Buckin you should get a rubber “Horse Mat” it’s an 1” thick solid rubber mat 4’x6’ and about $40 American. This is perfect to split wood on the ground. Your head will hit the rubber and not the dirt

Buckin’s Axe serves as a axe, pickaroon, grabber, second hand and therapist!

I’ve been watching the live more than 5 times now... Still have a hard time to really understand that you choosed me. You and this wonderful community have done the nicest thing I can imagine. And beyond! That 562 will be my golden nugget for life! Thank you from the bortom of my heart again! ❤️ Love to you all!

Hello from Latvia! 11:50 Double bit is now my favorite! Don't remember how i found your channel, but after watching some vids i bought Plumb 3.2 double bit head, made a handle from a piece of oak and now it's my best axe! Thank you for inspiration!

I have been buckin and splitting today in the UK. Good load of cypress, oak and ash. Body knows it’s had a good workout today

I call it cross fit for the poor man lol

The weather looks perfect for a day out splitting some fire wood this Tuesday thanks for all the useful knowledge brotha!

Axe! Therapy! Time! Yes!

Yup a choppin block stops the axe just before making max power.

Also, less power may be generated but, the hardness makes what energy that's there, more effective. But, I see what you are sayin'. Have great day today.

You know probably one of the absolute best aerobic exercises out there, like you not a fan of the chopping block, I climb on the pile sometimes it’s a small mountain, friends that’s the truth. I love the friends part I will be changing my vocabulary for sure. Thanks BB!

Billy you're an inspiration, thank you for being such a really tough, but also really nice man. Always a treat to watch these.

Hay Buckin from the USA! Your channel has it all,really enjoy it. Have you ever heard of J.R. Robinson. Maybe one of the most premier drummers in the world. I went to school with him. Drum on, axe on, power saw on most of all drift on! Love you Billy.

Thanks billy for all your hard work and usefull tips

That axe always lands right where he's looking! DANIEL-SAN!

Buckin’s got some serious chops! I’d love to spend a day swapping beats in the bunker. You know...the old, “Oh! That’s sweet. What if you add this!” “Ah yes, that’s nice. Let’s here your version.” And go on like that for the day. That’s how I learned to play drums

The best exercise, i love that. Thank u for learning secrets !

Greetings from S. E. Ohio. Looks like a very quiet part of the world!!! Do us a "Wipeout" on the drums!!! Lol

I'm looking at a pile that needs split right now. You just gave me the boost I need to go do it.

I can think of numerous activities that are excellent stress relief but as you state none are better. Maybe as good, but not better. The difference could be in the level of fun.

Buckin, I just want to say thank you and I deeply appreciate the kind of human being you are and strive to be. Because of you I started hafting handles and hanging axe heads again. I’ve also got my son into it (he’s only 7 and loves swinging an axe!). So thanks again for all you’ve taught me over the year I’m grateful and humbled by you. Sending good vibes to you and your family.

Those sure are some nice sticks goin on that truck Buckin. Gosh those axes work so good. No pounding on them to get em out of the wood and just flat out split wood. Love it buddy. Keep on rockin and a ROLLIN. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓

After years of lifting weights, my primary workouts are now splitting wood. Much more productive- and more satisfying. I prefer working outdoors to being inside a gym.

Nice little dance you got there buckin splitting wood loosens up the whole body love it

Thanks for sharing that moment with the whales with us Buckin, very cool!!!!

NICE assortment of AXES buckin ,lots of hours in workmanship hope everyone has a great day

I love the 3 piece 1 stroke! You hit that thing and made 3.

G'day Buckin, I enjoy your videos because I can see that you've spent decades in the wood and now your on you tube, as apposed to those who are learning.

Look how that wood looks, He took the time to debark it. super nice and clean

Love your videos, the flick I know well, hard to explain but you do a great job.

What a beautiful place to live love wins.

Great swing in your drumming, friend!

Your right about the double bit swing being something else! I just got one and boy oh boy do I wish I could use it for everything. And you know what, I might just try. 😎

Great video buckin as always keep em coming brother!!!!

Great gym buckin. Free membership to. Love the last axe. Great head and handle. Be safe.

