Adam,Awesome work as always. 2 things, an old Luther's trick that would work to fith the trigger guard to the bottom of the receiver, would be to double stick tape sandpaper to the receiver then sand the trigger guard directly onto the receiver. Second, look into a vortex cold air gun, you can use it to cool stuff that you are cutting and machining when coolant is not possible, you can get one and moke it from machine to machine.
I want to make a dwarf based on that philosophy for D&D or something similar in a steampunk universe. It's been rattling around for a few weeks and everytime the dwarf sees anyone bothering to be incredibly precise laughs and scoffs at the unnecessary effort. And now thanks to you they may have a motto XD
My dad, who enjoyed math, electronics, and his little basement shop of tools, would have loved these videos. He died of cancer 17 years ago, and each time I watch one of these, I get to spend some time with him. Thanks, Adam. He would have been fond of your method, as well as your demeanor and wandering away from the camera.
I think the best part of watching Adam work through his projects is this: We come here to watch a talented, passionate, and very experienced maker. It comes with this expectation of, "This guy knows what he's doing.", and yet, his humility is inspiring. Even Adam is still learning and exploring, failing and succeeding, making and remaking as he moves through these projects. I've learned to break things down into smaller shapes and tasks to understand them, and to be entirely accepting, even welcoming of failure, provided I keep moving towards my goal. Thanks Adam. It's wonderful to have a person like you as an example for people like us.
Loving this build series. It's so satisfying and inspiring to see someone hone their craft for the sheer sake of improving! It's also a testament to how placing your attention on something creative can help one overcome personal issues in a productive way. I know Adam went into this after hearing the news regarding Grant, but now I like to think that he will look at this prop with fondness. What a way to turn something tragic into something you can cherish forever, whilst gaining new skills along the way! Great work as always!
@@kenhollywood4990 long standing friend and colleague of Adam’s. Worked along side Adam at ILM and then later on Mythbusters. Exceptional robotics engineer and an inspiration to many. Sadly passed away this year.

Awesome Adam, love this project!! I was wondering if you’re planning on finishing Hellboy’s hand after this one 😁 thanks for sharing all your knowledge
Don't say it like that. There are butt loads of people who appreciate genuine precision, and all of them depended their lives on that. Like gun owners. No gun owner wants to fire a gun with a gap a few mm wide in critical parts...
'Think like a model maker' Teacher: "so why would we do this" Me: "cause I'm lazy" Teacher: "you'll go far" If I've learned nothing else, its that often times a solution is the shortest line between 2 points. Why does the sight have a 1 inch radius, cause that bit was already in the mill lol Omg, I can't explain my reaction to the barrel clicking. Just glee.
That falls in line with something Bill Gates said when asked who he likes to hire. ''I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.''
@@crimsonvampyre602 the magnets are behind this aluminium plate, but one wasn't glued down properly. So one got loose, but still stuck behind the plate, so as it spins the one magnet is rattling inside of there.
@@matthewb8229 It's funny when you run into a lazy person who lives by that methodology but they aren't anywhere near smart enough to pull it off or they just think they're far smarter than they are. So you have to be a bit careful with that sword, as it often has a much rougher edge than it appears. I work with a guy who tries to find some personally supposed 'lazy' shortcut to everything and in the end it always ends up being some overly convoluted way of going about things where you want to ask him why, but you're too dazed by the logic that would make him think it's actually quicker or in any way easier the way he chooses to do it. One of his more recent ones is where, instead of just dragging and dropping one of our standalone installers to the user's PC and installing it, he has the files on his personal OneDrive and he adds them to it so it copies over. Then he manually gives them admin rights to install it themselves and walks them through each step of that as well as how to get into it and set it up. Meanwhile the rest of us just copy the files over, install and configure it ourselves, and gave the user's the thumbs up that it's all set. I won't go into details as 'TLDR', but to most IT people I think it would be clear why what he's doing is a lot more work and far more tedious than just doing it 'normal'. Though to be clear, he's such an obnoxious stubborn ass there's no point in trying to explain it to him even if he would listen - which to be clear he's shown in the past that he won't, so we aren't just setting him up or anything. Hell, he almost got himself fired at least a dozen times already (really not sure how he's survived tbh)...one of which was for something as stupid as being because he won't use the proper remote tools and has caused some serious issues for some high up people as a result.
for the rotation of the cylinder, could have built a ball detent into the upper rail assembly, trapping the ball detent between the cylinder and the rail. that would hold the cylinder in place, until of course you apply enough force to overcome the spring, it would have had a more sturdy hold on the cylinder(magnets have a lot of slop when they rotate around), and you would get that awesome click sound as well! Awesome build, all the same, I love this series!
