I don't quite understand all these comments. I think it's smart. Everybody hear claiming he's gonna shoot up a mall. He's using his time by working with his hands. Whether it's weapons off a video game or being a gunsmith or even a carpenter. It's a good way to release stress or even emotions in a healthy way. I respect that.

That speech at the end was very inspirational. Alas, the furthest I've gotten into weapon crafting is making microserrated blades, screwdriver throwing darts, and attaching a couple feet of shoestrings to the lanyard hole of a pocket knife to make a makeshift rope dart, all dangerous objects, but all for the purpose of learning how best these tools work. I thank you for being such a great person, even during these days of your life.
I really like this kid. he's respectful and down to earth and he seems like he really cares about the viewers. BTW I love the weapon builds. keep up the good work 👍.
Great work, man! You make such oddly beautiful works of art! I'm currently designing a sword based off my own katana, called the apocalypse katana which I hope will combine the traditional aesthetics of the sword with the drab of a junkyard. It's looking great!
Something about a saw blade. Years ago my son asked me to design a weapon for a movie he was filming with friends. Character needed something she had thrown together using only garage items. I looked around and saw a 12" rip saw blade and a youth size wooden baseball bat. Easy enough. Everyone was blown away at how wicked it looked. Stumbled on your video and had to check it out. Great job, and very artistic.
I really like this kid. he's respectful and down to earth and he seems like he really cares about the viewers. BTW I love the weapon builds. keep up the good work.
Love the bit at the end where ya talked about making weapons!! I would love to teach you about knife and tomahawk throwing/making let me know if you are interested!
man i got all nostalgic rewatching this, I'm so glad your living the dream, I know its hard now with all the demonetization and crud but still, congratulations! you're actually doing what you love for a living! whether its tomahawks or coffee tables i've loved every video and i cant wait for the new ones!
I made something similar to this, but instead of using sheet metal as the backbone of this build, i used some pipes, fastened with bolts. In order to make the sawblade extend outward like the one on your tomahawk, i used sections of aluminum, also fastened with bolts to the main pipe. I really appreciated what you said at the end of the video about people like you and I making stuff because its cool and fun, its really great to hear that from someone who already has such a huge footprint on youtube so far. Love the vids and content. Great work as usual
Nice! Good work young sir. Small tip for you.... when cutting a bolt, thread the nut on before you cut (if space allows). This way when you remove the nut (prior to install) it will clean the threads up for you. It makes for an easy re-thread. Keep up the creativity.
You are by far, my favorite UA-camr Eli. No joke. You are such a great guy, and you do pretty freakin' cool stuff. Thankyou for being you, and not caring what, as you say, 96 pound prepubescent boys hiding behind a keyboard and computer screen think about you. You are truly an inspiration to me, and many others.
Sawblades aren't reversible, there would only be blunt edges if you flipped it backwards. Lesser chance it would snag, yes, but only because it wouldn't cut into anything.
CheeseGraphicsHD K as in the shortened version of 'Okay'. You say the letter and it sounds like 'Kay, which is something people do find themselves writing and saying, as opposed to 'Okay'. If you fail to grasp something as basic as that, you may want to go back to school and learn a bit more about thinking outside of the box. And before you make a wiseass comment about how you were being a wiseass, I'm being one too :^)
dude did you beat cancer? why are you so up beat and wise sounding? bro your like a boss and way to go bringing God into things people dont do that enough good job man keep it up
Seriously dig your stuff Eli. Love how you challenge and encourage people to do their own thing and use their creativity. Means a lot to see someone creating and using their gifts. Keep it up bruv!
Chris Murphy lol he was censoring himself for the little kids who watch this. because as he said. he was making things like that at 12 so in his eyes some 12 year olds may watch this and might wanna build this
the holes in the sawblade is to stop it from cracking when it gets hot. since everything gets bigger when it gets hotter and the blade will get diffrent temprature in the middle and the edge it needs some space to ''grow''
I like this guy lol. He knows what he's talking about... aside from calling a nut a bolt, but I did that for years tbh. And that's just terminology. Sounds like a good guy
Amazing craftsmanship and awesome art. Yes these are weapons and yes they do have a bad persona for violence but this is truly art. Taking objects and making your thoughts and feelings is amazing. Thanks man
