This is definitely meant to be. I am watching Billy's video on wrapping handles on Easier Sunday. Thank you brother. Blessings from Montana

You are exactly right!! I just looked up videos for wrapping my handle and as soon as I saw Buckin I got excited to see your technique. I want to give you a very personal thanks, I’m a combat veteran and have a very hard time sleeping, I watch your videos when I can’t sleep between the sounds of saws and axes and listening to you I can get my mind to rest and get some good sleep. Thank you

Hay hay there Bucking looking good my man. That 550 cord is nylon try doing it while its wet, once it dries the rope shrinks and it gets extra tight.

Blood came out , i was expecting bar oil 😁

Not having Band-Aids is wonderfully optimistic, but please consider having a preset CAT tourniquet in your pocket, friends. 😉

Great Idea Billy very interesting. Welcome new soldiers of kindness just joining us.have great week folks. Be kind

Hope you get healed up and feel better soon. Happy Easter to everyone!!

Fantastic video! I need to tighten up the head on the first axe I hung, it slipped a tiny bit this winter pounding on a frozen log to bust it loose from the ground. Once that's squared away I think I'll wrap the axe too. I have an entire roll of recoil rope for weed eaters that I barely ever need, so I think I'll use that because the budget is a bit tight at the moment. Everyone have a GREAT Easter Sunday! See you in the trees.

Hi buckin love your work and how you tell stories and tell how to do the work great 👍🙂 you have been a big inspiration for me . And thanks for that friend 🤗 kindness Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰

Tactical upgrade....very nice Buckin.

Nicely done buckin I can’t wait to try this. Being a mechanic myself I’m always making hillbilly bandaids out of rags and tape 👍

Excellent thanks for the vid your a natural in front of a camera most people would be fumbling around good job.

Did the same wrap on my Husqvarna forest axe a few years back.I used rope that I bought from a climbing store,they have them in different colors and diameters and is much stronger in my opinion.Great video !

Buckin, You are priceless man. Taping leather on the axe before you put tape or a band aid on your bleeding thumb! LOL. A man has to know what is important. Looking forward to shaking your hand at Buckinstock, try not to cut it off before we get there.

Did my first axe today with my boy watching. The axe was my Grandfathers a Firestone standard. I removed handle which was rough. I sanded the stick down just enough to clean up reset the head burnt it sanded again. Then we ran to town for some danish oil and what do ya know I found Watco {sweet} wiped er down and wrapped the old stick. I think will gift it to my Father for his Birthday. Be Kind.

Wow!! I wasn't expecting that!! The way the loose end is tied up is wicked!! Of course it's tight Buckin, you done it lol... Noticed you didn't do the "I'm a maniac" song & dance on the live feed yup you're defo hurting there, take it easy, maybe do some videos on baking or window cleaning to keep us all in touch heehee!! Mixture screw videos never go wrong there's always someone asking about that & how much do the seasons affect them?? Bleeding good show Billy I really wanted to see this👍. Chin up people, shine on 😀❤️👍

Crazy Glue those nicks together Buckin'. Squeeze the cut hard first to stop the bleeding and dry the cut for a sec.

Great video Buckin. Awesome way to protect the Buckin specials

Ohhhh yeah the hair looks amazing. Great video of paracord wrap. I learned a ton will be trying to wrap a handle tomorrow thanks BR

I love your vids Buckin. I've been watching so many lately, while I'm working on projects around my house and for other people. I really like the positive message as well as the many tutorials. I've been clearing land on my property for years and you've given me so many helpful tips. I appreciate you so much. Thank you and keep up the amazing work and positive messages.

There’s just something about that paracord wrap👌 makes a mean lookin axe just look just a little tougher. That stuff is tough for sure! It’s amazing when you look back not too long ago to a car port with a blue tarp and a propane heater. So many things have changed but the core things have never changed a bit👌 love to you and the family❤️

Great job Billy, give it a try with bees wax on handle before you wrap it. Becomes crazy solid... works for me. Keep up the great work! Coach

Hey Billy, it's been a while and I'm glad to see you haven't lost a step. They're planning a major redesign of the museum's campus where I'm a guard. I don't know what their plans for the trees are, but some of those trees are potentially a hundred years old. I thought how I know one man who'd see the tragedy in throwing them away. Anyway, I still love your energy man.

