All you people out there that have lost folks that could have taught you this: this is it friends. He’s teaching us. At least for me, and I sure appreciate it!

Thanks so much Billy. My son just purchased 45 acres in Seminole, Alabama. I’m retired and assisting him with his land. I absolutely love your commentaries and educational video’s. I’ve purchased some old throw away axes and new files to follow your video’s. Wow I really enjoy the gritty hard work and appreciate how sharp I’ve been able get the axe. Hopefully I can find old rusty HB and bring it back to life. I’ll send a pic after I’m done. Thank you, god bless. Al

Buckin you’ve got the most friends than any man alive.

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith this is a fine masterpice of a axe!the shoulder looks realy unique.i woud make an H wedgein to lock the head...very nice work,i love what you doing!

I file mine and then stone if needed. It's easier to keep the cheek profile right with a file, but it's also easy to cut yourself, too!! We never used an axe when I was a kid, either - not right, at least. It was a handle with a polled head on it to beat things, we split wood with a maul and cut it with a chainsaw, but I've come to appreciate hand tools later and the whole idea of geometry and edge finish/sharpness. at 3:00 - that's what we would've called the root profile. Good for axing tree roots in the middle of the dirt!! I've eased the cheeks on all of mine and they have just enough left to keep them from sticking but not enough to keep them from penetrating. They're a joy to use. It's important to protect the edge, but the geometry is more important than the particular method used to finish the edge.

getting in a little further, I see you're preserving splitting use....

Still pure gold. My grandfather's axe, 3 of them were never been happier. In 2022 it's a trend to throw away old stuff and replace with cheap new. You instead inspire people to priorize quality and real value, true things in life. I have more words to say but they are needless, cause your content says them all. This is it!

Buckin' you are the man! Refering us to others for custom axes, but we all want an ax made by "The man, the myth, the Legend" Mr. Buckin himself!

Dude, the fact that you do all this real deal stuff and gritty hard work, and are still a sweetie is amazing. Keep spreading the love brother

Hello Bucking. For you, that's not just an ax filing and sharpening. No, it's a ceremony, it takes time, experience, and love for work. Just great to watch you learn something again Thank you! Best regards from Germany my friend stay healthy !!!! 👍✌️🌲🌲🌲

Stumbling upon billy ray channel is one of the best thing ever happened in my youtube learning process. So many things I have learnt

The passion you display in your videos is insanely contagious! Thank you!

Makes me feel good about myself when he calls us friend

Love watching your how to’s. You have taught me a lot already!

I have both my Grand dad’s axes. One a single-bit and the other a double-bit. Both were Loggers back when axes, cross-cut saws, and mules were all that was available.

Хорошая работа, купил новый топор, начал болгаркой, но быстро понял что не серьезно это. Просмотрел много роликов, и ваш самый толковый, старая школа. Респект из молдовы

Hello Buckin’, could you draw out different profiles for chopping and splitting wood, I think a sketch would help many people out there in KZread land. This was a great video on sharpening an axe! Catch you later!

It would be nice to have a double bit with one side for chopping and one for splitting

Just recently started restoring axes. I made an absolute mess of my first one. Been watching your videos and a couple others. I have a Kelly True Temper double bit that I'll do next and now that I've learned a lot from you hopefully it goes better. I love your positivity by the way. I start watching for the axes, I stay for the life lessons.

Suddenly finding myself having to learn a whole bunch of new skills I never thought I'd have to. Wish me luck and thank you for your help.

I'm looking around and i'm hearing your stories and i get the sense that you have been working in your woodshed for a very long time. Your witticisms are priceless.

Buckin. What A Masterpiece. I have been inspired to get down to the shed and create my first axe using a vintage head that was donated to me from the father in law. Thank You.

