Hey adam, could you someday design a simple DIY spacesuit and actually test it in a vaccum chamber? It would be so nice to see what you came up with given your experiences with spacesuits.
Adam Savage’s Tested Not sure if Adam knows about it. But Tamiya has a new line of masking tape that is very much like the pin striping tape. It is very thin. Comes in multiple widths. And is extremely flexible! Great for markings curves! I’ve used it and it’s great stuff!
Awesome! How about this idea: a working replica of the machine that was used in Blade Runner to test the replicants, with the little automatic arm and camera that zooms into the iris and displays it?
It's fascinating how most hour long videos on UA-cam I'm like, "I don't want to waste time on that", but with a One Day Build I just want it to go on for 5 hours. Loving everything you guys do!
One Day Builds with Adam are like Bob Ross' programs. But with a little more excitement and less whispering hahahaha. Thank you, Adam. I really enjoy watching you build stuff and teach me things.
Thanks for the shout outs Adam! It was a pleasure working with you and the crew on this amazing project. I really dig you showcasing all of your paint tests. So vital! =D
Looks like my hands after anything I do in the shop. Every time my wife asks me where a cut/scrape/blood blister came from, I honestly can't answer her. It's all a blur in there lol
@@ReiniGrauer Just rub some sawdust into it, it'll stop bleeding lol. The worst part about injuries is bleeding all over your project, i don't care about the pain, i just don't want to bleed all over my project hah.
He has many...many great quotes. From philosophical and hauntingly beautiful, to childlike wonder and objective truths hidden in enigma. Pepperd from Mythbusters and Tested.
I can't be the only one that finds it oddly reassuring that even Adam, with all his years of experience, still has those moments of nervousness when making something, a 'I could screw this up' moment.
Hi Adam, A tip for everyone when mixing paints - Get a good supply of syringes from the drug store. Then you can mix exacting amounts of your colors. This is also a lot cleaner & does not leave paints dribbling down the outside of containers. If you make records of the quantities as you go it will be a lot easier to re-make that particular color again in the future. Otherwise it is a bugger to try and match them again. Make more than you need and keep the leftovers in another container. This will help for touch-ups later on or to help color match a new batch of paint / lacquer. When spraying, get a card or scrap sheet to fire a test on first. This will help to get your "Spray Fan" and "Flow Volume" correct before attacking your new-to-be loved project.
this is great technique. my partner is a classic car restorer, so has to often custom mix paints, as the original paint code doesn't take into consideration the different formulas of modern colour tints, and also the way that paint ages. Unless you are doing a full respray, there is always a tweak to get the right colour match. you can log it in a book, with the customers name, so if they need something else doing later, you have done the brain work already.
I love how you guys are making this "one day builds" longer, I really do appreciate all the effort that Adam is putting in, and you guys dont skip a bit of the action. Thanks!!
I appreciate the one-hour episodes because Adam is able to allow is deeper inside the mind of an engineer. The fact that the reflective tape was not perfectly center after meticulously cutting templates on purpose was mind-blowing to me. I love to hear all of these small tips and tricks he has learned throughout his career is why I watch these builds.
4:18 “You might be wondering why I’m taping up the whole helmet if I’m painting only this part? That’s because no matter how carefully you paint - you will have overspray...” 48:27 “that’s awesome, gonna hit this little bit”
Can you do a video explaining how the real helmet would seal? You've spoken about how complicated the locking systems on the real articles are in a couple other videos, and even if it's not possible to recreate the tolerances without significantly more intensive equipment, it would be really cool to understand the concept that allows, for example, the edge of the clear face shield to seal and maybe how the bar helps that happen? These are all awesome builds man, thanks for doing them!
I'm not three minutes into the video and I have to pause to make a comment. "Do the hardest part first." Yes! This! It forces you to focus and get it exactly right. When you're done, you have a terrific confidence boost and you've likely practiced every skill you have to your utmost. And yeah, it lets you practically sail through the rest effortlessly. I really hope that point gets through to everyone who's thinking about tackling a difficult project. Face your uncertainty squarely and push right through it. It's so worth it.
