Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2021
- Adam reveals his surprise Christmas present for his wife--a set of custom-designed and built bedroom end tables! These cedar tables aren't just a woodworking exercise; they encapsulate all the aesthetic and functional design that Adam has wanted to put into this kind of furniture, including built-in lighting and power outlets. It's a multi-day journey to make the pair of tables in time for Christmas!

FINALLY! I love seeing more traditional woodworking
Adam, having just seen your rant on "bevel cuts", one suggestion to resolve your issues with them is to make a V fence plate jig insert for your table saw cross cut sled. Make the V perfectly 90°, 45° each side of the blade, with the point centered on the kerf. This way you can make bevel cuts referencing each piece to the appropriate jig fence where even if your jig is out 0.5° the bevel faces will be parallel and the stock will end up in a 90° relationship, rather than trying to get the exact 45° referencing to a single fence. Alternative is to make a 90° fence jig for your cross cut saw, same principle, where you cut one end against the normal fence and the matching end aligned against the 90° jig fence. Essentially this would be like stacking the ends with the pieces in final 90° orientation, and cutting through both at once.
To REALLY do bevel cuts with the level of precision Adam (i presume) would like, a miter trimmer is the tool you want.
Example: Lee Valley has one for ~$219 US - pricey, but when it's the tool you want it REALLY would make a difference.
I do not own one; it's not the kind of woodworking I do...just passing on acquired wisdom...
It might be a good idea to put some electrical insulation around those exposed spade grip terminals on the 110V switch.
At Adam savage You should look up Matthias wandel youtube channel he does alot of wood work and maybe u can get some ideas to help yourself out
Adam 17 min in to a 1 hour and 15 min video; "... and then it is assembly. I mean, we are really, really close".
lol
Zeno's project-completion paradox!
🤣🤣😭😭
I came into the comments for exactly this lol. Also at 38 minutes: "Im just gonna do a couple things, but Im close to staining" lol
Adam never fails to make me laugh.
On today's edition of Adam needs an outfeed table.... I smell a great future one day build for a hinged fold away outfeed!
No kiddin! I'm cringing a bit watching that nice cedar bouncing off the floor on it's corners!
Ahh, so cringey with that blade extended far out at the same time. A folding outfeed table that hinges on the back of the saw might be a nice future project.
Or a wooden scissor lift table
Came here to make this exact comment! I think making an outfeed that is both collapsible and reliably level enough to actually help guide work pieces would be tricky - but I'm sure Adam is up to the challenge!
I had the exact same thought
No matter how old adam gets he never seems to lose that childish glee that makes him a pleasure to watch. Im lowkey jealous of his shop, and despite never growing up around tools i aspire to someday have my own shop like this.
Agree about the shop! It has a certain chaotic order to it LoL.
And yet he is one of the manliest people on yt now - a man who can build things is important by the values I was raised with - btw I’m gen x, not a boomer of anyone wants to tease me 😹
damn this was fun to watch.
I want to see his wife's reaction to receiving these
Yeah I was wondering the same thing!
Im sure she'll be pleased, but I do wonder how well she keeps up her interest in his projects. Like does she ask about his work every day or is it like "I get the idea, you make a lot of stuff, it's very cool. Anyway..."
Due to privacy issues, I doubt that you will ever see a reaction type video. But it would've been very nice just to get one minute PostScript from Adam saying that his wife like them, Hated them, love them, something.
@@adrian_conrad She already received them over a month ago, as they were Xmas gifts.
Makes you wonder if Adam exitement creates pressure on her, making it difficult to be honest if she doesn't like them.
Also wonder how well Adam handles criticism.
"I love the sparkle of my own conversation"
that is my new favorite Adam quote
I feel like this is the first time in a while that Adam has done something outside of his "comfort". It was glorious to watch. That moment of real excitement when the clamps come off is everything.
oh! I so wanted to see the wife's reaction to your amazing work on these. Just incredible. Thanks so much for sharing.
Adam is very serious about the privacy of his family. I don't think we ever saw any part of her body, let alone her face
@@Laurabeck329 Yea, I think the only time I've seen his wife is from red carpet-esque events that she's attended with Adam.
My Dad was a cabinet maker and builder. Let me tell you - this episode really got me. :) It's a shame my Dad passed already and I couldn't share Adam freaking Savage with him. I think he really would have enjoyed your work. Hell, he'd probably want to have shared a case of beer with you and talk shop. Thanks for being awesome and for sharing your craft, dude!
