Oh my god i had the same thoughts i would like to live his life i have so much ideas but i dont have all this machines and things but i think in a bit of time i also will get a room where i can bring all my ideas to life. Sry for writting so much but its so satisfying to see other people building stuff you can learn so much only by watching him building stuff i never thought about to use masking tape to cut someghing out ok now i stop its awsome to look this videos pls never stop.
My wife hates his organized chaos lol. But I feel like I can live vicariously through his work. I don't have 95% of the tools I need for the ideas in my head. Or the motivation that Adam has.
I've noticed that I genuinely feel more cheerful and energetic on days when I've watched any of these videos. There's not much else out there that has that sort of effect on me.
Adam: “Precision is of the utmost importance” Also Adam: * Shakily holding dial caliper 3 feet from what he’s measuring while squinting to read it* “ Yea thats about 7/8ths of an inch”
Every machinist was groaning at adams use of calipers and micrometers. I became a test engineer because of this man... but a little part of me died watching him use the tools. I love you Adam! But you're not allowed to touch my Bridgeport.
I want a video of just Adam explaining how he’s now working to within 1-2/10,000 of an inch spliced with him using increasingly large hammers to pound a brass piece into an old lamp stand.
Oh boy. This sounds like me 3D printing. I think 80% of my first 25-30 prints were all parts for the printer before I caught myself and finally started creating new things.
I couldn't stop watching this, it was very, very satisfying to watch. I need to go to bed and yet watched for a whole 1.5 hours. Adam's enthusiasm is contagious and I'm so here for it! A true craftsman at work.
While watching the video I'm also reading comments. When I read this comment I paused the video and noted I'm at 24:49 with another 1:03:30 to go and I need to drag myself out of bed prepair breakfast (wife is out of town) and get to work, I don't have time to finish the video before work.
This is my guilty pleasure Adam Savage Tested Video. I have seen it probably a dozen or more times and watch it from start to finish every time. It is a perfect storm of everything working and problem solving and Ah-Ha moments combined with the sheer joy you express at each stage of the build. Well done Sir… Well done.
I watched the first ten minutes having forgotten what the video was about. I was so fascinated by Adam's journey of precision. Love seeing Savage in his natural territory.
Adam at the end: "I don't think I quite deserve this set yet." Also Adam: *spent untold hours of work meticulously making a better box just to store them*
Kinda missed the point of my post by arguing about semantics. I'm just saying he clearly does deserve them if he's putting this much work into protecting them.
While i get your point: My take for that line was, that he himself does not feel that he is at point with his measurements to have that set yet. (English is not my native language, so the thought might drown in a sentence.)
I really enjoyed that, particularly your enthusiasm. My first job was designing electronics, drafting circuit boards with crape tape and Staedtler pens (4:1 actual size). You'll get better results with the pens if you train yourself to hold them perpendicular to the surface, it took me ages, but it was worth it. Seeing you shaking them made me want to dig out all my old drafting stuff and draw something without a computer, thanks! :)
Adam talking about precision, the history of tools and reaching a higher peak of mastery of craft Me watching him label 1 - 10: pfft I can count that high easy
I used a set just like this in the late 70's. There are marks in the lid where there used to be ribs covered in felt to hold the micrometers securely for transport.
I simply love how excited Adam gets over building something nice for nice tools with nice tools. This is the same level of excitement I have when making things and Adam just animates and articulates the feelings so well. Love your work Adam.
Not to get too sappy but thank you for what you put out, Adam. My dad passed away recently and woodworking projects were something we used to bond over and watching this reminded me of him quite a lot, including your drumming quirks and excitement. It's got me thinking I need a new project to work on to work through some of my grief. So thank you.
I love seeing Adam so excited about a project. Awesome maximization of space--the original creator of the set would be so proud to see the refurbishment and extension of the usefulness of the case, I'm sure.
I can absolutely relate to your excitement about this build. I have this passion about all my projects. I started machining when I was 19 and I took so much pride in my tools, what little I had at that age and just starting the trade. I built myself a tool box and put in there the tools I acquired over time. So so proud and it was obvious. Anyways.. one of the journeymen in the shop seen what I had done and literally smashed it with a hammer right in front of me. He was so pissed for some reason. I'll never forget it. Devastating to say the least. That was 25 years ago. I can also relate to this video because the shop I worked in had the exact same set of mititoyo micrometers that I could only dream of owning. This video really hit home.
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can't measure something, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it. If you can't control it, you can't improve it.” Great Video Adam!
Absolutely fabulous vintage precision tool, your passion for these is so contagious. The upgrades to the storage gives great honor to the original. Well done sir.
I loved this chapter, for two things: 1.- I love making boxes, for all kinds of uses, and with compartments, of all kinds of materials and coatings, I love it 2.- and most importantly, when I was little my aunt gave me a set of Rotring rapidrograpg from 0.1 to 1.0... I drew my whole life, over time I had the new models and also many Steadlers. I loved drawing on polyester paper. Thank you for such a nice program. A hug from Chile, SouthAmerica
Adam, I love the genuine excitement that you have for all your projects. I also really enjoy the fact that you show the problem solving/idea process thru the project, instead of a step by step after the fact. thanks for the entertainment and inspiration. keep it up!