Thanks for all the filing tips Buckin. Gonna put this to use this weekend I'm sure. Gotta get my axes in tip top shape for the heart of firewood season. Love wins for sure. Thanks Buckin 🌲❤🌲✊

I recently found my grandpa's old maul and axe and I'm glad you posted this video because now I have a lot of confidence in restoring the edges to get them working again.

yes sir

Learning is invaluable!!!!! Thank you Billy!!!!!!

Bob Ross of Axes. Nothing better, I have watched hours of you sharpening and teaching. Thank you.

There is so much division in our world. It is nice to have folks like you who are sharing and helping to bring us all closer together.

I I have an axe I really like for chopping through stuff, but I wouldn’t split wood with it if I could go get my splitting maul. I grew up splitting about ten cord of wood every summer to make our winter heat. I loved the workout and I loved making pieces fly. I was really small, under 100 pounds, but I always got the strength to weight records in high school and in the Ranger battalion. I had no trouble swinging the maul but I didn’t do as well splitting with the axes I tried. I’ll be on the lookout for different axe types at the garage sales. I can’t swing them anymore, but I can sharpen them and pretend I’m going to use it.

I taught my little brother this today. Much love

I’m a novice cord wood harvester for my home... your information is invaluable. Thank you! I’m subscribed now

Love the video, brother. I've got two axes that could use a bit of touching up. I mostly use them for splitting. Still, this approach to sharpening appeals to me. I'm going to give it a try later today.

Dude I love watching your videos. Your excitement about your pride over your completed project is awesome. A man should be beaming with pride when looking at a job well done

The best non gransfors bruks edge I’ve ever held I just tried it out I really appreciate the tip

Bit late to the party, but massive thanks for the shout out from Scotland. Means so much to us.

Buckin that is one special axe. When you do things you look like a master at work. Love to the world.

Best channel ever, this man is amazing.

I love how you're honest with yourself and everyone else. Not wanting to put people on back orders tells me that you're not doing this because you like it, rather than you're doing it because you love it. Plus you throw bones to other's. You're video with your neighborhood chainsaw man at his Saloon thought me that there's more to testing a axe than chopping a tree. Thanks again for doing what you do and just being yourself. Stay kind and Thank You until you're better paid.

My dad was a carpenter, and he was old school. He would make beautiful handles with a draw knife.

Good point about testing. I've been working on a couple, one for Christmas. But I won't let it go without testing it out.

Wow Billy stunning gratings from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪 love your channel my 2 boys also love watching you my oldes is 4 and my youngest is 2.5 and they pretend they are buckin Billy 👍👍

I sharpen my hoes and edge cutter the same way. thanks for showing this.

I have watched too many of these, now I have to try it for myself! I grabbed my grandfathers old ax from my dads house today. Gonna see if we can make it split wood again. Thanks Buckin!

I've got the same 32" HB, it's nasty sharp out of the box. I split kindling with it but it shines on low limbs and clearing too... worth every penny.

I tend to go by the width and consistency of the bevel, rather than counting strokes. You beautifully demonstrate how to achieve round cheeks. In sharpening, I always work the side with the narrower bevel. Watching you work makes my hands itch! (While I wash dishes). Yes indeed, our world is beautiful. Thank you for showing me your perfect axe.

Beautiful axe! The passion that drives you and the way that you tell the story about it is absolutely intriguing. I just bought my first wedge axe today and I honestly wouldn't have ok known about such a critter had it not been for watchin your videos. I'm really much obliged my friend! God bless

I have been practicing this on some hatchets...I have made one almost thin as a meat cleaver ..Almost too thin but really slices through wood

I only started watching a few days ago and already wish you where my pops haha, amazing man thank you for sharing your love and kindness it is helping me no end thank you buckin. Also 11.59 had me in kinks...

Love your videos and your positivity. You sir are truly a inspiration keep up the GREAT WORK love ya!!!!

Mankind moves forward with passion. Thanks Buckin'

Literally bought my first axe today and I only have a file. Axe didnt come sharp. This is perfect!