My father was a science teacher for 43 years, born in 1941, taught by a lapsed Amish uncle to do carpentry and woodworking of all sorts... truly a Jack of all trades (and master of a couple).
I remember it never surprised me what my father could turn his hand to.
Brian and Branden Moseley
Your comment struck home for me, in regards to my Pop. In fact, i had gotten through the entire project without a single sniffle and was feeling rather proud of myself for it. UNTIL I SAW YOUR COMMENT.
Half a box of Kleenex later, i tried to recall every single wood build my Pop had done just for me, some of which i still have (i’m 62…hoard much?). And then, there’s the unfinished sailing ship that lives in a storage shed here on my property, that he did from scratch, no kit, and all the individual strips of wood he cut for it that remain unused. The ship itself is 3 or 4 feet long and a couple of feet or so high, counting the masts and all. It is my dream to find some talented soul who is willing to undertake the completion of this vessel, which is probably just that: a dream. Adam, if you are ever up in Mendocino County (about 150 miles north of San Francisco), i have a project that’s got your name on it! Free of charge! Yours to keep! Make it so, Number One!! I just hate to see it go to waste.
Is anyone else reminded of Matt Damon's character in The Martian in all these videos where Adam is speaking to the camera? I think that being pretty much locked down during the pandemic has rendered all of us with a sense of being apart from civilization and that comes across in his reactions to some of the things he does.
I just HAVE to say, Adam Savage in his workshop is my favorite part from the past year! Seeing him creating, building, optimizing everything, all the skills, mistakes, corrections... and don't forget the brilliant ability to capture the story on video!
Thank You for everything!
The woodworker in me yelled "OUTFEED TABLE!" It's not just useful, it's a SAFETY issue.
Make it folding, make it stowable, make it a roller on a sawhorse - but make it. Please and thank you.
I'm not a woodworker, but I was yelling for something I just learned the name of, thanks! ;)
Hell just get some schmuck not doing anything to come catch them at the very least. (I've been that schmuck a number of times were effective.
You can get roller stands for under $30 a piece and you can adjust the height so you can use them with your planer, too.
Also never put your thumbs behind a workpiece because this is how surgeons end up having to transplant your toes to your hand so you can again grab stuff...
I was cringing so much during that segment. That and the initial lack of push sticks, and no locking casters on the planer.
One Day Build: Folding Outfeed Table for the table saw. You really need one sir.
Oh yeah and a riving knife for it too.
I understand no blade guard, but is there a downside to the riving knife I don't know about? Seems like a no-brainer!
@@csn583 Pretty much no downside. You need to take it off to use a dado blade, but that's about it. Anyone who's been watching for a while knows Adam is not a great role model for safe table saw use.
Also, don't have your table saw against a wall....
@@csn583 You don't get to know the joy of having a huge slab of wood flying back at you while your hands fly into the blade.
Adam needs a bevel jig for his table saw. It doesn't even have to be a perfect 45 as you use each side of the jig to cut corresponding sides of the from so they match up perfectly.
He’s got pop tarts open on his work bench!! 😭 He’s such a little kid I love him!!🖤
"I must admit, it's like a tile puzzle" THANK YOU! You gave me the terminology to explain to my partner why I need to buy more materials for our favorite thing; shop organization!
"Miter cuts" :)
And remember, rather than doing them by hand, if you don't want to bring out the miter saw, you can always do them on the table saw, you just have to make sure to get a solid 45 on the blade.
And actually, you could probably "Adamify" it and do them on the Bridgeport.. That could be a good time. :)
thank you I was like isn't that just a "miter cut"
@@5274jacob I've definitely been known to call something the wrong thing before, but it just made me laugh since he's so dead-on on most everything. :)
@@theeverydaymakers It's almost part of the trade. So many little descriptive words that our brain just picks a kinda-related word, and we will say it with full confidence and without even second-guessing. I've managed to say veneer instead of patina before. Entirely wrong, but still a word relating to a top layer finish.
It depends on the side you consider the face and which is the edge. Since his stock is square I guess technically it could be either one.
@@matthewray6008 I've always been under the impression that you use "miter" when talking about the joint and "bevel" then discussing the angle of the joint. Kinda an "every miter has bevels, but not every bevel is a miter" thing.. More of the reason for the existence of "Dual Bevel Miter Saws".
That being said, I'm an amateur woodworker at best. :D
“THE BEVELATOR!” [holds up a miter saw]
As a woodworker watching Adam cut those big cedars blocks and reach over the saw made every fiber of my being shake. Love the builds.
Very cool! Soft close, power outlets, USB ports, and auto-lights! What more could you want in an end table/nightstand?
... A 6" circular section that lifts up, and underneath is a hot cup of coffee... on demand!
“It’s not the line, it’s the part of the line!” I felt that!
i love the fact that something looks stylish and classy, yet has hidden advanced features like USB power, led lights that automatically turn on and off and such.
I was glad I stayed to the end as those features were brilliant. But, I personally would have made a small change so the drawers didn't click so loudly when they are opened and closed.
Ah yes the spoils of being a maker, we modify everything. It's like kylo rens lightsaber. It doesn't need all the extra, but the extra makes it mine.
I'm a little concerned that when the drawers are fully open the light won't work as it will be behind the drawer but can't see an obvious solution short of putting the light IN the drawer rather than above it with the messier look that would have given. Maybe they just need a stop to prevent the drawer fully opening.
It's great and nicer than anything I'd make but there are two things really bugging me about the lighting system:
1) The USB ports are upside down! Once you know the proper way it's really irritating when things are backwards.
2) There could be an extra layer of insulating paper around the switch terminals to help prevent shocks.
Fortunately both of these points could be addressed without much work.
@@user-fk8zw5js2p this could be solved in the future, there are silent versions of the microswitch adam used.
Love the "magic dustcloud moments" during the leg sanding timelapse! :-D
The trials and tribulations of furniture making. I struggle with mitered corners, too.
I complain about my inability to create a good miter while everyone else tells me how beautiful the finished product is.
Those are beautiful end tables.
Thanks,
John
Anyone else love the random frames of Adam's face during time-lapses when he is adjusting the camera.
Also Adam has said in the past once he’s done with a project he takes them home and often sets them on his nightstand. I can’t help but picture the nightstands stacking similar to when you see a flat screen tv on an old tube tv.
Mr. Savage starts the video, unscaved
some camera cuts later a giant bandaid appears in his forehead...
some cuts later the bandaid is gone, good, but now there is a giant bandage around his finger!
this man is too precious to be hurting himself so often! Take care of yourself maaaan! We need you alive and making end tables for us for a long time still!
I love how honest you are about your shortcomings and you have always been this way. it is part of the charm of Myth busters!
That click is either someone's joy or someone's pain. Wonder if there will be a reed switch rebuild x)

AS a guitar builder, I love that a Japanese pull saw is chosen over a power tool...I have been scratch building acoustics for 30 years, and have sill never used a table saw. Thanks for all the riveting, (sorry), episodes that have made the pandemic less claustrophobic. The way you break down a build process is really an art. Cheers,m from far off Santa Cruz.
Oh Adam... as a woodworker, there was a part of me that was yelling my brains out watching this. No outfeed table, using a Japanese Ryoba on huge material, not using your bandsaw to rip that big boy, no dust mask while sanding... oy vey. I still love you man.
Out of curiosity (from a newbie), what would you recommend as the best way to chop down such chonky material other than the Ryoba?
@@willthevideoman Adam has a bandsaw, which what I would have used.
Having a bandsaw in San Francisco isn't like having a bandsaw anywhere else. Generally mine never has the space around it necessary to swing an 8' piece of lumber and I opt for the Ryoba too.
I'd have loved to have heard what the wife thought about the tables.
What tables?
@@dannymac6368 is this suppose to be a joke?
@@Jessa8891 where have you been?
I am thoroughly going to enjoy watching this one.. 😃
As a amateur, self-taught carpenter / woodworker I can say : Good Work!
Anyone else notice the live spade connectors just sitting there? When the draws are open they would be so easy to accidently touch, expecially for a dog wondering around under the table. Heatshrink!
After covids arse has been kicked, Adam should do a build with Nick Offerman. Just the thought is enough to make me giggle.
We'd TOTALLY love that.
Instantly heard Offerman's giggle.

Those brackets; "Im going to use some home grown delrin, but store bought is fine too."