I like your philosophy on not giving full, step-by-step instructions. The biggest part of learning in my opinion is puzzling some things out for yourself. Learning a thousand ways something won't work just makes you that much stronger at making it in a way or in ways that it will work. By just following "the correct way," you may never learn WHY it's correct, you may never come up with improvements on it, and you may never really be attached to it. But if you have to design it yourself it becomes more important to you which motivates you to make it better, and it makes you know WHY you ended up where you did. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Thanks for the cool videos, keep up the good work.
ZNA Productions Well if you put an idea out there on a public medium you can only expect it to be analyzed and criticized. Hey, if they want to waste their time, energy, money, and the resources of the rest of the sane public because they watched too many horror movies and can't tell the difference between verifiable science, and fiction: have at it. Buy a bunch of crossbows, and slime green tomahawks, and swords and tell yourself that it isn't just a silly obsession. Who am I to judge? Just someone tasked with defending this country and it's majority of insane inhabitants from real threats. I have yet to be trained how to decapitate a zombie, or survive in a Walmart off of beef jerky and cat food.
Blueshirt Or not. Bit of a stretch to try to Spencer Reid up an analysis about an inability to hear differing views from my 2 words spoken. Here's a revelation: Maybe after a couple thousand comments like yours, you learn to stop paying attention to people trying to change you because they believe their way of thinking is supreme. They all blend together. It's nothing personal, I just wouldn't be where I am professionally or personally if I changed every time someone wanted me to. Have a cool day.
im subbed to over 200 youtubers and you are by far my fave, i found your channel a couple years back but i didnt have a channel so i couldnt sub you. thankfully i just came across your channel again and i am so impressed with your weapons, vlogs, armour and your physique man you have got dench! i remember when guys used to troll you for greasy hair. but you have become an awasome guy. respect man keep it up! so glad i found your channel again today
cant tell you how much i liked the last couple minutes there. your absolutely right and im sure you will one day be a professional youtuber. im going to share your channel and recommend it in my vids from now on. keep up the good work man.
Very cool Eli this has the aesthetic similar to the game and it’s honestly cool as heck glad you made this keep up the work man I know the memes have been dry recently but you’ll pull through
Right, I've been watching a few of your videos now, and I'm done hiding. This was awesome, what you do is awesome. Most of my time searching videos are either of cats or people's creations. Creative people are awesome. :P Also, nice speech at the end, that was pretty chill. Have a subscriber. I can't wait to see what other awesome stuff you come up with. :D
Wow man, i'm more drawn in by your speech at the end, this is the first of your videos I've watched and i love it. I'm 18 and i'd love to be able to make weapons and stuff like that, i just cant because I've no idea the tools or parts i need or how to used them, and financially of course :L But seriously dude you could/can inspire alot of people.
also to help with your drilling you can get a set of center punches they come in a set of various sizes you put it in the place you plan to drill and tap it with a hammer then you can drill with out the bit wandering
The end is so true! I like to make gadgets like flashlight watches and flashing bow ties and some people think it's weird, but most people just think it's cool :)
LOL! Yes, I think you're weird, but I love your creative artistic talent! Thanks for the inspiration- I have a 5-gallon bucket full of old saw blades and never knew why I kept them, just knew I'd eventually meet a cool guy like YOU who would give me a reason for not throwing them out. Thanks, and best wishes your way, my friend!
Another awesome video. Thanks for the hard work man. I really appreciate it. The real talk at the end was inspiring. You're a good dude. Keep it up man.
Dude I like how you make all these awesome weapons, and you make them so beautiful. And the end of this video was a very pleasant change to the norm I've seen so far. Keep up the good work, and I might even try to make some of the easier ones myself, since I don't have many tools xD
Really good video. Even though a nut is a nut I still liked this and think that you are wise beyond your years. Appreciate the fact you went over safety concerns and no swearing. Keep up the good work.
The glove thing - It is good to use high quality thick gloves. Couple of times a skin on my hands was saved by those, when grinding on a table grinder.
dude mad respect, im a creative type and i do stuff you do plus anything els you can possibly imagine, and iv been thinking lately what i needed to do with my life and that i needed to be important or recognized and my gf talked to me and told me a lot of what you just said and made me feel better and what you said made me realize i just need to do what i love be myself and follow my heart, dude thanks so much ! -Dom
