Plenty of people are saying it and I agree. Monetise the videos. We’re more than happy to watch an ad so you can better fund your projects even if most get demonetised.

Jorge needs to go to KZfaq headquarters and show them the features.

By looking at his expreession, he's clearly more happy now

I'm sure nobody would mind putting 5 second ads either with KZfaq or without it

Hey Jorge I hope things get better with the youtube

Love seeing our crazy German being genuinely happy)

That's one of the coolest slingbows yet! Some tips from a recurve archer. 1. Arrow points are usually glued in place with 'hot melt'. Simply heat the tip for a few seconds with a kitchen blowtorch, and remove. 2. Preparing arrows yourself is super easy, and cheaper than buying pre-made. Buy full length shafts (aluminium, carbon, or cheaper fibreglass, usually 31 inches each) and cut. You'll get many bolts from one shaft. Also buy nocks, points, hot melt, vanes and superglue for the vanes. These are all super cheap. 3. An arrow puller is way easier to use than pliers to get difficult arrows out of a target/enemy. The square ones are the strongest, but won't damage even lightweight carbon arrows. All archery shops or Ebay have loads of these. Hope this helps!

Absolutely genious... Jörg for Bundeskanzler! 👍

We love your channel. We are sad that KZfaq B.S. has stopped your full time KZfaq. We will always watch and like you videos as long as you post them.

Slingshot for Ikea meatballs.....

That ladies and gents is a fully, semi automatic, lever action crossbow

I just randomly realised upon watching it... this man... is THE example of a great human. Always stays strong and happy. Makes the best of everything. always supportive. Puts others firdt. Isnt only after personal gain. Etc etc. Mate. You rock

Enable ads again, you deserve a little extra money, we viewers don’t care if we have to watch a 5 sec ad.

Semi full auto. Love that reference.

it's absolutely refreshing to see you that happy. To me it seems obvious that you really enjoy the work as a hobbyist. However i liked your sponsered videos the same. Greetings from a true fan from nothern Germany. Bleib dran Jörg und mach weiter so!

I love how he takes old forgotten designs like this and breathes into it new life, not something most would do but he does it anyway.

This return to form is so refreshing. Love it!!!!!!

Let me show you its features....

9:12 when he smiled afterward... it's so innocent and happy. I'm dead.

When the crossbow at the beginning screwed up, the look on his face was priceless. Went from smile to "oh this is not good"

I love how educated he is in everything he does and makes. It makes the video so much more interesting when they know what they are talking about.

I would probably survive WW3 and WW4 with this guy!

Welcome back, Joerg! Nothing takes the joy out of a personal passion more than turning it into a job. Your sponsored videos were still great of course, but it was obvious that they weren't as fun for you, and it's great that you have more or less complete freedom (other than the TOS) to do what you want in your videos again.

the most practical (and probably the best) diy rubber powered crossbow for home defense. and because of the lever youcan make this even more powerful yet easy to cock/rearm.

Thanos: Life is inevitable *about to snap fingers* Joerg: *Let me show you its features HAHAHAHA*

If he enables ads they will flag his video as inappropriate for most advertisers. Then the video will get suppressed by the algorithm because it is also considered inappropriate for most viewers. By not monitizing he might get some youtube hits. Besides I really believe it's healthiest for him to have a reliable income. Just being spared of the stress and uncertainty of youtubes hypocritical system seems worth it to me

Joerge has a point. It's not worth the time to get KZfaq to monetize categories that they aren't interested in. I really respect how he makes a living and I hope he makes enough earnings for his projects. Joerge's video will remain as good as always. Quality content + ad free.

I recently had to make quite an elaborate tool to remove a seized in part of the suspension on my car. When I finished welding and grinding I picked it up and said "let me show you its features" and did a terrible impression of a Joerg laugh. Joerg, you are an inspiration to mad inventors everywhere.

Also ich MUSS in meinem Job schon kreativ sein, aber was DU da immer ablieferst ist nicht von dieser Welt, echt! Ich zöge meinen Hut, wenn ich einen guten hätte!!!!! Wünsche dir ganz viel Erfolg für alles was du machst!!!!!!!!!! halt uns auf dem laufenden bitte. Alles Gute für Dich, LG aus dem kölner Umland

Joerg, enable adds and feel free to take a sponsor every now and then when they ask you to make something you want. We all love your videos and you deserve a little bit extra cash.

Hi Joerg. I just want to say I love your channel. And I love you, man. You're without doubt the nicest German on the internet. Your good humour and enthusiasm always bring a smile to the face.

