Dark Repulser Build 1 of 5: Blade and Guard

[@Vampirization]

Oh, how I miss the old hour-ish long videos.. but it's still amazing to watch!

[@secretsquirrelaka-vesuvius3672]

Totaly agree ... @michaelcthulhu ... forget what youtubes fancy algorythms say... we dont care about hour long vids lol

[@DrigrX]

As he says in the shpiel, there's always supporting him directly on patreon if you want the whole thing.

[@rjames1864]

I cancelled my subscription and haven't watched any of his vids since the format change. Only scrolled to the end of this one to see if he had anything worth while to say about the new format. I completely understand breaking up the vids to get more views, but posting them a week apart is bullshit. You have all the parts, post them all at once. You'll still get your 5 individual views instead of one. You'll also get a lot more views on each part if people can immediately go to the next one. Making it a special perk for donations was an unnecessary extra money grab.

[@tristanmahler4471]

@@rjames1864 It's almost like this is his job and he needs money to support his 3 kids and wife. Since you don't have to actually pay money to see any of this, you're kind of being a demanding asshole.

You know its "Stop Everything In Your Life" time when you see a new video posts!!! 😀

[@ambuknight]

Confirm..

[@Mia-in-Japan]

Much prefer the longer videos but if it makes you more money then keep at it. I'd rather you the creator get as much out of it as we do 😁

[@RedmarKerkhof]

Agreed. Mike is the one who has to live off it, I just get to hitch along for the ride for free. In fact, it's actually kind of nice to see these videos appear more than once a month. I'm beginning to warm up to this format.

[@PoisonousFlower85]

When I'm having a bad day I watch your videos. The craftsmanship of your creations makes me smile and gives me piece. Oh and the destruction at the end of the processes helps too. Thanks for being awesome.

[@Zoso14892]

I've been watching a lot of other metal workers recently and kept thinking the sparks they were generating from grinding were massive. It was weeks before I realised it's because I'm used to your "swords" and they were working on standard knives!

[@markfergerson2145]

Standard knives are made of mundane high-carbon steel. Ever seen heavy equipment used to move or break up boulders and stuff? The "fangs" on those machines are made of a special, really tough, very wear-resistant alloy called... Hardox. Yep, the same stuff Michael makes his dirty great swords out of. That's why he makes so many sparks and goes through boxes and boxes of grinding discs per sword. That's also why one of his swords can kill a cinderblock or five. Try that with an ordinary "real" sword and you get a bent or broken sword!

[@Zoso14892]

@@markfergerson2145 It was the sparks on standard high carbon steel that looked so large. The reason being they are zoomed right in. In reality I realise it's the other way around it's just something my half asleep brain picked up on.

[@BrokenThumbStick]

I never "like" videos before watching them, but it's YOU, and that's enough. "Likes" for days!

[@mikeroe7943]

I think the mighty algorithm is maybe lying to you. Your vids are satisfying because you usually take the project to completion. A tease like this is annoyingly short because it no longer makes good background, and if I want the usual experience I have to wait until episode 5 comes out and watch them all back to back with interruptions, so it's a more fiddly watching experience. If this is being done because of ad revenue, I'd just like to say I'd MUCH prefer one long video with multiple ad breaks over five videos stretched out teasingly over a whole month. or whatever. This is just feedback though. I hope it helps. Keep up the entertaining work.

[@DrigrX]

You could always get the same experience by supporting him directly on patreon. There's more than just ad breaks to youtube preferring shorter videos.

[@daniellclary]

I always just love how you weld something on, and then you grind it, then the part looks like it was always just one piece. You can't tell its a weld.

Terry Pratchett!!! Jingo was the book, Leonard of Quirm, the D'Vinci character, Nobbi and Colon the guards and it was a firework, without fins, and Nobbi set it off, setting fire to a Klatchian Embassy... Muwahahaha, love that author!

[@Mark_5150]

Thousands of years from now people are going to wonder why there are so may iron deposits where your home once stood.

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Man, I relate big time to the part where you talked about not being able to get an accurate idea of what the weapon looks like. I make props on my channel (nothing as good as you) but I have the same problem. You can take 5 different screenshots and get 5 different version of what people would refer to as the same thing. It's hard to know which one is 'right', especially if its a commission piece.

[@af0ulwind115]

Honestly i think KZbin can bite me... long videos are just fine and i kinda like having a few to watch/listen to while i am in the guard Shack on my 12 hour shifts.

To be honest I kinda like the shorter videos. It helps me with my lack of impulse control. If i could watch the whole hour I would. Then I would not have anything to watch. Great vid as always.

[@JamziboyMinecraft]

Part of me wants some crazy rich person to buy Michael a big workshop full of top-of-the-line power tools and machinery. But most of me wants to continue seeing him wielding an angle grinder for all of eternity.

I just bursted laughing at the cutter at 17:00 thats amazing thing. Might want to weld a bit more handle to press it down or just bend the already existing handle upwards for more power and quicker cutting. Just a thought if you feel the need to make changes to it.

[@franscoisprinsloo3403]

Awesome little cut scene in the end there. Didn't see it coming lol

[@truly1676]

Michael have you ever thought of actually designing your own mega weapon and creating one or perhaps a certified numbered series of them and auctioning them first to the highest bidder then the runner up and so on. I honestly think people would love it 🥰!!!!! You could do a series every year.

More clicks more money my friend itd be a good idea maybe after a few months but im sure his videos age quite well as they all have a large amount of views despite the age of the videos but with that being said I would also like one long video for each build

[@jasonharlow887]

He puts them all in a playlist, so once they are all up you could watch the playlist with autoplay on and it essentially would be like one long video

[@FirstLast-ks6vm]

Nope, he's made the long format Patreon exclusive now. Gotta pay to watch the older style of video.

[@tannergonnoreha1862]

Seems a little outlandish but you should give a go at thanos double bladed sword from Avengers: Endgame

[@robertbuick1500]

Curious question, other that the obvious cost of a CNC machine, would there be any down sides to the pre-assebmly piece cutouts as opposed to using the cutting wheels? Is there a loss of intricacy, heat affected zone impacts or other?