Clever design, well-executed. Not sure I would like this as a defense or survival tool, though. Even though it would unquestionably do much damage to a person or animal, it doesn't have the penetration of a regular hatchet or tomahawk, and can't be used for the multitude of tasks they would also be good for. Though it might be a great deal of work, I'd be interested in seeing something like this made without the saw teeth remaining -- maybe using a wider blade, like an 8-inch diameter, and grinding the teeth off, leaving a very sharp circular blade. It would still be a scary weapon, but could also be used for chopping branches or kindling, or preparing a camp site. Just a thought.
you just made me think that if I stop playing games, sell my Xbox 360, and get into the real world, I can be helpful to others and help them bring out their creativeness and help others. keep doing what you do.
This video inspired me to make my own version kind of like this except using a bicycle sprocket and the handlebars off a scooter and it could split a log I was very surprised at how effective it was and it was completely free Thanks @zednoughtalpha your videos are awesome
i think your message at the end was awesome. i have been creating weapons and just stuff for a long time. it is fun, and it helps you learn to create other things just by getting ideas from trial and error. then through error you do research and learn even more. keep inspiring people to create. good work.
Wow Eli. I was waiting for a tutorial video like this one. I've made one myself with a fresh new look and it works perfectly. Thank you so much and keep up the good work ;D
I liked your philosophical breakdown at the end of the video about expressing your own creativity while living a sensible life, and giving no consideration to the haters. Live and let live. It takes every type of person to make the world turn. You are a likable person, and seem like a very cool dude. I had to subscribe to your channel. You should see the homemade chain whip that I composed. I used a front vertical rifle grip for the handle, and merged it with a self defense kubaton keychain so the handle has knuckle spikes and a skull crusher pommel. I used a relatively thick dog choke chain for the whip itself and added a .50 cal round as a weight for the tip.
im a welder by trade, and you are right on about the gloves. if you get cut by a grinder its gonna rip your skin and be pretty nasty, however it will not be as bad as it could be if a glove gets caught and and traps your hand next to the grinding wheel.
Tomahawk is awesome, but I subscribed/shared because of the last three minutes. That is deeply inspiring, and sounds like you had a LOT of time reflecting on yourself and others to make your conclusions. Kudos!
Also a trick for you a lot of times you will mess up your threads when you cut a bolt in half like that, put the nut on the bolt all the way down before you cut it and when you take the nut off it will restore your threads
Yeah i made one. This was a great video and an even greater help in my build. Plus i got more ideas due to the inspirational creativity you brought. Thank you my good man.
Hey, you probably won't reply or even see this comment but I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your content, I've been watching for almost 2 years but I'm coming back and watching your earlier videos I haven't seen yet. I'm a huge fan and have made some of my own weapons because of you videos: (pvc bow, spear, hunting arrows) with my own modifications and some other stuff like ninja stars. You've inspired me to start a hobby I now really enjoy. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do and I'm a huge fan :)
instead of a lock washer (btw the washer technique you use gives some "bind", but it isn't sprung like a lock washer), using a nylon insert nut eliminates the washer need.
Yes this weapon does look cool and from a cosplay POV I give this props it looks good and I would use of for decoration but not for practical use, this is because of all the little ridges on the saw blade it would not slide very well also it would most likely get suck due to all the ridges on the saw blade but again cool design good job
Hey im 13 years old and i really like the stuff you do,your so cool and you probably wont read this but i watched this video and the speech you said at the end gave me the inspiration .thankyou.i like armoury and all stuff like that you gave me some good tips thanks again.:)
Awesome video!!! I've only watched this one and you are already my favorite UA-camr!!! That's exactly the kinda of thing I love doing! Being "weird" (even though your not actually), making cool looking weapons just for creativity, using them to make movies (even though I haven't made any yet, I've been planning to for quite a while), and going to church! :D you are cool as!!! Inspiration!!! Thanx for such an awesome vid! :D
Looks cool, makes me think of the saw-axe from Borderlands, probably less usefull in actuall combat, BUT, would be a thing you could put on a wall with the other things and say "I made that"
That's a really cool pizza cutter.
Radu ha ha! yeah, scince it isn't rally the most successful project
If you loosen the bolt you can make it spin.
Jonny 5 :3
True lol haha 😂

