As someone who used to work as an assembler at a home improvement store, I can say that that is an accurate representation of how to put together an actual lawnmower.
Installed these on a riding mower ruclips.net/user/postUgkxetgfkJxfdT_B2vGYP-uNTLaBbim9OKTD . They were sharp out of the box, although I've never liked blade edges that were coated...not quite as sharp as I personally want. Using my belt sander, I removed the coating from the cutting edges and refined the edge enough to shave with them. So far, after three runs, these blades are holding up as expected. Even after hitting a few fallen 1/2 inch or so branches, the edges are still sharp as heck. No edge dings, no warping, etc. As far as installing them, the cutouts were of the proper size and shape to fit my aging Craftsman mower. Very satisfied.
I wasn't sure if I'd like this video and I almost didn't watch it, but I figured that I'd give it a shot because I usually enjoy our videos, and I'm glad that I watched it.
That sounds cool, but if they aren't made from aluminum they're made of crappy pot metal. An edge would never last with either, but if it's pot metal it would most likely crack. He could maybe make some razor razor blades though.
REED BROOKS you know what would be cool though? If he took all the wiring, separated it by material, and made some sort of a Damascus (like Alec Steele did with the copper and nickle) and made something like box cutter blades.
I know you didn't intend to give the larger one a 'rough' finish, but I think I like it better this way. The contrast between the small/neat cleaver and the big/rough one really adds to the vid imo.
Anthony Vandeput yup, that’s what turned me from being kinda annoyed at the super hack jokes and anti-Trump lame comments. I literally spit taked my coffee on my phone.
I honestly don’t care who is for or against the president of the USA. I’m definitely against bitch’n about it for four years and not actually getting anything done. Is Trump an egotistical douche? For sure but that’s every single president ever, it’s kind of a requirement for the job. Also he kinda looks weird and is bombastic but that’s no something that should prevent someone from doing the job especially according to a group of people looking for equality and acceptance, it works for people you don’t like as well. (I don’t like the man but have trouble finding his work in any way worse then some of the “better” American leaders, he’s just extra douche about it, and quite frankly me liking him has nothing to do with the work he needs to do.)
Dang. That looks and is one hell of a quality knife. You could probably sell things like that for good money seeing how much work goes into making these and the quality. You could probably do that as a side hustle or even main source of income if youtube ever comes to an end. Making handmade knives and axes and stuff like that.
Oh okay. That's interesting to know. I don't know much about it but just thought the end result looked really professional. Thank you for clearing that up. Either way, Eli is very talented imo and puts in lots of hard work.
King Panda new mower blades yes but old circular saw blades and old mower blades were made out of extremely good high carbon steels my dad and I make and sell handmade knives and we use these a lot
Just some tips to help you out a lil Don't use your vacuum cleaner to collect metal filings off the grinder, due to it being able to set fire to a bag/filter (if you got one in there) or sawdust. I'm glad that you didn't get discouraged from the last fire but I don't want you to ever just give up. Your work is truly inspirational (and inspired me to start making on RUclips (btw Thanks)) Secondly when hand sanding and moving through the grits change the angle between each grit, by about 30-45 degrees, this will allow the sandpaper to cut more effectively and it will be easier to see the the scratch marks for you to follow and if you can get higher grits try and go above your desired finish and go back (this will get you the best possible finish for them crazy shiny blades, its time consuming but if you have time the finish is well worth it!) thanks for being inspirational stay safe and happy crafting!
This video is proof that your videos are becoming different. Your channel is headed in a different direction, and it's looking awesome so far! Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to see what's next.
It's been a while since I've watched. The leap in production quality in the past half a year or so has been awesome (and it's not even that they were lacking in presentation before!). You've done a super good job, keep at it.
duuuuuude you need to grind away the oxide (the black crap ) with the angle grinder because the oxide is super hard thats why it took so long to grind away , plz like so eli sees this
I almost don’t care about the build. The first half a dozen lame lawn mower anti-Trump jokes had me groaning but Eli didn’t let up and I actually spit my coffee on my phone. While I was cleaning up that mess I dropped it in the sink and kept laughing.
My one constant thought from seeing the thumbnail to the completion of the hog splitter was just the phrase “good for the taking of heads”. That is easily the most *brutal* thing I’ve seen in months. 🤘
It’s honestly so cool to see someone really care about what they do and watch them put time and effort into something to get the results they want. Respec
This was my first ever ZNA video. I saw it after ignoring it in my recommendations for about a week. So glad I was bored at two am and went down the rabbit hole of this channel
The editing of this video is much better than previous videos. I especially like how the cuts match the rhythm of the song, not only does it feel natural but it also makes the video look much more professional. P.S. the hug splitter is a definite go-to zombie apocalypse melee weapon :)
I can really see why you said you were proud of this vid, bro. You nailed it with the skit at the beginning. I thought that's all the video was going to be, but we get a build too :D
Love the work you put into your videos and I hope you know you are very appreciated for it. The quality of every single one of your videos (past 2015) is just amazing so don't worry bout like "would my viewers care if I do or do not do this?" don't worry about it. Every time you post I get excited so don't worry bout pleasing the viewers cause by doing what you like you already do my dude. Keep up the very hard but good work!
Very satisfying video eli. The cleavers look clever. If I had the tools and the space I would be doing what you are doing on my free time. Make a little extra money aside from my job.
Aj V Rebar is melted down scrap steel, so it can be what ever steel quality. That means that one piece of rebar can have one inch high carbon stell and the rest mild steel, which means it is unfit for making tools and weapons.
@@AFUVFX Mild steel will not harden during a heat treat, that's the problem. It has too little carbon in it and stays soft and even brittle, it's not good knife steel, much less sword steel
You should try to make an actual everyday carry style fixed blade. Like make it look really nice with a decent steel and all around good materials that will last long. Take time with the design and make it something durable and pretty to look at. Just a suggestion, but I think it would be really cool and I want to see what you can create and design.
Loving the new kind of montage towards the beginning of the build. Great video. One criticism is that I remember a time where I felt like i learned a new build technique in each video and I feel that the educational aspect of the builds seems to be missing in this one and I hope that's not foreshadowing the future of these builds. Still an awesome video.
Absoloot Disastr What im saying is a long time ago videos were basically a how-to guide or at least he explained his process each step of the way so you learned things. I'm not saying it's a problem that this aspect is gone I just miss it.
You need to get your content on instagram, your content would do amazing there. Take angled high quality photos of all your builds, put a cool filter, post and profit. You could also do teaser videos to drive traffic here.
Lil Chromezome If someone said that to me in real life I would assume that they were saying it Sarcastically so I was clarifying that I was not saying it sarcastically. Does that answer your question?
Watching this channel made me realize that modern epoxies would be an unbelievable wonder to people even a century and a half ago. Forget the advancement of techniques and machinery, I'd imagine that the ability to mix two compounds and get a very resilient bond would blow minds. Doubly so when it's something so absurdly available, to the point that it's barely remarkable. Sure, glues have been a thing since before written history, but epoxy is a whole different animal.
Damn dude, these videos are so much different stuff all piled into one. lawnmower jokes, cleaver building action, chopping and cooking. Noyce. Glad I found this channel.
not even joking that lawn mower shooting bubbles is pretty sick
Yea I just ordered one similar for my baby brother.
I think I might get one for my self just to put on display.

