Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Star-Lord's Walkman!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Adam's latest prop build is a replica of Star-Lord's Walkman from Guardians of the Galaxy! This is a styrene scratch build using some of Adam's favorite modelmaking materials and techniques. And a few firsts for a One Day Build--the use of a vinyl cutter for the logos, as well as a minor injury mid-build!

Thanks for watching!
That thing is probably worth more then a real one, just because you made it :)
I was thinking the same thing - and even if the final prop isn’t worth that, him spending a day in the shop working on literally anything is worth more than $400
the real one i have sitting in front of me is worth $1000
And also.. If you plant birdseed, birds won't grow out of the ground.. Unless you water it.
No.
i was thinking the same thing
Adam: I can't justify a $400 walkman.
Also Adam: *Goes ahead and ruins a pelican case*
I laughed at that too, but I'll go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt and say that it's possible he had that on hand for materials and it wasn't really in use anymore.
But makes how much from the views he gets saving $400?
Its just a small chunk. More like a scuff.
If adam can afford to buy a spectral prop suit and gun that is valued at couple of thousand bucks a walkman is a drop in the ocean, but also he's not likely to wear that for a con is he ?
Wow. Lots of replies. I do realize he can afford them, and making is fun and perfect for content. It just seems like a Pelican case would be one of his favorite items, since he loves storage. Plus they're basically a forever item with how durable they are, so it didn't make sense to use it IMO.
That said, he does what he wants. who cares. just thought it was kind of funny.
I would have added a small cheap mp3 player, so that it has at least one small function
Why? An MP3 player isn’t relevant to Starlord’s character or story....
@@Spazza42 because it's a walkman. A Walkman was a device to play music. An the Music is relevant for Starlord
That was the one thing I was waiting for, actually. Sony marketed the Walkman as giving you the soundtrack of your life, so it would be extra awesome to be able to play Vol1 while walking around in costume... 😎
@@BTVRhoenrad That’s not the point of character.
His Walkman was given to him by his mother who made mixtapes of all the songs she listened to growing up so he could experience them as well, it’s his childhood connection to her. If he wanted a functioning Walkman he’d have been better off buying a real one, not building one.
The Zune is only relevant because it was intended as a gift from Yondu. It was given during a moment of clarity of who his real dad was, and to replace his conveniently broken Walkman.
MP3’s have nothing to do with it aside from giving a prop a function, even though an MP3 player would be a pointless cost.
@@Spazza42 man shock people are allowed differences of opinion lol. an unseen, completely hidden mp3 wouldnt compromise the build imo.
I absolutely love the fact that Adam, despite all his tremendous success, is still very much a regular cosplayer when con season hits.
I don't know. He's referred to himself as a celebrity in a previous video and now instead of a plain black shirt, he wears one with his name on it. Just saying.
@@laterix Well, stating facts isn't hubris or self promoting or anything. He IS a celebrity. The shirt is already explained. Many people with their own companies wears their own company shirts.
Exactly ... this clearly is a man that does what he loves doing and nothing more to it. It's just beautiful.
because its his hobby, he enjoys it
@@laterix He said he'd rather build the Walkman than pay for an actual vintage one, when he could obviously afford it. This is why i still have a lot of respect for the dude. It's not about being cool or being the perfect cosplayer, it's about the joy of making things, and Adam still very much has that energy.
Can i just say the rustic charm of Adam's shop is amazing... like as you look around you can see anything from gatling guns to space suits, from countless tool racks to numerous shape crafting mechanisms... it brings a smile to my face to see the organized mayhem of all the beautifully crafted doodads and trinkets around Adam's shop
Looks even better in VR on the Oculus Quest where Adam takes you on a tour of his workshop. Just wish I had one with all the tools and materials he has. Just jaw dropping.
Regular-sized, prop-making Hagrid.
I think the workshop is also called his "Man Cave", maybe that explains the aesthetic.
@@Jierk no offence but i thought he had a back room to the workshop and that was the man cave, just a friendly conversation but what do you think of this statement?
@@robertmalone1694 So I read the description and re-watch the intro of "Tour of Adam Savage's Cave!" and apparently the entire building is considered his cave.
