You Will Regret Asking For This (Odd Jobs #3.5) 

Dear Eli, it's time to realize that many of your viewers (me included) have been here for years. We might've started watching for your weapon or armour builds, but we stayed for you. Your humour, your personality, your style of editing, etc. This means we'll enjoy whatever video you make! Be it odd jobs or a crusader armour build. Keep it up and congrats on getting such a sick sponsor. I know it hasn't always been this way, so I'm glad to see you earning some bank.

This was about 50% more engaging than I expect from an oddjobs video, stop being so good at this please

"When you unsubscribe, don't come crying to me" part had me subscribing even harder 🤣🤣🤣

Eli: this is boring stuff *sticks entire Bowie knife into furnace*

We'd love just more videos as we're here for your personality as you make the videos fun and enjoyable (also the editing and music is fantastic wll bloody done my dude)

I can't decide if Eli just pretends to not even try, when all he does is release top tier content. Or if he's just so blessed that he literally cannot make something that isn't funny. I'm thinking it's the former. We appreciate the effort Eli!

"I think there's a gas leak in here" *proceeds to use multiple tools that involve fire and one that involves sparks while guiles theme plays in the background*

Dear Eli, When I get your notifications, I don't necessarily think "Sweet, a video about making knives/armor!", I think "Sweet, another video from Eli!" Don't stress about content being inadequate or boring, your personality and editing is what makes it great. Sincerely, Internet Stranger

I've been here for a while and I've seen you grow and develop over the years, but there's this thing you have that both helps and hurts you, and its how critical you are on yourself. Its great because it will push you to do better and better, but its damaging because the standard you sometimes hold yourself to is so high that it feels like you consider it a failure to not satisfy everyone. You make great content, man. You've come so far. This was fun and enjoyable to watch. Your editing was great, the music was on point, your humor came through, and the more casual feel of the video was refreshing. Its nice to see a mix up every now and then. And personally I enjoy side projects like your pull up bar. Its fun to watch you just throw some stuff together real quick.

I had a friend who unalived himself a few years ago and he got me into blacksmithing and knife making. It’s nice to see you still at it all these years later. I appreciate your content. Thank you. Your videos mean more than you know.

Something about your humor and workflow is just great. You could upload a vid of yourself going to the store to get a gallon of milk and it'd probably be soothing and fun to watch.

Now i know what to get my wife for valentines: "but honey you got me knives for christmas" "yeah but this ain't the junk i make, this is really good stuff"... in all seriousness she loves knives and would seriously apreciate me giving her a non hunting/utillity/fighting knife i made

I found your homemade body armor video a long time ago, and I've made sure to stay subscribed. Great video as always, keep it up!

I was gonna say push ups for the productive, not time consuming, time-taking, not (super) addictive task because it requires no equipment, but that's just me. Great video, Eli. You SHOULD make more videos about the "boring" stuff you gotta do -- we, your fans, would love it (especially because ya gotta consider that we'd get more content that way, and we kinda crave it).

Two videos in like 2 weeks. Best weeks ever!

Has been a minute since I watched a vid. Good to see that you're still grinding

Have been subbed since before the hiatus and watched everything you uploaded. I’m not here for the builds, I’m here for the humor and personality. Upload literally anything and I’ll watch it.

We’re really here for your humor and personality, i’m sure at least 80% us never have made anything from you and probably never will, BUT we still love your vids so we still wanna see this type of shit

I don't think this man understands just how much we love any and all his videos. At least those who have been watching him forever. I could watch pop rivets all day and be entertained.

The thing is a good part of what I love about the videos is just his personality and the editing. I actually don't watch any other building channels

I enjoy your videos for your comedic affect, editing skills, and personality more so than the builds often times. Upload whatever you want, we dig your channel for Eli.

Aight, I don't normally comment, but I gotta. Bro, I love your content. I'm in love with the editing style and the personality that oozes off the screen. I've been subscribed probably since the whip video a while back. Please don't stop. I love hopping onto youtube and seeing you uploaded. It's a highlight of my day! Just do what you love and We'll back you up homie!

ODD JOBS yes icing on the cake for the day!!!

Man I've been watching you on and off for idk how many years now and your quality has just only gotten better. Your ability to capture angles and make simple things enjoyable is amazing Keeping being a stand-up guy!

I've been subscribed for years now. I'll watch anything you make, the edits and jokes are always top teir and watching your progression has been awesome. Keep this shiz coming for the consistency for youtube algorithm and I'll watch it all.

I started watching your stuff way back when I was in highschool, I remember watching the stop sign buzzsaw axe and the penguin hammer with the parachord handle. Makes me happy that you're channel has grown so much since then and your still making stuff, not to mention you still got the same great sense of humour

You could start reviewing cleaning supplies and the fans would still watch, we love you Eli!