Thanks for continuing to do these videos, I really do enjoy them, and look forward to them! Keep up the great work!

Joerg, I fully support the direction your channel is going. You clearly are a person of integrity. I'm heading over to Patreon to add my monthly pledge now. Dankeschön.

Glad you are enjoying your transition to hobbyist! 😊👍🏻

You know what Joerg? I like you. You usually seem to be enjoying yourself and that really brings the video to life.

Man you are a hero, public domain and no adds, that's golden! Plus you seem genuinely happy on the new videos :-) Can only say good job and thank you

Love you Joerg. Keep making badass things.

It really shows you're enjoying yourself more, it's more fun for us aswell! I'm impressed by this design, it seems so effortless. That's how you know it's a good design. Thanks for the video!

i agree with removing adds, youtube is just becoming a safespace, and there is no point in trying to go through the emotional roller coaster that is trying to monetize videos of this nature. i respect you're choice.

Im surprised out of my mind that anyone had a problem with the sponsored videos. Its crazy. The sponsors were always interesting and 100% relevant, not some shaving cream or underwear.

I'm happy ur still doing KZfaq because I was terrorfied if u didn't get enough money for yt I thought u would quit for good I'm happy I didnt

Good old slingshot content, no crappy phone game stuff - We like it!

Finding the slingshot channel was a high point in my life!

Du wirkst so glücklich! Alles Gute für Dich Jörg !

Cool weapon. It is s shame how youtube treats such an outstanding channel with so many great inventions. 😡 However your newly won "freedom" seems to be really refreshing for your videos. Your enthusiasm and fun are even more obvious!

Always extremely entertaining, and fun! Great vid slinging blades!

Sponsored videos are completely awesome, I always love the stuff you review, usually barely resisting the urge to buy it. I want you to show me more cool stuff.

Loving the videos recently Joerg, you can tell you’re loving your work and taking the channel back to its roots which is amazing and as a long time subscriber (must be around 6 years now!) I really appreciate it. I agree with everyone else who says you deserve to make some money with your channel too though and it’s ridiculous that KZfaq won’t allow you to do so. Regardless thanks so much for all your work and videos over the years. We all appreciate it!

When your teacher founds gun in your bag: Let me show you its features

"...tissue harm" *smile*

Please don’t deny sponsors. We all really love your channel and want to see more.

From now on, this is my most favourite video on your channel. This crossbow looks incredibly cool!

Please show us how you built it, at least some photos of the mechanism would be great.🙏 I really love the design and I also want to rebuild it in a leafspring version😄👍

WE LOVE YOU GEORGE !!!!! Best channel around !!!!!

A massive g'day from Australia.. just wanted to say i love the crazy contraptions you make!!! Keep it up and thanks. Good work staying independent, standing on you're own feet solo, its the hallmark of a man! 👍👍👍

Always amazing designs. Love how your versions are actually better than commercially available counterparts. Almost every diy channel is a poor attempt at copying commercial products but yours is always better. Ive tried to make crossbows before but never trusted my trigger designs. This was years ago though when i carved everything by and and didn't have tools

Thats Some monster right there! Great job

Your laugh is the best 😂👍btw great video thanks for keeping us entertained

It’s awesome you don’t have ads!

Grüsse Jorg! Im watching Your videos two years on, and Im thankfull for Your effort and time doing it. Personally dont care for comercials and sponsorship because You're creating good content and its allways max fun! :) so do whatewer You have to,to keep this chanel rollonig.

A new video from Jörg! Today is going to be a good day 😁

Thats pretty quick! Faster than your Robin Hood attachment for the bows

Joerg you have taken so much trouble over the years glad to see you are back doing the classic format and enjoying yourself.I know not monetising might be like therapy to you. Just hope you can survive. Best wishes!

I wish I had a grandpa like you! You are the best!!

Cobra R9 is nice, but your improved repeater is better- I’d rather have yours!

I love this design! You're a brilliant weapons engineer, I would seriously consider purchasing one of these from you. Surely you must be making a decent income selling your ingenious devices.....

WE all like you Joerg.And watching your great design and engineering . Plus your great demeanor.

My dad and grandpa got me like 5 years of premium KZfaq so I do t see ads but if I did I wouldn’t mind watching a couple to support your channel, Joerg. I mean I know I’m not yer usual subscriber being a teen and female but I really like your wood work.

i really love and appreciate you ! Please be like this forever.

I guess that’s my way to improve my reputation in class

Such a genuine person. Love this guy!