Effing awesome. The surprise ending was a treat to see happen - Everyone that watches this will wish they could just spin that barrel for a while. Wow, is that satisfying!
I always love Adam's attention to detail. I'm really curious now what it looks like for a prop like this to be made, as if it were on a real set. For example: instead of getting the trigger guard perfectly centered, winging it to get it close enough for the screen. Adam, would you be willing to do a one day build, where you instead focus on getting it screen ready instead of accurate? I would love to see where the corners can be cut, and where your expertise shows you that you can skip steps because they don't matter. With all your work, and especially everything you have posted to this channel, I can see love getting things to *feel* right, which I absolutely love and is what keeps inspiring me. I would just also appreciate a peek under the hood of "showbiz" model making, where the look is more important than the function. If it is not something you would enjoy doing, then please ignore this :D More than anything, I would love to hear more stories and learn more from your experience.
These videos inspire me a lot. I often get discouraged from my projects cause I get so worried about making a mistake or “wasting time” that I forget in every mistake there’s a lesson. Love these videos. Thanks Adam for encouraging me to pursue engineering growing up watching Mythbusters and now to pursue being a Maker as a hobby.
I saw the start of this video a week ago or so on part one and I wanted to adress some things you said and I realized some people brought it up already on the comments but wanted to still post something because after watching your work since mythbusters on the early 2000's I have followed anything you are involved in so ofcourse that means I watch every single episode of mythbusters so when the News of grant came out as loyal fans we cried and said wow how unfare of life. At the time I had my own grief and one of the things I did was grab some minituare boards game I had and started to buy hundreads of dollars in paint and tools and watch videos and paint them on my free time to not have free time to let my mind wonder. To see you mention on the past video that this helped you immerse urself in something to help with the grief made me want to say thank you for bringing it up because some one will watch this video or the first one and use it as inspiration to dig deep with whatever hobby or work they want to do. Your attitude and personality makes a lot of us always wish you the best and support you unconditionally as fans.
I just want to say that your discovery of the loose magnet and subsequent awesome "clicky" sound, was amazing. I have not felt that joy for a few months, for obvious reasons. I genuinely want to thank you. I hope this doesn't hurt you in anyway, but I have to tell you that it reminded me deeply of Grant's genuine excitement when a build would start coming together. Thank you Adam. I'm not quite at metallurgy but I am re-dedicated to my scrimshaw, cow bone not whale, project. Love you man.
Mr.Savage. I have been a fan since first seeing you on myth busters. and in witnessing your skill/ art/ humor/ imagination i have always been inspired. but to be total transparent, lately in addition i have found your videos/ posts to be a bubble of peace "mentality". removing me from this crazy world for brief moment, and for that one soul to another i thank you. 🤜🤛🙏🙏🙏
@@tonyk421 My air compressor used to walk around all the damn time - the rubber feet on it were way too hard to grip the floor properly so I ended up putting locks on the back wheels so that it doesn't run out of the shop every time I use it :)
I’m absolutely loving this build. It’s clear that you got a lot of therapy out of digging your claws into something this complex. What a great way to honor Grant’s memory. 🙏🙏
I love Adam Savage. His thirst for knowledge is only overshadowed by his enthusiasm. Thank you Adam, for being who you are and letting us experience a glimpse in your nerding out through this virtual platform.
#1 thing I've learned watching Adam Savage over the years is how useful marking fluid is and can be, and he didn't even use it much on this build (at least on camera)
It's really a bit of a bummer he didn't just take it all the way and make the gun fully functional, out of steel and everything. Even if he can't make/source ammo for it, that would have been so sweet.
Something random I tend to remember when making a prop vs a replica. When you make a prop you make something, with a replica you make a thing. Props can be whatever they are, replicas are trying to recreate a specific object. Making a replica is harder to make
Yes! Another odb! These videos seriously keep me alive lol 😆 I can just tune out of all the problems and work and it's very meditative! I honestly mean the " keeps me alive " part... so many family members and recently my bestfriend are struggling with mental health issues and I do my best to help, 161 heart rate is an average for me.. I'm 25 and I was healthy before I quit eating and sleeping lol my heart rate is only normal when I watch this channel. Anyone who has any recommendations on channels like this please send! I never slept with a TV or anything but I tried on a lego build video from Adam and I fell asleep and got almost 5 hrs! So thankful!