Hello Billy Ray. Best way to stay in shape

That wood looks beautiful

Oh ya I took a few pieces of 3x3x1/4 square tubing and welded a little rig that I welded a medium size bench vise to. And it slides into my receiver hitch on my truck. I made it just the right height for when I file my saw. It’s pretty handy. 🙂🙂

Buckin the state of your old man's axe looks like my father in law's and mine looks like yours well my father in law's did untill a got my hands on it after watching bbr the master there both now razors and looking amazing. Thanks for all the advice and info god bless u big love you've no idea how much information you give to people through this channel your an inspiration 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤️

Ok Billy i have seen that drum kit sitting there many times. I had no idea you could play as well as you do. I started drum lessons at 5 years old. That was 48 years ago. Good job on the Rosanna shuffle. PEACE ✌

Love it buckin

Your a great guy have a nice day

Great work out

That DB is the business. What a stunning place to split wood.

Nice work Buckin, no better work out than splittin wood with an axe.

Hey, hey!

A beautiful playground and wonderful machines (bodies) that we have to play with. Buckin: thanks for everything you do, your channel, content, and message are inspirational. To everyone else: be kind!

I love splitting wood the old fashioned way. When I got days off work.. im buckin and splitting wood at every chance. I learned from my papaw down in Tennessee. He used a dull maul.. but I've seen your dad do like im used too. A combo of a maul and a sledge hammer.. I use a tear drop wedge too. Can tell your dad has done it a long time..he's learned to stand to the side of the maul when hitting with a sledge. I do the same thing.

It is nice to see a KZreadr who actually splits the wood into firewood size pieces, instead of large kindling.

"Man cuts wood and says nice things" Love your content Buckin!

That's a beautiful 4# stiletto bowtie axe head. I've learned that a 6-8 inch chopping block seems to work best for me. Thanks to Buckin a year ago I had an old splitting maul and now I think I may have a couple dozen axes SMH my favorite is a 5# Sager bowtie double bit it's a wood splitting beast !

That double bit is some axe

try making a Pennato, its an ancient farming tool used by woodsman, really really love the energy, at the end of a stressfull day i really enjoy watching your videos, thank you very much

That would be amazing to see in person and being on the boat

I need some of these axes in my life 😩

My goodness! What beautiful rounds! Wow. Definitely want a lower chopping block for power and a bit more leverage in the swing. That French Curve axe has literally all the weight in the head, making it a superior buster.

You should really try getting a 15" tire and screwing it with some washers into the chopping block. It helps keep the splits vertical and you don't have to bend down so much. I think you'd love it!

Yep time to fill the wood shed...Love to get in shape that way but just got the hydraulics for now.....Stay safe BR and God Bless :)

I watch your channel all the time

My two favorite splitting axes is my 6 lb fire ax in my steel splitting ax that 6 lb fireman's act as a wonderful job and that steals the next one up it's awesome

Another video that took me ta school. I don't know it all and I try to always be teachable. Those skinny handles aren't for me right now as I have to practice what you're saying including the flick so I can use those skinny handles without concern. Thanks Buckin' for everything you do. Be safe as this too shall pass, one day at a time...

Nice Axes.... Greetings from Germany Peter 😊

Umm Hmm GIT'R DUN ! Great Day For Splitting, B.R. ! Welcome New Subs & Hay Blues ! Love Hearing Them Skins Getting A Work Out ! Wow 309 + Way To Go ! Prayers For Bo Bo & Family ! ATB T God Bless

Processing firewood is kinda relaxing to me. My friends hates to do it, its only hard work to them. But I enjoy doing it.

One of these days I will be ordering one of your axes. I just got through with one of these workouts. Splitting oak and poplar. Split enough to fill my F150 using a maul and a double bit axe

I like doing both Tree work for cardio and gym for muscle building 🙂

Loved the Sea Gull clip!!!!!!

hi buckin, i have been wondering whether the length of the handle depends on the length of the arm....? and when splitting on a high block, 10% of the momentum that the body brings when it follows the ax is missing. similar to boxing ... have a great day everyone! take the high road, be kind and let love rule!

Thank you for helping me split the cost of my gym membership?

Hi Billy. Nice wee vid .i really loved that last axe u used i think u said something french about her .that really did the damage .peace

Nice

Chopping wood is therapeutic. I know it's work but relaxing at the same time.

i like my 2 tire high chopping station i can load it up with multiple pieces and nothing falls over and if I miss the bit hits rubber instead of dirt

Your always saying you prefer the low profile chopping blocks and it makes me wish I could send you one of the three I have. I use 7" tall 42" round hard maple trunk wood. Being that it's from the base of the tree where the upper roots start forming it gives the grain a crazy twisted and curved pattern that makes it nearly indestructible. In two years of hard use I've knocked maybe a 2" chunk off the outer edge. You'd love em.. Next time I head to Oregon I'll have to shoot up your way and bring ya one.. It's like having your own 4 foot chopping pad.

