Hey Adam, can you dig up props from Airwolf? The Rc's used and the rebuild of the 222 remake of it (if you do find the original build it would be awsome ) and the set where we was able to see inside the chopper with Dom in the back and String? I now this is a hard one but, if anyone can make it happen it is you. There are almost NOTHING behind the scenes from that show.. Interviews from some of the actors is the best ive found but almost nothing how they did it and how or the set no nothing 😒
Hey Adam, you have obviously enjoyed that audience interaction tremendously, as has the audience. Have you considered creating an audience shop space so that we can have regular interactions like these while you create things? Cheeeers :-)
I am a machinist today, because of Adam Savage and many of the contributors to this project! I believe that Oxtoolco made that assembly at around 11:10. He writes some great books, and I've learned a lot from him. This Old Tony and NYCNC are also great channels if anybody else is interested in that sort of thing and I believe they contributed as well.
this old tony parts i spotted the hinge 11:41 she literally puts it on and is thankful that it fits and at 13:45 adam just about points his finger at it and 15:28 you can see the bellcrank at the top left corner of the window where it has an almost 90 degree corner you can clearly see the green plastic bushing under the hex screw he machined its a beauty
Such a classic combo of materials beautifully rendered by a passionate expert. My heart shrank a little when you broke out the 3D printer at the start, but I knew you wouldn't let me down @jimmydiresta :-)
Probably the largest-scale makers collaboration ever. A nation of makers coming together to help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of one of humanity's defining moments. More please. More collaborations. More makers. More STEM. More unity. More defining moments for humanity. Thank you!
That pressure equalization valve was built by Tom Lipton He also goes by Ox Tools. He really needs to get some acknowledgement for a lot of time he spent making sure it was totally accurate....to the point that it probably would easily work on a flight rated Apollo hatch.
Thanks for this comment. I went and found the 7(!) part series of his build and watched every minute. Such an incredible amount of care and craftsmanship went into his build, and I 100% agree that his part could have easily worked on the Apollo. I would trust my life to his work, and I'm sure the astronauts would too. It's actually kind of a shameful waste it went on a non-functioning display piece. Here's his playlist: ua-cam.com/video/au-6nzn-N-A/v-deo.html
@@WmSrite-pi8ck Who said it has anything to do with This Old Tony? It doesn't.... It has to do with Tom Lipton's piece of art... Tony is entertaining but Tom builds masterpieces..
I love Adam's comment about Tom Lipton (OxToolCo) pressure relief valve "This could go on the actual hatch!" I'd expect absolutely nothing less from Tom.
The MOST satisfying thing, is to see all the people and young people who are so interested in space exploration and the science and the engineering behind it all......Thank you to all of you for keeping the interest of Space alive and well.
If you go to Fran Blanche's / Franlab UA-cam channel you can see a hour long video of Adam working on this Build. Fran was one of the contributors to this project and has a set of videos showing the item she made
Watching it live, Tom got a shout out during the build. Wish they would have showed it. On stage, Adam told Tom seeing the part made him SO envious that when Adam decides to build his own hatch, his biggest regret will be not having Tom's part on it.
Tom's part is functional (of his own admission) and he went the furthest because he got original build plans to make it. I have no doubt in my mind that you could swap it with the original if that could be possible, and nobody would know it.
Great to see all that on the spot troubleshooting and quick fixes! Everyone runs into issues like this, and with over 40 different people working in different media, getting this to come together is an amazing feat!
That should give an idea to the difficulty of how hundreds of subcontractors, all around the country, made the real Apollo spacecraft -- WITHOUT the internet, CAD/CAM, 3D-printing, email, UA-cam, and on and on.
Adam, During this video and especially at the end, the way you honored all of the participants and the way you have done it with so many of the other interactions that I have seen you do; feels honest and almost childlike wonder. I find it so refreshing. You always seem to be in awe of everyone else's work. I simply want to say Thank You.
I find myself choking up a bit, tears welled and all, because there's a certain awe and beauty in collaboration, especially in the pursuit of preserving history. Seeing Adam build and play with other phenomenal makers and craftsmen and experts of their fields, it's beautiful, really. It's as fascinating as it is heart warming. One of my favorite Tested videos to date. Thank you for posting!
Tom Lipton's part is probably better than the original 😁. So many of my friends involved in this project. Very nice job on all the parts. Congratulations!
