“It looks like the drawing” I was LD on an off Broadway Producions. The director walked into the space and exclaimed “IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE MODEL” I asked him what did he think it would look like. His answer was - it always amazed him to sit in the production meetings look at the drawings and models, talk about the construction & painting, and then to walk into the theatre and see the final product. May we all never lose that sense of wonder.
a quick tip from an old machinist i learned from that helps with gaining tighter tolerances on axial operations on a mill. Always keep as much of the quill in side the machine when moving in x and y directions and rather than extending the quill move the knee (z-axis) upwards it takes more time and is a moderately annoying process but always helps to relieve chatter and reduce movement of the quill when milling. Just a tip but overall amazing work Adam.
3 Years ago I was an Arborist, and Today I'm a tool and die maker, conceptualizing, designing, and Machining all of my own parts. watching Adam progress, and learn in the shop has been such an inspiration to me, and my Progess in my skills and career. Thank you so much for providing a Positive and safe space on the internet for People like me and other makers, I don't know if you are aware of how much your work means to some of us.
There is nothing quite so satisfying as to end up with a piece of workmanship that is exactly as the Drawing dictates- similarly there is nothing so relaxing and enjoyable for a retired engineer, than to watch someone create a piece of work utilising his learned skills. Thank you Adam for sharing your work with us old gits, who no longer are able to enjoy the luxury of working in a workshop.
21:21 Ugh. Adam, we honestly love you so please, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES! You looking over your glasses while chips are flying off the mill is not a good safety message. Haven't you had a metal chip in your eye at least once now? Come on!
I absolutely love your chanel. It truly brings me joy in my life. Im in the hospital and cant wait to get home to my space to start making again.I have another 2 months to go before i can go home. Making is as important to me as eating or drinking. It feeds my soul. Watching you make is the next best thing and its keeping me sane. Thank you again Adam.🥰
adam is the definition of jack of all trade master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one. not highly versed in but always a learning experience and out come is always amazing.
Anyone else notice that "Savage Industries" was credited at the end of the first "Book of Bobba Fett" credits. Looking forward to the video explaining that one. Adam did tease in the space suit build he had been doing a commission. I wonder if that was it?
I hadn't noticed, but yeah, it is there, right at the very end. My guess? If he built anything (ie, it wasn't just a consultancy job), it was related to the three disguised Boston Dynamic Spots walking through the Mos Espa street scene. Adam Savage is pretty much the world's foremost expert in the field of adding costumes and mods Spots, after all.
I’m a high school physics teacher. Every year my students design, build, and perform a large scale science demonstration show for the local elementary schools. We have adopted the Mythbusters moto of making it bigger or blow it up. On opening night of the first year of performing, we were doing the bed of nails demo. I was laying on the bed of nails with another bed of nails on top of me and a cinder block on that while my senior AP Physics student busted it with a sledge hammer. We had practiced it dozens of times during the year. However, on this particular occasion a large piece of the block came off and broke my front tooth. Needless to say the show must go on. I went to the dentist the next morning, got the tooth fixed and did the demo four more times that week. Can I please get a chipped tooth demerit badge? Oh, and my wife the chemistry teacher has the block on display in her classroom.
Adam, love your works/been a huge fan for years, can I make a suggestion of merchandise? Shirts reading: Savage Builds: Sometimes it's boring, sometimes it's riveting
Looks like fantastic work Adam!! Gripping a part that thin without deformation isn't trivial. One of the things I love most about making isn't just making the thing, it's making memories. 😉😉 Can't wait to see the finished prop I'm sure it'll be very memorable. ☺️👍
Really look like that Blade Runner 2049 memory orb! It's one of my favorite things I knew Adam would make one some day!!!! Hope to see the result soon I really thing the feels from the butons and the smoothing turning must be something trick to get Can't wait, for a show and tell maybe?
After you've been schooled in stuff, the best way to get your wings up is collaborative projects. We used to do that in school, matching things. Weak link breaks the chain and all that. It was fun at the end of the project to see who messed up and who didn't and how to fix it up, which under the teacher's guidance, would end up being a task between the two matching sections. Relay projects, had lot of fun that year.
I built a nice plastic mystery container with a foreboding number on it, like some sort of government secret zombie mutant virus , i put sand in it for weight ,then weathered it up. It sometimes scares people when it's holding down papers lol
Hey Adam. Love the line " I'm parallel to within a few Microns across 3 or 4 inches". I think we must be about the same age and mix metric and Imperial with impunity! In the UK we have far more metric influence than you do but I still can't bring myself to describe things nominally using millimeters. Thanks for the content. Andy
This is one of the greatest tested videos I've seen. Not too much unnecessary music trying to fill the gaps. Just lots of shots of Adam working, no jump cuts. We just want to see the whole process.
Oh no I know exactly what it’s for. It is the Blade Runner 2049 memory machine. You can see it on the work bench of the recent quick change tool holder video that came out.
Pretty sure he was using it to stop the part from screaming/vibrating. Never thought about doing that but next time I run into a part doing that I am def going to try it.
Hey buddy. Man I feel like you are WAY to comfortable with your hands around that working tool on the mill. That thing eats metal for a living, it wouldn't even know if it got a finger. Keep safe buddy, and keep up the awesome work.
30:16 I had the video going in the background and instinctually exclaimed “hey” in response to Adam as if it was a buddy that just walked into the room. I’m glad Adam also thought his “hey” was comedic 😛
Hey Tested, have you considered having Adam and Norm build a remote control camera that could be controlled over wifi? Then when he is filming in the shop by himself, especially over this last year it could have been nice, you could have your camera person working from home and controlling the camera to get better shots, change focuses as needed, etc. Either something on a stand that's got powered wheels, or some sort of overhead gantry, although I think something on a stand would be more versatile across all the Tested makers.
Those "automatic machines" are a lot less automatic than you probably realize. It takes a lot of expertise to set up and use a CNC machine properly. It's a tool just like any other, it requires the operator to know what they're doing to get the job done.
I think I've guessed it, skip to the 05:10 mark of the "Adam Savage's Favorite Things of 2021" video for the "reveal". If you skip to 20:49, you've gone too far...
First music has a Celtic Women vibe to it. At 25:00 I am realizing that I ought be much more respectful of props and their designers. Thank you for the lesson, Adam.
Where I work as a CAD drafter I sometimes I have to model metric parts that have to match up to imperial parts.....it can get annoying when it comes time to put all the parts together in the top assembly
Hey Adam, why did you bore out the whole middle of the stock and waste all that material instead of just cutting a narrow channel closer to the edge and saving the middle for a future project? Sorry if this is a noob machining question.
There's not really any easy way to do that. There are axial parting/grooving tools that do what you're thinking of, but they must be curved more or less close to the diameter being turned. You could use a hole saw, but that's a nasty job, especially in aluminium. You could drill a bunch of holes in a circle and saw out the core that way, but that's even more work. But it all comes down to having stock to grab. Making both in one go is much easier, and requires more clampable stock than any of the above methods would give you.
I reckon Adams new super secret project is gonna be a Doggo Space Suit for a Cosmo the Spacedog cosplay for Maggie :D And if it's not that...then why not?!?
Demerit badge: Cutting your finger on a drill bit in the drill press that's not even running. Demerit badge: Dropping heavy stock on your foot when you're in your shop barefoot or wearing soft shoes. Demerit badge: Squeezing thin CA bottle to see if tube is clear and getting CA in your eye. Demerit badge: Dropping knife on your foot. Demerit badge: Any injury caused by removing safety features from a tool. Demerit badge; Losing a tool you just had and put down right in front of you and now you can't find it for hours.
The badges are a neat idea and a few are definitely relevant, but I may as well just get the one for gluing my fingers together tattooed on at this point xD
Ok Adam, I got 20 minutes in and wondered why you didn't make any 3D printed versions of those rings so you at least had a physical model to help figure out the cuts after the lathe work. I know they wouldn't work for measurements, but they would have been a good guide for creating a 3D object better than a 2D representation. Especially, for some object and some level of skill/ability you'd never done before. Having been through architecture school I can tell you there's no better guide than a useful draft model for making a finished one.
Machinist here, I think the problem is the set up and indexing the part correctly. Machinists commonly work from a paper print without issues. His problem was timing the first notch to the notches on the other side when he flipped the part. His way was not precise by any means. He could have made a separate part that would fit in that bottom notch that he could index with an edge finder. A printed model wouldn't really help in my mind. And there is a 3-d rendering on the print.
Do you have a badge for taking too much apart during fixing something, or reassembling in the wrong order, so you have to redo it over and over until it's correct and works?
I'm thinking about how you deal with all the shavings/chips that end up all over the place. I find it difficult to clean in my workshop, and it looks like your cave is not as easy to clean as my workshop. Maybe an upcoming topic to talk about in your videos?
Two of these each? To send to other builders, probably working with different material? Also random mention of space suits? Are these glove connectors?
@@Bris01 I do not know if Adam uses the fixture plate plugs the way I do but I use the color plugs to mark where fixture or vise was mounted so next time I know the location is....

amen to that!

Years ago I was an orchard farmhand, pruning in the winter, now I’m a CNC operator, machining nozz every day.
Not going to lie, I read the title as "Mystery Machine Prop" and got super excited for a Scooby & Savage crossover.
Same
Mystery Busters
Finally, more one day builds. Greatly appreciated.

I love that they keep in every time the camera falls over! Such hospitable beings.
Just proves that you don't have to be perfect every time for every video.

I love how Adam nonchalantly drills a small center into his chuck to index the part.

Am I the only one that finds the clinking and clanking of tooling and parts very relaxing, I wish I could find amsr videos of this particular thing.

The music paired with that lathe segment was hypnotizing. I could watch that all day

I like how he just happens to have a screen accurate Excaliber Sword on his design bench like a nice paperweight. That is Boss level.

It is really nice when doing you job gives you that kind of satisfaction.
Hey Adam. Love the line " I'm parallel to within a few Microns across 3 or 4 inches". I think we must be about the same age and mix metric and Imperial with impunity! In the UK we have far more metric influence than you do but I still can't bring myself to describe things nominally using millimeters. Thanks for the content. Andy
I thought exactly the same. I assume he meant to say a hundred of a mm!
This is one of the greatest tested videos I've seen. Not too much unnecessary music trying to fill the gaps.
Just lots of shots of Adam working, no jump cuts. We just want to see the whole process.
Could not agree more!!!
Excellent soundtrack and Timelapse. Thanks for the amassing work.
Looking forward to the collab with Kyle Hill, sure you two are going to make excellent content as a pair.
They look like the locking rings for a spacesuit/glove interface.
That random mention of space suit gives it away. ;)
Oh no I know exactly what it’s for. It is the Blade Runner 2049 memory machine. You can see it on the work bench of the recent quick change tool holder video that came out.
Didn't he already do the gloves of his spacesuit?
@@JosephReviewsFilm yup, i have mine in parts beside me, immediatley recognised it.
@@badger47-n3c oh that’s so cool! I plan it build one someday one of the best props in the whole movie.
Thanks for not spoiling the surprise in the title! :)
@10:18 what is the elastic band for?
I'm thinking vibration noise dampening.
I was wondering about this too
Pretty sure he was using it to stop the part from screaming/vibrating. Never thought about doing that but next time I run into a part doing that I am def going to try it.
Loved your Collab with G4 with that space suit! it was great to watch!
Hey buddy. Man I feel like you are WAY to comfortable with your hands around that working tool on the mill. That thing eats metal for a living, it wouldn't even know if it got a finger. Keep safe buddy, and keep up the awesome work.
23:30 did he just casually bore into his rotary table chuck to mark a position? :D
28:03 "Lays it all out" Loved the unintended pun.
The music was an amazing touch. 👏
Is this for the Bladerunner 2049 memory maker handheld device? Feel like I saw it in the background once in one of your videos.
It’s a lesser spotted ODB! Of course we’re gonna luv it!
30:16 I had the video going in the background and instinctually exclaimed “hey” in response to Adam as if it was a buddy that just walked into the room. I’m glad Adam also thought his “hey” was comedic 😛
The job of manufacturing chips often results in a part coming out of the lathe.
I like when I am not highly versed in some topic and then I am called upon anyway to be the guy that gets things done.
Hey Tested, have you considered having Adam and Norm build a remote control camera that could be controlled over wifi?