Isn't cold welding similar to explosive welding? In explosive welding the peices are pushed together while they are cold and way below the melting point. In fact, it seems explosive welding is the exact same thing as cold welding
As a machinist of more than 20 years, this brings me both great pleasure and intense anxiety. Great love for the tools, wonderful mic stand, much needed improvements with the cradles, great restoration of the hardware, wonderful labels, all great things that bring me a great bit of joy...but A. drawers full of loose mics and B. a drawer that interferes with the latch, makes me itch but a wonder full job all the same, now I have a project this weekend
Great video. And very useful to me, since I also just bought a set of 12 Mitutoyo micrometers. Mine came in two wooden boxes, and the box for the six larger micrometers got smashed up even worse than yours did. This video gave me some good ideas for fixing it.
Adam after using the rust remover on the hardware “it looks brand new!” Also Adam “our next build is weathering the hardware so it doesn’t look so new!”
Yeah, I was half expecting that. For that box, the hardware just can't look too nice, it needs some grit to it. Although, give it a bit of time and that should sort itself out I guess. ;)
I just love to watch Adam build boxes. I’m working on a design for a new rolling work station and his box videos provide so much incite into great workflow and utility
There is a FOURTH use for dial/digital caliper, you can measure shoulders from the top head and bottom head, very useful with a shoulder because the depth gauge is difficult to keep square. Hope that's a useful tip for some and makes sense. :) (for example - Adam could have used it from the top at 23:00 to measure the location of his cradles)
I know this won't be seen but I don't know the first thing about making, building, tools, gauges etc. But I am addicted to these videos. Adam's enthusiasm BLEEDS through the camera and makes the viewer excited for something most would probably consider quite dry content. I love this channel.
Love your discovery of the sanding disc mitre slot being off. I had a set square for 8 years and wondered why my woodworking was bad until i found the set square was not square!
53:44 Just a small hint: prevent touching the standards at their metal ends (especially the flat) to avoid corrosion due your hand's sweat. That why they have a non-metal handle in the middle.
I have a friend at a museum that is pretty mad at visitors "looking with their fingers". He says their exhibits partly have (well, had) the original paint job, and the fat from your fingers you invariably leave behind is acidic and, added up, eats away the paint, esp. of the late german WW II planes where the paint was abysmally bad.
Light machine oil, leave them unloaded, silicone packets in the case. temperature affects when going ten thousands.never engrave them. Keep standards in silicone packets ziplock is perfect. You will go nuts measuring everything common to you, like the clear wrapper of a pack of cigarettes is two thousands gap on a magneto for a Harley. Book of matches 15 thousands, points. So on
This was one of my favorite builds! Part of it is your immense love for the project, the other part is such an awesome subject to enhance and make your own.
I thankfully had some great teachers during my 19 years of life and just listening to you I could tell you would be one of those, you guys tend to explain alot of non written stuff that I truly appreciate, that's what sharpens a maker, experience and you are the kind of person that takes peoples minds to that place and that moment to learn from it, love your channel man, it's clear you enjoy what you do more than anything and so do I seeing it.
Some people are real special. It's hard to put into words, and Adam is one of those people. Best way I could word it is someone who can make something you would never care about very interesting. Like I could careless about space, the stars, astrophysics. But Neil deGrasse Tyson, his passion makes me pay attention, and the facts he shares and the way he explains it make me wanna get into it more and more. He can explain things on every level and trap almost anyone into wanting to learn and then share his information. Then you listen to another astrophysicist, and it sux. Well, Adam has that type of power. He's so enthusiastic and genuinely enjoys what he's doing. Explains everything to keep everyone included, in a way that everyone can understand. And he's cool and welcoming. So much so you wanna be in the shop with him helping out! Love the channel! I'll definitely be supporting!
Some measure in five ways. Mine has a set of recess points on the back that allow you to transfer a measurement form a compass or set of trammel points. Also some have a thumb wheel that works somewhat similar to the way the ratchet on a micrometer does.
Joyous one day build. I was dubious about adding the “Mike stand” to the box but it makes it all the more beautiful. And keeping the previous marks/ notes on the outside of the box. Just adds to the story of this. Love it!
Rewatching this as I often do your One Day Builds; I wonder if you've thought of a way to secure the drawers in. I couldn't help but think a couple of well-placed magnets would give a decent, and non-permanent, method of keeping the draws from accidentally popping out during transit. Time to continue my journey to another One Day Build.
One way I can think of doing is put a latch on the inside just like one of those hook and latches with the little guard on it to keep it from popping off. That way you could have a main lock on the on the top without worrying about the drawers coming out. The other thing I thought about was a cover for the boxes that'll go in there so stuff that's in them don't go flying around either
It sounded like they also arrived in a state of griminess and disrepair, so I'm getting more of a "we found these in dad's garage after he passed" vibe there, rather than someone who knows how to ship and handle antiquated but still useful tools.
Well, Adam then ruined it by using brass handles on the drawers while all the other hardware is steel, so nobody needs to feel bad about the whole thing.
@@mm9773 How is that ruining anything. If you notice, he also used brass screws for some of the parts, namely because brass and wood are far greater friends than steel and wood. It would probably take too much time remaking everything in brass, as well as requiring some machining skills that Adam does not yet have, but besides it's only looks and have nothing to do with the micrometers themselves
My dad was a machinist for Texas Instruments, and did the prototype work for engineering the last half of his career. For a person who had no actual formal education, and dropped out to help support the family at a rather young age. He was apparently one heck of a natural machinist, and had drawers full of high end by Starrett, and a couple other manufacturers, B&S, and Mitutoyo is what filled all his Kennedy boxes. He apparently spent a great deal of money for his tools, and back in his day, I know they didn't make a lot of money compared to today's wages. Yet he believed in having the best to do his job, and unfortunately they ended up in the wrong hands, and there was nothing my mom are any of us could do about it. Sadly they all probably were given away for next to nothing at garage sales we had no way of knowing about. He left them to his younger brother, and when he passed his daughter got them, and that's another story altogether, but they're gone hard fact of life. Sorry for rattling on about nothing, but just kinda hit a nerve is all.
