A good axe is a great thing to have, but getting someone to show you how to use it properly is priceless, it'll save your hands, back, and knees down the road along with handling it safely. Getting a sharp axe in the shin is no fun whatsoever lol. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
My only wish is that I would have found your channel years ago. I have cut and split wood for over 40 years and had to learn and teach myself sometimes the hard way. You will help many if they listen and watch. Great video my friend 👍👍
I am a fellow woodsplitter who has little need of the un-fun labor of a hydraulic machine. The old man taught me to invert the axe and swing it at a chopping block with the log above the axe when it gets stuck. You wanna watch your head if if comes loose, but it is brutally effective at splitting or clearing the head. I find that I do a lot of dancing with Oregon Oak--just about the most squirrelly stuff that you are ever gonna find.
Hey Buckin, I’ve been watching your channel about a year now. Thanks for keeping old saws, old axes, and tree cutting going in the day we live. I’m 60 and live in Tennessee and grew up with my grandpa cutting wood. He had a 1970 Homelite XL12, (loud rascal), but a good saw. Keep up the good stuff.
Buckin well said.. I have learned a lot over the years in the automotive industry.. some.of it was watching guys like my Dad and take it 1 step further.. so days it didn't work out, but I learned something from it. Having your own experience at whatever it is sometimes can be worth more than having someone show you..
Thank you again for great advice. The species of wood can dictate the type of axe to use. It’s difficult to split tough oak with the golf swing technique.
So glad I found your channel a couple of years ago. Your video on the flick of the axe was good information. Started practicing that techniand and now way less time filing splitting axe. Thank you.
Hey Billy, great video. I have watched your flick technique several times. I was splitting today and it happened on it's own. Wasn't even trying to do it. Firewood went flying in all directions. I was laughing my but off. It does work. Thanks Billy, have a great new year. Looking forward to seeing you at Clay's house
Buckin, I'd love to see how you tackle yellow birch. As a kid my Dad was cutting our firewood and my job was to split and stack... I really dreaded it when I saw yellow birch in the pile, I had just a splitting maul, a hatchet and a couple wedges.
Happy new yr Buckin, 2nd comment in 6 yrs. Quick tip i learned on my own from busting wood for 43yrs ... axes swing on an arch, you can put a piece of wood on its side in front of the log ur splitting and you'll always hit the sideways piece and never touch the ground... no chopping block needed... you can bust wood on concrete slab and you'll always hit the side ways block in front.... axes swing on an arch, .. give it a try.. peace n love brother.
I Love the hand splitting science that You so generously share with us BBR. When I watch you split, I am thinking, planning , the next whack! Right On*
Never used a chopping block in the last 50 years. I learned a lot about kinetic energy getting my engineering degree. That last part of your swing is where most of the energy will be developed by force applied from the body, momentum gaining through the axe head travel and the weight of the axe head. You reduce the gain through momentum and gravity by shortening the swing. That twist or kip of the axe at the end of the swing also directs some of the energy into the split helping to force a stick of wood off the block. Works for me in Tennessee oak, hickory and cherry. Proper hanging of the axe head is important as well. I see so many single bit heads hung incorrectly in relationship to the handle.
Ever go to the fair as watch a muscle bound monster try to ring the bell? He tries to hit the pad with brute force. No cigar😆. Then the skinny carnie rings the bell with one arm. Same thing with a baseball bat, a golf club, an axe or a sledgehammer. Swing don’t hit. 😉👍🏻👌🏻
Buckin, rock or a bar of soap in a sock 🧦. Ted Nugent 🎸 was told by US Navy Seals 🇺🇸 after 911 to pack a billiards ball with your socks 🧦 on you airline carry-on bag. A swing of that will smash a pumpkin 🎃 before a box cutter could even reach you. Let’s roll....🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Buckin I just wanted to say I have been doing your simple exercise ball daily workout to strengthen my core. I am 25 and 300 pounds when I started doing it I didn't let my size hold me back. Your gonna get strong or your not. Anyhow my goal was to complete the workout through the end (one arm and one leg up) by the 22 day mark. When I started I barley could balance on the ball now I come really close to finishing the workout and it has been about 20 days since I started it everyday. Anyhow it has seriously helped my lower back pain it's almost non existent so thank you.
I know carpenters that break one hammer handle a year, and some that still have original wood for decades.. definitely a combo of grain and proper use!
