thanks for everything you do billy, watching your videos pulled me out of a dark place ive been in for a long time, and last night i got my first tree removal/ partial logging job under my own llc for the minnesota dnr! much love!
Learning to hang axes your way has been great for me. I've made and sold about 80 and none of them have come loose and the feedback has been great! Thanks Billy!
I have been a fan a long time my friend and hung my first axe today…correctly. Right before I sold my folk’s place I found a very rusted Boy’s Axe head. 2 1/4 lb. The little axe will live with me forever. I want to thank you for showing me how to hang it properly my friend. It meant a great deal to me. mp
Hi Buckin Guess what I said on monday , on the way home I stopped to plow my sons driveway out I got stuck in the ditch I had to walk home 20 degrees windy then plow my driveway with tractor 2 hours tow truck couldnt winch me out until next day and you know what I said ? OH WELL . thanks brother
Green and black is the best color combination! After watching you for a little over a year now I finally hafted my own axes! They didn't turn out great for my first time but I love them and they are functioning! Just need to do about 500 more to get the hang of it 😂
Found your channel around the end of summer was rebuilding a old 266 I found in the junk pile seen this guy no sleeves hair slicked bucking with a piped 266 and he’s Canadian alright my man went from 2 saws to 8 and started hanging axes and now I’m building my own handles cheers BBR you are a great Canadian
Dallas that is a sweet set of axes you got there buddy. Love watching your excitement and spirit runnin high Buckin. Just awesome. Love ya brother. 🌲❤🌲👊🪓
As much as I love your axe videos today, I miss the old days where you got so excited putting in metal wedges, then I use to love watching you burn the handles then put the watco on while it was still hot, then putting watco on the eye. Great times, I've been with ya for years now and when I can afford it I want a taz bucking special so bad. Great stuff bucking, everyone stay kind
I love it!! I’m hanging a wedge beater for my buddy this afternoon. Beautiful rafting pattern head. It’s a no name and the pole isn’t hardened, but it’s got the weight and wide butt that those wedges love! I got tricked and assumed that it was a real rafting head because of the shape. Plastic wedges won’t hurt it’s butt anyway, so everything is fine and great. Great stuff man!
I’ve got a store bought axe that the handle broke on me but it had one of those round wedges in it, so I bought a new proper hickory handle and reused the round metal wedge and it’s always stayed tight since. It seems like a good method.
@@minnesotatomcat thanks! 👍🏽 I actually was able to salvage the handle and shape it to fit the eye. No I have a mini hatchet to take with me on day hikes. It's a cutie! Ha! ☺️😂
Back in the day when you had less than 5K subs you built me one like that (smaller) it had a deer head on it and said made in China under the deer art. Just started using a little this winter to chop some ice off the dog and cat water. It has hung on the wall in my house till now. Love the little fella, got two round wedges in also..........great show Buckin'!!!!
I remember you used to drive another round wedge in right on top of the first wedge so you put 4 round wedges in. Yeppers it would never move. Love ya Buckin. Be kind
Hi Buckin , I’m a new subscriber from the UK , lovin your videos ! I’m old school too , I drive an old 1970s series 2 109 pick up & been using chainsaws since my early 20s , I’m 61 now 😃
After watching the care and attention you always pay to tuning jets, sharpening chains and hanging axes, I have no doubt about the kind of axe heads you will make. Take your time and learn from the best people in the know. Get the steel on the roof of the new shop, then give 'er. We're all behind you on this new chapter on your trip. ✌
never clean up your shop, you will find nothing the next day, hahahaha this is a decend hang , my friend! a great day to ya and the army of kindness! stay safe and kind, friends.
In all my 45 years on this planet,....I've never laughed so hard in my entire life. This guy is an absolute riot.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's too much. The enthusiasm is over the freakin top!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pure RUclips gold.
Hey Billy! Hello friends! I've been a loyal subscriber on this channel for more than 3 years. I want you to know that you helped me get over some difficult times, work on myself and make my own mood good (even though it wasn't). I love you and everyone in this community, even though we don't know each other. To Billy and everyone here, I wish you and your family to have the best! A friend from Greece, Thanos. :D
I missed the live at five..with buckin billy ray..but i watched later..great..! um hangin 2bit ..um goin with the roun wedge now...yeah nice...thank you!!
hey buckin, love the content! whats that your using to countersink those wedges? is it a modified bolt or something else? would appreciate any help. thanks
Thanks for sharing that Billy, nice job. Are you going to move that workbench and ax making tools into the forge workshop? Maybe switch out of what's in there now, not forge tools.
Where can the average Joe buy the circular wood expanders? That looks amazing, thanks for sharing! Happy 2022! I have a half dozen or so heads that need new handles.
I went to whiskey river on recommendation. Great handles. I went with the premium and got the purple heart wedges for something special. Totaly worth it.
Yes Sir wadka and steel wedges ! Form the start 2018 2017 I belive don't quote me you were heavy into them but your wedges have changed from then (: must of missed the video sorry 😞 you Keep on keeping on Stay Kind ! 😎👷♂️
Hey Buckin, have you ever hung an axe on an osage orange handle? Or hedgeapple/bodark as we call it also. Just curious how they hold up vs hickory or ash.
Going off its specs osage orange will most likely be a little heavier than a hickory handle but it should hold up better than any other domestic species.
Where can I find prices for these bad boys??I would love to swing one of those 5 pounders. I'v used a 10 pound 🪓 all my life and to be truthful I thought thats what ever one used. It might just be that Buckin has bigger arms than me and just makes it look like cuttin butter with a lighter one... Buck on brother!!
The easiest way for most common ( and decent to above average quality manufacturers) is take your head weight in pounds and multiply it by ten to get your handle length in inches-for axes and hatches. Now this formula might get thrown out the window when you’re dealing with custom/competition axes but it should get you in a safe ballpark for 99 percent of your needs. I did some basic research and can credit Mr Dogstar from the BushcraftUSA forum for this genius advice and his putting a chart together for all of the top manufacturers offerings. Don’t forget that the handle length is from the top of the axe head all the way to the handles end🤙🏼
I don't think you're a nut case, I think you're funny and cool as all get up!!! I love gettin' excited over successes just like you!! Keep goin'!!! btw, what is the tool you used to countersink?