Editing team, could you mind the levels a bit more, especially with Adam talking away from the mike a lot the music really blasts in the room when I’m watching on the big tv, have to crank the volume up for the talking parts, then down again for the music 🤫
I genuinely enjoyed this one. Adam’s enthusiasm with his progress was so honest and real. It was truly refreshing to see a professional maker act just as geek as we all do at home. Looking great. Wish there was more to watch.
it's likely just stock music. Try searching on apmmusic or firstcom. be warned though. as a video editor, i can tell you stock music websites are full of tons of trash you'll never get out of your head
@@lobelliot Yeah I am pretty sure it's stock music. I was hoping that Adam or whoever does the uploading of the videos and managing of the channel would read my comment and give us the information. Sure in the case of stock music it is always a question of the money and whether you want to spend the money for that. I did it for another stock music track so who knows. Let's see if my comment gets enough love and attention from someone who knows the song :)
I can’t remember how the grip in the film was configured. But having been around firearms my entire life, of the hundreds of revolvers I’ve handled, only two had a slide on grip. With revolvers, usually the grip is in two halves that sort of sandwich the frame. Because the main spring lies within the frame between the front strap & back strap… and occasionally that spring has to be maintained Cleaning, oiling, sometimes even replacing. Plus it’d make the manufacture of the grip a lot easier I would imagine. At any rate, that thing looks FANTASTIC! It looks as if it would actually fire, and a handgun that size would knock me into the next county I would think. 🤣 Beautiful workmanship & I cannot thank you enough for sharing this project with the world. Much respect, Adam. 👍🏼
Dude if Adam made a masterclass in propmaking where you learn techniques through making different simpler props that you dont need complex tools for, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
when Adam pulled out that calculator, all i could hear were the ghost voices of all my previous math teachers saying "you won't always have a calculator with you everyday in the real world".....and a tinge of horror crept up my spine as i sat in silence trying desperately to solve equations without a calculator or counting on my fingers those many years ago.
Yeah if I don't have a calculator then guess who's not doing math that day. A fringe benefit of being a teacher is they don't have to live in the real world.
@@AbrahamArthemius years ago I worked in a machine shop and I brought a little credit card sized simple calculator to work with me that I bought at a drug store for $2. One guy was using his brown paper lunch bag to add and subtract on. So I'd lend him my calculator. It revolutionized the industry there. Their minds would have been blown if I had a scientific calculator. But just that disposable I had was still amazing to them. Now I'm wondering whatever happened to that thing. I think once the battery in it died I threw it away. But it did last for years.
@@1pcfred Even some machine tool DROs have a simple calculator on them now. And you can get apps for phones that do all the speeds/feeds calculations for you.
@@No1sonuk I would like to get a DRO for my mill someday. They're like cheating. I have a chart I made to do speed calculations. It gets me in the ballpark. X has diameters and Y surface speed. The intersection shows RPM.
When I was a kid, me and my best friend was watching Mythbusters and learning a lot. I'm so happy to see that you are making your own show here on UA-cam Adam, I can still learn more and it's like seeing and old friend again. I became a metal worker, mechanic and now I'm in school becoming an machine engineer. I just want to say thank you for being an inspiration for so many years. I think that when you made your own show you got to do even more, it's good to challenge yourself and to learn new things. Keep up the good work.👍🏻
Your energy and excitement during this build has been very addictive. I feel the joy you get from all the achievements you have accomplished and your machining skills have levelled up big time. Great work Adam.
I love this for so many reasons. Love the topic, the build and the machining. My grandfather was a machinist and owned a machining business in Southern California (Falcon Products). He did a lot of work for the major airline companies of the day (60’s & 70’s), Boeing being just one of them. I was just 7 years old but the memory of the smell of machinists oil to this day makes me smile. I was just a kid unfortunately in those days but I would give anything to have been a little older to learn the craft.

you wach a lot of AvE videos, and comes here... adam: "Focus, thank ou!" Ave: "focus, you F***"
The craftsman in me loves seeing the enthusiasm Mr Savage has in all of his builds. The gunsmith in me wants to strangle Mr Savage for not making a revolver "correctly". I know, it's not a real gun, but my tears were real. I don't know what took YT so long to suggest this channel, but I'm glad it finally did.
Love this series, but please one request to the editors, when the music goes on over the time lapses it's about 2x the volume of Adam. If you're wearing headphones the video is unwatchable. Sort of annoying even on speakers. Other than that I'm loving it.