Yes - the machinists' parts were by far the most spectacular. 3D print has its place, but there was too much in my view. Such a shame Jimmy's hinges didn't survive the journey - they were very beautiful. But the gearbox (NYC CNC), the pressure release valve (Tom), the handle (can't recall who) and Fran's exquisite latch stole the show for me.
Tom Lipton works at Berkley Labs. A sub-contractor to the real space programs. So, technically, the closest to an original part anyone could ever make!
Yeah probably not though. Even if any of these parts were dimensionally perfect to the drawings provided, they're still made from a guy that drew his dimensional conclusions from a 3D scan. Also, unlike the original, they not only lack the geometric tolerances present in the originals, but the materials used are certain to be outside the spec of the original parts. That being said, it's obvious that some talented machinists had their hands in the recreation of this.
What is not awesome about this!!? A joyful experience making all the parts by various people and when they fit up together... the feeling is just fabulous. Thanks Adam! I really hope if I could join up such projects with people all around the world!!..... And it was awesome seeing the people from the crowd just come up to help you guys! ... Like the kind of interest people develop watching you guys build things ... Awesome!
I was slightly disappointed that John Saunders' assembly didn't get more attention. It's nearly a nice as Tom Lipton's. This should of been a two day event. One day of just unpacking the parts and meeting each maker. Not just a rush to assemble the full thing. A model of the ISS would be a fun project to do as a maker collaboration like this.
who tf disliked this? edit: The skills involved to fabricate these things and the time put in from so many of these talented people needs to be respected, let alone the fact of pulling together cooperative project like this is insanely hard .
This was such an awesome project, an amazing group of makers and an unforgettable one day build to experience in person! You should absolutely do more live builds, Adam! It was a total blast to be there!
This video happened to be released the day I began a road trip from TX to PA, with a planned stop in DC. It was incredible to see this on display at the Air & Space Museum. A truly great artistic homage to the history. Amazing work by all of the contributors. Love the channel.
Adam, I'm literally crying because of how beautiful not only the build is, but also because how beautiful it is to me that so many people, "gave a damn," about this. Growing up on Long Island when Grumman was still there, gave me an appreciation for what went into creating all of this from scratch - things liked the LM. Now, I get to see the Hatch created from the dreams and efforts of so many. Thank you - ALL of you, for this.
Wow Adam has some mad engineer skills. His excitement is contagious. I am looking forward to seeing it completed. Thank you for posting. A fantastic project that had people around America making the different parts. It reminds me how great a nation we live in. Happy New year to all of the fans of science around the world. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA.
I can't explain the feeling this project gave me. Something about watching several of these makers on their channels all collectively working on something sort-of sight unseen, purely building from models and photos... Oof. Gave me the chills in a good way! I admire everyone who contributed to this project, several of whom I am a regular subscriber / consumer of your videos! Side shout out to Andrew Barth - I really think he deserves that thank you. I can only imagine how much work was involved with modeling all those parts. I hope people appreciate and understand that '3d scanning' the hatch isn't a simple one and done task haha. I know there were hundreds of hours of modeling involved on top of it! Nice work dude!
I'm a bit late, but thank you! It took quite a few hours and lots of conversations with Jen and the Smithsonian DPO to get it done. I'm still very proud of this collaboration nearly 4 years later.
My Dad was an Aeronautical Engineer with NASA on the Apollo program....he worked on this hatch. Explosive bolts for emergency. It was not implemented due to likley to cause deafness. He told me the details when I asked him alot of questions. It was a great time. Great to see this build.
Absolutely wonderful to see the amazing creativity of such a diverse community of makers. A brilliant way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and display the unlimited potential of human invention.
A great example of how our country put a man on the moon. Over 400,000 people were involved. Just like this project everyone contributed to the end product. If we are shown a mission we can rise to the challenge set forth. A well done to ALL of you.
I watched the build livestream which was fascinating! A couple weeks later I got to see the actual hatch door in person, which is an incredible piece of engineering and manufacturing. Now seeing this just brings it all together. Several of my friends contributed, so amazing to see their work now on display in the Smithsonian. Such a wonderful project. Congrats to all involved.
So glad I waited. Took a while for me to hear about this but when i did, I watched all of the sub assembly builds first and then watched the final assembly. Amazing work.
Working in a "job shop" ,as a machinist, this is pretty accurate idea of many days at the shop working on various assemblies. Just a handful of people working around each other, problem solving, re- fabicating small parts, making adjustments, etc.. to get the job done. Great video, brings back memories. I know work in more of a factory setting, so mainly just machining mass production type parts. Not like the job shop where we made a lot of one off designs. Prototypes, jigs , and fixtures.
