With the very awkward shape, he probably would have put himself in more danger using a push stick. Honestly, you should probably build a quick sled or jig to make it safer if you're going to go about that operation in that manner.
I’ve been subscribed since your early PVC bow days when I was just a little dude trying to make bow and arrows. You are truly inspiring my friend, I’m happy to see you still uploading. Much love man and I hope you have a good time
duck tape trick is a new one to me, always learn something new with each one of your videos. And don't worry about procrastinating I haven't made a knife in months now.
After so being a long time viewer I have always preferred you actually providing commentary while talking about the tools and techniques you use is just wonderful, you should definitely consider continuing with this video format!!
I know this was posted 11 or so days ago now, but I want to thank you for making the content you make Eli. I leave in 7 days or so for Marine Corps bootcamp and before all that watching your videos has been inspiration to me to become a bald, epic, and God fearing creator of apocalypse weapons and household needs. Anyways people keep telling me "thanks for you're service", but thank YOU for your service to the UA-cam community you created. Also thanks for being awesome 😎.
Eli my man I've been watching you since I was in middle school, im 20 now and your videos are still as entertaining the day my buddy Chaz showed them to me in 8th grade, we used to make stupid little "weapons" out of anything we could find because your videos inspired us so much lol, a lot has changed since then but your videos still have the ability to take me back, thank you Eli.
Eli man I really appreciate your videos. I've watched every single one and I've never skipped an ad on your videos. You're the only UA-camr I can say that about. I found you on Zombie Go Boom waaaayyyyyyy back in the day and I've been with you ever since. Ive always wanted to support you as much as possible in fact I was going to send you a package with a h*ck ton of Swedish candy after a trip I took...but given that that was about 7 years ago I guess I probably shouldn't send it at this point. You were super impactful to me and a great role model as a kid. To this day I still show people your video about the wooden circles. In fact about a year ago I came across it again and showed my girlfriend the video and she couldn't believe it, she could tell immediately how much of an influence that video has on me even years and years later. Anyway man I just wanted to let you know that we all appreciate you and never want you to stop!
Personally, im not a fan of war club builds but I'm just happy to see ZNA up and running. I remember being in highschool and watching his stuff thinking "aw das cool, he seems nice. I hope his channel blows up big time." Now, seeing it at a million plus and still making this stuff, Just kinda makes me happy.
In all honesty, you could build a bed frame and still be entertaining to me. It’s just the way you embrace the silly approach to your videos that makes me stay hooked. You are the content, you don’t have to create it!
Your war club is also fighting off MY responsibilities - right now. Indeed, the responsibilities of us all. You are a gentleman, a scholar, and an athletic supporter.
Zna you content if perfect thing to watch when you about yo go to sleep, you get a cool build and very soothing music to sleep too 10/10 long upload time worth it
Something that might make final sanding your handle scoopies a bit easier is wrapping the sandpaper around a plastic putty spreader. That way you can bend the spreader to help match the contour of the handle
this is what zna calls "filler content" while 95% of youtube is low effort react vids. man, i am sorry the algorithm has turned on you so badly. you're exactly the kind of high-effort content creator we need more of.
Your editing is phenomenal and those bevels are sick! It's very much worth the wait between videos. Also, you can slap some medium density foam on that orbital sander for a *VERY* sexy contouring tool.
I've been watching your channel ever since homemade weapons 2 and I've never been bored watching your videos. I love your content also I think it would be cool if you built a diamond tredplate custom helmet for you apoch crusader armor
Dude tbh I don't care when your videos come out. I can't speak for everyone but I just love your style of comedy, editing, and music, not including the awesome builds or diy's you do. You don't have to worry about getting a video out at a certain time, the real ones will be here to watch.
dude the fact that you have both of your thumbs still is kind of amazing Edit: so if you dont want the fish mouth, round off the corners of the steel first with the hammer and it helps. strike in and back on it and it should fix that. also, in order to prevent possible snapping on your knife tang, make the shoulders of the plunge round so that there isnt a lot of stress on them. Awesome video man, keep it up!
PLEASE use a push stick with that table saw! You're going to mangle your hand. And you'd be surprised how quickly you can pass out with the blood gushing out of you. I say this as a friend and brother who's been watching for years.
@ZNA production u are the all time best UA-camr in entire website never stop making videos you have inspired me to start blacksmithing and crafting and helped me get threw my depression love you man keep on keeping on P.S. my names Eli too
just randomly remembered about this guy and searched on youtube for a minute till I found him again. I haven't watched him in like 5 years and I miss the content so much.