Hi buckin and the army,

Ouch!! Hate dealing with them hand cuts for the next week. Just got done parawrapping mine. Thanks Buckin!!

Don't feel bad, Buckin. I often cut myself on my axes. Wrap looks great!

Been around since 1000k, still can’t keep up with your energy. Bottle it! I’ll buy a pint! I don’t comment much but just wanted to say hello and thanks Buckin’. I still watch all your videos and enjoy your perspective and inspiration. Love ya bud. See you at Buckinstock!

I was going to buy a handle protector for my Collins Double bit axe, but wow … expensive! Then I remembered from your list of videos you did a Para-Cord Wrap as a axe handle protector. That's for me, so I'm watching it. Hey, when you have a little thumb mishap … Bring in Sven to give you a break. We like to see more of him in the videos, that guy is a lot of fun. Thank you so much for the shared knowledge in each video … It's greatly appreciated. We having fun.

Nice. Your haircut is looking clean!!!!! Too.😲😆axe really good!!!!!!!👏👏👍👍

Instead of using paracord I use tar infused catfish bait line from Walmart. The tar infused in it won't let it rot and it does the same thing as the paracord. Plus the tar lets to get a grip on the handle by the head for better control of the head if you're trying to use it to make what's called feathering in bushcrafting to help make fire starting material.

As the unofficial nurse of the channel, yes you should have some bandaids in the bunker. The bleeding will stop better with pressure rather than sticking it in your bacteria filled mouth. Just want you around to keep teaching us and breeding kindness. Stay safe brother.

Great video excellent way to protect your axe there beutiful man I hope you hit 50,000 subscribers soon buddy lots of soldiers of kindness one big family👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Been showin up for life got my boys in a tree takin it slow and safe. Learnin knots and such. Hobby for now but there diggin it Keep missin the live feeds though lol.

Yes. I've been wanting to see this. Thank you, Buckin.

Cool wrap. I have several handles to wrap now. Hope you get better soon, Buckin'!

Buckin you did that exactly right. I just para rapped two vintage axes today except I used yellow cord on flame blacked handles. Love your channel

Hey buckin wow what an Axe

I had wrapped my little wedge banger. Kinda felt like it was "bush" league, but it makes sense. Sometimes axes need band aids too.

First time I ever seen that done lol nice job might have to try that out some day. Happy Easter buckin be safe everybody

I’m certainly going to do this! Thanks for sharing!

Nice work and explanation. I’m definitely doing this soon!

Good version of the process!

Loving your videos! Entertaining, educational and just great! I do agree with your comment about wanting to watch our guys doing something. Reviewing something. Learn to trust your opinion and knowledge I guess. Cheers and have a great day Buckin'!

You can also pull the inner out on the loop part underneath making it a little flatter and little unnoticed.

All I can say is I just wrapped mine & it's going to get redone . As far as cutting yourself well, slow down and take a breath first, second get yourself a roll of paper towel & a couple tubes of super glue , wipe with towel & put on glue ,works ever time !!! :-)

I use super glue when I cut myself.. Works great for me 😀 saves stitches

Hi from the uk grate vid billy top man top job

That's a Wrap!! Nice work!

Nice wee video-helpful👍🏻

Whenever I have an axe in the vise, or am going to be handling it for any length of time without a sheath on it, I put a piece of tape over the bit. Saves from getting cut. I used to think I was cut proof, but not any more. Cheers.

Beautiful job !!!!!!

Great job and video. Hey, get you a torch lighter for burning the ends on that Paracord. Much quicker, easier, and especially more precise so you don't accidentally burn a wrap.👍

Nice job!!

WAS LOOKING FOR THIS ONE 👍😁

Hey Buckin I've been doing this on a few on mine, but have trouble keeping them tight where the handle starts to come off the shoulders. single bitt. It does save the handle on a missblow for sure. Thanks for doing this one! I better make you a couple leather sheaths to keep on them babies when you're making these episodes!!

Hey buckin, good time to get caught up on saw maintenance and repairs !!! LOL !!

