Dang I bought a knife and payed extra to make the total $420.69 but Eli didn’t mention me :(. Oh well I’m still glad I was able to support the channel.
Sorry bro, these were a specific few knives that I advertised as being to sponsor the next video. It's nothing personal. I do really appreciate the support.
I am one of those nutjobs who actually loved the "odd jobs" series you did and still to this day sometimes I go back and watch them. So this video is just perfect for me 10/10 probably will watch again.

I know that I'm echoing a lot of people, but I still feel the need to say that I will watch basically anything you want to make. I watch your videos mostly for you (although the builds are still cool). Furthermore, I enjoy your videos most when you are clearly enjoying the project yourself.
Just do what you want, we're just here with you on the way. Id rather watch you do something that intrests you then watch you burnout on something you dont want to
Dude there's thousands of sword builds out there but only one Eli. It's sadly common for youtubers to get burned out just trying to meet their viewers expectations, just make content that you genuinely enjoy making cuh
I agree. I guess we can be a little selfish when were dying for our YT fix 😂 his videos probably take 10x more time and effort than a standard "quick and easy" video Edit: I say probably and realize he literally bangs the crap out of hot metal for hours. No "probably" neccessary.
"Now, I don't even know if this is going to work, Ive never tried this before. I don't really see why it wouldn't but i never really do until it doesn't. So lets give it a shot" My favorite quote.
I'm with the comments, do some early TH-cam 2-3 day builds like you did before as burnout prevention and we get some nostalgia with new cool apocalypse like weapons. But that's just my take. You decide what you do. Sword's coming along nicely tho.
I don't even work out but I was still interested in the dip belt portion of the video. You make amazing videos Eli and your editing is amazing, keep up the amazing work.
I watched a ton as a kid when swords and armor were the coolest things imaginable but as a adult now, this is the first video of yours that I've watched in months. Something about an everyday useful item like a weight belt is more entertaining than a sword. a return to the odd ball series would be fun.
I wonder how good/bad of an idea it is for you to jump between projects to prevent yourself from getting burnt out and to have some more variety from video to video, just a thought :)
I'll be real, I've seen a TON of swords get made, but this is the first Dip-belt I've watched get worked on. Feel free to do more oddjobs, they're just as fun.
I could watch anything this guy posts. He could show us how to make wood and just film himself going to mernards and buying it and I would still give a thumbs up. Just a great, funny guy
The world would be a better place if more people took the time to repair things. Fine craftsmanship, keep honing your talents and curiosity into invaluable skills because the world needs them. Also flushable wipes are the way to go, shower fresh every time. As I had it explained to me when I was a very young man "do you wipe maple syrup off your arm with a dry paper towel or a wash rag?". Words of wisdom passed down to me about 20 years ago.
Honestly, as much as I love all the builds, I just stick around for the comedy. I genuinely do not believe there is a TH-cam whose humor is so goddamn dry but so goddamn funny. (Maybe Studson Studios)
Not a single video you have posted has missed its mark. Every time I watch a video by you its the best thing I watch that day. Keep up the amazing content man!
Crazy timing, I get bored at work and usually once a month or every other month and binge watch your videos, this time when I got home you uploaded out of nowhere! Keep up the great work Eli
Honestly, I like pretty much anything ya squeeze out for TH-cam. I find your jokes and editing enjoyable and don't care as much for what you could be building for the vid. Keep up the good work Eli
Eli, we would even watch you bake bread; we just love hearing your lovely humor and seeing you make cool stuff. Make the projects that inspire you brother!
It's not necessarily the awesome things that you make that keeps me coming back to your videos. I feel the reason that I watch you the most is because of the way you present yourself and your builds and they're just so entertaining to watch.
Can we all agree that we rather see Eli working on projects he is interested in instead of a complete project he has no interest in. I've been watching since I was in high school and i still always look forward to new vids even if its non-weapon. I hope you can share what makes you happy Eli!
I dont think ive ever been disappointed in a single one of your videos. I love them all, youre humor is some of the very best on youtube. I am immeasurably glad that youre still dishing out content after all these years man, youre a hecking beast. I hope you are doing great and continue to do so!
Watching you since 13 years now. (man i got old) and i really have to say its amazing to see how you just keep doing your thing and how you changed over the years but still managed to keep your style of making videos. An honest i have to honestly thank you for all these years of nice content.
I never thought I would say this, but I am glad to see you have adds on this video. You have been, and probably always will be, my favorite TH-camr. Keep the content coming, Eli!
So hopefully you see this. 1. I've said it before, but the amount of work you put into these videos definitely shows. And it's great. 2. Your sense of humor makes these so entertaining to watch. 3. Looking peeled out of your tree, bro.
We enjoy the creator as much as the content. I personally think as long as you are making it, no one will care what you are making. Just keep making interesting things
Honestly, This is without a doubt my favorite TH-cam Channel. Eli, you're a GigaChad, my guy. Love watching you work, and the editing is superb. You're the bomb (no homo) keep putting out quality vids, dude.
You could literally stick two Lego bricks together for a 30 min video with your usual commentary and build montages and I’d watch probably more than once. What you build doesn’t make a difference, you can build WHATEVER you want. We will watch and WE are your true fans. 🙏🏻
If you plan on using the belt for a long time, you might want to fold a maybe one inch wide strip of leather over its outer edges before you put the seam down. It prevents the lining leather from lifting and curling from the edge under continued use, as well as reducing chafing.