Can I tell you a story about improper use of table saws ZNA? Back when I was 16, I was using a table saw the exact same you were in the beginning of the video but get this, the saw shot the wood I was running through OUT and caused my hand to collapse on top of the blade, cutting off 3 and a half of my fingers. It was 5 years of physio therapy and repair surgeries before my hand could be somewhat functional. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE USE A PUSHROD.
My brother in Christ I am begging you with my full heart to make something to use as a push stick no matter how badly we would all love to see another self stitching vid lol
Have you considered making a full version of your fiberglass level III plate? Like a front, back, and sides plates. A lot of surplus kevlar neck protection (and some stuff like groin and arm pit protectors) are easy to find at surplus stores, but full vests are either rare or extremely expensive, so I think a video on a poverty-vest you could build into a full fledged flak jacket would be good
I like this type of video! Edit? Style? Idk what to call it. But I like the commentary over the quick clips of the building process. It makes for more entertaining and possibly shorter videos, which is great. Keep it up! I really like it 👍
I love the oil burn combo. A little trick I've found out is to burn, sand, burn, sand, burn, sand, oil. This gives a very rich burn look. When you sand, make sure you don't sand off all the burn tho.
I really wish UA-cam would recommend your videos, the only reason I found this one so late is because I searched for you and I was pleasantly shocked to see it
Hey Eli, I know you probably won’t see this, but I thought it would be dope if you tried making a plume for a helmet or piece of armor, I know crusaders is your main thing so maybe just a small tuft type plume on top? Would be really cool imo, of course you don’t have to if you don’t feel like it
For real. Now I have to return the Gun Stock War Club that I bought last year as a wedding gift since he has 2 already. Hmm, maybe a treadplate toaster...
Always good to see a new video. I wish I could afford to use your code, but my brother is in the hospital, fighting for his life, so I have to take care of the bills on my own. But I hope other people can chip in and use your code.
Man, i follow you since the day i saw the bone-splitter video on ZGB, and i've loved your videos ever since. You've grown so much, both on yt and personally, i'm so proud of you. Keep up with your good work! Much love ✌
THAT INTRO WAS SO FUCKING AMAZING i had to go back and pause every slid and cry laughung individually to each one, eli, thank you for posting. its been a while and i feel your pain, we are the same age and i know ;life is crazy for people like us just trying to live on our own and find a way sometimes but you, you help me through it have a good day Eli!
Flap discs *are* bad ass for woodworking but it's so easy to remove too much material. I almost never use them unless I'm doing some really rough shaping.
Woodburning and linseed oil is a game changer, I really appreciate this look. God bless you my brother in Christ 💟
Did that with a bō staff I made once
Us real fans don’t care if it’s “filler content” we’re just glad to see a friggin epic gun stock war club
(Edit: mom I’m famous)
Literally I just love to see that i can waste my time watching some dope shit
TRUE
I'm just glad to see him
Can’t believe it’s already been 14 years
Im just glad to see him post
He has returned.... seriously needed this today. See you next year my man.
Same!
Same!
Same!
Same!
Same!
I’ve been watching that meme a while now so the fact you started the video with it was all I needed thank you
Your editing skills really are some of the best on UA-cam in my opinion. Doesn't matter what you're making, it's always entertaining to watch.
Frfr
I agree. Great sense of comedic timing.
100% agree
spitting fax here
I can already hear the table saw enthusiasts angrily slamming their keyboards after watching you put that wood through without the push stick thingie
I am trying very hard not to.
With the very awkward shape, he probably would have put himself in more danger using a push stick. Honestly, you should probably build a quick sled or jig to make it safer if you're going to go about that operation in that manner.
Honestly Eli makes some of the most amusing videos without being corny as. God bless your marriage
I love that you included Alec Steele, and jeorg sprave
I’ve been subscribed since your early PVC bow days when I was just a little dude trying to make bow and arrows. You are truly inspiring my friend, I’m happy to see you still uploading. Much love man and I hope you have a good time
Same here
It's good to see Eli loosing his mind In a lobster boiling in cold water kind of way. :)
This guy literally built a lego house on a firm foundation. Who else can do that? Truly gifted by God, and a gift from God.
Ps. Has it been a year yet? I’m ready for another video
Very relatable. Sometimes I make Sawblabe Baseball Bats to fight off my insecurities.
duck tape trick is a new one to me, always learn something new with each one of your videos. And don't worry about procrastinating I haven't made a knife in months now.
My brother in Christ, you do you and we'll keep watching. There is no filler, just content. No procrastination, only side projects.