I admire your hands on approach and not just getting an automatic machine to complete these jobs.

Question for your next Q&A: What do you think of the esthetic created in Neil Blomkamp's movies. Personally I love them.
Space is fun, nothing with a space suit obsession, Adam.
What is the device called that has a chuck and a knurled ring at 26:00? Looks useful for fine drilling.
Adam got me again with Alexa, thanks for the soundtrack!
I REALLY hope this is the memory machine from Blade Runner 2049. Definitely a dream prop to own and dream build video to watch!
A question from less than a novice: do you collect all those aluminum scraps and melt them down into an ingot of some kind to reuse?
I think I've guessed it, skip to the 05:10 mark of the "Adam Savage's Favorite Things of 2021" video for the "reveal". If you skip to 20:49, you've gone too far...

At 25:00 I am realizing that I ought be much more respectful of props and their designers. Thank you for the lesson, Adam.
I'm hoping this is for the memory maker I saw on your table. I can't wait to see that video!
Where I work as a CAD drafter I sometimes I have to model metric parts that have to match up to imperial parts.....it can get annoying when it comes time to put all the parts together in the top assembly
I like the epic music choices
The fixture table actually made it harder for you to dial in your indexer, using your mill table is easier since that indexer comes with guides.
Watching this was hypnotizing :)
Adam Savage... Lord of the rings!
Please have Adam make a gaffi stick from Star Wars. It would be an awesome one day build!
Glove to wrist connector?
Is that blood or marking fluid on the rotary table at 22:45?
It looked to be the wrong shade for blood.
That rubber band trick reminds me of the 84mm Carl Gustaf.
Whats your thoughts on the EL400?
I love seeing Adam pause and just.... Process. We've all been there, haha.
Alexa started playing lord of the rings for me.
Same, and I didn’t mind
Dr. Ana Stelline’s memory making device from Blade Runner 2049? Just a guess :)
Is this the Colab with science Thor aka Kyle hill. Can't wait for that drop

Good job on the Alexa call out… my echo right in front of my TV started to play the lord of the rings sound track just when you requested it.
Where do you get a job where you have to build or make parts based of designs either made by you or given to you?
5:20 “They are taking the hobbits-taking the hobbits-taking the hobbits to Isengard.”
Looks like parts of a space suit were the gloves attach to the arm. Reminds me of parts from a weyland spacesuit Alien: Covenant maybe.

Surface plate on a tolley table, nice.
Hey Adam, one day builds!
Is that a new tool post holder on the lathe?
Love the 6 jaw
just throwing this out there. What about a video on sin bars, would go great with yesterdays gage block video,
When Adam told Alexa to play the LOTR soundtrack you missed a supreme opportunity to play "...their taking the hobbits to Isengard, their taking..."
Just imagine a collab between Adam and Matt from DIYPerks.
It looks like the drawings.. wheeee.. lol. Fun!
I'm going to guess (wish) this is a collaboration with This Old Tony.
I'm thinking about how you deal with all the shavings/chips that end up all over the place. I find it difficult to clean in my workshop, and it looks like your cave is not as easy to clean as my workshop. Maybe an upcoming topic to talk about in your videos?

Im surprised Adam hasn't got an electric or air driven chuck key.
Nice job.
Oooo! Is that the sword that you weathered with acid in a previous video?
