I teach high school CAD. Suggestions for creating a creative design environment in the classroom? *Desire is the greatest motivator
@davedelaney5860How
do you fulfill your need to be creative/make things while traveling? I am a carpenter by profession and a woodworker by hobby and find it difficult to satisfy my desire to create while on the road.
@Righteous Robot
How often do you sketch without the intention of making what you sketch?
@charlesm.1638
When working on projects is there a specific genre of music that helps you stay focused on what you are working on? For example I listen to classical or jazz while coding.

I've also found a lot of freely available 3d print designs to be missing elements. This is especially true in the miniatures realm where most designs are not coming pre-supported for print with viable support removal. Great cool designs, but designing with the tool limitations in mind is important.
I'm not on board with Swift. She's kind of like an amped up Rage Against the Machine. Rail against industries and people so fans spend way more money on you than makes sense. And yeah, that's heavily crafted. Her father got her everything (nepotism) and gave her fairly robust (for her) contracts and then she was upset later that she signed them? He published them at one point to show they were standard artist contracts - which are worth debating and negotiating of course - but victim Taylor I can't buy. Re-recording her masters hurt the companies who own them but now also hurt people who helped her make them too. That isn't cool. It's as bad as what the Corridor Crew talked about with the Barbie Behind the Scenes completely pretending whole artists didn't exist.
I would love to have a whole video of Adam taking an aimless trip through his files and folders, and sketch books to just see what pops up and what he talks about
I'd love to watch this.
T'would be even cooler if he made a contest where people could pick and make one of them and then he decided which (could be more than one, of course) was best. It would be a great "series" to watch on this channel imo.
Reminding me of my friend's Calvin and Hobbs page they recreated in stained glass.
This is EXACTLY what my high school teacher let me do in CAD class. After you successfully replicated designs of several real world things, he let us choose what we wanted to model. We did houses, famous buildings, and concepts we came up with. It was my favorite class and taught me so much.
"New skill aquisition has always been based on desire." As a teacher of teachers in training, this is the first thing all of those teachers to be need to hear and understand. Learning is best is when students are pulled into the learning because of their desires and interests. Pushing students is back assward and highly ineffective. Brilliant point, Adam, BRILLIANT!
The deficit in CAD is mostly because people have learned CAD before they have learned drafting and technical drawing. What we want is a well drawn item with the dimensions and style matching the expectation of creating by machining. What we find is mostly adequately or well drawn, but not thought about the same way a daftsman or technical illustrator might have done. This is a result of CAD no longer being a specialty of drafting, and it is not a bad thing. It represents the easy access we now have to precision drawing systems.
Uh...sort of. We've been teaching CAD, sans tech drawing, for >30 years. What anyone should want is a drawing precise and accurate enough to meet their need. Like any discipline, jumping in without first understanding what you need in the end is unlikely to achieve a desired result.
From a mechanical engineers prospective I think we need to teach machining and GD&T in addition to CAD.
@@trenthegelheimer127 Mechanical Test Engineer here... Agree 100%. I'll add to this by saying I think EVERY high school student should be required to participate in at least a 1/2yr engineering course in high school. The school system our three boys went through had a 1 and 2yr courses for any student that was interested (but it was voluntary). All three took them and even though two of them didn't go into an engineering field, I think the experience was invaluable for them.
This reads like the unwritten part is based on design vs documentation. Both drafting and CAD are _documentation_ methods. Too many people believe that these two disciplines are always interchangeable. Someone could conceivably make an excellent drawing or 3d model of a poorly _designed_ object.
A good analogy would be an IT business having programmers and technical writers. The computer programmers _design_ the software and don't necessarily need to know how the software will be used; they're only concerned with the inputs, required calculations, and the outputs. The technical writers create the _end user documentation_ for the software - the user manual, quick-start guides, online tutorials, etc. and don't necessarily need to know the inner workings of the program to do so.
