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

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!!!

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 !

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 pal, I just came across your video in search on “resurrecting”my axe as you say. But besides that the middle clip when you used the axe handle as a metaphor to life helped me a lot. I say the same thing to people but after you said it I realized I don’t take my own advice. I’m 26 but I’ve lived a lot. But now I’m starting over, quite literally. I got hit by a car in 2018 and now I’m paralyzed but it doesn’t stop me. But I guess what was stopping me was the not stopping and listening to my own advice. But thankfully I came across your video and it helped do what I wasn’t doing. I stopped listened. quite frequently because I was trying to get a hold of the message you where sharing in the mists of everything you said lol. But I got it friend and I appreciate it. I went ahead and subscribed and now I’m off to resurrect my axe. Have a great one. See ya!

Great job thanks for the video. Keep smiling and be happy 😃
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
Seth ,, you listen up,, this comment is heart felt on both ends of the spectrum, you,, , with your honesty,, inspires me as well and gives me fuel to continue on this journey ,, i am now in the video makin business .. and ill tell you this and mark my words.. as soon as people are not inspired anymore is when i hang up the Go-Pro. simple my friend.. buddy,, you got good things comin' yer way young fella. thank you for yer part in this community ,, love ya ,
Tom Lilli Amen to that Tom ❤️
That's the spirit Seth, speak up soldier, brilliantly expressed. I hear ya & couldn't agree more. Look forward to seeing you in the comments more mate. Greetings from Scotland 💪❤️👍
YOU SOLDIERS MAKE A MAN PROUD THX
@@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.
You are a man of service.
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
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 !
Ciel Vert Great attitude best wishes!
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 😃
VERY GOOD SIR,, THX FOR COMMENTING AND BEING HERE
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👌
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 : Thank you! And right back to you, Cynthia! 😘
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 ❤️👍
Have a great week Peter
Mikey I think we're all wonky now and then..LOL
does that mean me too he he lol love you young lady
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
You're right daphlavor this community is something special, just don't forget your part of what makes it special. Love the positive comments...
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!
First video I watched. Came for the axe content, stayed for the encouraging words you spoke to me. It really touched my heart.
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
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.
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!!
Turned out great Billy! Love the yard stick of life analogy! So true I'm 57 , hits the nail right on the head ! Life's short Be Happy!
Buckin' you're truly an inspiration. Keep up the good work. Your craft and your word keep me coming back for more.
Voted most feel good and improved attitude channel on KZhead. Thanks you guys!!! Always feel better watchin you guys!!!!!
Man, your attitude and uplifting tone & demeanor is the best! Carry on & keep spreading the cheer!
Definitely love the amount of time and love you put into you're craftmen ship it's a wonderful sight to see guys so passionate about thier custom work
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.
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.
Dear buckin Billy i would like to say thankyou your tips and techniques are spot on i followed your advice and was able to completely restore my grandfather's logging axe means the world to me may you and your family have the best of luck be safe out there over and out
I got my grand kids watching your videos. Thanks for the moral guidance and G rated language ... Aces and nothing but love
Another awesome video. Especially the interlude. Great resurrection axe also, Buckin. He’s gonna love it.
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.
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
You are not only a teacher, but a philosopher as well. Keep up your good work.
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.
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 !
Love your enthusiasm, your wit and skills, also.... got the message. Great job.
Buckin you are the best coach to kindness and happiness, im glad you share it with us all! Thank you!
Hey Billy, your real talk was the best part about your video (of course I enjoyed the info about axe hanging) it's great you can share a part of yourself on here, you seem like a great guy, get busy living! I love the yard stick theory. Cheers buddy.
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.
Excellent job once again mate.... welcome to all the new subscribers, a salute to the true blues.... hope everyone had a great 🐫🐫hump day.. love n hugs for mama buckin....😎👍🇦🇺
Loaded dog You have a good one too LD 😬❤️👍
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.
Hi Buckin, I love my new axes. Can't wait to get my double bit from you. I rehandled my first axe a couple days ago using your techniques. Didn't come out as good as yours but it fit better than I thought it would. Beat it up and it didn't move a bit. Love and kindness my friend
I am new to the Chanel and I am in love. Love the tree falling and talking and just the good entertaining content. Thanks for keeping me and my family entertained. We love you already.
DomDom, welcome buddy. Glad your with us.
Welcome to the channel, Dom! Glad to see you aboard! Hello to you and your family from The Mad One 👍🏻
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...