Happy New Year Brother Buckin'!!....Love to you and your Family and all who seek kindred spirits on this site. I am still splitting wood up here in -30C...LOL! Yes, I love these debates, indeed the rectangular section handle is a great thing, it allows precise control of the edge of the blade when chopping and splitting, all the old Soviet Axes were hafted this way and lets face it those old guys and gals in Siberia get through a lot of firewood with minimum tools and toys. I have just rehafted and refinished 4 old soviet Axes, 3 in Ash, the last one in Birch (materials that the Soviets used to use). I also agree Ash is is an extremely fine handle material, we grew up in the UK with Ash as the principal species, springy and absorbs shock quite well. I usually use a LOW block to split, one cut from a stump, I do so because there is a lot of grit in the dirt here and I get sick of re-filing the axe edge. When I lived in the valley I split a lot of large rounds of Ponderosa Pine, they pop open easily, few knots to worry about, up in the forest...different story...tall narrow and often knotty trees means a different approach. Aggressive, inaccurate chopping results in overstrikes that destroy the novices axe handle, chopping has to be a mindful activity. Overstriking a Hickory shaft often results in a longitudinal split that can cut the hand, just the nature of the material. Take care friend...see you again sometime 🙏...stay strong 💪, WS.
@@MATT.MAN-PEACE-LOVE Hey Friend...thanks so much...I hope your 2023 is the best year yet. Yes...I am working on the health and strength for sure in time for the Spring..LOL!! 👍💪🥃🍻
That Liam fellow is quite the blacksmith! I especially like the old school equipment he uses for hammering / shaping the hot-metal … neat stuff for sure! Checked him out on the Instagram
Thank you so much for the many hours of entertainment, knowledge and life's insight of "Old School" ways and means ❤ Happy New Year to ya and many more...
Happy new year to you and your relatives,the real man!💪 This year "I was a good boy" and Santa gave me two new axes: Husquarna 1.6 kg and Husquarna 2.8kg, i am happy like a child😇😂 And five new axes this year at all. Defenitly need to try your technics with my new axes! It'll be useful and quite fun, i think))
Hey Buckin, Could you think about doing a video on axe profiles for different purposes, how to set them, and how to maintain them through use. Thank you.
A few months ago I asked why you preferred axes over mauls. Watching this video I totally understand now.. My local timber stand is super twisted and knotty.. Watching you play with that know mid video, I realized I prefer the maul because that piece you were dealing with is like every other one I come across. The way I deal with those is to sink the maul as best I can and have a 16# sledge close at hand that blasts the maul through most any know zero questions asked. I would cry if I saw someone treat your ax the way I treat my run of the mill maul.
Love the video, as always Buckin’! do you have any recommendations on good splitting axes available for sale online? I’d prefer not to shop at the big box stores. Thanks!
Was in a bad spot injured and had to order split wood years ago. Wasn’t home on delivery and ended up getting mostly all super knotted giant chunks that I couldn’t even use. I’ve been beating the living crap out of these knots laying them down horizontally is the only way for me.
I dropped trees, cut and split them by hand for a number of years. The wood was mostly white ash from my wood lot. The last 20 years of splitting was done with a machine and my back was much better for it. I quit cutting and splitting wood almost 10 years ago and recently the emerald ash borer has killed all my ash trees. I buy my firewood mostly, but still cut and split the occasional storm blowdowns.
Happy new year Buckin’ I still remember Beat claws reaction to the wood bullet that day you were out to his place with the tin man’s homesite. That was a great video. 🎉
ROFLOL ; "old guys" .... well this old guy has rheumatoid arthritis and still splits somewhat ... i may have a flat board and several blocks for differnt size wood . my stove can take upto 27" and good burns there . LOVE your explanations . spot on , bruh . spot on . and i have 6 sets of tongs kuzz hooks bounce , same idear ; dont bend if dont hafta . my knees and back can survive . i just caint find a good size wood handle split ax that isnt a maul . several small , but x7 hatchet almost as good .... so spliton bruh
Mr buckin I always watch your videos and I admire you so much you inspired me to work hard again I have a bad heart that has problems I gave up for awhile but watching you brother gave me so much more to give. Thank you Mr buckin happy New years to you and all your love ones..
I hear ya on the knots. I have some blue spruce with huge knots like that- you just arent going to split through them. Youll beat yourself blind, and shred the wood- the knots still there. You split around them when you can. Otherwise, its time to break out a saw, if you need it smaller. Ash knots, too. Sometimes you can crack em apart. Other times, the chunk just laughs at you. Occasionally, itll grab your axe like a vice, and youll be stuck worse than youve ever been... as an old, not dumb guy, it just cut pieces like that into chunks and be done with it. Itll still burn just fine, even if it isnt in stick form!
