Or hey man if you wanna support me on Patreon that's sick too:

Today we're making a shield that's designed specifically for bashing/punching. It also happens to be very handsome so that's not bad.

Big thanks to the guy who pointed out I typoed the link to the T-shirt page, the link in the description has been fixed. If any of you bought a shirt to support me, please check to make sure you'rte buying a ZNA shirt and not the unrelated one with the "A" and the lion. Sorry for the mixup.
ZNA Productions thanks
No problem, glad it's fixed
Hey I was wondering two things:
-Are you gonna do a fan meet up any time soon?
-Would you want to do a challenge video where you make something with nails instead of screw?
ZNA Productions I got one of the sweatshirts off the website, I love it man and I love what you do. I want to make his shied so bad right now!!
if i had money id buy all your merch and weapons n tools n everything from you
I couldn't figure out what the black stuff coming out of the wood was when he was drilling for the handle. Then I realized it was probably polypropylene.
Probably polypropylene.
Probably polypropylene
Isaac Houston you sure? Maybe it's maybelline?
I think it's actually leaches.
"leeches"
I do find it pretty distracting when I get hit with an axe
James Armstrong this comment made my day
😂😂😂 this actually made me laugh
Thank you,you actually made me laugh
I felt the same way in high school in the locker room. So many teenagers spraying axe in there was a visible cloud of it.
Genius
Also you’ve effectively made a Kite Shield. Not an aggressive jab, Kite Shields are rad, just pointing it out
That is, in all honesty, the tiniest, least useful kite shield I’ve ever seen then. Good shield, it works and it’s smart, but like, a kite shield is supposed to be waaaaay bigger, and gripped much differently. Kite shields are meant to cover lots of the body, without the weight of “tower” shields. This is a little baby kite shield. Works more like an oddly shaped heater shield if you ask me
loaf Bread this shield would be a weapon that’s the point. Using the shield as a weapon was his point.
loaf Bread it seems like. The point of this shield is to extend the punch while adding weight and power. While still being able to defend axes and swords.
@@the_worst_of_friends924 I know, all I'm saying is if it was a kite shield, It'd be much larger, with more body coverage, and meant specifically to take hits while you use a separate weapon. This is more of a brawler weapon, which can act as a fairly good blocking method as well

"You notice a bit of a difference"
Just a small one. A tiny. imperceptible, immense difference.
Maybe he was born with it...
Maybe it's polypropeline
Cameron C. nice
Damnnnn
It is *probably* *propylene*
That needs to be on a shirt
Maybe it's Maybelline.
"Today I'm going to take this buckler, and convert it into a slightly larger buckler."

Oh that looks awesome, dude I wanna take a crack at this!
[See all tools needed and precision measurements required]
Wonder where I can buy one...
@@lestatstaton7856 dang they just straight up yoinked his idea
@@booty_hunter4207 I yoinked it, with permission, because he doesn't sell his stuff. I really wanted one for me and after buying all the tools to make mine, comments were full of people saying they would love to buy one. Lies, cuz I haven't sold a one in the year its been posted.
@@lestatstaton7856 oh dang
@@lestatstaton7856 That's because we can't afford it :(
Lol precision measurements, not really

