Thanks for watching!
Great to see the recognition of kindred spirits when Adam talks to these people. You can see their attitude change and how they open up when they realise 'Oh, this dude understands'.
Often these "guys behind the curtain" are rater shy, but the stories they can tell you are as valuable and interesting as the artifacts themselves. Thanks Smithsonian for lifting that curtain and for everyone else: just talk to your local curators at your museums...they have stories for you.
The ONE person who could possibly tempt Adam Savage with a job offer. :)
I'd be shocked if they haven't approached him before
@@435now Probably just contract him as needed. Just like the current project of the module door
hahahaha
@@MattWeber You mean like they prob did now and in return he asked to do a video for tested?
It was great to see Adam around so many like-minded people, he's really in his element there!
Adam, you should visit the Model workshop of the Sagrada Familia. The whole cathedral is built on models, not blueprints. They have a couple of those gypsum 3D printers. And you should definitively see how they are reconstructing the original models destroyed in the Civil War. It's something to behold.
I went to Mizzou, and the fire they speak of happened in 1892. They still have the original on display indoors with the facsimile on the obelisk outside. Cool to see this process!
One of the best aspects of Adam's personality is that, even though he's a Famous Maker that speaks in front of large crowds that want to hear him talk, whenever he interviews someone like this, he goes into 'learner mode' and asks tons of good questions that make the interviewee look good. And then (and this is hugely important), he LISTENS WELL. I love his enthusiasm and respect of his interview subjects. Not sure if you read these comments, Adam, but thanks for that. Too many well-known people want to keep themselves the center of attention. I really appreciate the fact that you're willing to step aside and let your subject speak. Good on you, sir.
I have a whole new respect for the Smithsonian and its crew after this series of videos.
Look into the theme park modelers at Disney (Imagineers), they have a pretty interesting making job too.
Adam's enthusiasm and genuine curiosity for what these people do and how is so contagious. As someone who was born and raised in DC, this makes me love The Smithsonian museums so much more.
I have a special dream of possessing a 3d printes model of my own skull.
Wouldn't it be amazing to hold your own skull in your hands?
Your comment just game me a existential crisis for a moment.
I, too, have the same dream; To one day physically hold my penis in my hand..one can only dream, I suppose..
This is already a thing. Plastic surgeons routinely do a 3D scan and make a computer model to work out how to achieve a result. This is particularly used in reconstructive surgery for accident victims.
In 2005/6 I had major back problems, so Kingston Hospital in London took two MRI scans of my lower back and made a computer model of my spine. My consultant showed it to me, and it was fascinating seeing the vertebrae and disks (some of which were very badly worn), and also the blood vessels and nerves. You could track up and down, rotate it and zoom in and out.
There is also a great story of an engineer at an R&D lab whose wife developed a brain tumour. He got the scan data from her surgeon, and printed a 3D model of the tunour which the surgeon was able to use to work out how to operate! This is technology which is making a real difference in unexpected places.
You can do it with CT scans for sure. I wonder if you could just ask your doctor for the 3d file...
Ct scans would be the starting point.
A Lil historical background, one of the first numerical-controlled lathe program was created by a master machinist running a lathe while punch paper tape-recorded the movements of the controls, then they replayed the tape. The tape could be copied it was like the master machinist was able to run multiple machines at the same time.
Kurt Vonnegut was working at General Electric at the time and saw an NC milling machine cutting jet engine rotors and heard guys talking about putting little boxes and punch cards on all kinds of machines, from that he got the inspiration for the book Player Piano.
Thanks Adam and Smithsonian masters for showing us this!
This is amazing. My husband and I are from Trinidad and Tobago, and the technology is something not explored at even a fraction of what is possible. My husband has a knack for figuring out and making things and uses his resources to make things for his vehicle and car passion, but I'm the painter and designer. So we work together to bring things into reality from our imaginations, a happy coincidence of our marriage and buying a 3d printer. It's sad that we have no outlet for the true potential of 3d printing where we are but hey, it's just lovely seeing your work Adam, it inspires us to keep doing and making 😊
Who else wants to see the smallest bits in use
I don't think I could handle that. I just about loose my shit trying to thread a needle. 😂
he forgot to mention the very smallest bit that breaks when you look at it.
Did you not hear him? It will break if we look at it.
Here's How they are made, ua-cam.com/video/G55kLhv2d_4/v-deo.html
Christian tnx so much
What a great tour and interview Adam!! Amazing content, keep up the good work
It is so much fun to watch true masters of their trades converse on their favorite subjects.
