Buckin, hands down my favorite video and I’ve watched ALL of em’. My eyes were glued to the screen for all 43:32! Your axe content is head and shoulders above anything other youtube videos in the genre. I’m always yackin my head off to my buddies about ya, they probably wanna strangle me by now haha. In all seriousness, Buckin, you’re a super hero and a legend in the axe community. Your kind disposition and passion for life and all that you do has inspired me to be my best self. I come from a generation that lacks positive role modes, I ain’t afraid to say it, you’re mine. I hope to be half the man you are when I’m a bit more seasoned. Sorry for the long comment I just needed you to know you’re changing lives and I love ya buckin. AXE ON

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I will stay with you until the end Billy ..... Mine or yours! ROFL! Keep playin' with trees and I may be the last one standing ...... PLEASE be careful n safe Mate ...... 🧡🙏😊
I know EXACTLY what you mean about someone NOT SHOWING their "secrets" when doing a job! I was a newly hired staking engineer for an electric utility company and we had an engineer that was nearing retirement and was suppose to "show me the ropes". But when we got onto the job site he told me right up that he was not going to show me ANYTHING! He said he had to learn on his own and therefore he was not going to pass anthing on. As it was, he was true to his word, and taught no one anything. He thought he was the best at what he was. And he was! He was an asshole and he was the best at it!!! Turns out that I became a better engineer, doing twice the work in half the time with more efficiency than he ever did. But guess what? As I neared retirement I took the new engineers out in the field with me and I SHARED EVERYTHING I KNEW with them, as I took pride in my work and I wanted them to be the best THEY could be! The bottom line is that we worked for our customers. Those that used our electricity. And they deserved the best! So I loved hearing you say the same thing. Sharing what you know and holding nothing back! Thank you for that!!!
I work as a mechanic in a factory. I have no problem showing the new guys what I know. It makes them independent and don't have to call me over to help them on everything.
Friend the yard stick hit me for a doozie last year when I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in september.I'm 25 years old,from Bulgaria and had 2 exams left before I got my doctors degree in medicine.Went trough a lot of ups and downs in the past half year but I'll tell ya bud I've realized a lot of important things in that short time.I had my bone marrow transplant in december and now I feel good, it will be another couple of years until i can be more certain that the damn cancer won't come back but even though not much is certain at this point I don't really think about it that much.Most of the time honestly I'm happy as I much like you feel like I'm living on borrowed time.In this great adversity I've been able to see something few people get to see while they are alive and that is what they mean to other people and to see how many of them love you.Keep spreading the love friend and know that as long as I'm still around I'll be watching you.Best of health and lots of love from a friend !
Love the Yard Stick of Life. Been watching a bit here and there for a few weeks. Just subscribed. I’m 52. My view on living is aligned with what you said. Be kind 😃
Your so positive and a perfect example of what a man should be. Your definitely a role model for those of us who really didn’t have that outstanding male figure in their lives so thank you👌
billy dont take this the wrong way i think it is funny i know that you like to hang onto old stuff but you got to change the sand paper on the small sander i bet it is the same sandpaper that it came with anyway great job buddy
I just started following you because the Morgan’s said to check out your posts! I remember when I was in school I’d say I can’t wait to be 21. Now I wish I was a kid at times! Man I’d love to talk to you about Jesus and accepting him in your life! You have a wonderful soul don’t throw it away.
I still can’t get over the fact that subs all came together and donated their time, effort, and money, to build the bunker! It’s amazing, think about it. This community is something special hats off to Buckin’s soldiers of kindness 🎯👍👍👍🌅 Sam
Love this content, I come here to learn how to fix my axe handles...then I get so much more. I can't bring myself to skip a single second, and I usually do on most other channels and their videos. But I just can't skip a single thing here. The main reason for me is because I just want to hear every word he has to say and read every word that pops up on the screen. God Bless Buckin' Billy Ray Smith! By FAR the best channel I have found, Thank You!
Buckin Id just wanted to drop in and say thank you for being such a role model to all of us. I, like most, have struggled, my whole life. To be happy and positive.. What you are doing here, spreading kindness and influencing people to always stay positive, is working my friend.
This guy is great. Started watching with a video comparing axe types and have watched several since. His attitude is strangely calming and his videos uplifting and informative, if a bit meandering. But his philosophical tangents are soothing
Billy! I usually don’t watch lengthy how-to s on account of how I want the cash money not a bunch of hype. Having said that you are just an animal and worth watching and giving good cash money info. Thanks.
Buckin' Billy - you have the right attitude and I'm glad you share your motivation and encourage kindness! Your thinking and appreciation for others is a rarity these days. I really appreciate the insight and knowledge I get from your videos. You deserve a great kudos for all you have given to all who choose to watch. Thank you.