Me: i don't know if I have enough time to watch this 35 minute video
*35 minutes later*
Me: Ah crap
Me too, exactly.
Just watch at double speed when in doubt?
Siana Gearz I don’t understand how people watch videos or listen to podcasts at higher than normal speeds. It sounds so unnatural and is harder to follow.
@@AlasdairGR Depends. To me, most people talk too slowly and aren't economical with time, i can speed them up by 25-50% and it would still be fine, especially if they aren't conveying any information that is too challenging to process. Of course there are opposites, the guy doing biotech and physics science videos at The Thought Emporium, who i wish spoke on average 20% slower, but unfortunately time-stretching audio never works quite as well as time-compressing it.
And sure, the sound is never entirely natural, but it is more intelligible than for example text-to-speech voice synthesis. You'll just get used to it.
Double speed tends to be a bit borderline and sometimes you have to rewind.
me, too…😂
I lost it at the pelican case "Ah a thing, it's the right colour, BANDSAW!"
"Yea let me just destroy this perfectly fine case for the button! What a logical solution!"
If you use quotations, be sure to actually be quoting something. Otherwise, use these little guys ' '
I wonder what the comparable ebay costs are between an OG walkman and that case alone.
Coworker sees the mangled case: Adam, what happened to the case?
Adam: I cannibalized it for a walkman.
Coworker: Okay.
I cant imagine the number of other things in shop thats missing random small chunks or pieces. hahaha
Those mad eyes when Adam says, "I CAN BUILD IT OUT OF STYRENE." Were priceless.
Dice Punk lmao, that’s why i love watching adam build or create anything. he gets so genuinely excited and adam’s love for the machines, materials, and tools he owns/amassed over the years really shows. he’ll explain how it all works in an easy way for most viewers to understand. he also has learned to genuinely be proud of his work, which for a lot of people is hard.. as we all critique ourselves so hard, lol. always have looked up to him, all around just a good ass person.
@@urcutejeans- I feel the same way. And I always pick up something new by watching him, even if he's done something before, there are a lot of small tricks he does unconsciously that he doesn't mention.
It's made me a better maker and hobbyist as a result.
i thought styrene was a gas byproduct of the cataclysm of MEKP and fiberglass resin....

"Has anyone seen my orange toolbox? I left it right here."
Hello, pelicans products how can I help you?
Hi, this is Adam Savage im calling about the no questions asked lifetime warranty on an orange pelican case.
Adam, we've seen the one day build video.
Haha!!
"This is the most fun part of the build, finding chunks of crap you've kept around the shop forever and figuring out how they fit into your build". Beautiful master builder wisdom.
Well put. Indeed.
Or hoarder
and when you find it you fucking knew that someday you will need it !
People call me a hoarder
@@ajtee721 My Dad calls me that all the time. Then I show him a project where I used a piece of crap from years ago and he says "oh, cool! You're still a hoarder."
I would love to hear the story of the "dressing or undressing prohibited" sign... Please!
I thought I was the only one looking at that, lol!
@@NONIMNO nope, I had hoped we got enough likes to get the story but so far... It remains a mystery. Lol
It's very likely intended to tell people they cant change clothes somewhere, like at the poolside or on the beach itself.
@DarylMorning I was watching a video about the story of that just before watching this. If you haven't seen it here is it. ua-cam.com/video/W38HXRhsLAo/v-deo.html
im gonna become a patreon just so I can ask him this for you
The Perfect Orange Button.
What did it cost?
*Everything*
@Eric Bowman HEY!
Who else will probably never build this, but just loves seeing Adam work in his shop?
XYZ Create, almost everyone, lol.
Me.
99% of viewers will not build this...
Well no i won't ever make this, but seeing him doing his thing and techniques is always valueable for any project.
Shoorit far more than 99%, but that’s not what these videos are about. They’re about materials and techniques.
This dude said “damn Daniel” un-ironically in 2019 😳
Awesome video
well it was nice to hear Adam calling me
That defentily was ironical.
