Having a hard day today trying to figure out how to install new electric in my house. It’s nice to come to this channel it brings me peace. Thank you Buckin and Thank you to this community.
I can see how giddy and joyful this helko gives you buckin by the way you're choppin at 15:00 😄 I gotta say your joy for axes and choppin is infectious. It's what keeps me comin back to your channel haha.
Good morning mr. Buckin, I am just getting back to comment. Billy I sure wish we lived closer. If for nothing else but to just come over and B S . Your chopping axe is a fantastic tool. And as always you swing it well. I Look forward to seeing you and everyone else on your live feed today sunday. Love Wins .
Years ago, my grandfather had some selective logging done on the family farm. The company that did the job left anything under 10” on the selected trees. There were a few others that had to be felled to make room to fall the selected ones. Needless to say, we had a lot of firewood to process. I spent countless hours limbing with an axe, while he ran the chainsaw. There really is a right and wrong way to do it, and a truly sharp axe is a beautiful thing to work with. My personal worst felling experience was a 12” diameter hickory, felled with an estwing camp axe. Not a bad tool for limbs, but not a great fallers axe. The blisters ran deep, and took weeks to erupt. Before anyone says it wasn’t sharp…..that axe could shave hair. Was finished on a 9micron belt, then stropped to 25K diamond paste, and the finally on clean leather.
i once had a similarly bad experience with a badly made scythe, it didn't have those small handles on the side and as a result i couldn't even ride a bicycle because of the blisters
I keep watching Buckin and I keep getting amazed. You are a natural born woodsman....your comfort zone is swinging that axe like it had a laser beam on it. Thanks for sharing my brother!
Such an example of POSITIVE energy! Surrounding yourself with people of billys kind is addictive, productive and a blessing for ones mental and physical health.
Love watching you display your skills. On different types of wood, in different weather conditions,& especially with the axe that fits the task. Stay safe, healthy, warm, blessed,& productive.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith We burn wood for heat so a splitter…Johnny power over hydraulic….Be making me a more fit man BR..God Bless Brother and be safe out there
It’s been my observation that the more simple and less numerous the tools of a particular task, the more critical the technique. You make this all look so simple, while subtly revealing deep complexity.
That took me back fifty years when you were splitting the piece of wood with 32 degree edge and gave it the "Flicker" description of the technique. My PaPa taught me that and I shall never forget him or the work skills he taught me . True and I miss him and his son who passed before him . I carry on . God keep their souls . Rest well, the men I'm from .
Seeing you chop away on that fir makes me jealous! White and Red Oak is a tougher customer! I love your videos and you have great advice! Very professional and cordial. 🇺🇸👍🏻
Watching a man cut wood is so simple, but watching a professional do it Is satisfying. I'm a roofer and u can appreciate when somebody's doing the craft. Would love to work beside you one day. From Darryl in the 🇬🇧. Would love a axe by the way. Love your work give my love to the family
Good morning Buckin. I do love me some AXIN, although I'm pretty out of shape, it's so much fun swinging a nice axe to get the ole blood pumpin. Good day brother
The great billy bucking beaver in his natural environment , 😉 the bob ross of buckin. I wonder how many you made smile this week bud? However many that is just keep on keeping on.
Jeff Jeff...Another person with a double name. You share your name with my favorite axe man, Jeff Beck 🎸 When you get a good dose of love then you can share it. Love wins
Buckin seperating literal boards of wood in the first 10 seconds of the video makes whatever advice he has for sharp axes immediately considered a fact
I have no idea how to properly choose an axe or cut a tree, but you make it look easy and it’s a relief for me when you take those big ass trees and turn them into matches.
Great vid buddy, the technique along with your ever present words of inspiration are a blessing... and the one in a million chip hitting the camera, great shot! Thanks again and careful around that sharp tool, wow! MAGKD!
I agree, Buckin is an inspiring motivator. We all need to get motivated from one source or another, and Buckin seems to utilize several different angles of simplicity to give us a jolt. Yes I'm a nerd...🤓
Looking at how amazing this axe is, really makes me want to see buckin with one of the axes they use in the championships, like in the stihl timbersports.
They are great, but they will wear you out and are a bit menacing to swing at first. Going from a 4½-5 lb head to a 7-9lb with and 8" edge is unweildy at first, flat sure footing is a must at first.
Just got to see one episode, thought there was 2. The TV channel Defy comes over the antenna...has axmen show. They just ran the Buckin Billy segment. Very good segment.
Hi Buckin'! I gotta tell ya, there's dozens of guys re-hanging axes on Y/T, and every one has to cut paper, shsve his arm, and split or chop wood when he's done. But YOU, almost alone & a couple others, truly look like you know what you're doing with one! Some of these poor yay-hoos make me cringe, looking to soon amputate body parts! Meanwhile, you "just" go about limbing trees, felling same within a gnats butt of where it's meant to drop, and knocking out the most impressive "chips" ever seen when you choose to put your powersaw in the truck! Compared to you Bro., the rest ARE pretenders! Nice vid too! For self-taught you've impressive skills there as well! Anybody new to this channel, just happening to read this - please stick around! Our host is only gettin started with his woods-manship! He's also a gifted Preacher of the value of loving our fellow man and living it daily. Welcome aboard!
Hi Buckin' - I'm restoring my father's axe and my grandfather's axe. Both are double bit and great splitters.I don't have much opportunity to fell or buck but want them up to the task when I can. Is there an optimal angle for each side that you would recommend? One has a 34-1/2" handle. The other is 35-1/2". Sure wish I could attach pictures. If I remember right one of them is what you called a hot rod. Hope you see this. Love your videos and your take on life. I very much appreciate what you give to the community.
Depends on the initial bevel grind. Is it thick and bulbous, or is it skinny and slender? If the former, try aiming for a total angle of 32 to 40* (16* or 20* each side). If the latter, try aiming for a total angle of about 16* to 24* (8* or 12* each side) I find ultra sharp axes need to be re-ground, and re-honed frequently, unless they're some really wicked steel (Although even then, the damage that can occur to those types of blade edges can be more difficult to fix). Having a high quality, relatively fine pocket stone (maybe a hard arkansas) will save you a lot of time chopping. I've been sharpening for years and years, all sorts of tools; in general I don't measure my angles unless I have to; especially because I work on knives the most.
Hi Buckin. Hope all is well. Been absent for a while as my dad is not doing well. Just thought I’d stop by and say hello. I got a lot of catching up to do on your videos. Take care.
@@jirusjirus9322 thank you. It’s tough being an only child. My mom retires in April. So I am taking care of him during the week. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. One cool thing is he just got fire stick tv so he can watch TH-cam. So he watches fishing channels. But I’m going to introduce him to buckin this week. I think he will really enjoy and appreciate his videos as he was a log sawyer and ran a wood chip plant for a paper mill and was part of the last log drive in the state of Maine where we are from. Since his severe stroke he is pretty much chair ridden. Who knows maybe I can get buckin to give him a shout out. He would get a big kick out of that lol
Holy Cow, somehow I just landed on this channel , end up watching this man chop those woods like it nothin,I know nothing about about woodcraft but Inow I wanna know more about it after watching this video, whatr kinda axe is that anyway?
Anyone new to swinging an axe… I fully recommend a pair of steel toe boots and some good thick pants if not chaps as well, a sharp axe can do some REAL damage to you and if you’re alone in the woods that can be a bad deal.
Good advice even if experienced. Instep protection good to have as well in case you undo your laces with the axe. Saw it happen to a co worker when i was younger. He was using improper stance felling a small tree. Felt bad as i had sharpened his axe for him. He got to meet a nice nurse though when medivaced by bush plane. Thirty stitches but a clean cut.
11:13 "Lotta guys wanna get out there and give'r in the bush, and I, I want you to too...Believe me I do." Wait are we still talking about working in the forest with axes or somthin else there brother!?!?!? Haha ha.
Is your Helko a Tasmanian pattern? If so, it's somewhat thinner than mine. I have a Helko Tasmanian, it's tool weight is 6 1/2lbs, and it's a super special tool to me. It's great at chopping, and it also splits like a beast and doesn't stick except in the hickory I've been splitting. I can also do the pick up a piece of wood trick with it. It's been my favorite Tazi pattern thus far. Keep up the good spirit!🤘
Buckin I apologize I meant to hit the like button but I accidentally hit dislike and it instantly said “feedback shared with creator”. I love your videos, and I’m sure you won’t notice but keep doing exactly what your doing. You’re amazing, god bless ♥️
For some reason, I prefer to limb with an axe than the chainsaw, even if the chainsaw is faster. But I'm not on a schedule, I just cut trees to clean up the yard and limb those, then cut them up for campfires. So speed is not needed.
Hey buckin, yesterday me my brother and dad went and cut up a tree for fire wood and split it but the splitting mall handle broke right under the head first day of use. Do you know any good 8lb ones?
Buckin, you are Special. You do as you say. Knowing this puts you in a category most speak of, but rarely achieve. God Bless.

