+ZednoughtAlpha I would also like to see the defence of the shield. and also would layering them up a couple thick be viable for a better defence without to much weight?
Watching this video reminds me of being 14, watching these videos, dicking around in my grandpa's shop with all his tools, and thinking about building the ultimate zombie apocalypse kit. I used to listen to all the songs you used for your videos, and I'd share so many of your videos with my friends that "gonna pop a few rivets" became an inside joke between us. I forgot just how obsessively I used to watch your videos, how much they used to inspire me to be creative. I recently started rewatching your videos, old and new, and I'm starting to regain that creativity, picturing projects in my mind while I'm going along my day, getting excited and geeking out about going back to my garage. I've always loved your videos since I first discovered you back in like 2011? Thanks for being one of my all time favorite creators!
that was pretty cool I have a pile of outdated dishes by my shed and was planning to do something similar with them that's why this video caught my attention. good build
dude you put so much fucking work into these I can't even imagine how much time and effort it takes. I can tell you right now everyone that watches these videos and appreciates them for what they are absolutely adores you. keep up the good work man, I really appreciate it. definitely spreading your channel like wildfire!
I'm sure you get this a lot, but you should build your own version of an assassins blade. (Not necessarily the hidden blade from assassins creed) Challenge part: The blade must be easily concealable, while being easily accessible. Must be strong enough to hold up in a fight if need be. Anything else is completely up to you. I hope you accept and enjoy this official build challenge.
Zombie Apocalypse Day 0 Part 1 In the Mayhem of the panic the crowds of people swarm the guns shop around town. Zombies emerge from the horizon running at high speeds. As they attack the crowds they are unable to defend themselves. ooking from a binocular lens one o Eli's friends, Churro(cuz why not?), panics his last means of hope to get a gun was finished as he had been through every gunshop and store in town. "Fuck i cant survive this" says churro. he starts thinking of where else to get guns and weapons "Oh yeah Eli makes weapons for YT, dang why didnt i think of this before?" Churro grabs his Butcher knife and makes way for Eli's domain Along the way he meets more friends of Eli "Did all of you have the same idea?" "Yep" the group soon get close to the domain, but have come to a problem. Their running has caused a horde to give chase to them. Churro and the group now face themselves with a problem. Will they survive? Find out next time....
Hey ZNA Productions You should do a test to see if the satellite dish shield can withstand arrows from the pvc bow I have made my own shield and was curious if it would work against a bow Thanks
i am loving the mockery of all the "challenge" videos on the internet!! hahahaahhaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The only problem with a spiked shield is that instead of deflecting a blow it will catch it and push your shield away from you, leaving you defenseless.
Hello Eli, May i ask something, You said that is better to cut off the big bolts and nuts, but you didn't explained why, so: why is it better not to use them as spikes? Is it only for a balance purpose or is it something about them getting entangled in the opponent's clothes? Anyway, keep up the good work! Salutes Elia from Italy
Lol at the risk of sounding nerdy me and my friends have a Zombie apocalypse plan and group as well. Our crew is called the TCG or The Crimson Grin. We got a Logo and everything man. Got the plan ready for just straight up becoming raiders dude.
Yo dude. love your Chanel! just thought i would mention that if you wanted to save a little time getting rid of the bur on the other side of the holes you drill through the metal, i turn it over and use a slightly larger drill bit and give it a quick blast on the trigger. makes it nice and flat in a jiff :) keep up the good work man.
Was at my friend's apartment a couple weeks ago (he was helping change my brakes to save time vs me doing it alone) one of his other complex-mates had a new satellite installed I guess cause the old one was sitting by the dumpster Scooped that bad boy up and took it home with me 🤣 he was like "Why are you taking the dish?" My reply: ZNA. I kid you not I've waited years to make this ever since the video first dropped 😅
Actually, forget my last comment, if there's one thing I'm surprised/impressed by, it's not your building ability, it's not your athletic ability, it's not your intellect, and it's not the fact that this video comes up under a search for "i'm a butt", it's your freakishly excellent time management skills. How the heck do you do what you do in the time it takes you to do it? You are to life what sonic is to the freaking green hills zone.