The ACES is my favorite suit of American space flight, it has a unique look to it, it’s industrial it’s designed for a specific job, it’s not meant to be glamorous or the star of attention but that’s what I love about it, it’s the suit you’d imagine a space shuttle crew would wear, shuttling cargo to orbit in a sci-fi movie in a weathered worn shuttle craft wearing their pumpkin suits, I can imagine them in a space port standing out in a crowd or in a seedy space port bar wearing them having drinks and awaiting for a cargo load.
I just want to thank you guys and Adam for these awesome videos! I grew up watching him and it’s so good to be able to see him and be able to see him in a natural setting doing things his creative way. So your efforts are truly appreciated. Sending love from Australia
Adam standing in the middle of his shop, in jeans and the Savage/NASA shirt, wearing that helmet, would make an excellent magazine cover shot. 😂 (Or the cover of a book about making replica spacesuits?! HINT HINT.)
I love how much useful stuff he has! The paints the brushes the tools the shelving the machines the string the everything!! It’s so soothing and amazing.
@@triickzxfury4166 One of my customers called me recently and was like "hey, I hurt the motor, we've got a no prep this weekend. Can you have it ready?" Asked him how bad it was hurt, said he didn't know, had sparks out the header and a bad noise and he shut it off mid pass. Melted a hole the size of a silver dollar through a piston 🤦♂️ had an injector failure and that piston went dead lean while the motor was on a large shot of Nitrous. Bad day lol
@Shaun Gardner - Pretty typical unfortunately. Somehow, the people calling the shots and doing the camera work must not think it would be interesting enough. Go figure.
Next build idea a vibrating paint shaker for the airbrush station. I found out the hard way with those tamiya paints after proceeding to bang the pot on my bench (unknowingly cracking the glass pot) a couple of times (exactly how Adam did) then a few whacks on the palm on the 3rd whack the pot fully broke and cut a lump out of my hand like butter not a good day in the shed that lol
@SciFi Custom Collectables oh this must be going on nearly 28 years ago when I was still a young pup and on a very tight budget my one was a mix of salvaged motors from old remote control cars and a stripped down electric sander it wasnt the prettiest of contraptions but it worked well considering I was probably only 11 at the time
@SciFi Custom Collectables I wish I was that ingenious now and put functionality over form completing something in a weekend unlike now and always over complicating everything and it then dragging on for 6 months and having multiple(to many) projects going
I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved watching this. 1 am and I should be asleep, but I cannot stop watching. This build video is both intriguing and relaxing at the same time. Thank you

Adam there is something that is good to watch you do your craft and go through the pains and anguish of failures . I enjoy watching the intensity that you go through in perseverance to get something just right. It's cool to see you watch the reference Mark's to set your bar just so. Thanks again
if you do get overspray, we use shark paper in high end finishing. also use cling wrap to cover large rounded or odd shaped portions and tape it to the tape. also the more red you have the brighter it will dry, the more black the darker it will dry. I am surprised you do not mix your own paints by now, its fairly simple use a good quality scale to weight out your pigments. then you can tailor it to what ever application works best(IE stain, or solid, oil, lacquer, or water based.....never use water based on wood, stick to laquer) always always always remove your tape right after the paint flashes.
@Adam I came here from the visor video, and I'm in love with the channel! Sad that MB ended but I love seeing you work and hearing your process, it's like a cool older neighbor with a garage full of tools teaching you the little tricks of project builds.
As other comments have said, proably the only 20mins+ youtube series I enjoy watching the whole way through. Also really appreciate your honesty and positive attiude following mistakes. Great work.
I love his brain and excitement! I can't help but smile non-stop when watching him build. I'd love to have a full days tour of his shop! The helmet turned out amazing; as we all knew it would. Hope your arm and finger feel better! [I know it does, it's been 2 weeks.]
To be honest I like the instructions. I bet ya there's people googling how to wash their hair. It would also save a lot of lives if drugs came with instructions in them, instead of telling to go see a doctor to get the right dose.
believe it or not i watch your builds for all the experience gems you drop as you go along. you really need to make a book with all of these building and painting nuggets for all of us prop builders and modelers. pretty pleeeeease!
Do you know children between the ages of 7 and 10 are most receptive to that kind of humour and social cues? Dads commonly get used to the audience and stick with what worked.