@@5uperM Take off the al. Ironic
Same
The moment he said it I went straight to the comments.
Tools are no more than fleshy hand detectors. You know that you've found a hand when the red stuff starts leaking, and no it's not transmission fluid.
That smacks of an AvE quote...
@@ChozoSR388 spot on, I certainly have heard AvE refer to hammers as thumb detectors
Actually I think it does qualify as transmission fluid based on the fact without any in the pan you ain't movin'.
@ then I guess it's like every automotive fluid except for washer fluid.
Don't forget some people run on blinker fluid, LoL 😆
Adam: "I'm going to use overkill to make this tape cassette hole!"
*cuts to shot of minigun*
Whenever I watch these videos I'm like, "Does he ever make mistakes or cut himself?" I'm glad you showed us that you did. It seems more real.
Are you joking? Adam injures himself on a daily basis.
For me, i think that these come by default/accidents and we`re all in the same ring. :)
It’s impossible to be making all his stuff and not make mistakes/get injured
||-//
Yea if you watch his videos regularly you know it's probably a common thing. He doesn't have the best safety measures when working
It seems like you haven't watched mythbusters in awhile
Why not put a small iPod/mp3 player inside with the mix tape on it and have the headphones connect to that?
Or maybe bluetooth so you can change songs with your phone!
Thats what i was thinking then it would be more like him to have better technology in an old body of tech
Maybe even a Zune. I hear it's what everyone is using on earth these days.
I'm going to assume it's because Adam would then want to make the buttons on the outside work with the MP3 player (breaking it down, rewiring, etc.), and although he would love overkill builds like that, probably too much for a one day build
It would be an awesome project to make all the buttons function to control an mp3.
Cutting up a $500 pelican case for a walkman that originally cost 29 bucks
Its the original Sony Walkman. It was very very expensive when it first released
And now it’s $400...what’s the point of this comment
@@mikeledger2614 that the Walkman did not originally cost $29? It was over $500 when it was released if you adjust for inflation
He just took a chunk out of the handle. Case is still sound.
Adam probably got that pelican case from Craigslist for way less then $500. Its probably old too
12:36
14:28
Adam Savage eureka moments/noises.
Yeah, usually when I make the noise at 14:28, my next words are "Thank you so much, babe, that felt amazing!"
I think you would have been better off throwing a MP3 player or Ipod in there so it was functional. Had a of all the music
...Zune???
Great idea. I think I would do an arduino based MP3 player, which isn't a whole lot of work or cost. I would say that because you could wire up real buttons to this thing and make it actually functional.
Hell you could even wire up an led power light and a motor to make the tape move.

Adam: I SAWED THIS PELICAN CASE IN HALF
That's a lot of damage! And I'm gonna fix it using only flex tape
old case that he most likely got on ebay for 20-ish$
I wonder if Disney regrets giving Sony product placement in this movie lol
@Sheepskin Mcgrue It was probably a good deal for both then, and it still is. The Walkman as well as the music are iconic items of the shameless flirt with the 1980s.
@Sheepskin Mcgrue they do now
@Sheepskin Mcgrue If Disney Records is smart, they should throw more cassette tapes on the market.
I think he's talking about the whole sony/ spidermans deal, not the actual walkman
@@Prime501 that would be a Zune.

"I NEED AN ORANGE BUTTON!!"
Shoves Pelican case into bandsaw
cant justify 400$ for the working walkman , puts like 600$ of his own time into making a damn good prop. i can respect that lol
Those theoretical $600 is insignificant compared to what he'll earn from the video(so far about 1 million views in just 8 days), so he didn't lost anything of his own time, making these videos is "his job".
@@E_y_a_l the point of my comment went over your head ....
@@-CLASSIFIED- No it didn't, the basis of your comment is just wrong, he didn't lost any money and didn't spent any of "his own time" by creating the prop, this is his job, just like other successful youtubers who are creating content and making money out of it, this is what he does for a living, you wouldn't comment in a pewdiepie video about him losing money and spending "his own time" by creating his videos, right?
What we see in the video is a man working, yes, he's having fun and likes what he does, but it's still his job, the only difference between him and someone working in an office or a factory is that Adam got a camera pointed at him.
