Armour made of shovels? +10 dirt resistance :)
Hell yeah.
Gotta watch out for the Sandman, slingin' dirt around like it's the best thing since sliced bread.
IT IS!! lol
yo dawg, that's some pretty cool armour... I dig it
Harley Quinn These puns are dirty business.
Your sense of humor cracks me up.
Trevor B. mikes since.
If you ever make a full set of armor out of shovels, can you please call it "The Literal Shovel Knight?"
+FluffyHellHound this comment needs more likes
+Kaplex Mania I see you listen to blackveilbrides
why yes, yes i do
Literally just dropped $35 on 150 big rivets and washers because of you.
Good investment tho, so I r8 8/8
DaedalusProps lol I r8 8/8
uwot, go to a fastener supply shop, buy them bad boys for 5 cents each
rivets are cool
Get well soon, Uriel.
Seriously man I just moved into a new house and the garage is all for me. Really gonna start building some of the things I've watched you build for so long. You inspired me man.
Get well soon Uriel
#prayforuriel
BK Gaming A garage to yourself really is a beautiful thing, huh? lol. Especially for me after the last few years of my channel have been filmed in my old 6'x8' workshop.
ZednoughtAlpha yea man its a great feeling. Now I gotta buy some new equipment haha. Builds coming soon!
Lucky! I would make an arcade if I had a garage all to my self
Kevin Michael the reason your channel is dead is because you record vertical and I hope you build things too and you should record it
Kevin Michael i
I'm taking a break tonight while filming the new season of "Man at Arms".
Great to see you keeping at it, it does get easier as your experience grows.
Hey fancy seeing you here. I always get excited every time I see your videos. Y'all go a great job making the weapons
Lov tour channel man
Someone emailed me this channel. Im liking this guy and the problem solving!
Can't believe I never saw this before.
Super cool.
Hope you get better, Uriel. Keep on going.
Get well soon uriel!!!
Get well soon urinal oh wait Uriel sorry autocorrect I'll leave it anyway because it's kinda funny sorry Uriel
Hope you get better Uriel
ok the first thing that popped into my head was Shovel Knight
Daniel Borgers same
*Notification on my phone pops up saying you uploaded a video*
*Drops everything and literally dives to the computer*
Same
I did the exact same xD
I can relate so hard to that😅
I had to finish a game of dbz... THEN I dived to the computer
#relatable
"That looks like a puppy who just ate a lemon"
I died when u said that
Same hehe
RIP in peace
+noneed4sleep64 ? rest in peace, in peace?
+Walter Morgenroth Yep
Get better, Uriel! Come home safe. Praying for you. stay strong brother.
Eli I hate how people criticizes you and make a big deal out of something that they dislike about your video. You worked almost every day to 12 am just so you can entertain us. Thank you. I hate how those people aren't great full for everything you do for us. I am sorry that this happens. We thank you for doing that, know that every one who likes your videos and is part of your wonderful community, loves you and has your back. We know that basic needs come first and you cant waste money every two seconds. Thank you so much.
I love the channel on the "plate" that redirects rounds right into your head lol. Funny stuff guys. Good work.
Nice job.
I made a buckler out of a wok last week.
tetsubo57 that my friend, is fucking ingenious.
bob mcbacon Thank you. There are pictures on my DeviantArt page, it is Ironstaff.
The fucks a buckler.
Robert Curtis A small, one handed shield.
Robert Curtis this is why google was invented
I hope Uriel got better, he's a great guy.

Nice build. I have to admit, I am always disappointed that you don't really show the build, just the finished pieces. I wish you would show more of the journey.
Mads Rasmussen 2:27 - 9:57 is the build.
ZednoughtAlpha Haha, well yes. My point is that you tend to describe what you are going to do to a piece and then jump cut to after you have done it. Not always but it happens a lot.
Mads Rasmussen Oh ok. I'll do more time lapse and working jump cuts stuff in the future.
Mads Rasmussen personally i like how he kind of jumps around, it keeps the videos moving at a decent pace
Dear god, this was hilarious. I love the funky-annotation thing. And your humor is so beautifully deadpan. Great build, as well.
Nice work, looks like itll be a fun build.
Hope your buddy gets to feel'n better.
Not get some sleep......seriously, it catches up to you around 25.
Can we shape our shoulder armour to our likeing or will it ruin the tempering in the steel?
Jose Angel Garza Only if you heat it up to shape it, then yes it would need to be retempered.
+ZNA Productions get well soon, Uriel
Get Well Soon Uriel
I had to subscribe just for that intro
Thank you for this video, I actually did make shovel shoulder armor after watching this, grabbed two flat shovels for like 2-3$ each (8.50 onionlions in my curency) and (cold) hammered them so they don't look like shovels anymore, but proper armor. Never would think that some tools are such excellent source of steel. To be fair, I started building my fantasy metallurgist/blacksmith armor under the influence of your videos and it turned out pretty damn fookin great. So I wanted to say that you are great at motivating people to do what they always wanted to do and I am very grateful for what your vids did to me.