Interesting! Thanks for the insight
+1 on traveling with a sketch pad and laptop (with the 3D CAD program I use installed). Doing design work in your down time is a great way to pass way to fill in your day and it also allows you to get things done you don't have time for in your day to day routine.
As a hobbyist, I also usually bring along scale drawings of things I want to build/design (mostly for laser cutting or 3D printing).
Metric rules! Coming from a nearly 58yr old American. I've worked for a European based company here in the States, they use metric exclusively and now I do too, even on woodworking or other home projects.
I sketch usually when I'm inspired by something, Adam's bag lid for example. I really loved the concept and sketched out my own (aviation inspired) version with a slide bolt spring snap. I don't own the bag and I lack the tools & material to make all the things I'd want but sometimes the idea just needs to come out of my brain somehow.
I also teach high school cad. The best projects ive gotten out of my advanced kids are ones that have the least directions but are either practical or competitive.... Currently they have 3 weeks to make catapults to launch at specific targets. they have size constraints and can use materials and tools in the classroom which includes a glowforge and 3d printing. Ive been really impressed with the variety that theyve come up with.
The other time they really went out of the box was creating cell phone holders.
Adam, I just found your channel and it’s wonderful to see you again! I’m gonna be watching your videos for hours! Awesome as always
I wish “High School CAD” was a thing when I was in high school.
I went to high school in the ‘60’s…I’m a female who wishes she was allowed to take shop! Fortunately my dad had a decent wood shop and taught me. He was a progressive “girl dad” before that was a thing. I also skipped home etc but my mother taught me to sew. Sort of. 😀
I drew in CAD and plotted out stair stringers full size when I added a 2nd floor to my house. That was fun!
Perfect reply to inspiring learning! It makes me remember how I became very proficient with Excel. I had a need to make paper-based spreadsheets more flexible and growable. I pestered my bank’s owner to buy me a PC and Lotus123 and showed him how much time I could save to be able to do even more work. I bought my own books and in six months my efforts showed him how much more valuable I had become. He even refused to let my boss fire me when the boss became threatened by my growing skills. (The owner eventually fired my boss.)
Always enjoy your uploads. Thank you.
We in Melbourne had Cassie Casein on 3 DB on the AM band when I was a kid. FM didn’t exist back then. His voice was so unique, loved listening to him. Thanks for bringing up that memory. Cheers
Another reason to sketch everything instead of just intended builds - it’s flexing a muscle - working it helps it grow
No matter what project I might be doing, whether it’s building a model or creating a diorama for it, I usually have the soundtrack to whatever I’m building on. I think it just gets the creative juices flowing.
7:21 if you try searching for bolts like “bolts” (with the quotation marks), it only searches for things that mention whatever you add between the quotation marks, hope that this helps if you didn’t already know it Sir🙏🏼
And also, if something keeps coming up that is completely unrelated… Just simply add a - before then typing whatever the irrelevant thing is! So for example, say that CZcams videos keep coming up about bolts when you search for it, if you just simply type it “bolts” -CZcams it’ll search for JUST bolt related things, anddd it will no longer show you anything on CZcams at all, I really do hope that this helps if you didn’t already know it
I use those tips often, but it seems nowadays it's nearly impossible to remove the search engines determination to sell me something.....I have more "minus" words than anything else, and I am very precise in my nomenclature, but still have to wade through pages of everything I _didn't_ ask for.
Google USED TO use Boolean searches (the term for doing things like that) but they've veered away for years now. The modern systems aren't nearly as robust but they are selling us on "AI" tools for replacing things that work. /vent
I’m so happy to hear you always have a sketchbook! I do too…I consider myself a sketchbook artist and I’m a member of (and admin for) Urban Sketchers. I enjoy video sketchbook tours by the artists I follow. I’d really like to see yours!
