- NOTE: ADAM DOES NOT HAVE A NEW TATTOO! What you see on his right arm is a temporary tattoo from the Silo activation at San Diego Comic Con.
Adam begins a new animatronic puppet build, the specific details of which will be revealed in due time! But to get started, Adam takes on the task of machining a set of eye mechanisms based on some specs designed by his collaborators. It's the kind of job that requires first making fixtures and jigs to achieve the precision needed for this delicate mechanism--a different approach than Adam's typical machining builds!

While I doubt you are going to be reading this, kydex also works great for creating “holsters” for other tools, such as pliers for linemen and other people who need odd shaped tools kept on their person. I bet Adam knows a tool or two he would love to keep on his belt around the shop, if so, he should make a kydex “holster” for it or them.
@@LTCDRRAZOR He did a sheet metal holster for a multi-tool several years ago, but it turned out too small!
I dream of when I have enough money to retire and spend the rest of my life sitting in my workshop building weird crap
@@tested Thanks for the answer. ))) In the next video I noticed that there was nothing on the right hand anymore)) I was very curious about what kind of drawing it was)
@@CandygramMongo if he is getting paid for it, is he really retired?
Adam, have you ever thought to make a clock that goes really slow? that way when you do the timelapse, the clock is going at normal speed. Like a little easter egg.
I love this idea! Very clever
I really hope Adam sees this one. lol
Could be done with a mechanical clock, with a programmable driver - set it to match whatever you think the time lapse rate will be.
Or make it go REALLY fast and sync up to multiple rates
but let it run backwards. so everytime he starts timelaps time goes back :D
I love how you can see Adam thinking with his entire body. : )
You mentioned the slate being 4 years old now. I watched you make that on here. I can not believe its been 4 years now lol.
Right?!
I love it, and it tells such a story on its own.. Like his "Keys to Hell" box. I bet Adam's work will outlive him by at least half a century.
I know right - 4. YEARS. !!!
@@spoon8682 he needs to continue at least until its depth surpasses its height and width
feel you there!
“I need two, I have five.” Definitely part of the maker experience. XD
Every time I order at pcbway 😅
And then he couldn't use any of the five 😭
Somewhere an eBay seller who specializes in odd wall-thickness pipes, is going thru his old invoices thinking "Savage Industries...I knew that sounded familiar!"
Wow, this brings back memories. As a kid in the 60's I had a vacuform "toy". Incredibly, children were allowed to soften plastic sheets over what was essentially a hotplate, then flip it over to vacuum it down over a form. Life was great before product liability became a thing!
@pollodiablo522 my brother had one.
Back then kids were actually capable of reading Instructions... Alas, those days seem over...
“Replicating a drawing” followed by 2 desk taps with combined head nods… such an Adamisim, that’s why we ❤him… oh and all the making stuff of course
“I just do eyes. I design *your* eyes.”
“If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes!”
this guy is still in his workshop doing crazy stuff :D awesome!
i'm rewatching mythbusters on youtube at the moment.
It's like looking back when Adam was younger, always an exciting person back then, especially when it comes to something that I knew Adam Savage would enjoy.
I get so used to watching the tool build/shop upgrade videos, that I forget what a capable machinist Adam is. The aluminum part fabrication was quite impressive.
I cannot help but think if Adam Savage ever got very, very deeply into theoretical physics, to the point where he's discovering theoretical stuff that he then applies in his engineering work, he'd the be the most joyful mad-scientist on the planet.
Fun!
UA-cam wasn't serving me these videos anymore, only those of Adam answering questions. So glad he mentioned it, and I found a treasure trove of making videos to watch!
When you said "CAD files", I at first heard that as "Cadfaels", and pictured some people cosplaying as 12th century monks showing up at the cave. 😄
The start of this video is giving me big happy flashbacks to the late 90s, sitting in the chillout tent at a rave somewhere in somerset, sun coming up, listening to ambient tunes and being entranced by the projections screen showing all these massive industrial machining processes on a time-lapse.