That looks really good! Thanks for the demonstration Buckin ' For a minute I thought it was going to be like the old SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd doing Julia Child impersonation, "oops I seem to have cut myself "

I absolutely LOVE how that wrapped up over the lugs on that! You operate on one of the best analogies ever and it actually flows with your whole outlook on each day and that is KISS KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Now you don't have to use the word stupid of course and in your case Buckin, you could tweak it to Keep It Simple Soldiers Point being that the wrap is so simple yet effective, it's almost silly lol. I will most definitely be doing this on my axes and splitting mauls as I've usually got 4-5 different people who swing them and there's no way around the handle getting whacked, it's like rocking a chain or hitting steel........it's just going to happen regardless, it's part of the game. Thanks for making this video pal, I sure as heck enjoyed it simple as it may be it is a damn good little trick

Thanks Billy!

Hey Buckin' I'be been a carpenter 12 years. I. just rehandled an old Hults Bruks 3 1/2 looks beauty. Just out in the bush all day yesterday bringing in firewood. These days I'm studying to become a Registered Massage Therapist. A good strong RMT would sort you out right quick.

Thanks for inspiring me to try this. I put the first long loop along the front edge of the handle so it doesn't add thickness to the sides and adds cushioning to the front....i don't know if this is a good idea or not.🤔

Awesome, I learned something new!! Thank you Mr Billy Buckin professor!!! We’re do you get the para cord????

I would probably treat a new axe with many coats of linseed oil before doing this. The paracord would probably bite a bit too much in to a new axe. Nice video.

mombasadele that’s exactly what I was thinking. I think for me I’ll do a couple months of coatings then every year I might undo the paracord and put another coat of BSO on it

@mombasadele479

Joe Schranz Yeah exactly. And you can't really only oil the part without the paracord, it would leave an ugly section beneath. BSO - is that beewax with linseed oil?

Coat the whole wrap with super glue, and it'll be practically bulletproof after it all melts together.

Nice, sure i will do that

Sweet pinky ring!

and thats a wrap folks!....pun intended...donate that blood!

Hmm.. I have to agree with matt van berkel here… I was expecting bar oil or two stroke oil to pour out of the cut in your thumb.. Haha!! Just kidding.. But wrapping the upper part of the handle with paracord is just good, common sense. It will withstand the bashing and abuse from beating wedges much better.. Have seen it done with soaked rawhide, and the result was impeccable. When the rawhide dried, it tightened up and became rock solid. Hope all of you in here a great week, take care folks, and be kind :)

Buckin' holdin' back the curse words.

Billy I just did my axe like on your site came out great when I get cut working i use duck tape or electronic tape no bandage

Working on my poor single bit ax. Looks like someone used a flint to sharpen it, like the cave men. All rippled along the edge, nasty. My last thing is to wrap it with cord. Thanks for the tips. It looking like a complete different ax, shiney sharp edge.

I also like it tight friend

Nice video Buckin. I feel like doing it now:) By the way, here from distance, it seems to me, like there's something going on, telling you to stop for a while, take a deep breath and rest before whatever this is, passes. Well, its just a thought, i might be wrong. Anyway, you seem that you can listen to your protection voice. So keep doing it! Take care, be safe, be well. Many people care about you. Love

love the wrapping work but watch ur fingers lol. lucky hogan he is getting an amazing axe

Good video. I finally got around to wrapping my tomahawk handle. I only had one problem. The rapping part is pretty straightforward. The part I had the problem with was burning the ends of the Paracord so that they don't fray. How can you do that without burning the first row of Paracord adjacent to the end of the wrap?

Tried this all day on a Helko Werk Expedition from the Forster line. Could not get it to work no matter how wrapped it. The handle does have a laquer finish so that may have been a large part of the issue.

👍

Becoming accident prone???? lol.....that is a good one. Stay safe friend!

Careful with that thumb very very valuable tool on youtube hard 2 get around without it hitchhiking and all. Oh and do what that Billy guy said take a few days off 2 realine things!

I know what is is.....it's the new color of you 5 o'clock shadow my friend...

What model Go Pro do you have.?

If you pour or dip the para cord wrap in boiling water it tightens the heck out of everything shrinks the cord
