      Well, as Adam mentioned in his video, the galvanic reaction between the steel screws and the aluminium plates will eventually cold-weld them together, so after a while the only way to take the box apart will be destructively.

Not many people living today, outside of the librarians and archivists at the Royal Society, can say they did something to serve Isaac Newton himself.

    Before Brady pointed it out, I was thinking that now Adam Savage has become part of the history of Isaac Newton's death mask. I mean, I hope that Adam's other work also passes the test of time, but I'm pretty sure there will be annotations and records stating that "Between 2023 and 2XXX the death mask of Isacc Newton was kept in a box constructed by Adam Savage, using inert materials to better preserve the mask". Everyone's actions will echo through time of course, no matter how mundane, but it's truly special when you become involved in something as unique and historically relevant as this.