Specialty items like precision tools will always find their way back into the hands of a person who appreciates them. When you see them in yard sales or at the Goodwill they are just on their way back to a new owner who will appreciate them for what they are. It works like this because the people who know what these things are, are always on the look out for them.
My adhd brain aligns with your chaotic explanation of today's one day build. I love the deep spiral of 'let's measure everything in the workshop while we're at it!'
My grandfather was a master machinist for Lynch Machinery after he returned from WWII until he retired in the early 90's. After he passed away suddenly in 1998, my father's brother in law convinced my grandmother that his tools were worthless and basically sold them for penny's... without consulting my father. They were supposed to be handed down to my Dad and eventually me. When dad went to check on them, everything was gone. My brother in law was proud of the 20 or so bucks my grandmother made from his literally 45 year career and all of the tools that go with it. Likely many many thousands of dollars worth of irreplaceable tools and priceless notes. Gone forever. I thought my Dad was going to go to prison that day.
At the very end when Adam spoke of & showed his Demerit badges I became very happy. As someone that was in the advanced electronics field in the US Navy aboard nuclear ballistic missile submarines I often responded to peoples’ questions about how things worked. I would respond with magic smoke. As long as you contained the magic smoke things would work. If you let the magic smoke escape, it would no longer work! And the former badge is the opposite of what Norm Abrams would espouse, “Measure twice, cut once”. Awesome. This was such a soothing and delightfully entertaining episode.
Some of us have to do both because the US did not convert to metric but many imported products are metric. Some from China are in both. Its really not an issue as long as one has the corresponding tools and instruments.
Hey editors ! I just wanted to point out theres quite a few audio editing mistakes sometimes when it changes camera shot , its not a big deal but I figure it might be helpful to know in case it slipped through and wasnt noticed ! I've been noticing a couple of these audio errors lately ;)
Could be A to B and B to A shot changes? Maybe not what you're referring to, but once you start looking and listening for them in video media you'll notice that they're EVERYWHERE. Not necessarily bad, but interesting to catch.
A little tip for those cans of wood stain anyone has laying around: throw a little nut or screw in the can before you put the lid back on. Next time you can shake it like a spray can to get it mixed up easier.
I appreciate that Adam and Tested do not play background tracks throughout the entire episode. It allows me to play my preferred choice in the background while I listen to Adam. Cheers all!
Today “awesome” moms make TikTok videos with their kids, and get drunk with them. YOUR mom was a friggin gunsmith, and taught you the craft. That’s the definition of awesome!
To be honest, this is truly what i love, someone who appreciates their tools, and especially how important it is to store them properly instead of laying around or having room to spare... Precision, for precision tooling is as perfectly adequate as a micrometer measuring a micrometer... And with the precision youre putting in, those micrometers will be sure of measuring micrometers! Love it Adam, keep it up
I'm a 5-6 year CNC Machinist and part-time fabricator. Grew up obsessed with Adam's shows. He absolutely helped forge my interest and eventual journey in being a maker. I hope Mr. Savage understands the impact he had made on multiple generations of us.
What's the point of him labeling things in ink that he instantly knows the size of by sight? I guess when he's dead and his family takes that and all the other stuff to the pawn shops, marketplace and flea markets for crack money the new owners know the sizes
Hey Adam, great content. There’s a fourth way to measure with your calipers. On the opposite side from the tail you’ll notice when you close the calipers the outside edges become flush. Those two faces are used for situations similar to the tail (depth measurements), but because they are so wide it’s particularly suited for measuring step like features. The wide base helps ensure the measurement is perpendicular to the surface. Cheers
@tested loved this video, one suggestion to take it to the next level: Drill a vertical hole on the top edge of the lower cabinet centered above each drawer all the way through into the drawer face. Drill a shallower but slightly larger diameter concentric hole in which you can drop a spring, and then turn a rod with a step so that it rests on the spring and is just proud of the top lip by 1/4" while open, and cut the rod so it's even with the top edge of the drawer opening when the lid is open. In this way, you can ensure the drawers stay closed when the lid is closed and latched. You could also machine a small externally threaded ferrule that could be inserted into the top of the lower cabinet after the rod and spring are inserted to capture the rod mechanism so it wouldn't be loose. I've seen some old machinist chests with a similar setup to hold a panel on the front.

My great grandfather was a builder, and I inherited two of his toolboxes, with drills and with files. One box is broken, but the other has sliding trays and a secret compartment in the cover (holds a 'girlie picture'!). You've inspired me to see how I might restore that second toolbox. And the rapidograph pen takes me back to my college years, when we used rapidograph pens for drawing and labeling our geologic maps. Thank you for another inspiring video.
Hi Adam big fan spent my younger years working with wood doing carpentry and upholstery. I'm now 36 have restarted my life and am getting into tool making. Feel you 100 % when you talk about 1 10th of 1 thousandths of an inch wow. Love the show keep having the best job ever!
Awesome video Adam, I love watching you work! especially your woodwork side, it's so satisfying :) also, nice touch with the pens at the end, came up a treat :)
Gotta love how Adam goes on about his new found fondness of precision and these tools he has acquired to be more precise, then proceeds to customize their box nearly completely by eye.
