  • What are Adam's normal hours in the cave? Does Adam tidy up after each project? Has Mrs. Donttrythis ever raised an eyebrow at something Adam's bought? And are there any 2023 cosplays that Adam is excited about? In this live stream excerpt, Adam answers these questions from Tested members MAWFORD ARTS (aka Matt), Wayne, david marden and Buck Potter, whom we thank for their support!

    I tend to leave tools and debris around until I've finished a project. If I don't, I find myself constantly having to retrieve a tool or material I thought I was finished with. I especially hate sweeping up because I know I'm just going to create more of a mess on the floor that I'll have to sweep a second time. I like one and done on cleanup.

  • @OakLaneCemetery
    @OakLaneCemetery Před rokem +3

    I'm fortunate in that my full time job is shift work that gives me 8 days in a row off every month. That gives me plenty of time to work on projects in my workshop every month. A good portion of that time is allocated to cleanup and organization from previous projects. My shop is tiny though and gets destroyed every time I work on something.

    You might consider getting a kid apprentice / helper/ shadow to mentor and pass on what you’ve learned. He can clean up and keep you organised. There is a reason that it became the norm for most of history.

    • @cyrilio

      We need an episode on apprenticeship. I totally love the idea and wish I had one when younger. When I’m in the position I’ll definitely get a helper myself.

      I've had a helper once, it was a very cool experience, I've also been a helper which taught me a LOT! When I noticed he wasn't as motivated as before I started a serious talk with him in which it became clear for him he'd rather wanted to pursue his music career. I respected that and we parted ways, he even ended up on some well renowned music festivals, it was a very valuable experience for the both of us. It also taught me a lot about myself. I can recommend it to anyone.

    I've noticed that there's a strong correlation between shop tidiness and productivity. There are exceptions, but in general the more messy/chaotic a shop the more productive and genius the creator.

    I don’t spend much time at the bench these days, but when I go to the basement where my “shop” is, I will spend a few minutes putting stuff away. I’m a little obsessive compulsive on some days, others, I just walk by and ignore it! Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

    I'm not a morning person so I always start the day with a coffee in bed, I take my time, get up at about 10am, then have another coffee, then start modelling. I feel good about that because once I get focused I can be in the workshop until 11pm! Great vid as always Adam, thanks for the insight into your work day!

    *on keeping things all neat and tidy and expanding your shop to accommodate more incredibly exciting and super geeky bits...have you considered installing one of the document/archival storage systems that have the nifty cranks on the end that open up/expand the shelves for access and then collapse to take up less space?...i'm sure there would be a model that would suit your needs or possibly be tweaked to your exact specifications and conform to the eclectic aesthetics that exist within the reality of the confines of your workspace and maker reality universe*

    • @jakobvanklinken
      @jakobvanklinken Před rokem +1

      As attractive as that sounds (and believe me, I love those systems) I don't think they're suitable for Adam.
      -He needs to have a visual overview to find things, which you can't with that system,
      -He'll get impatient quickly with rolling many different cabinets to get to stuff
      -And finally, with the amount of clutter in the shop, I can imagine him stuffing some big object in between two cabinets, making the whole system practically stuck.

    @davidmedeiros7572 Před rokem +1

    Adam, re the question about tidiness, it feels like we may suffer from a related affliction... namely being tidy because we're not! I bounce back and forth between focus and distraction and find it very easy to become overwhelmed stuff and workspaces. So I try to solve the problem of me being a mess by implementing easy to use and remember systems for storage etc. Seems like you do the same, to a MUCH higher degree and standard then I do! For me this is all very ADHD related. I'm always early for the same reason, because in reality I tend to be distracted right when I should be leaving, so I pad my times of obligation knowing I'll probably get sidetracked. But I do it so much, I still end up early!

    Related to "how tidy are you"...
    To what degree does the cave adhere to "a place for everything"?
    My space current doesn't have a place for most anything, so I'm crippled when it comes to tidying up. "Well put up those shelves." The ones that would go over there in that area that needs to be tidied up before I put up the shelves...?

  • @rkcpek

    Dear Adam savage. Is there such a thing as a mechanical typewriter that uses a dot matrix style print head? In that they're not dozens of strikers with unique patterns but one print mechanism that through mechanical means prints a selection of dots from a 5 x 9 grid to produce letters?

    • @rkcpek

      Not electrical at all! Although a sectional letter/# element like old lcd screens would use could cut down on the number "dots" as so to speak.
