Adam Savage's One Day Builds: First Order Retrievability Tool Cart!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2023
- Adam rebuilds the most important tool cart in the cave: the storage for all his drill bits, end mills, and various drivers. It's an exercise in first order retrievability and reexamining the tools Adam goes to most in his builds. And of course the whole thing is put on casters. And as Adam finishes up this cart, he keeps the momentum up by remaking his shop's vast hammer storage!

beautifully made and perfect solutions for the specific actuall problem... applauds to you sir!!
Good channel, but how in the name of Black & Decker did you get all those subscribers??
@@stanleymasterson1135 Having a very popular tv show for 20 years (ish) helps a bit!
@@stanleymasterson1135 Great content does the rest of the heavy lifting!
You should check out project farm on UA-cam. He bought all the step drill bits and tested the all
I remember being very upset when Mythbusters ended, but this video reveals perfectly what it was I loved about that show in the first place: watching Adam and Jamie solve problems. I’m so glad he’s making these videos for us. He just might be my favorite human being
Really appreciate the kind comment - we will pass it on to Adam!
yeah you are right! good comment
Agreed! Mr Adam is very much at the top of my ‘wonderful humans’!
Agreed. He seems like a kind person, first and foremost. Pursuing his own goals while being considerate of others. I've watched all of his work, BUT, I like his Tested videos and talks about workflow and organization much more than Mythbusters. His process is his gift. I dont really watch regular TV. Thanks, Adam!
Thats such a wake up call for why I enjoyed the show really. I honestly think it could have been about anything, but the personalities that were on it just completely brought it together. I just don't think I would have enjoyed it without Adam and Jamie.
This video has a refreshing vibe around it. I think the fact that Adam authentically is working through the process, rather than always doing bits to camera really accentuates the idea that we are just on the journey with you. Points of this have a real "water cooler" discussion, like "those chucking reamers" and you can see Adam is visibly amused in an authentic way. This was a true pleasure to watch.
"I hate making drill bit stands, it's extremely boring."
I elect to believe Adam knew exactly what he was saying there.
If you like this one have a look at his electrical sorting video. It is meditative to watch and definitely helped me trouble shoot my philosophy as well. In addition it feels very raw and you feel like you’re really tracing with him.
I stated the video thinking "What, 45 minutes?.." And ended the video "that was a fast 45 minutes!"
Yeah… this was delightful. Some UA-camrs or even professionals describe the tools and in the end you are like… “huh… what was he talking about!?” . He not also describes them… he also shows them in different angles and how they work. Amazing 😊
“Aziz, light!” Is one of my favorite quotes and it made me smile to hear Adam use it too. I love these shop videos!
I love how Adam is just doing his own thing is his own shop and is just bringing us along for the ride. No playing to the camera, just happy to do what he's doing and sharing it to the world. Good vibes.
The Savage-man in his natural habitat.
Savage Organization videos are my favorite videos. Like, where else can I find well-thought-out organizational philosophy in action? Thanks, Adam!
Also, indoor rock climbing gyms use T-nuts to hold 200+ pound individuals through dynamic pulling forces, so they're pretty awesome through and through.
Only three minutes in but I have to say, I love that in the edits, they keep in the parts of Adam staring at a project or a part or whatever and thinking about it. Cause I do that a Lot. Even when he's not facing the camera, you can see the wheels turning and sometimes I even feel like I can visualize what he is too! Its just a part of the process that I love to see!
I'm pretty sure I had the realization about the reamers at the exact same time as Adam did.
This is inspiring me to fix my jumbled mess of tool storage. It's even more motivating to see Adam strive to use materials on-hand and disassemble things for parts rather than "just go buy a 2x4." It's made me realize that I can definitely put together a great solution without having to commit to buying stuff before I feel like I can get started.
11/10 would watch cart and hammerack build again
Fascinating! 🖕🏾👎🏿
Yes, however Adam should only do as he’s told, and not talk. He should only build. Any talking should be edited out.
It was so very simple and small and not related to the topic whatsowever but hearing Adam say " Ladies gentlemen and 'everybody else' " Really did make me happy, its noticed, its appreciated
Love the controlled chaos.
