- čas přidán 8. 11. 2022
- Adam's Han in Carbonite replica is due for a major overhaul and upgrade! To recover from running this year's SiliCon, Adam carefully lowers his Han in Carbonite display and builds it a new frame. Then, with the help of visiting maker Todd Blatt and his Carbonite build kits, Adam machines some custom greeblie parts and assembles new side panels that make his Han display more accurate than ever before!

Love❤ from India🇮🇳,
❤️
Those mystery parts at 22:30 look suspiciously like they are from the underside of an armchair or sofa - I think I'm right in saying castors would slot through the D-shaped hole.
Though having said that, I have been known to be wrong.....from time to time...
*_Thing is, Han isn't silver in his Carbonite prison, he's more like the actual color carbonite: HEX 636555 RGB: 99,101,85 (I might be wrong on those codes, hehe)._*
*_You should have painted Han that color, then dry-brushed him up with silver/chrome._*
*_There's missing brown and bronze undertones to your Han._*
Adam, where's your dust mask????MDF is nasty stuff!
i dont know if its a new thing. but having little window adam explain the proccess, while big window adam dose the time lapse work was really good editing
So, like a "directors cut" sort of vibe... great idea!
Yeah this needs to be more of a thing!!
picture in picture. i like it too
I liked this but found I had to watch twice because I was trying to figure out what he was doing bc he hadn't finished explaining before it was being shown
I watched the whole thing and never saw that. Where in the video was it?
Just wanted to shout out to the folks who edit, upload, and manage for this channel-Adam may be the star, but without you guys' hard work, we wouldn't be able to enjoy this never ending stream of super high quality videos! Thank you for all your time and effort spent documenting this eccentric machinist in his natural habitat ❤
Love the line from Todd "or you could just leave it in your shop for a month and it will get dirty that way" haha.
Anyone else in awe of the genius of the original prop makers that put so much effort into details that very very few people would have even noticed.
That’s what we used to call movie magic, now they call it CGI.
@@zombiehunter1152 people put love and effort into cgi as well
@@MaMastoast honestly cgi is lazy, you see a lot of movies are green screens now. The model makers were the best.
@@zombiehunter1152 that's not really fair, you're painting with a broad brush. Yes there are some aspects of cgi that are made easier than physical model making, but I would argue that cgi work at the same level as good traditional model making are a similar skill level, even if they're different, and you can cut corners in real model making (pre make assets, for instance) just like you can with cgi. Not all model making is great, and not all cgi modeling is lazy. I think maybe you don't know what you're talking about if you have that opinion. Cgi is not as simple as throwing up a green screen. There are countless hours spent building (in the computer or physically) what will be composited into the shot. It definitely can be done in a lazy way, but good cgi is just as difficult as good practical effects.
@@isaacholzwarth u can’t beat old hands on tho but cgi is abit lazy tho really. Yes they use models over and over, in different movies too but that was the actual Beauty of having a real life model.
Having the tools is one thing, know how to use them another. REMEMBERING where you keep them/left them, that’s the real talent!
I feel like the 10mm socket is the boss then. Always gone.
So true…I’ve had to replace tools I know I still have….somewhere!
The electronics are by Fettronics, my company. Please let me know what you thought about the kit and if there's anything I can improve on! Love the build, BTW!
I've bought a kit from you in the past. It's great. I'll need to buy a 2nd one for the alternate hero panel seen in ESB.
The kit I got from you is still turning heads.. mutch appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼
Instant bookmark for a future build - well done.
The amount of quality content coming from Adam’s channel has been awesome! 🔥
Thank you - we appreciate your saying that, as well as the fact that you took the time to say it!
I salute this man for not completely fangirling the whole time, while not only being around Adam, but also working with him on something :D ... great vid to watch
You have your ladder backwards. When climbing a folding ladder, the round hinge should face the wall. We don't want a damaged Adam Savage!
I'm glad someone else asked how the knurling machine guides, without double threading on the pattern.
