I don't think I've ever seen such a good looking product from such budget machining, excellent job!
That's what I like to hear! Glad you're all liking it.
I definitely agree, but I did laugh when he said it could hold pretty tight tolerances. for that type of thing it doesn't matter anyway but funny to hear.
you haven't been around much huh?
Yes you can use woodworking tools on aluminum. But do you know you can also use them on mild steel? (It's risky but you can) Like using an old saw blade on a circular miter saw to cut mild steel tubing. (eye protection recommended)
I’ve been watching you since middle school bro and I’m 20 now. I still click off of whatever I’m watching when I see that notification pop up. I know it’s been hard for you these part few years bro but we love you and we are all here for you bro! Don’t ever stop doing what you are doing, build what you want and we will stand behind you❤️
Average ZNA viewer. Always an immediate watch for me, too.
Bro I'm in the same boat, one of my favorite memory's was building the penguin from the original homemade weapons series with my grandpa when I was in middle school
Same im 20 also I remember watching all his vids back in middle school
Also started watching in middle school and still watching at 20 love this guy
Fucking same
Thank you for posting again Eli, was hoping to see you pop back up on my feed. Always great when you post. Much love bro keep up with the crazy projects!
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Just a warning bro if you start spamming you're banned.
Happy to be in your feed! Hope I don't disappoint.
@@ZNA_Productions you never disappoint, always happy to see you posting content.
@@ZNA_Productions just so you know, thats a bot he ain't got no soul eli
@@ZNA_Productions based Eli as always
From pop can throwing stars, to laser cut crossbow cams. What a time it's been.
now he can once again make throwing stars out of aLOOminum
Impressive. Very nice.
Let's see Paul Allen's Aluminum Crossbow Cams
Now lets see alec steele's crossbow cams.
The professional quality of the finish, the repeatability of the pattern, my god, it even has a nice brass sleeve on the exposed screw to aesthetically compliment the raw aluminum...
As a machinist, I'm thoroughly impressed with the results you were able to achieve with your methods. And it was very entertaining to watch your journey learning to work with aluminium! They don't call it the "Engineer's Playdough" for nothing! Glad to see you doing well. You've always been an inspiration to achieve despite lack of means. Keep on keeping on buddy!
I'm a machinist as well and I definitely agree, it's funny to hear what other people consider tight tolerances when you're used to precision work, but it was definitely precise enough and look super good!
I really like how you're as honest as possible by saying stuff like "this is what they wanted me to show, or say" and then just saying it without some promo script read. Great video (so far, 7 minutes left) and thanks for posting. Love your stuff, especially the earlier armour builds!
I am a production CNC machinist who works mostly with aluminum. It's really cool to see you get such good results without having CNC machine tools to work with.
8:46 Router jazz is my new favorite genre, that was incredible
I'm glad to see married eli is much happier and much more financially stable then single eli from a few years back. Cant wait to see what you'll build in the future
Eli you are my childhood, I will forever watch your videos.
Aluminum is probably one of my favorite metals to work with.
Watching you for ten years now and I just turned 20 so I feel that jump in time love you man 🫶
I have watched your videos for 9 years now and can say I'll always watch any video that pops up. Not to mention when I'm like "has he posted anything lately" and just scroll through your channel. Keep up the good work
it's hard to think back to when i was in Elementary and middle school getting to come home and watch one of your videos, now i've graduated, and i understand how hard it is to keep up your hobbies. I'm happy you can still find enjoy your hobbies and share them with the world!
Honestly this man just re invented how to videos!!! Designing a jig so we could follow along! UA-cam genius
I have been watching you since I was about 8-9 and now im 18 and thought about it because you reflected mid video about how you have been doing this for at least a decade now and it made me glad i was there from the beginning to watch you grow
Dude I'm a missionary kid in Sierra Leone and my dad got me into watching your vids and these are some of the most entertaining videos on the internet and everything you post is absolute GOLD!