My Industrial Arts teacher had templates of clocks for people to choose from and she showed the process for making a template, but informed folks that template making would cut into their making time. She liked my design so much she helped me make the template, and it came out great. She was happy that I picked an image that wasn't dated...which is why I picked it. Something I would be happy with at 13 and 30. It was a spade image from a deck of cards.😊
Thumbs up on Bridge! A mighty piece of software which is too often underestimated. Being a pro photographer for 21 years now, still haven't seen anything close in function or convenience.
Have you tried Photo Mechanic from Camerabits?
Thank you
I intend to build everything I sketch - just usually doesn’t happen.
Would love a book of Adam's drawings one day. Would also be cool to see what he uses paper wise and notebook wise as I find you can tell a lot about someone from their stationery
Growing up in the 90s, our art teacher had a rule, "No drawings of dead rock stars." I mean, I get it, but if you're just trying to learn technique it's fine.
I remember having to take 3 years of drafting before being able to take CAD senior year! Getting old is weird!
music to listen to
if i'm thinking: lindsey stirling
if i'm cadding: heavy metal
if i'm playing a racing game: eurobeat, techno
if i'm driving: 50's, 60's, and pop (long live the spice girls)
if i'm painting figurines: youtube channels with a 1hr entry.
the rest is mood music or standup comedy.
I’ve always find it much easier to learn on a project than simply just learning for the sake of learning. The negative side of that is often I will only learn what I need to learn not too much on either side of that just so I can get the job done. yeah its pluses and minuses, I guess. Definitely an easier way into things though for me is if I need if I need a product I need something and then I learn how to do it on the way of making that thing.
A co-worker had bluetooth hearing aids. He loved them. Have you considered something similar to listen to more music? I'm curious what aspects of the shop require you to listen less.
Speaking of tape measures, why does your tape measure almost certainly have something like "P.R.APP'D 254Tc" printed on the tape around the 10" mark?
When it comes to music in my workspace, I tend to listen to film soundtracks. The tone of the music can absolutely have me speeding up or slowing down my progress in a project. Love themes tend to slow down, but bombastic themes, such as a superhero theme can get me jazzed and sometimes, not often, but sometimes, I hurt myself or my project by simply moving too fast for my own good. When that happens, I put on a dose of Beethoven or Tchaikovsky to settle myself down. I love Rimsky-Korsakov. Especially La Mer and Scherazade.
Great video sir
For me, it was Blues, especially electric. I have done HOURS of paintings, murals and chalk art with people like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and A5BB blasting in the background.
Hey Adam. I'd like to know how often you use magnets in your builds and how do you organize them. Thanks for your Killer videos over the yrs.
JohnnyB.
Can't agree more, make something you need or want.
1, Motivation.
2, You KNOW, as you go along, whether you have made something right because you know what it is supposed to look like or do.
The 3 B's. Beatles( well crafted pop), Bach, Bluegrass!
Adam, I'm not sure what you like the most about Bridge but I've found Photo Mechanic, from Camera Bits, to be great "editing" software for photos. It might not fit your needs but it's worth a look.
I went to college for creative writing and spent years churning out crap I hated and learned nothing from because well meaning educators put a bunch of fearful caveats on the creative process. Right before I left I had a screenwriting professor who gave us no direction other than to tell the story you want, and he would engage each student with how to hone that to a well crafted piece, and it was infinitely more edifying than any class I had explicitly gone to school for.
(which is to say, let high school kids draw dumb crap on CAD, etc)
If you want something enough you will figure out every possible way to get to that goal.
Desire is the forward motion of the universe.
Okay Adam talking about the music do you ever turn down the music /tv/conversation so you can see better? Still do this done it when I first started driving so weird turn down the radio so I could see to drive.
Movie and video game soundtracks are what I listen to for focus.
Yes. He builds absolutely everything he draws.
While totally agreeing with the idea of creating something that those creating it will love themselves, it's the reason that I have around 200 of my paintings cluttering my tiny studio space.🙂Not sure if I'll ever part with those.
