watching you build a fire today was like a therapy session Buckin. The sound of wood from kindling to torch is beautiful. That right there was worth the price of admission!! Thankyou for what you bring to this planet my friend. Faith, Hope and Love...
words to live by buddy, well executed and well said...gotta get that heart rate up!..an inspiration to all and thank you once again for what you do for us Buckin! you are a special guy and we're all better for your content, example and positivity! Have a great kind day everyone and a warm welcome to all new subs , you are gonna enjoy the content! Have a good one!
What an Ace. I’ve followed you for a long while now. Love your decision making skills and how you operate. Might have seen you do this a million times but I’ll never be bored with your content. Love you, Brother.

Some of us, forties, fifties, etc... that aren't huge - we often will think "i'm not in that bad of shape," and then go and chase a kid, or lift something heavier than normal, or something.... and that can often cause heart attacks; what we don't consider is that, no we're not huge, but being sedentary can cause plaque build up in our arteries, and since we're still *kinda* fit, we still have the ability to push hard - which can cause that plaque to break off, causing an heart attack, an embolism, or a stroke. That's why 20 minutes a day of elevated heart rate is really, really, important! Great grind, by the way.
G'day Buckin you can't argue with physics, another piece of history being painstakingly saved and restored for the benefit of the channel or one lucky person.
As a person that was born an raised in the city ive always felt out of place. Until i picked up the axe, your videos teach me and give me so much vicarious joy
So true I always say that my chopping area is my gym, and thank you for that safety tip I really never thought about that before about setting the wood farther back on the chopping block. Excellent video Buckin 🙌🙌
Good morning Billy, I thank you for your tips and tricks and your uplifting video’s. I can relate to a couple of your habits. I love the way how you take on live and your days! My mom used to say when we were younger be nice to one another. She parted almost 18 years ago, but never have I forgotten that line. I hope you and your family will stay healthy for a long time. Greetings, Marcel
So right you are, my friend! Getting out there and doing that physical labor strengthens your heart and your soul! Love you all...❤️❤️❤️ Lieutenant Bradley
I love convex edges . All the knives I made I use convex . Thanks for all you do brother . I hung my first axe head last week because of your videos. And made an axearoon. Love it for fire wood
I think I need to send some things to you for an unboxing!! Life has been crazy but the love for the army is always there even if I’m not around. Keep up the great videos!!
You have me the inspiration to build my first axe thank you the most fun I've had and I'm 15 hard to find that likes to do that. Wish to meet you one day
Hey Buckin I was out yesterday splitting wood with a maul and I was picking up every piece I get what you mean bud.Also today me and the wife went into town to Boston Pizza and had lunch the wife went to the bathroom and I looked over and this lady looked like she was on hard times but she was trying,if you know what I mean so I said to myself if buckin was here what would he do,so I paid for her lunch and it felt good. BE KIND FOLKS.
love you brother. left my office job of 18 years back in 2020 to start my own business and to start living again. after a life and career full of bad decisions and mistakes i’m finally happy
Buenas tardes. Soy de España y no se inglés pero me encanta este tío y sus videos. Me apasiona el mundo de los cuchillos y las hachas. Es increíble. Un saludo desde ESPAÑA,ANDALUCÍA, SEVILLA.
I think after looking at the last 20 beautiful axe builds you have done we are beginning to see what the wood bullet is going to look like. I don't know how you could improve on such a beautiful axe Buckin. Such outstanding axes my friend!
When ya jump on the drums before goin out I say to myself geez I just love this guy what a legend , Can’t wait till I can throw a wood bullet into some oak 🙏🏻 god bless
Buckin’, unrelated to this particular video, but I just found a full wrap handlebar for my Stihl 041. I am freakin pumped! Can’t wait to try it out!!! It definitely seems like it’s gonna be way better for limbing and for being able to cut from both sides of the tree. Another piece of killer advice from you man. Took me forever to find one!! It looks freakin killer with the 28” bar and the full wrap!! Time to find some decent dogs for it and she’ll be set. Maybe get iron horse to hot rod this thing for me at some point.
amazin'...like you were saying 'just a little of this a little of that' (slightly flicking the axe at the impact)...i've never heard anyone but you mention that (but I'm new to this stuff). I have tried that technique and I can attest that it works, now I will also start by placing the rounds a little further on the block as mentioned to reduce the chin splints ;-). Thank you for the advice
Fire starter. Into half of a 1 gallon jug ( cut off ) I put sawdust and add some oil . Mix. Used motor, lamp, refrigeration, ETC. I scoop a small amount out to put under the kindling. Yes, the selfstarting propane torch is the only way. to start a fire.
Hey friends. New to axes and I think I am addicted now lol. So I was curious, is burning the handle for ascetics only or is there some type of functional gain from it? Thank you sir for all the videos, I have been watching them all and am on a bit of a binge lol.
Old trick for getting the axe head on handle so it'll never, ever slip...anti freeze, yep anti freeze. Once you get the axe hafted to your satisfaction, soak the top of the handle, in the head, in some anti freeze. Water makes wood swell, but it eventually evaporates. Anti freeze don't evaporate, ever and won't rot the wood. Makes the head nice n shiny too!✌
What grit of sandpaper are you using to sharpen the axe heads? I’m restoring two old axe heads and I need to sharpen them. I’m of course using hicks hickory handles.
Hi buckin my name is Ernest Corbiere from Cornwall Ontario Canada I wrk for j and J tree service I watch your channel religiously and have learned so much. I was wondering if I could buy two wrk axes off you one for me and one for my boss please tell me it's possible to get a couple off you
How would you get into this line of work in the uk? I’ve been trying for the longest to find a way but I don’t live in the countryside and I cannot find anywhere where I can do this
New sub here. Wondering…. Been splitting wood my whole life with an 8 pound mail. Question… would an axe like that be good for east coast hardwood like Ash Oak Hickory and Apple?? Love em just wondering before I purchase something like that.
Put the tree stump your cutting inside AN OLD TIRE and it will hold it together while you strike it and IT WILL PREVENT ANY INJURIES TO YOUR LEGS!!!! Seriously just try it..... Just find an old tire without the wheel and put the stump inside and go to cutting!!!! I'm also and old Rock drummer from West Texas. Polish those cymbals friend. Hahaha Which Axe did you send Essential Craftsman ???