Good old Adam with his CA glue 😂.. An award going to every single person who partook in this project and may their name be held for ever more...well done guys, pat yourselves on your back 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🏆😊
This was so cool. Truly remarkable how all these builders came together to make this thing happen. It looks fantastic. Also a shout out to Estefannie......WOOOOOOOOO GO ESTEFANNIE YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Adam. I don't mean to hijack your youtube channel with off-topic posts, but I saw your ET interview regarding Jesse Combs and I wanted to say it was beautifully done. You are such a genuine person and your comments obviously came from the heart. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with those of us who only knew her through television.
I really enjoyed this, the fact that so many talented makers could get involved to create one amazing build in the spirit of the massive collaboration of the Apollo program.... inspiring. More builds like this please 😀
As a McMaster-Carr employee it warmed my heart to see parts inside our bags at the 10:04 mark. I love knowing we were at least a small part of this build.
this was truly wonderful .... and more so what people who LOVE the project can do to help keep the History of Apollo alive .. thank you all who worked on it this si wonderful
6:21 in the bottom left corner, at 8:19 you can see a guy wearing a TOT shirt haha,11:38 shewas mounting one of tonys parts, 13:18 his part was assembled
This is amazing, but it leaves me in awe at the job that was done to build and assemble the real hardware where the fit had to be perfect. A truly astounding example of project management.
This was amazing. I'd love to see close up images of it. Watching so many of my favorite makers build their parts was great. Thank you tested and all involved!
Yes....I've been waiting for this video awhile myself.... it was an amazing feat to coordinate, and build this.... but again, this was done to commemorate all the workers, engineers, and astronauts that worked diligently with that one goal in mind, it had to work, and it had to keep lives safe. But just think of all the design criteria that had to go into this.... not just tolerances, but stress forces, pressure requirements,and human engineering... and don't forget material analysis...for weight constraints... it's truly mind boggling.
It's interesting to see the ways things sometimes don't fit. There's no way to avoid it, things are more complicated outside the vacuum of ones own personal project.
Eli Whitney cracked that nut early in the 19th century when he invented interchangeable parts. Today complex products are assembled of parts sourced from a variety of manufacturers. The Command Module was built by one company though.
This kind of project gives me faith in humanity. Despite the politicians, the rich, the capitalists, people can come together for something that isn't for them, or even for the "betterment of mankind", just because we could do it.
This journey to the final build must be a story in itself, it would have been amazing to be there having made a singular part of the whole seeing it all come together
Unfortunately I was only able to catch a part of the live stream that day. It was cool though to see it all come together in near real time on the stream. I particularly remember a specific quote from Adam when he was vacuuming after getting everything assembled, "Proof that Adam Savage always cleans up after himself." I now think of that line everytime I'm done with a project and vacuuming up saw dust and stuff with my cordless vac. :-)
Being a long time follower of NYC CNC, Oxtoolco, and This Old Tony, I was really looking forward to see a working model of the door. What a beautiful mechanism. It was ramping up to be a dream project for us machinists and fabricators. However we got something different but still good in it's own way. The project really helped exposing all those worthless "makers" for what they are. What a brilliant plan! Too bad the participants who made proper parts put in so much work for nothing. And as professionals, their respective companies probably took a publicity hit by getting involved with those "makers". I bet none of the serious participants would have dreamed there would be an idiot involved, who would make a space grade door hinge out of wood and so on and so forth.
This was great to watch, in the days before GD&T it could take up to 5 prototypes to get an assembly to work. Thank you to Smithsonian, you and NASA for uploading this build project and all the subs that made the parts.
Like, like, like! A follow a bunch of the makers for bits of this and have been eagerly waiting for the final assembly. Fantastic job by all involved! Bravo!
There's also the matter of a whole bunch of parts (like some of the the 3D printed stuff) that likely wouldn't be able to take the strain and would just snap.
@noxxi knox It was only the locking mechanism that was proposed to work. A series linkage like that is a pain to deal when everything is built to NASA tolerances but add a +/-5% to the equation and it could take days to tweek even if the all the parts can take it. They only had a few hours. Since the door is a stand alone exhibit the hinged did not need to work. The parts I was surprised about where the windows. There was no excuse for the exterior window to be a 1/4" over in CNCed MDF. As for the interior window, as someone who deals with castings on a regular basis, we always account for casting shrinkage when we build the plug and mold. For this part to be 10% under is a rookie mistake made my someone who is suppose to be a professional.