I was inspired to become a 3D animator by the film 'Final Fantasy: Spirits Within' and then, later, the first Matrix film (many of the artists from that Final Fantasy film worked on the second Matrix film). I was also inspired by the desire to get out of the 'Vault' aka 'mailroom' in the postproduction house I worked in. Love Adobe everything, hate Apple (Smoke and Mirrors rented space in our facility when they made the move to the US LOL. So I got to throw my 2 cents in on a few of their projects. They were an 'all 3DS Max' company, which meant all Windows at the time so there were no Apple computers used on the first 2 Harry Potter films). I can't stress how important it is to let people go crazy with stuff. I spent months sitting at home making garbage until I became the first 'In-House' graphic designer for Mad River Post (one of the first commercial editing boutiques in the US). I remember those days with nothing but love. Now I'm a lazy b#st%rd, making money doing boring stuff Monday through Friday and going nuts on the weekends. Going nuts is good. It helps you maintain your sanity.
I can't imagine working in a quiet shop. Every shop I worked in my youth had music going. Even if it was from a crappy one speaker radio blasting out tinny country music.
What I have found is that if I sketch something more than 3 times within a year, I typically end up building it. My current project is the Fortress of Solitude crystal control center.
I'm what they call a 'chicken scrathcher' and sketch as much as l sketch faces and l can chix scratch a perfect circle, and taught a friend how to do a circle and she was ecstatic.
Show them what art is, and whatever takes their fancy from street art.
Give them a wall that they can use to express themselves, but no racism, or gang affiliation.
Give them an article to do, speak to a nursing home for something that will help the service user.
I have been watching your shows since childhood
What age please
I am 13 now😅
how do you get all those subfolders, without running into the file name length limit??? 🤯🤯🤯
would it be posible to listen to epidemic sounds or music i think the name is that make music that can be used on youtube so no need to worry about the copyright?
as 53 year old raised on 70's and 80's rock her style of music isn't really in my wheelhouse but I cant deny her tunes can be catchy and I espeicaly appreciate Taylor Swift's commitment to owning her labour!
So big question I'm color blind trying to match colors is a nightmare any suggestions?
It would be fun if you occasionally posted in text form the title and artist of the song you listened to when one of those "ramped" segments is included. Maybe we can't hear it, but sometimes a viewer might opt to share your jam by opening up a second browser that is monetized for the performing artist.
Putting my ideas on paper is the hardest part for me. I just can't seem to to draw in 3d.
That's like asking why does the sun shine.. lol
Is the answer to the 3Dprinter question not Benchy? Who doesn't want a benchy? Or to do printers come with Benchy built in now?
can he draw, build, paint, weather, and explain how it was done on some model kits?!
Off topic mate. How you do you feel about the show Motor MythBusters with Tori. And two other co hosts idk who they are, Bisi and Faye? I just found it on Australia's Foxtel. I wish you were a part of it. It ain't the same without you buddy. 😢
Metric, for the win
Signed
The Whole World
Someone so non-basic loves pop music? WOw. Did not see that coming!
3D print new camera arms that don't droop?
It's too bad metric didn't take the chance to standardize tool sizes to nuts & bolts. I mostly work in auto repair. Mechanics typically call out bolt-sized based on the bolt head and not the shank. It bothers me that an M8 bolt usually takes a 13mm wrench except my SUV uses 14mm nuts.
Hi Adam, where do you find the time to make, run a you tube channel travel and still be sane?
that project looks a lot like an airlock door lock 👀
Everyone: CAD =Computer Aided Design
Me: CAD = Cardboard Aided Design 😂
Necessity may be the mother of all invention, but wanton desire is certainly its father. 😆
CAD is Computer Aided DRAFTING, not design, until you have 5 to 10 years experience in a particular discipline. My blood curdled once I heard a kid with a months experience call himself a designer.
Ugh had to mention imperial 3 times I've had to deal with Wentworth
That part will be fine....🤣
why doesnt Adam just listen to music bluetooth on his phone to his hearing aids?