Next years video “how to make a recording schedule from rebar”.
I have watched this video like 3 times this week cause I’m stressed about work and your videos always just relax me.
This is the only guy who I actually sit and listen to when they're advertising. He's so entertaining.
17 thousand years have passed and now a new godlike weapon, the warclub of eli, has appeared from some shed in america
After so being a long time viewer I have always preferred you actually providing commentary while talking about the tools and techniques you use is just wonderful, you should definitely consider continuing with this video format!!
Your editing skills really show in this video. Glad too see you having fun making something epic!
I know this was posted 11 or so days ago now, but I want to thank you for making the content you make Eli.

Good luck man with boot camp, thanks for your service. Wish Eli would try and respond to comments but it is what it is
Eli my man I've been watching you since I was in middle school, im 20 now and your videos are still as entertaining the day my buddy Chaz showed them to me in 8th grade, we used to make stupid little "weapons" out of anything we could find because your videos inspired us so much lol, a lot has changed since then but your videos still have the ability to take me back, thank you Eli.

"you sprinkle a chive on a piece of duck, lookout ladies" best hello fresh ad ever.
That FRICKING opening. Too good.
Our lord. We hunger for more bald creative wholesome Content. Please 🙏
Personally, im not a fan of war club builds but I'm just happy to see ZNA up and running. I remember being in highschool and watching his stuff thinking "aw das cool, he seems nice. I hope his channel blows up big time." Now, seeing it at a million plus and still making this stuff, Just kinda makes me happy.
"I can turn anything into a weapon, even this rifle!"
day was garbage till i saw ZNA posted!!
Dude, you are so good at blacksmithing now.
could not of used a zna more today. God bless Eli
In all honesty, you could build a bed frame and still be entertaining to me. It’s just the way you embrace the silly approach to your videos that makes me stay hooked. You are the content, you don’t have to create it!
Thumbnail composition is on point.
Yes it’s been a while since I’ve caught one of your videos, great stuff
Thank you much very ZNA for uploading
Your war club is also fighting off MY responsibilities - right now. Indeed, the responsibilities of us all.
You are a gentleman, a scholar, and an athletic supporter.
"a room temperature knife going through hot butter" made me lose my shit.
That intro was ballin bro
I lost my shit at Jeorg Sprave trying to escape a medium shirt
It's great seeing other dudes who make things reference I Did A Thing
that editing is crazy good
Maaaaan, I would’ve paid quadruple the price of creator clash to see our op bald character in the ring.
Eli vs Alec Steele at Creator Clash 2
I really enjoyed the Günther song when you applied oil 👌👌
This was a blast, I seriously dug the textured blade.
Zna you content if perfect thing to watch when you about yo go to sleep, you get a cool build and very soothing music to sleep too 10/10 long upload time worth it
Exactly bro
I’m so happy that you’re still going man! Your videos are always Inspiring!
Something that might make final sanding your handle scoopies a bit easier is wrapping the sandpaper around a plastic putty spreader. That way you can bend the spreader to help match the contour of the handle

Man that intro was so good “essential craftsman’s youngest subscriber” LMAO
That memetic warfare introductory montage was straight slappin
I love your humor! Great video, as usual! Always informative, inspiring and entertaining!
Dude ive been needing one of these forever
dude the fact that you have both of your thumbs still is kind of amazing
Edit: so if you dont want the fish mouth, round off the corners of the steel first with the hammer and it helps. strike in and back on it and it should fix that. also, in order to prevent possible snapping on your knife tang, make the shoulders of the plunge round so that there isnt a lot of stress on them. Awesome video man, keep it up!
Being a hobby chef: The duck was not done/ready.
Being a long-time ZNA watcher: Nice vid bro, keep it going. :)
I would definitely watch a ZNA and Colinfurze collab video. That'll be an epic crossover
I graduated basic training last Friday and am on my 10 days of boot leave, perfect timing for your post! As always love the content!
that intro was awesome, good to see you back ellie
PLEASE use a push stick with that table saw! You're going to mangle your hand. And you'd be surprised how quickly you can pass out with the blood gushing out of you.
I say this as a friend and brother who's been watching for years.
Funny you did this video. Only just recently, I watched a guy make a gun stock war club to fight off my own responsibilities. Small world I guess
5:05
This kind of stuff is why I love this channel so much. That had me giggling like a goober for a while.
