I am not gonna lie, I've seen a lot of tread plate armor today and was thinking this was going to be a big waste of my time. However after watching I realize these just might be the best I've seen all day.
200 years from now, the cult that will spawn out of this community when the apocalypse hits is going to cherish this as a holy item. Their leader will wear it into battle and destroy opposing clans.
Sir, I don’t care how long it takes you to upload as long as you keep doing it. Ive watched you ever since 7th grade and now I’m in college. Your humor and your ability to make something so unfunny hilarious keeps bringing me back to your channel. Keep doing what your doing please.
God man I remember your tread plate armor from 5 years ago or so. It’s amazing how time has flown by and you’ve been giving us new content throughout it. You’re amazing man and your content has inspired me to make armors, weapons, and crafts alike. I cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done and what an inspiration you really are. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
I feel the same way! Eli makes amazing content, and he’s been the only creator that I’ve consistently watched since 2013. Every upload, while few and far between, is gold and I watch them immediately. I really can’t say that for many other creators. Even the Game Grumps, who I love dearly, there are spans of time where I just won’t watch their videos.
You can really see he put way more effort into this video than usual. Not only was the build skillful but the video was all fluid and the switches between the chillpop work compilations and the talking bits were super relaxed. It’s good to see a RUclipsr come all the way from rubbing a Dorito on a knife to making a polished video like this
Dude, incredible video. The build was sick as heck, the editing was well paced and the gags were really funny. This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Keep up the good work man!
I am so amazing at how good your content is getting, the builds were always amazing but the production value and pacing of the videos just keeps getting better. Great job! love the armor
When you make the articulated helmet, you could try and see how case hardening works out for the parts. The thinner gauge material you´ll probably have to use can only benefit from that, plus it makes for a cool weathered finish.
I'm really proud of how much you've grown eli. I've been subbed since 2017 and its amazing to see how much you've progressed in editing,building and overall getting smarter and better in life and i think everyone can learn a little something from eli thanks for the amazing content that keeps getting better and better
Eli, this is one of the best videos you've produced. Everything about it was great! I lost it when you used your rock hard abs to pop those rivets without even reacting; it was amazing!
Something about your videos is so comfortable. I love it. It's gotta be a combination of the music and natural color tone that your videos tend to have. Keep it up, my guy.
Oi your the most underrated RUclipsr on the planet I’ve been watching you since day one bro I remember you giving yourself stitches I remember you testing out spears at a camp I think you were working out idk I’m just tryna say I appreciate your videos so much and they built my childhood/teen years bro so thank you
To think that I’ve been watching you for 8yrs now is wild. I’ve unsubbed from many RUclipsrs over the years but your vids have stayed consistently entertaining in its own odd way. Glad your still at it
You learned the lesson of the natural waist vs the hips for armor placement. If you look at historical armor placements on the body natural waist is where you want the bottom of your plates to be so that when you bend over it isnt digging into your bones. Great video man! Love seeing the things you do and your editing is great
A ZNA video???? Bruh let's goooooo Dude this is wild, I've been watching you since I started middle school, and now I'm applying to university, moving out this summer. Been subbed for 6 years and not going anywhere, love you broskie
I've been absolutely loving the armor builds, especially with the leather working experience you're gaining. I'm just wondering, now that you've got most of your upper body armor, are you planning on any leg armor? Something like those old armored shin guards and the armored skirt?
Shin and Head protection are probably more important at this level of protection. Chest cavity protection is good against guns but in a melee you are more vulnerable at the heads and lower legs.
Been watching Eli for years and I’m so happy to see him bring back one of my favorite projects as well as to see him improve his editing skills, I usually don’t watch the sponsorships on other channels but he makes it entertaining. Love your work as always, glad to see a new video and glad above all to see you looking happy and healthy! Much love man!
Happy to see that you are still around! I also recently picked up my armor project and hence came back to your channel! I hope you are doing great and you are striving!
I revisited this channel after like 3 years. (pretty sure since the PVC bow and arrow vid) and I must say the humor, editing, and work put into this video was insane. This is gas bro, keep it UP.
I’m glad to see you’ve got sponsors!! I always skip these sponsorship segments but I’ll watch yours cause I know it’s been a long time coming. Also, heckin amazing video man, best I’ve seen you make in a while
After examining several different treadplate body armor options all day, I gotta admit that this video contains the sickest treadplate body armor that I've seen all day.
Dude. As a parent, I can say you must be a total joy to your parents. Amazing wit, creativity, off scale humor and wicked intelligence. Our daughter is very much like this and to be around her is a freaking blast! Well done young man.
This is one RUclipsr I've watched consistently for about 7-8 years now. I'll immediately stop watching whatever video when I see him upload and I can't say that about any other creator. Keep up the good shit Eli!
This is such a cool build, referencing a previous build for resources. Man it'd sure be cool to see this armor tested though, like against a sword or something. Would be great if you could reference a previous build for those resources. Hmm. jkjk Eli, great content as always, we're lucky to have ya
yes, I remember hearing that one foot solider said his armor was uncomfortable and Great General Zhang Liao in his infinite wisdom said your plates are "Wei tu lo" ... .. .
I don't remember being already subbed to you, and after checking your catalog of videos I still don't remember seeing any of them, but considering how awesome the armors you've made are I'm honestly glad this got recommended
Sixteen guage mild steel plate would be more than enough to stop anything that isn't coming out of a gun, but the untreated leather wouldn't give much protection against say, a man with a knife and a bone to pick with you. I guess if you have sufficient padding underneath it wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would've been a pretty bad day.
@@Anino_Makata I had the same sort of thought. Wouldn't stop a bullet, probably would stop an arrow, but a really sharp blade in the right spot would be nasty. Still cool as hell though
I’ve run into the conundrum of not knowing how to armour the corners of limb joints without A) going excessive on the inner corners and B) not making all sorts of gaps or else using just too much resource. If next you could make a video for limb joint armouring, that would be pretty badass.
These vids are consistently getting better. I thought you'd ironed out your video making format 3 years ago and you are still improving. Makes me feel like a damn fool.
took a break from watching your stuff just to come back, and man, you don't miss a beat. You're still doing great, and now I got a backlog of videos to catch up on.
Bro, you've learned some skills since I first started following your videos. Remember when you made that bullwhip and had your friend whip you with it? I remember thinking, "Now that's being truly *desperate* for views! But I have to respect it..."
I make plate carriers so I know how much work you’ve done from patterning to completion and I gotta say “ AWESOME WORK DUDE “. Absolutely sick .💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude! I like your aesthetic sensibilities and you are entertaining with a great ability to convey details, despite how difficult it is on a budget to do so. The important thing though is, what is this meant to be proof against?
Damn I haven’t come back to this channel in so long and its so good to see you revisit the armor and truly be the Crusader you were meant to be. It warms my heart to see this then look at Homemade weapons
Been watching you for a while now and I gotta say: this is your finest work yet, both as a builder and an editor. Excellent stuff man, keep it up! 👍🏿❤️
I lost interest in weapon making a few years ago but Eli has such a unique brand of humor that I stick around just because the videos are so funny. Love it when one pops up in my feed
Long time watcher, and I dunno if I missed something, but the editing style was CHOICE! Liking the direction this is going in! That, and a great build!
God how I miss this. I'm always satisfied with seeing working armour, and not to be weird, but your voice is actually very relaxing Eli along with choice background music for this video, nothin but good vibes man. Keep rock'n Crusader.
I can not put into words at how happy I am that he is back! I love your videos my guy! Once I get the materials needed, imma make my own armor and then never take it off. Probably bolt it into my skin or bone an be a mecha skeleton when I die
Man I remember this guy when he was 15 and had a head full of nice hair now look at him and his success 1.25M subs and a wonderful father great job dude.
finally some of that good funny-funny, man you can't belive how good your videos make me feel in my brain, all thanks to editing, humor, build-up, tyle, creativity, hard, work, acting, and, many, more,
I am not gonna lie, I've seen a lot of tread plate armor today and was thinking this was going to be a big waste of my time. However after watching I realize these just might be the best I've seen all day.