I'm really enjoying watching this series. One of the things that makes it so much fun is watching your JOY at how things go together. Even your accidental ratcheting sound of the cylinder spinning.
Him and Alec Steele need to do a project together. I feel like they could learn a lot from each other. And they both bring the same kinda of enthusiastic energy to their craft. (Be super funny too😂) love you Adam, been a fan for a long time
Your build videos have been especially valuable for me during this long stretch of working from home. It's almost like being in a studio, overhearing the patter nearby - been really missing that vibe this year. Thanks for chilling with us.
Hey Adam, your back is starting to concern me. After watching you on TV and the Tube for years, you are getting a noticeable "hunch" to the way you stand/work. I hope you have been addressing this with a medical professional, we all want to see you bringing us awesomeness for many more years! Please take care.
Funny... I just asked myself... "If i saw the screen used Samaritan in a museum beside the Adam Savage Samaritan, which would i be more excited to see?" Without hesitation, i know I'd be more excited to see Adam's!
Ever noticed that the trigger guard looks like an Omega like in Rev 22:13 "the Alpha and the Omega"? ;-) Any Alpha anywhere else on the weapon? :-) Edit: Dude , I am going totally bible code on you right now ;-) 22:13 is almost the exact moment in the video where Adam shows the finished trigger guard into the camera ;-)
That was a very satisfying journey AGAIN! That click you discovered was just the best accident ever. I love how you cannot stop playing with the latching mechanism - you better believe we would all be the same!
One thing I find hilarious with any prop making is just how much time, effort, skill, planning, and whatever else goes into something that the original maker just threw together and said "That looks cool." Like Luke's lightsaber when Star Wars first was made. The team probably thought "We have a broken handle to a Graflex. What can we add to it to make it a laser sword?" Now Graflex handles are very hard to find because fans. Just goes to show how far a little ingenuity will be appreciated by people, years (and even decades) later.
Sound is one of the biggest contributors to making something feel real but the clicking of the cylinder combine with the clack of the latch makes it feel somehow more real than it already is.
It needs a hand-tooled leather holster... I look so forward to seeing THAT! Adam... This is AMAZING! This is why I joined this channel! Thanks for this!
I'm currently working on my own project what is a Mad Max ish costume in very realistic way and when i saw how's Adam making The Samaritan...OMG I need to make some kind of Max's shotgun like this! :D
@@No1sonuk Maybe yes, but this is not the same level of fun to me :D I really like making stuff so make a shotgun similar to Max's weapon will be a great pleasure :D
ADAM!!!! You are super talented and one of my favorite people on earth. I’ve fallowed you’re career since your very first appearance on television. And if I could give a single piece of advice that’s helped me… You should really take a few blue printing classes. Machinists blueprint classes. Even at some cheap night school. It would do wonders for your work and understanding/comprehension. I know it’s hard to just take a simple night class when you’re famous or whatever… But if you have course material you’re following… You’ll learn much more than trying to teach yourself online. I’ve always had manual machines and CNc’s in my life, i’ve always worked with heavy machinery making my own things since I was a kid in my dad’s shop.... and after more than a decade in business for myself with several years of back ordered client lists… I thought I knew what I was doing. BUT once I took a REAL MACHINISTS blueprinting class or two, or four… It helped me more than anything. And what goes hand-in-hand with interpreting blueprints and is most important… Is “order of operations“. try to work with some retired and grumpy old school machinists who can teach you order of operations in regards to the plan your working from. Being a machinist is just like anything else. There are classic methods and ways to be “classically trained.” Just like chefs, symphony players/professional musicians, and professional oil painters. There’s a “classical“ way to approach things. Those 1950s and 60s “classical” machinists will work circles around modern day “professionals“.
Adam talking about making things look good but not necessarily functional was interesting to me since I think I'm the opposite, I'm no good at making pretty things but I sure can make em' work! But that's why I love watching him work, I learn so much about that other side of making and I become the more rounded craftsman for it.
Your commitment and drive to create something you love is truly astounding, your excitement and joy is fantastic to see. You've put your all into making something with a level of precision that perfectly fits together to make a beautiful piece. All challenges you solved and the accidents made have given you new knowledge, especially the oh so rewarding clicky spin. The passion born from these circumstances really shines through here, I can only imagine how smooth and satisfying everything must feel to the touch. I cant wait to see the next part of this. You really nailed it man, down to the nearest thou
I can tell you from experience, learning to use the mill is no joke it looks complicated and probably was . Excellent job Adam. As always...... rip grant. I watched all your shows .