I love that reflective tape! Navy pilots used to make intricate designs for their squadrons with it and it made for some very beautiful helmets. I put hat stuff on all my headsets, helmets, and emergency management/response items. Nice work, Adam.

i feel this gets a little overlooked, but mad props to the sound people. like adam is obviously amazing, but hes a loud boy and they do magic at not making it hurt, so great job
I don’t think they have a sound mixer on the crew. I think it’s just one videographer named Joey doing all this work. Maybe they’ve got another camera op at times but I think that’s about it
I can see it now - Adam, we need you to go to the space station and solve a tricky problem we're having with the confabulator. Your unique skills and abilities are what is needed. And while we're at it, it will be filmed and the youtube video will go viral and pay for your trip....
Thank you Adam and team. I cheered when spotted you in "The Expanse". In your death scene, when your lifeless body sailed on by, you had the most amusing and priceless look on your face ever. For me, this has been one you most interesting builds. Thank you for entertaining and sharing.
I absolutely LOVE this kind of tinkering/building&experimenting. Its been my dream since a little guy to meet&build something with Adam, my inspiration for many if not ALL of my projects! I hope you keep it up!💯
honestly i was really happy you had a hangup. your so smart and inspiring, and to see you make a human mistake, is confidence inspiring honestly. As weird as that sounds, because your just a human as well, it still holds true.
It enables the astronaut to easily close the visor and open it with the thick gloves they wear. They can't easily open and close the visor with them on, so the bailer bar gives them a boost up in dexterity.
Hi Adam, just wanted to say how much I really enjoy this video! Not because of the project but instead cause of the failure you show on camera. Really like to see that part when you’re frustrated or when you mess something up. It just reassures me that we’re all human and shit happens. About halfway though I stared to think “I wonder if Adam ever really messes anything up and how often” then next thing I know, you’re throwing pieces away that we’re messed up😂 so thank you for being human and showing the flaws in things!
I gotta say this is one of the most impressive 'one day builds' you have done in quite some time, and the associated videos and work has been a pleasure to watch, especially the helmet AND the visor work Awesome work and fun quotes galore Cheers
Cat oh man that’s so easy. Duct tape it to an oscillating saw blade. I do that wth my spray cans since I fatigue rreeeaaallly fast. And I just want to die by the time I’m through shaking it for “1 to 2 minutes “.
@@colinantink9094 the mechanics of making it is relatively simple, but I feel like Adam would make something elaborate and over the top, which would be cool to watch.
Oh man! Lemme share the mental image this comment made me conjure up. I’m dead. In a white robe. Walking up to golden gates. Gates swing open on squeaky hinges. A man in white robes approaches me. As he gets close he utters these most holy words. “Gdday mate” and hands me a box of needle files and a brass blank.
Super interesting video! I love these videos, so relaxing to watch and listen to. I kinda like the choice of having hardly any music as it means I can put my own on. It's a very fun experience watching Adam with early Green Day in the background xD
I appreciate you keeping in the screwups. Makes me feel more confident about my own work when I know that even super-experienced people can mess up and that's ok!
I don’t get why people get so riled up over the word sewist. Language is an evolving thing and as the sewing makers find the english vocabulary lacking of an appropriate word for a person who sews they make one up. There are several reasons why one would avoid the word seamstress: It’s gender specific. It doesn’t traditionally include the creative process but rather only the manufacturing. I.e. one who operates the sewing machine, not the one who creates the garment. The machine operator at a car factory isn’t a car maker. Seamstress also generally means sewing as a profession, excluding the hobbyist. Dressmaker doesn’t cut it because that’s limited to women’s clothing or at best general clothing. What you should be advocating if sewist gets under your skin is the word SEWER which is a word, is in the dictionary and all that jazz. Plus it has the added bonus of being a heteronym with the poop and pee kind of sewer. Me, I kinda like sewist. There is certainly a need for it.
I've been building a lot of models lately. Those Tamiya paints are awesome, the only ones I'll use anymore, especially the spray cans. I don't have my airbrush stuff any longer and the Tamiya just sprays so smooth and evenly. One trick about using tape, you will get a lot crisper line and less bleed if you first paint the base color after taping, then shoot the color you want. Base color, white in this case fills up the tape edges where it may have lifted etc.
