What a long, strange, beautiful journey it's been! Many of your films taught me something new and previously misunderstood stuff (and living in Italy, medieval museums are everywhere!) Here's to 500k more Tod, you deserve it :D

Been a big fan of the channel for a while! I’ll jump on the Patreon ASAP, gotta fund those replacement GoPros somehow. Also, just received my first Tod Cutler dagger and it’s great!

Congratulations Tod! Well deserved. We always watch all your new content. Good man. 👍🏻 Patreon is a great idea.

500k ... very well deserved Sir !

A patreon is a natural fit for this channel and your content - I'm sure it'll do really well for you. Congrats on the epic milestone, hugely deserved.

thanks for all the great work I'm 18 now and have been a fan of your videos for 2 years. You and your videos have inspired me to study history now.

Surprised you didn't have a Patreon set up already, this is the type of channel that could benefit the most from such service, from not only financial reasons but also from community input!

Cheers and congrats from the States. Great channel!!! Big Fan!!!

I loved your videos, especially shooting arrow ones! Well deserved 500k! Now we go to a million!

Congrats Todd! You were a spontaneous discovery for me during COVID, been a pleasure viewing since.

Video hadn’t even finished playing and I was signed up on Patreon. Happy to see the extra content and to fund future endeavors!

Congatulations to 500 k subscribers. What a number ! Well deserved ! :)

Godspeed you magnificent bastard.

Congrats on half a million!!! Your crossbow videos actually inspired me to make a slightly modernized rolling nut trigger system for a from scratch crossbow. Entire trigger system made form melted soda cans except for the two axles of course. Cant wait for you to hit one million for sure.

Happy New year to you and yours.

Congratulations! So happy to have been a part of this journey from the beginning!

Love your videos on KZfaq and love your knives, maces, etc that you craft and sell. I am a proud owner of a Todd dirk, mace, "pig from the crest of a helmet" statue, among other items and I can't recommend it enough. Cheers on hitting 500k!!! On the internet its easy to forget each of those 500k is an individual person and that each of the views and comments on your videos are people taking time to watch you. Your channel growing is a testament to the quality you put out. Looking forward to more videos and more great products!

Congratulations Tod. I'm happy for you. Hope you success continues to grow.

Of all the Hema channels, this has to be one of if not my favorite. Nothing against other channels, but they are all usually theoretical, discussions, discussions of things from books, or concepts, or theories. This channel is entirely practical experiments, true experimental archeology, and I feel like the whole HEMA world has learned a lot from this channel. I know I have. I feel like I understand the fuller context of how ranged weapons worked on the medieval battlefield than I did before. It cleared up so many misconceptions for me, especially about crossbows in particular. I'm hoping my game has the most historically accurate crossbows ever seen thanks to this channel.

500 000 ! I am so happy you did it . Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experiences . Good luck for the next 500k and hope to see you soon .

Congrats Tod I have loved your content for several years now and would gladly join your patreon when I can. I understand its one of the only ways for you guys to drive revenue outside of ads

MASSIVE congratulations!! 👍👍👍

Awesome! I'm also glad to see you have finally started a Patreon page. All signed up and happy to help support this content.

I really wish i could donate, But im happy your still putting videos om yt and not pay to learn like, some others.... But i understand still wanting to thank them by giving behind the scenes, thats fine... *hears the longer videos part* why isn't more of that on yt? We love more information and with promising format like you longer means .orw info and not just waste of time that can be cut down, Then again you give us all the information we need in your videos and i trust you to continue,

_Congrats on 500k Tod, you deserve it!_ 👍👍

Ill always watch a TWS video, since almost the start. Great ride to this new beginning. You are a great man.

Congratulations on this well deserved achievement. Your content is worthy of at least a half million more.

Good for you! Next,make it a million!

Well deserved. You and your homies are GOATs. Your videos always brighten my day. Thanks.

just found this channel. really cool channel. shared it with my bro hes really into medeival stuff. congrats on the 500k subs well deserved.

Happy for your success man, keep making this quality level content and you'll keep growing that number!

Congratulations on you Todd, and here's to a million.

According to KZfaq just now it is 500K! Congrats!

i saw 500k subscribers and was instantly confused thinking "there is no way tod only has 500k subscribers" but wow, you deserve far more!

If there was a £3/$6AUD tier with some content I'd be happy to subscribe to your Patreon, but at $13 AUD I'd have to drop a couple of smaller creators. Just a thought, and it may be way too much work to add the lower tier for it to be worth it, so no pressure, it just might ve something to consider.

Congrats for a well-deserved success! I have been so glad to see my rapier and dagger discussed here with Matt Easton 😎

wow, congrats tod. three years of my own here, and i've just bought my first piece of tod cutler for the holidays. Cheers mate.

Congratulations on your milestone! Thank you for sharing the journey! Happy Holidays!

Whoo! :D 500k is amazing!

Well deserved, congratulations!

I don't even remember how I first found this channel, but I've enjoyed it ever since and watched nearly every video. I'm poor right now, but I'm interested in donating to your Patreon as soon as I can change that.