Well many of mankinds greatest inventions for the normal person were like accidents XD. Stuff like the stickynote for instance. XD.
So few people can appreciate genuine precision. Excellent work.

I saw the start of this video a week ago or so on part one and I wanted to adress some things you said and I realized some people brought it up already on the comments but wanted to still post something because after watching your work since mythbusters on the early 2000's I have followed anything you are involved in so ofcourse that means I watch every single episode of mythbusters so when the News of grant came out as loyal fans we cried and said wow how unfare of life. At the time I had my own grief and one of the things I did was grab some minituare boards game I had and started to buy hundreads of dollars in paint and tools and watch videos and paint them on my free time to not have free time to let my mind wonder. To see you mention on the past video that this helped you immerse urself in something to help with the grief made me want to say thank you for bringing it up because some one will watch this video or the first one and use it as inspiration to dig deep with whatever hobby or work they want to do. Your attitude and personality makes a lot of us always wish you the best and support you unconditionally as fans.
12:05 anyone else catch Burrs line from the dual in Hamilton. That made me so happy! Take care of yourself Adam we love you!
That triggered a "wait a minute..." in me, but I had no idea from where. Thanks for telling us.
The joy when you get the click from the magnet falling out, it put a huge smile on my face. Thank you!
I would have to loved to see the actual build of the lever that unlatches barrel and how that whole part of the gun works
I just want to say that your discovery of the loose magnet and subsequent awesome "clicky" sound, was amazing. I have not felt that joy for a few months, for obvious reasons. I genuinely want to thank you. I hope this doesn't hurt you in anyway, but I have to tell you that it reminded me deeply of Grant's genuine excitement when a build would start coming together. Thank you Adam. I'm not quite at metallurgy but I am re-dedicated to my scrimshaw, cow bone not whale, project. Love you man.
Mr.Savage. I have been a fan since first seeing you on myth busters. and in witnessing your skill/ art/ humor/ imagination i have always been inspired. but to be total transparent, lately in addition i have found your videos/ posts to be a bubble of peace "mentality". removing me from this crazy world for brief moment, and for that one soul to another i thank you. 🤜🤛🙏🙏🙏
22:00 slowly chasing the spindle sander across the workshop :D
Wheel locks needed asap.
@@tonyk421 My air compressor used to walk around all the damn time - the rubber feet on it were way too hard to grip the floor properly so I ended up putting locks on the back wheels so that it doesn't run out of the shop every time I use it :)
i noticed and was laughing about it!
Clickspring would do aaaaall this, with a file :p seriously the level of precision scares me on this one!
out of all solid brass too. man that would be a beauty.
I'd love to see Clicksprings version of this.
@@colinstu $$$$
@Jesse James Yeah, been a year now since the last I think. Hope he is ok.
@@LaserGadgets He still uploads short clips on his second channel. I believe he's writing a research paper on the project he's working on. He's fine!!
I’m absolutely loving this build. It’s clear that you got a lot of therapy out of digging your claws into something this complex. What a great way to honor Grant’s memory. 🙏🙏
Has anyone else noticed that you can always tell JUST HOW HAPPY AND PROUD Adam is of the project just by the video thumbnail? 🤣
I love Adam Savage.
His thirst for knowledge is only overshadowed by his enthusiasm.
Thank you Adam, for being who you are and letting us experience a glimpse in your nerding out through this virtual platform.
Would love to see Ron Perlman come in at the end of this build and give his thoughts.
It's 2020
Make sure he washes his hands first.
Idk. Ron’s thoughts these days are pretty whacked out
#1 thing I've learned watching Adam Savage over the years is how useful marking fluid is and can be, and he didn't even use it much on this build (at least on camera)
Love this gun. Would love to see “Big Baby “ the super sized version.
You know Adam will do it....and I'll feel bad....but I'd love it
It's really a bit of a bummer he didn't just take it all the way and make the gun fully functional, out of steel and everything. Even if he can't make/source ammo for it, that would have been so sweet.
@@hellcatdave1, yah but Laws and all.😣
He already has a replica prop of Big Baby, not sure if it's detailed on the same level as this build though.
@@hellcatdave1 building a gun that shoot adds twice the complexity to the build
That Hamilton reference was absolute gold. Thank you Adam for being you. Made a great project even greater.
Something random I tend to remember when making a prop vs a replica. When you make a prop you make something, with a replica you make a thing. Props can be whatever they are, replicas are trying to recreate a specific object. Making a replica is harder to make
Heck, as someone who likes to draw fantasy art, drawing the same character twice is hard, and that's when they're my own characters!
