Hey!! I just gotta mention, Adam; earlier this month I ran across an article somewhere that took the tweet you had made with your fake beard on in your shop and wrote an article essentially claiming that you had really let yourself go since leaving mythbusters, or something like that. I immediately emailed the publisher detailing how they were wrong and that you publish videos very regularly and are an avid cosplayer, not Tom Hanks from castaway. I received no response whatsoever - but the next day or so the site had magically updated, and had proper information and even talked about your UA-cam channel and cosplaying hobby. I was pleased to actually see that they fixed it! Sorry for the long comment!
The person who rang the doorbell, when Adam answered it in his beard, must have thought they had the wrong address. Or maybe not, since Adam has probably answered the door before as a Wookie, astronaut, dinosaur, Totoro, etc. His package carrier must never know who (or what) will come to the door!
Hahaha! I thought the same thing. It got me wondering if his relationship with his mailman is something like what Casey Neistat had with Marvin, but with more surprises (if that's possible).
A. Savage, Werewolf; Scene One: Ext. Workshop. Day. A package dude rings doorbell. Door opens. Within, A Savage Werewolf. Package dude (not even skipping a beat or even batting an eyelash): "Package fer ya, Adam. Sign here." A Savage Werewolf (signs for package): "Grr. Aargh." Package dude; "You're welcome. Have a nice day."
Depending on the carrier you might get the same guy or different every time, but most of the time different. If you have a commercial address, you will likely get the same guy as parcel carriers tend to lump commercial addresses into one route that is designated to a driver.
The problem with watching Adam build anything is that even if he has never done it before he makes it look like he's done it a million times. Keep it up everyone. Sometimes its just having the confidence to try it.
that's the irony. what people see is a guy mastering something on his first try when in reality he's had incredible decades of practice at, if not that very task, then related ones but it's because no matter how comfortable he is with it, he's still EXCITED like a newcomer, and still scratches his head like an amateur while coming at the problems.
I kinda had a feeling that was what you were making the beard for, Right Now hand sewing is the only thing I really know how to do. Also Facial Hair Fun Fact: The Pointy Sideburns that you would so often see in Star Trek shows are crepe wool that was carefully color matched with the actor's original hair color and attached with adhesive
Another fun Trek fact: the regular actors grew their own sideburns and had them trimmed into the pointy shape. Mr. Shatner recalled that on one shoot he suddenly realized that he'd forgotten to let his sideburns grow, so the makeup artist cut a mustache in half and spirit-gummed one half to each side.
@@willmfrank Yeah, but a lot of times the actors couldn't do so in time for shooting so the crepe wool/cut up false mustache method was regularly used on the show.
@@DelcoRanz93 Yeah...The guest stars or supporting players might have just come off a spot on "Combat!" or "The Rat Patrol," where they played second world war military personnel or something; they might have the regulation haircut, but the sideburns would be totally absent.
It's not the right configuration... I was just thinking that I'd like to see Adam get the correct fake 'stache, and a good prosthetic cover for his own beard, to cosplay Jamie.
There is this weird skill that Adam has that I'm always impressed by. We see it in a loooot of his videos and yet I never quite understand how he does that. I guess it's probably a skill acquired thanks to his quite extensive career... Yes I'm talking about forgiving himself x')
*my mentat eyebrows and shoulder length sideburns acknowledge your exceptional cleverness in regards to this display of theatrical Bos grunniens whisker augmentation*
It will ease, the pain are sorrow will over time imellow and change into something more positive. Remember the good times with your mum, I am sorry for your loss.
that looks AMAZING. I've always said yak hair makes the best beards, eyebrows, all of that kinda stuff. the fact that it looks so great even without anything else is incredible. The only part that absolutely demands additional spirit gum is the cheeks, and theoretically you could have little stiff parts there that would look convincingly like a beard with deliberately shaved cheeks. also never noticed the flesh tone netting before, I guess if you were darker you'd need to have one made with darker thread
Just found out you’re gonna be at Megacon this year in Orlando! I’m so excited! I’m gonna have to get a picture with you for my dad. We used to watch mythbusters together when I was growing up, so he’d flip!
Omg so funny you say that, I have little more than one minute to get 3 men full costume change moustache off and long beard on, just not sure how mic’s will go 🥴
When I read "wiring" in the title I thought this was going to somehow involve electrical wiring. For example like making a cyberpunk beard with neon lights in it, or LEDs....
Great looking beards. The place that makes those should start offering a wire quick-change version. I'd pay a little more to not have to do the work. I know Adam made it to fit his face, but I'm sure you could create a generic version that would be close enough for most faces...then because it's wire you could adjust it to your own contours.
