Adam Savage's Weekend Builds: Material Storage Improvements
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2020
- During the stay-at-home order, Adam has been spending a lot of time fine-tuning and using his lathe and milling machine. In this shop infrastructure build, he adjusts and modifies his material storage related to those two key shop tools!

Hi Adam, here some ideas and thoughts/ questions I have
For those metal plate cutters??? You could hang them on the side of the storage from the handle or turn it on the side and use hooks to hold it up.
Would you do a tour around the place. To see what change or still the same. Maybe give some funny or memorable stories you have along the way
Could you also tell us about some custom storage you have made that was change to improve or was strapped
Have you thought to make an inventory of your stuff just to have in hand
Have you have any thoughts on magnets like fav magnetic tools or how it help improve something
Also is your glasses bifocal or something because sometime when it the light there a straight line going along it. And wanted to know how you and the rest is doing.
Thanks for reading. Bye
Hey Adam, Love your vids but you should try adding a laser pointer to you phone camera so you can have a guiding line to help frame shots.
Love most of the episode! BUT the sheet metal storage at near eye level is a face/eye hazard - sheets, edge on, are hard to see, and bending over to quickly access stuff below it is an accident waiting to happen. Especially if any oversize sheets inevitably end up there, even temporarily.
Even though Adam wears glasses, others in the workshop, including visitors might not. Strongly suggest rethinking that part of the new storage!
I have a question as much as you like puppets when are you going to talk about dark crystal age of resistance
ADAM!!!!! You're holding out on us! Where did you get the glorious oversized self propelled Swiss army knife on the shelf?? Show and tell time..... PLEASE!!! Knowing you there is an awesome story behind that
My hope is when things get back to normal, that this style of one day builds continues. It feels so spontaneous and authentic. So much more engaging. I love production values but these videos have felt like I'm literally hanging out with Adam.
I couldn't agree more!
Love it 2!
Absolutely aggree
Agree 100%
I feel this to my core. Always entertaining you learn something almost everytime. You get the Adam without a production crew and producer. It literally the badass that is the real raw genius that is Adam freaking savage. Like you can't tell me this hasnt been the best. Cuz its been 10x better then best. So much background info about Mythbusters so many personal stories about his life and career. Fun to watch you go about one day builds and the raw process behind it. Like the comicon costume builds are always fantastic. But even ones like this video where you are basically cleaning the shop its relaxing and just cool to watch its like a tour into the shop and into the mind that is Adam. 100000% agree
Jamie: I like to have everything perfectly organised and have its own place.
20 years later
Adam: Ok i get it now
I was thinking the same thing watching the video.
And all of us totally read it in their voices
I can appreciate the home brewed storage, but, as a mechanic, I almost cringe. I too have my own shop, and have a love for boxes, bins and drawers, but, I have a preference for actual tool chests, of which I have a few. I have a service cart with the tools that I use the absolute most, which I can push around the shop to whatever I am working on. The chests are flat topped with 1⅜ thick butcher block tops. Each drawer is dedicated to a specific type of task (diagnostic tools, power tools, files, cutting tools etc) locker with shelves for blow molded cases. Long story short, neat and organized. No matter what I do, I can blindly reach out and grab whatever I need without wasting time searching. Several of my colleagues have copied my system. There's an actual standard process called 5S (google it) that I have adapted to the shop. The thought behind 5S is that no matter what shop you go to, everything is in the same place. This process is widely used in Hospitals to streamline operations by eliminating wasted time. Searching for tools or attachments is a monumental time killer.
Adam has been rejecting Jamie's reality and substituting his own... until now.
Well except the handwriting on the boxes in Mythbusters matches Adam's. Jamie's biggest complaint with Adam was about precision.
Is anyone else here entirely hypnotised by the motorised Swiss Army knife in the background whenever it’s in frame?
look on eBay they come up from time to time for about $750 and up
I keep thinking there’s some sort of creature descending from the ceiling when I catch the shadow out of the corner of the frame, then I remember the knife and feel a fool
yes, especially when you speed it up to music
I am like Adam. I have a clutter. I occasionally realize I have a clutter, so I reorganize my clutter into a different pattern of clutter and then wallow in my joy of de-cluttering.
My clutter will assimilate your clutter faster than the Borg at a Cyberman convention, thus forming the ilClutter!
u may be like adam, but you will NEVER be as good as adam.
@@bee1978 Adam is good at a lot of things, but there will always be someone who does something better. There is no need to push anyone down to make someone seem higher.
