Absolutely! I've been watching Eli for years and the excitement is still there whenever there's a new video. It doesn't matter what the video or project is and that's kind of the beauty in it. Eli, whatever you share with us, we will watch. Even if there are long gaps in videos being released, I can say that all of us fans will still be here to watch whatever you post, whenever you post it. In other words, do things on your schedule and don't feel super obligated to release new stuff just for us who watch it. We're with you until the end of time. Your videos are just wonderful as is your personality. You are very appreciated!
The music always gets to me. Even though it's Royalty Free, you make it iconic, just as much as you did with the Rei Brown tracks from a couple years ago.
@@ZNA_Productions crazy how much you've learned these last few years, enjoy the heck outa every vid. Hope the anti clause doesn't create too much hassle this year
The fact that you can mount it on the table and swivel it now looks incredibly rad. The ballista is turning out to be my favorite of your builds I think.
Is it only me, or is it really great to finally see him enjoying himself again? This channel is one of the reasons I got into making things so its awesome that you're back doing things that actually interest you.
Hey man I’ve been watching you for years and I just want to say that you are an amazing UA-camr who always manages to make me smile even if I’m in a bad mood. I know sometimes it might feel like you are just churning out videos simply to survive but I promise you that you’ve made much more of an impact on people than you might realize. Thank you for managing to entertain and inspire so many people at the same time. Keep up the good work brother. Love ya
I'm so glad that, despite the struggle, this incredibly small man continues to make videos. All jokes aside this has been one of my favorite channels for the longest, good to see such consistent increase in quality every time I see a new video
It's no small feat for this incredibly tiny, short little gnome man to be able to pull that ballista back that far, even with the ratchet. Say what you will about his downright diminutive stature, but you can't say Eli isn't swole as heck
I really appreciate your work. You weren’t the first person on UA-cam I saw making weapons and such, but you are one of two who I’ve been watching for almost 10 years. Keep up the good work, and may the Jesus apocalypse be the only one we have to deal with.
This channel never fails to put a smile on my face. Between your unwavering charisma, the ingenious creativity, and the hilarious editing, you've got an unbeatable formula. Love what you do Eli, God bless.
I'm so happy to see you build the ballista I know you've been wanting to craft one of these for a while and seeing you smile that wide bro definitely worth the wait!!!!!
Without a doubt, I get more joy from your videos than almost any other channel on UA-cam. You are the ONLY person on YT for whom I have the notifications turned on. God bless you ZNA.
Seeing you finally do what you really want to do and being happy again is inspiring. I’ve watched you since the parkour days and seeing you take off is well deserved. All love ❤
Been following your channel since about 2015 and this has been one of my favorite series' yet! I love seeing both your build quality and video style evolve and improve with each project. Keep up the great work Eli!
Neat, as always it's nice to see a video done where the person is learning how to do the thing for the first time and adapting over time. Makes it seem more accessible as a hoby.
When I was 13, my dad and I made a crossbow. We took a Jenga set, carved one edge off all the blocks and glued them to a 2x4 in 2 rows to make the groove for the arrow. And you used 2 2x6’s and a 2x4, plus a lot less work, outstanding move
All I'm saying is that you have to get Jeorg in on this bro, he's got this type shit down and would probably just beam at it lol. Always love the work at ZNA!
I have noticed something, i rarely get kind of excited when i see a new video from someone, but ZNA is an exception, even after all these years. From homemade weapons videos to a ballista I have been doing this - 1. see notification 2. get excited 3. check when i have free time 4. make good food 5. sit down and enjoy the vid with food 6. repeat Incase I didint make it clear, I love your videos ZNA, from the old house to the new I loved your content, keep it up lad!
Glad to see some consistent uploads!! Don’t get discouraged if the views aren’t what you want them to be. They’ll get much higher with the constant vids. Love the content man!
Today I heard the word “cringe” in my head but with a very specific tone and it reminded me of this channel because of how this guy says it and remembered how good this channel is
Bro ur videos are amazing not just for the build but from the learning process it’s therapeutic because I go through the same thing when I build projects
Even if you screwed into the flats of that angle iron and not in the bend…you could have just countersunk the holes in the angle iron with a countersinking bit, so the screws would sit flush. Your option was the simplest approach which is usually best. Edit: Later in the video you countersunk them like I mentioned, but I’m still gunna leave my comment here lol good work!
zna, i found your channel when i was young, and you were too. i’m an adult now, and it’s weird and i’m struggling with it. you seem so well put together, and just like when i was a kid, i find myself today trying to be a little more like you. thanks for all that you do man, i’ll always appreciate your videos.
Your rendition of massive string stops is going to truly be something to behold. Something fancy? Just a couple of rods pegged into the braces? Carefully over engineered doo-hickies? Just wing it? Complete rebuild? Nobody knows. But I'm most interested in how you are going to build the release trigger. I'm betting a gate latch.
Ive been watching through all the old videos on the channel recently and I just want to point out how much the editing has improved. This video was really fun to watch with all the goofs and gags (not sus) throughout it
I'm so glad you started uploading again! Been watching since I was 14/15 (3/4 years) and it's been a pleasure watching your vids the entire time. Never change a thing, you're awesome man!
Great video, Eli! I always love your videos, especially when I can tell you enjoy making them! If you’ll excuse me, I need to drop a few more comments to feed the algorithm.
I can’t ever really express how excited I get when I see ZNA uploads in my notifications!!
Me too 😭😭
PRIMAL EXCITEMENT