Yes! Another odb! These videos seriously keep me alive lol 😆 I can just tune out of all the problems and work and it's very meditative! I honestly mean the " keeps me alive " part... so many family members and recently my bestfriend are struggling with mental health issues and I do my best to help, 161 heart rate is an average for me.. I'm 25 and I was healthy before I quit eating and sleeping lol my heart rate is only normal when I watch this channel. Anyone who has any recommendations on channels like this please send! I never slept with a TV or anything but I tried on a lego build video from Adam and I fell asleep and got almost 5 hrs! So thankful!
Editing team, could you mind the levels a bit more, especially with Adam talking away from the mike a lot the music really blasts in the room when I’m watching on the big tv, have to crank the volume up for the talking parts, then down again for the music 🤫
I genuinely enjoyed this one. Adam’s enthusiasm with his progress was so honest and real. It was truly refreshing to see a professional maker act just as geek as we all do at home. Looking great. Wish there was more to watch.
What's the song that starts at 8:26? I love this kind of ambient, downtempo music. Shazam unfortunately didn't recognize it.
I used 'BlackHole' (Mac) to record it from the video. Couldn't find an answer anywhere in the comments
Damn, I want to know too! Can we all band together to find the answer? 😁
it's likely just stock music. Try searching on apmmusic or firstcom. be warned though. as a video editor, i can tell you stock music websites are full of tons of trash you'll never get out of your head
@@lobelliot Yeah I am pretty sure it's stock music. I was hoping that Adam or whoever does the uploading of the videos and managing of the channel would read my comment and give us the information. Sure in the case of stock music it is always a question of the money and whether you want to spend the money for that. I did it for another stock music track so who knows. Let's see if my comment gets enough love and attention from someone who knows the song :)
@@sebastianzander87 I tweeted the editor and asked him. lol
You should build "the colt" from supernatural next ! That would be super cool adam! Love the channel keep up the great work man!
Wow, this is a really fun build. Without weathering, that piece looks like it should fire Toon bullets down in Toon Town.
I can’t remember how the grip in the film was configured. But having been around firearms my entire life, of the hundreds of revolvers I’ve handled, only two had a slide on grip. With revolvers, usually the grip is in two halves that sort of sandwich the frame. Because the main spring lies within the frame between the front strap & back strap… and occasionally that spring has to be maintained Cleaning, oiling, sometimes even replacing. Plus it’d make the manufacture of the grip a lot easier I would imagine.
At any rate, that thing looks FANTASTIC! It looks as if it would actually fire, and a handgun that size would knock me into the next county I would think. 🤣
Beautiful workmanship & I cannot thank you enough for sharing this project with the world. Much respect, Adam. 👍🏼
You should try to replicate Mando’s pulse rifle from the Mandalorian since the new seasons coming out in a few weeks
Dude if Adam made a masterclass in propmaking where you learn techniques through making different simpler props that you dont need complex tools for, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
when Adam pulled out that calculator, all i could hear were the ghost voices of all my previous math teachers saying "you won't always have a calculator with you everyday in the real world".....and a tinge of horror crept up my spine as i sat in silence trying desperately to solve equations without a calculator or counting on my fingers those many years ago.
Yeah if I don't have a calculator then guess who's not doing math that day. A fringe benefit of being a teacher is they don't have to live in the real world.
..and now with the arrival of smartphones (or even just regular cellphones years ago) makes a calculator even more reachable than ever.
@@AbrahamArthemius years ago I worked in a machine shop and I brought a little credit card sized simple calculator to work with me that I bought at a drug store for $2. One guy was using his brown paper lunch bag to add and subtract on. So I'd lend him my calculator. It revolutionized the industry there. Their minds would have been blown if I had a scientific calculator. But just that disposable I had was still amazing to them. Now I'm wondering whatever happened to that thing. I think once the battery in it died I threw it away. But it did last for years.
@@1pcfred Even some machine tool DROs have a simple calculator on them now.
And you can get apps for phones that do all the speeds/feeds calculations for you.
@@No1sonuk I would like to get a DRO for my mill someday. They're like cheating. I have a chart I made to do speed calculations. It gets me in the ballpark. X has diameters and Y surface speed. The intersection shows RPM.
OMG I LOVE THAT RINGING SOUND THAT ALUMINUM MADE WHEN OPEN AND SHUT THE GUN! SO SATISFYING!