I saw a video of this one guy who made the "Han in carbonite" motif on the front of a fridge. It was the most unbelievable and coolest looking fridge I've ever seen.
That was probably Frank Ippolito on this channel.
Our video with Frank Ippolito? czcams.com/video/wSc1bfTMn4I/video.html
Thanks for the link! I became a fan of Frank and his work on _Face Off_ (especially his "redemption" season), and it's been neat to see him occasionally on _Tested._
Just so you know.... We casted off the original carbon freeze up at Lucas's ranch of Han. We then brought it back to the shop and made a mother mold.
It we obviously did it in silicone. We then painted the mold with black jelcoat and let it kick off. Once dried we started the fiberglassing.
We had pre cut straps of fiberglass ready to go and chop for his fingers. It took three of us a day to make just one. He was spayed with silver automotive paint then clear coated.
I worked for illusive concepts for seven years.
Hi, I guess illusive concepts is a pretty big company to make deals with Lucasfilm and take castings of the original props... that's pretty cool. There was a company selling white armor a few decades ago that was also cast from an original outfit made by Lucasfilm, I wonder if that was by illusive concepts too, and what other props you had the opportunity to work with?
@@burtpanzer We had the last functioning E.T. to cast off of. It still had all the little controls attached to it to make its eyes open and do other stuff. We did a small Rancor beast. A ful sized Yoda. All sorts of Lucas stuff. We did a a Darth Vader "unmasked" for Penny's I think.
We did wall reliefs for Kiss. It was nuts and fun. I traveled a ton. I fixed problems is what I did. Many crazy trips and stories....Many.
We didn't make any armor. That was probably Don Post studios. We also did Halloween masks. We had the rights to...
Kiss, South Park, The New lost in Space stuff.The only people allowed to make any likeness of Boris Karloff was us. Sarah Karloff was a extremely nice woman. We did our catalog cover shoot with Elvira. I was a bartending alien. She was very,very nice. We had licensing for gobs of stuff. We had contracts with Spencer's gifts and lots of Halloween stores and comic book stores. We did a resin head of T2 and I put a red light in his eye socket. It was very cool. Arnold made fun of it. At first....jerk.
@@rodgerrodger1839 Oh, how cool. There's definitely an air of mystique surrounding even the most indirect contact with certain films like Star Wars. I lived in Marin County and would run into Lucas everywhere I went. Without knowing it, I ended up renting the place across the street from him and everyone's house I worked on seemed to work at ILM. People who knew I was into it started giving me death star tiles and parts of full-scale walkers. I couldn't go to the city dump without being surrounded by discarded 70mm film reels from JEDI or spacecraft parts from an Ewok set. We even gave George a bit of a chase while driving back to his ranch, well he was driving a gold Dino Ferrari and left our station wagon in the dust... I know it doesn't compare to handling ET but there was a ton of cool things that made it pretty special.
@@burtpanzer That is fascinating! Makes one think about the whole 'archaeological' aspect of Star Wars. This also adds a wonderful layer to how to see the world, How so many daily objects might be linked to our favourite films, directly or indirectly. Just recently little portable lights used on Andor were pointed out available at Home Depo, and to my amazement Bunnings (a hardware franchise in Australia) had the exact same ones! A direct linkage to wonderful Andor, a useable prop! only 20 minutes from my home!! And only a few dollars. Incredible, compared to the usual cost of replicating or finding authentic parts from Star Wars. Anyway, thanks for your insight.
Yay for Todd! More Todd all the time!
I just looked at Adam's birthday to add him to my "nerd holidays" list and I discovered that my wife was born on the same day. I think I better stick with the same celebration I've been doing that day
The beauty of the clamp knurller is that you're not just countering the radial forces but also the tangential thanks to the fact the material is moving the opposite direction on the other side AND it acts as a steady rest, removing gravitational deflection. Keeps the lart perfectly concentric with no taper
I can't stop watching Adams videos......