I think it’s what you told me once buckin. It’s what you experience. Some people like mauls. Some like axes. It’s what works for them in the wood they are splitting. Nice video bud. It’s nice of you to help your dad split and stack his wood. I take care of my parents wood as well. Take care and god bless. As always WORK SAFE 😎😎. Oh ya....... HOTROD HOMELITE 😬😬😬😬😬😬

Hi Buck. Technical question. I’m new to chopping wood and I’m not sure how to pick out a good axe. Is the axe handle length important for certain leverage and what should I look for with a head? I’ve seen some full one piece metal axes with rubber handles and I’m not sure why it could be better or not better. Also, you mentioned stick to the program…do you have a video where you explain chopping basics for beginners? Thanks for all positive videos.

Hey just a quick question. Why does your dad peel his logs before bukin? It looks beautiful. But I thought maybe I am missing something for better drying. Thanks again.

This year I did things a little different with our winter fuel so I chopped more and split less, just smaller diameter wood is all so a good boys axe size goes right through on one swing. But I do miss splitting. Splitting is just a bit special. The concentration, the force and precision. It's just good. I dunno maybe I'll get hold of some splitting wood soon. Not got anywhere to store it mind but.... Yeah axe work is special

Do some Kettlebell up side down grip holds as well as KB swings while forcing the KB down instead of letting it drop and you’ll be able to blow pieces of wood apart as if they were dynamited apart. Last 3 months I’ve been working on that stuff and it’s like artillery going off when it hits - especially with a 4lb convex ax *BOOM*

Nice work! I would like to see more axes and detailed comparisons of profiles, weights, and shapes. I'm starting to suspect that you know what you're talking about. 👍🏻

wow, that maul's edge is the definition of throwing a hunk of steel at wood... I think I seen a tomahawk in a museum once with that same edge geo :P but I guess as long as it gets the job done, then its a working mans tool... I just cant help but think how much more energy is spent and wasted with a dull edge like that, but as you say we've all swung axes like that, that are duller then butter knives but amazingly they still manage to get the job done at the end of the day.

My Kelly Perfect double bit would be perfect for this!

Good afternoon billy and everyone getting ready to watch today

hi richard!

Dude,looks like your in the evergreen state...my favorite state..my dad would cut down trees and he'd hook a rope up to trick with me driving,he'd say just take your foot off the brake and don't spin the tires,I'd say but dad what if the tree falls on me?? He'd say just do what your told boy...lol..I think I was maybe 10,maybe 8..when the tree fell I' would jump out the truck and grab my hatchet and start at the top and he'd grab the saw and we'd meet in the middle,then we'd split the wood with a mall...keep up the great videos brother,love them and you...btw I still love splitting wood

I like to use my 8 pound maul rather than my axe I actually like the weight so I don’t have to swing very hard and it gets me strong! 😁

Glad to see you keepin your chops up B, Rita was telling me Richard wants us to play at the Lodge when things get lifted on a Friday dinner time thingy. I would love to play there again. Just two sets of stuff we like that's lots of fun for the people. The Whales are beautiufl.

That sounds great as long as Buckin is allowed to stand up between songs, because sitting on drum throne for too long can be rough on the back. And as long as mama Buckin is allowed to sit down while playing, if she wants. Little gigs like that will lead to a really nice set at Buckinstock 2022. I'm the best roadie you never had. 😊

Hi friend 👋 I've done that many times, works like a champ💪Good day to ya!✌❤

What type of wood is that with out the bark? Does it come from a mill?

Hello All! I sitting here watching Buckin destroy, cut logs making firewood. Using a chipping block stops the ax from hitting the ground when you go through the cut. It wouldn't take long before your ax edge looked like your old man's. l loved the opening scene, the Whale that he can see without too much trouble, is great. Here in SE Louisiana, you may be able to see Pilot Whales in the Gulf Of Mexico, but never humpbacks. The last time I saw a humpback whale, I was in the US Navy, on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, playing war games! I was a corpsman, so my duty station was in the Offers Quarters whenever General Quarters was called, so I could sneak out and take in the view, which sometimes gave me bad hearing from the guns being fired. One final question, who, what, and where, removed the bark from those bucked tree cuts?

I wish I had a couple chords of that wood you're split and that looks pretty awesome all we got up here is bastard oak and some hickory and little bit of a pine every once

What wood is that buckin ? Seems abit stringier than your normal timber ?

Thumbs up for the Purdie Shuffle! What was the name of that hi-hat technique? I didn't realize how big those whales were until I saw the boat.