When I was a kid, me and my best friend was watching Mythbusters and learning a lot.
I'm so happy to see that you are making your own show here on UA-cam Adam, I can still learn more and it's like seeing and old friend again.
I became a metal worker, mechanic and now I'm in school becoming an machine engineer.
I just want to say thank you for being an inspiration for so many years.
I think that when you made your own show you got to do even more, it's good to challenge yourself and to learn new things.
Keep up the good work.👍🏻
As Bob Ross would say: the magnet is not loose it it a happy accident
Your energy and excitement during this build has been very addictive. I feel the joy you get from all the achievements you have accomplished and your machining skills have levelled up big time. Great work Adam.
Oh man, no details on the actual fitment of the top strap, and the plunger mechanism to lock it in place.
I love this for so many reasons. Love the topic, the build and the machining. My grandfather was a machinist and owned a machining business in Southern California (Falcon Products). He did a lot of work for the major airline companies of the day (60’s & 70’s), Boeing being just one of them. I was just 7 years old but the memory of the smell of machinists oil to this day makes me smile. I was just a kid unfortunately in those days but I would give anything to have been a little older to learn the craft.
you wach a lot of AvE videos, and comes here...
adam: "Focus, thank ou!" Ave: "focus, you F***"
My favourite part about AvE videos is waiting for that to (inevitably) be said. It's hilarious.
I swear I was waiting for Adam to say it lol. I even heard it in my head lol
This is gunsmithing. The manufacture and fitting of parts to such a good fit is a fading art in the mainstream. Totally awesome to watch.
23:53 all I ever hear when you use that background song is the Good Eats theme
The craftsman in me loves seeing the enthusiasm Mr Savage has in all of his builds.
The gunsmith in me wants to strangle Mr Savage for not making a revolver "correctly". I know, it's not a real gun, but my tears were real.
I don't know what took YT so long to suggest this channel, but I'm glad it finally did.
That’s it. I’m watching hellboy tonight
There's something wonderful to the texture of the phrases "hog out" and "hogging out". Definitely more than the sum of their parts.
Love this series, but please one request to the editors, when the music goes on over the time lapses it's about 2x the volume of Adam. If you're wearing headphones the video is unwatchable. Sort of annoying even on speakers. Other than that I'm loving it.
That gun is pure satisfaction. It looks amazing, the satisfying clicky noises, it opens and closes beautifully and the magnet thing is just perfect.
You can machine that HSS Endmill on a Lathe with Carbide Inserts. No need to make an entire Holder.
I never leave comments, but this build and specifically this video are beyond amazing. Kudos Adam!
I keep wondering what's more fun for Adam: Replicating an existing prop or creating a screen-used hero prop.
I'm really enjoying watching this series. One of the things that makes it so much fun is watching your JOY at how things go together. Even your accidental ratcheting sound of the cylinder spinning.
Give a "Thumbs Up 👍" for the unsung hero's of great UA-cam videos - The Editors
🙏
Him and Alec Steele need to do a project together. I feel like they could learn a lot from each other. And they both bring the same kinda of enthusiastic energy to their craft. (Be super funny too😂) love you Adam, been a fan for a long time
Everything in that cave is labeled in marker/paint pen, whatever....including the "LAMP" on the milling machine...lol.
Your build videos have been especially valuable for me during this long stretch of working from home. It's almost like being in a studio, overhearing the patter nearby - been really missing that vibe this year. Thanks for chilling with us.
"The original gun was built in millimetres" Good to know they did originally use the proper system of measurement!
I am absolutely loving this series so far. That serendipitous clicking effect, omg...
Hey Adam, your back is starting to concern me. After watching you on TV and the Tube for years, you are getting a noticeable "hunch" to the way you stand/work. I hope you have been addressing this with a medical professional, we all want to see you bringing us awesomeness for many more years!
Please take care.
Funny... I just asked myself... "If i saw the screen used Samaritan in a museum beside the Adam Savage Samaritan, which would i be more excited to see?"
Without hesitation, i know I'd be more excited to see Adam's!
Ever noticed that the trigger guard looks like an Omega like in Rev 22:13 "the Alpha and the Omega"? ;-)
Any Alpha anywhere else on the weapon? :-)
Edit: Dude , I am going totally bible code on you right now ;-) 22:13 is almost the exact moment in the video where
Adam shows the finished trigger guard into the camera ;-)
Careful you almost wrote a dan brown book
14:50 - Adams laugh is the most pure and childish laugh ever. Keep up the amazing work Adam, this world is a better place with you in it!