He can't justify spending $400 for the working walkman, that doesn't contradict justifying EARNING money by creating a prop, in one case he losses money, in the other case he earns it, so there's no contradiction, he made the obvious and right choice.
You wanted to compliment him, I get that, but your statement was wrong, don't hate me for correcting you.
He probably has or bought the real thing anyway
@@BavarianM You can be rich and frugal at the same time.
You should totally do "One Day build with a fan" i'd love to hear someone asking you questions about your build process all day. Interested in how you do everything!
Sounds like less fun for Adam than the fan
you mean,have Norman be more often on the One-Day Builds?
@@redstar96gr57 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Hematoph Why, it's basically just a funny man straight man setup but with someone who's a master and someone who's learning.
He just released a book about that.
Hey Tested, is it possible for the audience to get the dimensions of the different parts so we can assemble our own Walkman?
Probably of the tested premium plataform. Wouldn't surprise me
If you know the model of Walkman (TPS-L2) you can get the dimensions fairly easily. After that all you need is images and a micrometer to compare.
Why not just putting in a bluetooth modul?

@@excaliburpower2620 how does it feel being so clever?
99% of cosplayers: I'll look on ebay for a similar Walkman.
Adam Savage: I can make that!
Sony TPS-2 ... Not similar, the exact model.... Also, is anyone going to address that the color is wrong ? Way too deep blue :-)
Covered early in the video due to "Starlord" these Walkman' have a ludicrous price point... $500-$700 for a refurbished and over $350 for "Parts Only"
I bet someone on movie staff have predicted that, bought whole bunch of them and now is selling those on inflanted pricess.
cost of materials, not to mention specialized tools, well in excess of $400 but hey if you love model making
Nothing at all in this build was "Specialized" Adam used a mill because he had one, there is not anywhere near $400 in materials in this build AT ALL, Nothing required specialized material at all, nothing required specialized tools, Tandy Leather Factory offers belt clips that you can just buy...
Adam, make something using only products from a dollar store
and he has to steal all of the materials
dollar stores are garbage value. sure, you get cheap stuff, but compared to buying bulk value it's garbage. it's expensive to be poor
then he uses thousands of dollars of tools on them
@@user-le4bx1jw3f Its like the "make a 3D printer" with a 3D printer that that Ben Hecks boomer made

10:57 The sudden BGM gave me a big fright, for a split second I thought I was going to get rick-rolled and I wondered what I had done to deserve it...
Getting Rick rolled is a reward
I would have definitely bought a cheepo mp3 player and mounted it inside so it really works too.
Its not worth it because he just wants to talk to everybody.
A bt transmitter would be even better.
Wear some air pods inside the headphones
maybe a future addition, there is easily enough space left inside.
"A repeatable, screwable moment"
What a lovely description of most of my life.
I havent seen Adam or Jamie since mythbusters ended and had no idea adam had a channel, but watching this has made my day😊 i love how enthusiastic he still is, and how much fun he has😊
jesus god adam TURN OFF THE SAW BEFORE YOU GRAB THAT BUTTON christ my heart stopped
I know, like seriously you are gonna cut your hand off.
Titanius Anglesmith well, he almost got one of his fingers torn off relatively recently...
@@lemixlemon I'm glad someone spoke about turning the saw off before sticking your hands in or around it.
It makes me cringe so badly when I watch someone trim a small parts using their fingers to hold it next to a saw.
Just... Don't touch the blade. No danger.
I cant watch him around blades. His blaise approach to shop safety stops my heart
I saw his SV Comic Con cosplay video and thought "wow, he got ahold of a real vintage Walkman for his costume". It didn't even occur to me that he could have built it. Fantastic quality work Adam. Props.
As cool as it is.. it bugs me that he didn't put this little Cassette driver wheels inside xD
Was thinking the exact thing...but pulling them off a trashed Cassette player is not in the spirit of the build? They would be hard to recreate.
@@hypnocracy6102 Depending on the detail level, yes.. I guess I would just take some pieces off of a wood or plastic stick, shape it a bit, make three silver lines on them... shouldn't take more then 15-20 minutes :D
Or use little black lego wheels ..