Bro it’s like 4 am, and this is exactly what I needed

Dude this is great. I loved the old odd jobs and I love this. Let the sword stuff and weapon builds be a little cherry on top, cause consistency is what's gonna make you the money.

That editing is absolutely stunning. I love your channel.

I would actually like videos like this more often in between your longer cooler builds

Keep the editing and commentary on point and I’d watch you butter toast.

Love this video! Bruh, huge respect for the DIY pull up bar and the ease with which you were doing those pull ups is truly inspirational! I can do one pull up but now am inspired to get better! Thank you sir

Honestly Eli, I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m here to see you build whatever, it doesn’t matter what it is, I think Imma build a pull up bar too

im really glad to see you enjoying content creation again. shows greatly, and tbh when im in a down place and see you pulling yourself up (literally) and out. epic

Dang dude, I've seen more than a couple RU-vidrs shilling for Kamikodo, but you're the only one that actually made me want to own the knives. Well done.

Thanks for being one of the reasons I’m so interested in making things. I get paid to make stuff now. Honestly very rad that you still make videos.

When I've got like 5 minutes to burn but don't want to loose track of time, I find picking a song of similar length and just chilling to that one song. I've always had trouble with keeping track of time especially when I don't have a clock to look at, and have used music as a measurement for time for a while. Also works good if you make a playlist of a specific length for longer amounts of time like that, such as taking too long of showers which I was always bad for.

I noticed that your anvil was looking a bit rusty (cringe). I've found that paste finishing wax is an excellent way to keep the rust off of my anvil. It lasts so much longer than a layer of oil would (epic). Also, very enjoyable video as always (impressive pull-ups)!

This is “oddly” satisfying….. I’ll see myself out

Seriously I'd watch this all day! Keep it up! Get that money and buy her some flowers.

hey eli, this will get buried under comments but i just wanted to thank you for all the panic attacks and sleepless nights your videos got me through, you were a very large contributing factor of why im still alive, you save lives and your videos and personality are amazing, keep it up

This video proves that it's not the build we come for, it's you and your humor.

We really do enjoy this Eli. We don't really care if it's a new armour build or fixing a old project, we enjoy watching craftsmanship and learning techniques. Plus each video we get to watch is a way for us to help support you. SO, post more of what you consider to be the "boring stuff". We'll eat it up.

I just enjoy seeing people in their shops working! I don't care if you're making shelves, knives, bows, or just tearing something apart to see how it works! I'm down to see it!

Honestly, if ya started posting small videos about the jobs ya dont record I’d watch em because these are well nice, they may be “boring” to you but i thoroughly enjoy watching / hearing ya work on stuff. The editing is well done aswell and i always have a positive look on your videos. Keep up the great work c:

I love how you not only post cool as content I can work with, but when I ask for a song you post the link. You pay attention to your subs and that's why we love you

Everytime you upload, I drop everything I do. Love you man!

I really liked the video, and good on you for getting a good sponsor, I like the quality knives, and it fits well with the channel and the time.

I love Eli's videos even though the topic might not be what I'm in the mood for I still watch the video because the way he does his videos there always a joy to watch. I really do believe that he gets alot less recognition for how enjoyable his videos are because they are top tier.

Yo man! This was more than watchable! Make way more! Film every little project you do and post it. You'll get your traffic back with all the uploads dude!

No longer just a rando-viewer. I subscribed! I love "maker" vids, and the fact that yours are informative AND massively engaging and well edited made it an easy choice. Thank you and keep being amazing.

“I think theres a gas leak in here” *immediately starts to grind metal on a belt sander*

An alternate answer to your pullup bar dilemma is to pick a song close to the transfer/render time and dance to it. Definitely engaging, it's also exercise!

Great video thanks for letting us in on the "boring stuff"

III be honest this was entertaining, thank you for the content and keep up the great work.

You are putting way more pressure on yourself than anyone else. Of course we want to see you tinker on your knifes! No one expects you to be Kyle Royer. It’s been really fun seeing you progress from „look at me with my getto forge setup“ to „yeah, I make real knifes now“. Keep it up

I know you may think these types of videos are boring, though I treat your videos as a style of visual ASMR. I enjoy playing Runescape and having your videos in the background watching the process what ever it is. The editing and explanations are like a cherry on top to help me learn and laugh

I love that you still use Guile's Theme every now and then. Always takes me back, thanks for posting more videos!

Absolutely love this style of video actually! Thanks for another one!