The only notification I end up planning my day around
@@Methbilly damn i think u right
Seeing those bolts absolutely schmoovin like that is terrifying and beautiful all at the same time.
Definitely one of my favorite builds
I'm absolutely digging this series, that ballista is an absolute beast
"Yung Ballista"
The music always gets to me. Even though it's Royalty Free, you make it iconic, just as much as you did with the Rei Brown tracks from a couple years ago.
I do miss the Rei Brown tracks but his new music is still dope
@@Astoundinhades Copyright got me crying
Eli, your editing, humor, and craftsmanship combine into a unique dumpster fire of awesomeness.
the amount of joy in this man's face when he fires that ballista. Truly beautiful to watch
Phenomenal. Seeing this thing come together has been awesome. Keep up the good work Eli!
Thanks a ton!

This is still the only UA-camr that I willing watch ads for. This is probably one of the coolest guys in the world

thoroughly enjoying seeing the love being put into this frickin ballista, so epic‼️‼️‼️
it has been a long way but we are here! 2023 and a brand new balista vid from ZNA. Love this and can not wait for next one
WHY WASN'T THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED UA-cam, 4 days have pasted without me watching this masterpiece.
This channel never fails to put a smile on my face. Between your unwavering charisma, the ingenious creativity, and the hilarious editing, you've got an unbeatable formula. Love what you do Eli, God bless.
I'm so happy to see you build the ballista I know you've been wanting to craft one of these for a while and seeing you smile that wide bro definitely worth the wait!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic, the best picnic table ballista I've ever seen.
This is feeling like classic zna productions, like watching the channel 6 years ago. And it's fantastic.
It's great to see genuine excitement on your face!
it only just hit me that I've been subscribed for 7 years. oh, the ups and downs. glad to see you on the up again.
Glad your having fun with this project!
I am LOVING this Eli keep up the good work, your truly the GOAT 🐐
Fantastic video Eli! Looking forward to the upcoming upgrades to the ballista!!!
I absolutely love you videos. Been watching for a few years now and I wish there was more. Your editing and humor is the best.
every time ZNA uploads, America wins.
Absolutely glad to see you enjoying this build so much, I do too!
seeing the thought process and improvements along the way really adds to the series thanks for sharing bro
I’m loving that you’re back.
Without a doubt, I get more joy from your videos than almost any other channel on UA-cam.
You are the ONLY person on YT for whom I have the notifications turned on.
God bless you ZNA.
Loving to see how this is coming along. Keep up the good work man.
Seeing you finally do what you really want to do and being happy again is inspiring. I’ve watched you since the parkour days and seeing you take off is well deserved. All love ❤