My friend, your ideas inspire and continue to motivate! My boys and I shall always look forward to being shown the features and trying out our own discoveries!

Hello and welcome to another unmonetized video... HUAHHUAHHUAHHA

hi, i like to make weapons too but since i'm pretty young i don't use things that are too brutal and dangerous, i wonder what someone like you could do with bamboo scewers as ammo. of course you can modify them ^^ i use nails as tips. i hope you're gonna try it out and idk i love your stuff :)

I love how he says oops sometimes.

14:03 that "oops" makes me happy

The occasional sponsored video wouldn't be a bad thing :) Not sure if it would be worth it after tax though.. (I'm unfamiliar with German tax revenue)

9:21 Semi Fullauto with 30 caliber magazine clip in just a half second😜

is so fun the way he laughs when he shows the features

By fair the best KZfaq channel of all time I keep coming back every time for years now top notch

Wird es den letzten Teil zu den Messern noch geben? Da du ja nun keine Sponsoren mehr hast, hoffe ich dennoch drauf. Hatte eigentlich heute damit gerechnet.

Ich liebe deine videos

I swear jeorg's ingenuity is limitless.

I genuinely love the idea of taking old, but inherently intelligently engineered mechanical devices, and updating them with modern materials to see a further development of the concept. Next up: a metal version capable of hunting with. As you pointed out, Joerg, this wooden one is the fastest repeating crossbow you (and certain I) have ever sen capable of firing modern bolts. So at this point, there needs to be further development which would even further update the mechanical principles into a real world product. Not only for the sake of producing a repeating crossbow which would be used and loved by people who enjoy crossbow archery, or hunters who would love to have a repeating crossbow for the purpose of being able to fire multiple shots in rapid succession in case an animal charges. I think it should be done in order to prove that this ancient, and it is quite old, Chinese example of mechanical engineering functioned on extremely sound principles which if enhanced with modern materials is as good today as it was revolutionary then. May I recommend however, a modification rather than a linear handle to the action: a sturdy action bar for the lever which has multiple threaded holes for a bicycle style J-peg. That way, you can adjust the amount of muscle force required to cock the weapon according to arm length and also so you can manipulate the lever - with less reach being required. that should permit you to adjust the orientation of the lever to allow it to work against the power of the firing bands/power strings: without, as you pointed out, requiring an absurdly long reach. Maybe even enhancing the butt stock a bit and using screw in j-pegs on both sides so that the shooter can easily brace the butt stock to the chest than manipulate the lever with both hands: so that a release force equal to today's top hunting bows can be manipulated using this lever action - with less work and or effort than today's current variety of those same high powered hunting crossbows. Thus instead of having to brace a crossbow on the ground between shots, to cock the string, then carefully putting a bolt in place: the hunter or target shooter would instead load their bolts, aim, fire, brace against their chest, pull both j-pegs back and then immediately be able to fire again. I'd love to see an aluminum version of this capable of firing mini-bolts at 300-400 fps (91-121 mps) with broad-head arrows. That would certainly create deep enough wound channels for game hunting. A metallic version would also be capable of mounting more precise sights a great deal more easily as well since you could easily have mounting plates for precision sights consisting of just a small plate which bolts into place with hex heads. This essential design could require very little modification to become a sincere choice as a hunting crossbow.

WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR AN UPDATE ON THE AIR POWERED SELF DEFENSE PISTOL! Is it legal yet? What has happened????? Attempt #5

''You Have To Aim'' AHAHAHAHAHAahahAAHAAHAHhahHhahahHAHAHhahahahahHAHAHAAHAHA sooo god damm funny

Bravo Jorge ! Great work !

Oh my god, your creation looks awesome! I love the red and black theme.

Ikea penetrator🚀

When I was watching your previous video, I noticed a lot of wood splinters flying back past you and the camera. So, if you don't mind the suggestion, please consider some eye protection.

I love the expression on Joergs face at 1.03 as he imagines an ikea pencil redesigning his features.

that's pretty cool, i like seeing improvements on old designs

Herr Sprave sie schlimmer Finger 😂

45 Views? I am THAT early?!

Great to see you so happy Jörg! Life is good!

I've followed you for many , many years. You are a fantastic thinker and come up with incredibly practical and innovative ideas . Thanks you for making such inspirational videos

you should bring back your old intro by the way...

When iron sights are made of wood...

This is easily my favourite weapon that you have ever made! Gut gemacht 👏👏👏

This was so awesome! Awesome job there Jöerg!