Very nice on the re-handle my friend, Great fit now,before it looked a bit wonky..LOL Is that even a word,anyway each and everyone who comes here,passes through here, or has alway's been here,much love and good health to you all..Take Care out there friend's..
Cynthia Herr yes it is a word Cynthia if used in that sense it's ok to look a bit wonky but not to feel a bit wonky, not that I've ever felt wonky & I don't think I would tell anyone if I did feel wonky LOL love you too sister ❤️👍
This is the video that changed everything for me saved me I guess you could say. This is more of a comment so I can find this video back again when I need that axe handle talk. Thank you Buckin.
Thanks to your Irish mate Wooly for dropping your name randomly in one of his shows. That's what led me here. While timber is the common interest in both your channels, I'm sticking around the both of you for the philosophy, especially about the way that we should be treating each other. I have to agree that we are all a little whacko, but, I found out at 67, after retiring, that there was a genuine reason for my "whackiness". Whilst I've had an amazing life, good and bad times, and raised an amazing family, my issues surely shaped my life, even though I was unaware that I had any problem at all. Gratefully, I still have physical health, which I can see that I should be looking after more. I think I saw you say that we shouldn't be taking our health for granted a day or two back. So, I'll have to support the channel with a subscription, and out of this video, I'm going to rip the head off my axe, and deal to the ledge that I created when I replaced the busted handle a couple of years back. Thanks for the tips. Peace...
Thanks so much for making this video Buckin! I never thought about re-handling an axe in my life until finding your channel a few months ago. Now I’m working on my 6th axe, and my favorite part is trying to save the old handle like you’re doing here. I’ve been going to yard sales every weekend in hopes of finding old axes to refurbish. Your vids are so much fun, and your tips are top notch! Thanks again brother!!
Rock on Bucking...this is one of the best videos on RUclips it's informative on many levels. I love your detailed explaining of the proper Craftsmanship of fitting this handle into the axe head. What a living inspiration you are Buckin! At 73 I'm happy to be able to work up wood for home heat and do whatever else I can to make life better for those around me and myself. Thanks again dear kind friend.
Sweet resurrection Buckin' I appreciate the removal of the ledge and the smooth taper in it's place. Wicked shave, burn and Watca finish. I love my buckin' special, and that guy's gonna' REALLY love his now. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you B-boy for the inspiration! I grew up on farms with many glorious hours throwing an axe into all kinds of wood.now I am retired and I built a huge wood fired oven in the backyard for pizza, veggies, steaks... I am splitting four cords a year of red oak into large kindling with a box store axe... yikes. You have inspired and educated me on how important a good axe is! I will search, I will find, I will attain the goal of finding that sweet friend that an axe should be! Keep on buckin !
Really nice resurrection...love to see old axes come to life again :) I TOLD YOU THAT DIDN'T I ?? A warm welcome to anyone who joined in lately, hope you enjoy it here. Be kind everybody, and take care :)
George Vinson 👏👏👏, nice resurrection Buckin where's you're shirt lol. Shout out to all who took part in the bunker again it really is tops. Thumbs up all the way friends 💪❤️👍
You make me wanna hang an axe handle brother, but I cant because they're all intact. I use gransfor bruks to process my own wood for my bbq catering. I'm 55 yrs. young and you my friend are an inspiration. Thanks for all you do ...love ya amigo
I was just telling my friends on Facebook that my kids are like little hour glasses running around (just watching the time fly right before my eyes), and you know what...? You and me are the same vintage. Yeah I am a '71er. Looking at the stick of life it kinda hits ya. Thanks for the channel!
Billy ray i have to say you'd be one asome friend. You've got one of the best out looks on life. Something i havent seen since i moved to Florida 8yrs ago. So keep on inspiring and helping people. And thank you for sharing your knowledge.that was something my father told me knowledge is power and make sure you learn something new every day. Take care. Mr Smith sincerely Allan Biggs
I bought my property from the family of a wood man. In the shed there are some old axes that are well used but very sharp. Only one is usable as the handles have seen better days. Trying to learn from you to keep my old axes alive. There are no identifying marks that I can tell but I am going to try to clean em up a bit. Need to find a source for handles or maybe make my own. Thank you, sir!
Buckin', just discovered your channel. Got to say, I love your zest for life, your attitude and compassion for others! Oh, and the info is amazing. I feel like we're old friends. Great job brother! I'm working on watching all your videos, Kevin.
I have a little collins legitimus axe like that I am putting a handle on. It was an army issue with the US stamped on it. Enjoyed the video especially the part about life and the handle. I am 65 so beyond the halfway mark and you are so right about time going faster. Thanks for all you do!