Adam riding the dopamine wave of hyper focus.
loooove infrastructure builds, theyre probably my favorite. seeing adam clean up and organize his space is very motivational haha and gives me some great ideas. he looks so happy when he is finished
This is more Adam than we have seen before . Brilliant and so much fun to watch .
Really? I thought that it was very….
…BORE-ing. :)
"Look at all this mess! What a chaotic... and spectacular after effect." One of my favorite lines, Adam! Great build. You've inspired me to rethink a few things about my workshop.
I love that even Adam Savage walks into his shop sometimes and says "idk what to do today" knowing full well there are dozens of other unfinished projects that just don't interest you at the moment and decides to do something completely unrelated. This is what is awesome about this channel is it helps everyone else know that even some of thee best in their field has thee same thoughts and moments you do
For a man who wrote a book titled "Every tool's a hammer" Adam sure owns a ton of hammers.
I thought it was "Everything you buy at Harbor Freight will eventually be used as a hammer."
It's a pretty darn good book, too!
Every tool is a hammer but hammers are by far the best hammers.
Every hammer's a tool and I bloody love justifying additional tool purchases
Jeremy Clarkson enters chat.
Some shops look like an cubicle-filled office with everything neatly hidden in generic drawers and cabinets. Some are old-world, with beautiful, hand-hewn, custom wooden storage. Adam's is the best: a cramped, chaotic, magical attic packed to the gills with objects of fascination. And still totally practical and functional. Back in the 2000's I lived (I think) just a couple blocks away!
That diversion into discussing Reamers was exactly what brings me joy watching this channel. The interesting nuance within a technical field that is not my own, and yet so simply described and with such enthusiasm, is definitively comforting content.
I ditched drawers when I was 12 years old. I got rid of the dresser in exchange for a set of floor to ceiling shelves made from wood planks and those decorative concrete blocks that are used in yard work throughout southern Florida. Not only did it help keep all my clothes at a “first order retrievable” level, but it was able to hold double the amount. I was able to access the upper shelves because it was located across from the end of my bed and I would climb up the end of the bunk bed to get to them. I liked how having everything in view helped me to keep it organized.
I am a fan of the adage “A place for everything,and everything in its place;” but, there is always a need to have an “Everything Drawer,” a place for that random doodad I find in my pocket at the end of the day. About once a month I go through the drawer and organize it too. Some things stay in the drawer like the roll of waxed string and heavy needle that I keep handy because I don’t want to go to the shop for a little repair job.
We bought a fixer upper of our own two years ago after a lifetime of renting, and in the process of all the repairs and upgrades I do not have an Everything Drawer right now and it shows. My end table is piled with books and pens and random pocket things that are not getting tidied. Every time I have a choice I am spending the time on building the infrastructure of the house, developing the workspace in the basement, replacing the tube and post electrical in the second floor, creating a music and art studio in the semi finished attic. I still need to replace the interior load bearing wall that was removed in a 1973 remodel and leaves the ceiling of the first floor sagging about two inches. And all the while my bedside end table calamity keeps piling up with occasional landslides. 😂
Adam, when you do videos like this, I feel like you've invited me into the shop and let me be a part of your inner circle. Thanks for that.
Its like being part of a legend and feeling "I was there when he changed that"
I cannot express how much I love this video. An unfiltered window into Adam's brain is a truly wonderful, validating for my own brain AND entertaining as well. If I get a vote, I really want to have more of this and less of the more polished videos.
Mr. Savage - There is an old urban proverb that goes
"He who dies with the most tools, wins". You sir, when it
finally becomes your time, will be the ultimate winner. Thank-you
for doing what you do.
Honestly, one of Adam's most endearing qualities is how he listens to himself. When he questions something, he legitimately listens to the answer even when it is contrary to what he is already committed to. That is such a hard thing to do!
I was cleaning my shop the other week when I realized that the enemy of "a place for everything" is "every place has a thing." I was out of room and started piling things where they didn't belong, especially in valuable work-spaces. This video is great because it not only gives me ideas on how to efficiently use my shop, but also reminds me that I need to plan for future growth.