“Be nice to people. Help people. Be nice to yourself. It helps.” -Buckin. What a guy.
Years ago, my grandfather had some selective logging done on the family farm. The company that did the job left anything under 10” on the selected trees. There were a few others that had to be felled to make room to fall the selected ones.
Needless to say, we had a lot of firewood to process.
I spent countless hours limbing with an axe, while he ran the chainsaw.
There really is a right and wrong way to do it, and a truly sharp axe is a beautiful thing to work with.
My personal worst felling experience was a 12” diameter hickory, felled with an estwing camp axe. Not a bad tool for limbs, but not a great fallers axe. The blisters ran deep, and took weeks to erupt.
Before anyone says it wasn’t sharp…..that axe could shave hair. Was finished on a 9micron belt, then stropped to 25K diamond paste, and the finally on clean leather.
i once had a similarly bad experience with a badly made scythe, it didn't have those small handles on the side and as a result i couldn't even ride a bicycle because of the blisters
I keep watching Buckin and I keep getting amazed. You are a natural born woodsman....your comfort zone is swinging that axe like it had a laser beam on it. Thanks for sharing my brother!
Such an example of POSITIVE energy! Surrounding yourself with people of billys kind is addictive, productive and a blessing for ones mental and physical health.
Love it brings me back to when that's all I had when I was younger chopped alot of trees! And still love to split wood keep up the good work buckin
that Helko is an absolute weapon of a chopper!!! like a hot knife through butter
i really like it Deano

