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
get the nitro 505 crossbow then shoot warbow arrows of it
Thank you and to be honest these films have taught me loads too
Been a big fan of the channel for a while! I’ll jump on the Patreon ASAP, gotta fund those replacement GoPros somehow. Also, just received my first Tod Cutler dagger and it’s great!
Thanks very much and also appreciate the viewing and custom
Congratulations Tod! Well deserved. We always watch all your new content. Good man. 👍🏻 Patreon is a great idea.
500k ... very well deserved Sir !
Surprised you didn't have a Patreon set up already, this is the type of channel that could benefit the most from such service, from not only financial reasons but also from community input!
Been meaning to for years but been too busy. The finance will certainly help as the channel is not really self funding but I get so much out of the interaction as well and I am really looking forward to that
@@tods_workshop KZhead hasn't been so kind to the Weaponry channels on KZhead 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. At the end of the day though, I appreciate that this channel is first and foremost a passion and a place for both parties to learn.
thanks for all the great work I'm 18 now and have been a fan of your videos for 2 years. You and your videos have inspired me to study history now.
A patreon is a natural fit for this channel and your content - I'm sure it'll do really well for you. Congrats on the epic milestone, hugely deserved.
Godspeed you magnificent bastard.
What a fabulous comment- I shall print that and post on the workshop wall for bad days
i saw 500k subscribers and was instantly confused thinking "there is no way tod only has 500k subscribers" but wow, you deserve far more!
Video hadn’t even finished playing and I was signed up on Patreon. Happy to see the extra content and to fund future endeavors!
I loved your videos, especially shooting arrow ones! Well deserved 500k! Now we go to a million!
Congatulations to 500 k subscribers. What a number ! Well deserved ! :)
Congratulations! So happy to have been a part of this journey from the beginning!
Congrats Todd! You were a spontaneous discovery for me during COVID, been a pleasure viewing since.
Glad something good came out of it!
Cheers and congrats from the States. Great channel!!! Big Fan!!!
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.
Congratulations on your milestone! Thank you for sharing the journey! Happy Holidays!
Congratulations on this well deserved achievement. Your content is worthy of at least a half million more.
Happy New year to you and yours.
Congratulations on your 500k :) Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Congratulations Tod. I'm happy for you. Hope you success continues to grow.
If there was a £3/$6AUD tier with some content I'd be happy to subscribe to your Patreon, but at $13 AUD I'd have to drop a couple of smaller creators. Just a thought, and it may be way too much work to add the lower tier for it to be worth it, so no pressure, it just might ve something to consider.
Thank you. I am new to this and have to feel my way, but rest assured I will keep reviewing things and thinking it through so feedback like this is very useful
Cool. Good for you. Glad to hear of your continuing success. You do good work; you deserve your success. Best wishes and looking forward to your production in the New Year.
_Congrats on 500k Tod, you deserve it!_ 👍👍
just found this channel. really cool channel. shared it with my bro hes really into medeival stuff. congrats on the 500k subs well deserved.
I don't even remember how I first found this channel, but I've enjoyed it ever since and watched nearly every video. I'm poor right now, but I'm interested in donating to your Patreon as soon as I can change that.
Happy for your success man, keep making this quality level content and you'll keep growing that number!
Thanks and that’s the plan
Awesome! I'm also glad to see you have finally started a Patreon page. All signed up and happy to help support this content.
Thank you
A great big hearty CONGRATULATIONS, Todd! Really appreciate all you do: cheers! BTW, I'd love to see you implement my idea for trebuchet ammunition improvements from previous videos, namely utilize existing golf ball dimple patterning carved into the bowling balls to make them modernly more accurate! Cheers, sir!
I really wish i could donate, But im happy your still putting videos om yt and not pay to learn like, some others.... But i understand still wanting to thank them by giving behind the scenes, thats fine... *hears the longer videos part* why isn't more of that on yt? We love more information and with promising format like you longer means .orw info and not just waste of time that can be cut down, Then again you give us all the information we need in your videos and i trust you to continue,
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
Whoo! :D 500k is amazing!
Congratulations Tod, you absolutely deserve it, love your videos!