Not related except in the most superficial way to the content of this video but lovely stuff nonetheless.
Adams talents are limitless its such an honor to be apart of his journey in making
The Adam booty shake dance was worth the price of admission!
I have watched so many of these videos now, and nothing is more satisfying than watching Adam make things and watching his process throughout the project. I often times catch myself just absolutely lost watching him machine things.. it's fantastic!
Am I the only one who saw the thumbnail and thought he was gonna make "the corinthian" from sandman as a cosplay
Yes! Just made this comment and saw yours after :D
Did anyone else notice that the hole on that aluminum pipe wasn't properly centered when Adam was cutting it on the lathe? Not by a terrible amount, but watching the center hole bob up and down while the outside stayed stationary made me notice and upset my graphic designer heart.
Yeah I saw that too.
I also noticed it, it would have been a waste of time to use a boring bar to clean up the ID, but I still wanted it. I would never have made it working in a model shop that needs to get things done on time...
Yep. I noticed it too.
I assume he noticed it, weighed up the time spent in fixing or making from scratch against the acceptable tolerances of the ID not being perfect, and decided to go ahead
Yeah, I'm sure he noticed as well, but for the intended purpose of creating an eye lid where that would be on the inside and being that it would be a non issue, it's just wasting time for no reason to address it. Also life and organics are always asymmetric. So yeah, for the job it's needed for, its pointless to waste going through the extra effort in my opinion. :)
You need a camera jib that slides along your ceiling (or somewhere above your head) to position your camera anywhere in your shop so you can get those closeups anywhere.
Like the mirror tubes they have in supermarkets
He needs anything but that wobbly coolant hose garbage he uses today...
Would kill to watch him make that
@@jakobgood8831 Yeah, me too. I did one for myself and there are many others on the internet. I would love to see his design brain on that type of task.
@@PJ-ku5lpit's like a character on the show these days. It belongs here 😁
First. Thanks for answering the tattoo question! Second: I found the band saw operation enlightening. The close up shots of the drill was ironic. Look how big it is, oh wait! that bit and piece are tiny! Can't wait to see how the rest of the parts come together!
the dancing lined up very well with the groovy music, made me laugh so much. *high-fives*
Adam (Tested channel) got me through covid lockdown… I would look forward to the daily upload and that has continued, much ❤ to the whole tested crew
Thank you so much!
Ha, I'm loving that he's machining (and dancing) while wearing a Speedmaster
The eyes have it. I have been making Eye Mechs on my 3d printer and scaring the hell out of people for a while now. I'm working n a head in a pickle jar for Halloween!
The slate getting thicker and thicker just gets funnier and funnier.
i love that adam has to put his hands behind his back while waiting for a mill to be complete, like he has to actively prevent himself from messing with it during the process
While watching, I was fascinated by the armour above the machine. It looks a lot like K2S0 from the back, and now I can't not request a K2S0 build! :D
Gratuitous Savage dancing made me laugh in recognition of that moment when you know it’s going to work or it’s just great fun in the doing
"Relaxing machining" this should be the name of the channel 🤤
that dental vacuum forming machine is nifty as heck
when Adam starts singing the Vonage theme song you know it was a good vacuum form pull
Hello, Adam, I know you most likely will not see this comment, but still, I would like to send you greetings from Ukraine and thank you for a happy childhood, you are one of the people thanks to whom I began to develop diversified, I hope if I survive , then in my old age my “cave” will be similar to yours =) Long life and peace to you, Adam.
Hope you survive and get your workshop mate.
The lids cut into strips remind me a LOT of the robot eyeball that pops out of the gate into Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi!
It's just not a Tested build if you don't have a moment where you're sure that this'll be the last known footage of Adam with all 10 fingers
The joyful childlike "blink blink" at the end was perfect! 😂
Thank you very much, Mr. Savage. I have never thought about using my annular cutters in that way. Will now.
