Billy, your mama sure had a way with words that made ‘em sink in deep and carry with you. “ you don’t look at the color of the hand that’s pullin you out of the ditch”. Fine woman that spoke those words, the world needs more people like her these days.
Folks that havent been injured in some way have no idea what a daily pain can do to a person. So much of what you said rings true. From the leaning stick to not standing still.... Im 51 yo. Work for myself. I built OVER 2,500 FT of fence laat year (2021). 90% of which is by me alone. All with no cartilage left in my wrists or my knees. You can literally hear my bones grinding. Its feb 2022, in about a week ill allready have 500 ft built. Love your message Billy Ray. I practice this daily , did so before i found your videos. Will till the day im gone. To not practice this feels so unnatural it would cause me to loose sleep. Do right Help others. Not for a reward, just cause its the right thing to do!
Hi buckin billy ray, apologies its only today me and Elen watched this vid (were bit behind on watching your vids) been busy with nice weather we been having last week. You made her the happiest girl ever when you mentioned her a few times in the vid. So for that I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the amazing content you provide for all of us, I’ve learnt so much from you as well! Thank you bucking. Stay safe everyone and be kind!
We already know Exactly what Kind of Day it’s going to be when Buckin’ is Hitting the Drums 🥁 and Symbols at the Beginning of the Video. I still can’t Believe that we Don’t have to Pay for this kind of Entertainment. It really doesn’t seem too Fair for the Other folks who are Missing out. 🙄 🤔 🧐
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
With the age of this video I dont imagine Buckin will see this but I have been dealing with the same back and joint issues described by him for the last 24 yrs. I was 30 at the time of my accident, it was life changing to put it simply and I didnt know anyone with similar issues to discuss things with that would understand the difficulties it created daily but BBR is telling it straight and I eventually found relief in the same positions that he did. If you have chronic pain issues dont give up and try these as well as any other ideas you see since no one thing works for everyone. Keep trying until you find exercises or therapies that do work. They are out there. Thanks for sharing your ideas BBR.
Hi Buckin. I can't believe I'm just now seeing this video. You have hit home for me on the back pain, I got hurt as a young man, I had my kids young and at home. Ended up getting a full back fusion, they picked bone chips out of my spine. Not whinning just tellin the story. I was out of work for 3 years. I am blessed with a wonderful wife that took up the slack when I was down. Until you've had that pain you really don't understand how the standing and sitting can affect you., doing a simple choir like washing dishes is a struggle. I had to work hard to get back to work to support my family. I guess it's true if it don't kill ya, It will make you stronger. I'm really impressed with your stick. Gonna find 1 for someone that needs it now, and make 1 for me now. Its got to be great relief. I was blessed it all worked out for me as I retired as a construction laborer thanks to Jesus. The key is to keep moving. I love swinging axes and hammers, and I still do it as I burn wood also. Can't see myself ever stopping. Love your channel and think your a good and honest man. This old dog has learned many tricks from you! Thanks Jack.
A different light may work better then the window, but it really comes down to what you like. Love you Buckin, you put a smile on my face and I learn from you each day. Thank you and Hogan for putting out these videos. Welcome to the new subcribers.
Accepting niceness as a good way of living for some is an easy thing to do but it’s harder to put in into practice and even harder to get others to do it. Goodluck buckin.
Appreciate the pain tips with the leaning stick. Gonna try it. Felled my last firewood tree Monday. Had spinal surgery Wednesday. Mine was a bad disk in my neck. Dr. says not cutting, bucking, or lifting for 8 weeks. Blessed with family and friends who will cut split and carry any wood I need and any other chores. That said I won't sit inside watching T.V. while they work. I'll find me a leaning/walking stick and at the very least keep them company. while they lend a hand. So blessed with the people in my life. Your motivation and energy are inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Heck Yeah! Been near 50 years ago that Pa taught me to sharpen the double bit for splitting on one side, and for cutting on the other side. Been an axe lover all my life.
I have started watching your videos Friend and I have to say.., you are the man BRO !!! I used to clear timber in southwest Georgia when I was a young buck, and to be honest .., I miss it. I turned 52 on April 3rd, and I may still go back to layin em down. It's an HONEST livin, with a sense of accomplishment. I love my axes and power saws, I keep em sharp, and like to swing. God bless Friend !!! Please keep the positive vibes comin !
Hi Buckin really love you. I get it. When I broke my back in April 1984 the way I go through life different. I will never complain because I am just happy to be able stand on my own two feet. It didn't brake me it made me a better man. I know where you come from. Life is great, peace and kindness to all.
I just seen this video. I've never had an injury like yours buckin. But I'm the sort of person that cant stand still and always feels like they must learn on something. This idea of yours is great! If for any reason I needed to stand about for a long time I would love one of these.
Billy you are absolutely making the world a better place! I feel better, and look forward on share positivity you bring to my life. I've made a greater effort to reach out and share appreciation more often. Your words, 'be kind,' have permeated my life these days, thank you!
