Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Star Trek Captain's Chair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2015
- We're in for a treat today--Adam shares the story of his Star Trek Captain's Chair, which he became obsessed with building from scratch after acquiring an insufficient replica. With the help of friend Jeremy Williams, Adam spends a day wiring in the electronics to bring his new Enterprise command chair to life. After much problem solving and troubleshooting, the effort pays off in a big way!

Here's more about Adam Savage's Star Trek Beyond costume: ua-cam.com/video/46lG4MMzwL4/v-deo.html
I love watching this video again and again... Oh my universe I want that chair!!!
Adam Savage great build on Star Trek Captain seat I bet you wouldn't shopping or would love this but I'm glad to see that you have completed it also found it educational and very technical to do but I'm glad your friend is there with you all the best in the new season and have an excellent Christmas kcb third son of Elvis Presley
Captain Adam Savage just beat me to live do you know you can get a communicator that works like a cell phone did you ever see one in the states we have them here in Canada
I did not see the computer software chips or computer cards nowhere to put them
Jettison Pod.
.....sooooooo....I had basically zero idea what they were talking about the entire time. I am NOT good with electronics.....but when Adam said "fuckin' fuck"......I knew PRECISELY what he was feeling.
I as, an electrical engineer, am so glad they made this video. It is so accurate in showing how many times things go wrong, and no one has an idea why. It made me happy to see them not cut out all the mistakes, missteps, amd failures.
CaptCephalopod "I, as..., am
Too am I :P
Honestly, same!
"It's blinking but it's not the right blinking"
Adam we've all been there.
agreed. i don't think ive had many complex projects NOT have these kinds of issues.
As an Engineer I never seen such a bad engineer. Most of the time he is like IDK etc...
21:44 I just love how Adam was so insulted by that accusation to his brass.
out of all the noises on the enterprise, that whistle tone on the chair to communicate on the ship is my favourite
I love Adam Savage for making and having lots of awesome stuff, but I also hate Adam Savage for making and having lots of awesome stuff.
BlobVanDam I know, right? I know how he got the money but how does he find the time?
BlobVanDam I know, right? I know how he got the money but how does he find the time?
POVadventure He's clearly better than us mere mortals. The man can do more in a day than I could manage in a year.
BlobVanDam the magic of editing. this video alone took at least 2 days of building and 2 weeks of waiting on stuff to come in. i assume he uses a typical work week of monday to friday for actual work and tries to have one day a week that he uses for personal. thats what i try to do, and i fit in some extra work where i can.
But at least he loves to share it with everyone.
Adam should build an alternate base, for the captain's chair, built using the chasis of an electric wheelchair, controlled with a joystick. Then, Adam can cruise around the ComicCon dressed as a Federation captain.
frankenzion0001 that would be amazing!!!
frankenzion0001 make the chair look like a uss enterprise
Nice use of the Shatner comma
Wouldn't Captain Pike's chair be better as mobile?
What an idea!
More computer power in that chair, than in Apollo 11 :-)
That not saying much
@@keeganbenton4779 Neither is this comment….
The end of the video, when Adam is playing with and enjoying this awesome thing he made, thats what its all about.
Adam Savage knows how to live. His joy is so infectious.
You cannot be more right
Ikr? The biggest reason I watch his stuff is because I love his laugh and just how joyful he is. Hes like a big kid and it makes me laugh
Kind of a dick though.......
@@moeshickenyay True. He's quite dark actually.
"It's doing all sort of cool Tron-like shit" - Adam Savage 2015
im glad i read the first comment cause i was going to say the same thing hahaha love it!
Joe Brown I was JUST about to post that! 20 minutes in, definitely the highlight!
"Fucking fuck" ~Adam Savage 2015
19:57 for anyone looking for it :D
Donny this is a little late but it’s at 27:39
Wow, how does it work?
Me: Magic.
Why is that one not working?
Also Me: Ran out of magic.
Um to say this is straining the meaning of "One day Build" (2 guys talking for week beforehand then 3 guys working for 8 hours on one day and then reconvening weeks later....all in order to tweak an already completed project that, itself took more than 11 days) is a galactic understatement. It cannae b' done cap'n!!! And to say "the wiring" is a one day build is like saying the last mile of a marathon is easy. There is no point to wiring up a a chair...WITHOUT THE CHAIR. That said, Adam is outstanding and all is forgiven! Great vid.