Epic NASA ACES space helmet Adam. Also Darrell did an awesome job on 3D making that helmet too. Finally Adam an everybody at TESTED have a Merry Christmas Sir.

Thank you and Jamie so much. After seeing the episode of the home made jet pack. I'm not afraid of trying things out. Hay sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. But what you guys have taught me is you have to try. If you don't then we all become a world of... Someone else will do it.
Ah, you haven't heard/seen the 3d-print news! OK, not all that new of news. A fellah has come up with a Cura profile that prints clear solid parts! Lenses, prisms, clear windows. Done it myself with clear PLA. 50 micron layer height, 110% material flow rate, 15-20 mm/sec print speed, somewhat elevated nozzle temps, LOTS of cooling. The idea is that when layer #419 is being printed, it is also re-melting layer #418 and melting partly into layer #417. All this overlapping fusion makes for a truly solid part. The over-extrusion eliminates bubbles and voids, but the surface quality of the parts suffers. Lots of excess material ends up on the surface of the part. The surface looks scabby after printing, but remove the 'rind' and the interior looks like glass! I haven't gotten any of my attempts to be 'lens clear' yet, more tweaking to come, but I can clearly read text through 7mm of printed PLA! The downside is ridiculously long print times!
Awesome build Adam and all those that helped. With your skills at aging and attention to detail I think there wouldn’t a better person in the world to make a suit from the movie Blame! I would love to see this build.

kemsmith you really gone off on a tangent guy, let him work! 😜
believe it or not i watch your builds for all the experience gems you drop as you go along. you really need to make a book with all of these building and painting nuggets for all of us prop builders and modelers. pretty pleeeeease!
*looks up how to make a helmet for a cosplay*
*watches this video*
“Well this didn’t help my broke ass at all.”
38:00 Congratulations Adam, you've had your Bob Ross moment. So smooth and soothing I nearly napped.
'I didn't choose the dad-jokes; The dad-jokes chose me...'
I'm one of those people who were selected at a young age by dad jokes, I've had that sense of humor since childhood...
Do you know children between the ages of 7 and 10 are most receptive to that kind of humour and social cues? Dads commonly get used to the audience and stick with what worked.
we need more of these space suit builds in 2023
6:06 when there's a new one day build video uploaded
glad i clicked.
LOL
I love that reflective tape! Navy pilots used to make intricate designs for their squadrons with it and it made for some very beautiful helmets. I put hat stuff on all my headsets, helmets, and emergency management/response items. Nice work, Adam.
Why are large bottles of lacquer prohibited from being sold??
Jonathan Andrews volatile product. Kids huff it too. And shipping transport over the interstate into California is extremely scrutinized and controlled.
"(a) Definition. This section covers locations where paints, lacquers, or other flammable finishes are regularly or frequently applied by spraying, dipping, brushing, or by other means; where volatile flammable solvents or thinners are used; and where readily ignitable deposits or residues from such paints, lacquers, or finishes may occur....."
They're too flammable, says this document.

Short answer: California is a nanny state.
@@Cronama Yes, California doesn't have enough fire problems.
Californians can’t control themselves, so the state does it for them.
i feel this gets a little overlooked, but mad props to the sound people. like adam is obviously amazing, but hes a loud boy and they do magic at not making it hurt, so great job
6:12 there's no way the sound guy didn't see red
I don’t think they have a sound mixer on the crew. I think it’s just one videographer named Joey doing all this work. Maybe they’ve got another camera op at times but I think that’s about it
Bill did an amazing job on those visors, and the helmet is gorgeous! Thanks for taking us to another amazing one day build ride.
someone please send this guy to space
I can see it now - Adam, we need you to go to the space station and solve a tricky problem we're having with the confabulator. Your unique skills and abilities are what is needed. And while we're at it, it will be filmed and the youtube video will go viral and pay for your trip....
He has already, kind of, been there.
@@runawayuniverse in the myth busters episode, right? With the U2 aircraft.
Given his tendency to motion sickness, probably not happening.
A guess not everyone likes him huh.
Thank you Adam and team. I cheered when spotted you in "The Expanse". In your death scene, when your lifeless body sailed on by, you had the most amusing and priceless look on your face ever. For me, this has been one you most interesting builds. Thank you for entertaining and sharing.
