    I’ve watched you split a lot of wood over the years on this channel and saw your strength when swinging the axe, but today my friend on those huge rounds has given me a new appreciation on your strength and how well you can read the wood.
    Stay safe, be kind everyone and love always wins

  • @thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849

    You know, my friend, you truly do have the right "spirit"! 🙏
    One of the reasons I know that, is that no matter what is going on in my life, no matter how fast the pace might be at the time, and the number of things swirling in my mind, when I open up any of your videos, immediately my breathing slows as does my heart rate and my blood pressure drops. That's what the right spirit will do to you! Thank you dearly from the bottom of this old boy's heart! ❤️
    Love you all...

    4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
    8 Love never fails. Love ya Buckin!

  • @sawdustadikt979
    @sawdustadikt979 Před 2 lety +2

    Speaking of hitting rocks with your axe, I live in New England. That being said I, also like splitting on the ground. A great work around is using a half sheet of 3/4 in plywood under your rounds. Put a hole in it a tie a rope on it and pull it around the pile to make a hard task just a bit easier and save that beautifully sharpened maul or axe your swinging.

    Just a thought Buckin, some old guys that have passed on once told me to split from the top of the tree down. These old timers hand split there entire life, low and behold it works, if you can tell how the tree grew put the top of the tree facing towards your axe. let me know if you can tell a difference.

      I guess it’s an oak thing, that’s mostly what we use here in the south East. Red oak is easy splittin, white oak can be tough but I try to always do top down splitting. So cool to get a reply from you Buckin’, you are such a positive figure in a weird world, keep up the awesome work! If I ever cross the border, I am going to make it a point to come stop by.

    Question
    Whats the proper way to sharpen an edge on my axe. I dont own a water stone but id like to get a good kneen edge on my 2 sided axe one of the 2 sides has a nick it it i can grind it out with a 4" body grinder becuse it would take all day with a file. Assuming its forged steel it is an older long handle axe
    With a hickory handle. I got it used for a few bucks. It was pretty sharp I put the nick in it hitting a tree stump and glanced off and hit cement sidewalk.
    Im not splitting logs with it just chopping down 1 and 2" dia trees i dont want in my wooded lot then adding a stump killer
    I could use my chain saw but seems like a waste to dig it out just for this.