Congratulations! Well deserved, everything you do is of the highest quality (even when we argue about details in the comments). The only travesty is that you're missing a 0 in that subscriber count! A Greek Fire video should certainly be exciting, and I'm looking forward to it immensely.

12 years, goddamn. I dimply remember when this was still todsstuff and I saw the ballestrino video (and many others, machining more than historical).

Congrats on the Patreon page, at this time I can't join but will when I can.

Congratulations 🎉😊

500k this channel deserves millions

Well done. Deserved...well deserved

History and anthropology were the classes that I was excited about while in high school and college. This channel is the application of my favorite subject into real life research! Thanks mate!

congrats man, been a fan for the past year and i can't wait till i have enough to get a sword from you, keep up the great work

Congratulations on 500k! Its definitely deserved! I always get a little nervous when my favorite content creators announce paywalls like patreon and letting fans with money (and not necessarily brains) directly influence content. While I will always have reservations for such paywalls, I understand the necessity and I trust your judgement and passion for sharing knowledge. Cheers! 💚

Congratulations, Tod. Well deserved mate.

Congratulations!

Congratulations Tod

Congratulations on reaching 500k subscribers, Tod.

Well done Todd.😊

Congratulations on your 500k :) Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.

I first saw Tod on Junkyard Wars (aka) Scrapheap Challenge! been a long jurney since then.

A great big hearty CONGRATULATIONS, Todd! Really appreciate all you do: cheers! BTW, I'd love to see you implement my idea for trebuchet ammunition improvements from previous videos, namely utilize existing golf ball dimple patterning carved into the bowling balls to make them modernly more accurate! Cheers, sir!

Epic milestone. Grats

Congrats, you have earned it.

congrats mate! very well deserved, here is to 500k more. cheers! looking forward to the future of this channel ( especially what i assume is boiling oil for the potentially explosive video next year )

Congratulations! You deserve another million at least! Seriously, this channel is my absolute favorite for the sort of experimental archeology that you do here - it's just always great to watch. Cheers!

Subscribing because I used your videos when teaching a High Middle Ages class. The students really connected with you and Joe shooting bows and crossbows, made the reality of that part of medieval warfare come alive.

would like to see further range for bow vs armor like real life situation in medieval

500,000 is incredible, congrats.

Congratulations Tod, you absolutely deserve it, love your videos!

Congratulations! And finally, you've given your fans the opportunity to support you and participate in your projects! How great to be able to pitch in a bit. Thanks for all the many exciting films you've made for us. And, of course, as the year comes to a close, Merry Christmas to you, your team, and your beloved ones. I wish you all a happy, healthy, lucky, and successful new year full of joy and great projects!

Congratulations Sir.

You provide interesting, informative & entertaining content...& 'They' shall come!

Grats!

This is one of the most interesting and informative channels I've discovered on youtube. I watch every one of your videos. Here's to 1 Mil!

Congrats Tod!!! Well earned milestone and aging like fine wine!

Cool. Good for you. Glad to hear of your continuing success. You do good work; you deserve your success. Best wishes and looking forward to your production in the New Year.

I have been a subscriber for a while love the channel Mr Todd

Add hats like the one you're wearing to the merch store; I'd buy one!

Finally Patreon!

I remember when this channel was a measly 150k . Look at you now Todd. I just wish I had enough disposable income to buy from your shop. Keep it up and I look forward to every single upload.

I think I have been following this channel for the past 10 years. It has always amazed me how high the quality of your channel is, and I have wondered how come more people wasn't following. Well people are following now, and it is very much deserved that you now have almost the same number of followers, as there are people living on Malta! I am sure in a few years, that you will have doubled that number! Three cheers for Tod and his workshop!

Congrats! Love the channel!

Thank you for all the great and interesting content Tod, it's been a fun ride :)

Cobgratulations!

Congratulations, Todd. You have well deserved and earned it

Dark and Darker, Video Game inspired to research the weapons, and found your channel, its very interesting of what you do, and would like you to do what you do.

Nicely done! I am really glad that more and more people are getting to see the great content that you make.

Outstanding achievement, Tod! Congratulations!

Congratulations.

Congratulations Tod ✝️🇺🇸😀

I am going to subscribe to this, 500k subscribers is a huge achievement. I know people often think that popular youtubers automatically = lots of money but I'm pretty sure that the amount of effort that goes into this channel makes it primarily a labour of love, it'll be cool to help them keep making content and fund new and bigger experiments, because it's both great entertainment and genuinely always fascinating, and it will stand the test of time.

Congrats.

that was a really good patreon ad

Congrats and well-deserved Tod!

It's a fine channel, the sort of content that the BBC should cover !

Congratulations Tod! Well deserved 😄👍

Congrats on 500k, well deserved.

Congratulations Tod - you deserve it!

I am actually shocked you just reached 500k. Ive been following you for years and I was so sure you've had at least 500k for a while. just judging from the quality of your videos you should have so many more! keep it up :)

Congratulations Tod, that's fantastic news.

Hi Tod, congratulations with the sharp corner, you realy deserves it. I have followed you for years, and remember you back from the Scrapheep Challence. Which i realy liked a lot. ;o)

Nice! Congratz!

Bump!