I’ve realized (but not successfully executed, yet…) that storage and workspace need to be in balance. If everything is at hand then it is in your way, and if it’s all ‘away’ you waste time retrieving it (or worse, replacing it when it can’t be found!)
@@kennethelwell8574 Well said. Someday the execution will be informed by this wisdom!
My enemy is cleaning. I work til I'm spent and then call it a day and have trouble cleaning my space. When I'm motivated to work, I then have to clean before I can work, and that's a motivation killer.
@@WhiskersJelly The only thing that I've found that can help stop this is to force yourself to clean it up, no matter how beat you feel. Once you do that a few times, your mind will stop thinking "Oh, I can just do that later" and you'll start budgeting in time/energy to clean because of how many times you've had to clean when you were painfully out of energy.
AKA: The pain of cleaning when you really don't want to will remind you to make time to clean when you do want to.
@@WhiskersJelly I feel that, as I often do the same thing. Having tool and supply storage within arms reach of the bench makes clean up quick and easy though. Some industries mandate a "clean as you go" philosophy, and if you can adopt that it makes end-of-day cleanup trivial.
That little 5th element reference was top notch
I really appreciate the arc your brain is on. I often find myself really thinking the exact same stuff, only to see you slightly ahead and with more resources. Yay! It's akin to having an older, cooler, brother. Thanks.
The hammer rack actually has a nice secondary functionality as a wind chime💚💚💚such a satisfying sound when the handles rattle
Your updated philosophy on drawers has been very useful to me. I have pretty severe ADHD and struggle with all elements of executive function, starting tasks, object permanence (for lack of a better term), organising, etc. and spent the longest time feeling like I needed things to be out on display in order to be able to function. I had so many drawers just filled with unorganised junk that languished forever, and I spent horrifying amounts of money re-buying things that I had several of just trapped and forgotten in drawers and other storage. I remember hearing you talk about your changing attitude toward drawers a while back, which prompted me to get one of those Really Useful Box storage towers with the clear drawers. I figured they're just about transparent enough to see the stuff inside, so that'd be a good compromise. But what I hadn't counted on is the sheer benefit that came with having a drawer for each thing, with a label on it. It was a total paradigm shift. Such a huge upgrade in terms of accessibility. I moved house since (first time buy!) and got a new workspace. I've built a huge storage rack with dozens of drawers, laser cut custom dividers, and labelled everything. I wrote some quick and dirty software to do inventory management of electronics parts, auto-extracting purchase data from my emails so I don't have to babysit it or maintain it. It's all a complete game changer and I'm finally starting to feel like my awareness of and access to tools and parts isn't as much of a barrier any more.
Adam Savage has created a new science: Toolology
I agree with so many others… The absolute chaos of this video makes me feel seen. I knew Adam was this way, but he’s always so thoughtful in the pre programmed spots that this felt insanely impromptu and spontaneous. shout out to whoever on the team edited this cluster cluck 😂 Seriously fun vid!!!
I've always had trouble understanding the definitional difference between 'ambivalent' and 'apathetic' but Adam finally helped break down the roots of the former word and now I very clearly see the difference! Vocabulary +1
I wish there were a forum where we could all share our own shop infrastructure builds. I was so inspired during covid with Adam's 1-day infrastructure builds that I totally re-did my own shop. It'd be cool if we had a Tested-centric forum where we could all share our ideas and inspire each other.
I agree! A forum would be magnificent.
Tested has a Discord server.
A Discord server might not be a forum, and it has some convenience problems that a proper forum would not have, but it’s there.
@@a.s.8030 Discord's really awful at being a lot of things a forum is good at, and this kind of resource especially is very poorly-served by Discord. :(
But I guess it's the only available option.
@@JosephDavies reddit is closer to a forum than discord is, though still not quite there. I absolutely hate how discord servers are replacing proper forums these days.
@@shabath Same here. :(
That first order of retriability has made my shop a place where I can work. I follow this concept for all my tools now. Thanks Adam!!!
Lost my Dad in 2019. He was a machinist. It's episodes like this one that makes me so happy to think of him... The whole reamer section was awesome.
