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

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!

"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 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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).

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

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!

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!

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

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 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)!

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 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.

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

That editing is absolutely stunning. I love your channel.

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

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

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

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

Yeah odd jobs are cool and all but when are we going to get "even" jobs?

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

“You won’t like my day to day work video” ends up being awesome content

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

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

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

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:

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

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!

"just in time for valentine's day" Masochists: *now this looks like a job for me*

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

I find it rather cathartic to watch Eli do random quote unquote boring stuff

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.

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"

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I think you overestimate how interested we are in seeing the “ZOMG EPIC BU1LD!!!1!” and underestimate how much we like hanging out with our friend (one-way friend, but still…) Eli. Put whatever video out on whatever schedule you want. Just know that it’s you and not the builds specifically that we come to watch. So odd jobs are fine. Alpha mail is fine. Cool builds are awesome, but not strictly required by us.

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.

"I think theirs a gas leak" makes as many sparks as possible

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.

So I can just buy custom knives from you and watch hilarious footage of you making them? You are a knife collectors wet dream dude

It doesn’t matter if it’s boring people forget your channel exists if you don’t post something at least once a month

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

Came for the video, stayed for the music. Now I feel like me and Eli just saved the world together in an 80's buddy action flick. Cool.

the editing on the woodworking montage was hella clean

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

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

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

Which heathen is telling you this is boring? Loved this video.

I know I'm supposed to be bored watching this, but I guess that's how I know I've gotten old and boring... This is probably the most enjoyable thing I've seen all week 😁

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

An added bonus to your pull up bar, if you do it nekkid, you get wall splinters in a no-no spot.

just relaxing watching the sparkles fly and enjoying the music

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 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

Damn Eli's pull up game is insane, pumped out over 20 like it's nothing.

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.

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.