@ZNA production u are the all time best UA-camr in entire website never stop making videos you have inspired me to start blacksmithing and crafting and helped me get threw my depression love you man keep on keeping on
P.S. my names Eli too
Same man each time I felt down I would watch one of his videos and it would make me feel a lot better. This guy is awesome man
One of the best ClubKind weapons ever made
just randomly remembered about this guy and searched on youtube for a minute till I found him again. I haven't watched him in like 5 years and I miss the content so much.
As a lover of the slander meme, this channel, and other channels like it, thank you for the incredible crossover.
Havent been to ur channel since i was like 10 im impressed with your quality of entertainment im glad i remembered you out off the blue
Can I tell you a story about improper use of table saws ZNA?

It was 5 years of physio therapy and repair surgeries before my hand could be somewhat functional. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE USE A PUSHROD.
Holy crap you needed a sawstop my boy
@@daveywarrior1 Sawstops weren't a thing in most saws then, young lad.
My brother in Christ I am begging you with my full heart to make something to use as a push stick no matter how badly we would all love to see another self stitching vid lol
TRY THE LINSEED OIL MIXED WITH PINE TAR... GIVES IT A DARKER LOOK DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH IS USED.
2:04 I didn't even realise till I played back
Have you considered making a full version of your fiberglass level III plate? Like a front, back, and sides plates. A lot of surplus kevlar neck protection (and some stuff like groin and arm pit protectors) are easy to find at surplus stores, but full vests are either rare or extremely expensive, so I think a video on a poverty-vest you could build into a full fledged flak jacket would be good
That ironclad industries one is accurate af
this guys got the nicest community i stg
I love all your projects man your making me rethink the burning style for my own stuff
Love you dude, im glad you seem happier these days; keep rocking it on here. God bless
Missed seeing your vids. Hope the wedding goes great!
“SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSICK OF MAKING KNIFES” 😂💀
I like this type of video! Edit? Style? Idk what to call it. But I like the commentary over the quick clips of the building process. It makes for more entertaining and possibly shorter videos, which is great. Keep it up! I really like it 👍

I truly thought your next line was going to be "burn, sand, burn, sand, burn, sand, start over because you burned your whole piece"
I really wish UA-cam would recommend your videos, the only reason I found this one so late is because I searched for you and I was pleasantly shocked to see it
Hey Eli, I know you probably won’t see this, but I thought it would be dope if you tried making a plume for a helmet or piece of armor, I know crusaders is your main thing so maybe just a small tuft type plume on top? Would be really cool imo, of course you don’t have to if you don’t feel like it
i didnt know there were memes for the build youtubers but damn that shit killed me
That's actually really cool. Reminds me of that paddle looking Aztec sword with the jagged break off pieces
YESSSS A SPONSOR !! Congrats man !
I can't this guys channel had been hiding this entire time in plain sight
The slingshot channel joke! Too good 🤣🤣
Make merch that says "Thank You Much Very" and I will absolutely buy it, Eli
God the glow up on these videos is absolutely bonkers. I forgot about ZNA for years and man do these videos S L A P
Eli you should make a vid talking about your thoughts on upcoming global supply chain issues, something simple maybe if you’re prepping anythinf
Lol unironically you should open a wedding registry and allow us to be able to send you gifts 🤷🏻♂️
The ultimate Alpha Mail
For real. Now I have to return the Gun Stock War Club that I bought last year as a wedding gift since he has 2 already.
Hmm, maybe a treadplate toaster...
Always good to see a new video. I wish I could afford to use your code, but my brother is in the hospital, fighting for his life, so I have to take care of the bills on my own. But I hope other people can chip in and use your code.
Dang bro, hope your brother gets better man
That sucks. Best wishes to both of you.
Hope you brother pulls through man praying for you both
that edit at 9:15 clean af, i see ur minmaxing that viewer retention game
You're the goat, but that introduction to ironclad? mans unbelievable. Big thanks
Can confirm. I watch essential craftsman and i have fond memories of riding dinosaurs to school
Man, i follow you since the day i saw the bone-splitter video on ZGB, and i've loved your videos ever since.
You've grown so much, both on yt and personally, i'm so proud of you. Keep up with your good work!
Much love ✌
THAT INTRO WAS SO FUCKING AMAZING i had to go back and pause every slid and cry laughung individually to each one, eli, thank you for posting. its been a while and i feel your pain, we are the same age and i know ;life is crazy for people like us just trying to live on our own and find a way sometimes but you, you help me through it
have a good day Eli!
Flap discs *are* bad ass for woodworking but it's so easy to remove too much material. I almost never use them unless I'm doing some really rough shaping.
Flap disks are amazing 100%
that slander bit at the beginning was geniuses lol