The perfection of imperfection. Creating wear and tear that looks like it happened over time, but came out of a random angled spray of an aerosol can of paint!! Always a true pleasure to see your process!!
Every time Adam takes us into his workshop, it's like...Fantasia meets steampunk. Always a delight.
Adam: I love this.
Han: 38:55
🤣I hope the editor is making bank
Thanks I missed that.
Oh, damn! I wondered why Josh put that bit there. Thanks!!!!
i don't know how to describe him correctly but your guest today was perfect he wasn't fanboying or trying to show off you need to have him assist more often
Yeah 😅 just for safety 😂
Loved watching this collaboration with Todd Blatt. So much energy and expertise always yields something great. Thanks for sharing!
30 seconds in, this is already my favorite ODB this year! Epic opening and dancing Adam already saved my day ❤️
Adam spraying that guy right in the face through the little top window as he's talking with the hair spray and he doesn't even break stride despite clearly noticing it... champ.
I only got into the first 5 seconds with Adam scratching his sides wondering what to do first and i ticked the Like Button.
I don’t know if anyone has commented on this yet but those discs with the raised lips lips look like freeze plugs. Which are used on engines so the block doesn’t crack when frozen
Adam Savage is always making his builds look good enough for the screen. If you see them in real life , they look rough at best. I guarantee, if you see any of this in person you will not be impressed. This is a trend ive noticed. And i think it goes for a lot of older movie props. There is a lot of crapola that translates to the screen as okay. And for all these years we just accepted it as okay.
I love the big start time-lapse feels like a nature programe . Just watching the world most majestic brid for paradise build a stage ground for a mating ceremony. Therapeutic for me tbh :)
I had no idea Adam was hard of hearing, being so myself (as I'm getting up in the years) Adam is one of my inspirations and this realization makes me appreciate his work even more!
What?
@@DogSerious I had no idea Adam was hard of hearing, being so myself (as I'm getting up in the years) Adam is one of my inspirations and this realization makes me appreciate his work even more!
@@hankthepatriot3733 Eh?
@@DogSerious huh?
I love that the Tested team knows exactly what order to drop videos, even if they were filmed later. Like the knurling tool S&T/drawer build, which isn't a prerequisite for this video, but definitely a bonus to watch first.
Lol I paused to look up what Knurling meant and then came back and you explained it beautifully. Thanks for all the little bits of info along your process!
I really love Todd's vibe. He just seems like a kind person not playing his energy up for the camera.
Loved watching the banter between two aficionado so clearly working on the same wavelength.. joy.
I love that the clapper board is thick with tape :D :D
Hey Adam, you have to show it at least with the lights dimmed so we can really enjoy the side leds :) Anyways this was a great job.
Here here, I was desperate for him to turn the lights off!
@@ashmaybe9634 yeah ;)
It’s nice to be back in the workshop for a while... with something cool and fun! Thanks guys 🙏
The picture-in-picture with the time lapse and explanation was a real nice touch! 👏👏
This was such a pleasure to watch!
Thank you sir. 🙂
Excellent work, Adam, your ability (and knowledge/skill set) never seizes to amaze me!
When you put the original Han onto your saw horses and flipped it, so much dust fell off of it. I'm a janitor, I do some daily cleans and sometimes, deep cleans on new buildings - with that said, the urge to vacuum up that shop dust was intrinsic lol.
It's weird, as a creative person, I often don't finish any tasks because of various reasons (distractions, an inability to make/follow plans, ADD etc) but in my profession, it's all about finishing the task at hand and just following the plan. It's an interesting dichotomy. I need to find some balance that allows for me to be creative, again...
I'm the exact same way. My basement workshop is a mess of different projects in different stages of building/construction. Sometimes it's just a pile of parts or a box of scrap supplies that I've taped together with a note to myself so I remember later (weeks, months, or years later) what it was I wanted to make out of it. And the problem is (like you described), I may well plan on addressing a specific project or task, but then I'll notice one of these unfinished builds lying in the way, and suddenly I become fixated on finishing that one, aaaannnd.... suddenly a whole day has gone by, haha. For me it is a combination of my ADD with my OCD.