I honestly am here for the personality and humor. And the blacksmithing is just extra.

just relaxing watching the sparkles fly and enjoying the music

Men show their love through sacrifice. To demonstrate this, I watched a TikTok ad for you. Keep it up buddy!

Awesome, a brand new video right when I get home from work at 4am, dope

Just found this channel again after 4 years and it still holds up, mad funny. Thanks for the nostalgia Eli

you have any idea how many videos there are out there of people just making things? People love this stuff. Every step. Film it all. It's so strangely satisfying!

You the only channel i still watch after 8 years, usually ill sub to someone an get bored of their content a couple years later but you my guy. You've still to this day have made very entertaining videos and I really do appreciate that. Good work, keep it up.

I don't just watch because you make good builds, I watch because you're a good entertainer and I enjoy listening to you talk. Really enjoyed this video.

This was thoroughly entertaining and engaging. Stfu and LET US SEE YOUR AMAZING WORK PROCESS

Hmm… I wonder if there’s something I could do to spend the 4.5 min that won’t get me distracted for hours. Proceeds to spend 3.5 hrs building a pull-up bar. That should do it! 😂😂😂 love ya man!

Really wild to see how far your blacksmith skills have come along in the time you've been on RU-vid. Very inspiring

I liked this a lot. I would be happy with more of this.

It's true. Guile's theme really does go with everything.

Just wanted to say this, at least once, I _love_ the segments with Guile's theme playing!

Great video! Loved the chin-up bar tangent and thought the music video editing was superb.

Make titanium armour plates with a 1/2 inch space inbetween the plates. And have solid armor plates with that built in 1/2 gap in to each plate. This makes the armour light and also more bullet proof.

I like the odd jobs and this one too the reason is cause of your editing and just personality you can build anything and as long its you ill enjoy it

He probably won’t see this but imma say it anyway, this dude is hecking awesome. I’ve watched him for years and he’s been nothing but humble and funny as heck. Like dang, chill out man.

Ayo! Super awesome to see that Kamikoto is sponsoring you! I'm likewise glad to see how much you've grown(smolpoc aside 😏) with your channel; as well as in your individual experience, skills, craftsmanship, and video production! It's been a chonky minute since I've watched(last watched sometime in the later months of 2021), but I'm gonna go on a binge watch when I get the time to. Keep up that quality grind ZNAprod. 👍🤟✌

Hot damn Eli ! I'm always impressed at how RIPPED you've gotten

I once again find myself pooping, and checking to see if you uploaded like I do every day. I'm never upset when you don't though, because it means I get to watch you make lawnmower blade cleavers again.

I come to this channel because I like your attitude and watching you work with metal. This was a good video.

Awesome stuff yet again!!!!! Thank you for the amazing video and have a great weekend Eli!!!!!

every bit as interesting, engaging, and funny as your main build vids. Editing 10/10 Music 10/10 as always. keep it up, man

Eli: Well yeah but you won't like it... Also Eli: S tier comedy, edits, and filming. True Alpha male

I could watch this man watch paint, h*ck I prolly have, and it would be S-tier content. Keep it up bud. Might actually have to cop a set of them knives for my mom for her birthday.

Eli, it's not even about what you're making or doing, you're just entertaining as a person

WE MISS THIS GUY. WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT.... GOOD ON YA MATE..👍👍👍👍👍👁

Not going to lie the song that plays while making the pull-up bar is an absolute drip and a half. Super awesome for working out.

word games like wordscapes are what I go to when I need to pass like 5 minutes. It expands your big brain and it gets really boring after like 10-15 minutes.

That pull up bar rocked my subwoofer. Nice ~

Video is 40% done. Street Fighter music enters. Video 100% upgraded. K'nifes are cool. Thanks bruh.

the editing on the woodworking montage was hella clean

24 and a half pullups is damn near elite teir, keep it up Eli!

Hey man I just enjoy your content because I enjoy listening to you in general. No matter what you put out I'd still like it

When the royalty-free lo-fi hits, I know I'm in for a good time. Legit.

You could make a video of you doing taxes, put your commentary & editing on it, & I would love it! Can't speak for everybody, of course, but I come because you're you, & you're so funny! The awesome mega projects you make are cool, but these mini projects are just as entertaining.

I loved this. I don't know why you don't think this stuff is awesome because I love it and I know everyone else does.

Dude, honestly, we all just need more Eli in our lives. Your content doesn't need to be all that interesting for the majority of us! I started following you to see more post-apo content, but your vibe and family friendly content gives me something fun and mild enough to watch around my kids! Numbers aren't everything, but it seems like 9.7k of us like you enough to watch your "boring content"

I haven’t even gotten past the ads and I’m already glad I asked for this