Never have I actually heard Adam swear without censorship, I love it!
Whoa, not going that far lol.
+mazdaplz i doubt that...
that's exactly what I was thinking
“Well bust my buttons and jump for joy!, I gotta’ kleen billa’ health from docter McCoy”
(Hippie ost episode)
Four nerds, working on hardware; with no music playing in the background... Priceless!
+Robert Hopkins Geek will suit him better.
+Robert Hopkins I'll bet that has more to do with licensing rather than their work environment preferences!
+Robert Hopkins There's music during the montage.
+Robert Hopkins And nearly a million people watched it.
+Melinda Green he meant during the time of recording, while making the chair. They listened to only the sounds of machinery the entire time, and the music was added in post
10:50 "Red is common ground"
Black wire: Am I joke to you?
19:59 "They doing all kinds of cool Tron-like shit." I'm going to find a way to use this in daily conversation.
It warms my heart to see Jeremy wear a Darth Vader shirt to work on a Star Trek prop
TheMangakid1995 who’s Jeremy?
TheMangakid1995 nvm I wasn’t paying attention to his name
the guy wearing the Darth Vader t-shirt :P
First rule of t shirts: "appropriate" is deeply uncool. Wear your Le Mans shirt to Bonneville Speed Week, Springsteen shirt to a Stones gig, SW shirt to a Trek thing and so on. If you have a Ferrari, driving it in a Ferrari shirt makes you a total div... 🙂
Adam is my hero. When I was young, he blew shit up and made me laugh. Now, I get to glimpse at his creative process as he does an amazing job at building, and loves every second of it.
You can see him as a kid in the early 80s! Go to Billy Joel's "Second Wind" video and watch for the rescued drowning boy.
awakenedape with millions of viewers he’s gotta be making some mega bucks too. Good for him. Just hope he can turn this all into a show someday
36:09 is my favorite part. Watching them nerd out warmed my heart.
Yup
You know I've been watching star trek all day and night I miss the good old days RIP Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and James Doohan they were the best Will be missed.
"Yeah, it's doing a bunch of tron-like shit" -Adam Savage 2015 hahaha
that's my new goto when lights are blinking.
Music playing in the background* "fucking fucky fuck" Adam Savage 2015.
give it some credit
+venum league When?
19:58 is when he says it
Hearing Adam curse without censorship is such a breath of fresh air =D
"all sorts of cool tron like shit" lol.
came for a comment about that line. a classic :)
"fucking fuc"
@@gael7896 now that was an air breath of hair
Okay, it's really not that big of a deal. Maybe to a child
"scotty the . . chair . . seems . . to be . . working fine."
*D O N T D O I T C A P T A I N*
I can't help but say I am incredibly envious of Adams workshop. I wish I knew how to have the resources to be so creative and have the knowledge he has to do so many things. It truly is a dream come true for anybody that wants a real workshop.
Those Tribbles definitely increase the accuracy.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Your hat amazes me.
eni Haha, too bad Adam doesn't watch Doctor Who, I'd love to see him build a TARDIS. His cave is severely lacking of Whovian stuff, the longest running scifi series of all time.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat
It seems like he could do one that collapses like the real prop in a day.
Could you imagine him doing a TARDIS control console from the old series? With his machining skills he could make some sweet sonic screwdrivers too.
KnightsWithoutATable I want to see him make those round things, and that door. I may look young, but I actually started watching from the 1st Doctor, my nostalgia is with grumpy old Doctor and Susan.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Nope, there are to few of them.
I thought it would have been really funny if they would have added more and more
tribbles between every cut while shooting this, starting with just a couple and
at the end of the video there is just a pile of them covering the entire finished
chair and Adam.
the magnetic switches are the coolest
Going to be honest this is still my favorite build he has done to date.
I love the hand drawn "our solar system...not to scale" picture in the background
That's some fine craftsmanship
bakerXderek CHEEAAH!
bakerXderek te gusta?
bakerXderek Shooting all kinds of ropes? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
bakerXderek I keep finding motovlogers on random vids o.o first dan now you CHEAHH
bakerXderek Cheah indeed my friend, cheah indeed.
"All sorts of cool Tron-like shit."
David Koch First time i ever heard adam swear XD
RAI DEN But not the last 27:37
RAI DEN You should have heard him when he found out the B Team was more popular than him and the Walrus.
BloodofPatriots The walrus XD Jamie will get you for that XD
+David Koch "Fucking Fuck."
The thing I love about watching Adam is the combination of child-like wonder and enthusiasm. So contagious!
He had to have known he pulled the Picard maneuver at the end, there, haha.
Loved this video to pieces. I hope to have the same enthusiasm Adam does, in my later years.
I watch this and think to myself......comparatively, I'm a fucking idiot
+lvdox21 the one guy that showed up with the electronics is pretty smart. Jamie's plenty smart too, but he's not an electronics guru. I don't know how to make a vacuum formed communicator thing-a-majob, but I feel I could have helped out on the LED debugging part, they were just going in circles there. (Happens to all of us).
I'm middle aged and I've never done anything like this, I feel I've wasted a lot of my life.
+Alastair Ward I would bet your wife would have a different opinion :)
Rob Neff oh I'm single. And a Star Trek fan, imagine?!
+lvdox21 Once you understand the principles of electronics, then it becomes a lot easier. In a nutshell, electronics is based on logic and mathematics. There is nothing stopping you learning the basics and developing advanced knowledge. So many self taught books and internet free projects out there.
I love seeing adults turn into giant children with excitement
i read that as "excrement".... probably because of the "captain's log" joke above....
LOL...Adam says "i wish i had one of these when i was ten",
but i think he can probably appreciate and enjoy it more now that he is eleven! ;D
Boys and their toys, we all wish we had your talents and man cave! Always a pleasure to watch, even going back to older videos. They never fail to make me smile 😁 This is the ultimate captain's chair!!
I feel what is most entertaining about watching all these one day builds is the energy and joy Adam has every time. It just makes something that is already interesting into something you can spend hours watching....which I just did XD
I love how happy Adam is playing with all the SFX. He really is like a child in a workshop and that's why I love him
Adam's enthusiasm is so contagious!
When Adam opened the chair and the camera focused on "Built by Adam Savage Jan 2015" I couldn't help but imagine how valuable and collectible his works of art are, both now and will be in the future!! He is a living legend.
30:40 -- I'm going to come right out and say it, having a library of Majel Barrett computer quotes is clearly awesome.
Adam, i know this was a few years back, but I have been binge watching all of these for 3 days straight! I love what you do!
I am not even a big Star Trek fan, and that is the most awesome chair reproduction ever. I want one in my living room.
This is the absolute, ultimate, best prop-meets-real-life thing I have ever seen. I am stunned by the sheer awesomeness that is this project. I would love to know just what kind of cost is associated with building something like this, because I would definitely, in some regard, later in life, want to recreate this to some degree. It would be the best nerd-room centerpiece in the history of nerd rooms.
Speakers + amp , Powersupplies, Electronics, Wires first
speakers plus amp is around few hundred and you can get it cheaper, powersupplies lets have 2x 20 amp 50 $ each, the arduino is dirt cheap say 30 $ to get all the breadboards etc, leds and other electronics around 100 $. this sub totals to 380.
now the chair, wood, leather upholstery around few hundred bucks, the custom molds and custom switches some hundreds more. that sub totals to 400.
so 380 and 400 makes 780$ before factoring in labor.
Which is then the option of finishing the thing or learning every single used technique first. Heavily simplifying material is 1/3 of total costs so that gives us an estimate of 2340$.
Adams shop, the cost of an electrical engine and a salary for a shop assistant not included.
If i would make this i would set a budget of 3k and order some of the stuff prefab to compensate for the lack of wood shop.
The less money you have, the more you can push your imagination and generally speaking, the better the project comes out. Try recycling centers
Adam. I'm picturing the next Star Trek chair could be the life-support chair where Captain Pike uses blinking lights to communicate. It could move around using a joystick underneath the top. You could simply sit in it stone faced with the burn makeup and mouth open looking like Captain Pike as you putter around Comic Com using the joystick. That would be EPIC on multiple levels. You could make it extra cool by being able to play audio of Captain Pike.
What I'd love to see with some of these builds is the actors reactions to seeing them. Like get Shatner in the shop to take a seat and geek out over how awesome Adam's work is. Or better yet...Harrison Ford to get that blaster in his hands! Adam would probably be geeked but I think the actors would be even more reminiscent and emotional about reliving the feeling of those props after 20-30 years.
"All sorts of cool TRON-like shit" is quite possibly the best description of what was going on (and definitely the most pleasurable thing that I've heard all day).
But seriously... two weeks waiting on parts and you didn't even finish upholstering the chair in the meantime?! You're way more patient than me, I'd have been chomping at the bit. I salute you, sir.
Need to put speakers and an unbalanced weighted motor into the tribbles so they wiggle.
Seriously now, when can we expect more Jeremy outside of the podcast? This is prime evidence that it is possible to force him to do more!
I couldn't agree more!
John Grammaticus Well it took him like 4 months to do this :p
RCKnut
I bet Jeremy did his part well but Adam's schedule made the 4 months hole inbetween haha. I'd love to see a column writeup on this setup.
Fascinating to watch Adam in this video because he has this “Myth Busters” Vibe to his demeanor and the way he presents himself that is so much different than it is in the present day videos of 2024, this is my observation. I wonder if anyone else has the same vibe as I do?🤷🏾
"Scotty bring me some coffee"
"I can't captain! I'm givin er all she's got!"
Adam: I could tap you a bus bar.
Jeremy: That sounds obscene I don't know what that is
Turned out if they actually did screw the bus bar instead of soddering the LEDs they probably wouldn't have ended up with all the flashing.
Adam "Fucking Fuck."
i died when he said that
It actually caught me off guard because I am so used to Mythbusters being censored.
Glad youtube isn't. It's just fucking stupid. :)
27:37
Sounded like that classic line for Good Fellows.
"This was an eBay purchase-- kind of an impulse buy."
"Alright, let me engage with this for a second."
I'm dead lol
"Doin' all sort of cool tron-like shit."
Love it
I've never even seen Star Trek and I think this is absolutely glorious.
Kanra-tan you never WHAT
Kanra-tan How is that even possible?
Kanra-tan Go to Netflix now and fix this. You will earn 10000 Geek Cred and 100 Quatloos.
Why is this not fully in Klingon without any subtitles or explanation. This was your chance.
I would definitely still watch it lol
KAPLAR
Jeremy Williams and Will did an awesome job with the electronics, as well as Adam’s work and the integration of both.
Cool stuff. But you are aware that the yellow light corresponds to... wait for it... YELLOW ALERT; not red and extra red, haha. (Yellow = Shields up; Red = Shields and charge weapons). Okay, done nit-picking... That really is a great chair, I especially like your magnetic cards. Genius! Well done Adam and Jeremy!
No cup holder.
Who has time for a drink in this chair?
You have to hit the button for the cup holder to come out.
If you ever want to push someones buttons just sit in that chair and your wish will come true!!
That only means it belongs in a German automobile like my Crossfire.
oh my god XD
Fantastic job! The most accurate chair I've seen anywhere! Go Adam!
I can not believe it has been two years since this video came out. This was amazing when I first saw it and it has me nerd out laughing in joy watching you all react to this. I love this.
There is a major thing wrong with the chair... ... ... it's not mine!!!
Mark Lewis Build one
@@AlasdairGR I can't change the laws of physics... nor can I build anything other than simple Lego projects... with some help... and supervised.
So... I bought the inflatable Capt. Kirk flotation pool chair, with drink holder for my sofa... Only $15.95 on line. I can't build a chair, but I did inflate it myself!
\V/ ^( ^_^ )^
L L & P
I get where you're coming from but its just not the same without the rest of the ship under it. I mean, who wants a captains chair when there's no helm or navigation console to take you to other parts of the galaxy? When there's no Scotty to sit on the engines and nurse them if he has too? No Uhura to open'em hailing frequencies? And no Mr. Spock to be fascinated...