The happy dance at 47:12 is exactly what I do when something I make fits just right.
i have the same respect for table saws. growing up my mom was learning how to use it while i stood on the other side of the garage behind stuff with the house phone, just in-case. The plywood kicked a few times. no one was injured, but lessons and respect was learned.
We all love ya to much to see you breathing all that super fine (it doesn’t settle) dust.
I love this. It’s like Wranglerstar without all the propaganda.
What happened to that guy anyways
How dare you compare Adam to this schmuk :
yesss - more wood projects!!
Those soft close full extension drawer slides are what my shop uses for most drawers, I love them.
you need to get a shooting board! Used with a hand plane you can fine-tune the fit of your bevel cuts to be absolutely perfect every time.
watching Adam procrastinate because he is apprehensive about the next step makes me feel a tiny bit better about my process. Yep, I do that too
I wonder if Adam feels any better about doing Mitreing work now that he has done it again???
Cutting miters is truly the bane of my woodworking existence. I've done them on the table saw with an analog angle gauge, digital gauge, on the miter saw, and by hand with a miter block and they never ever come out right!
I appreciate the self-knowing honesty of the bevel cut monologue. Too many people are blind to their own weaknesses.
Making useable furniture is easy. Making it look professional is hard.
Preach!
Agreed!
Making it still look professional after it's been through a few seasons of temperature and humidity fluctuation is mastery!
It's not hard at all if you've got professional grade equipment and tools. If you're trying to get by with what a typical joe has in their garage then yeah it's going to be damn hard.
@@Rowgue51 tell me about it. I made an 8x6 gaming table out of deck scrap, 30 year old paneling and amazon cardboard. Without a workshop, in winter and only one day to cut before snow in the backyard. Turned out pretty impressive for the price of basically zero.
53:32 workflow sometimes gets you up onto the table 😂😂
These are very cool, Adam. I hope your wife was delighted by them, and that they serve you both well for many many years to come. Thank you for sharing your process with us all.
I love watching Adam’s videos on 1.5x speed, he’s much more of a maniac and I highly suggest it
would love to see or hear about the wife's reaction whenever you do these things
“This is the final build” *checks* only half way through, sounds about right
Thank you Adam, for blending two of my favorite things on UA-cam, woodworking and you. :)
1:00:35 I love how Adam just uses noises and whistles instead of words sometimes
Adam I love your videos I am currently making my very own Totoro costume inspired by your build I love all your videos and you have been a massive inspiration in my journey as a maker/tailor.
Just realized how scared Adam of the table saw, to the point of using Japanese saw to cut that 6x6 I don't blame him!
Oh and hearing that lovely Japan saw was so sweet!
"Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?"
I think the original quote uses buy instead of build, but it still works.
Two can sleep as cheap as one - the Pajama Game.
To say I was devastated when Mythbusters wrapped, would be an understatement. I watched every episode, and owned many specials on DVD. I watched white Rabbit project, and was sad when it ended as well. It felt like something was missing in that show, and I think many other viewers felt the same. It was Adam. His enthusiasm, can-do spirit, and brutal honesty is fun to watch. I just discovered this channel, and was so excited I had to comment! Love what you do, keep up the good work!
The much anticipated end tables. They have arrived.
16:12 Me: I am surprised nothing has gone wrong yet.
16:13 Also me: Notices the bandaid on his forehead
Adam thank you so much for being Adam Savage and really making the world brighter.
Couldn’t agree with you more, Adam, about the drawer slides. As a part time wood worker, I get soooo much satisfaction from a clean shop, organized wood storage, finish, and drawer slide attachment! It’s a fantastic feeling!
They turned out fantastic! Very well done, love the felt.
Adam: "I'm making a box."
Me: "I wouldn't expect anything less-"
The time given to the cut of "paint drying" is such a lovely moment. Thank you.
An artist is able to make something breathtaking. A master is able to do it again.
Might I suggest for a one day build of an outfeed table for your table saw.
Can we Mythbust whether felt works as a coaster? Where does the moisure go--against the wood? My concern here would be the bedside tabletops getting stained and mildewy.
i was a carpenter, and i miss it so much, and im having such a total nerdgasm from that hunk of cedar! ive had the honor of working with a piece of walnut that size, completely solid, and man i wish i could go back to doing furniture grade carpentry!
