Honestly for actually forging these weapons while actually editing it together as funny as they are? A video a month average is actually fantastic. Imagine being a MauLer fan waiting multiple years for him to get even halfway through his star wars 7 critique
To imagine that 13 years ago, Eli was a weird goth kid who made a scary glove thing and now he’s essentially Vin Diesel making weapons of mass destruction.
@@ladygabes5558 That's very mean to bully someone for your own ignorance. He even made a video talking about it, th-cam.com/video/SXIbHKVBHaw/w-d-xo.html.
“Well that took a little longer than expected, what’s it been a month and a half...” 😭 at this point I’m used it. Just as long as you keep makin vids it’s ok 😂. Keep up the good work bubba.
So theres this guy names the urban rescue ranch, he’s got an evil bird that attacks him, perhaps y’all could do an epic colab where you build him some armor and yall can test to see if it works against Kevin the devil.
Damn Eli I cannot tell you how happy it makes me when I get that notification. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. No pressure, honestly glad to see anything from you, but especially projects like this where you're just doing your thing, making what you want to make with your lil twists. P.S. You looking swole, healthy and shiny af that makes me happiest of all.
Nice, I was just binging your old stuff while waiting for the next sword vid. Not even slightly mad that this isn't a sword vid, just happy to see an upload. I am one of them OGs from back in the nonlethalbychoice days.
Watched this one video and subscribed before it was over, love the jokes, love the music track, love the anime references, and memes, great content 💯 my favorite part is the “little bit of rebar” does the trick Edit: watched till the end and the Skyrim hostile music with the bee, and then passive music is prime, glad I subscribed 🙏
Ah Eli, you were doing SO good with the uploads….. Well, its still better then before at times…. Ugh, what am i complaining about, all your upploads are a wonder!
As someone who is VERY interested in smithing I appreciate you explaining what your doing to tge axe head in depth. This is why I've been subbed for so long lol
Some of the closeup shots of Eli in an apron makes it look like a kilt, but now all I can think about is how Eli might actually be one of those few men that can somehow pull off a kilt.
I’m happy I got to see you making deadrising weapons, to getting taxed in a costume that’s a lil too small, and now making a rebar axe what a great time it’s been and thanks to you I’ve been experimenting with forging and weapon/armor crafting myself
did Eli actually go from 2mil to 1.2 mil, or am I remembering wrong. I swear he used to have 2 mil subs. Will a true diehard ZNA fan confirm if im crazy or not
Eli my man, I have never laughed harder at a TH-cam video than these. So quality rebar jokes🤌. I have watched you channel since I was 7 or 8 and I’m 16 now and you’re still one of my favorites.
u really have to appreciate the effort not just the build but the editing and film work alone must take so much time to get his style and it really makes everything that much better
Hey Eli, hope you see this cause I beg you to make a metal bow. You haven't made a bow since your crossbow and since you have some spring steel left do you think you can make a bow with it?
I'm still only partially through this video but oh sweet baby jesus I have missed this channel. Your audio work is perfection, your editing will always be funny but not distracting from the matter at hand, you have such a chill personality that works so well with your sense of humor. I just appreciate your channel a lot
ive been here for years eli you remind me of myself except i wish i had your ability to just move forward. none the less, your videos still help me get through day to day and i hope i have you around for a good while
I love seeing your progression Eli it’s awesome ive been watching you since 2015 and it’s wild to me to see your channel grow as well as you into something so grand
Love that every video you make is a banger. Everytime I see your videos I get excited to sit down, relax and watch some funny and awesome content. Thanks man
I haven't watched in a while but I was there from the sharp squares to the PVC bows. This whole journey had a lot of swings in various directions, but it makes me happy to see that you seem to be back in some sort of groove. Making pretty interesting stuff
God. I used to watch this guy so long ago. Lost my account and never saw any more videos. Then I found this channel again. I may have a career, girl, and kid I didn’t have when I watched all those years ago… but the videos are still great.
You DEFINITELY improved it. Like, beyond aesthetic, you added a solid head piece. That means head weight, so momentum and yadda yadda. You made a real axe, they made cosplay pieces
YES!!! this vid was awesome! the edits were great and the background humor was on point! and when you put tape over your hoodie! XD glad too see you back in business!
When you all about that axe 🪓 Love the videos,they are some of the first ones I have watched on TH-cam that inspired me to try backyard Blade smithing just for a fun weekend project.
Stopped watching this cahnnel a while ago since the uploads didnt come so consistently. This video just came inte my recommended and i remembered that this channel is fire and that im excited to see him make more content. I hope atleast
AHHH i'm so excited i loved your old videos so much and i've been watching you since i got a phone pretty much lol and now i'm starting college and you're BACK and you've switched up the vibes almost entirely and even then it's still good ole you your content just keeps getting better and better!
I've been watching you since you were a kid bro I grew up with your awesome vids you always gave me motivation to go an tackle my own projects seeing you grown up successful makes me happier then you could imagine I'm glad you got the recognition you deserve plus ur a beast bro keep on keepin on homie
Hell yeah man. Do what you feel is best. Forcing yourself to do a project before you are ready won't help. Still made super cool stuff as always. Stay driven.
Some cool stuff as Always, Eli. I am big time into weapons. My father got me into them and also gave me the skills I use as work and creation as well. I in turn did the same to my son. He got better than I could ever be. He recently took his own life, and as I watched this I just wanted to let you know before all the he loved your channel and tried many of your ideas. Keep up the good hecking work
I like how he explained the process in this video, he's always done it, but i feel like this videos did it really well, felt like if i was a blacksmith it'd be really beneficial to me...but im not so its more just intresting seeing how Eli thinks
Been around these parts for a while, hearing him promise a consistent upload schedule has become my favorite running gag
If only it'd be as consistent as that dapper head shine.
Been here for 2-3 years and… yeah that’s pretty accurate
Honestly for actually forging these weapons while actually editing it together as funny as they are?
A video a month average is actually fantastic.
Imagine being a MauLer fan waiting multiple years for him to get even halfway through his star wars 7 critique
He really needs an editor
It's consistent. Two uploads every three months
To imagine that 13 years ago, Eli was a weird goth kid who made a scary glove thing and now he’s essentially Vin Diesel making weapons of mass destruction.
to me he was a pvc archer, good ol'days :'D
remember when he went by 'nonlethal by choice'?
they grow up so fast 😭
Such a throwbackkkk
Don't call him vin diesel lmao, that insulting
@@Fendo5k I think that's what brought me here originally, too.
Oh wow that's an interesting looking sword Eli!
Is that a reference to the movie I think it is