I usually don’t much care for RUclips sponsorships but seeing Eli getting sponsored is so weirdly gratifying. Proud of you man.
Our boys come along way that's for sure. Can't wait for the future
@I'm Just Kyle but this is his first sponsored video and with how RUclips constantly tries to hamper him, it’s real good to see him get a sponsor.
His production value has increased a lot from the sharpen d square days.
Some on point editing, humor and skills. "I was sad when part one was over but quickly rejuvenated by the assurance of part 2."... hehehe good stuff.
200 years from now, the cult that will spawn out of this community when the apocalypse hits is going to cherish this as a holy item. Their leader will wear it into battle and destroy opposing clans.

youve seen other treadplate armor not as sick or what?
what about the day before?

The way you express yourself through the editing is amazing. One of the best creators on the platform, hands down. Every video is a banger
You’re the only person whose ads I listen to because you genuinely make them funny and entertaining. Big love, Eli. Awesome video.
I am so amazing at how good your content is getting, the builds were always amazing but the production value and pacing of the videos just keeps getting better. Great job! love the armor
Your editing style never fails to make me laugh. Glad to see another vid from you Eli. Hope your 2022 goes well.
The armor looks awesome the only thing is we need to send it to Demolition Ranch and have those guys test it out to see what it would hold up against
When you make the articulated helmet, you could try and see how case hardening works out for the parts. The thinner gauge material you´ll probably have to use can only benefit from that, plus it makes for a cool weathered finish.
Hi, we share the same name. We both know that its a raretity to find another person with the name Nils. What country are you from? Im from Latvia 🇱🇻
I feel like Guts' golden age helmet would fit pretty well with this build if Eli adds a few tweaks here and there
The small convo between building Eli and editing Eli reminded me a lot of emperors new grove and that made me smile you are still my fav channel
As soon as I saw the notification I immediately dropped what I was doing and clicked, an incredible return to form Eli, great to have you back
Same lol
