My father passed away of cancer 32 years ago and he was 51. I was only 22 and there hasn’t been a day I haven’t thought of him.

I can't imagine how deep the sorrow can be when losing a parent at such a young age. To die in your 50s is definitely too young. But to die in your 90s can be too young also if your spirit is strong. We are all limited to life and destined for death, but with love our spirit can live on. 🕊️

So sorry to hear that, be strong for your Dad, he would want you to carry on and be happy in life...I know it`s really tough but try and remember your golden times together, those memories and feelings are yours forever. Bless you lad and I wish you the best of luck in life.

I was a youngling, just learning to split wood and wouldn't you know it, I overshot the firewood and hit the handle right below the head. Grandpa saw me do it and came over to make sure I was OK, but it had started that typical split in the handle. We took it to the shop, he popped out the wedge and removed the head. We glued the split, put it in the vice, doweled it in several directions (I think 8 times total, you can see 5 of them.) The next day, it came out of the vice, trimmed and sanded, soaked the end grain in BLO while we ate lunch and re-hafted the head with a new wedge. I'm still using that axe today over 40 years later. It works.

If you think you have it bad, the next person has it worse be grateful.

I always want to write a book as a response to videos like these. I'll sum it up to say I'm glad you're here doing what you do and taking us along for the ride. Every day on this side of the dirt is a blessing and is to be counted as such!

Love that dowel trick. Never stop never stoppin’! Survivors baby! Sorry for your loss. Enjoy it while you got it!

Prayers and blessings to Wendy's family.

So for y’all’s lost . Praying for you and your family. GOD bless y’all and safe travels

Condolences to you and your family Buckin. Love the tip for the handle! Thanks for the video Buckin!

Awesome tip Buckin thank you so much give Wendy my best.

What an awesome idea Buckin! I have replaced so many handles that I could have dowled! Thank you Buckin!🤩🤩 You & your wife have a wonderful tri!p!🤩🤩

Sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences friend🙏

Ca glue, aka super glue, will seep into the crack and fill it in. Then sand it smooth and if it really bad put the dowl in it. Then soak it in an oil.

Bless you. May you have a wonderful day.

Love to you and your family with the sad loss , god bless.

Sorry for the loss 😢take care love the videos.

Buckin you have been a gift to watch. My question is how do you evaluate a restoration project or anything else so that you are comfortable you are not likely to get in over your head? I’m asking generally but I am picking up a Jonsered 70E later today. Runs but leaks bar oil. I think that is something I can handle but I have gotten in too deep in the past. Where do you draw your lines and how do you know when to pull back? You are great. I love to watch your videos and absorb your enthusiasm for life.

Thanks for the Tips Billy , always appreciate .God Bless you and family take care .None of us are getting any younger.

❤Love the video and you sharing how to fix the handle so your not having to throw it out

generally dont oil or put finish on before you glue up .... peace

Your enthusiasm is infectious brother much love and respect from Canada eh! God bless and be safe I always get a kick out of the content like The time you were working in someone's front yard and the husband showed up that was awesome brother I laughed for days

bucking Billy Ray, we bought a Ford F150 with the 5.0 L gen 3 coyote, Its very nice. The main thing is getting used to the large transmission. But, sport mode shifts with a lot more authority. Tow mode keeps it in the torque range. We love ours, and I hope you enjoy yours. Safe travels sir.

I watch your videos all the time

Nice work. The key is to not let your timber handles get dry. Every Autumn (aka Fall) while it’s still warm and the grain is open, oil all your timber handles. Set them up in the shed, clean them, look them over, sand any splinters etc. Set up a 44 gal drum or bath to allow the oiled tools to drain, and a large tray to oil over. I use raw Linseed oil, with up to 50% turpentine. You can use straight but leaves the handle sticky, which takes time to work free. Your hands and tools will thank you.

This is a good repair that will work, can work on old wood gunstocks as well and yes a waterproof glue like titebond lll is warranted.

Who knows how to pour from a can w/o dribbling it all over the can (?) . ☆

Amen 🙏 god bless

hi there real good idea , thank you john,

Easy to get dowels for that. Most grocery stores have the packers of bamboo skuers in the picnic isle.

Wow, cool trick with the dowelings. I need to file that away in the old head for when the time arises. Thanks, Buckin’.

Thx for sharing this friend

This is a beautiful handle. Well worth saving w/ a little maintenance (if it had a little, just a little, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place). Before drilling into such a sweet handle, I’d tape off the area around the cracks, taping in parallel to the cracks, then press some water resistant wood glue - marine grade urethane glues would be even better - and press it into the cracks until the crack is completely full. Wipe off any excess glue, then wrap it tight w/ tape, or clamp it. Lightly sand the area after the glue is fully dry. Now give the handle the T.L.C. You should have given it in the first place. Maintaining the tools you have is generally cheaper than buying new ones. Try to find a handle like this in your hardware store. I have (& regularly use) a 70+ year old Radial Arm Saw. If properly cared for, my grandson will be able to use it every day.

Thanks Buckin , I’ll dowel the next time i break one instead of replacing it 👍

Would it have been better to put the dowels in before the oil was applied?

Hey Buckin’ sorry for your loss. Be safe while on your trip. Quick question, what Watco tint do you use onyour handles? I received my first batch of four of your handles. Still waiting for the second batch of four to arrive. Got my Gullet T- shirt already too!

Glad you like the handles. I mix natural with dark walnut

Could have just put thin superglue in those cracks and then squeezed it and hit it with accelerator. Boom! 5 minute fix and probably stronger.

Friend that is just crazy, I'm telling you crazy man. Wow, drill a hole and put a loose dowel in it. Just crazy man.

Very sorry to hear of death in your family my deepest condolences. Great idea for fixing handle much enjoyed!!

The handle was improperly dried. If you paid more than $2 you were taken.

Making a handle out of Oregon Mountain White Oak. I have a nice piece with straight grain. The tree came from 4750 feet on Mt. Ashland.

Hey Billy, I need some help with a double bit maker's mark.

If you want to stain stuff, Black Walnut trees and Tanoak trees are great, I also like using walnut oil for oiling down and finishing axe handles or any wood handle. Now go get nuts and have some fun 😀

I do the same thing with wood gun stocks that get damaged. With practice you can repair them and cannot see the repair at all. You want too hide that crack use super glue and some of the sanding. Put the glue in and sprinkle the wood sanding over it and wipe with a rag really quickly. They will disappear.

What is the length of the handle on the axe you carry on your belt and what’s the weight of the head?

Buckin’ the stuff you gave me with the suspenders is great! I used it on the suspenders but also on 2 pairs of boots and I still have 3 that I’d like to do. Is there any way to buy a couple of cans? I also love the smell. 😎

Wood glue is nuts it’s like welding for wood.

Buckin billy ray how are you doing today

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Please tell your wife my prayers are with her. Bless you both Buckin.

If you really want to show that work, you can turn your dowel out of the same wood and then align the grain when you put them in there. You'll never see that and it'll be skookum as frig!

Condolences. Dowling the handle resurrected it. Giving it a new life with an added bit of character definition. Cosmic karma. Some of us humans would benefit from a little glue and dowling to better our cracks in character.....

What you doing buck? 😂

Why not dowel it and drop glue into the whole crack before oiling it to let the glue really work everywhere?

Love ya , but you should of glued it before the oil was put on.

🕊