41:20 😂 out of context that’s awesome
haha i clicked it, youtube glitched a little bit and gave me a black screen. Perfect.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing. That's a lot of patience Adam. Right on!
I need Adam's t-shirt right meow
I miss you on MythBusters
@Jon Kentucky First and foremost, it's his last name, which is far more relevant to this video than your comment
I absolutely LOVE this kind of tinkering/building&experimenting. Its been my dream since a little guy to meet&build something with Adam, my inspiration for many if not ALL of my projects! I hope you keep it up!💯
You should build the Daft Punk helmets!
honestly i was really happy you had a hangup. your so smart and inspiring, and to see you make a human mistake, is confidence inspiring honestly. As weird as that sounds, because your just a human as well, it still holds true.
Still don't get what the bailer bar actually does?
It enables the astronaut to easily close the visor and open it with the thick gloves they wear. They can't easily open and close the visor with them on, so the bailer bar gives them a boost up in dexterity.
Hi Adam, just wanted to say how much I really enjoy this video! Not because of the project but instead cause of the failure you show on camera. Really like to see that part when you’re frustrated or when you mess something up. It just reassures me that we’re all human and shit happens. About halfway though I stared to think “I wonder if Adam ever really messes anything up and how often” then next thing I know, you’re throwing pieces away that we’re messed up😂 so thank you for being human and showing the flaws in things!
Anti-suffocation valves... Just another thing you didn't know you needed until you found out it existed.😅
What part of the video was that?
@@zeikjt 51:04 😉
@@MichaelBerthelsen Thanks! I was really close to the end when I read this comment and thought I'd already missed it :D
I gotta say this is one of the most impressive 'one day builds' you have done in quite some time, and the associated videos and work has been a pleasure to watch, especially the helmet AND the visor work
Awesome work and fun quotes galore
Cheers
Next one day build idea: paint shaker
Cat oh man that’s so easy. Duct tape it to an oscillating saw blade. I do that wth my spray cans since I fatigue rreeeaaallly fast. And I just want to die by the time I’m through shaking it for “1 to 2 minutes “.
@@colinantink9094 the mechanics of making it is relatively simple, but I feel like Adam would make something elaborate and over the top, which would be cool to watch.
Cat Most likely with some unnecessary brass piece;)
It feels so nice seeing you with the same energy and charisma since the first episode of Mythbusters
ClickSpring is a God.
Oh man! Lemme share the mental image this comment made me conjure up. I’m dead. In a white robe. Walking up to golden gates. Gates swing open on squeaky hinges. A man in white robes approaches me. As he gets close he utters these most holy words. “Gdday mate” and hands me a box of needle files and a brass blank.
Most entertaining One Day Build in a long time! Awesome seeing that puppy come together!
26:42 ReHEEEL hardware.
Geez,I got sucked into this and just could not get away from it. Fascinating as hell!
I miss u in Mythbusters its just not the same.
No kidding.. both Adam and Jamie are gone... as well as the rest of the crew.. and somehow it is not the same anymore? ;)
Witherd B0nnie huh? Didn’t it get cancelled?
Wait really i thougt that there were two new mythbusters
Wait really i thougt that there were two new mythbusters
Yeah there is i watched mythbusters the search and the new mythbusters are Brian Louden and Jonathan lung
Love the show, got my One Day Build Shirt a few days ago. Love it - thanks Adam and team for working to hard and having so much fun at the same time!
Why use so much tape on the helmet when you could tape some paper over it instead?
Why do one thing that works when another thing that works also works?
@@ThisOlGiff Because more tape increases the chance (no matter how slight) that it could pull off some paint. Just minimizing risk.
Since tape was closer is my guess. or he prefer doing it that way. For him it's just tape.
The paper might have unnoticed holes,the tape is usually good.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Seattle Washington.
Because the solvent in the paint might soak through the paper. Tape is usually protecting from that.
Super interesting video! I love these videos, so relaxing to watch and listen to. I kinda like the choice of having hardly any music as it means I can put my own on. It's a very fun experience watching Adam with early Green Day in the background xD
33:43 anyone else's stomach drop?
