Thank you all
🕑 Added 2017-05-23 20:00:14 +0000 UTC I want to point out that I LOVE our patrons. I don't have to worry about appeasing some brand or product, or creating clickbait videos.Also, when I noticed the Suburban dumped water from the heater core and that its reservoir looks like a zen fountain today, my only worry was moving around the schedule and downgrading some plans to free up time and coin to get the headgasket sorted.
This would previously result in me spending a week under the hood in short bursts and desperately trying to still produce the show.
Now, tread carefully for 2 months and use the budget on a mechanic. Show produced, necessary vehicle repaired, sleep retained.
Compare this to me around episodes in the 20 range where my eyes are black and my weight gaining as I pounded caffeine to keep up.
Heros, all of you.

There may or may not be a conversation. Who knows!

On a completely different note, I just finished watching Duffel Shuffle, and I must say, Mr. Novak is extremely knowledgeable and has much to offer. I am a student with SDI and have let the powers that be know about you guys, and they were impressed, (this was a while ago) . I sure would like to see some of Mr. Novak's work showcased in the course curriculum of SDI. Just a hopeful nudge, either way, all ya'll, keep up the great content.

I appreciate it

Glad to see the plan is working, peaceful dreams!
C&Rsenal
Me too, I bet it will be popular.

Do you hang out with me?

You're the best around! Nothing's ever gonna keep ya down!
You all do a great job! I signed up as a patron for both C&Rsenal and The Great War. I have been late in signing up to both so I supporting at the 10 dollars a month level to both channels. The content is awesome. I am a former U.S. Army sergeant and infantryman and I greatly appreciate the extra information you provide on these old weapons. I am an avid shooter and owner of many military surplus rifles and the detail provided by this channel really enriches my passion.

No, thank YOU for your relentless pursuit of quality and your never wavering ambition to create high quality content for a fastidious audience.

I had a near-burnout getting ready before atlanta. It was a LOT of work. But it seems, knock on wood, that for the next two months I can stay on track for about 60 hours a week instead of 80-90. Which is a vacation in my book.
C&Rsenal
People have their own priorities. I am just happy many of you chose us!
C&Rsenal
...I think what worries me the most is the accuracy of this

We are destroying the market one pistol at a time!

I appreciate that and your support

Take care of yourself Othais. Don't burn yourself out. It doesn't matter if episodes take a bit longer to make.
Well, I can't say that I love you Othias, but I do love your's and Mae's content which is why I contribute, you produce a quality product which I am happy to pay for, and hopefully allow those who can't afford to pay for it to enjoy as well, to those that enjoy the content for free but can afford it, well the spaghetti monster will have words with you.

We love you too, Othais. You are like our internet weaponized teddy-bear <3

Money well spent given the length, quality, and attention to detail of each episode. Thanks for all of your hard work! Side note, the far far greater damage to my budget is caused by pretty much every episode resulting in a gun I previously underappreciated being purchased or added to my gun show/auction house "radar."
Ron Johnson
The content from C&Rsenal is exceptional. My, by far favorite episode was the Lewis Gun. Not just that it is a machine gun, but how you told the story. This is that special treat that puts your show above any of documentaries on weapons.

Congrats :)
C&Rsenal
Thank you
C&Rsenal
Still not a bad buy

C&Rsenal
Thank you
Halldor Arnarson
Love you guys right back, and the hard work you guys put in. And thank you for taking the time to write this^^
Clyde Zackery
No, thank you. I purchased an old gun a while back. I meant to buy FN1900 but got Dreyse 1907. It was Mae and you that educated me on what I purchased. I think I need to bump up another $1.00/mo.

Somebody got my credit card number! Thankfully my bank caught it and shut down the card. I'll have to renew my monthly patreon payments and when I do c&rsenal will get a little bump. When I read your trying to survive with a suburban my heart went heavy and I knew what I must do.
Your channel has provided hours and hours of entertainment and information and all for the cost of 0 dollars. More than happy to kick a couple bucks your way to make sure it keeps going.
C&Rsenal
no i luv u.
C&Rsenal
Thank you. I'm actually learning to be more open with planning and trials.
C&Rsenal
Thank you!

We love your videos :)

I love and appreciate the work you are doing and I'm happy that my small contribution actually helps you. I also love how transparent you are with your community. It seems like a small thing, but your posts and interactions are really nice.
C&Rsenal
It's a huge deal to have the support.
C&Rsenal
Effort, love, patience, and patrons!
C&Rsenal
I've learned to expect maintenance. It beats waste!
Love you guys too, I'm just happy that I can contribute a small amount so you guys can do what you love and I get the benefit of watching really enjoyable videos of enthusiastic and motivated people!
Don't pander to use but please keep feeding us
John
I get thanked every time I watch a new episode, and realize that I, in some small way, helped make it happen. I love these old weapons, and if I can't be the one handling and firing them, then watching you and Mae do so is the next best thing.
Andrew Bethards
I don't know how y'all do it, but it is so interesting and entertaining that I'm happy to help.
Like post. Dislike head gasket replacement.
C&Rsenal
We use every dollar each month for production as is. The plan is to get through WWI and then go a bit easy on selection and finally take a paycheck. So it stings a bit to do the headgasket NOW but it was budgeted for this year anyway.

Aww now I feel warm and fuzzy haha. Seriously glad you guys have enough coin to not stress things so much. Anything to help you guys! Where would I be right now without C&Rsenal? I'd be without my last rifle purchase because I only knew what the thing was because of you guys. I'd also be without my WWI small arms fix, and other cool stuff I got from you guys. Thank you for spreading the love, especially for these beautiful firearms and their history.
C&Rsenal
I feel it!
C&Rsenal
Oh man, around the 20s I had the power steering fail. Replaced pump, broke pulley seater in process....burned up again. Replaced steering gear, complete failure 5 days later, faulty part. Replace steering gear and pump again... Finally!
We did it! We helped! Seriously, it makes me feel good to know that we can make life just a bit less stressful.
Jim Roth
We love you too! ;-)