Just implement that feature to a real lawnmower
but is it californa legal tho
A six minute skit to set up a lawnmower blade build?
Not even mad.
Pleased
I genuinely appreciate the fact that he reviewed a toy lawnmower. A+
One is a cleaver, the other is a darksouls weapon. God damn
Nah. Bardiche, Brush Axe, or Hog Splitter.
It’s the weapon you get after killing Mildred
So basikly level one and level 200 on cleavers in an mmo rpg
Shit looks like a monster Hunter weapon
No curses please
I didn’t realize the whole calling skit was fake until Wumbo

It's real though. The Hell are you talking about mate?

What do you mean its fake its real wumbo is for work m is for mini

That beginning skit had me in tears!
Yeah it just makes me uncomfortable. Don't see how the confused political commentary/obtuse attempt at a joke adds anything to the build/video.
Did not expect a wf partner do be here 😐
FourEye it adds comedy...
FourEye I think he was just mocking people on the left in the fact that they exaggerate every thing, it was pretty funny

Make a razor sharp blade out of a razor scooter
^^^^^^
Fishy McFishy razor scooters are aluminum. It will not hold an edge.
That sounds cool, but if they aren't made from aluminum they're made of crappy pot metal. An edge would never last with either, but if it's pot metal it would most likely crack. He could maybe make some razor razor blades though.
REED BROOKS dammit, why didn't I think of wheel bearings? 😂