I really like that his videos don't have that standard annoying music that plays on DIY builds these days!!!
Edit: Oh Here It Comes 11:00 !!! Actually, it's not so bad.
What do you expect? Making the walkman and NOT playing the mixtape?
and as always the music is at least 3 times louder than Adam talking .. i wonder if they do it to really piss off people wearing headphones
It’s a bit awkward when he’s not saying anything and we’re just watching him work. Maybe a little quiet background music would be nice. Something that fits to the build?
I love that 80s sound! any ideas on where he got it? I can't find any clues.
But....you can’t listen to Fleetwood Mac on Styrene
There was a moment part way through when I thought "I bet he could have also modded a different cassette player to look like this one."
The buttons probably wouldn't have been in the right place though.
I bet you could make it work with a tiny mp3 player like a Sansa. Tiny hidden USB charger/updater for it
*Cuts off a piece of toolbox*
"When in doubt, use what's about."
Adam needs to go check out the puppets for the new Dark Crystal show on Netflix by Jim Hensons company. They are amazing and I need more info on them.

@@Tater_Lord or anyone who's been on the internet.
I came into the comments just to say the same thing.
Shop injuries can really take the momentum out of a project, glad it wasn't worse!
With the blue and silver finish I keep thinking of G1 Soundwave!
I was actually just wondering if anybody has simply substituted a Soundwave for a Walkman (or making a prop of one) for a Starlord costume. :)
Average person: saves up for months to buy a Pelican case.
Adam Savage: slices up a Pelican case to make an orange button.
Why save for months? They aren't that expensive.
Yeah, found one that looks like the one in the video for like $60.. Not that much compared to average shop equipment prices. Especially one as big and as stuffed as Adam's.
Still I'd prolly just paint it proper color instead, but it's not like a holy grail of cases was destroyed for it?

@@xnonsuchx Huh? I print rough sculpts I've done in zbrush all the time to make molds with. Of course I have to account for some filler and sanding followed by a sealer to make a smooth complete surface but it most definitely isn't garbage after a little bit of work. If it were a one off I could easily use the printed piece after being filled/sanded/primed for a final paint job but I generally want a batch made from the mold and keep that printed and worked piece as a master along with the digital files.
Watching you clone a 1979 Sony Walkman was one of the most interesting things so far. Now I want one just to have one. Damn it.
Orange button time: you WHAT?!?! Wow, dedication XD
Always remember to squeeze bleed puncture wounds. Don't want any nasty contaminates hiding deep in the puncture where the disinfectant can't reach!
That depends on how brave you are with the disinfectant :p
just make the cut bigger so the disinfectant can reach!
@@thijnspeksnijder1294 BIG BRAIN
I did not know that. Thank you! :)
A true maker produces his own internal disinfectant.
I watched the Comic Con video first and thought "wow he found the actual Walkman!". That's so good!
omg I really thought he was going to drill into his other hand! :D
I Can't even tell the difference between this and original. Super nice prop.
I love how he does things so naturally and efficient. For example when he cut the board like he does it for breakfast every morning
Adam: "I have absolutely no idea how to go about this very hard part."
Also Adam 0.5 seconds later: "OOH, I HAVE THE BEST IDEA FOR THIS!"
Surprised he didn't gut a modern production cassette player and put it inside so its usable for effect
Not all cassette players have the same mechanic functions. For example the Tps-l2 (walkman used in the movie) has a different tape pulling direction compared to the later made wm-4
I just love how Adam is such a nerd. It makes me so happy. "ORANGE BUTTON"
The whole video I'm wondering, what is Kate working on?
That first coat of blue had me thinking "Soundwave, is that you?" :D
Starlord mask?
I love the passion that goes into everything Adam makes
A true inspiration
"repeatable screwable moment". that how's I live my life.
Hey. Hope you’re doing ok.
Little did Starlord know, the walkman was Soundwave all along, spying on the Marvel universe that abandoned his race.
Without his glasses, Adam looks like a different guy. "Superman/Clark Kent effect?"