Love it! Positive message, lighthearted, but full of information and tricks of the trade. Had to watch the entire video. I am just getting started with refurbishing axes and hatches so very much appreciate all the practical insights. Keep making videos. I'm a fan.
You are 1 in a million buddy !!!! My kids love you too. I officially have most of my clients watching you now too and they dont like axes or power saws..lol...it must be you brother !!! Love ya man , keep it up Billy 👍👍♥️♥️
Decal Decal.....you are the man as well. Again, thanks for all you bring here to this channel. What a force you bring here . Keep er up Decal, ur a good man !!
Hey Billy Ray, I just chanced on your site and passed it on to my friends. I'm in the process of going from one to the next. IMO it is the most entertaining and information filled site I have ever been in. Congrats and keep going.
I think you might be a little nuts, but I dig it! Just found your channel. Love your positive message, and learned a little somethin’ too! Thanks for doing what you do, Buckin’ Billy. 👍🏼👍🏼😊
Tuned in because I'm attempting to rehang a vintage hudson bay boys axe. Couldn't watch all the way through. 5 to 10 min content in 43 min. Got same info elsewhere on YT and forums. EGI vibe too, prevents me from watching, like many high volume YT channels.
Lovin' your channel. So light hearted and just a joy to watch. Your resurrection of that ax was fantastic and I know I would be proud to have and use that ax. In fact I just got an old 2 1/4 lb W German ax and I am learning from your videos how to resurrect it.
Just want to say hellow to all the good people of the buckin army and the man himself good looking out and sharing your knowledge and message much love to all and be kind
You are absolutely spot on with that time thing, I have always told my kids the same thing and now they are reaching their 30s they have noticed, and yes a little madness is good for the soul, who on earth would want to be "normal" haha
Good morning Buckin Nice job as usual what a beautiful day, all the best everyone have a great day glad to hear Chester is on the up side, probably ate a mushroom 🍄 ha ha poor guy, well heading out to conquer the world ha ha keep em comin
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith, money is part of the hold up. I need to buy the materials to make the wedges. I'll be able to buy what I need over the weekend. I tried using a bigger size pipe and my tongs slipped and I about broke my own nose. I wish I could send you a picture of that. I stayed positive about it though. I actually looked around for who sucker punched me and laughed when I realized I was alone.
To your point you made when you came in naked - lol - thanks for sharing some of your techniques! A claw hammer works great. Thanks for that!. I picked up a mintly little HB 2.5 lber week ago. I love it!
Hey Buckin,, been Savin this vid to watch till I got ready to rehang a vintage true temper Pulaski, I hope I can follow your wisdom to make a quality fit.. stay well my friend..
He Buckin can you please look at your messenger? I send a small vid about some wood I found here to make my own handles and want to know your opinion. Thanks Sir.
Buck, the be kind mentality is in a lot of the woody areas of the US but once you get to a town or anything people are usually pretty rude and unpleasant.
great tips buckin and it looks like you have a undercutter next to the wood stove should show the channel what a undercutter is i bet they think its a pulaski thumbs up bud
When you are 1 year old, a year is a lifetime. When you are 50, a year is 1/50 of a lifetime. You would have to live to be 1000 years old to perceive a life that's double 100 years! Just my thoughts.
@Samuel Eden I think Sandy Price has the right idea, but maybe didn't express it clearly enough. So I 'll give it a try. To a 20 year old, 10 years represents 50% of his life to that point. To a 50 year old, 10 years represents only 20% of he's life at that point. It's all about ratios and perception. In other words to a 50 year old, 10 years feels like it's gone by 5 times faster than it would feel to a 10 year old. That is why as we get older the years appear to go by faster and faster.
Dude I am a fan I love your videos. I have an old axe the handle has my local Co-Ops name engraved in the handle with an kelly perfect old flint edge double bit I want to do this exact thing to it. Thanks for posting I need help bad restoring the axe I have never done it
Good tip: Wedgie removal that don't hurt. Hey, Buckin are you 100% steel wedge 100% if the time? Yep, I agree … shoulders create a fulcrum for the head. The Bunker needs a completed axe tree. Hanging an axe is like a box of chocolates … you never know the kind've fit you'll get until it sits.

Hey Billy Ray, I just chanced on your site and passed it on to my friends. I'm in the process of going from one to the next. IMO it is the most entertaining and information filled site I have ever been in. Congrats and keep going.

2 dam solid AXE MAN!
I love the tree cutting videos but this maybe the best video I have ever seen on RUclips! Awesome Buckin!