Same here, just a different year. Adam is like a surrogate internet Dad for me. I learn so much from his videos. Hope you're doing well.
I have accomplished a retirement goal to downside my tools to one shoebox for basic household jobs. Given up on doing my own automotive maintenance and repairs. I “call the man” and drink martinis while the job gets done. Wonderful.
Amazing wind chimes Adam. I love that sound of hammer handles hitting each other.
Never seen a circle template like that before. And the hammer holders look sublime!! Chef's kiss! Only thing different on the hammers I would do, is make each layer a different depth so they don't overlap and make it harder to pull out the hammer. Stair step.
I'd have made it so you don't have to pull any hammer out. Just cut open each hole and turn it into a U shape.
@@1pcfred That's what I was thinking too, U shape would work much better
@@usagiakimbo2506 I avoid having to thread tools into holes if I can. With the design of hammers there's a couple other holding methods that can be used. There's the U holder and the twin rail rack. Both have advantages over holes. Populating his rack Adam demonstrated one limitation of holes. Hammers with fat handles don't fit into small holes.
I've come to realize; my mornings feel incomplete without digesting an Adam video. Adam building something or modding or answering questions has replaced the bagel/muffin/cinnabun comfort food proxy as my daily coffee companion. It's now coffee and comfort; Tested Style. Thank you. And welcome to my morning routine. :)
The ultimate" man the tool maker" cave organiser. I even bought a book by Dominic Chinea on tools and tool history. We nerds need more of this with our own channel 24 hours a day.
Shop infrastructure builds are by far my favourite of Adam's videos. I struggle with anxiety and I have to say, it completely dissipates watching these. Thank you all
Hey Adam - would be awesome to see a video on how you do power management in the cave.
Noted!
Yes please! That would be awesome!
I'm glad my shop looks like yours. My saying goes... "Genius is messy, the wise are organized, an organized mess is who I am."
"We'll just leave that for now" after dropping a bin of something in the shop is the most relatable effort to stay in flow we have all made. Can't afford to waste the short windows of focus!
There are few things more frustrating, but giving more satisfaction, then organizing a mess and making it functional, while also being aesthetically pleasing.
Love seeing Adams thought process on this one and Recycling old parts!!! 🖤
"it's funny this like what it takes to get to a to a task isn't it" I felt this in my heart.
I was 4 years old when I started watching Mythbusters. Now I'm 16 (still watching). U made my childhood.
Tool sorting video got me subscribed to this channel haha. (Longtime fan from back in mythbusters days) And I still use that technique in my job (chef), and show others that methodology. It works very well for a broad range of careers.
Amazing!
I saw the thumbnail and knew I was in for a banger. Love shop infrastructure videos!
Adam, I think my favorite thing about watching your channel is that your shop. Is exactly like mine. Once a year I have to spend the weekend putting everything back where it belongs, creating new places for the new things I have acquired and making the place look new again😂 7:20
One thing I absolutely love about watching you, is how excited you can get over little things like adding light to a shelf. It makes me happy, because I'm the same way.
Love you Adam! I am glad (as a bodger and tool-guy myself) to see that my workbench/toolbox is not alone in suffering the same fate. About every 3 months, I go out to the garage (with a 12-pack as motivation) and put things in their proper place. 🙃
AND - I just got to 31'51" !!! The Fifth Element is my 2nd favorite movie. The Blues Brothers will always be #1 in my heart.
Great movie- figured someone already commented.
Probably one of my favorite videos, those cable clip mess always made my head spin
This video is exactly the reason that I watch Adam. As a maker and a person who acquires tools, I can tell that Adam "gets it"! Thanks, AS!
I had so much fun watching this! I'm about the same age as Adam and I just love all my new and old tools I've collected over the years, fixing anything I can get my hands on, and even more so organizing all my tools. It's so satisfying. Adam, you're my hero. Thanks for all you do to share with us your world. I learn from you every day. Your shop is amazing.
I cannot express how much I love your workshop! :D And I also appreciate the idea of continuously improving on tools (and other little helpers) bit by bit.