Hey Buckin, Another great informative video. You never cease to bring great education and information. Thus bringing us edutainment. So glad you are heeding to your calling. If all of us would do the same. Each one of us has the ability and opportunity to make a difference everyday all day!! Keep up the good work and sending out the message of kindness. Peace, Love, and Joy, kindness will always follow!!
And I really never thought about your " yard stick of life", but it really brought it home when you said, " half my life is in the past!" Mine too plus+ a few more if I'm lucky!
Found your vid's while watching you with Steve's Small Engine Saloon on hanging an axe... love it...Will be checking all your vid's now...
About the coolest nicest guy that KNOWS what he's talkin' bout Willis..that I've ever seen...Thanks..Re-doing my Paul Smith's days Snow & Nealley circa 1976 axe with a 30 year old hickory (with 31 growth rings, grain parallel with the long axis of the eye of the axe head) handle....
Don't worry about the length of ur videos. It's just more enjoyment on my end. Thanks friend. Wish we could hang out!
some folks love the long ones thx for this love ya buddy
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.
thx Tim .. appreciate that
Yup, still here after 5 in a row! Very passionate sir love the videos, thank you for sharing!
Right on! I just happened to pick this same axe up at a yard sale for $5! Restoring it thanks to your help!
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.
yer welcome good sir ,,,love to Nat
I really love your videos they're very educational and I love your aura in attitude
Rock on Bucking...this is one of the best videos on KZhead 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.
GREG , WHAT A TESTAMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY THX FOR SPEAKING IN HERE ,, YOUR WORD ACT AS FUEL FOR ME ,, 73 HEY , AWESOME,,,, LOVE WINS FRIEND......
Hi buckin Iv just bought an old elwell axe off eBay with a slight bit of handle damage so your videos are working great for me right now 👍🏻 good work.
You’re videos are so heart felt and a breath of fresh air
thx Stinky , appreciate you
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I appreciate you sir
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!
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 :)
the North Star still shines bright ,, man you are loved here
Love your videos and your enthusiasm. I for one am glad you are sharing the information. Keep it up Bill.
Hey buddy passed my cs32 medium trees today well pleased to say the least living my dream fella, great vid by the way 👍
swat im talkin bout love ya buddy Haley how are you
Hi bucking it's Hayley I'm good thank your doing well for your self.
Thanks pal, I just came across your video in search on “resurrecting”my axe as you say. But besides that the middle clip when you used the axe handle as a metaphor to life helped me a lot. I say the same thing to people but after you said it I realized I don’t take my own advice. I’m 26 but I’ve lived a lot. But now I’m starting over, quite literally. I got hit by a car in 2018 and now I’m paralyzed but it doesn’t stop me. But I guess what was stopping me was the not stopping and listening to my own advice. But thankfully I came across your video and it helped do what I wasn’t doing. I stopped listened. quite frequently because I was trying to get a hold of the message you where sharing in the mists of everything you said lol. But I got it friend and I appreciate it. I went ahead and subscribed and now I’m off to resurrect my axe. Have a great one. See ya!
awesome video buckin'! great tips and even better message.
been following your channel for a while now. I recently busted the hand off in the head of my axe. Gunna get a replacement from Princess Auto so I came looking to your channel for the best way to redo it. I like the burn finish! . Thanks Buckin!
Just found your channel and truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us sir.
good clean video, lots of tips and clear instructions, and thankfully no music. thanks for the yardstick, you are right.
I’m the same way. Only time you see me in a church is marryins and buryins. Since I’m currently recovering from a broken spine among several other injuries I’m enjoying your videos a lot. I’m into restoring old and using old methods to bring about new things too. Just wanted to extend my thanks for having videos of good work from good folks for me to watch while I can’t work.
Your awesome brother, love the positivity, really enjoying watching your vids and the great message... it’s inspirational! It’s beauty eh!
Your the axe man Buckin! Awesome tutorial.
I am 69. Days are just a blink of the eye. I just found your Video. I like what yer doing.
"Hey how ya doin over there" hahaha such a character man. Love your videos
I'm doing well ! Pass all the tips & things you know to who ever wants to know ! My uncle Walter was borne in 1888 - 1986 , I asked him a million questions ! You have to remember he started out in a horse & buggy , to seeing a man land on the moon , & everything in between ! Good video Billy as usual , I'm never disappointed ! Hello Buckin Army , hope your doing well !
Great video Buckin, keep them coming. Infact, after watching one of your videos of tuning/starting a chainsaw, I was able to get my old McCullough Pro Mac 10 started and running fine. Saved me $500.00 vs buying a new saw.
Nice resurrection. Love it!
Outstanding! Thank you. REALLY helpful.
I love axes, Billy. And power saws. Nice build!

Your not so subliminal messages stick with me and I find myself reflecting on them through my days. They do me good and help me make better choices. And I'm always getting better at cutting wood thanks to your tips and sharing nature. Thanks Billy, you're radical in all the best ways.
The claw hammer to remove the wedge is brilliant!
I think you should try and count all of the axes you have built😳 great tips and tricks from the master of axes😉 love to you and the family❤️
Probably my favorite person on youtube... seems to be a great guy
Love you Buckin! Been watching all your videos, and love your passion and the message you are putting out there! Keep up the good work! Sure wish I could find an Arvika here in Washington State....
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