Exelant Axe Billy , Rounding the cutting edge and taking off the speed bump great craftsmanship. Another outstanding Axe Billy .

Sage wisdom
I love that edge for splitting and picking up the wood. Wow and that axe and handle combo is amazing. Thank you Buckin. Love ya brother. 🌲❤🌲👊🪓
G'day Buckin you can't argue with physics, another piece of history being painstakingly saved and restored for the benefit of the channel or one lucky person.
Buckin, That's a great looking axe and Love that handle !! Keep on Buckin and Keep on Truckin !!!
Another good looking axe 🪓 Buckin 👍👍♥️♥️
As a person that was born an raised in the city ive always felt out of place. Until i picked up the axe, your videos teach me and give me so much vicarious joy
Interesting...I've always started wood stove fires top-down, not like a campfire. I never had as much luck this way. (great video as always). :)
What's up Billy from Pa been watching you for the past 2 year's you tought me a lot now i fit axes too keep it up man axe men live forever!!! 😁😁
So true I always say that my chopping area is my gym, and thank you for that safety tip I really never thought about that before about setting the wood farther back on the chopping block. Excellent video Buckin 🙌🙌
Glorious build BR. Fresh air is nature medicine. Breathing and living. ❤💯
Probably the nicest axe I've seen you make!

Fantastic work as always Buckin'!!! I really appreciate the tips and lessons!
Man if you had a dollar for every fire you started Buckin we both could afford to fill up our tanks he he !
I love convex edges . All the knives I made I use convex . Thanks for all you do brother . I hung my first axe head last week because of your videos. And made an axearoon. Love it for fire wood
I think I need to send some things to you for an unboxing!! Life has been crazy but the love for the army is always there even if I’m not around. Keep up the great videos!!

Buenas tardes. Soy de España y no se inglés pero me encanta este tío y sus videos. Me apasiona el mundo de los cuchillos y las hachas. Es increíble. Un saludo desde ESPAÑA,ANDALUCÍA, SEVILLA.
We can still run, Buckin; but only when absolutely necessary! 😊
I absolutely love the splitting axes that you make.
Thank you Billy!!!! Thanks for the great video!
The tip about putting the piece on the far edge of the chopping block was a huge safety thing for me and something I had not considered.
Killer axe man!!! Love the editing also. Have a great weekend
I didn’t realize I needed a wood burning stove until I keep seeing nice fires in the bunker… Now I’m starting to think I need one in mine 😂
Just won a bid on eBay on a hytest tazie 4lbs it’ll be my first tazie I’m so excited. Nice work on that tazie
Good job Trees-R-Us Oregon
Love your videos man, That is a killer axe right there 😃 you know your stuff. Wish you all the best
I think after looking at the last 20 beautiful axe builds you have done we are beginning to see what the wood bullet is going to look like. I don't know how you could improve on such a beautiful axe Buckin. Such outstanding axes my friend!
G'day Tom, for the hemisphere in the North a pole 👍🇦🇺.
Man I love a sticky axe. awesome job brother.
Much love from southeast nc buckin Brazilian walnut used to lay many decks on the beach with that wood extremely hard and tough
At 1:20 in, watching the kindling getting stacked in hand made me smile. Where I'm from, that's a rick foundation for my favorite fire starting base.
Haha, exactly how I light my wood stove! 👍🏻 The ax looks pretty good too.😉
When ya jump on the drums before goin out I say to myself geez I just love this guy what a legend , Can’t wait till I can throw a wood bullet into some oak 🙏🏻 god bless
Wicked Build As Usual. Chop Chop ! Prayers For All. ATB T God Bless
great start to the video building the fire and what an axe holy!!!
Thank you Buckin', we'll be kind.