Adam's habit of building systems to help keep himself to a system but then abandoning that system feels very familiar to me. 😂 but having that system in place means that even if you get off track, you can get back to it easily with some simple tidying up. I think that's super important for us easily excited/distracted maker types.
Absolutely.
When I am in the thick of a project, I have stuff scattered, and strewn everywhere. I am busy building and am not going to waste time putting things back. But after I am done, it is great to have a designated spot to put things away, and restore order to the chaos. At least for a little while, until the next project starts.
Workshops are a process of evolution.
I will NEVER get tired of watching Adam knock the lights and cameras around.
Gotta love the genius that is Adam Savage! The most organised, disorganised person in history! Obsessive compulsives wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry…😂😢
At 14:04 Adam shows a step drill bit. These are very handy indeed. These are especially useful for drilling into thin materials of project boxes and sheet goods without tearing up the part. These come in the thicker style Adam showed with larger size jumps between steps (1/8") and narrow ones with steps down to 1/32". There are both fractional inches and metric types. There is also one specifically for use by electricians. My $0.02
fun video!! One of my favorite workshop creations is my "frankenFORT" inspired largely by your system. I don't know if it has a single 90 degree angle in it since it was one of my first projects, but man the pure, raw function is off the charts. I've applied the philosophy to every work surface I've built since, with tool wells and open storage built into every piece of shop furniture. My time spent creating would be horribly inefficient and disorganized if I hadn't seen some of your other FORT material years ago. Thanks for that!
Nice work Randy! I like that you’re able to control the temp now for heat treating. A much more versatile tool now. Excellent! 🙌 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just watching this old video again, as a model builder on hobby level myself, this old type of vidioes inspired me to find out what to do with my own building paint work area
Recently found this channel. Only wish I had found it a long time ago.
I love Adam's content and how he does each video. I also love how personal the videos are. It's like you are right there with him. He is so quirky and BRILLIANT!! His incredible shop is a hot mess but I LOVE IT!!!
It's fun to follow along and see his mind working to solve problems and come up with great solutions.....Now I've been binge watching and I just can't seem to get enough :o)
Thank you sir for producing these very cool videos!!!
Always fun to watch Adam working through a problem. Its funny, at first glance, Adam's shop is chaos, but as you watch him work, you realise, it is organised, just there is just too much stuff for the space....which is impressive because his shop is not small. It will be interesting if he ends up moving, because no matter how big the new space is, it will eventually be too small again one day...
My favorite aspect of the new hammer storage is that it sounds like wooden wind chimes
Videos like this bring me back to my childhood.
7:55
It might help with the sag if you added a 5th caster center of the 4.
Loved this one. Lighted storage is underrated!
Adam, I had never heard the term, “first order of retrievability”. Now I know what I’m lacking. If you were to watch me try and find ANYTHING tool wise, you would rent your hair and scream, like I usually do. As a person who has suffered from ADHD my whole life, organization is daily struggle. I love watching you get excited about organizing your stuff. I feel it, and wish I could do the same. Nothing kills initiative more than not being able to find THAT tool you need, when you need it.
Just got to love Adam's way of thinking.
The trick to fitting the metric drillbit dispenser into the cart and keeping it useful is to simply toss out all the imperial ones...
I would love to see more videos of you improving your own Shopsystems.
More to come!
Round of applause for the consummate professional for going through an entire segment about the various different types of DEEZ NUTZ withput once dropping a DEEZ NUTZ reference.
Ladies and gentlemen, bear witness to the greatest living professional broadcaster around, Adam Savage.
GIVE IT UP EVERYBODY!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I loved watching you cut that first sheet of ply down!
My internal monologue became all the "internet safety inspectors" screaming at you while, mid cut, you look behind you AND THEN drag your saw closer having realised you need more space.
It made me smile.
#gettingitdone
Very intresting to see how Adam tackles these kind off problems. For me I actually use the cheap magnetic Knife holders for your kitchen and just attach them in rows on top of my bench and write what size and just let the metal stick to the magnet to store them
I also would reccomend attaching with a string a drill bit size gauge right next to the red bin for putting away drill bits.