Whether it's weapons off a video game or being a gunsmith or even a carpenter. It's a good way to release stress or even emotions in a healthy way. I respect that.
Finally I see a comment with some sense
I appreciate that.
jake hanson being a gunsmith is very dangerous though and if you aren't careful or trained you can get blown to bits by a squib bullet or backfire...

This is exactly what you should be gearing your vids toward. Weapons / projects that are already popularized by the media!

Wouldn't it be called a " sawmahawk"?

The speech at the end got you a like good sir.
This is the first ZNA video I've ever watched. I was thirteen then and now It's 2017 and I'm still watching him. Pretty crazy how time flys.

I agree as heck, I’ve been watching cense homemade weapons 1, now it’s 2022
I agree as heck, I’ve been watching cense homemade weapons 1, now it’s 2022
I loved that talk at the end. Kinda made me tear up. Good job on the weapon too, and I'll make sure to put my spin on your idea. :D
That speech at the end was very inspirational. Alas, the furthest I've gotten into weapon crafting is making microserrated blades, screwdriver throwing darts, and attaching a couple feet of shoestrings to the lanyard hole of a pocket knife to make a makeshift rope dart, all dangerous objects, but all for the purpose of learning how best these tools work. I thank you for being such a great person, even during these days of your life.
The last part, it was extremely inspirational.
I really like this kid. he's respectful and down to earth and he seems like he really cares about the viewers. BTW I love the weapon builds. keep up the good work 👍.
Great work, man! You make such oddly beautiful works of art! I'm currently designing a sword based off my own katana, called the apocalypse katana which I hope will combine the traditional aesthetics of the sword with the drab of a junkyard. It's looking great!
Cool, sounds like a cool idea!! :-)
I'm inspired.
I used to make weapons when i was a kid, this build takes me back 30 years!
Awesome kid.
I'd love the blades to be spinning though!!!
Something about a saw blade. Years ago my son asked me to design a weapon for a movie he was filming with friends. Character needed something she had thrown together using only garage items. I looked around and saw a 12" rip saw blade and a youth size wooden baseball bat. Easy enough. Everyone was blown away at how wicked it looked. Stumbled on your video and had to check it out. Great job, and very artistic.
Wise words coming from a wise young man, Well done.
nice speech at the end man, and I subbed. (didn't wanna die)
I really like this kid. he's respectful and down to earth and he seems like he really cares about the viewers. BTW I love the weapon builds. keep up the good work.
Thank you eli for all of the good videos
Did you ask this before seeing the end of the video where I explained why I'm not giving exact measurements or templates?
Love the bit at the end where ya talked about making weapons!! I would love to teach you about knife and tomahawk throwing/making let me know if you are interested!
Coming back to watch older videos like this after watching your newer videos it’s amazing to see how much you’ve improved and grown
I personally prefer using a plasma cutter rather than an angle grinder. It works much better and much faster,
man i got all nostalgic rewatching this, I'm so glad your living the dream, I know its hard now with all the demonetization and crud but still, congratulations! you're actually doing what you love for a living! whether its tomahawks or coffee tables i've loved every video and i cant wait for the new ones!
Oh you poor, naïve person from 4 years ago… YALL AINT SEEN NOTHING YET
you have my full respect
I made something similar to this, but instead of using sheet metal as the backbone of this build, i used some pipes, fastened with bolts. In order to make the sawblade extend outward like the one on your tomahawk, i used sections of aluminum, also fastened with bolts to the main pipe.
I really appreciated what you said at the end of the video about people like you and I making stuff because its cool and fun, its really great to hear that from someone who already has such a huge footprint on youtube so far. Love the vids and content. Great work as usual
... Nice one.
"Well, God gave me this leather! Oh! I found one that's like a handle! Thanks God!" - Not exact quote.
I dunno why but I really like this one especially. I think it's the embellishments and the brown leather that add a certain flair. It's super cool!
Dayum he looks muscular
major gains
Irish Wristwatch okay..... (Me too)
Check your phonebook for metal suppliers, you'll have a wider selection at a cheaper price.
Nice! Good work young sir. Small tip for you.... when cutting a bolt, thread the nut on before you cut (if space allows). This way when you remove the nut (prior to install) it will clean the threads up for you. It makes for an easy re-thread. Keep up the creativity.