Got about 1 hour splittin in today as it was 50degrees here in wny …. I’m a ground pounder myself cept I favor a maul over an axe so if I bust thru and happen to hit pay dirt it ain’t puttin the hurt on me tool (as much as it wood 🪵 an axe 🪓) … the chopping block is ok but imho it takes away valuable time/energy setting the axe/maul down , lifting the chunk up on the block , then having to grab the axe/maul : rinse and repeat. It’s ALOTTA wasted motion imho. Using a hookaroon to stand up chunks vertically on the ground and then bust thru em one at a time seems to be the most productive use of one’s time and energy … your mileage may vary
We recently had some dying Ash and Elm trees cut down and I've been bucking and splitting them. I wish I had straight grain wood like you do. I muscle through it, and get a cord in a few days. How do you handle knotty hard woods by hand?
Great video and great advice Buckin. I wish I had a good splitting axe but I don't. I've got a good chopping axe. What would you recommend for a good splitting axe
Ha i see the efficiency of motion in your methods as well as the experience and confident precision that i would not recommend to most ... ive seen axes into ankles and feet by people that dont have the experience or proper technique or foot wear
I still have trouble doing the flick. After watching some of your other videos on axe sharpening, I've noticed that my axe is ground off center which is probably most of my issue.
Hey buckin thank you so much for the response, what exhaust would you recommend for the 362 Stihl , I know it’s a mid-power saw but I’d like it to run to full potential. I have no problem sending it to you if you choose.. let me know thank you...Tim
A gem: stop spending energy on being right. "Have your own experience" YES this is so true.
Yes.. What is neat this statement goes towards whatever industry you are in.. but it's always wise to listen to those who know more than me..
I never really found pleasure in splitting wood in my younger days but absolutely love it now, its like a fun puzzle. Thanks to you Buckin 👍
YOU BET
A good axe is a great thing to have, but getting someone to show you how to use it properly is priceless, it'll save your hands, back, and knees down the road along with handling it safely.

I learned that technique from Charles Bronson on the original magnificent seven. Works like a charm.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow in a live chat, to start the new year Buck’n
I had no idea how interesting and different axes could be, but I love them now! Thanks for all the great info!
Each one has it's own style and each handle is different also. Buckin knows his axes
Hey Buckin, I’ve been watching your channel about a year now. Thanks for keeping old saws, old axes, and tree cutting going in the day we live. I’m 60 and live in Tennessee and grew up with my grandpa cutting wood. He had a 1970 Homelite XL12, (loud rascal), but a good saw. Keep up the good stuff.

N ever spilt wood, tried as a kid but not for 40 years...Love to be out there with you Billy Ray. Just love your vids. PJ (Derby, UK)
hi peter
Am addicted ti your video !
I have a fiberglass handle china maul. It has split lots of wood, so far i don't hate it. For the BIG knots, hydraulics.
I have some kind of plastic handle on my sledgehammer. It’s kind of bendy, but if ya just swing it, it hits hard and absorbs shock to your body. 👍🏻👌🏻
12:24 could be a “drum-beat” intro to a song!!👍
Where can we get similar axes to yours? Love the shape of the head
Have a good week brother
Great video and great advice Buckin. I wish I had a good splitting axe but I don't. I've got a good chopping axe. What would you recommend for a good splitting axe
Fiskars x25 or x27
HAPPY NEW YEAR BUCKIN WE LOVE YA BUDDY!!!
That was some perfect hand forged one off piece. I feel funny
hahaha Itr happening brother
A lot of energy spent, all for knot. 😂
Please let us know when we can preorder the wood bullet.
Ha i see the efficiency of motion in your methods as well as the experience and confident precision that i would not recommend to most ... ive seen axes into ankles and feet by people that dont have the experience or proper technique or foot wear
I'm with you Buckin....Happy New Year Brother!!!
Another gem of a video, just want to pass on a happy safe new year Buckin.
APPRECIATE YOU
@ 6:07 sounds like Dr. Evil on Austin Powers 🤣 "the snot out of"
1) How heavy is that axe?
3-1/2 - 4?
2) where can I get a Wood Bullet?
"The man who makes the axe... "
Love that!!!🪓🪓🪓
Love you all....❤❤❤
Lieutenant Bradley
Is Liam Hoffman making the wood bullets!?!
Man, I have enough wood split for the night. But now I have to do a quick wheelbarrow load… 😂
I’ve had crazy women but haven’t had a crazy axe yet
I still have trouble doing the flick. After watching some of your other videos on axe sharpening, I've noticed that my axe is ground off center which is probably most of my issue.
HAPPY NEW YEAR BUCK
Nice video
Hey buckin thank you so much for the response, what exhaust would you recommend for the 362 Stihl , I know it’s a mid-power saw but I’d like it to run to full potential. I have no problem sending it to you if you choose.. let me know thank you...Tim