I appreciate you keeping in the screwups. Makes me feel more confident about my own work when I know that even super-experienced people can mess up and that's ok!
Yo dude, it’s seamstress bro, she is a seamstress not a sew’ist ... that’s not a word. Thank you from the rest of the world.
I don’t get why people get so riled up over the word sewist. Language is an evolving thing and as the sewing makers find the english vocabulary lacking of an appropriate word for a person who sews they make one up. There are several reasons why one would avoid the word seamstress:
It’s gender specific.
It doesn’t traditionally include the creative process but rather only the manufacturing. I.e. one who operates the sewing machine, not the one who creates the garment. The machine operator at a car factory isn’t a car maker.
Seamstress also generally means sewing as a profession, excluding the hobbyist.
Dressmaker doesn’t cut it because that’s limited to women’s clothing or at best general clothing.
What you should be advocating if sewist gets under your skin is the word SEWER which is a word, is in the dictionary and all that jazz. Plus it has the added bonus of being a heteronym with the poop and pee kind of sewer.
Me, I kinda like sewist. There is certainly a need for it.
nah
he called her a seamster too lol. made me remember why I stopped watching these.
@@mrb2917 Yet here you are! Yeah, I know. Seamster was kinda weird to throw into the mix all of a sudden.
I spent the first bit of my 2019 finishing this video. Thanks for a good start to the year, Adam!
I've been building a lot of models lately. Those Tamiya paints are awesome, the only ones I'll use anymore, especially the spray cans. I don't have my airbrush stuff any longer and the Tamiya just sprays so smooth and evenly.
One trick about using tape, you will get a lot crisper line and less bleed if you first paint the base color after taping, then shoot the color you want. Base color, white in this case fills up the tape edges where it may have lifted etc.
Shawn does such, not only awesome, but FAST work.
This project came out so good, Adam!
Epic NASA ACES space helmet Adam. Also Darrell did an awesome job on 3D making that helmet too. Finally Adam an everybody at TESTED have a Merry Christmas Sir.
Adam, I really love your content. I especially like the screw ups and how you handle them. We all screw up but we can learn from your attitude. Well done Sir!
This really is when Adam is at his best. Not sure why something like this never gets picked up by a network.
I'm not interested in a lot of what Adam is, but there's something wonderful about seeing someone doing what they love and were meant to do.
Thank you and Jamie so much. After seeing the episode of the home made jet pack. I'm not afraid of trying things out. Hay sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. But what you guys have taught me is you have to try. If you don't then we all become a world of... Someone else will do it.
I do not have the space and the time to build the models and other projects I would like, so these videos are an excellent for catharsis. Thanks Adam!
Ah, you haven't heard/seen the 3d-print news! OK, not all that new of news.
A fellah has come up with a Cura profile that prints clear solid parts!
Lenses, prisms, clear windows.
Done it myself with clear PLA.
50 micron layer height, 110% material flow rate, 15-20 mm/sec print speed, somewhat elevated nozzle temps, LOTS of cooling.
The idea is that when layer #419 is being printed, it is also re-melting layer #418 and melting partly into layer #417. All this overlapping fusion makes for a truly solid part.
The over-extrusion eliminates bubbles and voids, but the surface quality of the parts suffers. Lots of excess material ends up on the surface of the part.
The surface looks scabby after printing, but remove the 'rind' and the interior looks like glass!
I haven't gotten any of my attempts to be 'lens clear' yet, more tweaking to come, but I can clearly read text through 7mm of printed PLA!
The downside is ridiculously long print times!
Hi, this build shows that any model of a suit, specifically a spacesuit is possible to construct and wear. Keep it up!!
Awesome build Adam and all those that helped. With your skills at aging and attention to detail I think there wouldn’t a better person in the world to make a suit from the movie Blame! I would love to see this build.
Thanks for showing the failures and issues along with the wins while building!
Watching you bend that aluminium to a 90 gave me anxiety! Awesome videos Adam ! Always loved watching you everyday after school as a kid on mythbusters and now I still can on you tube, keep up the hard work my friend! 👍🏻🙌🏻
15:10 what did he use in the fiberglass molds that they came out so clear? i always assumed they had to be glass or injection molded to be that good.
i would love to just watch this man work. Happy Xmas Adam, Family and Crew.