Buckin I took you words “BE KIND “” and say that everyday to myself when someone cuts me off while I’m driving !! I’m new to the channel !! Love it !! Happy birthday my friend !!
I get what you say , I started work at 12yrs old , three jobs , one before and two after school , then I went on a tree nursery , that went west so I got work on the railway tracks , the government couldn't leave something that works alone , so , I went to work for a council cleaning the streets , I worked as I always did , so last year the body said ok , 50 years of what you do is enough . Knees are wrecked , the chest COPD , all from working and I wouldn't have it otherwise . I tried to do a job where when I went home something was better for the world around me. I do bits now for as long as I can but i appreciate what you're saying . You do your job cos you get a good feeling , you don't whine about how crunched up you feel , get on with it . Good video 👍🇬🇧
Happy Birthday Buckin'! Love your enthusiasm and attitude. Watching your channel helps me bring some of that into my own life. I just picked up a Walters Black Diamond axe head to put together my first axe build in the workshop. Thanks for everything, I truly appreciate the inspiration!
Hi Buckin and Friends! Hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there. Buckin you got me hooked on Husqvarnas, found a old Husqvarna 55 last week and used it for 2 days and loved it. Yesterday I found a 61 and a 371XP on craigslist. They are a bit rough but I got them running and cant wait to use them this weekend. Buckin your talk in this vid is spot on, thanks for all you do. Everybody stay safe and love one another!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNG MAN😉👍 Thank you for your contributions to the industry, & thanks for the positive word you always put out into the universe! You are a tool I use when I'm feeling down.....you are such an uplifting person & I just want to THANK YOU for all you do! STAY SAFE & hope you have another great year
I’m sorry to mention this on your channel but I’ve been watching you for a long time, well somehow my 3 year old son found you on here and he always tells me he wants to watch “saw” and that means he wants to watch you. Anyway I’ve learned a ton of stuff from you and I will keep on learning from you! The other night I made bad decisions and my best friend ever ended up dying from my irresponsible decision. I always bring my dogs out cutting firewood always!! This was the last night I brought my best dog. They came out of nowhere from my left side when the tree was already in mid fall I watched completely helpless as that Aspen tree struck both dogs and one came out ok… but I guess I just wanted to tell my shit story with you.. thanks for everything that you teach and talk about! It helps me stay sober as well !! Have a good life big man!!
Buckin hope you had a great dinner with the family. New work bench view was a nice change. But you don’t need to make it permanent. Nice sharpening job Billy. Have a great day!
Love the extra light and you make yourself comfortable during these presentations. My boys got me a drafting chair for my work bench and it makes a world of difference in my day being able to sit and prop my leg.
I understand! After 2 major back surgeries I am fused with rods and screws from L4-S1 and cannot sit or stand for more than a few minutes so I gotta move or lie down so thanks for the great idea!! When I go to the store I grab a cart in the parking lot if possible so it can carry my purse and I can LEAN. So here is a couple good things I learned that may help you. I use a seat cushion in the car with an opening in the back (or pulled forward a bit) so the bottom of my spine is suspended, it takes pressure of the spine and the cushion absorbs the pressure/shock and I tip the seatback back an extra notch to relieve vertical pressure, it helps lots. Also discovered a gadget called the "Low-Bak Trax" for easy stretching my spine and back of my legs (it is all connected) and it is amazing, please trust me on this, it works wonders. It only takes a couple of minutes and gives your disks a chance to get blood flow back in and re-cushion themselves, it's huge (the gadget is small, the relief is huge). Anyone with back pain should have one. Would be great for preventative measures for sure also. Your latest big fan.
I love Stu's work. I love his pickups. He is a true magician. Few of my friends play his pickups, and I have played their guitars. I am kind of bit proud that he knows of me and my amplifiers. I mean, me, not this UA-cam name 😀
"Friends" that makes my day when he says that
Bruno Ribeiro it's true
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith True as it can get ! Really happy to watch your videos and learn more !
Never noticed him say it
Happy birthday buckin
Another great video Sir
Billy, your mama sure had a way with words that made ‘em sink in deep and carry with you. “ you don’t look at the color of the hand that’s pullin you out of the ditch”. Fine woman that spoke those words, the world needs more people like her these days.
This guy is the kind of man that makes a great role model and a good leader.
Great set of axes and nice music too!
Happy birthday Buckin

Happy birthday Buckin!
Hello all the way from Newfoundland. Love the channel
You've got lots if heart Billy, thanks for sharing it with us on your B/Day.
Right there with ya brother on not being able to stand still and the passion when you find something like this makes my world go round.
Accepting niceness as a good way of living for some is an easy thing to do but it’s harder to put in into practice and even harder to get others to do it. Goodluck buckin.
The diffused light through the window is just right and your videos never seem long!
God Bless You And Your Family Brother!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY
