For some reason I'm getting serious Bob Ross feelings watching your videos Adam. You're so chill and calm and "you don't need all these things, just use what you have". It's great! Thank you so much.
"I bought it back when I was making TV money" was one of the most real things i have heard someone on youtube say in ages - i felt that comment to the bone!
This took me back to industrial arts class in junior high. I can just hear my teacher giving every safety lecture on every power tool as they were shown to us. I of course listened and never had a mishap but can remember others having cuts and bruises from poor tool usage. Thankfully though,, no one lost fingers. My favorite projects that I made were a sheet steel dust pan that I gifted my mom and a cork board and chalk board message center for use by the phone. I also have a plexiglass key chain I made and key ring holder. Sadly in high school they would not allow me to take building trades. They refused to let girls in the class citing safety issues. I learned cement, plumbing, basic electric, roofing, and construction from my grandpa building hunting hunting cabins. I also learned car care from my dad and grandpa when learning to drive. I still do almost all of my own work alongside my husband. Thanks for the good memory reminders.
Adam: I can't believe I didn't measure, I'm so lazy. Also Adam: cuts like 400 small slots into strips of plywood with a table saw, just so he can make a rim.
@@andykenyon2699 - I've destroyed a bread knife on ONE home foam job in the past. The bread/carving knives don't have the end support, and all the stress is transferred to the pivot points of the blades. That $20 knife won't hold up to any appreciable stress. Carving 4" foam is nearly instant death for them. Even 2" is really hard on them. They're good to have around, but don't count on them lasting long.
@@TheTalonts well if the bread knife will only last one project and the actual tool will last bust costs ~350 i guess the question is are you going to do more than 17 projects that need it because otherwise its time to buy 17 electric bread knives :)

That foam cutting tool brings back memories of working for $2/hour as an upholsterer's helper (yeah, it was the mid-70's). Once customer came in wanting new foam for some seat cushions, and the master just handed me the tool, and pointed out where the new foam was. I traced out the new against the old pieces, and cut out new pieces while he waited. I enjoyed watching the build, but yeah, you need a bigger table so you can fit the full nine around the table. Shuffle up and deal! :) Thanks Adam.
24:30 - Adam talks about safety while using a nail gun. 20:13 - Adam rotates the nail gun, 360, right in front of his face. me: **starts sweating excessively**
@@wolly2516 i remember reading about nail gun injuries, like the one happened in Littleton, Colorado in 2005. Construction worker goes to the dentist because of toothache where he learns that he got a 4-Inch nail stuck in his head.
Those nailers actually have a little tongue that has to be depressed before they will fire. People usually hurt themselves when they rest the gun against their leg, or when they're trying to nail a particularly tricky joint.
I've worked with nailer in furniture manufacturing. Most have a little contact safety that if they are not depressed against something will not fire. (only two on myself) I used one 7 hours a day for a couple years. I've literally seen hundreds of injuries to them and staple guns. You have got to be way more inattentive or have disengaged the safety feature to get hurt. The only really bad injuries are if the nail/staple bends when it punches through the bone, hits a vein/artery, or a big nerve. The rest just sting and bleed.
When Adam Savage says "I'm so lazy" part of me is like, "oh my god if that's lazy than what am I?" but another, better part of me says "See? If Adam Savage feels lazy sometimes but he's really not, then maybe when you're beating yourself up for being lazy you're being unfair to yourself. Give yourself a break, you're okay."
Me watching Adam work: Hes so efficient in the way he works. Also me: Hes violating almost every single safety speech and best practice ive ever leaned in a shop basically every time he picks up a tool. lol

/me raises his hand. Man, I was thinking "oh, please don't damage that nice felt surface. Please!" the whole time, including when he was putting tools down on it.
Get a good vacuum cleaner for dust extraction! It will make everything better. The router will cut better without being drowned in wood chips. AND you will breathe less dust into your lungs...
EXACTLY! :-) And then he decides to go backward and my stomach just distorted for some reason... oh, yeah, wrong way = accident-in-the-making, that's why :p

Hello! this is your friendly neighborhood carpenter! While there are many ways to cut circles, (there's really nothing wrong with yours because you know what you're doing) but these are the ways I would recommend to anyone without a large amount of experience. first, if you want to stick with a full depth router cut, draw your circle, cut it out with a jig saw (leaving no more than half the router bit thickness) than use your circle jig. this way you would be able to cut the entire circumference without backtracking, it would cut down on chatter, and is typically "safer". The second way, if you only want one set up, is to just like you did it, but take 1/4" depth /pass. (the router bit radius) this should still eliminate the backtracking and the majority of the chatter. method number three, and probably the quickest by far is a circle jig for a band saw. at least for the table surface. Love watching you work and I hope this comment is helpful!
I like how you explain something you're about to do (probably honestly and genuinely to the best of your ability) before you do it, but it's just vague enough that I still have to figure it out as you do it.
Watching adam realize it's a tight 6 person table when he hoped it was a 7 person, Something I've done before, before building it, draw it up in sketchup, then use a program like VRSketch to test out the table, sitting at it, etc. I did this recently when buiding a custom table for DND that had an inside and desk trays for each person. Worked great to let someone sit at it and test it out to request changes before I even put metal to wood.
@@nudl3Zz You can still damage your ears even when using hearing aids. Hearing aids make so your hearing range is larger, but doesn't stop the pressure wave from damaging it. Think of it like this. With hearing loss, it would be like you wearing a bunch of thick clothing and some one pokes you with a finger. You're able to feel the prod, but you would have a harder time making out the exact point they poked you vs your bare skin. A loud enough sound to damage your ears would be like a punch (in this analogy, the clothing wouldn't be able to soften the blow, unless you were wearing clothing designed to soften it, e.g. earplugs). Another way of thinking it, is if you look at a sound save like a sine wave. Frequency is your hearing range and is usually measured in hertz (1 cycle/s = 1 Hz). Amplitude is how tall the waves get when you change the volume and is measured in decibels (dBA). Amplitude is the energy of the pressure wave and is the primary concern for hearing protection.
I may be incorrect but I think in the video where he talks about his hearing aids they actually have a noise canceling function that he can kick in via his phone so that might be the case.
When Adam goes: this is a six person table it looked like more of a 3 person table to me :D And oh my god i freak out seeing him working with the router without a mask and his hoodie laces all dangling down.
Swapping out the Torx bits for Phillips Head is a move I've never considered and can't wait to use. I also didn't know how to cut a circle until today, that guide is awesome.

He had enough. He had his test piece. He could have cut a chunk out of that. He even picked it up, and moved it to make the little chunk on the table saw.
Hah, I had those exact words in my head and knew that I couldn't be alone. Scroll down the comments and bam, there it is. Torx screws are fantastic. No more having to put your whole weight behind the screwdriver to keep the damn thing from slipping and stripping the screw head. No more picking a Phillips when you really needed a Pozi and it never quite works right. No more picking a Phillips that is slightly too small, but it kinda works, so you go for it anyways aaaand... destroyed screw. With torx, if it fits, it's the right bit and you can drive them in without worrying about the bit slipping out or mangling the head of the screw so you never get it back out. It just works and I love it. Ok, I'll stop ranting now :)
I love Adam’s videos because it’s just him talking/doing something he’s extremely passionate about and even if I’m not going to be a maker it shows how I should feel about what I’m doing
And then he starts slicing and dicing right on top of his nice felt like it's a common workbench. He's so lucky he didn't cut a slit in it. He was too tired to notice the danger.
I used to work at a small casino table manufacturer, a lot of similarities on how they made poker tables with your build! Certainly brought back memories

36:35 - WHY WOULD YOU CUT ON THE FELT TABLE OH MY GOD.
Gave me anxiety, ngl.
For sure biting my nails! Haha
Get a good vacuum cleaner for dust extraction!
It will make everything better. The router will cut better without being drowned in wood chips.
AND you will breathe less dust into your lungs...
Are there any industrial roombas for woodworking shops? 😂
@@tadasskeltys I'm pretty sure I've actually seen one made by makita
@@tadasskeltys Well, if anyone in the robot making world. Has yet not done it. They are slacking hard. There is clearly a market!
Or at the very least a respirator
Festo makes good tool vacuum cleaners.
5:42 I can feel that router going "...that's some thick plywood there buddy. How about we do it in 2 passes? Adam...? Bud...?"
EXACTLY! :-)
And then he decides to go backward and my stomach just distorted for some reason... oh, yeah, wrong way = accident-in-the-making, that's why :p
I'm so glad I wasn't the first to notice this. Hearing that router groan every time he put his weight behind it...........it may just give me nightmares. lol
I thought that too!
@@flyingman09101984 front the sound of it though, it sounded like his original pass was in the wrong direction for the rotation, but I guess that could have been how hard is router was working
I could get past him not wearing any hearing or respiratory protection! I assume his glasses are safety glasses but who knows if he’s not even wearing a mask!
This guy's excitement for what he does is just so contagious

When you guys get around to to it, do you mind linking the cheap poker table video Adam mentioned?
Didn't you want to link your inspiration video ;)?
Yes, where's the inspiration link?!

