    I just zip tied a motorcycle face shield from a touring helmet to my face cage. It fit absolutely perfect. Prevents pepper spray and people from grabbing your face cage. I weigh 240 pounds, I don't have to worry about them dragging me away, but I do want to avoid as much pepper spray as possible. The face shield only cost me $15, and you can get them in mirror finish and tinted if you want to look like robocock.

    Mr. Orzechowski,
    I am ecstatic to hear that your debt has been taken care of. I too know the stress of debt deadlines. I am sorry to say that I had missed your "annoying" video when it would have been most pertinent to have viewed. However it seems you have such an extensive support network that it obviously didn't matter. Your channel appears to be growing at an exponential rate. I remember seeing 400,000 subscribers just months ago. As they say, "the big will keep on biggering".
    As you obviously know there are and will be more challenges throughout your life, both devastating and insignificant. Keep on doing what you're doing Eli. Live for the lord, and people will notice.
    Praying for you -
    Brody Kaiser

      Dude that sounds awesome. I really do love the look of the Zombie Killer by Yuna Knives (goofy name but awesome blade). the fixed blade with the forward point. But if you want dude, just make the most impressive thing you can with your own personal style, send it to my P.O box, (P.O Box 1082 West Chicago IL 60186 United States of America) and I'll feature it on ALPHA Mail for everyone to see.

  • @emotisean
    @emotisean Před 7 lety +635

    WARNING DON'T UPLOAD TOO MUCH ELI AND PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON SUBSCRIBER BURNOUT. Find the Game theory vid and watch it because its absolutely real. It is very real and I dont wanna see you work your ass off only to realize that uploading 4 times a week, isnt actually bringing your earnings up. For me personally and your other bigger fans, Ill literally watch every video your in, I love you, but for your bulk of subscribers, they may not be as such. Just a youtube algorithm thingy. Also Eli, much of your fans just want to see you and BE with you as your FRIEND in the shop (like you said we are all just your friends paying for each other's meals.) The shit you did in this video wasnt a super cool long epic build or anything, but in my mind it was still as enjoyable (srsly). So please for the sake of your fans DONT work your self into the ground. Just put out a decent video with you being honest, trying to accomplish something at least a teeny weeny bit challenging, and bring your witty commentary along, and you'll easily bring your earnings up by putting out 3 of those a month, and one Uber cool build a month (just to keep your swag reputation honestly, so people just get a little reminder of why they are subscribed, and why they respect your bunz). Make a simple easy plan. 4 vids a month (3 eli bro in shop, accomplishing some mildly to very interesting things, 1 badass mofo vid) , the last thing we want is a blast of videos for a month and then you get burnt out physically and emotionally. Honestly Eli I just love your deep voice and its very respect inducing, and also the way you commentate your vids is funny. Play to those strengths. Because as you know, anybody can build something, its the personality we watch. We already know your good at making shit. Now we just want to hang with you in the shop, and listen to your memery, and listen to you luxurious voice humbly make fun of yourself, a bee, a pumpkin, etc. Just my two cents for bringing earnings up, without loosing subscribers and keeping your audience engaged, in a holistic, and long term fashion.
    Love,
    Seany

I've been subscribed from when you made fiberglass masks and have enjoyed this content you've been pumping out for free. Even though I don't have any interest in making most of these projects myself, your persistence and endurance inspires me in more ways than any other youtuber that make things.

    That was by far one of the most heart felt videos I've seen on CZcams. It wasn't a sad puppy montage, a single individual sharing a meal with a homeless man, it was a sincere thank you given out to a community who had no idea what was wrong and why funds were needed, but they delivered through faith. I felt the gratitude at the ending speech of the video and it's nice to see not everything in the world is doom and gloom. I greatly appreciate this channel and the positivity it brings into people's lives by the simple happiness a video can bring, or people coming to our roots of what makes us human, supporting one another in our time of need. Thank you ZNA, and thank you all the supporters. May everyone be lead by positivity and strive for greatness, and may no person be ashamed to ask for a lending hand. God bless.