Might just be me, but the sound being made when the bit is lowering around the 9:33 mark, reminds me of the sound the power loaders make in the movie Aliens. My mind just immediately went there.
😂😂
My OCD is all over the place watching impatient Adam :)) But I love it!
Fixtures, or jigs, were my favorite part of being a cabinet maker 😁 so, so many operations in making customized furniture & stuff like that are so, so much easier to do well with a fixture, even if you don't have to repeat that operation tons of time - and yeah, that means spending a lot of time on something that isn't the end product but you spend WAY less time on that operation & the result is so much better!
Adam getting jiggy with it.
I wish you showed how you created the curves to the ends of the tendrils. Such a beautiful detail, visually and functionally.
I had to watch this video twice to see where that new (not new, not tattoo) was and I found it at 15:30 if anyone was curious. He either laid his arm down on a wet inked material, or he drew it on. The mystery continues!
Thought it was a vacuum tube circuit schematic at first glance
It is just a temporary tattoo from the Silo activation at San Diego Comic Con.
I wish I had 1% of your talent!
Love the technical terms like flippy floppy.
We need a compilation clip of every slate snap from all the videos! Watch it build up and up
Yes please!
Thanks man. I am on my way to rehab today. I was....so sad. Thank you for all your uploads.
Best of luck
Awesome how Adam could make all those cuts without measuring. He was eyeballing it all the way...
my first thought on some of these is "No cutting fluid?" but that's because I listened to the audiobook of 'Everything is a Hammer' again over the weekend...
Wow, your love-affair with precision continues. How does it feel to be growing in such leaps and bounds this far along in your career?
Adam is the physical embodiment of the song Mana Mana.
Greets from Germany mr Savage 🤘🙋♂️
@12:43 I concur! Sometimes you just need to dance it out!
Wonderful video. I can’t imagine any more satisfying mode of production/creation than high-precision turning/milling. Of course I can’t think of any more expensive mode to tool up for either. 😕
The coil at 4:07 woooo
12:43 It's called a dance break. Apparently this happens in musicals as well.
Oh, I've never noticed before! What's new Adam's tattoo mean? Is it from some franchise or game? It looks so interesting!
The tattoo on the inside of his left forearm? It's a ruler. He got it about 5 years ago.
@@slashingraven Other arm?
@@Havok448 I don't see a tattoo on his right arm. Where is it?
I'm so glad I'm no the only one, that's a groovy looking bit of ink and I'm hella curious about it.
@@slashingravenyou can see it around 20:00
A new tattoo? It looks like an extraterrestrial compliment to the ruler. I hope we get a show and tell of it at some point
± .0000 tolerance??? Damn that's tough.
So glad to see Adam has gotten over his prejudice against digital calipers. Maybe it was the numerous advantages they provide over purely manual ones? It's sometimes hard for older workers to accept change. Bravo Adam.
Well done!
Ok I’ve got to ask, is Matt Winchell related to Paul Winchell the puppeteer and inventor of the artificial heart?
A lifetime spent working to produce things to sometimes brutal and impossible deadlines has instilled a sometimes spastic sense of urgency to your movements and actions that you are obviously ruled by in the moment, even when time is not pressing. But the other side of that long coin of experience is that it all works. And works well. Endless kudos.
A quick tip about the vacuum former. The bottom tray / bed is removable. Pry it off the base like a coffee can lid to reveal a flat bed on the base underneath. You don't have to cut your forms from a deep dish.
This video made me realize I would like to see a collab between Adam and James Bruton
I find fixtures to be some of the best tools.
WOW this is Adam Savage! I like you
Tested in 20 years time: Adam has to add an extension to his workshop to accommodate the thickness of tape accumulated on his slate.
15:28 Tattoo/drawings on his left forearm showing up again. I'd 3D print these. I don't have all that cool equipment to machine them.
Dang! I was hoping to see his homemade vacuum former come out to play!
