I Made a Gun Stock War Club to Fight Off My Responsibilities 

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)

Woodburning and linseed oil is a game changer, I really appreciate this look. God bless you my brother in Christ 💟

I’ve been watching that meme a while now so the fact you started the video with it was all I needed thank you

He has returned.... seriously needed this today. See you next year my man.

Your editing skills really are some of the best on RU-vid in my opinion. Doesn't matter what you're making, it's always entertaining to watch.

I can already hear the table saw enthusiasts angrily slamming their keyboards after watching you put that wood through without the push stick thingie

It's good to see Eli loosing his mind In a lobster boiling in cold water kind of way. :)

Honestly Eli makes some of the most amusing videos without being corny as. God bless your marriage

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

"Makes u appreciate how skilled Native Americans were with their drill presses" i laughed so hard, most of our "wood drilling" was a hot piece of charcoal being blown on with a reed tube 💀

I love that you included Alec Steele, and jeorg sprave

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.

Next years video “how to make a recording schedule from rebar”.

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.

Very relatable. Sometimes I make Sawblabe Baseball Bats to fight off my insecurities.

God that intro was amazing, love your vids man

17 thousand years have passed and now a new godlike weapon, the warclub of eli, has appeared from some shed in america

This is the only guy who I actually sit and listen to when they're advertising. He's so entertaining.

Your editing skills really show in this video. Glad too see you having fun making something epic!

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 RU-vid community you created. Also thanks for being awesome 😎.

My brother in Christ, you do you and we'll keep watching. There is no filler, just content. No procrastination, only side projects.

I have watched this video like 3 times this week cause I’m stressed about work and your videos always just relax me.

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 RU-vidr 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!

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.

could not of used a zna more today. God bless Eli

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.

Yes it’s been a while since I’ve caught one of your videos, great stuff

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!

That FRICKING opening. Too good.

"you sprinkle a chive on a piece of duck, lookout ladies" best hello fresh ad ever.

Maaaaan, I would’ve paid quadruple the price of creator clash to see our op bald character in the ring.

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

Dude, you are so good at blacksmithing now.

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.

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

I love your humor! Great video, as usual! Always informative, inspiring and entertaining!

I’m so happy that you’re still going man! Your videos are always Inspiring!

"a room temperature knife going through hot butter" made me lose my shit.

Eli, can you PLEASE make a video showing how to make a steel finger-grooved handle?

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!

The slingshot channel joke! Too good 🤣🤣

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.

“SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSICK OF MAKING KNIFES” 😂💀

Being a hobby chef: The duck was not done/ready. Being a long-time ZNA watcher: Nice vid bro, keep it going. :)

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.

I really enjoyed the Günther song when you applied oil 👌👌

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

This was a blast, I seriously dug the textured blade.

Our lord. We hunger for more bald creative wholesome Content. Please 🙏

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.

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.

"I can turn anything into a weapon, even this rifle!"

I needed a laugh. Thanks man. Ive been a fan since I was a wee lil boy. I don’t watch often but sometimes I’ll think about ya. I don’t know how I came across your channel in like 2013 but I am happy I did. Lots of content and ideas that motivated me personally to be creative with what I have and it’s been fun seeing you change. From parkour in parks dressed like sponge bob or Walmart smiley face. Fun nostalgia

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

Beautiful work on that piece of club 😊❤

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

TRY THE LINSEED OIL MIXED WITH PINE TAR... GIVES IT A DARKER LOOK DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH IS USED.

I love all your projects man your making me rethink the burning style for my own stuff

day was garbage till i saw ZNA posted!!

Dude ive been needing one of these forever

Missed seeing your vids. Hope the wedding goes great!

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

Lol unironically you should open a wedding registry and allow us to be able to send you gifts 🤷🏻‍♂️

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 memetic warfare introductory montage was straight slappin

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.

As a lover of the slander meme, this channel, and other channels like it, thank you for the incredible crossover.

Thumbnail composition is on point.

Dude those intro memes were great. We youtube diy connoisseurs recognized everyone 😂

Me and my dad made a guitar a used the same technique and it turned out fantastic and its lasted for years and has protected it great

I would definitely watch a ZNA and Colinfurze collab video. That'll be an epic crossover

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

5:05 This kind of stuff is why I love this channel so much. That had me giggling like a goober for a while.

Thank you much very ZNA for uploading

that editing is crazy good

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

8:42 I swear I thought u dipped a hot dog in there lol

that edit at 9:15 clean af, i see ur minmaxing that viewer retention game

Can confirm. I watch essential craftsman and i have fond memories of riding dinosaurs to school

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.

I really wish RU-vid 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

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.

i didnt know there were memes for the build youtubers but damn that shit killed me

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 👍

Oh how have I missed that fabled montage music, vid is 10/10 please keep up the great work

0:07 Really made me laugh Thank you

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.

that slander bit at the beginning was geniuses lol

that intro was awesome, good to see you back ellie

Would be awesome to see another pistol grip build video would love to a shockwave raptor grip and forearm wood build!!

That intro killed me

@ZNA production u are the all time best RU-vidr 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

2:04 I didn't even realise till I played back

That ironclad industries one is accurate af

That's actually really cool. Reminds me of that paddle looking Aztec sword with the jagged break off pieces

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

"Kinda like that first knife I made-" which one, the drop point or the orc-cleaver you made in the ground? Lmao