I found this guy back in 6th grade. When he lived with his parents and still had hair, such an Awesome content Creator.
If Eli worked at my metal fabrication shop, he’d be a star.
Metalworking + woodworking = serotonin
AHHH THE NOSTALGIA OF ELIS BACKGROUND MUSIC 🎶 😊
FKN ❤️ TONS..
DEAR GOD, THANK YOU FOR THIS PERSON.. 😂 THANKS ELI..
Great example of how to use the tools you have and a good bit of the brain you were given.
Brother I’m so glad your in a better place mentally, I can see it even through a video,God bless you man
It's nice to see someone thrilled to work with aluminum lol
Anyone else who gets butterflies in their stomach when Eli posts a new video, or just me?
Eli, You are my favorite youtuber
I’m now halfway across the world back home in Indonesia for the summer, and my goodness this is one hell of a good way to wake up. Good morning Eli, thank you for the video ❤
Everytime Eli uploads, my day gets better
Wow...I can't believe I've been witnessing your growth for close to/over a decade already. It's been an honor sir 🙏 🙌 👏 😂
The lighting is good, I’m proud of you elija
Routers are so very often slept on as home shop machine tools. One can *really* replicate some pretty nice CNC machining with a router, they're pretty great.
Wow cool process! Really like the creativity, shows you can make really advanced parts if you just scramble the brain enough! One thing though is when tapping threads, you should really only tap the holes in the "main cam", and have larger holes in the part you are screwing down. Clearance holes with no threads in them (screw goes straight through). When you tap both parts like in the vid you will not be able to get any clamping force between the parts, the screw will only tighten in the top part. Greetings.
Was hoping someone already mentioned it. Besides that awesome work man.
papa eli blesses us yet again with a banger zna production 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
i gotta say, i'm happy to have you back in a more semi regular kinda way. love this shiz.
Dude those bad boys are pristine, excellent work.
Eli *CAN* make a crossbow!
He just needs it to be huge
The editing in this video is crazy good
I’ve been watching since like middle school and I’m about to be 20 in a few days, I just wanna say that youve genuinely taught me a lot of things, I just want to say keep it up! Your teaching the youth a lot of lost trades
It's a good thing I check this channel every week because for some reason I didn't get a notification!
My dude, I remember watching "homemade weapons" like 15 or more years ago. Been watching ever since, and I cannot express how awesome I think it is that you are still here on youtube making videos. You Eli, are a HERO!
Words cannot describe my exitement every time i see the ZNA Notification
Damn, there is a LOT of effort put into the video editing. Good job Eli
This is how you do sponsorships. Make the sponsored segment so integral to the video, that if you didn't say the video was sponsored, you wouldn't even know. Fully entertaining from start to finish, as always.
Battery powered hammer drivers are just the norm now. They sound so warm and comfy.
holy crap... when you said 10 years ago... my jaw dropped. My first video I saw of you was with the riot shield. Man time flies...
I love that you’re honing your skills, good job!
Ive been watching your videos since middle school and im in my second year of college now, i remember buying my first angle grinder that i still have and use and it set me on a path of working on cars and now im going to school for it. I cant thank you enough Eli for being such a good roll model in life and in faith. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas.
Some of the the sleekest dang cams I’ve ever seen
Dang those look absolutly gorgeous!!!
It's always a pleasure to see you pop up in my feed, my dude. Glad you're doing well!
Congrats on the marriage Eli, may you go forth and multiply.
I’ve been watching since 7th grade and I’m now 19, crazy how this dude impacted my life
Great video man. You're one of the few creators i care to watch when a new video comes out.
Every time this man posts my will to live is revived
That wrist pop was VISCERAL
Editing and video quality has gotten incredible! Your humor has always been great and I'm glad to see your editing helps your jokes shine lol
Good to see ya again Eli
always a joy seeing more ZNA❤
I just wanna say you're awesome still after all these years and that's why I will never change my Profile Picture that's from one of you're giveaways.