PS.: Get well soon Uriel
Love what you are doing man, keep up the excellent work, and the resolution to get more rest is great, keep that up as well!Get well soon Uriel!
Get well soon, Uriel!
get well soon uriel
Get well soon, Uriel
Just saying love the format of these videos, showing the finished product first then the build. Good way to keep the audience interested! Good work my man!!
I've just discovered your videos, and have been binge watching them. I really appreciate your creativity and think you are a nice guy.
Get Well Soon Uriel!!!
Get well soon uriel
thx for the vid, made me realize that i could easily make t-45 pauldrons out of shovels.
Zednought Alpha I just have to say I've been watching your videos since the very beginning I haven't subscribed for a while, but I think your videos are awesome you really shouldn't stop, I don't know how people ever started hating on your videos, just know me and my friends think your Genius. Keep up the good shiz .
I heard, "you really nailed that one" then i subbed, Dude has charisma. lmao
Get well soon uirel
get well soon, uriel even though it's 2017
Get well soon urile
Wow. Awesome. I could see a whole suit made from the shovels. Use the flat shovels as well. Very cool. Oh and get well soon Uriel.
I'm not gonna lie, new to the channel but that intro made me laugh out loud so hard. Dig your work man. I've enjoyed every video I've watched so far. Keep on creating epic stuff man!
Hey Eli, I'm Daniel, I would like to know how to make a grim reaper-esque scythe. Not sure if it's even possible, but it seems like the kind of thing you would do.
***** actually a scythe if used properly is a great weapon you can trip your opponent and cut their Achilles tendon all in one motion, you can hook shields and pull them away, you can get to your opponents back from a downward slash if your close enough...etc very useful if you know what your doing
Maybe one in the same style as the tomahawk or the hammers.
Isaias Olivares look up "kama"
its a type of weapon-ised scythe
bob mcbacon look up Kama weapon. just kama comes up with some disturbing nsfw images as well.
you have been warned.
bob mcbacon A kama is more like an ice pick than a scythe but I know what you mean
Get well Uriel :)
How is Uriel doing now?
Your videos are sick I don't really even watch them to build what's in the videos I watch them more to get inspiration to build my own stuff I only have like a couple of videos on TH-cam of some crossbows I made but videos like this where what made me want to start building my own stuff thank you for making videos like this man you're awesome
Eli, I think you'd really get a lot of amazing use out of an English wheel, I haven't done much work with one myself, but i know its amazing for getting smooth curves in metal.. you know, for rounding shoulder pieces and whatnot. they put me to sleep using one, but the use of them is wildly versatile! Love the videos, love your work!
P.S. What do you use for lung protection?
i bet the shovel can hold a 22 bullet ,but nothing more
I would say so also, If he double plated it, it might be able to withstand a .25 Caliber pistol round but it wouldnt be likely
robert dalsbo 25acp has less power than a 22lr.
There is no chance that would stop a .22
Anthony Jackson 22 caliber is actually very weak of a round hardened tempered steel at that thickness should be strong enough to stop a 22 short
No it's really not. I've seen 22 caliber pierce tempered steel before. Shooting on a farm.
I love your channel and your dedication to armor crafting, but your health comes first. I was in the same spot you are now, I was 20 and thought I could do what ever..whenever. my job was very physical and demanding but I was young so I push myself to do more and be better than my co-works, you know for bragging rights. Now I'm 40 and I can barely stand, I've had knee replacement, back surgery, arthritis in both hands, suffer from chronic migraines and insomnia. Your young bro. Slow it down some, take care of you. This way you'll be around longer to make more awesome vids.
Steampunk_BATz Exactly. Glad everyone seems to understand, thanks for your support.
Fuck, dude. I remember when you only had 10k subs. Back when you used to talk in your car haha
Huh, that's very clever making pauldrons from a shovelpiece, i'm very impressed!
I hope you feel better Uriel!
New subscriber... I really like the way you make your videos! I love your creed about not giving drawings or plans to promote creativity... I like the way you explain what you did and why you did it that way, and you even sometimes offer alternatives... you are very creative/talented! I'm not really a fan of the rivets, but hand made rivets, like your nail rivets, take much longer so I understand; although, the cutting and flatening of the rivets is a nice idea, not sure what durability is lost though... also, I watched several videos last night and could really see that you've learned a lot very quickly, but one thing I've noticed is that occasionally you'll rivet a strap outside of an armor plate at a hinge point, and this often just seems like an oversight. I realize, due to the thickness of your materials, that this is prop/cosplay armor, but having the straps so exposed leaves you with armor that is easily cut off... just an observation... I hope you find relief from your late nights, I have found no solution to my own... Keep up the good work!