Yeah the range on a polearm speak attack adds a lot of contant tension to an engagement if you dont have a ranged weapon. The shield bash may also be useful for pushing back and attacker into effective range of the spear if they charge the distance. Also consider though that spears can be grabbed so adding back barbing or something to your spear tip could be useful on an extended strike, the attack strength may be less important than the retraction strength in your use of the spear. imo.
You could apply Roman' legionary scutum type of handle, because it's round a bit and you can use it on more ways, so instead of vertican use horisontal grip its more usefull tehnique of fighting, so if you find bigger and round satelite dish make something like Greek's hoplon and film your shield wall with your friends, in zombie apocalypse i think that could be usefull because it offers big protection, choke point, good bracing etc. Well this is my opinion what i would like to see, and 1 more advice have short sword or knife while carryng this cuz if someone rush on you with shield, well your spear is useless :)
great build !!I have a suggestion for you though..you should have put something like a rope or strap/belt on the edge of your shield for your forearm to slide into.That way you'd make an ancient Greek type shield(hoplon) that would give you better controlling ability and sturdiness while you're using it.just research it if you like the idea!;p
i have an idea for a challenge. Start a mini series where you can only make things using primitive techniuques... That means Absolutely nothing modern, not even string or a knife to cut materials... I'll even give you your first Tip for it, Go grab a green wood stick (less than an inch diam.) and peel the bark off of it, shred the bark into long thin strips, twist to make Twine.
Yo, great shield!!! BTW shields are used to block the angles that an opponent can use to attack you, when you strike with your spear, keep the shield in front of you. Matt Easton it's a great HEMA instructor, you should watch his videos, they are great!
There is no shame in being non lethal, my friend. In fact being so by choice as it were, would put you in a good light. Either way, your channel your choice.
You're Litterally amazing funny and everything just found you're channel like 10 weeks ago and I'm in love with your content can't wait to watch this video thanks for the entertainment
+ZednoughtAlpha all good dude, seriously keep it up just finnished watching video amazing your creativity is amazing I could watch you all the time, thanks for replying and yea, if anyone went to fight you you're set haha
Fairly clever. Too bad the existing holes weren't placed where they could be adapted for securing the grip instead. Might've worked for the armstrap style of handle, but I can see why you went with centergrip instead. Also, bone-tipped arrows would be funny. Probably still not an excuse to send chicken bones though. o3o
*eli shaking the paint can* "I bet you its gonna be black, I can bet my right arm that its black paint!" *eli sprays black paint* "hehe" *winks at camera while slinging a right-fully won arm*
As I'm sitting on the couch my mom asks why I'm swaying back and forth, haha that music is catchy. And another comment, you never told us why to shave off the other screws that fill in the gap.
A quick way to clean up drilled holes that have that flare is to use a larger drill bit and very quickly lightly drill over each hole (on the flared side).
I didn't read all your comments thb. however I feel you should do your resin/welder blanket bullet resistant armor as a filler for the inside lip of your satellite dish shield. would make it incredibly tough. just a thought. you're awesome Brohamules
I've made one of these before. I would suggest not to use a satellite because it may look sturdy but against a sword with almost to no weight it bends very fast.
Word of advice: You're channel is growing pretty rapidly. Get on all social media's with the same name. (@ZednoughtAlpha, /ZednoughtAlpha). And start linking them in the description ever video. Later down the line you might catch someone who likes your name. The you'll end up with a twitter that's @ZednoughtAlpha001x. I'm actually in the Chicago Land area. So it's pretty cool when I hear you talking about towns I know or wearing Chicago gear lol Keep up the good work man.
when building a shield you should install a fore arm strap ,a old leather belt is great for it . it give you much more stablity when wielding a shield, with less effort required from your hand and arm . I made my handle from 1/2 inch copper pipe
Should get some modified acorn nuts, and send them to you. They are quite devilishly sharp, and can *really* deal some puncture wounds. Really, just make a spike, and added threads.
My dad was afraid I bought DirecTV but was relieved once I told him I was only making a spiked satellite dish shield.
haven't watched it yet but already excited about this build. btw, if you aren't a fan of weapons are you more a fan of props? you could build them
+ZednoughtAlpha Ha...ha. yeah guess streaming and netflix
Can you show the defense of the shield. Like maybe throw the spear at it!!!
+ZednoughtAlpha The Art of Weapons is doing a build challenge, i think you would win it. You should try it.
+ZednoughtAlpha I would also like to see the defence of the shield. and also would layering them up a couple thick be viable for a better defence without to much weight?