He has calipers to measure drill bits with. Those drill cards with the holes in them are hokey and not accurate. They're usually just for fractional drill bits too. There's also the numbers and letter sizes and metric. Then there's custom bits too.
I keep a couple of those drill cards with me all the time bc I absolutely cannot read the lettering on the bits!
great video. really feeling the 5 s vibes here. creating a lean environment for a workshop that doesn't do repetitive work is a difficult task.
“Aziz, light!” and I am LOLing at 2 in the morning! Love it!
I always get giddy myself when I have to make a home in my workshop for a new tool and the satisfaction of reorganizing a tool space so it's more convenient
My 8th grade shop teacher had what he called a FLOOR cart…. I always thought it was because he pushed it around from one work station to the next…. On the shop floor.
Years later at a class reunion I found out that it actually meant First Logical Order Of Retrievability.
Mind 🤯
Think I'm finally ready to admit it.... Adam Savage is my spirit animal 😂
I love the T Nut shoutout! Theatre technicians rule and that’s definitely the best way to mount casters ❤️
All these shop infrastructure videos are great. I'm interested to see Adam's thoughts on the aftermath of changes like this. How long until the new "muscle memory" sets in? Do changes get finessed until a truly permanent arrangement emerges? What were the awesome solutions that turned out not so great?
In unrelated news, today Adam made me consider the root of the word "ambivalent" for the first time, and realize the obvious relation to "covalent" etc.
Enjoyable to see a shop that's evolved around actually being used
Every 'shop tour' video I watch on yt has me wondering if its really just a festool promotional video
I saw your book "Every Tool is a Hammer" at 42:53. Thank you for inspiring all us makers to be better and have fun! Keep on making!
When people at our office start acting like this, it's usually about the time we start suggesting [firmly] that they take some of that mountain of holiday they have stored up.... LOL
Adam: this is my first order retrievability tool cart so I can always find what I’m looking for!
Also Adam: now where did I put my first order retrievability tool cart at?
This is great
true also
Adam Savage's Tested posted a new video: "Mounting GPS tracker on first order retrievability tool cart!"
listening to the thought process evolve on the fly is my favourite part about watching DADam savage
As metric user it is completly wild to listen to Adam talking minutes and minutes about fractions of meassurements that I don't understand and be so passionate about them. Listening to him Almosen convinced me to go imperial there for a second😂
I wonder if there's a way to track your movement through your shop over the course of a month or so and generate a heatmap of the areas you visit most frequently and/or spend the most time. It might be an interesting way to isolate unoptimized areas of your shop.
the data might also show the 'hot spots' generated by all the piles of crap he leaves lying around
maybe then he can rectify some of these tripping hazards
@@shadowscion don't let ocd cramp your creativity!
"making bit stands is extremely boring" hehehehehe
You forgot the wiz nut. Thank you for the plethora of ideas, information, and inspiration!
I see several parallels in my own process, but I think you are the king of organized chaos. I just wish I had a workshop to match.
"I have a particular distaste for making bit stands, only because it's extremely BORING."
--Adam Savage, 2023
Came here to see if anyone else made that joke... it's wonderful
Whoever edited this did a really good job
"Aziz! Light!" Appreciate the 5th Element reference. Nice job Adam, as always
"ladies and gentlemen and everybody else" I like! That sounds like a party!
Also the incidental hammer xylophone/wind chime.
The thing that probably strikes home the most with me about this video is the simple child-like glee from Adam when he completes a simple storage cart.
Admittedly I personally would have made the hammer cart just welding 2" stubs of pipe together but ... different go-to materials for different folks. I think Adam once said on (or about) Myth Busters that he tended to err towards wood whereas Jamie tended to err towards building things from metal.
I *need* a series where Adam reviews and critiques the organizational methods of the home shops of us viewers
The man tosses out the literally correct use of Agglomeration as if he's rattling off his name. Thank you. Ever the champion of "Details Matter"
Madness! I love it. I thought, "who has FOURTY hammers?!?" Adam Savage does. And I remember that drawers comment way back and it stuck with me. I feel the same way. But a big fat label can be helpful.
