BUCKIN' Billy Ray Smith

[Czed]

What do you guys think of Tinman? I will admit, Ironhorse was the first chainsaw building video I watched when I started getting into building saws.. Obviously I have since found better channels. I think IH has been holding onto some of those "customer" saws for over a year.. Sucks for the owners..

Here's a porter in Australia

I’ve gone off talking about somethings ,, ie after the tin pony shenanigans then the click bait bs johns custard saws vid (custard is just a term I use as I don’t want to use the real word and promote the person) So I,m a bit more reserved now..

however, I will say there are a group of people hanging round bbrs and getting work from his channel. you can call it good Business or bad and that is down to you and if you know what the customer is getting.
but is the customer really getting what they are paying for, sadly it not always the case.

I can happily say, I don’t want a $400 axe that some yt guy rehung that I would enjoy more doing it myself… even if I did get it wrong a few times..

I think I’ve said before about the famous people talking about friends in vids . Well, if you feel your a friend of some yt guy you’ve never met. then your already drawn into it all..

Edit yes it is I can’t believe I could recognised his drunk/slurred voice after a few months

The chainsaw guy has since passed on. He was actually quite knowledgeable at least unlike the rest mentioned in this thread

That and he has every right to charge for his expertise. I know I do. How my family gets fed.

Doesn't make your knowledge worth any less.

Doesn't make your knowledge worth any less.

Monetary reward is not the only indicator for knowledge or intelligence, and YouTube is a cesspool of misinformation most of the time .

hello friends ... I can't believe people pay $400 for one of his "custom" axes...

The most expensive hafting job you could ever have the “pleasure” of paying for. Friends

yes we’ve known for sometime..
although you can look at it indifferent ways. He does give to needy causes, so all your money is not just going to him. But how much he keeps and gives away is up to him.

however I like I said back in post #362 I’d rather learn to do it myself.
And also buy more toys (saws) with the money I saved

Probably people with more money than sense I suppose, can't say I wouldnt sell axes for 400$ if I could get away with it either lol. I found buckins videos became more fluff after his subscribes skyrocketed, as happens with most youtubers, makes em soft in the trade or some chit cause they dont need to work as hard anymore. I still watch and learn from his videos occasionally though. his filing vids have helped many. git tha gullet

Yes, he still has some good content when it comes to him cutting wood. I know it helped me a lot because I'm not a pro logger. I just fast-forward through the chit chat and ignore the live feed videos.

How about guilty of treeson ?

I happen to stop in at Billy Ray's from time to time. It's not about information although there is lots , it's about entertainment & variety for me. My personal favs are Bjarne Butler's channel & Two Stroke Stuffing's. To those who question the logic of spending $400 on a custom axe....those who watch my channel know where I'll go with that one Lots of money is spend on peer pressure fads, pride, bling, & BS stuff.... I certainly don't need 50 saws ( my stock 565 is all I need ) or 15 boat motors, even that tweaked v6 so have to be the LAST one to be critical of that!

 

[Motorka]

Ok. But you show what is important not sam bs.

 

[slackinoff]

I like his channel. I’m not buying an axe but I do enjoy how and what he shows. Compared to what is really popular on YT….he is doing the world a favor if it keeps young folks from focusing on that trash.

 

[Motorka]

And sell axe for 400 .
