    Buckin Billy Ray, I found your channel while searching for axe videos. I have watched hours of your footage in these last few days. I just wanted to share that your attitude is contagious and it is insidious if a person is already more light hearted to begin with. I wanted to say I am grateful that I found your channel. You have reminded me how much more enjoyable life and everything in it can be if you share a little kindness and open yourself up to feeling good. No joke. I truly appreciate your character. You seem to be a wonderful person. Your kindness carries a long way Buckin Billy Ray. Thoroughly enjoy your stuff and last but not least, Thank you.

    Very very cool. I just rehandled a big plumb Jersey I've given up on twice before. Had six metal wedges in it from whoever had it before me purchasing it years ago. All rusted together. Was a right mess but its a beauty now.
    Seeing this one in the video gives me conviction with choosing a 32 inch. I thought my plumb looked disproportionate but yours looks great.

    New handle looks sharp and should take a little more abuse. I like that you mention about taking the palm swell out on a wedge banger - I've built a few axes for fallers and they always want that palm swell sanded down for banging wedges. Messes up your swing and digs into your palm.

  • @Cake41579

    Your energy is infectious. The first couple videos I watched, I thought you was higher than a rats ass. But, come to find out, your just high on life and 2 stroke fumes. I’m a woodworker of sorts myself. I have a woodmizer lt40 super and since I bought the mill, I’ve grown to absolutely love wood with every ounce of my being. Every curve and knot and twist if the grain is like the greatest story that’s waiting to be told. All it needs is a little persuasion from guys like you and me to open the book and let the story unfold and show its true inner beauty. A beauty that would’ve remained locked away forever if we hadn’t took the time to bring it to life. Keep up the good work, friend. People like us are a dying breed.

  • @hildolfrdraugadrottin7279
    @hildolfrdraugadrottin7279 5 років тому

    That turned out great! I really like those really curvy handles myself but they are impossible to find around here. Most of what you'll find for sale here are junk handles costing twice what they are worth. There use to be an old timer that made handles you could find pulling his trailer full of handles at auctions and parking lot sales. I think he must've passed on since I've not seen him in a couple years. :(
    I love listening to the stories those old men tell about the old days. Back then they actually used their axes all day five days a week.
    Love your channel! There's only a handful of channels that discuss axes that I respect and yours is one of them.

Buckin breaks a handle and a lot of people get mad and throw the handle and axe down and dont give it a second thought. Well i break the handle and all i does is give me the opportunity to make it better than it was before. Anyhow sorry for the run-on Buckin, we love you brother, keep up the good work!!!

    Buckin', Billnas Bruk Forge in Sweden was founded in 1641 by Carl Billsten. Fiskars bought out Billnas Forge back in 1983...that's where that wedge profile came from. Billnas, Kellokoski and Mariefors Bruk were the main manufacturers of axes in Finland. I hope everyone is doing OK this winter...it is going to get very cold here in Southern BC with an Aectic weather front coming in tomorrow...stay warm Friends!

    Billy, I enjoy your videos. You're a tree guy, I'm a fourth generation tree guy, you like old Macs, I like old Homelites. I also collect axes. I have Plumbs, Collins, American Beauties, Kelly's and more. Some are over 100 years old with the original haft in them. Not one singe American ax that I own, with the original haft in it, is hung with the haft sticking proud to the eye, they are all flush. Why do you choose to use the proud hang rather than the traditional flush hang? Thanks, Joe.
