Dear Patrons!

Haha I’m a bit late on this 😂 I’m just happy I can support a great creator who genuinely puts time and effort into their work like you do! It’s been really awesome watching you grow your channel - well deserved! :) x

Patreon only chat is cool

Keep up the great work dude!

Name in the credits and early release of all videos are the usual ones. There is a guy I didn't like when I was at school....26 years ago. If you could rebuild that car and run him over with it I reckon I'd see that as a perk ;) There are things that are not really perks like running a live stream refurb to raise money for a volunteer led group near you. I've worked in the charitable sector for over 20 years and for around £250 you can run a monthly project for a year as room hire costs are the main stumbling block that stops groups running. I didn't think at 42 I'd be back gigging to cover the gap left when big, asset rich, organisations started pulling project funding for people living with dementia. Unfortunately that funding that is begged for by charity/hedge funds around Christmas doesn't filter down to where it's needed.

Please use my Patreon money to keep making great YouTube videos for everyone to enjoy - don't need exclusive stuff. Can't believe the high quality of your videos has been maintained throughout the last crazy year, so well done!

But idea wise maybe just like a virtual meetup with a beer or other beverage. Maybe bit of show and tell ;)

I've got discord. Don't really use it much to be honest. But I'll happily join :)

If you're still looking for ideas, have you thought about Q&As? Or some kind of LWIAY-type thing where you review fan's creations? There are a lot of things your fans made in the #community-creations channel on your Discord. Maybe you could look at those in a video some time and review them. Idk, just a couple of ideas.

I didn't even realize there was a $10 tier. I guess I've just been parked at $5 since... uh... July 2018. I'm in for $10! I'm just here to support your content. Nothing special needed. I agree with Grzegorz Ciesielski, though, that you should make sure it's not too much extra work!

The thing why this Patreon works so well is because it's just a way to support a creator and nothing more. i feel like of you introduced tiers with rewards, perks etc you would eventually have to invest more time in Patreon than actual content. So personally I'm happy to just support, as you said entertainment for others and get nothing extra. But if I could have some suggestions, maybe a livestream when you open some packages or repair stuff for video. It's enough to keep conversation interesting but you also don't end up doing something extra for the Patreon.

Really enjoy your stuff man. You’ve inspired me to fix loads of gadgets round the house and for other family members. You make it really accessible in your videos. If you ever do a unique gameboy shell, like the Mr Beast one, I’d be up for throwing a couple of quid at it.

Hey Elliot! My monthly donation is just that, a donation. It's appreciation for what you already do, not payment in hopes of something extra. If you do something Patreon exclusive, I'll take a look, but it's not why I donate. Love the channel, keep up the awesome work!

I feel this. The reason I pay is precisely because I know it goes straight back into videos. And maybe if one month, ad revenue is down, the Patreon money can help out a little, too.

The Patron discord channel is kinda dead, tbh. A voice chat would be cool, but an idea I had was for patrons (especially higher tiers) could maybe be more involved in some projects. For example, I sent a message via Patreon a little while ago asking if I could send you something to take a look at on a video. Not sure if you saw that. Personally, I don't mind paying for everyone else's enjoyment. I have a full-time job, so that's no issue for me. I pay $10 per month and have been doing so for almost a year. Your channel is my favourite on YouTube, so I'm more than happy to pay to keep it going. Maybe you could let us know first if you ever sell any of your creations. (not things like the LongBoy obviously, but maybe some of the stuff you repair or mod)

i'm in the discord but i never say anything because i don't actually do any modding myself. u should make more stickers, i like stickers

Hey Elliot, another one of you IPA patrons here. Hands down you're one of my favorite content creators on YT right now, which is why I decided to donate the 10 a month to you. Honestly, a monthly 'cord sesh sounds wicked cool. Seems like a cool spot for like-minded individuals such as ourselves to chat!

Hi Elliot, I’m one of the Isopropyl Alcohol tier donators (love that name). I choose that tier purely because of my appreciation for the videos that you post. I’ve modded my GBA SP because of your channel and used your videos for guidance (and the o so necessary confidence). Don’t feel obliged to do something extra for this tier. Use that little bit of extra money to get more stuff for your videos. I don’t need my name in the credits. ;-)

Hi Elliot! I'm just happy to be able to support you and am glad it helps support your content creation. I've enjoyed your videos for a couple of years now! I don't have any suggestions, other than keep making videos that interest you!