But can you weaponize a coffee mug?
It's already a weapon lol
Anything is a weapon in a real mans hands

Even Riddick knows not to kill John Wick's dog.
have 10 people with this, and some long spears. form a phalanx. one of the most effective shield and spear formations EVER
IF you have enough people to back up the front line
phalanx = wall of deatg
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!! Best army ever!
+Adam Starhawk If they got fire bombs you are fucked tho
Try to avoid Roman legions.
Awesome shield!!! And can't wait to see the wooden knuckles build.
legit anyone who skipped to the build missed out
that was pretty cool I have a pile of outdated dishes by my shed and was planning to do something similar with them that's why this video caught my attention. good build
make a video of all your armor so far like if you ageee
i age
Diana Castro yeah he should
Why are you so pumped about ageing?
I "AGEEE"
Do you mean agree.
dude you put so much fucking work into these I can't even imagine how much time and effort it takes. I can tell you right now everyone that watches these videos and appreciates them for what they are absolutely adores you. keep up the good work man, I really appreciate it. definitely spreading your channel like wildfire!
You're a hero to me. most of my own work was inspired by your awesomeness.
I'm sure you get this a lot, but you should build your own version of an assassins blade. (Not necessarily the hidden blade from assassins creed)
Challenge part:
The blade must be easily concealable, while being easily accessible.
Must be strong enough to hold up in a fight if need be.

You mean...a fucking dagger?
+NecroBanana lol

so... a dagger

Now take your fiber glass armor with some Rino Lacquer and you have a bulletproof shield.

I love your channel. So many cool post apocalyptic weapons. So many good ideas for zombie killing tools.
Am I the only one nervous about watching these because the government might think you're about to pull some freaky shit and come knocking?

thank you for your videos dude keep up the good work, look forward to your future videos
+seth mcque You're welcome! Thank you for your comment.
+ZednoughtAlpha spray paint illuminatis all over it
Dude, you're legit the best person to ever be on UA-cam.
Hello Eli,
May i ask something, You said that is better to cut off the big bolts and nuts, but you didn't explained why, so: why is it better not to use them as spikes? Is it only for a balance purpose or is it something about them getting entangled in the opponent's clothes?
Anyway, keep up the good work!

"So it does not get stuck on zombies' clothes," direct quote from Eli.
The intro :'D I love your humor
Lol at the risk of sounding nerdy me and my friends have a Zombie apocalypse plan and group as well.
Our crew is called the TCG or The Crimson Grin. We got a Logo and everything man. Got the plan ready for just straight up becoming raiders dude.
Shaggy Satyr Not even stupid or cringy, my friends and I did the same thing.
Holy cow that shield bash looked satisfying :o
I bet Tony Stark could build weapons in a cave with a box of greasy chicken bones :D
Unlikely considering tony stark is a fictional character
Spektor 22 Guns, Gear, and Tactical Sh!T eli is cooler than stark
Having a lot of flashbacks when I see all the PVC bows in the background
you should make shreders armor from teenage mutant ninja turtles
Victor De Leon Watch Man At Arms, he makes his own original stuff.
Yo dude. love your Chanel! just thought i would mention that if you wanted to save a little time getting rid of the bur on the other side of the holes you drill through the metal, i turn it over and use a slightly larger drill bit and give it a quick blast on the trigger. makes it nice and flat in a jiff :) keep up the good work man.

These are some of the most entertaining videos I watch

+adrian tran Exactly what i was going to comment xD
+adrian tran 5:05
I Was just looking for someone who commented that XD
+adrian tran sweet pic
yeah bruv you too
The shield came out looking pretty nice.
make a cannon made with styrafoum
it would explode when you shot something out of it.
The Apocalypse Hoplite lol, awesome video!
its still plastic so cant really deflect any real weapons BUT im totally making this for paintball
+felix garcia Satellite dishes aren't plastic lol.
+ZNA Productions haha I just realized u said that and I was cracking up so please keep making those awesome vids
they're usually made of steel
+Hodbaccachalla - Always Blame Lag "usually" in what circumstance would you have to they cant make plastic ones XD

haha watching the first 2 minutes I'm like dude. Elli. what are you even doing. but still loved the vid! keep up the good work man!
You have huge feet.

