    This channel is nearly at half a million subscribers! What a milestone. To celebrate, I'm planning a special, potentially explosive, film in the new year. I've also just launched a Patreon Page, with lots of extra content for members that sign up.
    For budget medieval replicas of fantastic accuracy and value todcutler.com
    For commissions and custom work todsworkshop.com
    For merch todsworkshop.creator-spring.com
    For those who enjoyed Arrows vs Armour todtodeschini.com

    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

      @@tods_workshop RUclips hasn't been so kind to the Weaponry channels on RUclips but at least their communities have been kind in return! Quite excited as this could open up a new era of content and step up the production even further.

    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.

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!

    Then again you give us all the information we need in your videos and i trust you to continue,

    • @tods_workshop

      Don’t worry about the YT end or not being able to donate. It won’t change for the worse and hopefully get better.
      The longer video thing is tricky. If I put out videos with more content, there will be less pace, so less views, so less income. There has to be a balance, often hard to find but I try to keep as much content as I can but make them commercial enough to be worth making. So the content is good, just not fast enough and Patreon will allow that to exist in a way that YT won’t

Your Agincourt and armor piecing videos were a great addition to the Hundred Years’ War, helped us separate fact from fiction and look at some of the mythology of the longbow. On my evals, a handful of students mentioned how much they loved that lesson - so just know your videos are enriching the academic community at Vanderbilt! The “field testing” of weapons helped a lot of students learn in a different way from reading written primary sources.

      I am too independent to change much and I will fiercely defend everything that Tods Workshop stands for. However my ideas often get developed more after a film and this will help develop them before. So the reality I expect it to be is actually just better thought through films. There will be films behind a paywall and that is a reality of trying to make it pay its way however they will be supplemental and ‘geekier’ content and nothing will be taken away from the YT films - don’t worry, I won’t let you down

    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!

      Thank you for sticking with me. It was all a bit amateur back then