"If you dropped it, it would just be gone" - Continues to look at Adam, then back to the skull he is holding, thinking…. (Please don't drop it… I just basically told you to put it back on the self… please don't drop it!!!) Then Adam violently shakes it lmao xD
I was literally, just going to type the same basic comment... especially how he was holding it mostly by the fairly small jaw area.
I think she meant that it's very fragile before you treat it with that cyanowharever it was they were discussing.
That is before the final treatment. Also, it's a print, they could print it again.
You're a makers maker Adam! Thanks for all of the content!
Errrr nope, there are better makers but not on video, just look to the builds he makes with a lot of mistakes and misalignment an other defects
Adam is such a fantastic interviewer and these craftspeople are so damn fascinating, it makes for a brilliant video and just reminds me why I subscribe to this channel.
This woman might have the coolest job ever
I think the coolest that would qualify for that is the ones that work in areas below 0°
Adam I love your excitement and knowledge of all maker tech.
One of the best episodes so far.
Comment on the production of this video, great to see the audio is top notch, there have been times where they were so hard to watch, this, perfect.
“Can I come work here?”
(No hesitation)
“Yes.”
🤣
This was a fantastic video. Thank you Carolyn and Chris for taking the time to talk with Adam.
I love watching these tours, it gives me ideas.
Those skulls where dug up from where im at its always cool to hear your home town being called out .... i wouldnt think anyone in the world would know about fredrick unless they live around here
Another great info packed video. You ask all the right questions Adam.👍
"if you can see it". Adam pulls out a tiny flashlight. He's always ready do do work to the point tattooing a ruler on his arm. Amazing.
After this trip to the Smithsonian, are there any new toys you plan on investing in soon?
i get the feeling the last guy was incredibly nervous and fangirling hard xD
not everybody is used to being on camera.
he seemed pretty calm to me
HE UHHH YEAH UHHHH IS DEFINITELY UHHH A GUY WHOS USUALLY BEHIND THE UHHH CAMERA
He's obviously been at this job for a long time... he implied they got the first CNC machine because of him ("shortly after I arrived"). He's just in geek heaven and enjoying the opportunity to show Adam and Adam's viewers what he does and the tools he uses. Yes, he likes Adam, but he LOVES his job and everything in his workshop. Not very many people are this lucky in life.
@@Chris_the_Muso oh, no dout :) especially at the end, he seems about ready to burst from excitement. it was actually kind of nice to see :)
I felt the love of model making....a grand breed 😉😊
Glad everyone at tested is giving these wonderful people some lime light.
Adam you are awesome! Keep up the great videos!
What a dream workshop! Amazing stuff!
12:46 Adam must feel right at home with that giant can of activator on the table. :) Carolyn and Adam are definitely kindred spirits.
This is the coolest thing I've seen on UA-cam in a really long time. I sincerely hope Adam ends up here. I feel like him taking his vast knowledge and experience to the Smithsonian to help preserve our nations and world's history would be a great service to humankind.
These artisans, engineers and creators of educational artifacts remind me that there's still intelligence, curiosity and an unwavering belief in science in Washington, D.C.
Wow. Thank you for giving this tour. So much as lost oh, and I hope it is being passed on.
A great video. And with Adam Savage with his child like wonder, I enjoyed it. I have a similar type myself so life is always interesting.
0:30 "behind me is" NO !! THERE IS THAT BRIDGEPORT ! ;)
Adam place contact links for guests speakers.
Carolyn could answer questions like "Can the Smithsonian 3D print batteries?"
"Cutting metal and making chips" High Five!
I love the mini museum cabinet behind the Smithsonian museums. I which this was open to public, I would certainly pay to tour their facility.
18:56 is that a product placement ad for Richeson Best Easels?
Is your comment a product placement ad for Richeson Best Easels?
@@garethjones7182 :)
They should put their model files-ALL their model files-up online. Right now they have something like 122 models up, most of which are from 2013. That's just sad. I know Adam has partnered with them to get the Apollo stuff up; maybe he can use his influence to help the maker and research communities even more.
I just realised that I never saw Adam being clumsy or drop anything on accident, although he holds everything so casual, I would be scared shitless when she said if that skull would fall down it would shatter.
I've worked in Aerospace and the Automotive Aftermarket for 12.5 years, the last 8 of which have been focused on scanning and reverse engineering. I would love to get the opportunity to do stuff like this!