While rewatching this for the 3rd time now, I realized when you talked about the belts costing you alot of dosh, that you could just buy leather scraps and cut strips from those.
Plus Having leather around is super useful in many applications.
Usually you get leather leftovers from furniture production and you can get tons of them pretty cheap (at least here in europe)
Just an idea to help you save some of that essence of life.
Oh yeah By the way I bought a hoodie this past december and I Love it.
Keep up the good work Eli and all the best from austria.
I want one of these.
Wait I have two hands...
*Correction: I want 2 of these.*
Remembers feet I want 4
Same
I remember when your channel was called nonleathalbychoice
Vicente M G xD lol and I wondered where the channel went thx for clearing that up
Same here. I found his channel when he posted his homemade weapons 2 video
They should add your weapons to video games
Roo Saxton if they give credit
They have without giving credit
@@pointingsoyjak4271 which games?
According to ZNA himself deadrising I think it was the third one, don't quote me though put one of his weapons in the game without asking or giving credit.
danger noodle they put it in a video no?
A shield is usually designed for bashing though. But since a shield bash is quite slow you can't really make it a main feature.
Kite shields have a sharp bottom for ramming through the weak spots in downed enemies' armor though, but that was only useful for well-armored knights. It also covers your side as you strike and might block some arrows, not that a plate-clad knight really needs to fear those.
Round shields are much better for arrows and better for covering your side as you strike, good to have when your armor isn't as hard as plate. Also you can hit hard as fuck with it. It's slow though.
The buckler is the real bashing shield as it's light and quick with enough force to stun even armored opponents. Doesn't cover your side but it has some protective use since it can cover your sword-hand. Useless against arrows though, it's a specialized dueling weapon.
Also the name for buckler literally originates from the old Germanic word for "bashing".
So yeah you're kinda trying to reinvent the wheel but all in good fun
You want real fun? I remade this shield except instead of a boss (since kit shields did not typically have bosses) I added a Spartan Level III+ swimmers fit armor plate. www.spartanarmorsystems.com/ar650-armaply-swimmers-cut-body-armor-set-of-two/ THIS is a shield worth having :) I am also almost done with making my first arming sword, so I will have a fully functional self-made shield and sword.
hes actually not trying to reinvent something hes just trying to provide more protection while allowing for a faster sheild bash so you can move from enemy to enemy faster and more efficiently
Crusader Sheild good for taking Jerusalem
SATAN Himself DEUS VULT
I mean its basically a kite shield shaped buckler. Though he cant move it like a buckler so normal buckler and sword stances are gonna be hindered.
Of the builds I’ve seen in this channel, I’d say this one has the best ratio of “easy to follow” + “time spent” + “fun had while bashing someone’s teeth in” with the final product.