The knowledge that he does the "hand drum thinking," as I call it, too is pretty neat. All my buddies make fun of me for it when I get in a groove and start my concert 😅🤣
What a total thrill to watch you put together this work of art! Your enthusiasm is absolutely contagious! I learn so, so much from watching your videos that I am now sharing them with nerds who are NOT! into tools! Thank you!
A business license is not terribly expensive. If you start an etsy shop to turn your avocation into a vocation you don't actually have to turn a profit in order to expense the purchases.
Seeing this 12/9/21. Completely understand how you feel. About 6 years ago I found a set of Mitutoyo micrometers that had barely even been breathed on at an estate sale. I asked how they were going to ship them & they were just going to put them inside a standard size box with a bit of bubble wrap but nothing else. After realizing they were going to be bounced around be a USPS guy that was having a really bad day & was off his medication, I quickly told them to hold off on the shipping until I sent a boatload of foam padding to use inside & out. Fortunately, to the great relief of my blood pressure, they packed it properly & shipped it UPS. Got it for about 75% off so it was completely worth the cost of sending the packing materials & shipping UPS. I very much understand how you feel when opening the box. You just can’t help staring, & drooling, at them in all there precision glory. Thanks for the video. I’m following it to the letter on my box. I was originally trained as a machinist but I’m now disabled & appreciate having one less thing to worry about. Keep on making great videos! It’s greatly appreciated! Ed
This video makes me so happy I went to a Vocational School and we had this exact box of 1-12" micrometers pretty much even down to the green so the fact that he appreciates these so much makes me smile
FYI, calibration of micrometers (and calipers) does not only consist of adjusting "zeros" but also of checking linearity using a set of gauge blocks over the span of each micrometer.
Cool vid -- informative, enjoyable, & inspiring -- tnx 4 sharing. Two suggestions ... I saw that the top of the lid splintered out when the holes for the "mic stand" were drilled through. Starting with small pilot holes from the placement marks on the inside to the outside followed by coming from the outer face in with the full diameter bit could have helped avoid that. Then any roughness from coming through on the inside would have been hidden by the felt. I suspect Adam already knows this and just got over excited and rushed it (kinda' ironic having thought to put some little slices in the felt before drilling to protect it, but then forgetting to use similar caution for the finish of the outside surface). I noticed that no mention of the tearout was made and it seemed like direct views afterward were avoided, this may have involved one of those peeved self critical frustration situations Adam has, elsewhere, alluded to skipping over at times in final edits. Also, I think the front drawers might benefit from having some sort of way to brace them in place, hold them closed, so they don't accidently slide out when moving the box around or transporting it. Some sort of clip or pin either inside or outside and/or some magnet, friction, or spring mechanism providing initial resistance to opening when fully closed.
something similar happened with the right drawer, when he showed the cut front for the first time I thought: oh, I wonder what he'll do now that he cut the drawer so high that it went under the lock. couldn't see it while the masking tape was on to keep the front of the wood safe during the sawing. his solution was sweet, though I imagine he was really bummed when he first noticed it. in the end these really are the beautiful little imprecisions that make life fulfilling. and the part with drilling the holes through the top was a good example for that notion of Laotzu I often am reminded of by my own doings: mind the end like the beginning... such are the little eccentricities that we all embody...
What a wonderful project for a weekend. It encompasses everything. Machining, carpentry, weathering, it is a container construction and it is for precision tools. I would love to have to do this over a couple of days. Once again, sir i find myself envious of your position. Have fun!
You just have to love a guy that gets excellent used tools and then proceeds to clean them up like new again. I do the same soon as it arrives or get it home.
And now we sing the “I Hate Slotted Screws Song” I hate slotted screws. I hate slotted screws! Oh, they make me turn to booze. How I hate them slotted screws!!
Ive always loved watching your one day builds and this one is one of my favorites. I especially liked the energy you had in this video. It seemed like you really were having fun and just bouncing around the shop a little quicker than usual.. then i realized i had this playing @1.25 speed!!!
"How to cut out the drawers"... have you considered an "oscillating multitool" (I think that's the English term) - it has seved me a ton of work in such cases already.
I had in mind to drill out a hole (or 4 for all 4 corners) and use the saw like a normal person doing woodwork, but he wanted to do it that way, so.... Though, after the hardware was put in, I noticed one of the drawers was too tall since it interfered with opening, so he had to sacrifice a bit of it to make it work. Evidently, the locking loop was also in the way, so he had to flip it up just to close the drawer as well. Foresight would have prevented that design flaw, but at least he made it work to make as much space as he could put all his other mics in, as well as the mic stand. Repurposing got done and that's what he wanted. Machining is a bit that way too. More than one way to skin a cat, so you just send it.
The weighted wire is actually a valve, and nothing more. When the rapidograph pen is placed on the surface, it is pushed back and it allows ink to fall out of the reserve, which is replaced by air that goes through the metered air maze on the side of the valve body. A rapidograph should never be held at any position on the paper other than perpendicular to it, as the nib will eventually wear out unevenly and ink will overcome the metered air maze, which results in blobs of ink. edit: rather than shaking the rapidograph, which can damage the wire in finer tipped pens (where the wire is basically as thin as a human hair), you're supposed to squeeze the body of the ink reserve whilst pressing the tip unto a paper and slowly dragging it down. Five 4 cm long lines are almost always enough to prime the system.
I grew up watching myth busters and now I am a 26 year old journeyman Machinist/CNC Programmer/welder/Fabricator and work in quality engineering @ Tesla. Thank you for helping me find what I love to do🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Hand down..... The World's most finely (and accurately) crafted Micrometer storage / organization / protective enclosure to exist. A fine job sir ..... A fine job indeed.