That edit alone accounts for 3 weeks of my absence.

Nah just a helluciination
Bad sleep schedule? A little bit of rebar might do the trick.
You need more caffeine in your system, mate, hallucinations are nasty.
I’m running on 3 hours, so my guess leans towards hallucination.

I’m legitimately hurt that TH-cam didn’t reccomend this to me yesterday when it was posted but my goodness my night just got better
The editing and pacing has improved A LOT, very epic
I went on a ZNA binge yesterday. This must be fate.
Because Eli has small pac that prototype is probably small enough for a fly
that grinder he used to cut the leaf spring is actually a normal sized grinder, believe it or not
Is small pac a real disease?
@@ladygabes5558 yes most definitely

@@ladygabes5558 That's very mean to bully someone for your own ignorance. He even made a video talking about it, th-cam.com/video/SXIbHKVBHaw/w-d-xo.html.
The Oblivion music at the end was the cherry on top.
One minute in and I can tell this is gonna be incredible
been watching for 8+ years and it is honestly jawdropping to see how far you've come. from bolting sheet metal together, to forging steel. Insane
He did tell us that he could totally make a sword after all.
It's a pair of lumberjack swords.
“Well that took a little longer than expected, what’s it been a month and a half...” 😭 at this point I’m used it. Just as long as you keep makin vids it’s ok 😂. Keep up the good work bubba.