Seriously Alpha auction off some of your builds that are leagal to ship across state lines. Im willing to bet that you have tons of fans who would love to own a ZNA build. Or you could also do a Patreon/Paypal special wherein if someone was to give you like $500 or $1000 you would make them a personal build of their choice and make a video of it.
David Burns he wants people to build things themselves, I think
Blitzfyre I know and I get that but this would be a great way for him to have extra money in the months where business isnt that good. Also he wouldn't have to do this all the time just once in a while.
I'd pay every single fee and cost to have him send me something he made to Canada
I would pay alot of money for some of this stuff
Definitely worth it
It’s so damn satisfying to see Eli’s builds come together like this
Eli, you are probably my favorite UA-camr. You have talent way beyond what I could ever hope to achieve, and you’ve inspired me. Thank you.
I've been watching since my freshman year of highschool, i graduated a few months ago. Glad to see you still doing your thing, Eli.
Saps. Im in the same boat boi. Cheers to adult life
Shield bashing.
With a one handed shield.
That straps to your arm.
And is specifically made for punching.
I strapped a piece of plywood to my arm as a shield two years ago. It functions the same way.
I still have it.
Glad someone else smart thought of this too.
Really nice thought out design. Looks really functional. Thanks for also showing proper technique on how to tape off and spray with two colors.
ZNA, man I watched your earlier stuff 4-5 years and some how last track of your channel. I came across this just now and I'm glad I did always enjoyed. Glad your still around.
The ASMR tingles of drills
a crusader shield with a flying saucer on it
*X files theme*
FUCK YEAH!
+Dimostenes Marmatakis sorry sir, this is a Christian server so no swearing
i apologize sir
Dimostenes Marmatakis hehehehe
When you’re drilling, try clamping a piece of scrap wood to keep it from blowing out the other side.
i come back to this video once every few months because it reminds me of a time before i was cripplingly depressed
Man you are really skilled at what you do. Can tell you have a lot of experience.
Dude's come a long way from his throwing sharp square thingies.
The Nocturnal Alchemist
It's not just the experience, he just has a lot of creative genius
Panther Black I actually have my sub count hidden. Sometimes it shows the person you looked at before for some reason. Just cast the wooden knuckles in aluminum and should have the video out tomorrow. You should check it out.
he got plenty of building experience but anyone who has ever used a shield should know that it was used as a weapon all the time by people like norse warriors during the viking period. the shields were much bigger and their axes heavier so both could kill you no problem
5:20 乇乂ㄒ尺卂 ㄒ卄丨匚匚
No spike on the tip? 7/10
Siscon Oniichan why only tip
I bet you give all the ladies just the tip. I thinking so spikes so that he could use it on this heavy bag without actually breaking the bag... just like how hes using the fake axe on it.
still here after idk how many years. these videos still make me laugh so thank you. God Bless you.
I've been a sub for a very long time and I've been watching your videos even longer. I love that you haven't changed into a mainstream asking for money and doing stuff just for subs. Your channel is the best and my absolute favorite on youtube. once I get my money right you can bet ill be buying merchandise. stay awesome
While Training you should try to protect your right arm with your shield, You are extending out way too far, that way your arm is an easy target. instead of a static block, you wanna move the block and strike at the same speed, which is the reason for a lighter, more maneuverable shield. just a suggestion.
Keep up the good work. Sweaty Boi.
nice profile pic dude
Hahaha
Dude this is honestly probably my favorite build you've done. I like how you work with your idea to make it more comfortable or fit in with you. Just like a custom for piece I mean it literally is I just mean I dig lol. Anyways great video
A spectacular display of creativity.
Thank You!
this video was so satisfying to watch. seeing everything just slide together and fit perfectly. your editing has gotten so much better over the years. awesome job.
T E N E B R I S
I have been a subscriber for a while, and I always come back when you make a new video, I just want to thank you because you have helped me through hard times
I mean....i wanted to go to bed
God, to me these videos are just so soothing for some reason. They make me sleepy sometimes like a lullaby, not saying its boring then I wouldn't be subscribed but it's just so tranquil, keep up the great work my man!
I know that feel.
It's probably Eli's awesome taste in music. I fall asleep to some of the songs he plays, almost instantly.
Pokè-Nerd 21 U should Look Up asmr
Pokè-Nerd 21 well not always i love tapping videos without the whispering or mre videos or rain and thunder sounds
Its the music plus the sound of the tools
This is one of my favorite videos, Eli! Well heckin done, my guy!
You've got some great skills as well as a very strange sense of humor, like myself. I've been a sheet metal fabber for 35 years and you definitely have a bright future, keep it up!
Would totally dual wield two of those.
Dual Wielding Swords?
*I sleep*
Dual Wielding Shields!?
*Real $#!t?*
We found Sundowner bois
What, do you think this is Dark Souls!!??
Then you'd be invincible because nothing can hit you! You'd be too op for the world!
Well until someone shoots you at least
Bkzander, the Warlord Meh. Plate armor with a few layers of Kevlar would do the trick.

Do you speak English
What does that have to do with his comment?
Randomness
Probably Polypropylene
Can believe your almost at 1 mill, I remember watching you since before homemade weapons part 3, over 4 years, absolutely love the videos, keep up the great work
Ethan _ Ayotte ah I remember too when I was younger watching Eli make weapons out of pencils n stuff
When i was watching this video i thought it was going to be boring, but as soon as he started to test it out he made it a whole lot cooler. btw hella powerful punch.
I like that he plugged his patreon and flexed his tool set at the same time
1:59 WHAT DID THAT PUNCHING BAG EVER DO TO YOU?!
That thing had a wife and 3 kids.........
That poor thing.....
it didn't give him skittles