Hello! this is your friendly neighborhood carpenter! While there are many ways to cut circles, (there's really nothing wrong with yours because you know what you're doing) but these are the ways I would recommend to anyone without a large amount of experience. first, if you want to stick with a full depth router cut, draw your circle, cut it out with a jig saw (leaving no more than half the router bit thickness) than use your circle jig. this way you would be able to cut the entire circumference without backtracking, it would cut down on chatter, and is typically "safer". The second way, if you only want one set up, is to just like you did it, but take 1/4" depth /pass. (the router bit radius) this should still eliminate the backtracking and the majority of the chatter. method number three, and probably the quickest by far is a circle jig for a band saw. at least for the table surface.
Love watching you work and I hope this comment is helpful!
26:20 “I was pretty sure from the measurements that was going to work but.... you never know” 😂😂 these words can’t be any more true
Adam, having just finished using an angle grinder without a guard or handle: "I have another safety tip for you!"
Do what I say,not as I do.
@@it3897 that's ALWAYS struck me about him.
This is exactly what my woodworking teacher in school would do haha, broke almost every safety rule in the book while telling us not to do that
@@Zebra.Lionfish i personally try to lead by counterexample
He will do that until the first wheel shatters and he has the pieces removed from his face
I like how you explain something you're about to do (probably honestly and genuinely to the best of your ability) before you do it, but it's just vague enough that I still have to figure it out as you do it.
Watching adam realize it's a tight 6 person table when he hoped it was a 7 person, Something I've done before, before building it, draw it up in sketchup, then use a program like VRSketch to test out the table, sitting at it, etc. I did this recently when buiding a custom table for DND that had an inside and desk trays for each person. Worked great to let someone sit at it and test it out to request changes before I even put metal to wood.
That was the first thing I noticed - I'm like this will be squishy
It will be easy to look at your neighbors’ cards 👀
It was the "this is fine moment" where I thought no its not but keep on pretending. It hurt to watch.
I'd love to see the custom DnD table you made..I'm desperately looking for inspiration.
@@x9x9x9x9x9 You could see the gear's turning in his head. If he'd had more time, no question he would've scrapped it and started again.
Definition of irony: Adam Savage having a Wear Saftey Glasses sign in his shop.
Gotta have proof of health and safety code don't mean ya have to follow it
Hasn't he mentioned at some point that he has polycarbonate lenses in his glass or am thinking of someone else?
@@oliverer3 maybe, but I'm not seeing any side sheilds, and they are required.
He does it to be.... savage 😎
Even so, he’s also not wearing hearing protection or a mask
This is totally Adams true element. Stars aligned for this guy and we're all grateful for it.

Adams miscalculations make the rest of us feel human.
"I'm so lazy."
Best moment.
Love watching Adam build stuff. 1 it make me want to build things. 2 I explain just as he does even if there is no one in the room.
Me: Adam, Where is your ear protection?
Adam: WHAT?? LOUDER! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!
do you have to wear ear protection then you are wearing hearing aids?
@@nudl3Zz Depends! If the noise minus the hearing loss is still above 83-86dBA, get yourself some protection. (am audiologist)
Reminds me of how he seems to always weld without gloves. Skin cancer is a thing lol
@@nudl3Zz You can still damage your ears even when using hearing aids. Hearing aids make so your hearing range is larger, but doesn't stop the pressure wave from damaging it. Think of it like this. With hearing loss, it would be like you wearing a bunch of thick clothing and some one pokes you with a finger. You're able to feel the prod, but you would have a harder time making out the exact point they poked you vs your bare skin. A loud enough sound to damage your ears would be like a punch (in this analogy, the clothing wouldn't be able to soften the blow, unless you were wearing clothing designed to soften it, e.g. earplugs).
Another way of thinking it, is if you look at a sound save like a sine wave. Frequency is your hearing range and is usually measured in hertz (1 cycle/s = 1 Hz). Amplitude is how tall the waves get when you change the volume and is measured in decibels (dBA). Amplitude is the energy of the pressure wave and is the primary concern for hearing protection.
I may be incorrect but I think in the video where he talks about his hearing aids they actually have a noise canceling function that he can kick in via his phone so that might be the case.
When Adam goes: this is a six person table it looked like more of a 3 person table to me :D
And oh my god i freak out seeing him working with the router without a mask and his hoodie laces all dangling down.
in the first 30 seconds of the video when he said the dimensions I thought "WAY to small for poker"
Jumping on the table and off x 2... Don't try that at home
Such a happy guy. So cool to see him still creating.

Adam Savage: Solving world peace by hiding crimes with a cloth.
I was kinda thinking, world peace might very well be possible to solve over a game of poker ;P
How Adam solves world peace: "hiding the crimes."
Swapping out the Torx bits for Phillips Head is a move I've never considered and can't wait to use.
I also didn't know how to cut a circle until today, that guide is awesome.

You know he's legit when one of his nails are black and another finger is completely bandaged up.
He's not legit. Just a poor workman.
JFB 101 just curios what makes him a poor workman?
Better than you I bet..
every project requires a blood sacrifice.
I swear, it's always the same finger that's bandaged up. Consistency is key.

21:10 "Can't believe i didn't mesure, i'm so lazy" while LITERALLY BUILDING A BLOODY POKER TABLE !!!
Gotta love Adam
He had enough. He had his test piece. He could have cut a chunk out of that. He even picked it up, and moved it to make the little chunk on the table saw.
You could use a 47" diameter hole saw and a 37" Foerster bit for that padded ring next time.

Close your eyes
"Do you really need torx head screws?"
I don't know that we can be friends anymore Adam.
We need to educate him better.
Hah, I had those exact words in my head and knew that I couldn't be alone. Scroll down the comments and bam, there it is.
Torx screws are fantastic. No more having to put your whole weight behind the screwdriver to keep the damn thing from slipping and stripping the screw head. No more picking a Phillips when you really needed a Pozi and it never quite works right. No more picking a Phillips that is slightly too small, but it kinda works, so you go for it anyways aaaand... destroyed screw.
With torx, if it fits, it's the right bit and you can drive them in without worrying about the bit slipping out or mangling the head of the screw so you never get it back out. It just works and I love it.
Ok, I'll stop ranting now :)
@@treborrrrr What about Robertson screws/driver?
@@virtuous-sloth I have very little experience with that type. But by the few times I've used them I did like those quite a bit as well.
When he cams out a Philips head he will think again about the torx.
Adam will have a bruised fingernail at his funeral lol
I was wondering what the hell did he do? That is a pretty big bruise.
@@ragingmando5956 Bruises under the nails always looks very dramatic and they stick around for a very long time
He should wear his Iron Man Suit to do his little jobs..lol.
Why do you want him dead?
I think it’s funny that he’s got a bandaid on the finger next to the finger that’s bruised. Dude, be more careful with your digits.
I love Adam’s videos because it’s just him talking/doing something he’s extremely passionate about and even if I’m not going to be a maker it shows how I should feel about what I’m doing
Passionate+extremely knowledgeable and experienced forgot to add that lol
That work bench/table at the beginning was so wobbly... I was sure it would collapse underneath him.
"That was exhausting"
The the realization that he has to do it all again :(
And then he starts slicing and dicing right on top of his nice felt like it's a common workbench. He's so lucky he didn't cut a slit in it. He was too tired to notice the danger.
I used to work at a small casino table manufacturer, a lot of similarities on how they made poker tables with your build! Certainly brought back memories
These are my favourite 1 day builds
"You really don't need this... I bought this when I was making TV money"
These builds make my days so much better.

Having those stones mixed then sorted and presented properly is going take a lot of parts working together perfectly.

Love the madness of being a genuine maker.
Torx is a superior screw drive, that is why companies have switched to it.
Matric is the super system, most businesses use it... others crash space exploration gear.
I often replace Phillips screws I find in my equipment with Torx instead. They are so much better.
Meanwhile, Canadians have been using the superior Roberson screw for the last century...