I think the chin part of the beard would benefit from being cut off and reattached by loops around the Remaining wire that connects up to the mustache so it’s not so rigid
As someone who wore a natural beard of similar length for several years and has since trimmed it down to a more "I actually care how I look" length, I can now say that the ability to simply remove your beard is the way to go.
As soon as I saw the black beard I instantly thought of Rasputin for some reason with Black Beard being a close 2nd. The only downside I see to the wire setup is the mustache doesn't move realistically when you talk. Which really isn't a big deal just noticeable after growing up with a mustache and around lots of people with them.
Please, have you tried building a beard on stockings (panty hose)? I just spoke to a Director of a Community Theater and she said they successfully did that for Fiddler a few years ago. I can't find anything about it online, though!
When Adam had the first beard he sewed to his hand made beard frame on I immediately thought of the Soggy Bottom Boys on the movie O Brother Where Arth Thou
Adam, The beards make your crooked nose more apparent, did you break it or is it naturally like that? The major problem with wiring a beard like that the mustache doesn't move when you talk.
Not seen the whole video yet, but I can already tell I'm going to use some tricks from it to help with my own costume needs. I purchased a giant moustache with the same elastic band that your beard has for my Dr. Robotnik/Eggman Cosplay. The moustache looks the part, but I never liked the elastic band going around it, especially since it shows through the bald cap I'm intending to wear. Looking forward to this video and learning from it!
Bummer! The shop is no longer selling! I love that beard and need one like that for Fiddler on the Roof!! Thank you for this brilliant idea, I'll be making a ton of beards for this musical and you just saved me if I can find other beards like this!! Thanks!
God darn it!! I need that beard for my Yellowbeard costume for Halloween! I’m already overwhelmed with sewing the entire outfit. I’m able & on the way to growing a full beard but my beard doesn’t grow as full as the character. The Etsy beard is shut down. Guess I’m going to have to hunt me a freakin yak! All out or die! See you in Heaven & Hell or the void.
Couldn't you add a little bend, similar to those you made just beneath the ear hooks, in the middle of the moustache loop, roughly where that little dimple thingy, that goes from your nose to your upper lip, is located, to help keep the moustache centered? Or would that be dumb?
""I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won.""
Hey Adam, i have an idea for a one day build. Im not sure if you have seen the show Altered Carbon on Netflix or not but they have these things called stacks witch are basically a spinal column insert that contains the soul/memories of a person and can be transferred to different bodys if it hasn't been destroyed. I always thought that it would be a cool prop to have. You could even make a couple versons. In the show sometimes they've been freshly removed and still have a couple juicy bloody bits on them or some have been damaged or broken. They pulse and glow in this pleasing way too that would be awesome to see you replicate. Anyway the work you do is always so impressive and inspiring hopefully my idea might inspire a one day build for us all to enjoy and maybe even learn something from. Keep it up and keep those fingers out of that lathe ! I know its forever ago now but lets be honest we're all very thankful you didn't deconstruct your hand.. Be safe!
thats weird. something you said right before your alexa went off, set mine off too. I muted it's mic input until after you yelled at yours... which reminds me, I still have to finish putting that thing on a push to talk solution.
I know it's not black beard. but great god damn, I wanna see Adam do a Black Beard cosplay now. I feel like he'd be the worst damn pirate I've ever seen.
Where can I get some of that wire? I need to use some of that to make some ear hooks for my earbuds that I use to play guitar with. They are my in-ear monitors and they don't stay snug to my head like they're supposed to anymore
about tedium, there are times when I think it's helpful for us to do tedious things, to lose ourselves in a task. specifically with making things although that's probably just my own maker perspective. just letting the hands move almost on their own and come out of it on the other end with a tangible physical object, really gets the brain making the happy chemicals.
FakeBeardWig Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/FakeBeardWig
You should build the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery.
Real beard: home grown
So the crimpers are probably for blasting caps or detcord.
Only issue is that the mustache stays with the jaw instead of the upper lip.
I figured it out it's a cosplay of R.J. McCready from The Thing.
It's such a joy still being able to watch Adam make stuff after growing up watching him on Mythbusters. You are a treasure, my guy. Much love
Growing older, maybe. Growing up? I hope not. To quote Ackbar. "IT'S A TRAP!!!"
Totally. I feel like I'm just hanging out with a childhood friend.
I'm in the same boat as you my friend
Watching him making stuff up now, growing up watching him making stuff up AND blowing them up
You know when Adam starts vigorously hand drumming on something, he's especially excited for what is to come!
My dad does that before he beats my ass
Good to see Will back on the channel.