Dark Potatex frick
I thoroughly enjoy watching your content.
It doesn't even look like plywood after its sprayed. That's awesome.
You should make a video titled “ad video” and put 40 ads on it. Hehehehe
MoJo's Mojo I would watch completely through it
MoJo's Mojo not even that bad of an idea tho
He would make a lot from people playing it in the background while doing other things.
MoJo's Mojo Agreed, I'd put it on for background, anything to support the channel
You dont just add how much ads you want on the vid . UA-cam foes that
PLEASE make a LIT ASS KUKRI
Sorry sir, but the is a Christian server so no swearing.
KUKRI
If you want to see a kurkri build the go the thebackyardbowyer's page
Knife Caviar yes
TheRedPanda not when I'm here but I will give the courtesy to sensor them out ****** ******
It’s crazy how much of a difference there is when he hits the punching bag with the shield and the bat
Wow! I love it. Your fighting style makes an argument for why going south paw with the shield makes sense. Precision strikes with dominate hand. Haymaker with shield hand.
I am so glad I bought one of your sweatshirts knowing it helps you out!
W h e r e s M a m m a Z e d n a u g h t E l i ? ! ?
Exactly what I wanted to see , modern shield use ,
Great video !!!
There is a certain group of people that dislike this video because they are probably saying “ omg Eli you are teaching young children how to make killing machines. OoooooOOoooOo” come on people these are quality videos that he took time and effort on. Show some respect.
who else is ready for ZNA to have a million subs already?
God you're my favorite youtuber, jackass can't unscrew something so he cuts in a dip so he can do it.
God your videos are great 10/10
Glad to see that you've adopted the good comedy/meme side since your initial content just building weapons years ago ;p
Yeah this is a very educated look at the effects of speed vs. effectiveness
its crazy how im back here 4-5 years later after this popped up in the recommended videos for a completely unrelated video. it feels like such a long time ago but it was only 2017. times crazy fr. i loved your videos. ik you aint gonna see this but i hope youre doing well🖤
Just a Christian 🅱️oi making Christian toys
Alpackz be ready for the next crusade my brother. Jk
The rhyme gets you a like.
That should go on the next hoodie
Christianity is a jewish sect so your overlords allready controll jerusalem.
@Feffnirsbane Christianity is based off of Judaism not part of it, in the same way Islam was based on Christianity. You wouldn't say Sonic fanfiction is part of the franchise. It's just based on it
You know if you really want to help Eli buy him a pack of screws and something made by cold steel.
Nah, money is probably more useful. He can't pay rent with a basher.
CrownRock1 Depends on use.
This is probably my favorite build so far. Turning defense into some hella offense. V nice
ELI! There is a semi-light weight sheet metal material called “Titanium 6-4.” It is Titanium with added percentages of Aluminum and Vanadium respectively. I have found even a sheet as thin as less than one quarter inch can stop or deflect a .45 caliber CORBON hollow head round. A sheet of this on the face of the shield would make it bulletproof against pistol fire, whilst keeping the weight low; snazzy.
Excellent work as always, magnificent Art!
Umm... If your not using a shield as a weapon your doing it wrong
best defence is a good offence
dual shields OP
You better read Tate No Yuusha No Nariagari
Agreed. A shield is already a weapon, actively used in melee not only to deflect, but to strike.
Do u even sarcasm bro?
Look up historical European martial arts or HEMA Bucklers or Viking Shields where just as much a weapon as there paired offensives. I want to a tournament and had my lights knocked out by a coldsteel Buckler. My mask even cut into my eye brow it was the hardest hit I've ever taken in all my 14 years of material arts. That being said love your take on it. Just messaged me here if you want to learn more. I love talking about this kind of stuff
NinjaEsprit had happened to me too they have way too much mass it's horrible
Dinner plate sized knuckle dusters is how I have always heard them referred too
@@tiggytheimpaler5483 Knights back in the day must've either had real good padding, or inhumanly tough skulls then. It doesn't matter how good the steel for your armor is, a concussion is a concussion.
@@schoolsout15 definitely, had a buddy that did HMB and got shot in Afghanistan. Said buckler to the sallet was just as shitty as a 7.62 to the helmet in Afghanistan. I now plan on getting one hell if a couch because of it lol
can we all come to a mutual agreement that this man should be a watch list of some sort
Honestly the funniest thing to me in this video is Eli's little chuckle after he tries to pull the Carriage bolts out.
I've found that thrift stores sell belts for really cheap just so ya know
Goodwill sells then for $5 each. Get tons from there.
Make a video called "ad video" with 1 hour of just ads I'll watch---I stole this from mojo
Great idea, and there is no possible way they can demonetize that
Seconded. Everyone can just play it in the background whilst gaming/studying/etc. I guarantee your fans will show you support and watch it through and through. :D
Hell, I'd watch It. Put It on mute and go to sleep with It playing in the background.
Didn't EmpLemon do that once?
I'm not sure
Finally a man who sees the real potential of a shield.
A collab with the slingshot channel and Colin furze would be godly.
Amen
The man is my hero.
winning at youtube
Also, the dremel thing... done it a million times
Shields were actually used as weapons all the time. But good build man! Keep up the good work!
that shield is crazy badass. ur very talented, sir.
Your Builds Are Incredible.
When are you gonna make that giant blanket fort
Mate you need to make an amazon affiliate thing, and just link stuff to Amazon.
This is a great idea.
That first shield bash got me good. I've no idea why I thought it was so funny but god damn it killed me.
u are a brave man Eli. last time I used a hole saw I almost fractured my wrist when it caught on the wood
GLADIATOR BUFF
Could you make a kobotan. I know it’s not the most exciting weapon but it’s history of where it came from is great and it’s very effective
ALEXANDER FICKLEBERRY THE THIRD Kubotan, literally a dowel rod will work as one.
However, Eli-style would be an interesting twist
Your killing me smalls! Love the references and the video!
Just seeing this kinda makes me wanna get the buckler because it’s freaking adorable
You should make a shield that a weapon can come out of it like a sword