Seriously dig your stuff Eli. Love how you challenge and encourage people to do their own thing and use their creativity. Means a lot to see someone creating and using their gifts. Keep it up bruv!
You make cool shit..
you mean cool poop? cause his tomahawk was " bad butt"

Bingo.
Chris Murphy lol he was censoring himself for the little kids who watch this. because as he said. he was making things like that at 12 so in his eyes some 12 year olds may watch this and might wanna build this

Partially true, but I keep it clean mostly because I'm a Christian. A bonus is that my videos are family friendly.
Chris Murphy stfu cuz you dont know how to make shit hatter ass nigga
the holes in the sawblade is to stop it from cracking when it gets hot. since everything gets bigger when it gets hotter and the blade will get diffrent temprature in the middle and the edge it needs some space to ''grow''

Amazing craftsmanship and awesome art. Yes these are weapons and yes they do have a bad persona for violence but this is truly art. Taking objects and making your thoughts and feelings is amazing. Thanks man
Liberal anti-gun people need to hear this guy's message about weapons.

Now you are a true craftsman and artist. I hope you can use your talent through out entire life. And I wish you good luck my friend.
cant tell you how much i liked the last couple minutes there. your absolutely right and im sure you will one day be a professional youtuber. im going to share your channel and recommend it in my vids from now on. keep up the good work man.
Dude you are like the hero for my inner creationist. I think your videos are absolutely amazing and I hope u keep these videos going
Damn. Cool, nice, helping, and even talking to us about creative outlets! I love dis guy.
Very cool Eli this has the aesthetic similar to the game and it’s honestly cool as heck glad you made this keep up the work man I know the memes have been dry recently but you’ll pull through
I love your channel
The fact that you try to connect with your viewers
You have talent
Right, I've been watching a few of your videos now, and I'm done hiding.
This was awesome, what you do is awesome. Most of my time searching videos are either of cats or people's creations.
Creative people are awesome. :P
Also, nice speech at the end, that was pretty chill.
Have a subscriber.
I can't wait to see what other awesome stuff you come up with. :D
Wow man, i'm more drawn in by your speech at the end, this is the first of your videos I've watched and i love it.

out of anything i have seen i like your weapon videos the most.
also to help with your drilling you can get a set of center punches they come in a set of various sizes you put it in the place you plan to drill and tap it with a hammer then you can drill with out the bit wandering
The end is so true! I like to make gadgets like flashlight watches and flashing bow ties and some people think it's weird, but most people just think it's cool :)
10/10 i like the speech at the end. even though i don't make anything i just think that the stuff you make LIKE SERIOUSLY! YOUR LIKE A BADASS!
Right on with tithing. And right on with church. I appreciate your creativity, sir.
LOL! Yes, I think you're weird, but I love your creative artistic talent! Thanks for the inspiration- I have a 5-gallon bucket full of old saw blades and never knew why I kept them, just knew I'd eventually meet a cool guy like YOU who would give me a reason for not throwing them out. Thanks, and best wishes your way, my friend!
The cut outs on the saw blade give the metal enough room to expand when it heats up so it's less likely to warp
I think people like you who made weapons by themselves are awesome and cool.
Shaytober's been good to me so far, man.
Another awesome video. Thanks for the hard work man. I really appreciate it. The real talk at the end was inspiring. You're a good dude. Keep it up man.
Dude I like how you make all these awesome weapons, and you make them so beautiful. And the end of this video was a very pleasant change to the norm I've seen so far. Keep up the good work, and I might even try to make some of the easier ones myself, since I don't have many tools xD
The holes in the circular saw blade facilitate the expansion of the material during its high speed revolutions when cutting materials dude.
This video earned you another subscriber.
This vid deserves so much more views for such awesome craftsmanship!
Really good video. Even though a nut is a nut I still liked this and think that you are wise beyond your years. Appreciate the fact you went over safety concerns and no swearing. Keep up the good work.