Without your mustache, you look like a woman.
For those who don't know about the threaded inserts that Adam is referring to they are called "helicoils".
Doesn't want to spend $400 on a vintage walkman... spends hours of master prop builder shop time making a prop instead. Shop time is worth way more than $400. Butchers a $50-100 pelican case in the process. Pays a professional camera crew to document it and makes loads of dough on UA-cam video of the build process. Goals, man. Goals.
Why spend $400 when you can get paid to make a prop for yourself?
The joy of the creative process...priceless.
This is the perfect type of prop imo. Exactly the kind of thing I love to look at
"Overkill is under-rated."
You forgot the little spindles that sit inside the reels of the cassette that you would see in a real walkman. Fun build though! love these things!
Exactly. Bothered me too. Love 1 day builds nonetheless.
That was something I noticed he skipped too.
Yeah noticed that.
Could've easily gotten some off some cheap junked walkman, glued to another small board.
Came looking for this comment
To be fair, it is just a prop for a cosplay he will probably only wear the one time. Besides, if you ran into him at a con and glanced at the Walkman, would you really stand there and nitpick the Walkman or would you look at the whole cosplay?
I've been using a tamiya scribing tool for cutting styrene. It's safer, cuts deeper, cuts straighter, and leaves a nicer edge.
I’ll have to look into that. Also cool last name haha
@@crimsonvampyre602 thanks, my parents gave it to me haha

You missed a massive detail. When you look at your tape tell me what's missing, what's there to actually turn the tape reels ???
Magic
30:00 '' I'm gonna use a bit of this Pelican case...'' O.o
They are still way cheaper than that Walkman haha and he only nicked a little chunk
A bit of the handle, it still functions as a pelican case.
you omitted the spindles that make the Cassette turn! =/ "oversite"
TO THE GALLOWS!
Yeah this really bugged me too.
Yeah, you could yank the guts out of any old Walkman and have a nicely detailed interior. But for a one-day build, this is pretty damned good.
Yes, looks odd without them (which is a pity as the thing is otherwise really convincing) - even the ends off a couple of old black biro caps , fitted in the cassette holes, would have done to fill in the gaps.
I dont imagine it being impossible being that it assembles from behind. Easy fix should he choose to nit pick later. Excellent build though.
I think this is Adam's 2019 moment. Cosplay is passion. Hours of labor to be on the floor for half the day... PASSION. Smiles during these moments are 100% true. Here's to next yr. Congrats on the upcoming!
turns out the crew of GoG Vol. 2 decided to do the same thing once they realized how high the price of walkmans jumped after the first movie.
fun build :)
I’m curious how much a prop maker costs a production. $400 for a good vintage Walkman, or 8hr (1 day build) at I have to assume
I'd imagine they either took a silicone mould of a real walkman or used some kind of 3D printing
9:10, I thought that was Kari Byron for a moment, got all excited.

Adam: I’m NOT spending all that money on a Walkman I’ll just make it.

Yeah but he already had the tools- he uses them more over time and the walkman would be for just the cosplay
Quick! Put the blood in a tube and cryogenically freeze it so we can clone Adam in the future!
"On today's episode of One Day Clone: Adam Savage."
Oh damn, too late. If only there was a source that had more of Adam's blood somewhere. Guess we'll never get that clone...
I love how he just picked up the the orange case and thought yeah I'll just use that😂😂
I relate to him on a spiritual level. Lol
and those are crazy expensive :O
Probably close to the cost of the actual Walkman... I'm not complaining though. We get a video this way
10:55 That music scared the shit out of me >.
You look like *Dr. Gordon Freeman* in the thumbnail (Half Life)
I mean, he basically IS the walking talking, real life Gordon Freeman. Except with, y'know, an actually personality.
Adam, I have the exact reaction as you do to cutting my hands, and it is absolutely terrifying because I basically go into shock for a bit, and can barely think while blood drains from my face and I get cold sweats, and have to sit down before I pass out.
Thanks for making me see it's not just me 😅
David, I know this isn't the time or place, but I just want to say that your models on MMF are brilliant.