@@Nash1a I've always imagined a control room with a huge monitor (65 inch TV) where I could control the alarm systems, cameras, computer and TV while sitting in the Chair...all the buttons actually working and not just a big expensive toy
@@starfleetquartermaster6802 it's called a cellphone
that viewing port needs a small screen to watch star trek in it
Adam Savage is not just a HUGE nerd... he's such a darn LIKEABLE nerd! The best kind! I love how much joy he gets out of his passion!
Norm is just in the background being Norm.
I dunno, he seems pretty NORMal to me
It's become the norm .
"So, what did we just realize here? Anything?"
y so low?
yes, Men are just larger sized versions of Boys.
and they will spend/work any amount required in order to buy/build the insane things they want, EVEN if someone has already done it before them.
anyone seen the $30K Robot reproductions from Lost in Space?
"It's doing all sort of cool Tron-like shit" - Adam Savage 2015
This is the best build I have seen that truly makes you happy this chair is awesome and I’m glad to see that you are so excited over a chair that was from the star trek days it’s hard to explain I use to whatch Star Trek like all kids I still will watch it once in a while wen I can’t find something to watch but the joy and happiness that I see that you get out of this chair is awesome if only all people could be as happy about some thing in ther lives it would probably make a difference in this world awesome build and glad to see you are so happy about it
Wow...im truly impressed by Adam! He has such an impressive talent...incredible!
"Adam's workshop, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Captain Savage. His one day build: to explore strange new wires, to seek out new lights in blinky configurations, to boldly go where no man has gone before..."
The wiring guy looks genuinely super happy. Look at his eyes! He looks like a kid in a Toys'r'us!
my IQ dropped
its ToysR'Us
When I saw the recreation of the set it hit hit me just how creatively the show had used the resources they had. Great show (both the original series and this), great work on the chair.
I might have to design my own interpretation of that view screen; I don't want "little old nobody" me to take away from Adam having something no one else has on their chair, but at the same time I absolutely love it!
"'Scotty, can you come bring me coffee', 'I can't, captain'." was actually pretty funny.
36:14 wearing star wars t-shirt in video about star trek. What a savage
Some would say.... An Adam Savage?
Watching someone be that happy warms my heart.
I'm not enough of a geek to collect & store memorabilia, but this is EPIC and I'd damn well make room for this. Absolutely incredible. I want one.
This is sweet! Great build!
namedcreekrocks
You should invite William Shatner to try out your chair and maybe give his oppinion on it =)
Middle age spread means he no longer fits in a chair this size:
www.gettyimages.com/event/star-trek-the-tour-north-american-debut-78875261
For the record, you posted a link to pics of middle aged William Shatner proving he can still fit on a chair this size.
That was excellent. I liked how you showed the failures and solutions. That would have been the most awesome toy when I was ten years old. I hope that Adam finished the back of the chair after all that work. If more people would spend time being creative and working together this world would be a better place.
I’m a junk dealer from Mississippi, and the captains chair from Trek was built around a mid century chair by the Madison furniture company in Canton Mississippi. I’ve actually had a couple of their pieces, one was a giant turquoise sofa that was from the same line as Kirk’s chair. It’s all super collectible now of course.
I don't know if you ever played the original Star Trek arcade game from the early 80's (?).
Anyway, I ALWAYS loved the feature that when the player sat in the cabinet/chair, Sulu would say, "Welcome aboard Captain..."
+Anamnesia I recall that it was Spock saying it, but I could be mistaken.
I also like how he's wearing a shirt with Vader on it while working on a StarTrek prop.
Awesome!!! Just saw this now... I know, I know but I am not on the net and when this was out just arrived back from being stationed overseas so I am way behind on a lot of stuff. Especially the Star trek Experience in Vegas... My wife and I do charity/cons from original series to TNG T.V./movie versions. Huge Star Trek fan and again this is awesome Mr. Savage!!!
Hi Adam. Enjoy the one day builds. I especially liked this episode of the Captain's chair. A challenge would also be building the ultimate driving simulator chair on a low budget. I have yet to find a good economical driving simulator chair. But besides that, I do enjoy all the videos you have, they are beyond cool.