Watching the drop down pulley system was so satisfying!!
Adam, when you put your finger in there while chatting with your friend... 15:54 . if that lower part rolling catches just a bit of your skin, it will not stop before your finger is on the other side. Anyhow, great video!
I have a new goal in life now. I need to find and acquire skills, materials and or products that Adam needs to complete one of his projects so I can spend a weekend tinkering and working with him. It'll happen...it'll totally happen.
I loved the block and tackle and still have the rest of the video to enjoy. And even though you don’t like asking for help, I’m glad you paid somebody to give you a Han so you could do this project.
I love watching you move things and other things just topple over-I can SO relate!
“Hi, gang. I’m alone in my shop today and I need to get my Han Solo in carbonite replica off the wall. So for today’s one-day build, I’m going to invent the repulsor lift.”
I love watching you work with someone else & collaborate. You talk about that often, but it’s nice to see the teamwork
I always enjoy adams one day builds,it’s his thought process throughout the project,and his explanation on what he’s doing 🤔
@Adam Savage: You are 5 years older than me, and I feel way older watching you always having fun while building and playing with toys! Keep up the awesome work!
As a friend of Todd's this is amazing to see. Worlds colliding in the best way. Maybe one day we can trick Adam into playing Killer Queen and really close the loop 😉
AMAZING! Adam so awesome watching you work😁👍
what a brilliant video , thank you Adam .
Would've been nice to see a close up view of the work the two of you did...
Thank you for Reminding me to use Block and Tackle in the Shop.
I happen to notice, the knobs are the same as on a Telecaster guitar. Almost if not the same. 👌
What an awesome re-housing of the carbonite! Nice to see Han helping by holding a tool 😂
This was fun! Thanks for sharing. What a great video.
Absolutely no words for how I'd love to play in Adam's Cave!!
That was great and a great follow-up from yesterday.
I absolutely agree with the post about building a "Adam Savage in Carbonite" would be awesome. Adam, that would be awesome. Han Solo looks absolutely perfect.
It's always great to see Adam enjoying a Star Wars prop build, especially after having worked on the film(s). For some people it's just a gig, for Adam it's clearly more than that.
Dude, that new knurling tool you built is so cool!
Great build and another fantastic editing job!!
I will never forget the story of how Director Fleming slapped Judy Garland in the face because she couldn't stop laughing during the scene where Dorothy meets the Lion. Poor girl was only 17. Different times.
Todd built my Han in carbo ! Love it
So, the silver discs that you said you didn't know what they were, I think they looked familiar to me. I've seen something like them on an electric cooker from the 70s/80s and there would be this black knob placed over the center, a registration notch in the silver disc, and there would have been a printed scale on the chrome and this is how you would have turned your hob up and down - Don't remember the manufacturer but that's what they reminded me of. This allowed the indicator to be larger and easier to see but the outside would float over an enamel surface with one mark which made cleaning really easy, you could slide the knob off, get rid of most of the grease and then put it back on and there'd be no visible grease. I'd have to see it closer than you showed to be sure, Adam.
This would have been the underside of the dial which is facing up in your build
I am in total awe watching you work the lathe. Man to be able to pick your brain one day would be amazing.
"It doesn't occur to me" (to ask for help) Dude... felt that so much. I grew up an only child with working parents. So in the summer.... if I wanted to move something... I had to figure it out. Old box TVs seemed to be the bane of my existence.. but sometimes you want to play Nintendo in a different room... just the way it is.
Those mystery rings reminded me of taking apart and cleaning restaurant equipment. I was a grunt not a tech but there are a lot of oddly cut rings and dials in gas regulation.
Love those dance moves Adam!
I had just finished the other video of Adam building and singing this, and then 3 minute's later you drop the rest on us! Perfect timing
YO, Adam those washers are freeze plugs for automotive engine blocks
That whole opening time lapse was an awesome intro!