This man's happiness is so bloody contagious. Also those whistle sounds make me chuckle everytime.

I came here to look for this comment, I wasn't disappointed 😏
That’s usually when things go horribly sideways
How many times he said "One last thing..." 😂
Every Adam video is a proof of the 80/20 rule. Or worse.
I love that he is measuring a box full of measuring tools, with measuring tape.
Which he made VERY clear early on was a WILDLY inaccurate measuring tool

Meet Adam Savage. His hobby is building boxes for tools, and aquiring new tools so he can build better boxes for his new tools... ;)
What's your point? (LOL)
Oh boy. This sounds like me 3D printing. I think 80% of my first 25-30 prints were all parts for the printer before I caught myself and finally started creating new things.
Sounds about right

I really enjoyed that, particularly your enthusiasm. My first job was designing electronics, drafting circuit boards with crape tape and Staedtler pens (4:1 actual size). You'll get better results with the pens if you train yourself to hold them perpendicular to the surface, it took me ages, but it was worth it. Seeing you shaking them made me want to dig out all my old drafting stuff and draw something without a computer, thanks! :)
I flipping love a box build. More boxes for amazing stuff! It's a 2 in 1 gift seeing the amazing thing AND the custom box.
Adam talking about precision, the history of tools and reaching a higher peak of mastery of craft
Me watching him label 1 - 10: pfft I can count that high easy
I'm 70+ UK toolmaker the way you treated those mic’s, you do deserve them.
i would never in a million years think that watching someone do a boxer overhaul would be so relaxing but it is
Just love how happy Adam gets finishing a project and hitting milestones. It's satisfying.
I used a set just like this in the late 70's. There are marks in the lid where there used to be ribs covered in felt to hold the micrometers securely for transport.
So went the wrong route or just a different route
I simply love how excited Adam gets over building something nice for nice tools with nice tools. This is the same level of excitement I have when making things and Adam just animates and articulates the feelings so well. Love your work Adam.
Not to get too sappy but thank you for what you put out, Adam. My dad passed away recently and woodworking projects were something we used to bond over and watching this reminded me of him quite a lot, including your drumming quirks and excitement.
It's got me thinking I need a new project to work on to work through some of my grief. So thank you.
44:23 I literally went “oh thank god” when he said he was reusing the front of the box for the drawers.. that lettering is so cool!
A few people are mentioning the time, yet for me the sheer joy you got was so infectious the time flew by. Thank you for the video.
I love seeing Adam so excited about a project. Awesome maximization of space--the original creator of the set would be so proud to see the refurbishment and extension of the usefulness of the case, I'm sure.
I can absolutely relate to your excitement about this build. I have this passion about all my projects. I started machining when I was 19 and I took so much pride in my tools, what little I had at that age and just starting the trade. I built myself a tool box and put in there the tools I acquired over time. So so proud and it was obvious. Anyways.. one of the journeymen in the shop seen what I had done and literally smashed it with a hammer right in front of me. He was so pissed for some reason. I'll never forget it. Devastating to say the least.
That was 25 years ago. I can also relate to this video because the shop I worked in had the exact same set of mititoyo micrometers that I could only dream of owning. This video really hit home.
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can't measure something, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it. If you can't control it, you can't improve it.”
Great Video Adam!
Absolutely fabulous vintage precision tool, your passion for these is so contagious. The upgrades to the storage gives great honor to the original. Well done sir.
I take for granted some of the sophisticated measuring tools I use every day. Thanks for giving me a new appreciation for this facet of manufacturing
The TOT shout-out made me really happy.

I loved this chapter, for two things:
1.- I love making boxes, for all kinds of uses, and with compartments, of all kinds of materials and coatings, I love it
2.- and most importantly, when I was little my aunt gave me a set of Rotring rapidrograpg from 0.1 to 1.0... I drew my whole life, over time I had the new models and also many Steadlers. I loved drawing on polyester paper.
Thank you for such a nice program.

I love watching him work. I know exactly what’s going through his head as he looks at the problem and works out what needs to be done.
"It's a One Day build that's a two day build!" Ah yes, our favorite kind
Isn't this secretly every build for every craftsperson? haha
"It's just a five minute job."
Three days later.
Adam, I love the genuine excitement that you have for all your projects. I also really enjoy the fact that you show the problem solving/idea process thru the project, instead of a step by step after the fact. thanks for the entertainment and inspiration. keep it up!
When storing a micrometer, always leave a distance between the measuring surfaces, otherwise cold welding could occur. Love your work!
I thought that was a myth, everytime somebody tried cold welding it failed. Is this true?
If cold welding really happens, then what about ball milling aluminum powder? Wouldn't the fresh surface with no oxides make the powder clump?
Not the cold welding, but yes, you should always leave them a little bit open to alow for variations in the metall during store time.
@@shannondove9029 yes true. Gauge blocks do this. Look at YT, there are several videos.
Isn't cold welding similar to explosive welding? In explosive welding the peices are pushed together while they are cold and way below the melting point. In fact, it seems explosive welding is the exact same thing as cold welding
As a machinist of more than 20 years, this brings me both great pleasure and intense anxiety. Great love for the tools, wonderful mic stand, much needed improvements with the cradles, great restoration of the hardware, wonderful labels, all great things that bring me a great bit of joy...but A. drawers full of loose mics and B. a drawer that interferes with the latch, makes me itch but a wonder full job all the same, now I have a project this weekend
Great video. And very useful to me, since I also just bought a set of 12 Mitutoyo micrometers. Mine came in two wooden boxes, and the box for the six larger micrometers got smashed up even worse than yours did. This video gave me some good ideas for fixing it.
