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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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 :^)
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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''
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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
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
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
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"
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
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.
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.
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!
The hose clamps (embellishments) give you sharp edges close to your hand and all the other embellishments make it have things that stick to clothing, pack pockets, etc. your weapon concept up to that point was fine.
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.
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.
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!
I think that I would use a hardwood handle and dispense with all that metal work and be able to use somewhat less hardware in the process. BTW, most any glue or even paint or finger nail polish can work as a thread lock compound in a pinch. It's not like there's a lot of vibration causing the blade nut to loosen up in this application.
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
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
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.
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 😂
+Radu lol
This is exactly what you should be gearing your vids toward. Weapons / projects that are already popularized by the media!
GreekGadgetGuru Love your vids man!
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.

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...

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

The last part, it was extremely inspirational.
I'm inspired.
I used to make weapons when i was a kid, this build takes me back 30 years!
Awesome kid.
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!! :-)
This is peak UA-cam😊 These are are good memories!
Wise words coming from a wise young man, Well done.
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 👍.

... Nice one.
"Well, God gave me this leather! Oh! I found one that's like a handle! Thanks God!" - Not exact quote.
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
I'd love the blades to be spinning though!!!
Did you ask this before seeing the end of the video where I explained why I'm not giving exact measurements or templates?
I personally prefer using a plasma cutter rather than an angle grinder. It works much better and much faster,
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.
you have my full respect
You are by far, my favorite UA-camr Eli. No joke. You are such a great guy, and you do pretty freakin' cool stuff.

No prob. Glad you people appreciate what I do.

Check your phonebook for metal suppliers, you'll have a wider selection at a cheaper price.
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

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

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
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!

I love the ending man...
My parents think im sadistic when really i just love making homemade weapons
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
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.
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.
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
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''
Damn. Cool, nice, helping, and even talking to us about creative outlets! I love dis guy.
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
Right on with tithing. And right on with church. I appreciate your creativity, sir.
best ending of a youtube video ever ... love you nonlethal =]
I think people like you who made weapons by themselves are awesome and cool.
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.
I love your channel
The fact that you try to connect with your viewers
You have talent

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.

out of anything i have seen i like your weapon videos the most.

The holes in the circular saw blade facilitate the expansion of the material during its high speed revolutions when cutting materials dude.

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

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"
You are so level-headed I admire that in you.
You are by far the best motivational speaker I've ever heard your amazing
I have to admit, I didn't know what you were talking about either.
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

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
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.
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
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!
I think that I would use a hardwood handle and dispense with all that metal work and be able to use somewhat less hardware in the process. BTW, most any glue or even paint or finger nail polish can work as a thread lock compound in a pinch. It's not like there's a lot of vibration causing the blade nut to loosen up in this application.
I know this video is old, buddy. But it has earned you a new subscriber. I like what you're doing.
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
You should clean the face edges of the two plates with them sandwiched together.
You'll give them a nice even and mirror finish.
You're speech surprisingly reached me.. Got some more thinking to do. Thanks
Still probably your best work to be honest
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
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
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!
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.
in my opinion i think this guy should have a shit ton more subscribers and ALOT of attention for the talent he's got :)
This video earned you another subscriber.
This vid deserves so much more views for such awesome craftsmanship!