NATHAN YOU CRAZY BUGGER ,, I SAW THIS AND HAD TO REPLY ,, BUDDY THIS IS A PRETTY PROFOUND STATEMENT ,, THX FOR THIS ,, LOVE B
Tuned in because I'm attempting to rehang a vintage hudson bay boys axe. Couldn't watch all the way through. 5 to 10 min content in 43 min. Got same info elsewhere on YT and forums. EGI vibe too, prevents me from watching, like many high volume YT channels.
Came for the axe hanging, stayed for the philosophy.
Love the yard stick 27 now Buckin think I’m still just a touch inside the yellow he he. Take care god bless
Lovin' your channel. So light hearted and just a joy to watch. Your resurrection of that ax was fantastic and I know I would be proud to have and use that ax. In fact I just got an old 2 1/4 lb W German ax and I am learning from your videos how to resurrect it.
Just want to say hellow to all the good people of the buckin army and the man himself good looking out and sharing your knowledge and message much love to all and be kind
You are absolutely spot on with that time thing, I have always told my kids the same thing and now they are reaching their 30s they have noticed, and yes a little madness is good for the soul, who on earth would want to be "normal" haha
Good morning Buckin Nice job as usual what a beautiful day, all the best everyone have a great day glad to hear Chester is on the up side, probably ate a mushroom 🍄 ha ha poor guy, well heading out to conquer the world ha ha keep em comin
a possibility
Bucking like you're videos much there very helpful thanks brother..
awesome video buckin'! great tips and even better message.
BBR, I referred back to this video today to successfully hang another double bit axe. Thanks, man! .... peace & love!!
thank you, May the Lord Jesus keep blessing you. I learned so much
glad you learned
I like what you did with the wedge. I haven't made you wedges yet. But I'm on it. Won't be much longer. Hang in there. Thanks.
they will be so helpful i havent the slightest problem sending you incentive in-the way of pay pal lol hahah
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith, money is part of the hold up. I need to buy the materials to make the wedges. I'll be able to buy what I need over the weekend. I tried using a bigger size pipe and my tongs slipped and I about broke my own nose. I wish I could send you a picture of that. I stayed positive about it though. I actually looked around for who sucker punched me and laughed when I realized I was alone.
Nice resurrection. Love it!
I thought i was the only one that got excited about axes lol. Loved the content
THX MIKEY

BTW:Happy Fathers day to you Buckin and all the fathers in the community.
Yardstick of life talk is good. Hits home my friend. Thanks.
Buck, the be kind mentality is in a lot of the woody areas of the US but once you get to a town or anything people are usually pretty rude and unpleasant.
Just found your channel and truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us sir.
Love and be kind to you n the Buckin' Army Billy! 😊🧡🙏👍👁👁
Just the video i was looking for,Thanks Bucking 😆

Big help man!! Thank you so much 🙏❤
You, Sir are a true philosopher.

it is a pulaski pete lol love ya buddy , when tim allows it im gonna slsp one together thx ol' boy
When you are 1 year old, a year is a lifetime. When you are 50, a year is 1/50 of a lifetime. You would have to live to be 1000 years old to perceive a life that's double 100 years! Just my thoughts.
@Samuel Eden I think Sandy Price has the right idea, but maybe didn't express it clearly enough. So I 'll give it a try. To a 20 year old, 10 years represents 50% of his life to that point. To a 50 year old, 10 years represents only 20% of he's life at that point. It's all about ratios and perception. In other words to a 50 year old, 10 years feels like it's gone by 5 times faster than it would feel to a 10 year old. That is why as we get older the years appear to go by faster and faster.
Thank you for sharing the (fear factor) it help me today ,,,
excellent friend ,, fear is fantacy
Great job mr Billy! Can’t wait to get one soon! My son wants to get it for me for my birthday in May, blessings to you and your family.
AWESOME WALTER
Dude I am a fan I love your videos. I have an old axe the handle has my local Co-Ops name engraved in the handle with an kelly perfect old flint edge double bit I want to do this exact thing to it. Thanks for posting I need help bad restoring the axe I have never done it
Good tip: Wedgie removal that don't hurt. Hey, Buckin are you 100% steel wedge 100% if the time? Yep, I agree … shoulders create a fulcrum for the head. The Bunker needs a completed axe tree. Hanging an axe is like a box of chocolates … you never know the kind've fit you'll get until it sits.
Glad to see your doing well
You seem like the perfect father figure to many young folk
thats nice of you to say ,, thank you
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith just keep doin what you’re doin 👍
I learned alot from watching this. Thanks ya good sir!
Your the axe man Buckin! Awesome tutorial.
cheers for sharing mate, really good vid. there should be more people like you on this rock of ours, it'd be a better place
Outstanding! Thank you. REALLY helpful.