Why not spell it "Zednaut"? That'd be much easier to spell.
Good idea that would be easier
+Tanin Moores astron"ow"t???
Because naut or nautilus means sailor, and we are not sailors.
+DarthSears It's Greek pronunciations of the letters to form a word.
Spelling it wrong would be like spelling English wrong.
Maybe because it's similar to dreadnaught which was a class of battleship during the early 20th century
Truly the blacksmith of the apocalypse.
Make A Sword out of DOG SHIT
How about you eat some DOG SHIT
tip : you could use a big drill bit to remove the flages on the other side of the sheet
i love your mini barn in your garden
also great build
i loved his laugh at the end when he shielded the box
Dude the intro to this vid is epic!!!
Best thumbnail ever
This is really cool and I love the music you put in your videos and I really love your name zednoughtalpha
I love curved surfaces: "This is flat, but the satellite is concave, so we will bend the handle to make it flat."
at 7:22 when safari fruits by vidya vidya came on, i was like OH SNAP(cuz i luv that song) and i was dancing until it ended
i think your channel is the best i just think all the wepons you make are so boss keep up the great work
1:00am here so bored. gave me something to watch. I was literally refreshing my feed so much!
That intro.. Shots fired
Omg hahaha i died when he said ,"dont send me the greasy bones of a rotisserie chicken your family just ate."😂😂😂
hey great videos. seeing as you're making survival weapons etc I have an idea that you could possibly make a bug out bag video? would be a huge help.
Did you seriously bend that steel handle with your bare hands? Holy crap!
those things are super easy to bend man XD
Love the name change 👍🏼
Was at my friend's apartment a couple weeks ago (he was helping change my brakes to save time vs me doing it alone) one of his other complex-mates had a new satellite installed I guess cause the old one was sitting by the dumpster
Scooped that bad boy up and took it home with me 🤣 he was like "Why are you taking the dish?"
My reply: ZNA.
I kid you not I've waited years to make this ever since the video first dropped 😅

That’s a T H I C C handle.
great build !!I have a suggestion for you though..you should have put something like a rope or strap/belt on the edge of your shield for your forearm to slide into.That way you'd make an ancient Greek type shield(hoplon) that would give you better controlling ability and sturdiness while you're using it.just research it if you like the idea!;p
i have an idea for a challenge. Start a mini series where you can only make things using primitive techniuques... That means Absolutely nothing modern, not even string or a knife to cut materials...
I'll even give you your first Tip for it, Go grab a green wood stick (less than an inch diam.) and peel the bark off of it, shred the bark into long thin strips, twist to make Twine.
That's a sick thumbnail keep it up Eli
Everyday Eli becomes more and more primal
my suggestion is that you try and build a sword and shield out of a frying pan, a bit of paracord and any other materials you might need
Yo, great shield!!! BTW shields are used to block the angles that an opponent can use to attack you, when you strike with your spear, keep the shield in front of you. Matt Easton it's a great HEMA instructor, you should watch his videos, they are great!

Ten weeks?
*creeps up to the boombox*
About ten weeks ago, weeks ago!
SPZRKT Sorry. :(
Haha dude I like the intro...you're a funny guy!
very cute giggle near the end
I like how his battle tactic is almost exactly like the Spartans battle style it's a good one though
Fairly clever. Too bad the existing holes weren't placed where they could be adapted for securing the grip instead. Might've worked for the armstrap style of handle, but I can see why you went with centergrip instead.
Also, bone-tipped arrows would be funny. Probably still not an excuse to send chicken bones though. o3o
11:26 something is just really funny about the way he hit that box
Dude I know. Holy shit I've been laughing for 10 minutes. Like he Friggen fus roh dah'D that shit.
idk how, but every time i have a dream that you upload a new video, you upload a video, not just that, but it's the same vid as in my dream.
***** yeah, i did it here too to see what peoples reactions would be, and to increace the chance of Eli seeing it.
***** lol
It's a sign @.@
+Walter Morgenroth dream of a shoutout video for me. plz.

As I'm sitting on the couch my mom asks why I'm swaying back and forth, haha that music is catchy. And another comment, you never told us why to shave off the other screws that fill in the gap.
Still here two years later love the zednaughts
A quick way to clean up drilled holes that have that flare is to use a larger drill bit and very quickly lightly drill over each hole (on the flared side).
You should do a "Speed Challenge" where you build the best thing you can imagine in like 6 or 12 hours
Looking back, you should have thrown some PVC into the handle to give it girth. Just slaying. But this was pretty sick.
I didn't read all your comments thb. however I feel you should do your resin/welder blanket bullet resistant armor as a filler for the inside lip of your satellite dish shield. would make it incredibly tough. just a thought. you're awesome Brohamules
I've made one of these before. I would suggest not to use a satellite because it may look sturdy but against a sword with almost to no weight it bends very fast.
ive only seen three of your vids but so far i love them and i have the stuff for this one and the wood war hammer and shield

You're really good at acting man. Have you ever been in a short film?
Do some mini builds, like some fun mini weapons, or somevideo/console game inspired weapons
Should get some modified acorn nuts, and send them to you. They are quite devilishly sharp, and can *really* deal some puncture wounds.
Really, just make a spike, and added threads.
I actually remember non lethal by choice I enjoyed it and I lost it, it explains every thing