I do love Creality, their 3D printers are great and that makes me love their company.
Good job Bubba
I fr need to see that ballista on a football field shooting some targets. Love the build btw
my favorite laser engraving channel
That wrist pop was something
That’s some slick machining there friend!
Yup tapping aluminum is a dream. *que childhood flashbacks to breaking a bolt off in an aluminum engine block and it fighting us the entire repair process*😅
I dropped everything I was doing when I saw you had posted again, glad to see you're still going strong Eli!
Can't wait for our collab
A New vid from eli makes my whole month fr
Dude I got that laser cutter you had an ad for! Gonna try to laser cut sheet metal with some chemical tricks hopefully
Interesting, combining chemicals and lasers? Brain emoji
Man, I gotta be honest, I watch A LOT of UA-cam, and you’re probably the creator I look forward to most when you post. Thank you for what you do Eli!
Even though I'm not the target audience for this machine, this was still cool to see!
Bro, startet watchin yo vids 8 years ago, still like em, still on my notifications, still bussin! 🤝🏻
Eli thanks for being as creative as you are! I have been watching you for years now! Keep it up man!
NGL the "once you have a laser engraver you have every size drill bit" was one of the best endorsements I've ever heard. I am a poor boy but want.
Bro is wondrous, splendid, and spectacular
this is a good format for sponsored content. An "overall W" as the young hip folks would say (im one of those)
Keep up the good work. Always my favorite day each season when we get a vid
After all the videos I've watched of you making some cool and dangerous stuff; I believe you have the potential to be a super villain.
Damn bruh the music was chill af I felt like I was loungin
I really love watching your videos. I’ve been a fan for several years now! Thank you so much for your humor to always make me laugh ❤
creality entering the laser cutter game after elegoo, good times ahead
I check in every few months and binge watch your videos, love the work and commentary. Keep up the amazing work 😊
Those inside cuts in there are where a CNC router, or mill, comes in super handy! You could cut the whole thing out with a CNC router/mill! You just have to make sure that if you go with a CNC router (instead of a mill) you take it super easy, because they generally are flimsy machines that will chatter a bunch, depending on how big the machine is and its construction. It also helps to have some machine oil to lube the cuts - and use a carbide bit. Then you can sit back and let it do all the hard work for you.
The lighting on the face cam looks good. Maybe take the hue slide slightly more toward the blue end to counteract the warm bulb.
If he would upload at least once per week I guarantee he would have at least 3Mil subs. Love it when he drops vids
does the megamind cut really give you a megamind
No it made me dumber but 3x stronger.
Always a good day when you upload!!
You dont know how long I've been waiting
Like 2 months
When are we seeing the finale of the balista build?
DAMN. Those cams looking JUICY. Really cool seeing how professional you can make it with such simple tools.
Been a machinist for two years now and watching you go through all the lessons Ive learned in just a single video. My man
I dont know if you ever will get a tig welder to weld aluminum, but if you do, remember my number one rule.... Aluminum is a tsundere. You have to put a lot of heat at the start and wean it off at the end.
Love how these look, nice work!
Now for my to get back to making that open source hurdy gurdy (called the nerdy gurdy), as well as a four-shaft loom i designed to cutout with lasers!
Nice. Always glad to see your videos pop up!
* has a channel based on DIY and crafts
not even 2 minutes into a video: "ill pay extra for a cardboard box, please dont make me build shit"
love it, great that you got sponsors! always a blast to see you upload
My feelings or lack there of about the movement of the light is extremely confidential, and I shall take them to my grave. I do love the video overall, though. Many much joy. Many much thank.
I wanted to build a crossbow over summer so I designed a classic PVC/fibreglass scrap contraption, but now I might muster the courage to make a reverse draw 🙏
Let’s go another post another day of happiness 🎉
Dang! Nice clean work!
Scary how long I been watching u for
👻boo
grats on the ring bro. glad to see you flying high
