“The Eastern Brown Snake is the second most venomous snake in the world, behind the inland taipan.” Yeah, that axe isn’t nearly long enough. Good job not getting envenomated.
They're also more venomous the younger they are. A yearling brown is supposed to be twice as dangerous as 3 or 4 year brown snake.
Not even 2 mins in and I'm in tears mate, never stop being Pete.
what's so bad about a lil brown snake? (googles australian brown snake) ah, yeah ok
How this channel doesnt have a 1,000,000 subscribers I'll never understand. So good!
I was once cleaning up old car parts and tyres in my yard being supervised by the chickens, there was a rat nest. All I can say is that 'cold blooded feeding frenzy' is probably the only way of describing it
Vadim Kraichuk did research on heat in Work sharp. He found the combination of high speed and fine belt to be dangerous for overheating and messing with the HT.
As in any belt grinder, the WS is safer because the belts are thinner so they don't retain as much heat and it's relatively free floating, as long as you don't crank up the motor and move the blade at around 1 inch per sec you should be fine
While I haven't watched all of your videos, I can't imagine you have done a better opening. Magnificent! I have the base MK2, didn't realize the grinder would add on another $140 USD... yikes. Maybe I'll add it one day.
13:13 Australia Man yoked ?! Looking good bruh
Great video - I’m a big fan of the first belt grinder attachment, I use it in some way or another for most of our mods, and it can do a surprising amount of workshop tasks. I’m glad to see that Worksharp is doing an update. Good to see you back on the tube Pete!
The plastic isn't what I've found scratches the blade, it's little bits of metal that have been ground off. I'm not sure if the felt would help with that. People say to put painter's tape over the blade, but that's inconsistent and a hassle. I end up just not using the guides or wiping them out frequently.
Just for the non-Australians out there what Pete did was considered by most as stupid but as he lives out on a property, stupidity becomes necessity. You see, not only is the eastern brown snake one of the most venomous snakes in the world, it is also one of the crankiest. Thankfully most Australian snakes slither away to avoid people - not the eastern brown. They are territorial to the max. These guys will not only attack but chase you. By burning the nest all Pete did was p!ss them off. I do a lot of hiking & camping in Aus and the only snake that scares me is the easter brown. Pete - kudos for not dying. PS. Chickens are descended from dinosaurs. This just proves it. Sharp blades (or axes) all.
I knew it was the chickens... Even when i thought it was the snakes, i knew it was the chickens!
Thanks Pete! I have only the older version, but it's perfect!
Delightful, as per usual. 👏🏻👏🏻
I can highly recommend a barbed fishing spear from BCF gives you a good 4meters space between you and the “venomous wiggly sticks”
Chickens are just small T-Rex's.
Nice, i applaud you not screaming like a little girl and "calling someone". It's good to be a bit scared, you'll live longer and suffer less
OK, being scared of snakes is a good thing. My reaction to them is often to just freeze. In my case they've been tiger snakes, not as venemous as Eastern Browns, but stroppy with it if you don't back off. Being scared of Eastern Brown snakes is an eminently sensible way to feel, and act. And I'm amazed you went after one with an axe.
Great vid btw.
Thanks, you legend 💪🏻
Good to see you mate. Im gonna have to watch in segments cause I'm at work but for a change, I'm having some slack time so will watch here & there. Started off great.
Egg become Chicken, Chicken eat Snake, Man eat Chicken, Man become Egg.
I do free handing. but bought one of these for my big ass choppers and convexed edge knives. It's actually pretty good! I still prefer my freehand sharpening on my normal sized knives, but if you need a new edge on a 13" kukri, free handing is a royal pain in the ass! This makes quick and easy work of it!
Hey Pete,
Have ya seen the new Odinwolf W-Mini knife?
It's definitely a direct comparison to the Mora Eldris, BUT way better.
They have a scandi and saber version with D2 steel and really cool little kydex polymer sheath.
$19 U.S so probably $45 for you folks living downstairs.
It was like fruit by the foot! LOL.
You're the best 👊🏻
I actually like the original (cheaper) Worksharp for oversize tools (axes, shovels, machetes, swords) because you can easily remove the blade guide and swivel the head, then use the sharpener freehand on the tool. It's a lot easier to move the sharpener over a clamped shovel or axe (or katana) than it is to move the tool over the sharpener while also trying to stabilize the sharpener and operate the button. I have gotten shovels and hoes remarkably sharp with this, and precision isn't really necessary.
Found a snake in the shitter the other day! Luckily only non venomous live in my area and are like mouse traps that don’t need to be emptied
For all's information brown snakes are born ready to kill and have small dog syndrome. From the moment of hatching. Even mummy leaves as soon as possible.
Pete has more adventure in 1 day than I do in six months. But, I
don't get headaches from it. SNAKES=Headache.
I'm curious to know where you got this from? I've heard NZ (where I'm from) and Australia can't get the MK2... obviously they were wrong
Lovely opening monologue 😅
And I am not good with snakes!!
0:09 is best part. Common AustraliaMan W.
Normal snake, no big deal. 2nd most venomous snake in the world, yeah I’d probably have a headache too….and be in need of a new pair of shorts
Lost my desire to visit Australia within the first minute of this video! Ignorance WAS bliss. Thanks Pete....
lol the intro is like a stand up comedy
G'day Pete, yeah too close with the axe mate, long handled shovel for me ; )
Q. if I may. I've been hanging out to get the blade grinder attachment. Does the new version fit the old motor ?
Cheers Duke.
I want one
Pete your axe is sharper than my pocket knife
I am not good at sharpening. Thinking hard about one of these. What’s the biggest problem with getting a convex edge on pocket knives? Everyone always wants a complete flat ground edge but I guess I don’t know why a convex would be a bad thing?