I have no idea how to properly choose an axe or cut a tree, but you make it look easy and it’s a relief for me when you take those big ass trees and turn them into matches.
Thin axe heads are for chopping and wide ones are for splitting
The original axe man! Buckin billy ray!!!
Buckin: “That’s about 12” of wood”
What guys are thinking: That’s what she said !
Those axes are amazing
I think so too.
My shoulder hurts just from watching.🦾
5:22 right on the money!
There is no such thing as "humble axe". In your hands, Billy, it will become a vainglorious axe !

Hi Buckin' - I'm restoring my father's axe and my grandfather's axe. Both are double bit and great splitters.I don't have much opportunity to fell or buck but want them up to the task when I can. Is there an optimal angle for each side that you would recommend? One has a 34-1/2" handle. The other is 35-1/2". Sure wish I could attach pictures. If I remember right one of them is what you called a hot rod. Hope you see this. Love your videos and your take on life. I very much appreciate what you give to the community.
Depends on the initial bevel grind. Is it thick and bulbous, or is it skinny and slender?
If the former, try aiming for a total angle of 32 to 40* (16* or 20* each side).
If the latter, try aiming for a total angle of about 16* to 24* (8* or 12* each side)
I find ultra sharp axes need to be re-ground, and re-honed frequently, unless they're some really wicked steel (Although even then, the damage that can occur to those types of blade edges can be more difficult to fix). Having a high quality, relatively fine pocket stone (maybe a hard arkansas) will save you a lot of time chopping.
I've been sharpening for years and years, all sorts of tools; in general I don't measure my angles unless I have to; especially because I work on knives the most.
I want that axe, I like how the handle isn't super long like the hardware store axes, gotta stand 6 ft back with those things
Buckin I was wondering do know where a guy could find eny misery whipps at.
Best place to find old ones is auctions, we sell them very often, or check out flea markets, rural area yard sales, hope that helps!
Be Kind Friend!!!
4:54 I may be immature, but the end of that axe handle is.. hilarious to me
My grandfather had a logging compainy many years ago some of his crew used ax and 2 mans saws power saws were exspencive few used them
Hi Buckin. Hope all is well. Been absent for a while as my dad is not doing well. Just thought I’d stop by and say hello. I got a lot of catching up to do on your videos. Take care.

Axe loos very sharp. What weight an axe should be?
That axe is scary!!
Now is it the angle of the wedge 15 degrees or is it the angle of the sharpened edge?
Try watching the shining before axing my friend. Here's Jonny 😆 lol
That was some nice chopping.
@4:45. What an absolute banger!
Anyone new to swinging an axe… I fully recommend a pair of steel toe boots and some good thick pants if not chaps as well, a sharp axe can do some REAL damage to you and if you’re alone in the woods that can be a bad deal.
Good advice even if experienced. Instep protection good to have as well in case you undo your laces with the axe. Saw it happen to a co worker when i was younger. He was using improper stance felling a small tree. Felt bad as i had sharpened his axe for him. He got to meet a nice nurse though when medivaced by bush plane. Thirty stitches but a clean cut.
15 degrees inclusive means 7.5 dps, that’s is a VERY lean grind for an axe… nearing knife grind territory. Hence why it cuts like a laser.
Axe chopping videos. All good.
U R a hard worker
That's a nice chopping axe
I shall buck some wood now.
he he
My rule is with a heavy axe don't swing for the fences. A lighter axe you can control easier so you can use a bit more force.
Nice chopping sir....
Revisited...
The fact you can hit in the same spot makes a big difference .
I love liming the maples with an ax I find that I can go along faster this way.
11:13 "Lotta guys wanna get out there and give'r in the bush, and I, I want you to too...Believe me I do." Wait are we still talking about working in the forest with axes or somthin else there brother!?!?!? Haha ha.

Get er done!
Is your Helko a Tasmanian pattern? If so, it's somewhat thinner than mine.
I have a Helko Tasmanian, it's tool weight is 6 1/2lbs, and it's a super special tool to me. It's great at chopping, and it also splits like a beast and doesn't stick except in the hickory I've been splitting. I can also do the pick up a piece of wood trick with it. It's been my favorite Tazi pattern thus far. Keep up the good spirit!🤘

Now just imagine the time when men built homes and barns with nothing but hand tools!
For some reason, I prefer to limb with an axe than the chainsaw, even if the chainsaw is faster. But I'm not on a schedule, I just cut trees to clean up the yard and limb those, then cut them up for campfires. So speed is not needed.
Hey buckin, yesterday me my brother and dad went and cut up a tree for fire wood and split it but the splitting mall handle broke right under the head first day of use. Do you know any good 8lb ones?