Might I suggest a hinge along the jaw? The lower part of a beard naturally moves differently from the mustache
Maybe connect the mustache to the beard with a couple of springs.
@@willmfrank i feel you have to be a little careful on how the springs are implemented. Dont want any pinching going on.
26:06 Wow a Jamie appearance, so glad to see them back together again but very odd that he never was onscreen with each other.

So amazing seeing someone just enjoy life and enjoy creating

This is such a good idea for a play where someone has a full beard in one scene and is clean shaven in the next.
I was definitely thinking Unabomber
Watching Mythbusters and these builds has kept me going in this past week since my mom died

Adam is magic in the realest of terms.
What a nifty set-up! Curious if/how you will crust the beard with snow.
I'm thinkin' the aerosol stuff that you spray on artificial Christmas trees.
I’m going to guess that the cosplay is going to be macready from the thing.
He's working on his MacReady costume
I agree this and the hat. It has to be
And the glasses at the end
It is an excellent guess.
@@tested I hope you plan to "frost up" the look so that it looks like MacReady just came in from the cold.
Should come with a flame thrower and a bundle of dynamite
Adam Savage, you are a wild man and I love you!!

Same!
Also my thought
For the love of God read another book
Simon Whistler cosplay. Nice. Will be interesting to see how you do the bald cap.
That is wonderful, easy of wear is so important in cosplay.
When I read "wiring" in the title I thought this was going to somehow involve electrical wiring. For example like making a cyberpunk beard with neon lights in it, or LEDs....
Cybeard
Wrong channel, this isn't Big Clive.
Long beard with prehensile hair
SAME!!
Or an animatronic dancing beard.
with the light beard on you looked like a member of ZZ top

Not hiding the tattoo really well I saw it!
A bag of spools of thread? I see an ODB to organize that in some sort of portable case
Words you have never heard together before "intergraded mustache holder"

Hey Adam. This looks like the beginning of a cosplay for Neil Sandilands' Abbot from the tv series Sweet Tooth. Nice!
It looks great until you speak, I think a less rigid connection between the beard and mustache would be a big improvement.
and the lower lip has issues as well. A dab of spirit glue would help

That beard is Awesome!
I have no idea what clues he is talking about from other vids, but my first thought was an Alan Moore cosplay. That would be pretty cool I think.
that first beard reminds me Jamie's mustache :D
I spent countless hours manipulating wire into ear clips for lavaliere mics for musical theater.
Couldn't you add a little bend, similar to those you made just beneath the ear hooks, in the middle of the moustache loop, roughly where that little dimple thingy, that goes from your nose to your upper lip, is located, to help keep the moustache centered?

I'm guessing your next cosplay will be Hugh Glass ? And your wife (or Leonardo DiCaprio) in the bear costume ?