It's not a bad thing it just cuts a little different. Maybe harder to shave with and easier to feather stick. You may not notice though, especially if you don't free hand sharpen later on.
Convex edges are particularly tough/durable and are best suited in situations where the edge might be subject to impact. Batonning & chopping wood are good examples. This is because: a) convexing leaves more steel near the edge & 2) a curve (ie. convex) is stronger than a flat surface. I deliberately convex the edge on a number of my fixed blades for this reason. Technically a flat or hollow grind can offer better cutting & slicing performance primarily because you can get much thinner edges compared to a convex edge. Now let's drop back to reality - most users probably don't care too much as along as the blade is sharp and most users won't notice the difference. If it does matter - as a general statement - choose a convex where edge toughness & durability are a priority and choose a flat or hollow where cutting & slicing are a priority. While I would never use one of these machines to sharpen my more expensive 'collector' knives, for every day user blades they work well. I strongly recommend you buy a few cheap knives to practice on first before trying it on any 'good' blades. Hope this helps.
@realbroggo I learned about micro bevels not too long ago, and I can't go back to a convex. with the 25° to 30° micro, it's still supper slicey on a machete. With a 17° on it.
@@Goochgravysuppliers No problem there. Remember that most advice is generalised and certainly not the only way. Find a formula that works for you and go for it! Also don't be afraid to experiment a bit as well. I have several cheap blades that I use specifically for experimenting. Have a great day.
I friggin love you Pete. Crack me up
It's a shame I couldn't find any EU dealer that carries these. I'd love to get one
Any chance that the old blade grinder attachment would fit on the new motor unit?
Did you manage to snag a 240v one? I imported one from US and have been using it with a step-down transformer as local retailers aren’t expecting them for a few more months.
I’m underwhelmed though. Think I’d probably be happier with the $130 1x36” belt grinders I’ve seen knife makers use.
I see how the ws ken onion systems can be useful for some stuff but i wont let it touch any of my knives. According to larrin thomas and roman kasé there is a negative effect of such systems on the ht of the blades. (The problem is the very edge where the steel gets thin. There it easily overheats and you cant measure that with that thermometer)
Yes it is technically possible to burn the edge and ruin the heat treat - esp. as you indicate with thin edges & deep hollow grinds. However, as Pete indicates you pretty much have to deliberately try to do this. Depending on the steel, tempering temperature is usually somewhere between 200-450 deg Celsius. You won't reach this temp using a belt sharpener in normal conditions - esp. on an axe head with lots of steel to help absorb heat. If you're concerned, the best way to avoid excess heat is to avoid trying to remove too much stock/edge at once. Several light passes as better than one intense one. Take care.
@@realbroggo unfortunately thats not true. Every edge gets really thin just at the very cutting edge. There its just few atoms stick and there it overheats. Also the ht gets negatively affected way below the tempering temperature. If it stays below the tempering temperature it still affects grainstructure. There is a whole article by dr Larrin Thomas where he did research this.
@@Superbus753 Issues with grain structure is a whole different proposition. I'm certainly not going to argue against Larrin Thomas - #respect. Just remember that most bulk produced knives are belt or grinder sharpened at the factory and this would mean that these knives are all leaving the factory with heat treat problems. But to go back to your grain structure comment and add a further issue with inconsistent results - these are the reasons I only use a belt sharpener on my axes and beater knives. I primarily use fixed angle systems so that I can have much tighter control over the results and maintain consistency along the entire edge. If you look after your edge in the first place using a manual system doesn't take long at all. Have a great day.
@@realbroggo it takes about 4-5 full sharpenings to get to „good“ steel on most knives when they come from the factory.
Hey Pete! How do the belts handle that maxamet blade ?
Are the attachments interchangeable between the models?
Blimey! This. "Can I kill a snake that is on my property? No. All Queensland reptiles are protected by law and are considered an intricate part of our natural ecosystem. Attempting to catch or kill protected wildlife can be exceedingly dangerous, and carries a maximum penalty of 5 years behind bars, or a $77,000 fine." Don't know where you live, of course. That would be weird!
Will the new grinding part attach to your old motor?
does the new blade grinding attachment work with the old grinder?
Chickens love to eat centipedes in Hawaii too
So since the chicken 🐔 ate the venomous snake🐍, does that mean the eggs 🥚 will be venomous?!🧐🤣
Shovels are more effective at treading on snakes
Possibly. However, the eastern browns are both very venomous and very angry dudes. Ideally you really want to kill them on the first attempt to avoid them attacking you. These snakes are very territorial and rarely flee. Numerous Australians are bitten each year - usually while trying to kill them. (Thankfully with the availability of anti-venom few now die.) I'm mighty impressed that Pete wasn't bitten. Take care.
Fangtastic!
I have the older version. Is it possible the new blade grinder fits on the old motor housing?
Why did the intro sound like an “I think you should leave” skit?
he’s my hero
"That's gonna kill me. That's real. That lives with us on earth"
how many rope cuts for the axe?
So basically if I have the old Ken onion and happy with it and know how to use it I’m ok?
Chickens aint chicken mate 🐔👊
You need a shotgun but your guy (substitute the vowel for the right one) government very likely won't allow you one these days plus...do Aussies have access to anti venom at home? is it a thing or do you have to go to hospital? (Googling it now). And what about spiders? Any eight-legged action going on at yours Pete? I often wonder....
Nice GF. Wish I could afford one.
Please do temps in freedom too. I don’t understand this community Celsius
Yes, these tool are cool but in the end stone and ceramic stick (eventually leather with polishing paste) are still the best. If you sharp more knives then only yours, belt grinder (bigger then these toys) is the best.
First 🎉