Congrats Tod I have loved your content for several years now and would gladly join your patreon when I can. I understand its one of the only ways for you guys to drive revenue outside of ads
History and anthropology were the classes that I was excited about while in high school and college. This channel is the application of my favorite subject into real life research! Thanks mate!
Congrats! Love the channel!
Thank you for all the great and interesting content Tod, it's been a fun ride :)
Outstanding achievement, Tod! Congratulations!
Congrats and well-deserved Tod!
According to KZhead just now it is 500K! Congrats!
Congratulations! And finally, you've given your fans the opportunity to support you and participate in your projects! How great to be able to pitch in a bit. Thanks for all the many exciting films you've made for us. And, of course, as the year comes to a close, Merry Christmas to you, your team, and your beloved ones. I wish you all a happy, healthy, lucky, and successful new year full of joy and great projects!
Thank you and right back at ‘ya. But seriously the support will be very welcome as I do have to fund it quite substantially- but I love doing it so it’s been fine
Congratulations! Well deserved, everything you do is of the highest quality (even when we argue about details in the comments). The only travesty is that you're missing a 0 in that subscriber count! A Greek Fire video should certainly be exciting, and I'm looking forward to it immensely.
I seem to think our thinking is pretty closely aligned most of the time, but regardless, good well thought through and polite discussion regardless of position is what progresses all our thinking and you have always delivered that. Thanks for your continued contribution to the community. Sadly not Greek fire (yet) though I do have some stuff to show and say one day, but something else equally interesting…….
This is one of the most interesting and informative channels I've discovered on youtube. I watch every one of your videos. Here's to 1 Mil!
MASSIVE congratulations!! 👍👍👍
Congrats on 500k, well deserved.
Well deserved, congratulations!
500 000 ! I am so happy you did it . Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experiences . Good luck for the next 500k and hope to see you soon .
Thanks, but a great deal of what I know has come from these vids and they happen because people watch them, so without you guys they wouldn’t happen - so thank you
You provide interesting, informative & entertaining content...& 'They' shall come!
Congratulations Tod - you deserve it!
Congratulations, Todd. You have well deserved and earned it
Congratulations Tod! Well deserved 😄👍
Congrats on the Patreon page, at this time I can't join but will when I can.
Congratulations on you Todd, and here's to a million.
Congratulations! You deserve another million at least! Seriously, this channel is my absolute favorite for the sort of experimental archeology that you do here - it's just always great to watch. Cheers!
Thank you and I love doing it
congrats man, been a fan for the past year and i can't wait till i have enough to get a sword from you, keep up the great work
Good for you! Next,make it a million!
Love your videos on KZhead and love your knives, maces, etc that you craft and sell. I am a proud owner of a Todd dirk, mace, "pig from the crest of a helmet" statue, among other items and I can't recommend it enough. Cheers on hitting 500k!!! 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!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write this and your custom. Very much appreciated
Epic milestone. Grats
Nicely done! I am really glad that more and more people are getting to see the great content that you make.
Very kind thank you
Congratulations, Tod. Well deserved mate.
Nice! Congratz!
Congratulations Tod, that's fantastic news.
Congratulations 🎉😊
Congrats for a well-deserved success! I have been so glad to see my rapier and dagger discussed here with Matt Easton 😎
Blimey- that was a while back but fun
Congratulations Tod!
Well deserved. You and your homies are GOATs. Your videos always brighten my day. Thanks.
Thank you for watching
Congratulations!
500k this channel deserves millions
Congratulations Tod
Congrats on half a million!!! Your crossbow videos actually inspired me to make a slightly modernized rolling nut trigger system for a from scratch crossbow. Entire trigger system made form melted soda cans except for the two axles of course. Cant wait for you to hit one million for sure.
Thank you and I LOVE that you cast components from trash
@@tods_workshop Heh more like made a slab and cut out the shapes I needed. Lots of file work especially. Thought for a while I had ruined one cheep file gumming it up with aluminum.
Well done. Deserved...well deserved
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
Ill always watch a TWS video, since almost the start. Great ride to this new beginning. You are a great man.
Thanks for sticking with me
Well done Todd.😊
congrats mate! very well deserved, here is to 500k more. cheers! looking forward to the future of this channel ( especially what i assume is boiling oil for the potentially explosive video next year )
Thank you. Boiling oil- far more interesting than that!