@@andy-in-indy Well said!
Until eventually you run into a job that requires a tool that you most likely use only a few times a decade, and it's stashed deep inside the new clutter, and then you wallow in your own misery, I know the feeling.
Adam's videos in the cave have had a profound impact on my life. He being a few months older than I accomplishing so much with such enthusiasm inspires me more and more with each new video. I have felt old and washed up but now I see my age means nothing and it's not too late to get back into building and learn new skills. Thank you Adam and the people of Tested.
You got inspired to change the oil on your bike. ALL BY YOUR SELF !
09:00 Disappointed you called the box 'HANDWHEELS & MACHINE HANDLES' instead of ' *A WHEELY HANDY BOX* '.
_Officially the top comment._
or a "handy wheely box"
@@Everfalling:
I'm okay with either placement of the wheelies and handies, as long as it's called a boxie woxie... OwO
Took me a while to get it! Lol! I need sleep
😂These are brilliant and notated for future use I'm sure! 😉
I appreciate these videos so much! As someone with ADHD I find the philosophy behind “reducing friction” to get to a task is hugely helpful! Not to mention, seeing a process completed in a day is super satisfying
I totally agree as someone who lives with ADHD also this is super helpful for wrapping my brain around how to better my shop and work area and so is satisfying seeing it done so fast.
Freakin' tell me about it. I'm literally on _drugs_ to keep 'friction' and 'obstacles' (some even imagined or invented) from combining to render me completely unable to function. The human mind can be a real sonuvabitch sometimes. 😑
after the last time i moved, i ended up having to go in and out of boxes to get out my crafting and sewing things when i have a project because i no longer have a dedicated space to have all my things organized on shelves as i did in my previous studio. not only the "maker lag" of needing to find the right box for each supply first to even know what i have on-hand, but finding myself putting off things because of how much of a hassle it is to hunt down things in the box monsters has caused me several times to get upset and simply not want to do the things i love, so proper organization and layout for ease of access can be a HUGELY useful thing for getting and staying motivated to work on things.
@@TheMichigami im a Brain too and I moved in last August and I didn't have a system in my last apartment but it was spacious so I wasn't forced to, but now in a much smaller apartment im barely out of boxes even now and getting a system has been so slow because its had to happen so piecemeal and I have reeeally noticed the way my brain will get excited for a project and then as soon as I walk in or think about it I'm already over it because of the hurdles to even get started or continue a project
I have adhd as well and I believe Adam does as well. We think alike in some way sort or form. Us ADHD people got to stick together!
Interesting fact: It's not a timelaps. This is Adam's real speed.
Interesting fact: it's timelapse
@@wingedpartypanties Interesting Fact: You dont need to be a dick all the time.
I kinda think Adam is fast like a sprinter and constant, enduring, and hardworking like a marathon runner.
It’s gotta be that or there are two or three Adams... I can’t see how one normal person does all the stuff he does, and knows all the stuff he knows.
He moves at such speeds that the camera is actually a hyper focused slow-mo cam for the parts where he moves "Normally" and the slow-mo bros are hoping to buy the camera one day.
@@axlent123 Adam is, in fact, a wizard that has used the 7th level illusion spell Simulacrum
half an hour of watching an old man faffing around in his workshop - this is so 2020.Thank you Mr Savage
“Old man”
I know , he’s the same age as me 😂
No body Haven’t you heard being 100 is the new 80, biff...young people these days
Old man ???
When he said first he had to walk the dog, I thought it was a euphemism. Then Maggie showed up.
I'm loving solo Adam content. It's interesting to see his artistic visions shine through to the directing, camera, and editing choices!
Why I love Adam Savage.. He's crazy enough to be excited by a shelf..
Why I watch Adam Savage - He shows me why I should be excited by a shelf
And when everything goes wrong, you see why...no cut outs. Just Adam doing his own things
I love watching Adam's giant Swiss Army knife dance when he slips the video into time lapse. :D
23:03 Brilliant 🤣🤣
I find the lack of removable toothpick disturbing for some reason.
I was going to comment this
I think that Adam's shop is the perfect depiction of the human mind.
Especially his mind
He is well of enough to be able to afford the stuff he want so yes. Others more strapped for resources need to make do with compromises. Well he is strapped for room in is workshop thou.
@@michaelpettersson4919 This has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. My comment is a Metaphor for how cluttered your mind is and how we pull things (knowledge) out of multiple places and cable together ideas and images.