That was awesome, my main experience on the "tools" was making blank gold coins in the Perth mint, nothing to the depth of knowledge and experience as you guys but using the various presses you can become one with your metal. Now stepping into the 3D world, thanks guys
That lady wanted to show her giant squid eye to Adam. LMAO
Great vid, though I'd hoped to see a model I'd downloaded and printed from the Smithsonian. No luck, but since I'm new to it I don't have many samples to choose from.
If I could like this video 100 times I would :-)
She was nervous about Adam holding those skulls lol
I just found my dream workshop.
I can’t get over Adams Omega Speedmaster, I absolutely love that watch and the history with it. It would be awesome if Adam could link up with Omega for a video.
The jacket is awesome! Where did you get it ?
Custom made. But in some video he told who is the maker.
Kovacs Company I believe, they're expensive but incredibly accurate.
Similar to Alpha MA-1 flight jacket www.alphaindustries.com/mens-flight-bomber-jackets-alpha-ma-1-flight-jacket
Great video! I know it's not really science related but I really want to see their pair of Ruby Slippers!
Can Adam just live in the Smithsonian and just constantly make videos?? :D
Adam gets the best view of all places again. Thank you Tested for sharing yet again an amazing tour.
this is so amazing!
how many of you were expecting Adam to start juggling when he had three little skulls in his hands at the same time?
I don't know if you can see it...
Adam: Boom Flashlight :)
Lol no kidding he's always ready. Did you notice the pencils in his upper sleeve pocket?
Adam, i was just looking at Hollywood Collectables Group, and they have a Blade Runner blaster... just wondering what you thought of how authentic it looked. Can you give it a look and let me know. I am thinking about purchasing one. Thanks
I wonder if there is a tool that went straight from the workshop to an exhibition? 🧐
I have a few walrus tusk on my wall.
Have one 3 foot piece of Mammoth tusk as well I found near Delta Junction, Alaska.
this part has been my favourite so far, working there must be so much fun
Bitty
Interesting and amazing, Adam and Chris could probably talk for hours about the things they are passionate about 😄
I work in a shop and we have the same CNC machine.
Holly shit she need to be working with bio chemists or or bio mechanical engineers or something.
What could someone like this do with a government contract?
:D
2:08 *OSHA wants to know your location*
Have you ever expanded the build base of a 3d printer...?
I hope dude didn't have anything to do with designing that Black & Decker leaf blower/shredder. That thing was a POS. It literally burned up on me 30 seconds out of the box. Thankfully it was free.
Oh, Damn, Adam! a geek in geekland! your warehouse is no slouch but .......! For the first week it would be "What new whizz bang is this?" If the film biz ever treats you badly, you know where home is! Went to the Smithsonian as a child; it took my dad three days before he could haul me out- I wasn't through, but worn to a frazzle from running from one exhibit to the next!
Ok I've asked this on another Smithsonian Tested video but haven't found out yet. Does anyone know what make and model of flashlight Adam is using here?
I had a friend 8 years ago or so who went to auctions around ISU. There are two other colleges around that area, and these auctions had all kinds of retired equipment. He saved a giant hulking machine from the scrappers, low and behold it was a fully functional, industrial sized, gypsum printer. Bought it for $150. He sold it to someone in Fl for 20x that, but I still wish I bought it from him.
how the hell can they mill with a human hair size endbit?
very carefully..
feeds and speeds, just like any other job
Model making. Is that what you call the techniques I tried to do well in my Museum classes at the University of Iowa? Wow. No 3D printers back in the early 80's. It's interesting to see the materials and techniques that have become available since then.
7:56
"He showed me his giant squid eye"...
I have a dirty mind...
I don't apologize for it, though. :-D
Damn, what cool jobs those must be.
Did you ask where all the giant human bones are, Adam?
If we can't see them, maybe that can just give us prints to look at. ; )
3d printing. rapid prototyping enormous time savings. Probably in there with the big inventions like wheel, books ect.
I have absolutely no knowledge about the stuff they are talking about, but I really enjoy watching this.
I want to work here. Adam stole my job though, apparently.
That jacket is bomber sir
Using the force ? OK
If you are playing the drink when someone says "ahh" game, RIP
Your the best
Lucky happy hubby 🤤
Holy snacks I want several different 3D printers now.
Screw that I want the old lathe and the Bridgeport
Is infiltrate a politically correct way of saying impregnate?
Crackle crackle
If Adam would have been single, after this, he would not be.
hope many people will support these kind of projects & institutions
fierce nasa jacket
This is SUPER fascinating!
I LOVE 3D PRINTING!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! SOOO COOL WITH THE SKULL!!
Savage Spaces: new show on Discovery?
Perfect for the blind. M
Coolest chick ever!