I am actually shocked you just reached 500k. Ive been following you for years and I was so sure you've had at least 500k for a while. just judging from the quality of your videos you should have so many more! keep it up :)
wow, congrats tod. three years of my own here, and i've just bought my first piece of tod cutler for the holidays. Cheers mate.
Thank you!
Congrats, you have earned it.
Congratulations on reaching 500k subscribers, Tod.
Congratulations Sir.
12 years, goddamn. I dimply remember when this was still todsstuff and I saw the ballestrino video (and many others, machining more than historical).
It has been a while…..
500,000 is incredible, congrats.
Overweight, bald middle aged guy……I find it incredible too
Congratulations on 500k! Its definitely deserved! I always get a little nervous when my favorite content creators announce paywalls like patreon and letting fans with money (and not necessarily brains) directly influence content. While I will always have reservations for such paywalls, I understand the necessity and I trust your judgement and passion for sharing knowledge. Cheers! 💚
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
@@tods_workshop excited to see what's to come. Cheers mate, and happy holidays!
Grats!
Cobgratulations!
I am going to subscribe to this, 500k subscribers is a huge achievement. I know people often think that popular youtubers automatically = lots of money but I'm pretty sure that the amount of effort that goes into this channel makes it primarily a labour of love, it'll be cool to help them keep making content and fund new and bigger experiments, because it's both great entertainment and genuinely always fascinating, and it will stand the test of time.
Thank you. You are right that I do get money from YT but not enough to cover costs, but I do ok in other ways so it is kind of my hobby so I am happy to fund it instead of fishing gear or whatever, but this will certainly help to balance the books
would like to see further range for bow vs armor like real life situation in medieval
Hi Tod, congratulations with the sharp corner, you realy deserves it. I have followed you for years, and remember you back from the Scrapheep Challence. Which i realy liked a lot. ;o)
Those were great days and amazingly where I met and worked with Owen Bush of Bushfire Forge. Still great friends now
Finally Patreon!
Congratulations.
Congrats Tod!!! Well earned milestone and aging like fine wine!
I appear to be over- oxidising a bit
@@tods_workshop 😅 I tell my sculpture clients when talking about my custom 'rust' finishes: " It's a patina process that's always unique. I can control it to a point. But weather, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and sun exposure all factor into it. Makes for quite an exiting and one of a kind result." - Textbook sales pitch from an experienced artist that knows better than to commit to a result that he knows he's only got a fraction of control over. Sell the magic and romance and let the wrinkles and grey hair sell the reassurance!
Congrats.
I have been a subscriber for a while love the channel Mr Todd
I remember when this channel was a measly 150k . Look at you now Todd. I just wish I had enough disposable income to buy from your shop. Keep it up and I look forward to every single upload.
I can still remember the very early days of being thrilled with 30 views on a film
Subscribing because I used your videos when teaching a High Middle Ages class. The students really connected with you and Joe shooting bows and crossbows, made the reality of that part of medieval warfare come alive.
Thank you. I honestly find this kind of comment so humbling and it also makes me so proud. Neither joe nor I are ‘professionals’ or teachers and to think our work is used for formal education is so gratifying. Also on a sadder note my father died before the channel took off and I know he would have been so proud
@@tods_workshop I’m sure he would be. 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 think you have a talent for education in a very Mythbusters way, keep up the great work!
Huzzah! 🎉
Dark and Darker, Video Game inspired to research the weapons, and found your channel, its very interesting of what you do, and would like you to do what you do.
I first saw Tod on Junkyard Wars (aka) Scrapheap Challenge! been a long jurney since then.
Certainly has. And for those of you who know Owen Bush of Bushfire Forge, it’s where we met working as engineers on the show
Congratulations Tod ✝️🇺🇸😀
"... for over two hours" 😂😂😂 I love it!
Congratulations, Tod, from this 0.0002% of your subscribers that helped you reach this milestone. But the credit is really all yours. You're the one who created so many irresistible, educational, and fascinating videos.
Thank you but I wouldn’t do it without the audience so thank you and the other 99.9998%