@@williamwinder3466 What I meant was that yes you can look at the workshop as a reflection of his mind so yes I do agree with you. What I ment with that he can afford it is that it works to do that. Someone that must make do with what they can get are harder to read in that respect. It is like that it doesn't matter how good fashion sense you got if you are down on your luck and have to wear whatever clothes a charity give you.
This really reminds me when I took over a custom cabinet shop several years ago. There was scrap ply and solid rail stock piled everywhere. I took a few days and built areas not much different than what Adam has done here, only on a larger scale. I can share his excitement, it was very gratifying to see that everything had a place. It improved productivity, and dramatically saved on material in the long run. I no longer work at the cabinet shop but I go back and visit from time to time. What I did for the most part is still in use or modified slightly for the current shop Forman.
This is so deeply me im practically emotional over it. Its humbling and helpful to watch adam conquer the issues i currently have with such passion. Ive got a largely inherited shop i just cannot get on top of, and i do exactly this every single day
Adam: I just found the best way for me to work is being super organized and having a special place for every tool and supply to live in the shop, it helps with not slowing down my creativity or productivity.
Jamie: Insert Picard face plam meme here.
Adam: I also just found working in spotless white dress shirts helps keep me from making a giant mess when I work.
Jamie: Oh Hell we really did slip into an alternate universe didnt we?
18:55 The crew is really killing it with the editing on these things. Lol
Was really good :)
Adam is my spirit animal. My wife watches me watching these videos and she thinks I am mad. She doesn't get it. Bear in mind she will then go and vegetate for hours binge-watching some trash tv. I love how Adam personifies the line between chaos and order and that even though he is manically obsessive over where things live and in what order (I get that is primarily because he wants first-order retrievability) he gets so excited that he rushes around and smashes the place up. As a risk manager I find myself both fascinated and horrified by his workshop and as a slightly compulsive, far from OCD, but a tidy freak/minimalist I can totally understand his desire to organise and then organise again. He has built himself his own personal torment like Sysiphus (funny how he made the lego model of that) where he comes to the shop every day and has to push the boulder up the hill (tidy and organise) only for him to mess it up and then start all over again. It's beautiful! :)
When he said "you dont want to sit here and watch this" regarding going through his chunk drawers and organizing/deciding what to keep.... I actually really wanted to watch that. He probably had a story about every little crumb he found in them... I could watch videos formatted around just that concept alone. Just digging through nooks and crannies of his shop and talking about everything he finds, while simultaneously giving life lessons and tidbits of knowledge lol.
Adam sounds like he's more satisfied about his new chunk storage than I've been about anything in my entire life...
The key to a happy life.
He feigns that satisfaction at the end of every build. Everything is his favorite tool, material, way to do something, thing to say....blah, blah, blah.
“You don’t want to sit there and watch this...”
Oh Adam, you under estimate me.
I really appreciate that you explain how inconvenient tool placement inhibits your progress and causes hesitation for the next project step. I struggle a lot with this and seeing someone else identify and handle the problem is inspiring.
My husband and I are packing our house to move. Adam, I feel these struggle of what to keep and what to donate/throw away from the maker's mentality. I can find a possible use for EVERYTHING!
There's a giveaway pile? What is in said "giveaway" pile? Do we call dibs or how does this work?
It's only available to Tested employees and his friends/family..
Love these video. Thank you Adam and the Team at Tested for the joy you bring in these shitty times
It’s just incredibly fascinating watching your brain work and figure things out!! You move so fast and deliberately. Adam you really are a marvel of humanity ✨
These videos of you working in and organizing your shop are supremely captivating. At the end when you do the time-lapse of the clean-up it is like a perfect ending to a great novel. Thank you for this great content and I hope you are able to create much, much more.
Hey Adam, can you do a video on how you designed your shop storage around future proofing further growth?
I vaguely recall him mentioning how little room he has, so he has perhaps resigned himself to not growing. Assuming he wouldn’t want to move, that is
@@TeamRelsonGracieFL I took it to mean things like getting a new tool that should go on a shelf/rack that's already full, because it was built to hold the existing tools with no extra space - I've been wondering how often that happens at least!
I know what you mean. Like alphabetizing your library and then adding a book.
Most of the tools he has aren’t some crazy designs and most of the holders are reasonably universal. So, if he buys a new tool it likely can fit into the old holder. He also is so good at building the racks and holders that if he needed more spots it wouldn’t take much to just redo it. And, he often has new ideas about a better way to do something so it gives him the chance to reorganize to incorporate new stuff as well as make it better.