Aw Cletus 😁
I’ve got a store bought axe that the handle broke on me but it had one of those round wedges in it, so I bought a new proper hickory handle and reused the round metal wedge and it’s always stayed tight since. It seems like a good method.
Same thing happened me! Did you use a traditional wood wedge and the round metal ones or just the round metal ones?
@@Parksandsoul just the round metal ones like it had
@@minnesotatomcat thanks! 👍🏽 I actually was able to salvage the handle and shape it to fit the eye. No I have a mini hatchet to take with me on day hikes. It's a cutie! Ha! ☺️😂

If only Purple Haze had come on when the smoke rolled off of that iron😂
Thanks for sharing that Billy, nice job. Are you going to move that workbench and ax making tools into the forge workshop? Maybe switch out of what's in there now, not forge tools.
Where can the average Joe buy the circular wood expanders? That looks amazing, thanks for sharing! Happy 2022! I have a half dozen or so heads that need new handles.
Ebay. I think they are H B. Style Wedges . they usually 1 cone and not the double cone
SAME HERE BILLY! I got a wedge banger (4lbs.) and a splitter (5lbs.) that need handles. I NEED HANDLES!
I went to whiskey river on recommendation. Great handles. I went with the premium and got the purple heart wedges for something special. Totaly worth it.
Yes Sir wadka and steel wedges ! Form the start 2018 2017 I belive don't quote me you were heavy into them but your wedges have changed from then (: must of missed the video sorry 😞 you Keep on keeping on Stay Kind ! 😎👷♂️
I want one !!!
Hey Buckin, have you ever hung an axe on an osage orange handle? Or hedgeapple/bodark as we call it also. Just curious how they hold up vs hickory or ash.
Going off its specs osage orange will most likely be a little heavier than a hickory handle but it should hold up better than any other domestic species.

It might just be that Buckin has bigger arms than me and just makes it look like cuttin butter with a lighter one... Buck on brother!!
Hey buddy. First off thank you for what you do. How do you determine how long of a handle to use on a axe and a hatchet
The easiest way for most common ( and decent to above average quality manufacturers) is take your head weight in pounds and multiply it by ten to get your handle length in inches-for axes and hatches.
Now this formula might get thrown out the window when you’re dealing with custom/competition axes but it should get you in a safe ballpark for 99 percent of your needs.
I did some basic research and can credit Mr Dogstar from the BushcraftUSA forum for this genius advice and his putting a chart together for all of the top manufacturers offerings.
Don’t forget that the handle length is from the top of the axe head all the way to the handles end🤙🏼
Youre a beautiful man William, you remind me of my Pa. I bet theres nothing you dont do for your family 🤝
Where do I find these round wedges, signed new watcher from Ontario, thanks
When are you running the 500i with the straight shot? I just installed a straight shot on my 462. Absolutely Amazing difference.
very soon
“Sha-Clank-A-Roni”
yip
When you splay wood and it cracks wood, do the crack gaps weaken the splay?
id love to know the name of the tool or whatever hes using to drive those wedges in deeper
VERY COOL OLD SCHOOL ALL THE WAY
I like the diamond wedge
I love you Billy I love you
It’s a real beautie. Has fs stamped on it. It’s a Kelly works true temper
How in the corn dog heck did you do that camera magic effect wizardry @ 13:55?
You are a nut case :0
Real talk about letting the poor sob in
I don't think you're a nut case, I think you're funny and cool as all get up!!! I love gettin' excited over successes just like you!! Keep goin'!!! btw, what is the tool you used to countersink?
Hey Buckin where do you get those metal wedges??? Having a hard time finding non China wedges......
What handle linghth do you like for a wedge banger
Just setting up a new one myself and would also like to know. 24"?