Adam after using the rust remover on the hardware “it looks brand new!”
Also Adam “our next build is weathering the hardware so it doesn’t look so new!”
Yeah, I was half expecting that. For that box, the hardware just can't look too nice, it needs some grit to it. Although, give it a bit of time and that should sort itself out I guess. ;)
Admittedly painted on weathering is better than actual rust.
@@ArloMathis Adam's airbrushed on patina for one is much more convincing than the actual patina he took the time to clean off...
@@briggsbughouses6291 and less destructive
I just love to watch Adam build boxes. I’m working on a design for a new rolling work station and his box videos provide so much incite into great workflow and utility
There is a FOURTH use for dial/digital caliper, you can measure shoulders from the top head and bottom head, very useful with a shoulder because the depth gauge is difficult to keep square. Hope that's a useful tip for some and makes sense. :) (for example - Adam could have used it from the top at 23:00 to measure the location of his cradles)
I know this won't be seen but I don't know the first thing about making, building, tools, gauges etc.
But I am addicted to these videos. Adam's enthusiasm BLEEDS through the camera and makes the viewer excited for something most would probably consider quite dry content.
I love this channel.
Love your discovery of the sanding disc mitre slot being off. I had a set square for 8 years and wondered why my woodworking was bad until i found the set square was not square!
53:44 Just a small hint: prevent touching the standards at their metal ends (especially the flat) to avoid corrosion due your hand's sweat. That why they have a non-metal handle in the middle.
The plastic is also to minimize heat from your hands affecting the length of the standard (and the geometry of the micrometer)
@@dsier Seems that Adam did not have a metal workshop teacher as you (and I) had :-)
I have a friend at a museum that is pretty mad at visitors "looking with their fingers". He says their exhibits partly have (well, had) the original paint job, and the fat from your fingers you invariably leave behind is acidic and, added up, eats away the paint, esp. of the late german WW II planes where the paint was abysmally bad.
The ends of standards as well as the mics have carbide inserts so the don't wear down with use. Carbide does not corrode.
Light machine oil, leave them unloaded, silicone packets in the case. temperature affects when going ten thousands.never engrave them. Keep standards in silicone packets ziplock is perfect. You will go nuts measuring everything common to you, like the clear wrapper of a pack of cigarettes is two thousands gap on a magneto for a Harley. Book of matches 15 thousands, points. So on
I want a t-shirt that reads "*EVEN MORE TABLE SAW NOISES" 😂
I want the back of my underwear to say the same!
yes i want a t-shirt saying that lmao
This was one of my favorite builds! Part of it is your immense love for the project, the other part is such an awesome subject to enhance and make your own.
I thankfully had some great teachers during my 19 years of life and just listening to you I could tell you would be one of those, you guys tend to explain alot of non written stuff that I truly appreciate, that's what sharpens a maker, experience and you are the kind of person that takes peoples minds to that place and that moment to learn from it, love your channel man, it's clear you enjoy what you do more than anything and so do I seeing it.
Some people are real special. It's hard to put into words, and Adam is one of those people. Best way I could word it is someone who can make something you would never care about very interesting.
Like I could careless about space, the stars, astrophysics. But Neil deGrasse Tyson, his passion makes me pay attention, and the facts he shares and the way he explains it make me wanna get into it more and more. He can explain things on every level and trap almost anyone into wanting to learn and then share his information. Then you listen to another astrophysicist, and it sux.
Well, Adam has that type of power. He's so enthusiastic and genuinely enjoys what he's doing. Explains everything to keep everyone included, in a way that everyone can understand. And he's cool and welcoming. So much so you wanna be in the shop with him helping out! Love the channel! I'll definitely be supporting!
Calipers measure in four ways, the three mentioned and then it can be use to measure a step. The moving jaw has a step theorized jaw has a flat spot.
Came here to say that..
@@hoppend me too!
Have been wanting to say this for so long.
Some measure in five ways. Mine has a set of recess points on the back that allow you to transfer a measurement form a compass or set of trammel points. Also some have a thumb wheel that works somewhat similar to the way the ratchet on a micrometer does.
ahh I saw your comment after commenting the same thing.
I usually use the “eh good enough” method it’s accurate to a half an inch usually.
I use the hmmmm, looks ahright method, usually accurate to half a foot.
I use the "ITS GOTTA BE PERFECT" strategy for furniture and it's always off by at least .25"
I use the “close enough” method, accurate to +/- a meter or so
Hahaha
I use the "it'll do " method ...accurate to within 1mil AU
I love the sculptural quality of the micrometer set in the box. It’s like a Fabergé box.
Joyous one day build. I was dubious about adding the “Mike stand” to the box but it makes it all the more beautiful. And keeping the previous marks/ notes on the outside of the box. Just adds to the story of this. Love it!
Rewatching this as I often do your One Day Builds; I wonder if you've thought of a way to secure the drawers in. I couldn't help but think a couple of well-placed magnets would give a decent, and non-permanent, method of keeping the draws from accidentally popping out during transit.
Time to continue my journey to another One Day Build.
One way I can think of doing is put a latch on the inside just like one of those hook and latches with the little guard on it to keep it from popping off. That way you could have a main lock on the on the top without worrying about the drawers coming out. The other thing I thought about was a cover for the boxes that'll go in there so stuff that's in them don't go flying around either
Imagine being the guy that sold this on eBay and then watching this and realizing you shipped these poorly to Adam!