Yet another 38 minutes, 27 seconds of heaven, DEADLY!

Just got a Hults Bruk Akka for bushcraft and I love when you say it’s an HB.. they’re for cutting! Love the video and channel.. keep it up!

Great to see you working on an axe i have been splitting wood for over 40 years and have never learned to sharpen an axe maybe its time to learn, thanks Billy help up the good work. Thanks J Steven Anderson. Scotland (God's Country).......

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing your experience! ☮️💚🍎

“THUD” a beautiful mind at work! Love the HB. Be kind!

Your videos are awesome. You have great work ethics and positivity.

Every Axe I’ve watched you build out of the scrap yard has been Art! Brother!! Thank you for being on KZread! Love ya man tell ur fam hi!

I have the exact same pattern HB in a vintage 1.5# hatchet. Fantastic little blade!!!

Nice drum kit!!! No workshop is complete without one. 👍

You're kind of scaring me Mr. Smith! I'm being honest. You seem to put out a video of what I am about to work on myself the very next day! It's like you can read my mind or something! ( same wave length in the Universe???) LOL! I brought in all my axes from the shed and my truck, and am spending the day tomorrow sharpening them! FREAKY WEIRD! But I LOVE it! Have a great day everyone! Love to all!

Just amazing axe! God bless you Billy! Regards from Russia, Moscow!

Sharp cheeks; dynamite locket; get a good axe; Love People & Life: great lesson. Thanks man. I'll carry this with me today~

That’s why I love buckin! He just drifts and does his thing and doesn’t follow a book on how to! Like he said create your own experience! Love wins!

I found an old Plumb axe head, rusty and neglected in an old ammo box full of discarded tools for sale outside an antique shop, I’ve cleaned it up and replaced the handle etc, but, I lack the tools and experience to come close to your standards, but the intention’s the same, great work you do.

Great tutorial, Files to start stones in the middle, the stroppe to finish.

I can tell,Buckin' you take pride in your work,your quiet the perfectionist,be kind,love,forgive.

I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for going out of your way to make good videos for everyone. I love spending x amount of time enhancing my tools as well knowing the end result will be achieved greatness. You've helped me with my techniques the detailed explanations and visual repetitive training make your videos some of the best if not the best on KZread thanks!

What beautiful Deadly axe. Thanks for videos BUckin.

Buckin awesome video on sharpening an axe. I just restored one. You helped me a lot thank you

Very nice, thank you. Now I know how to make mine better where I had been frustrated.

Maybe I'm crazy but there is something super satisfying filing an axe.

Excellent tutorial. Always love the content.

Thanks for the sharpening lesson ole wise one. That thing is sweet.

Born and raised in Chicago. Now in San Jose, CA. Buckin's got me starting my own axe project now: a 2# Collins head off eBay. Killinger 28" Boy's Axe handle and Killinger large file handle are on their way.

Simply brilliant!

Thank you s much you have taught me a lot. Many Blessings

Can literally see you walking that shine over. Sweet teaching video

As always, great job Buckin!

Great video and I love your messages of peace and love

You are a warrior for good my friend. I stand with you 🙏

Love this. Just finished sharpening and cleaning the family axe head. Going to re-handle at 650mm and is an 800 head. Should swing like it used to😀

How'd it go?

That's such a great axe, priceless 👌 you can tell he doesn't wanna let that one go, and I don't blame em

Just finished rehanging a True Temper, maybe have pics soon. Great video.

Only part way through the video but I will say this is the exact reason I always tell people to buy the best files you can. Just look how much material is being removed and how quickly. Seen way too many people fighting with the cheapest files they can get and after a few passes they are dull. A file is a consumable item, they will wear out, but a good one does such a nice job in steel, and quickly, it is always worth the price.

That looks really sharp for sure. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

I'd love to see how to Sharpen a Maul. Awesome work!

Thank you for what you do great messages great axes oh and not bad with a power saw either. Stay true my brother