Adam is showing us what is the true excellent & sophisticated craftsmanship is!
That was a very satisfying journey AGAIN!
That click you discovered was just the best accident ever. I love how you cannot stop playing with the latching mechanism - you better believe we would all be the same!
Ugh, that magnet ratchet spin sound was SO satisfying. A wonderful treat for the video clean plate club.
It makes to happy to see Adam using tools I've watched him make/improve during the End Time.
These videos are what I like most in this channel, *great job* !
One thing I find hilarious with any prop making is just how much time, effort, skill, planning, and whatever else goes into something that the original maker just threw together and said "That looks cool."
Like Luke's lightsaber when Star Wars first was made. The team probably thought "We have a broken handle to a Graflex. What can we add to it to make it a laser sword?"
Now Graflex handles are very hard to find because fans.
Just goes to show how far a little ingenuity will be appreciated by people, years (and even decades) later.
Grant would be so madly amazed.... Thats so cool. You're a great person. AND THAT BUILD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
Sound is one of the biggest contributors to making something feel real but the clicking of the cylinder combine with the clack of the latch makes it feel somehow more real than it already is.
It needs a hand-tooled leather holster... I look so forward to seeing THAT! Adam... This is AMAZING! This is why I joined this channel! Thanks for this!
Adam is reminding the world every day why machines are our tools. Not the other way around.
I love the gleeful smile this project gives you, Adam.
I'm currently working on my own project what is a Mad Max ish costume in very realistic way and when i saw how's Adam making The Samaritan...OMG I need to make some kind of Max's shotgun like this! :D
Depending on where you are, you might be able to buy an airsoft version.
@@No1sonuk Maybe yes, but this is not the same level of fun to me :D
I really like making stuff so make a shotgun similar to Max's weapon will be a great pleasure :D
The magnet rattle making the clicking sound when you spin the cylinder is really cool.
ADAM!!!!
You are super talented and one of my favorite people on earth. I’ve fallowed you’re career since your very first appearance on television. And if I could give a single piece of advice that’s helped me…
You should really take a few blue printing classes. Machinists blueprint classes. Even at some cheap night school. It would do wonders for your work and understanding/comprehension. I know it’s hard to just take a simple night class when you’re famous or whatever… But if you have course material you’re following… You’ll learn much more than trying to teach yourself online.
I’ve always had manual machines and CNc’s in my life, i’ve always worked with heavy machinery making my own things since I was a kid in my dad’s shop.... and after more than a decade in business for myself with several years of back ordered client lists… I thought I knew what I was doing.
BUT once I took a REAL MACHINISTS blueprinting class or two, or four… It helped me more than anything.
And what goes hand-in-hand with interpreting blueprints and is most important… Is “order of operations“. try to work with some retired and grumpy old school machinists who can teach you order of operations in regards to the plan your working from.
Being a machinist is just like anything else. There are classic methods and ways to be “classically trained.” Just like chefs, symphony players/professional musicians, and professional oil painters. There’s a “classical“ way to approach things.
Those 1950s and 60s “classical” machinists will work circles around modern day “professionals“.
OMG that smooth movement of the cylinder is just so satisfying on so many levels!
Adam talking about making things look good but not necessarily functional was interesting to me since I think I'm the opposite, I'm no good at making pretty things but I sure can make em' work! But that's why I love watching him work, I learn so much about that other side of making and I become the more rounded craftsman for it.
Okay I'm losing my mind; what's the song that starts at 48:50? It's super catchy but I can't find a source for it.
Your commitment and drive to create something you love is truly astounding, your excitement and joy is fantastic to see. You've put your all into making something with a level of precision that perfectly fits together to make a beautiful piece. All challenges you solved and the accidents made have given you new knowledge, especially the oh so rewarding clicky spin. The passion born from these circumstances really shines through here, I can only imagine how smooth and satisfying everything must feel to the touch. I cant wait to see the next part of this. You really nailed it man, down to the nearest thou
I could not care less about the gun, but your entusiasm and dedication however is incredible. It makes your videos so enjoyable to watch.
I can tell you from experience, learning to use the mill is no joke it looks complicated and probably was . Excellent job Adam. As always...... rip grant. I watched all your shows .
I love that fact that even when working with extreme precision on this build, Adam, and all of us honestly, still use the Tape flag on a drill bit.
Adams enthusiasm is infectious, I love it!
That loose magnet mishap really worked out well. Very happy you explained that experience with us!
Thats the greatest sound you can ever have on a replica/prop revolver