@@KevinHillofDOOM *... When the shelving you built to hold your library was made exactly to size :P
I'm pretty sure shop infrastructure builds are some of my favorites
Thank you for captions!
It's very fun and entertaining to watch Adam rearrange his shop. When his thinking what to do and engages into his project, he looks like a mad doctor perfecting his creations. I love your channel and watching you at work Mr. Savage. Props to you.
Nothing says "I need to organize" better than every time you touch something, something else hits to floor.
I felt this in my bones...
Adam is like an opposite to celebrities going rotten with time. Such a ease watching him do stuff.
@@ChipsChallenge95 i call bs on that one
@@ChipsChallenge95 mate go STFU even Adam's mum has said it is BS
This video is everything for me. The organization, creativity, and watching Adam's brain work. Simple perfection.
I've been Really enjoying the great number of videos you guys have been able to put out during the lockdown. Thanks!
LOVE this man. He starts digging in his stuff and "going on" to himself. It reminds me of the cliché of Wile E. Coyote ass-up-head-down in a chest tossing things out to come out with THE ONE THING he was looking for. How is this SO entertaining for me? I guess it's because I'm a maker as well.
7:36 Adam is think dancing and we can't see it!
The real catharsis for me was seeing the whole place cleaned and tidied up. Thank you for the great content, your passion makes it highly relatable!
I am Really appreciative these one day builds, as a Laid off Aircraft Technician I think these videos really help motivate me to clean and organize my tools and kit.
Adam "tidying" his sheet stuff up sounds like a burglary going on......
Seriously though, these videos have kept me going through lockdown in the UK. Thank you Adam, you helped so much
"THIS DEFINITLY NOT! I have enough aluminum! , actually that is a really nice chunk....." love you Adam!
These videos make me feel like the world is not as terrible as I fear. I feel like this is a person is dedicated to improving themselves and the world around them. On top of all that they have a fantastic skill for enthusiasm. It is my goal to emulate and nurture these qualities within myself. 💗💗💗
Sorting and organising is so therapeutic! Great solution for a small mess
22:14 - "make a thing for holding a thing". Gödel would like word with you.
"I'm about to pop this new rack in temporarily and see how it goes..." Did the fighter pilot machinist rack call for a little more positive affixation or do you think those two screws will handle the upcoming abuse?
Lol, if it needs more than two screws, you did it wrong.
Awsum video Adam love your enthusiasm and excitement, I'm living in a small flat with my partner in the United kingdom and started to get some dewalt tools I need and other stuff as love to build and make things and solving problems with new ideas. Love your videos keep up the excellent work and stay safe
Did this a week ago with plastic miniature bits, the now empty boxes the miniatures came in, and the associated rulebooks. Feels really good.
Grandma used to come to our farm and clean up Dad’s workshop. It would look great but then we couldn’t find anything! It was organized chaos
Dude, having been a machinist: You're a machinist at this point. If anyone throws a fit over you using a word then they need to check their ego.
Many geniuses weren't realized until long after they passed away because of this same thing
I spent the last four days reorganizing -my- shop, and I've come to really appreciate your comment that "Drawers are where tools go to die." And I have many shelves full of "Tasty chunks", and nothing is findable. It is now time for some serious thought and rework.
I need to find a way to watch Adam while I'm in my workshop. His enthusiasm for organising and actually getting shit done is infectious.
"Your project isn't done until you've cleaned up after yourself." - Cyberia Makerspace Members Handbook
I really like this! I going to adopt that for my own workspace.
My favorite version is the job isn’t done til the tools are put away
Unless you are an electrician and the customer rather clean up themself then to have to pay for that extra time.
Hi Adam, it looks like you still have your new lathe tool rack (temporarily) attached with just 2 screws. I'd hate to see your dial indicators meet the floor.
Adam Savage is a hero. anyone who promotes building and creation like this deserves the best the world has to offer. much love to the maker and here's hoping i can be just like him one day after lots of hard work and learning!
😂 grabs items and talking about if really needs keep them, then proceeds to talk himself into keeping the pieces. That’s how my brain works too. Very relatable 😆
11:52 lolirl...never thought I'd hear Adam say anything like this.
"Do I really need to store this...or this? This definitely not. I have enough alumin-actually that's a really nice chunk..."
I go through this on a regular basis.
I love how you see potential in every material, no matter what it is, and what size or shape it is.
This is DEFINITELY something I have a problem with! I have so many random materials and tools that need a place, but they just dont have the perfect spot yet. Love everything you do, always motivates me to create!