You should put this in the description so the timestamps show up on the video timeline
Have you considered collating with Man at Arms or any other forgers?

My favorite quote.
My guy, I don't care what you're working on. I'm just glad to see ya.
exactly, seeing eli upload for the last 4 almost 5 years and seeing his improvement and personal change is great to see
I usually don't even bother with the rag when sealing leather, just take a nob of the wax from the jar and smear it all around with a gloved hand :D
Honestly, I could watch eli build literally anything and be satisfied
He’s really moving up in the world, he hired one of Gordon Ramsey’s sound editors
"dont look, they're not a sponsor" like anyone would want a dip belt made with cheap rivets and d-rings
"Stolen dip belt restoration" was a phrase I had never assumed I would ever read in my 24 years of life, thank you for changing that lmao
I'm with the comments, do some early TH-cam 2-3 day builds like you did before as burnout prevention and we get some nostalgia with new cool apocalypse like weapons.

Hearing that "just kidding - big back story" gave me such happy broscience vibes that I needed to comment my appreciation. Good stuff.
HE'S BACK! PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION 🙏🇺🇲
ammo's too expensive rn bro, sorry
We know it won’t be any steel Russian ak ammo
Sword, yes. Enjoyment is coursing through my genetically modified veins.
I wonder how good/bad of an idea it is for you to jump between projects to prevent yourself from getting burnt out and to have some more variety from video to video, just a thought :)
*stares at all of my unfinished projects*
hmmm yeah, definitely need a new one and I'll revisit the others I promise
Finally. The king of TH-cam has returned!!!!!
I'll be real, I've seen a TON of swords get made, but this is the first Dip-belt I've watched get worked on. Feel free to do more oddjobs, they're just as fun.
This video had plenty of color and movement! Thank you!

Oh crap he's back
thanks for the vid Eli!
I'm not bald! I'm just burnished!
definetly glad see more leather working from you, great work
I like how he just doxed the people that bought his knifes
doxed is if he dropped their address and email brother, i bet they agreed to it

You genuinely seem happy doing these videos I'm glad you're feeling it Eli keep it rolling ya dry humor master
The "in my brain" edits were hilarious, take a like my good man. And keep those screwdrivers out of your ears while you're at it.
Caught by surprise by the Xavier renegade angel music
I love your humor and editing, I will watch anything you post on TH-cam purely because you make me laugh. 11/10 content bro, keep it up
Eli's humor really reminds me of early Eric Andre stuff.
Our bald body building bespoke builder has returned 🙏🏼
Back baby! Better!
Babe wake up, ZNA posted
I like seeing you do stuff you enjoy, not what the comments request. That’s where the true passion and creativity comes out
YESSSSSS
Crazy timing, I get bored at work and usually once a month or every other month and binge watch your videos, this time when I got home you uploaded out of nowhere! Keep up the great work Eli
When are you going to make armor for your cat
Just came to check in and see how you’re doing, I’ll never forget the metal throwing squares. God bless brother
Loving how you expand your skill sets, enjoying the leather work. You're still an inspiration, keep building.
Great fun! Love asides like this. Keep on doing as you do; it's what we're here to see.
Your videos have something to them, that just makes one feel at home.
I'm never going to build a dip belt, but this is certainly the most enthralling content regarding a dip belt that I've ever seen.
Love how he is dead serious about the sponsors. That's how you know they stand up people.
Amazing job. Always interesting to watch you builds.
I haven't super watched many of your vids lately, but you popped back into my feed and I really enjoyed this vid! It WAS to my tastes, so thanks!
That fart at the end got me a good chuckle.
Love the colours and movement!
Honestly, I like pretty much anything ya squeeze out for TH-cam. I find your jokes and editing enjoyable and don't care as much for what you could be building for the vid. Keep up the good work Eli
Great video! Loved all the colors and movement.

It’s never been about the sword lol. Just watching your videos and your humor is all we need!
Wow, you are a genuine encouragement to keep going and keep improving in all things
Honestly I enjoyed the belt stuff more than the sword! You're really killing it in leatherworking, Eli.
Eli’s uploads make my day, no other TH-camr makes me feel this way. :)
Dang man, I gotta say I love your videos for your great humor, cool builds and consistently great music. Keep it up man
Remember that time a spear build video turned into Eli building a lathe?
One of my favorite videos. Do what makes you happy, we'll be here to observe.
Been watching this since your days of ridiculousness with tasers, nice to watch the evolution of you and your channel
i dont care what videos it is, as long as its you in your usual self the video brings a smile to my face

2 minutes of sword build... yay!