man i laughed at that joke a little too much lol
I read this ligit 2 seconds befor he said it
The Oblivion music at the end man, just lovely. Good video man, happy to see you!
I love this. 35 likes and 10 comments and its only been 1 minute. ZNA is unstoppable
@Ayato 『アヤト ニシムラ』 Ayeee brhh
So theres this guy names the urban rescue ranch, he’s got an evil bird that attacks him, perhaps y’all could do an epic colab where you build him some armor and yall can test to see if it works against Kevin the devil.
Finally, another beautiful, glorious, and fantastic zna video

Mate, you really do keep getting better. You have my respect. Stay real, inclusive and humble.

I've come to terms with 10 uploads a year max. It's okay. We still love you
What ive learned from this video is that rebar can fix all of your problems
Nice, I was just binging your old stuff while waiting for the next sword vid. Not even slightly mad that this isn't a sword vid, just happy to see an upload. I am one of them OGs from back in the nonlethalbychoice days.

You’re videos are borderline therapeutic I’ve been going through a lot lately and you’re videos always make me happy, so thank you :)
The “little bit of rebar does the trick” had me 😂
As someone who is VERY interested in smithing I appreciate you explaining what your doing to tge axe head in depth. This is why I've been subbed for so long lol
Keep it up man you're definitely my favorite TH-camr when I get a better paying job id like to be able to donate
Been on this channel for over 4 yrs now and loving to see these improvements good job Eli
"a month n a half I'll never let that happen again"
You did a great job on the editing for this video, thanks. Btw I appreciate ya turning the grinder sounds down.
I think I'm just gonna use a little bit of rebar to solve all my problems. Boss giving me shit? Sounds like something a little bit of rebar can fix
Harvest Dawn as you walked around talking about the bee was editing gold. Love the video Eli!!
2 seconds in I thought we finally broke him😂
Some of the closeup shots of Eli in an apron makes it look like a kilt, but now all I can think about is how Eli might actually be one of those few men that can somehow pull off a kilt.

YES!!! this vid was awesome! the edits were great and the background humor was on point! and when you put tape over your hoodie! XD
glad too see you back in business!
I haven't watched your videos in quite some time. I must say the video quality and the humour has risen a lot, really good:)
You manage to put some humor in a black smithing video. Freaking love this channel
This comedy is the reason you are my top pick, every video is a banger, even the body armour and food prep while out camping
When you all about that axe 🪓
Love the videos,they are some of the first ones I have watched on TH-cam that inspired me to try backyard Blade smithing just for a fun weekend project.
Bro, all your videos make me so happy. Thanks for all you do.

Stopped watching this cahnnel a while ago since the uploads didnt come so consistently. This video just came inte my recommended and i remembered that this channel is fire and that im excited to see him make more content. I hope atleast
I havent been getting your videos in my feed since the updated armour one. Honestly thought you stopped making them I'm glad to see you again Eli
Eli doesn't know how to miss. Another banger in a long line of bangers man.
dude, you definately have a talent, i love you and your content! keep up the good work and dont let life get you down^^
After All These Years glad to see you're still putting in the work man always enjoyed your builds especially the giant box cutter keep it up

The last second “that’s it subscribe, bye” killed me! Man do i enjoy your videos.

I never knew that I needed sped up footage of blacksmithing with Doom music. That might be the best thing ever invented.
Always a nice treat when Eli posts
Hell yeah man. Do what you feel is best. Forcing yourself to do a project before you are ready won't help. Still made super cool stuff as always. Stay driven.
I remember seeing this dudes pvc bow video YEARS ago and the algorithm brings me back today. Damn.