1:19
Goofy stuff like this is why I love this channel so much. I click to see cool guy make cool thing and get laughs out of it at the same time.
Neat, as always it's nice to see a video done where the person is learning how to do the thing for the first time and adapting over time. Makes it seem more accessible as a hoby.
Seeing you back on track is truly heartwarming. Keep it up, my brother in Christ. Always a pleasure to watch you work.
Love seeing you work out and optimize something big like this long term!
that goddamn edit at 5:30 was so beautiful I had to rewind and watch it again cuz I wasn't sure if it was real.
I forget how high quality these vids are every time.
When I was 13, my dad and I made a crossbow. We took a Jenga set, carved one edge off all the blocks and glued them to a 2x4 in 2 rows to make the groove for the arrow. And you used 2 2x6’s and a 2x4, plus a lot less work, outstanding move
All I'm saying is that you have to get Jeorg in on this bro, he's got this type shit down and would probably just beam at it lol. Always love the work at ZNA!
I have noticed something, i rarely get kind of excited when i see a new video from someone, but ZNA is an exception, even after all these years. From homemade weapons videos to a ballista I have been doing this -
1. see notification
2. get excited
3. check when i have free time
4. make good food
5. sit down and enjoy the vid with food
6. repeat
Incase I didint make it clear, I love your videos ZNA, from the old house to the new I loved your content, keep it up lad!
honestly just over the moon excited hes having fun again.
makes me smile
It’s so great seeing how excited Eli is for this project
"then the Ballista commits sudoku"
my grandma as committed to sudoku as well. she was a newpaper sudoku connoisseur.
Been watching your channel for year now, still watch all the new uploads. Love the videos man
Glad to see some consistent uploads!! Don’t get discouraged if the views aren’t what you want them to be. They’ll get much higher with the constant vids. Love the content man!

gosh dang nothing is more fun than seeing an episode of this fresh in my feed
your builds are the best man
In all these years you finally built something I dont want to stand infront of! Great Work 👍
Looking great!
Today I heard the word “cringe” in my head but with a very specific tone and it reminded me of this channel because of how this guy says it and remembered how good this channel is
This is a absolute beast of a build, I love the design process too
Love seeing a happy Eli :)
loving this series man, the ballistable is hecking awesome
The you died reference makes me so happy
That “very exciting” transition was so smooth n sexy lol
Love the vids Eli
Same I missed the premier. #KeepFighting.
Bro ur videos are amazing not just for the build but from the learning process it’s therapeutic because I go through the same thing when I build projects
This has been an epic journey and learning experience so far.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Lots has been absorbed 🧠🧠 see ya soon!
I'm glad it looks like you are having fun with this one. We love to see it
Eli you are like the big bro i never had and always wanted. Legend
Incredible as usual, Eli!
Glad to see you back and doing good 🤙
Even if you screwed into the flats of that angle iron and not in the bend…you could have just countersunk the holes in the angle iron with a countersinking bit, so the screws would sit flush. Your option was the simplest approach which is usually best.
Edit: Later in the video you countersunk them like I mentioned, but I’m still gunna leave my comment here lol good work!
Editing has been superb. Content is much better when you're passionate about the project. Thanks for thw free content, Eli.
zna, i found your channel when i was young, and you were too. i’m an adult now, and it’s weird and i’m struggling with it. you seem so well put together, and just like when i was a kid, i find myself today trying to be a little more like you. thanks for all that you do man, i’ll always appreciate your videos.
This is lovely and I love it
Heck Yeah man! Cant wait for barista 4
Your rendition of massive string stops is going to truly be something to behold.
Something fancy? Just a couple of rods pegged into the braces? Carefully over engineered doo-hickies? Just wing it? Complete rebuild?
Nobody knows.
But I'm most interested in how you are going to build the release trigger.
I'm betting a gate latch.
Ive been watching through all the old videos on the channel recently and I just want to point out how much the editing has improved. This video was really fun to watch with all the goofs and gags (not sus) throughout it
I'm so glad you started uploading again! Been watching since I was 14/15 (3/4 years) and it's been a pleasure watching your vids the entire time. Never change a thing, you're awesome man!
Seeing you throw up a ZNA video anytime always gets me psyched to see what your doing!! Ballista is looking amazing!!
Great video, Eli! I always love your videos, especially when I can tell you enjoy making them! If you’ll excuse me, I need to drop a few more comments to feed the algorithm.
That editing tho 👌 chefs 💋 😘
Yessss, progress and good vibes! can't wait to see the next chapter in this epic build series!
Man now I want a ballista
Im liking the part format and you seem happy to be working on projects again!
love the strung spaghetti shooting the things, I can't wait for more!
Love this series great job man
I still remember your First PVC Pipe Bow and now a Ballista 💪 your vids are entertaining as hell
Guess you could say I bolted to this video as soon as I got the notification
You have inspired me to create my own PVC weaponry. I have plans on a PVC crossbow and I have compleated a PVC longbow. Keep it up, my guy!
Rip foam target, you have served us well 🙏