And now, I'm sitting here watching Adam Savage tidying his Workshop while procrastinating myself and getting less done. Does collecting Ideas count as working? No 🙄
Yes and no. Yes on the respect that "pre-planning" is a valuable past-time and "no" if you you never implement those plans. BTW... BTDT
45 seconds into this video I already want to know more about that "dialing in" of the lathe chucks.
Likely loosening the chuck backplate and indicating it in by tapping. Usually enough slop in the backplate to get things moved a few thou.
Yep. It’s a process of getting the chuck centered and flat on the backing plate. Almost impossible to do fine machining if the chuck is off center.
This whole series is inspiring. I've not got a machine shop but gosh materials are such a pain to sort and if you can't see it, it doesn't exist
This sparks joy
Good luck with the things going on in your life.
at first i thought it said "aluminium chunky chunks: for munching!" 😅
That's my new favorite metal album
Awesome Work!!
sure is fun to watch people work!
0:00 here in my garage...
I love Adam in full manic organization mode.
Love this! Please keep making more storage stuff like this!!
After reading a few blogs from your sister, omg. I just cant keep watching. Good Riddance.
Love your organisation and dedication to it! :)
This was a great video for inspiration, cause I definitely have too much crap stuffed into my shop. Your stash, however, is next level for CPCI (Crap Per Cubic Inch). It is very cool to see even a small section of SUPERB organization, when you start with total chaos.
This reminds me of the time I took all my coffee cans, jars, and other containers of nails, screws, bolts, washers, nuts, and everything else. Dumped them all out. And sorted out the stuff to keep and the huge pile of stuff to get rid of.
It was of no use to me, if I couldn't find it. It was taking me longer to find things, than it was to actually do the job I was going to do. And it was all common stuff that I could pick up at any hardware store if I needed it for a project. There was no need to bury everything else under it all, to maybe use it in 5 years.
I did the same with all my coffee cans. Turned my back and someone started hiding shit in them again. Is it wrong to lock your family out of your shop?
I am really enjoying these videos
I have three small workshops - and I mean small! My garage is 16 x 8 and has a lathe, mill, garage tools etc plus a Harley and my lads small bike! The wood shop is 10 x 20 but also stores one of my push bikes and all my camping gear and my last shop is 12 x 14 but an odd shape and thats where the dirt happens (Not what you are thinking - just welding forging and grinding) - so I have to be super organised with my stuff. Some great ideas in your shop which I will be hijacking for myself - keep em coming!
I love the "speed holes" in the tool shelf brackets!
Excellent Shoptimization!
Keep the videos coming!
I really like this video for some reason. I need to find time to do something like this.
I love how you take it one step at a time.
Inspires me to clean my mini shop!! Thx Adam
Adam; "There will be order."
Universe; "Dude, We've seen your Man Cave."
I really enjoy watching the way Adam's brain works through solutions
Adam I dream of having a shop like yours one day everything has a place and is easy to find and use I love your videos so much you have been a huge inspiration in my life love you man 🤙🏼♥️
I absolutely love how this guy thinks. If he needs it he builds it.
Love the light underneath the cubby hole
Adam, you constantly fail to understand exactly how much i could watch you do random tasks and be completely happy in doing so.
one minute into the vid already hooked 👍👍👍
Thank you, Sir for showing your full thought process to include the not so good thoughts that you change, showing your mistakes, and showing us that we have to continually change even our work spaces to allow for better growth! It is very much appreciated!
Great to see the part where you clean up the shop as I always wondered how you kept the shop clean. Weird I know, but I just always wondered.
Adam thanks for doing these videos, it’s allowing me to visualize my new shop and how to organize it before I even start building it. 👍
What plywood do you use for your shelving?
The Adam Savage drinking game
Every time he said tasty chunks do a shot
Love this video so much
I’ve been feeling kinda guilty for spending more time organizing, than actually crafting or making, this makes me so much more validated because with the work I’m putting in, the time digging for tools and supplies will be much less. So nice to see a fellow tinkerer’s brain at work!
Thanks for this. After watching these types of videos I never realised how unorganised my workspace was. Time to get it sorted.
I see you draw up even your quick builds for drawers and other one-offs in your notebook. Can you detail how you use/incorporate the notebook into every build?
Small shops get messy instantly. I so agree with hat. I've got a half of a 2 car garage to work in. Which really turns into about a quarter of that, with all my kids baseball gear and scooters in it. I had to build an extra table to take outside just to do some things!
Thanks for keeping me entertained Adam, love your videos!