Thanks for having them out there.
I loved myth busters but a show just having Adam build stuff like this would have been better.
That's exactly what this IS. What's your point?
RJrules64 i think he means on tv. not just youtube
Gavin Belcher I know thats what he means, but thats silly! why would you WANT to have to watch it on a schedule with ads instead of whenever you want with only 1 ad or no ads?
MPAII myth busters is on Netflix you don't have to have ads
I,ndchannelsonnntelevisionMPAII hhowwtoof
I keep watching these videos in my apartment thinking, I wish I could make things. But I have no shop, no tools, and even worse no knowledge of any of this. The debate on the electronics just had me so lost..
+Alex Ferraro Dont give up. Make it happen. But have patience. Think of your goal and do step 1.
+Alex Ferraro Adam talks a couple times on podcasts about how legit it is to make things in a small apartment. A guy asked a question in a Tested Q&A video about model making in apartments and Adam said something like "don't scorn the small apartment work." So I think he would agree that you shouldn't be discouraged :)
They should make a video about how to set something like that up, like they did with the beginners toolbox.
How you can make things in your appartment/parents house/garage with as little space as possible, how to organize that, what basic things you would need etc.
I know it sounds pretty straight forward, but seeing how someone else is doing it gives you so many great ideas how to set something up yourself you might never had thought of.
I have a shop, tools and knowledge and I still got lost.
+altaroffire56 so true, It's so much easier doing things hands on than trying to follow what these guys are saying
I've sat in the original.
You're damn close.
The biggest thing I noticed when sitting in the original was that the padding was squished soooo flat it was horribly uncomfortable.
I totally love all of Adam's UA-cam and Tested content. I only discovered these vids a few years back and was thrilled to find that my self taught maker techniques paralleled his so closely. while I haven't read all the comments I do have a possible explanation for the failed LED issues. Polystyrene, while being an incredibly versatile material and possibly my personal favorite plastic, is an extremely evil conduit for creating ESD (electrostatic discharge). I've had several failures while trying to use this material for reflectors or enclosures on projects that used LED lighting. That's been my experience anyway.
"One Day Builds"
Honest to god, I wish this is how Mythbusters was filmed. I love the more down to earth this is what we are thinking stuff. I don't need all the frilly filler crap that Mythbusters has now.
Actually the new season was a lot like this. I really liked how it felt more professional and spent more time on building and solving, rather than watching an explosion. I makes you feel in depth with them and you learn a thing or two.
+Taonas The simple minded masses, can't handle slower shows like this.
+Taonas Yeah BBC would have done it this way.
Jay Bee BBC wouldn't be wrong.
Adam is 'right-on-the-money' about those Tandy speakers. I still have a pair of them from years ago. They have amazing sound - for what they are.
Adam, you out did even yourself with this build; wish I had one. Huge TOS Trekie fan. Outstanding!
I'm not much of a Star Trek fan but that is the coolest one day build yet.
Captain savage
He has a freaking fantastic Star Trek Captain's name... Captain Savage!
OMG. He has to play STO now, just so he can play as Captain Savage from his command chair.
The Minimus 7 speakers are exactly that! Great speakers. I still use mine for surrounds and in my workshop. In wood and black metal versions.
I think Adam has what so many of us "adults" dream of. The ability to remain that slightly crazy, enthusiastic, and imaginative child like quality. He has worked very long and hard to get to this point in life. I would be kidding myself if I said I was not envious of him. I like that he does not spend to much time planning his projects but just "does it". I can't do that and it is frustrating to say the least. Thanks for sharing Adam and crew.
are society clearly crushes are dreams..
This exercise reminds me of How the Thermians of Galaxy Quest built a real working space ship from seeing the ship and how they "played" on the set of a TV Show...
I wonder whats next for Adam and his team, build a real working Enterprise...?! lol! :)
Best part 27:38 every builder knows feeling
The solution found by Jeremy just felt so good. Those brass thingies were horrific
so delightful... thank you for sharing the joy!
For your next project - go to a forest and cut down a giant Captain's LOG! :D
HaHa!! 😊🐢🐈🍪🍱
Konstantin Steriy I just went to the toilet and made my own lol