@noxxi knox MDF does have it's place and I have burned through a lot of it through the years. Although admittedly this is mostly in plugs, shop fixtures and one-off interior elements for things like halloween sets.
The Smithsonian folks giving you all the footage... so glad they did -as I heard on the podcast. I missed the live stream Glad I was able to see the finished hatch.
This is such an incredible object! Hats off to everyone involved! Let’s not forget one more group though, the brilliant Apollo engineers who had to design the original with slide rules and pencils!

Working in a "job shop" ,as a machinist, this is pretty accurate idea of many days at the shop working on various assemblies.
Just a handful of people working around each other, problem solving, re- fabicating small parts, making adjustments, etc.. to get the job done.
Great video, brings back memories.
I know work in more of a factory setting, so mainly just machining mass production type parts. Not like the job shop where we made a lot of one off designs. Prototypes, jigs , and fixtures.
Good old Adam with his CA glue 😂..
An award going to every single person who partook in this project and may their name be held for ever more...well done guys, pat yourselves on your back 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🏆😊
This was so cool. Truly remarkable how all these builders came together to make this thing happen. It looks fantastic. Also a shout out to Estefannie......WOOOOOOOOO GO ESTEFANNIE YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Love the applause that breaks out at 8:12 when Adam hammers the part home! Great crowd…
Oxtool with the machines to spec valve. :)
Can't wait to see his full build
Adam. I don't mean to hijack your youtube channel with off-topic posts, but I saw your ET interview regarding Jesse Combs and I wanted to say it was beautifully done. You are such a genuine person and your comments obviously came from the heart. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with those of us who only knew her through television.
I really enjoyed this, the fact that so many talented makers could get involved to create one amazing build in the spirit of the massive collaboration of the Apollo program.... inspiring. More builds like this please 😀
As a McMaster-Carr employee it warmed my heart to see parts inside our bags at the 10:04 mark. I love knowing we were at least a small part of this build.
So grateful to be a part of this community challenge / project! Honored(?) to have my ceramic linkage taken to the angle grinder!
this was truly wonderful .... and more so what people who LOVE the project can do to help keep the History of Apollo alive .. thank you all who worked on it this si wonderful
Yea !!!!!!!!! A one day build. Very Cool !!!!!!!!!! Adam.
All that awesomeness on one stage together is overwhelming. What a time to be alive.
had a smile on my face the whole video. Congrats adam and everyone
It was amazing to watch the makers channels and see everything premade. To finally witness the build from so many contributors was inspiring.
"Like birthing an Uruk-hai." This woman truly geeks. #Respect
do you have the time stamp?

WHOM DO YOU SERVE?
Adam is the GOAT.
6:21 in the bottom left corner, at 8:19 you can see a guy wearing a TOT shirt haha,11:38 shewas mounting one of tonys parts, 13:18 his part was assembled
This is amazing, but it leaves me in awe at the job that was done to build and assemble the real hardware where the fit had to be perfect. A truly astounding example of project management.
found myself! I'm on Tested yay! This really was an amazing build to witness in person.
This was amazing. I'd love to see close up images of it. Watching so many of my favorite makers build their parts was great. Thank you tested and all involved!
WOW!!!! JUST WOW!!! I am planning a family visit now to the Smithsonian now just to see this display.
Yes....I've been waiting for this video awhile myself.... it was an amazing feat to coordinate, and build this.... but again, this was done to commemorate all the workers, engineers, and astronauts that worked diligently with that one goal in mind, it had to work, and it had to keep lives safe. But just think of all the design criteria that had to go into this.... not just tolerances, but stress forces, pressure requirements,and human engineering... and don't forget material analysis...for weight constraints... it's truly mind boggling.
So many talented people in one place. Maker heaven.
@ 11:40 how relieved she is when the part from @This Old Tony fits perfectly 😂
The man knows what his doing
I’m on tested. Neat. What a cool build to see in person. Great to see this video finally posted.
Adam was in heaven. How many unboxings was that? And then putting it all together like a Lego set!
He was, in fact, in heaven.
I was lucky enough to be there to watch the whole build, it's so incredible to watch this back and relive those memories. :D
It's interesting to see the ways things sometimes don't fit. There's no way to avoid it, things are more complicated outside the vacuum of ones own personal project.
