldn't take the credit that I didn't deserve and had to admit that it wasn't because I knew what I was doing. I was just lucky enough to have the help of those that did. I had been cutting as much as the rest of the cutters even though I was new, by sheer will, simply because I have always had tremendous endurance and I'm competitive. I would jog between trees with saw in hand. After I got the new setup, I still pushed myself like a dog, but now I was cutting 30-50% more, so now I wasn't just holding my own anymore.
I subbed a few weeks ago. You were swinging a double headed axe around a woodpile splitting wood like a wood chuck could. Reminded me of firewoodin in the okanagan. Beat up ol ford, couple brewskies, chainsaw fumes, keeping people warm through the winter... Good times
Man! I end my day, EVERYDAY, by winding down with some positivity from Billy Ray. Now every day I stop by there are around 1000 - 2000 new folks subscribed. I can't think of a more deserving dude. Especially in these times where it seems people just want to argue with one another. It makes me happy to see Buckin's message getting the notoriety it deserves. Stay positive friends.
Welcome to the family new subscribers! Great vid Billy! You never fail to teach this old dog a new trick or two. Thanks for helping to make the world a better place. Kindness to all. Tell BoBo we send our love?❤️
