Seriously man I just moved into a new house and the garage is all for me. Really gonna start building some of the things I've watched you build for so long. You inspired me man. Get well soon Uriel #prayforuriel
BK Gaming A garage to yourself really is a beautiful thing, huh? lol. Especially for me after the last few years of my channel have been filmed in my old 6'x8' workshop.
Nice build. I have to admit, I am always disappointed that you don't really show the build, just the finished pieces. I wish you would show more of the journey.
ZednoughtAlpha Haha, well yes. My point is that you tend to describe what you are going to do to a piece and then jump cut to after you have done it. Not always but it happens a lot.
Eli I hate how people criticizes you and make a big deal out of something that they dislike about your video. You worked almost every day to 12 am just so you can entertain us. Thank you. I hate how those people aren't great full for everything you do for us. I am sorry that this happens. We thank you for doing that, know that every one who likes your videos and is part of your wonderful community, loves you and has your back. We know that basic needs come first and you cant waste money every two seconds. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video, I actually did make shovel shoulder armor after watching this, grabbed two flat shovels for like 2-3$ each (8.50 onionlions in my curency) and (cold) hammered them so they don't look like shovels anymore, but proper armor. Never would think that some tools are such excellent source of steel. To be fair, I started building my fantasy metallurgist/blacksmith armor under the influence of your videos and it turned out pretty damn fookin great. So I wanted to say that you are great at motivating people to do what they always wanted to do and I am very grateful for what your vids did to me. PS.: Get well soon Uriel
Just saying love the format of these videos, showing the finished product first then the build. Good way to keep the audience interested! Good work my man!!
Hey Eli, I'm Daniel, I would like to know how to make a grim reaper-esque scythe. Not sure if it's even possible, but it seems like the kind of thing you would do.
***** actually a scythe if used properly is a great weapon you can trip your opponent and cut their Achilles tendon all in one motion, you can hook shields and pull them away, you can get to your opponents back from a downward slash if your close enough...etc very useful if you know what your doing
Your videos are sick I don't really even watch them to build what's in the videos I watch them more to get inspiration to build my own stuff I only have like a couple of videos on RU-vid of some crossbows I made but videos like this where what made me want to start building my own stuff thank you for making videos like this man you're awesome
Eli, I think you'd really get a lot of amazing use out of an English wheel, I haven't done much work with one myself, but i know its amazing for getting smooth curves in metal.. you know, for rounding shoulder pieces and whatnot. they put me to sleep using one, but the use of them is wildly versatile! Love the videos, love your work!
I love your channel and your dedication to armor crafting, but your health comes first. I was in the same spot you are now, I was 20 and thought I could do what ever..whenever. my job was very physical and demanding but I was young so I push myself to do more and be better than my co-works, you know for bragging rights. Now I'm 40 and I can barely stand, I've had knee replacement, back surgery, arthritis in both hands, suffer from chronic migraines and insomnia. Your young bro. Slow it down some, take care of you. This way you'll be around longer to make more awesome vids.
I hope you feel better Uriel! New subscriber... I really like the way you make your videos! I love your creed about not giving drawings or plans to promote creativity... I like the way you explain what you did and why you did it that way, and you even sometimes offer alternatives... you are very creative/talented! I'm not really a fan of the rivets, but hand made rivets, like your nail rivets, take much longer so I understand; although, the cutting and flatening of the rivets is a nice idea, not sure what durability is lost though... also, I watched several videos last night and could really see that you've learned a lot very quickly, but one thing I've noticed is that occasionally you'll rivet a strap outside of an armor plate at a hinge point, and this often just seems like an oversight. I realize, due to the thickness of your materials, that this is prop/cosplay armor, but having the straps so exposed leaves you with armor that is easily cut off... just an observation... I hope you find relief from your late nights, I have found no solution to my own... Keep up the good work!
Andrew C Ya know, a lot of people think that. I'd assume it's because leather is more expensive, they assume it's stronger. But you're really just paying for labor and style. Nylon straps however are much more affordable, and MUCH stronger. Even the cheapest straps are usually rated for upwards of 600lbs, a couple more bucks and you're looking at thousands of pounds. Leather is great, but Nylon webbing is superior in terms of cost and strength.
ZednoughtAlpha hope you get to read this but, could you show more of the actual process instead of showing the finished pieces, I'd really like to know how you do the actual bending and cutting and stuff. that would be helpful and even more awesome then your vids already are. Oh and get well uriel
Huh, so there's a website completely dedicated to selling the versatile plastic buckle. Welp, I guess I know what I'm doing for the next five minutes :|
Zednought Alpha I just have to say I've been watching your videos since the very beginning I haven't subscribed for a while, but I think your videos are awesome you really shouldn't stop, I don't know how people ever started hating on your videos, just know me and my friends think your Genius. Keep up the good shiz .
You might enjoy using the blue Walmart camp pad as your armor liner for future projects. You get a lot for $8 I believe, it's thicker and it's popular amongst foam fighters (like belegarth) for armor lining
Get well Uriel! Friendship is a huge asset for both parties involved. Thanks ZNA! I like that road warrior style. Check out the original Mad Max movies, if you have not already. Cool stuff
I'm not gonna lie, new to the channel but that intro made me laugh out loud so hard. Dig your work man. I've enjoyed every video I've watched so far. Keep on creating epic stuff man!
Btw bro I just found your channel and it is so freaking awesome I love the content of your videos and your humor is so hilarious it is really a pleasure to watch your videos thank you!!!!!!
I would recomend something to cover your elbows, nothing fancy, just a triangular plate bent to go around your elbows, not having anything there leaves you open to sharp blades being lead to your fleshy elbows.
Okay, I think I may have found one of my new favorite channels on RU-vid... You should try to make a helmet that's like a cross between something straight out of Mad Max combined with Loki's helmet. I think that would look really neat. I admire your work keep it up! Get well soon Uriel!
not sure if it's too late but I'm a new subscriber and I love your videos man!!! get well soon uriel. and keep making these vids dude! you inspired me to make a full armor suit as well.
funny and relevant monologue intro, useful information, well thought out resolution, 8/10 .post the fail video you mentioned so that we can learn what doesn't work and waste time trying it ourselves for a solid 9/10