Sweet splitting axe sir good work
That is a beautiful axe 🪓 nice job love yea brother keep er in the woods 🪵
good evening everyone new veiwers welcome be kind it doesn't cost anything spread love not hate
Fire starter. Into half of a 1 gallon jug ( cut off ) I put sawdust and add some oil . Mix. Used motor, lamp, refrigeration, ETC. I scoop a small amount out to put under the kindling. Yes, the selfstarting propane torch is the only way. to start a fire.
Can you release that intro, or if you do have it, the whole song. In either case, I love your videos, thanks for them friend!
Epe. I have some epe deck boards, but never thought to make wedges from them . I will try it. .
ASMR fire lighting by Buckin. 🤫 love it.
Yeah that Ipe is tough. Makes a really nice deck too.
great outtro!
You made a sniper man, beautifull axe!
Was those the new axes you were using the split wood they look very good good video
Love what you did with this one. Will this axe be for sale on your website?
That ax is so sharp!!!!! SCARY
Mr Miyagi has nothying on Buckin slamming a wedge smooth in between the eye!😉👌🙏🌳🌲
You are the Tom Brady of axes.
Buckin, I use that Ipe stuff backed with bamboo to make bows
When u install the wooden wedge, do u have to also install a metal wedge too? Thank you
Wildman Buckin! Wild hair!!! Lol
Hey friends. New to axes and I think I am addicted now lol. So I was curious, is burning the handle for ascetics only or is there some type of functional gain from it? Thank you sir for all the videos, I have been watching them all and am on a bit of a binge lol.
Ipe is the best. You need to pre-drill and countersink it when you're installing decks or it will snap the heads right off the fasteners.
Does burning the handle temper the surface and make it harder?
Old trick for getting the axe head on handle so it'll never, ever slip...anti freeze, yep anti freeze. Once you get the axe hafted to your satisfaction, soak the top of the handle, in the head, in some anti freeze. Water makes wood swell, but it eventually evaporates. Anti freeze don't evaporate, ever and won't rot the wood. Makes the head nice n shiny too!✌
Ahwoooo get one 👍❤️
Do whatever it takes to keep moving forward is how I play it. (JF)
Why do you burn the handles?Is it just for appearance or something else.
What grit of sandpaper are you using to sharpen the axe heads? I’m restoring two old axe heads and I need to sharpen them. I’m of course using hicks hickory handles.
All you really need is a very sharp file and a diamond stone set
Hey buckin' just curious what splitting axe you would reccommend if we arent able to get our hands on one of yours?
Hi buckin my name is Ernest Corbiere from Cornwall Ontario Canada I wrk for j and J tree service I watch your channel religiously and have learned so much. I was wondering if I could buy two wrk axes off you one for me and one for my boss please tell me it's possible to get a couple off you
How would you get into this line of work in the uk?
I’ve been trying for the longest to find a way but I don’t live in the countryside and I cannot find anywhere where I can do this
thanks 4 video. be kind.
Hey Friend Bill. Question fer ya;Why not make an axe handle out of oak?
New sub here. Wondering…. Been splitting wood my whole life with an 8 pound mail. Question… would an axe like that be good for east coast hardwood like Ash Oak Hickory and Apple?? Love em just wondering before I purchase something like that.
Mate, you'll smash it. Start with Flakes off the outside of the round, and you're off to the races.
Was thinking and a little curious how bear claw is haven't seen him for awhile.
Welcome everyone to the greatest family show on earth. Build a ax, cut a tree, sharpen a saw it’s all here and a little drumming too
The stove turns on from above. It pollutes less
Put the tree stump your cutting inside AN OLD TIRE and it will hold it together while you strike it and IT WILL PREVENT ANY INJURIES TO YOUR LEGS!!!! Seriously just try it..... Just find an old tire without the wheel and put the stump inside and go to cutting!!!! I'm also and old Rock drummer from West Texas. Polish those cymbals friend. Hahaha
Which Axe did you send Essential Craftsman ???
thanks
Where can I buy this axe?
What is your favorite axe company?
Big axe my type of axe,just need a sexy handle.
How do I purchase an axe from you.
👋