If leather replaced the nylon that would increase durability. free idea share.
Andrew C Ya know, a lot of people think that. I'd assume it's because leather is more expensive, they assume it's stronger. But you're really just paying for labor and style. Nylon straps however are much more affordable, and MUCH stronger. Even the cheapest straps are usually rated for upwards of 600lbs, a couple more bucks and you're looking at thousands of pounds. Leather is great, but Nylon webbing is superior in terms of cost and strength.
Great point!
ZednoughtAlpha hope you get to read this but, could you show more of the actual process instead of showing the finished pieces, I'd really like to know how you do the actual bending and cutting and stuff. that would be helpful and even more awesome then your vids already are. Oh and get well uriel
Also the nylon won't shrink if it gets wet and requires less servicing like oiling it so it doesn't crack and such
Andrew C that's why I get as many seat belts from the scrapyard
how do you spell your last name ?

Huh, so there's a website completely dedicated to selling the versatile plastic buckle. Welp, I guess I know what I'm doing for the next five minutes :|
Get well soon Uriel. Love your movies Zednought, def an outside the box thinker.
Keep up the building you make some pretty cool armor and weapons you inspire me to be creative with my armor and weapon crafting
Get better soon Uriel. Keep fighting and never give up.
I like the dubstep in the background, and... YES
I realy love your videos man. I hope your channel grows alot more, you deserve it.
Good luck, Uriel. :)
Eli don't let us control your life, do what YOU think is right. Hope you feel better as well as Uriel.
Get well soon, Uriel. We're praying for you!
get well soon, Uriel. hope we get to see more of you soon!!
Btw bro I just found your channel and it is so freaking awesome I love the content of your videos and your humor is so hilarious it is really a pleasure to watch your videos thank you!!!!!!
dude Eli, your content is amazing no matter what, you work to hard bro, your wellness should come first, keep doing you bro you're awesome
funny and relevant monologue intro, useful information, well thought out resolution, 8/10 .post the fail video you mentioned so that we can learn what doesn't work and waste time trying it ourselves for a solid 9/10
Get well soon, Uriel. Nice build like normal. Keep them going.
The intro was golden.
I once made spaulders out of knee pads I was and still am very proud of them
Awesome idea,mine was to put shovel on helmet to act as visor.
Get well soon Uriel! I'm praying for you. Eli you are a good guy, God bless
Get well soon Uriel, love and prayers from ATL
I can't wait till the build is finished! Btw get well soon Uriel.
Great build, I keep thinking it would be cool to layer a bunch of flex seal on the underside. Or all over. But you know, full the impact further
I love your sense of humor.
Eli as cool as you content is don't overwork yourself man I'd love to see a vid every day but just work to what you can do
Get Well Soon Uriel! Praying for you man.
love your videos. you seem like you are a down to earth kind of guy. keep up the good work.
not sure if it's too late but I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos man!!! get well soon uriel. and keep making these vids dude! you inspired me to make a full armor suit as well.
Okay, I think I may have found one of my new favorite channels on TH-cam... You should try to make a helmet that's like a cross between something straight out of Mad Max combined with Loki's helmet. I think that would look really neat. I admire your work keep it up! Get well soon Uriel!
Get well soon Uriel. Brilliant video.
Get well soon Uriel, we all love you
I made a cool helmet out of paint can lids, cushioning for the inside and a velcro strap to keep it on.
Get well soon, Uriel,love your job
"looks like a puppy that just ate a lemon." That killed me XD
Get well Uriel! Friendship is a huge asset for both parties involved. Thanks ZNA! I like that road warrior style. Check out the original Mad Max movies, if you have not already. Cool stuff
That intro earned you a subscribe.
Get well soon Uriel, the world needs you.
The beginning was good enough already
HOLY SHIT!! This channel is already over 800k? When did this happen?! Damn, I should have paid more attention.
Get well soon, Uriel. I hope you feel better soon.
I hope you get better soon Uriel!
get well soon uriel, keeping you in my prayers
You might enjoy using the blue Walmart camp pad as your armor liner for future projects. You get a lot for $8 I believe, it's thicker and it's popular amongst foam fighters (like belegarth) for armor lining
"you should subscribe cause i care about people with ocd" thats the reason i subscribed.thats the one!
haha I love his little comments
+Tristen Benavidez I have ocd and finally someone cares! Although I already subbed...
Could you do a video showing your whole armor now? spaulders, bracers, chest piece .... Good build man!
Get well Uriel, prayers for you
Great video man, really resourceful.
Dude your videos are awesome, keep doing what you are. You are great
i hope you get well soon uriel, im praying for you
LOL loved the intro, perfectly said.
Dude you make some wicked stuffs.
Damn I wish I was good at making gear like you keep the good job