You are so level-headed I admire that in you.
This video inspired me to make my own version kind of like this except using a bicycle sprocket and the handlebars off a scooter and it could split a log I was very surprised at how effective it was and it was completely free Thanks @zednoughtalpha your videos are awesome
Dude your vids are awesome and the reason behind it is that much more awesome. Keep it you man
nice job. they face the blade the other way so when its sharpened like a knife,it can remove limbs much easier. love ur videos, keep it up
best ending of a youtube video ever ... love you nonlethal =]
i think your message at the end was awesome. i have been creating weapons and just stuff for a long time. it is fun, and it helps you learn to create other things just by getting ideas from trial and error. then through error you do research and learn even more. keep inspiring people to create. good work.
Wow Eli. I was waiting for a tutorial video like this one. I've made one myself with a fresh new look and it works perfectly. Thank you so much and keep up the good work ;D
I liked your philosophical breakdown at the end of the video about expressing your own creativity while living a sensible life, and giving no consideration to the haters. Live and let live. It takes every type of person to make the world turn. You are a likable person, and seem like a very cool dude. I had to subscribe to your channel. You should see the homemade chain whip that I composed. I used a front vertical rifle grip for the handle, and merged it with a self defense kubaton keychain so the handle has knuckle spikes and a skull crusher pommel. I used a relatively thick dog choke chain for the whip itself and added a .50 cal round as a weight for the tip.
im a welder by trade, and you are right on about the gloves. if you get cut by a grinder its gonna rip your skin and be pretty nasty, however it will not be as bad as it could be if a glove gets caught and and traps your hand next to the grinding wheel.
Tomahawk is awesome, but I subscribed/shared because of the last three minutes. That is deeply inspiring, and sounds like you had a LOT of time reflecting on yourself and others to make your conclusions. Kudos!
Also a trick for you a lot of times you will mess up your threads when you cut a bolt in half like that, put the nut on the bolt all the way down before you cut it and when you take the nut off it will restore your threads
Yeah i made one. This was a great video and an even greater help in my build. Plus i got more ideas due to the inspirational creativity you brought. Thank you my good man.
Hey, you probably won't reply or even see this comment but I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your content, I've been watching for almost 2 years but I'm coming back and watching your earlier videos I haven't seen yet. I'm a huge fan and have made some of my own weapons because of you videos: (pvc bow, spear, hunting arrows) with my own modifications and some other stuff like ninja stars. You've inspired me to start a hobby I now really enjoy. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do and I'm a huge fan :)
Who cares
Obviously you because you replied. I just enjoy his content and wanted to comment.
+Levondean I agree with you completely. I only just started watching him, but I've been making weapons for years.
You're speech surprisingly reached me.. Got some more thinking to do. Thanks
instead of a lock washer (btw the washer technique you use gives some "bind", but it isn't sprung like a lock washer), using a nylon insert nut eliminates the washer need.
Yes this weapon does look cool and from a cosplay POV I give this props it looks good and I would use of for decoration but not for practical use, this is because of all the little ridges on the saw blade it would not slide very well also it would most likely get suck due to all the ridges on the saw blade but again cool design good job
Honestly you've given me inspiration to to make things, I've made my own riot shield and trench club just from watching these videos
Hey im 13 years old and i really like the stuff you do,your so cool and you probably wont read this but i watched this video and the speech you said at the end gave me the inspiration .thankyou.i like armoury and all stuff like that you gave me some good tips thanks again.:)
Awesome video!!! I've only watched this one and you are already my favorite UA-camr!!! That's exactly the kinda of thing I love doing! Being "weird" (even though your not actually), making cool looking weapons just for creativity, using them to make movies (even though I haven't made any yet, I've been planning to for quite a while), and going to church! :D you are cool as!!! Inspiration!!! Thanx for such an awesome vid! :D
Looks cool, makes me think of the saw-axe from Borderlands, probably less usefull in actuall combat, BUT, would be a thing you could put on a wall with the other things and say "I made that"
in my opinion i think this guy should have a shit ton more subscribers and ALOT of attention for the talent he's got :)
I love the ending man...
My parents think im sadistic when really i just love making homemade weapons