My thoughts exactly. I would change the way I did things immediately. 😬
Just Seppuku😂
It sounded like they also arrived in a state of griminess and disrepair, so I'm getting more of a "we found these in dad's garage after he passed" vibe there, rather than someone who knows how to ship and handle antiquated but still useful tools.
Well, Adam then ruined it by using brass handles on the drawers while all the other hardware is steel, so nobody needs to feel bad about the whole thing.
@@mm9773 How is that ruining anything. If you notice, he also used brass screws for some of the parts, namely because brass and wood are far greater friends than steel and wood. It would probably take too much time remaking everything in brass, as well as requiring some machining skills that Adam does not yet have, but besides it's only looks and have nothing to do with the micrometers themselves
My dad was a machinist for Texas Instruments, and did the prototype work for engineering the last half of his career.
For a person who had no actual formal education, and dropped out to help support the family at a rather young age.
He was apparently one heck of a natural machinist, and had drawers full of high end by Starrett, and a couple other manufacturers, B&S, and Mitutoyo is what filled all his Kennedy boxes.
He apparently spent a great deal of money for his tools, and back in his day, I know they didn't make a lot of money compared to today's wages.
Yet he believed in having the best to do his job, and unfortunately they ended up in the wrong hands, and there was nothing my mom are any of us could do about it.
Sadly they all probably were given away for next to nothing at garage sales we had no way of knowing about.
He left them to his younger brother, and when he passed his daughter got them, and that's another story altogether, but they're gone hard fact of life.
Sorry for rattling on about nothing, but just kinda hit a nerve is all.
Specialty items like precision tools will always find their way back into the hands of a person who appreciates them. When you see them in yard sales or at the Goodwill they are just on their way back to a new owner who will appreciate them for what they are.
It works like this because the people who know what these things are, are always on the look out for them.
My adhd brain aligns with your chaotic explanation of today's one day build. I love the deep spiral of 'let's measure everything in the workshop while we're at it!'
😂 I would spend hours being side tracked, measuring everything in sight
My grandfather was a master machinist for Lynch Machinery after he returned from WWII until he retired in the early 90's. After he passed away suddenly in 1998, my father's brother in law convinced my grandmother that his tools were worthless and basically sold them for penny's... without consulting my father. They were supposed to be handed down to my Dad and eventually me. When dad went to check on them, everything was gone. My brother in law was proud of the 20 or so bucks my grandmother made from his literally 45 year career and all of the tools that go with it. Likely many many thousands of dollars worth of irreplaceable tools and priceless notes. Gone forever. I thought my Dad was going to go to prison that day.
At the very end when Adam spoke of & showed his Demerit badges I became very happy. As someone that was in the advanced electronics field in the US Navy aboard nuclear ballistic missile submarines I often responded to peoples’ questions about how things worked. I would respond with magic smoke. As long as you contained the magic smoke things would work. If you let the magic smoke escape, it would no longer work! And the former badge is the opposite of what Norm Abrams would espouse, “Measure twice, cut once”. Awesome. This was such a soothing and delightfully entertaining episode.
I'm so pleased I did my engineering classes in metric, imperial measurements sound like an absolute nightmare
it is acualy less acurate in some ways as well
Some of us have to do both because the US did not convert to metric but many imported products are metric. Some from China are in both. Its really not an issue as long as one has the corresponding tools and instruments.
Yep we just have 2x the tools. It's great.
Hey editors ! I just wanted to point out theres quite a few audio editing mistakes sometimes when it changes camera shot , its not a big deal but I figure it might be helpful to know in case it slipped through and wasnt noticed ! I've been noticing a couple of these audio errors lately ;)
Could be A to B and B to A shot changes? Maybe not what you're referring to, but once you start looking and listening for them in video media you'll notice that they're EVERYWHERE. Not necessarily bad, but interesting to catch.
A few jump cuts too.
The editing was really bad and distracting.
I believe it's a UA-cam problem. It showed up in the last video and he apologized for it.

A little tip for those cans of wood stain anyone has laying around: throw a little nut or screw in the can before you put the lid back on. Next time you can shake it like a spray can to get it mixed up easier.

Ive watched Adam from a Kid on Mythbusters, and I still absolutely love the passion he has for his interests! Absolute legend!
To be honest, this is truly what i love, someone who appreciates their tools, and especially how important it is to store them properly instead of laying around or having room to spare... Precision, for precision tooling is as perfectly adequate as a micrometer measuring a micrometer... And with the precision youre putting in, those micrometers will be sure of measuring micrometers! Love it Adam, keep it up

Hey Adam, great content. There’s a fourth way to measure with your calipers. On the opposite side from the tail you’ll notice when you close the calipers the outside edges become flush. Those two faces are used for situations similar to the tail (depth measurements), but because they are so wide it’s particularly suited for measuring step like features. The wide base helps ensure the measurement is perpendicular to the surface. Cheers
@tested loved this video, one suggestion to take it to the next level: Drill a vertical hole on the top edge of the lower cabinet centered above each drawer all the way through into the drawer face. Drill a shallower but slightly larger diameter concentric hole in which you can drop a spring, and then turn a rod with a step so that it rests on the spring and is just proud of the top lip by 1/4" while open, and cut the rod so it's even with the top edge of the drawer opening when the lid is open. In this way, you can ensure the drawers stay closed when the lid is closed and latched. You could also machine a small externally threaded ferrule that could be inserted into the top of the lower cabinet after the rod and spring are inserted to capture the rod mechanism so it wouldn't be loose. I've seen some old machinist chests with a similar setup to hold a panel on the front.