That's the answer to your prayers....straight from the middle ages
Also see: Hungarian Buckler
ALMOST to 1 million BIG project planed??
I found it entertaining that you got around the carriage screw by just using the angle grinder to make a normal screwdriver work
Oh ma gawd! You gave me the inspiration for somethin awesome. This shield had me pumped enough, that I've watched it 13 times, and the last 5 times, I have had the nagging thought in the back of my mind. In the " Stab Proof armor" Video he pointed out that a hard steel surface that would deflect a blade can be bad, since al they have to do is swing hard enough and it would deflect around to find a weak spot. A machete swung at the angle iron of the shield could end up with the blade getting deflected toward your shoulder or bicep, of course, worse things could happen with certain circumstances(Deflect into the top of your skull if you raise the shield up point first to protect from a downward swing. But Hear me out for another moment, inch thick oak plywood for base, Beautiful, Polypropylene buckler for a boss BRILLIANT, but replace the angle iron, with 1/4-1/2 inch thick bamboo or some other dense hardwood, cut to 1 inch wide(or whatever width the thickness of the shield you make is)then add a layer of thick rawhide or leather, in front of the bamboo(providing a softer medium that will catch rather than deflect a blade) Secure those layers to the edge of the shield with 1/4 inch steel rivets, be it nails, bolts, or actual pop rivets. Any blade that has enough force behind it to push past the raw hide layer, and somehow deflects against the bamboo or hardwood, would get caught dead in it's tracks by the quarter inch rivet, plus, particularly if you use bolts for the rivet you get a nasty contact point for punching with right? Man I hope you see this, I have the know how, but sadly not the workspace or tools to do projects larger than machete maintenance (I literally just have a couple files, knives and whetstones at the moment) and I would love to see this idea come to life, before the time that I will be able to make it myself, which is far in the future.
Build Challenge: no binding materials (nails, screws, glue, etc.)
Kaleb Harris how tho
Shane Corrigan shape prices to fit together and interlock like a puzzle . idk I think it would be cool
Shane Corrigan correctly made dovetail joints are strong as h*ck. Its how they made the old 1860s sea chests that you still see around today.
Just get a fucking stick.
dovetail, biscuit, or dowel joints are probably the only way.
also without glue they're d*mn weak
FINISH HIM! 1:59