The cowboy gun experiment
My favourite
3:00 I was just looking at that speeder from BR, and accessories, and they want $25+. But I know very few are buying them, because we're all broke. You just happened to get that stl model, coincidence!!! We can get these stls in bulk on the drk web by the millions, and most are useless characters, unless you like it for show, but for "money"? I wanted practical stuff, so now we need to learn CAD.
I think many people in this comment section will agree - find a project that you love, but is way beyond your current scope of knowledge, and just keep nibbling at it from the trunk to the leaves, until you know enough to do that project... and suddenly your toolbelt has a whole bunch of new tools in it for the next one.
Why sketch things you don't intend to build? Let's ask Leonardo that one :-).
Rush.
The answer is the big yellow book.
@6:37 the question of finding the things. McMaster Carr. Bring it back and put a lot of really cool printer guys back to work now!
So, are you thinking about developing a 3D printed Razor Crest that can be equipped with microturbines? A flying Razor Crest?
Let them pick a physical object that is dear to them... them tear it apart and draw plans to make it... i have an associates in applied science of mechanical and architectural Computer Aided design.. MCAD.. have been a design development engineer.. have been a project engineer... have been a bank manager and loan officer... i am a chemical Process operator.. purely to pay the bills... i draw now for pleasure..
How did you and everyone else, from Mythbusters react to Jessi Combs’ passing? At least she died doing what she loved doing.
I have a question about the Ruler you are using in your video "Adam Savage's Guide to Model Spaceship Paneling!" (czcams.com/video/NiZPuE0wBE8/video.html)
It looks like a nice heavy-duty ruler. What brand is it or who makes it? Thank you.
Does Adam build everything he draws?
If you’re giving kids CAD then you also have to spend a LOT of time teaching them how to use it. In the 90s my engineer father sat me down with CAD when I was maybe 8 years old and he just expected me to get it and start designing things with a few minutes of instruction. That shit is not interesting to a child. There’s a lot of education that precludes the ability and even the desire to use tools
Adam needs some good airpods so he can listen to his music AND record footage!
You saying you grew up in imperial. I'm older than you and also grew up in imperial but I can hardly remember imperial now. I do everything in metric and I'm nearly 70
There has been a time or two when I've gone through the numerous iterations of design and concept that I became uninterested in the realization.
Hi sir I love you
cad is not
computer, aided, disign
its
cardboard aided design
"I'm Imperial I grew up Imperial I think in Imperial"
The Rebel in me is triggered.
I may be the only creative person in the world who hates Adobe Bridge.
The entire Beatles catalogue should have been made Public Domain decades ago.
Nobody associated with that music needs to make any more money off it
First
Oops sorry blowing up your feed
I guarantee Adam's refrigerator and cupboards contains no liquids marked in Imperial gallons, quarts, pints, cups, ounces or any other such volume measures. The same goes for liquids he acquires at the hardware store.
... disclaimer. There might be a vanishingly small chance there's a bottle of beer or cider in there that was bottled in the UK.
Even though measures of length and mass are identical in Imperial and US systems, the two systems are separate, and controlled by different legal entities. End rant.
I love building in metric ... love metric hardware! I draw everything in metric, have since I started fabricating acrylic and metal. But ... around the house .. and any kind of woodworking .. it's al lstill "imperial". Bleh.
Build everything one draws ... oh heck no. Not every drawing is worth building! And building everything I think of would take armies of drones. And create tons of waste. The ateps of the creative process are a sieve.
Why is Adam throwing out the term "late stage capitalism" more and more?
Because it’s true.
Haha. Americans ranting about Metric parts being widely available and Imperial not! 🤣
Why does your shop assistant need to learn how to use your 3D priniter AT HOME? Isn't that a skill that should be done at work?
im sure they are compensated its just easier to do it at home instead of sitting in the shop because much of it is just waiting around
"Pop" music is so broad now, it's almost meaningless. I'm guessing Adam meant "modern pop". As in recent. Which may or may not be the same as contemporary. IDK.
LEGO's ☹️
A bit illeistic. Haha
