The wrap technique you use is called a "whip wrap". It is also used when wrapping an archery bow string, or to finish the end of a rope to prevent fraying. I am sure you know this, but some of your viewers may not.
Rather than using seal all, twist/snug the whipping up as tight as possible at the bottom, then fully saturate ALL of the paracord top to bottom with a thin CA glue - it chemically converts/melts the sheathing and individual nylon strength cords inside the paracord to a single piece of perfectly formed and EXTREMELY durable armor with outstanding impact and abrasion resistance. An added benefit is that BLO can be applied to both the handle and whipping after the fact to further re-enforce and condition both the wood and wrap. I use this trick to make bulletproof overstrike collars for splitting axes and mauls. It works a treat, especially with some 5 to 7 millimeter sheet rubber and a wrap or two of hockey grip tape underneath.
Buckin’. You’re a good man. The energy. The entertainment. Your teaching. Your Reflection on Life. It’s all Good. I will wrap. And it too will be good. Well, we’ll see about that. Thank you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Steve. Plymouth, MA
First video I've seen from this channel. I am ADHD and you made it easy to watch a 20+ minute video about wrapping a handle. I couldn't hit subscribe fast enough.
I’ve been watching the channel for a while now and loving it! With all the tips and tricks I’ve learned I have been able to take my grandpa’s old 3 1/2 pound GBA and turn it into a beautiful axe that I’ll cherish forever. Thank you!
"Super tight. Oh yeah!!" Lmao, dude I love the enthusiasm. I'm working on my step dads old pickaxe right now, it's an old one. The old style where you can just smack the head down and remove it from the handle. So I wanted to wrap the handle and make it a bit more secure. This was very helpful, thank you.
Buckin good morning. I use the same type of wrap on handles. I use Starbrite super glue, thin, to secure the wrap. It is like water and flows into the threads, there is no need to loosen the threads it will go straight through to the wood. Oh and don't grab it with your hands before it sets. I was splitting wood for two days before it let of of my hand 😉😉
What kind of string/wrap do you use? I watched the video but didn't catch the name or maybe it was a term I'm not used to so I missed it. Kinda lools like paracord, but thinner than 550.
@@DavidWhite thanks so much for that info! I just got a new Michigan headed axe. Gonna try that out. Do you only wrap the top or also at the bottom where your other hand goes.
@@Gideon_Judges6 It depends on the handle. If the handle has a knob on the end I don't wrap. It lets my hand slide all the way to the end when swinging.
Hi Billy Ray,I'm at Rondalyn rv Park sitting watching you rap a axe handle. Thank you for you great info.Rap my axe handle ,looks almost like yours.Have a safe and Relaxing day .Your Friend Rene.
Buckin I saw this string whipping you did on this handle and I was so glad! I hung a small rigging ax head years ago and it became damaged. I saw a small crack appear and thought if I reinforce the handle this way, it should last until I’m done! Thanks BBRS.
Kindness + charity with your confidence + competence = Beautiful Buckin BR! ... thanks buddy and hello to all new and legacy subs.. Happy Thanksgiving and thankful for your benevolence to those organizations! ... MAGKD!
Always finding myself coming back to this video Buckin! Prefer this video over all the others. Hope you guys have a great memorial day if you guys celebrate it or not if not hope the weekend is good!
This is such a great addition to any axe, wall hanger or everyday user. Love it Buckin Thank you. Sweet axe I'm sure the recipient will love it. The Buckin Special is beyond Special. I Love Ya Brother Buckin. Thank you all for making this donation happen.🌲❤🌲✊
Going to order my first Tasmanian pattern soon and will do this with it. Thanks for the vids, learned a lot just by watching you and it’s amazing how you give so much knowledge without expecting anything in return. Keep up with the videos. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Buckin! May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams! I admire how you give to the down trodden and vulnerable. What a great thing your doing here. Great way to start my day friend. Thanks for you ❤️🌎🌏🌍❤️
You gave me a good idea, to refine my axe. I have several plumb axes. I want to wrap the handle on my plumb youth (boys) ave. By doing the wrap, it will protect the handle in its weakest area, and add a custom decorative look. Thanks.
You are absolutely amazing!!! thank you so much for sharing this with us, I wrapped my axe that I made with my dad 3 times and it kept coming undone, now there is now doubt it's staying. Thank you so much buckin
Good stuff Craftsmanship protecting a valued tool. Exposing the grain with flame and oil really makes it a beauty. You can do it differently and get different results but none better. Skills like this are no joke. Everyone should take a peeksy at a few Buckin videos and then realize why we watch and learn and support. A very kind and friendly guy who has evolved in a good way. Momma Buckin did a good job with this wild horse. We're glad she did.
Just what I needed to learn! If you have time, please read my email I sent to you yesterday - the axe you sent got delivered!! Thanks so much for everything Buckin!! Love Wins!!
I love your content Buck’n and thanks for the useful instructions! I also know a man that has grace and gratitude in his heart and soul and just wants to leave this world a little better than he found it . 🙏
Great to see ya brother! I have been wrapping with para cord for some time now. I do the same process, but instead of glue, I burn the cord off to cut it then use the heat to bond the wrap all the way up. Your glue is an easier process.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Following your advise, I have put the longer bar and chain on several of my saws. Stand up and buck is the way. Love your channel
Bought my daughter a Boy's Axe last christmas, I love the size- I use it all the time to chop ivy, cut the stringers on wood I'm splitting, chopping vines out of the ground. Its fantastic, lots handier than a hatchet. You'd think it doesn't hit hard given its size but it sure does.
Love this. Another great video, with another great message. Thank you Billy Ray. You're entertaining, informative and a force for good. I'm going to try wrapping my Gransfors with leather cord just to give it a little grip for carving. I'll use the same method and see how I get on. Best wishes from the UK!
Your a great man! Also a great father and family man by the way you conduct yourself! Keep up the great content and best of luck with everything!! Enjoy thanksgiving and Christmas!
Man buckin you are the best all around guy that keeps it funny and uplifts people through your videos I watch you every morning before I go out to work (tree removal) and I have learned so much from ur videos let me tell yeah friend!!!! Is there a way I could send you a old axe my dad made? He has Parkinson's now and splitting wood was my first job I ever did for him and getting him axe like this would absolutely bless him

