Billy Ray, I want to thank you for setting the example that "manly men" do not have to use the "F" word. Thank you very much. from a father of three sons.
My father had a sawmill and I was just a little tot to five years old and then we moved away from it. I learned a lot from my father. I never logged or anything, I did a little firewood, not much. I had a really hard time sharpening my saw since, even though my father was great at it. I’ve been watching these videos and I’ve improved on a lot on my sharpening. I got some saws so I started cutting stuff again enjoying it a lot. Thank you.
Ya got me tearing up. I think of my dad every time I make fire which is pretty much every day since I’ve lived in state forests of Minnesota for 30 months now.”You need fuel, heat and oxygen, he’d say. I’m always obsessed about optimizing those essential ingredients.
Buckin is a true legend and a tank when it comes to hand splitting a true work horse with words of wisdom I have been cutting and climbing for 15 years and to this day learn new things from him and even tho he is just on TH-cam he has changed my life and tought me to be a better man to other people and to help others that need it and to teach people new things that are willing to learn your a good man and love whenever you post thank you for all you do buckin
GET SOME OF THAT BROTHER I LOVE THIS WORK .we don't have trees like this .we have to wait till it freezes like 10 below or have to use a spliter machine
You didn’t wanna use the log splitter lol. I had my axe out a while ago and I cracked without knowing. I talk to jones and he said send the axe head back and he’ll put it on gitoba handle on it . What a nice guy . Thanks Daniel
Yer day looks alot like my day olepal,just I do mine after I get home from prison work, lol. I love doing that stuff and I really enjoy watching your videos at night Buckin. Thankyou for all that you do!
Haha we just sold our bull recently after our new calf was born, they always gotta check everything out and always want to fight it, it was exhausting, couldn't leave anything in the meadows unattended for 30 mins or hed have a crack at it. And if you had work to do you were always checking your back. And that sharpening trick looks much more comfortable than how we were taught in forestry, you'd hold the saw on the grond between your knees and hunch over. This looks more comfortable.
Thanks Buckin for the great content!! I learned along time ago to start on the outside of the wood when splitting instead of going down the middle. That Dolmar sounds great!! Love wins brother stay Buckin!!
Hey Buckin, greetings from snow bound Minnesota. Splitting is where I get my peace as well. I thought I knew how to split until I started watching you. So much better and faster at 62 than I was at 32. Live strong and swing a sharp axe. Blessings
All my love to you Buckin! from Indiana. You have inspired me more than I can say. I just got my first double bit vintage Craftsman and am going to hang it tomorrow. You make me strive to be a better man each day. Keep doing what you’re doing brother.
You look like a very energetic man cool plaid shirt and it looks like a very nice day that's what it looks like to me then again I could have missed something hope you having fun bubble
Great live feed. You shared a lot of good information here today. Always good to keep up with the saw sharpening techniques . The viewer can be doing things just a little off, and the performance may not be where they think it should be. Raker tips was very good advice. Thanks again for all you do.
Back 45 years ago, I cut a lot of firewood here in Tenn, dad bought a 72' Chevy 3/4 ton Camper Special, we made a protective piece out of planks/ 2/4's that fit in standard holes, you could lay it in the truck bed, wood loading days, install it, protected the back glass good.
Brother, I am so grateful for you! Your teachings are such that I have been able to develop my skills and help those who need it. Thank you from the center of my being!
Billy Ray! Dig your always tossing around the positivity and good vibes no matter what some folks may critique about your style on how you do your wood whittlin' business. Been working on some fat ol' mesquite trees down on my land way down in South Texas. Been watching your videos and taking lotsa' notes on safe & efficient ways of getting it done. Keep edumacatin' up all us "regular" workin' Joe's. - Thanks amigo.
I'm watching at 1:17 am northeastern NEVADA time cuz these videos are great and I can't sleep any more I'm frigging retired and have tons of energy Heck yeah
Great videos been following you for quite awhile I to still cut firewood for extra money ,but I am getting old and can't split wood with a ax no more but bought a wood splitter ,but I realy enjoy cutting wood ,keep up the videos old friend realy enjoy them
Hey billy I like the way you talk to us throughout every step when you cut down the trees and show us how to tie off in a very safe way when falling the trees and thank you very much more
Hey buckin you are an inspiration to me bud love to work hard cut wood an most of all spread love an peace keep growing my brother see ya in the timber one day
Just catching up with ya I was busy shooting a video of my own. Love your channel because I learn something every time from you or your friends. All good in the hood. Yes, too hungry you lose control with your under cuts and back cuts, sharp but control. Low rakers and sharp teeth for bucking so she pulls a little, another lesson from ya, love it.
Helpin out... 100% I have cut a few trees over the years, not a faller, nor a trimmer. You have taught me to some stuff that has tripled or quadrupled my skills. TY Bucking, BBRS. Who knows you probably have saved many injuries, and even to the point of death. Your info is valuable, and its free! I send donations when i can.. love ya man. and it helps to have a great wife also! IF YOU EVER take Myrtle on a SE Texas trip i got some bad ass trees... lol love ya man..Keep the faith. Work hard, Be honest, and be kind.. great wisdom from SE Texas Bear
You are inspiring me to quit my 9-5, and chase my dreams once again, I had it then I lost it for some years now, but watching your channel is life changing
it matters not yer age ,,''' I should of '''' are not good word for any one to say , specially when yer 80 , do what ever the heck you want , its yours to do so with
When I was 8 years old, dad had me out splitting Ponderosa pine with an 8lb maul. It took me forever to split anything, but it taught me to work hard. To this day, I love going up into the quiet woods to cut and split a load of firewood. I'm garbage at falling trees, but I do it as safe as possible and get it done.
Hey man, i metal detect as a hobby in New England. Find axe heads quite a bit, ranging from 100-200yrs old. I refurbish them as best i can (you would be surprised how well the majority clean up. Some still end up pretty pitted to be clear.) The most common shape i find have that "bullet" shape to the axe head. Which makes sense as i usually find them around old stone cellar holes, they probably wanted a axe that could chop as well as split. Anyhow, thought you may find this interesting. Happy Holidays Brother.
No thank you BR. You’re a true inspiration and a great teacher . I’m 30 now but I was raised by my grandparents , and we burned wood for heat my entire life. I hated cutting wood back when I was a boy and thought there was better things to do back then. But now I realize how great swinging that ax is for you mind, body, and spirit!
@@BuckinBillyRaySmithy grandpa is will be 77 in January and this was the first year he was going to no burn wood bc he’s just not able to do it like he used to so I took it upon my self to buy myself a saw and plenty of axes and a maul for that gnarly oak and other twisted, knotted stuff. And I’ve cut and split atleast 5 cords for them and I plan on cutting atleast 1 tree a week so I can stock pile and fill their wood shed and the back slab so they will never have to worry about having heat in the winter!! And I owe a lot of the inspiration to really get into this again with you showing how you can split with an ax !! I hope to meet you one day and v split some logs with you one day Buck! Stay kind and keep being your up beat positive self bc you’re helping many men my age I can feel a resurgence coming on!
I had found Bjarne Buttler on TH-cam a few months ago, & It just happened to run one of your videos, (500i) video, you were letting it idle & calibrate. You were pretty excited looking In the video!! Dude you are a stud, love you video skills & you say friend lots!!! Very COOL 👍🧡🌲🧡🌲🧡🌲 I subscribed immediately, I own & operate two Woodmizer Saw mills in UT,just got back from Montana with a bed exstintion. I have cut & split wood for several years over 35, I was born in 1969. I just started a TH-cam channel The Kilted Sawyer Let me know if you want to watch, Heck ya, on getting my axe stuck!!? I have several Gransfors Bruk's implants Made in Swesen
I remember when I first found this channel. I needed a new axe. Went to the internet. Found this psycho in a wood pile slamming chunks everywhere. Hit subscribe. That was ten years ago. Now I'm about to buy a 500i thanks a lot.
I enjoy these video's. I have become curious how an axe would perform in these eastern hardwoods that I deal with, I have used a maul exclusively. I mostly seek red, white oak and hickory, their btu value is high. I have some axe heads that I inherited from rural elders that I need to try and remount. The one time I tried to use an axe it was a big box store special and unbelievably the axe head broke, lol.
so Long time STIHL guy , 80s 266 was legend . we STILL able to sell against it thoe ; all were adjusted to SCREAM 16000 rpm !! and blew up chains . sold LOTS of chains but in pulp , with a GOOD operator , they were great . ONLY Husky i truly wood love to own . also , Dolmar 120 😊 dont wanna be greedy thoe 😅
I have a five pound council tools fallers ax that they sell as a splitter and it stays stuck in Red Oak plus it wears me out because it is five pounds and I have heart problems....Great video!!!