This was probably my favorite box build, because he had to work around the limitations of the box he had and it was fun to watch
I think anyone interested in this video would enjoy Simon Winchester's book, "The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World".

My great grandfather was a builder, and I inherited two of his toolboxes, with drills and with files. One box is broken, but the other has sliding trays and a secret compartment in the cover (holds a 'girlie picture'!). You've inspired me to see how I might restore that second toolbox. And the rapidograph pen takes me back to my college years, when we used rapidograph pens for drawing and labeling our geologic maps. Thank you for another inspiring video.
Hi Adam big fan spent my younger years working with wood doing carpentry and upholstery. I'm now 36 have restarted my life and am getting into tool making. Feel you 100 % when you talk about 1 10th of 1 thousandths of an inch wow. Love the show keep having the best job ever!

Seeing this 12/9/21. Completely understand how you feel. About 6 years ago I found a set of Mitutoyo micrometers that had barely even been breathed on at an estate sale. I asked how they were going to ship them & they were just going to put them inside a standard size box with a bit of bubble wrap but nothing else. After realizing they were going to be bounced around be a USPS guy that was having a really bad day & was off his medication, I quickly told them to hold off on the shipping until I sent a boatload of foam padding to use inside & out. Fortunately, to the great relief of my blood pressure, they packed it properly & shipped it UPS. Got it for about 75% off so it was completely worth the cost of sending the packing materials & shipping UPS. I very much understand how you feel when opening the box. You just can’t help staring, & drooling, at them in all there precision glory. Thanks for the video. I’m following it to the letter on my box. I was originally trained as a machinist but I’m now disabled & appreciate having one less thing to worry about. Keep on making great videos! It’s greatly appreciated!
Ed
This video makes me so happy I went to a Vocational School and we had this exact box of 1-12" micrometers pretty much even down to the green so the fact that he appreciates these so much makes me smile
FYI, calibration of micrometers (and calipers) does not only consist of adjusting "zeros" but also of checking linearity using a set of gauge blocks over the span of each micrometer.
Cool vid -- informative, enjoyable, & inspiring -- tnx 4 sharing.
Two suggestions ... I saw that the top of the lid splintered out when the holes for the "mic stand" were drilled through. Starting with small pilot holes from the placement marks on the inside to the outside followed by coming from the outer face in with the full diameter bit could have helped avoid that. Then any roughness from coming through on the inside would have been hidden by the felt. I suspect Adam already knows this and just got over excited and rushed it (kinda' ironic having thought to put some little slices in the felt before drilling to protect it, but then forgetting to use similar caution for the finish of the outside surface). I noticed that no mention of the tearout was made and it seemed like direct views afterward were avoided, this may have involved one of those peeved self critical frustration situations Adam has, elsewhere, alluded to skipping over at times in final edits.
Also, I think the front drawers might benefit from having some sort of way to brace them in place, hold them closed, so they don't accidently slide out when moving the box around or transporting it. Some sort of clip or pin either inside or outside and/or some magnet, friction, or spring mechanism providing initial resistance to opening when fully closed.
something similar happened with the right drawer, when he showed the cut front for the first time I thought: oh, I wonder what he'll do now that he cut the drawer so high that it went under the lock. couldn't see it while the masking tape was on to keep the front of the wood safe during the sawing.
his solution was sweet, though I imagine he was really bummed when he first noticed it.
in the end these really are the beautiful little imprecisions that make life fulfilling. and the part with drilling the holes through the top was a good example for that notion of Laotzu I often am reminded of by my own doings: mind the end like the beginning... such are the little eccentricities that we all embody...
I see you sneakily trimmed that clasp in the way of the drawer!
What a wonderful project for a weekend. It encompasses everything. Machining, carpentry, weathering, it is a container construction and it is for precision tools. I would love to have to do this over a couple of days. Once again, sir i find myself envious of your position. Have fun!
You just have to love a guy that gets excellent used tools and then proceeds to clean them up like new again. I do the same soon as it arrives or get it home.

“I like how he’s not afraid to improve upon a design even if it’s old” my brother
"How to cut out the drawers"... have you considered an "oscillating multitool" (I think that's the English term) - it has seved me a ton of work in such cases already.
I had in mind to drill out a hole (or 4 for all 4 corners) and use the saw like a normal person doing woodwork, but he wanted to do it that way, so....
Though, after the hardware was put in, I noticed one of the drawers was too tall since it interfered with opening, so he had to sacrifice a bit of it to make it work. Evidently, the locking loop was also in the way, so he had to flip it up just to close the drawer as well. Foresight would have prevented that design flaw, but at least he made it work to make as much space as he could put all his other mics in, as well as the mic stand. Repurposing got done and that's what he wanted. Machining is a bit that way too. More than one way to skin a cat, so you just send it.
@@AAFREAK Drilling corners wont work all that well if you want to keep the piece you're cutting out?
@@drsquirrel00 he said he was gonna keep them, and I believe him. But from a design standpoint: finger holes.
The weighted wire is actually a valve, and nothing more. When the rapidograph pen is placed on the surface, it is pushed back and it allows ink to fall out of the reserve, which is replaced by air that goes through the metered air maze on the side of the valve body. A rapidograph should never be held at any position on the paper other than perpendicular to it, as the nib will eventually wear out unevenly and ink will overcome the metered air maze, which results in blobs of ink.
edit: rather than shaking the rapidograph, which can damage the wire in finer tipped pens (where the wire is basically as thin as a human hair), you're supposed to squeeze the body of the ink reserve whilst pressing the tip unto a paper and slowly dragging it down. Five 4 cm long lines are almost always enough to prime the system.