Won me over 17 seconds into the video when you said puppet!
Great work sir
This is the stuff i subscribed for!
Fascinating!
Watching this while working on an animatronic eye mechanism of my own.
You know, Adam, you can sometimes get better adaptation with that dental thermoformer if you make a paper mask to block off all but the 1-2mm of holes right around the item to be formed over. It thus directs the vacuum air to just the area right around the item to be molded.
Source - I’m a dentist.
Thought that slate said "Eye Meth" 😂
As a maker, how much of what you do with the different jigs and techniques is from having observed it or do you just come up with some of these on the fly? It's fascinating to watch.
Adam, an idea for a video
it would be really cool if you made a bigger vacuum machine to make copies of props and masks, because with a rigid sculpture underneath, you could make a lot of masks
The hunk of wood @10:16 is giving me alien Romulus m4a1 handle vibes
7:44 if you want a great example of what Adam talked about drill pieces do warp and move, look close here at how much that drill bit wobbles even as it lines up with the pre-drilled bits.
Did you all read that article in the Strategist? I think Adam Savage should go visit Jason Schwartzman and take a look at all the One Day Builds he "did along at home" 🤣
We totally saw this and were SO EXCITED!
@@tested I want do see what you can all do together with magnets and a laminator, hell that guy's got a whole art studio to play in by the sounds of it, so wholesome 😄
What a great video. I would love to see the animatronic where these will be used. ^^
Oh, you will see it soon!
I just imagine Adam is keeping some person afloat by buying all the scrap tubes from their ebay like the hotdog guy that follows homer simpson around lol
adam preparing to springlock himself so he can live forever and play with robots
1:34 I know that as "Reagents" when playing World of Warcraft, when leveling up a profession (mostly Engineering and Mining).
Although, with engineering i think they were just called "Parts", now that i think of it, but my point was, i never saw the word "fixtures" when talking about ingredients that were made solely to be used up into making the end product.
I'm always amazed at the precision you accomplish with such bouncy floors... Would it be worthwhile (or even possible) to access your floor structure from underneath and double up the joists or add support piers under some of the heavier equipment and/or workbench? Is a very beautiful but old structure I imagine...
Curious if a heat gun over the vacuform while the actual forming is taking place would help.
Hey Adam,
maybe this might be helpful for you in the future who knows, but since i work a lot with 3d printing and thermoforming, there is much easier ways to achieve your results. For example you could transform your 3d printed part into plaster either by printing the mould or by making the mould out of alginate.
Thermoforming and cutting plaster is way easier.
Alternatively you could use a resin printer since the material isnt thermoplastic its also great to work with.
That's kinda spooky... And I was here thinking, how does laika approach making puppet eye joints I wish adam savage did an eye mechanism tutor-
16 hours ago apparently... am i being recorded :O
Actual hero.
Man, I would pay for a guided tour of the workshop but it would have to be slow & deliberate to take it all in.
I kept waiting for the Blade Runner quote "I just do eyes."
I se that box labelled 'Dune Ornithopter,' you can't hide it from me!
Adam, do be careful when parting things off on the lathe. You used your hex key to catch the first piece and then caught the rest by hand, which you should never do. I hope you didn't have your finger inside the bore. The 'slag' piece the was left after the first part luckily wasn't there for the others. That could easily wrap around your finger if it doesn't come off with the ring, which sometimes they don't.
Adam Savage, a dancing machinist!
I love how when you adjust the height of your milling machine l, it sounds like the Power Loader from Aliens!!!.
nice 6 jaw buck chuck and multifix tool post!
that's a nice lathe set up.
Consider 3D printing your fixtures, collets, & holders. ABS or PETG make perfect custom soft jaws and 3D printing the final form and using it a a zero reference for your DRO’S will radically speed up the making process. You can also stamp thin aluminum and copper using 3D plastic prints and it’s a very inexpensive way to make “tooled” parts in small quantity’s.