I must admit, it felt refreshing to see you pop a breaker with the planer! Happens to me too often in my woodshed/garage! :D
21:00 Amen. professional woodworker here. Bevels and miter cuts SUCK. I'll do lap joints or finger joints long before I miter.
This is AWSOME
Oh WOW !! I can smell the damp cedar all the way through this. Olfactory memory is awesome.
I would've loved to have seen her reaction to this awesome present. Did she love them????
Great video Adam! Witnessing joyful laugh of a person with a flamethrower is priceless ❤
Wonderful project, thank you so much for sharing! I love the way your end tables turned out. I must say that one missing element was the ability to see your wife's reaction upon the presentation of your gift. In any case, I daresay she was thrilled. And btw, although I am neither expert nor professional in building things, I've been attempting to for decades. I would love to engage in mechanical projects, but most of my forays have been into the Land of Woodworking, where I feel I can grasp the problems at hand and solve them to at least a respectable degree. (As reluctant as I am to take on mechanical projects, I'm downright petrified of plumbing projects and refuse to go near them. Let's call it plumbophobia. One of Dante's 'circles of hell' should be plumbing projects.) Anyway, tung oil has long been my finish of choice for indoor furniture and objects; I just love its quality and the way it allows the grain to come through-especially when applied with patience. Cheers!
Adam I have watched you for years and have alway admired all your thoughtfulness, but watching you push all that soft cedar off the table saw and let it drop to the floor is uncomfortable for me. I am also a maker and take such pride in my work, as you do. I understand that space is a premium, but a small outfield table is a must one day build.
Respect to you

This is just Adam Savage geeking out over wood for 1 hour and 14 minuets
i love watching you adam, from the struggle of getting a lot done in such a small space to having the breaker pop when i use my planer as well, struggles are real
Spent most of the video wondering what an "end table" was until I realised he meant bedside tables. Very nice result.
That satisfied moan when Adam felt his felt..priceless...
I wish we could see your families reactions to the gifts you make! These are beautiful, and super interesting to watch you make.
I love the happy dances he does knowing he is nailing the thing hes doing with it being for his wife he knows hes gonna make her happy and so proud and the pride he has in himself is so nice to see. X
Love the brown jacket he's got on in this video anyone know the make of this jacket
Same, have you found anything like it?
I needed a woodworking project to get me through the day... thanks!
These gifts you make for her are great! Loved the watering can one too. I just wish I could see her reaction! 😊
Built myself a new workbench out of very nice plywood, 4x4's and 2x4's over the weekend to replace the small pre-fab bench that came with the house. I was so excited about how it all came out. I agree with your comment about the drawers, I had extra material, so I salvaged some of the drawer slides from the old bench and remade a very small drawer for one side of the bench and it was so satisfying. Wish I could include a picture.
Just what I was waiting for 😁
I don't know much about woodworking, but wouldn't you have wanted to dry them before putting them in the planer to avoid dealing with warping from drying?
If you plane an equal amount off all sides, warp is usually fairly minimal, especially with thicker pieces
Agreed. In most cases I would agree with your point. However, as Nick said, the thickness of the wood is going to prevent most of the warping that you would have to worry about. Also, wood normally flattens out when it dries anyway if it was cut properly.
4:30 is about where i have to think to myself "breaking outta jail" to avoid massive impatience issues! Works a treat btw. My favourite mind hack
Adam you are incredible. Keep up the great work and awesome educational videos. Watching you sign the tables made me imagine a day far in the future when your work is auctioned and collected as pieces of fine craftsmanship from an important historical figure. Bless you man!
Make an outfeed table for your table saw. Even a small one. Please
So what did you build for your Nephew? Oh yeah, outstanding end tables.
It was the God of War Axe! ua-cam.com/video/apeZO6C0ZeA/v-deo.html
Lovely work, they turned out great. My grandfather was a carpenter and handyman and maker for our family until his hands started to stiffen up from arthritis. Now I am interested in following in his footsteps and you are helping inspire me to do so.
Oh man I can't admit how much I've struggle with bevel cuts. THANK YOU ADAM FOUR AMITTING IT.
Time for an outfeed table for your table saw! That could be a one day build.
You need a fold-down out-feed table on that table saw Adam.
He needs a planer sled to eliminate his snipe
You could always use a manual miter box for your bevel cuts. In combination with a back saw. Or even that nifty Japanese jobbies you were using earlier.