Great educational episode!! Most of the wood I split is full of knots and this gave me some excellent tips to make it easier!! Keep it up Buckin!!
Dad called them big chunks that couldn't be split "over nighters" because it would burn in the stove all night. 😂
That's a beautiful property, I really enjoy the privilege of the changing scenery that comes with our work.
Love the power saw action . you are a G.O.A.T of the power saw passion!!
You didn’t wanna use the log splitter lol. I had my axe out a while ago and I cracked without knowing. I talk to jones and he said send the axe head back and he’ll put it on gitoba handle on it . What a nice guy . Thanks Daniel

Haha we just sold our bull recently after our new calf was born, they always gotta check everything out and always want to fight it, it was exhausting, couldn't leave anything in the meadows unattended for 30 mins or hed have a crack at it.

That's good wood. So is my silver bone dry Northern Arizona oak. There is something addicting about wood cutting/gathering.
I have just bought a stihl 661 chine saw and I fired it up to day what a tool it cuts like a animal
That's an awesome axe 🪓 with two heads, keep on buckin and stay elevated everyone ✌️❤️🌲🪓🐝😁👍

Glancing back, he says, "Look at that animal out there:"
Appropriately, he leaves the camera fashioned on himself!!! 💜👍🏾✝️💪🏾
LOL, I always talk back to the Crows too Billy!!!
Thx Buckin. I just used the method of splitting junks away from the outside on narly stump pieces. It works!
That is some easy bustin wood....must take a lot of it to keep a fire going all day on a really cold day.
I'm with you Buckin, give to whoever is in need but skip that video , we all know your spirit .....
I had found Bjarne Buttler on TH-cam a few months ago, & It just happened to run one of your videos, (500i) video, you were letting it idle & calibrate.

Cow wanted to know what, you, where doing!! Lol
I sure love the handling of those axe. Personally I think the man makes the axe, not the axe making the man.
I enjoy these video's. I have become curious how an axe would perform in these eastern hardwoods that I deal with, I have used a maul exclusively. I mostly seek red, white oak and hickory, their btu value is high. I have some axe heads that I inherited from rural elders that I need to try and remount.