@@lavachemist Aww, thank you! :)
He 100% made more than $400 from this video of building something to save $400.
You should’ve just used some C.A. glue instead of a band aid.
Ok, then just add a little baking soda.
I got distracted by that Firefly poster... What where you making? 😋
An egg
Same for me
Colin Furze and Adam Savage should team up for a project
My head might explode.
Should've taken advise from Techmoan.
I would have loved to see a modification of a real Sony walkman.
Martin's latest Wintergatan Wednesdays mentioned that he was feeling like you when he was showing his new workshop.
YES, another fan!
Interestingly enough, they've both got similar levels of passion, love, creativity, and drive. I watch Martin every Wednesday, yet never realized how similar they both really were. Super cool people building and researching super cool stuff. Good to see other fans!
Such a humble dude. The skills he has and the zone he gets into when he’s doing his work is amazing.
The „panellinecutter“ for 15 Bucks is actually a scaler from the dentist...for like 5 bucks..
Yeah anything specifically related to model making is super overpriced, and generally repurposed from another field. I was looking for 50-100ml dropper bottles for making my own acrylic wash. I found some from a hobby store for 10$ for 3 tiny empty bottles! I went to a vape shop and they had the same bottles for $.50 each.
Should’ve put a MP3 player in it with the movie soundtrack on repeat
Yes, but if he did it, and it was on video, he could get a copyright strike on his channel, plus ya know time, and effort.
I know, I thought for sure he would do that. I think the MP3 players still use the same headphone jack, and they are small enough to make installation trivial.
@@ambulocetusnatans yeah they can be with a shuffle type player, and if he wired the play/pause button up to the fake Walkman play button, but again additional work, time, and money. Plus the point of the video was to show prop making on the cheap, and get people interested.
When he goes ”this is going to be overkill”
I'm thinking ”yeah but that's kinda your thing”
When I see how the piece turns out ”oooh, that's gorgeous overkill”
Also, I cannot tell the difference between sanding sticks and high-quality nail files. Are they the same thing?
I think they are basically the same thing. In one video Adam talked about how he used to stick sandpaper to thin wood in order to get sanding sticks until he realised he could use nail files instead...
A wise man once said, overkill is underrated.
Also, VERY familiar with xacto injuries. They dont hurt at all for the first 10 minutes. then they hurt like a bastard. Still have the scars from architecture school
Same. They just slide right through ya so easy. I’ve gashed myself and not noticed until random blood drips started appearing.
As someone with a few scars on his hands from modelling blades, I winced so hard when Adam talked about it going halfway into his palm
Super glue and accelerator gives a hard protective cover to cuts instead of a sticking plaster.
Some times when cuts are deep and not wide they are hard to clean so in those cases you better not seal them to proper in case you got a floater inside the hand. :P
Yeah for shallow and long cuts superglue is great. Been using it in kitchens for years
I use to do tournament bowling ( I know, so cool ;p ) "back in the day", and just had a new bowling ball drilled for my fingers. Stupid as I was, I first used it in a tournament and got a nasty flesh wound on the side of my thumb from friction over the course of the tournament. So my coach comes over with a small super glue spray bottle and without warning sprayed my thumb with it. Holy shit did that hurt! Mostly the surprise factor of it I'm sure. But it was highly effective and lasted the rest of the tournament without any more paint throughout.
Why am I telling anyone this... Too much coffee.
@@ProxCyde haha just shows how versatile ca can be
You can actually buy "medical grade" superglue, which uses a more human-friendly solvent.
Did you clear it again to make sure the letters didn't rub off?
The Vinyl is quite tenacious.
I didn't actually think you were going to saw the pelican case hahah! this was brilliant, love these videos. Adam is so pure
God we are so bless to have this man on UA-cam. Thank you Adam for continuing to inspire a generation.
I though I am the only one that passes out when I get hurt. What i have learned is my body doesn't handle the adrenaline well Causing me to pass out. A week ago I almost passed out because I got stung by a bee.
13:38 So what is the proper Quill Speed for cutting Peter Quill's Walkman. ;)