Excellent start to a day. Have a feeling I ought to have my axe in hand on my hike in a couple hours.

We call that 'whipping' it stops the ends of hawser laid ropes from unravelling. I use line made from man made fibres and I melt the end before I pull it into the whipping. If its still hot when you pull it in, the end should stick to the inside of the whipping. Well done Buckin' - another great vid.
Love it, I'll have to try that sometime. I use a piece of rubber not too thick and electrical tape it to the axe in this same fashion. If done with care, it looks nice and get good stretch with the electrical tape. This is for my working axes to prolong the handle life as from time to time I get an off swing or the wood splits such that the rubber boot absorbs the impact of an undersplit.

hi buckin,i hope your jaw is feeling bit better, brother! nice wrap. i love that black and wihte shirt! you are a great guy! i wish you and your family a great day! #spiritfire
I'd recommend wrapping all the way to the head. It looks better number one, but also overstrikes don't always happen because you miss the log. Sometimes the wood splits around your bit in an unpredictable way and so the overstrike can find its way right under the chin of your axe into the handle.
hey buckin just wanna say even though i am faily new to the channel, i really apreciate what you ae doing and mybe one of theese days ill get to see ya in real life as speachless as i may be lol. keep up the good work and have a goodin
I used to make axe handles and sharpen axes, etc. when I was about 12 years old, did it for a living while I went to school I also used to wrap them, but I used to use steel tie wire never had or thought about it
LITTLE BUCKINS CRACKIN THE WHIP,I HOPE YOUR JAW FEELS BETTER BUDDY,GLAD YOUR LEG AND ARM ARE GOOD ,CONGRATULATIONS RITA ON YOUR ART WORK ,BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BE SAFE EVERYONE
I agree on the Boys axe. I use myTT 2.25# boys axe as my wedge pounder and general woods axe when I am felling trees, bucking and limbing. It has a 28 inch does leg hickory handle in it. I will wrap it with para cord when I get a chance. I usually cut a piece of thick leather and lace it on the handle with leather to protect against over strikes.
First time viewer. I'm gonna try it on my favourite chopping axe. I'm from a long line of lumberjacks and my grandfather use to carve his own axe handles mostly the style of the old swede/buck saw era when axes were used to limb the trees. These handles are not as thick in circumference so they can be easily twisted while flicking off branches with one hand to boot. These types of axe handle were purposely designed to break off where attached to the head in case of a bad blow to avoid injury from a very sharp axe. Keep up the good work. 🇨🇦
How’s the face buckin? Couple years ago I got worked over by my dentist. The only thing I found that helped was extra strength Tylenol arthritis. I’m not one to take anything but tooth plain ruins anything enjoyable. They really did help. I was eating Advil like skittles with no relief.
I’m teaching our 10 year old girl how to split wood. She has taken a real liking to it has a bit of an issue over stricken though haha. Actually just went to the hardware store this after noon and let her pick out her own handle and taught her how to set the head. Anyway I will be using this method on hers for sure for a little re enforcement just out of curiosity what cord are you using for the wrap? Thanks for the great videos been watching for years your a positive inspiration for many👍
i am going to first wrap some jb weld fiberglass to make it rock solid in and around the axe head region of the handle and then i use flexseal tape on top i replace the flex tape when i need to with new patches as it gets worn out.