I lol'd at Adam going HAM with the chisel
Eli Whitney cracked that nut early in the 19th century when he invented interchangeable parts. Today complex products are assembled of parts sourced from a variety of manufacturers. The Command Module was built by one company though.
Thank you Andrew.
Amazing project.
This kind of project gives me faith in humanity. Despite the politicians, the rich, the capitalists, people can come together for something that isn't for them, or even for the "betterment of mankind", just because we could do it.
This journey to the final build must be a story in itself, it would have been amazing to be there having made a singular part of the whole seeing it all come together
That CNC NYC 5 axis machined door latch is a work of art!!
Watching the build videos I was transfixed by 2 things: the hatch itself, and Mel Ho's fashions ✨👌💜
Unfortunately I was only able to catch a part of the live stream that day. It was cool though to see it all come together in near real time on the stream. I particularly remember a specific quote from Adam when he was vacuuming after getting everything assembled, "Proof that Adam Savage always cleans up after himself." I now think of that line everytime I'm done with a project and vacuuming up saw dust and stuff with my cordless vac. :-)
Being a long time follower of NYC CNC, Oxtoolco, and This Old Tony, I was really looking forward to see a working model of the door. What a beautiful mechanism. It was ramping up to be a dream project for us machinists and fabricators. However we got something different but still good in it's own way. The project really helped exposing all those worthless "makers" for what they are. What a brilliant plan!
Too bad the participants who made proper parts put in so much work for nothing. And as professionals, their respective companies probably took a publicity hit by getting involved with those "makers". I bet none of the serious participants would have dreamed there would be an idiot involved, who would make a space grade door hinge out of wood and so on and so forth.
This was a massive undertaking to build this... I look forward to seeing Adam make another, for his own collection!
I LOVE all the different materials!!!
This was great to watch, in the days before GD&T it could take up to 5 prototypes to get an assembly to work. Thank you to Smithsonian, you and NASA for uploading this build project and all the subs that made the parts.
10:58 “There’s two McMaster boxes over there...” Only two?! 😆
Great job to all and Andrew!!
Like, like, like!
A follow a bunch of the makers for bits of this and have been eagerly waiting for the final assembly. Fantastic job by all involved! Bravo!
I luv how they got Adam on stage performing some what simple building techniques and every starring at him like he's a god 😃
OxToolco, Tom's part by far stands out the best.. Jimmy did wonderful work also..
MetalWorks Machine Shop Non fonctionnal but wonderfull.
BUT!! They never showed it working, and locking and unlocking!
I really wanted to see it operate!
Based on the placement of that last dab of CA glue and kicker by Adam I don't think that is going to happen.
@@chrisose, sadly you may be correct.
There's also the matter of a whole bunch of parts (like some of the the 3D printed stuff) that likely wouldn't be able to take the strain and would just snap.
@noxxi knox It was only the locking mechanism that was proposed to work. A series linkage like that is a pain to deal when everything is built to NASA tolerances but add a +/-5% to the equation and it could take days to tweek even if the all the parts can take it. They only had a few hours.
Since the door is a stand alone exhibit the hinged did not need to work.
The parts I was surprised about where the windows. There was no excuse for the exterior window to be a 1/4" over in CNCed MDF. As for the interior window, as someone who deals with castings on a regular basis, we always account for casting shrinkage when we build the plug and mold. For this part to be 10% under is a rookie mistake made my someone who is suppose to be a professional.
@noxxi knox MDF does have it's place and I have burned through a lot of it through the years. Although admittedly this is mostly in plugs, shop fixtures and one-off interior elements for things like halloween sets.
Adam: [breaks something]
Crowd: *Claps*
Favorite One Day Build Ever!
Tom Lipton's gets the nod... probably the best-made part, basically flight hardware. Go Ox Tool!
The Smithsonian folks giving you all the footage... so glad they did -as I heard on the podcast. I missed the live stream Glad I was able to see the finished hatch.
Wow. Just wow. Thank you so much for doing this!!!!!!
Loving catching up on this backlog. All the maker are really endearing.
That thing looks like an argument. Despite the chaos,it has a sublime beauty to it.
Ahh.. Happy Before Covid times.When I think of it while watching similar videos of happy crowds I almost wanna cry..
This is such an incredible object! Hats off to everyone involved!
Let’s not forget one more group though, the brilliant Apollo engineers who had to design the original with slide rules and pencils!
North American Aviation designed and built the CSM.