So coooooool... "OH I did have acrylic median!" , he says.
Story of my life.
Really love the guest builds!
Those big discs you were discussing look like a trim piece between a volume knob and the face of a vintage stereo.
I watch these and wish this was an experience we could sign up for 😂 I’d absolutely love to walk into that workshop and make cool stuff with Adam 😮😂
He could make bank doing shop tours or something, no doubt.
I’m fascinated with all work you both did to bring this up to your goal of what you felt “completed” the look you wanted…then realized that after all that work you planned to rehang it back up on your wall. Mentally, I’m slapping my forehead and thinking “REALLY???”
Sorry Adam.. I love that "I did have Acrylic Medium!" You know when you are working on projects and you forget you have these items. Like me with scratch build and commissioning 1/6th Action Figure stuff! I had to buy OD Green fabric for a upcoming commission. That was earlier this year. Around June I believe. Lets just say. I used up all of that OD I bought. Funny enough. Going thoughts my Fabric collection which was A few months ago. I found the ANOTHER 4 yards of OD Green I bought like a few years ago in my Fabric Drawer. Just hearing you say that was like me going. "OH! I Did have 4 yards of that OD Green. GOSH DANG IT!" LOL!
What a cool way to make a living. Props.
@Adam Savage's Tested - All these builds are kewl, but what I find to be awesome, is your breadth of knowledge of everything from knurling bits to wirling bits, packing foam to packing in minute details with physics, paste to pauperie, and beyond. You're obviously of the shared mindset that "we learn everyday". I also know that we can't know everything, so there's some adhoc research involved . . that just gets assimilated into the collective knowledgebase that is Adam Savage.
I have more, but didn't want to make this comment into an Adam Savage Wiki page :)
Great Job in th4e vids Much Thanks !
and don't ever change ! You be You !
P.s. sorry for the Star Trek reference. I know you're a Star Wars guy! :)
How I loved seeing you have the Time Bandits map on the wall. :)
Well... of course you would.
Many many years ago I used to work at FAO Schwarz and they had a full sized Han Solo in Carbonite. It was signed by Harrison Ford but no one bought it. It was part of a Star Wars display where they had a scaled to fit AT AT that looked like it had crashed through the ceiling. The head swung back and forth as though it was looking for prey!
sounds very cool!😀
@@mea164 So was Han 😉
Some might call it stubbornness, but I also don't think to ask for help moving things. we get very comfortable in using our brain tool to just get on with it and solve the next hurdle.
Back in the 90's, they had one of these at a high end collectable store at the Fox Valley Mall in Illinois. They only wanted $1500 for it. I couldn't afford it, but it was a cool piece to check out.
Time stamp 20:00 makes me want to see a Han Solo in Carbonite guitar but with the tone and volume knobs done on the side so they can be the knurled bits. Maybe have some effects built into the guitar as well so the buttons have a purpose... would certainly cut down on any reason to have pedals.
good god, I can’t wait to watch this at work 😍
Currently doing so lol
Finally we see Adam use his new track saw
Those cups remind me of spring locator cups for vehicles. Either suspension springs or valve springs. Make sense given the shape and offset heights.
I know a guy who has one of the 4 or 5 original carbonite Han Solo castings. Never used in the movie, but still very impressive to see. It hung in his living room,.. 👍
Adam, another great video, I have been watching for years and have always loved your content.
When I worked with the Hovercraft units in the US Navy we had little round aircraft grade aluminum rings similar to the piece you cant figure out at timestamp 22:18. On the hovercraft these were used in conjunction with very large rivets to put pieces of the rubber skirt together. Now I am not saying that this is what these are (especially since US hovercraft didnt come out until 1984) however I do believe that maybe these items you have were used in a similar function.
You can see them in this video at timestamp 0:28 - 0:33 in the upper left quadrant of the video.
I have a Star Wars / Doctor Who mashup kitchen. I wanted very much to get the Han kit as a base and resculpt it into Tom Baker in carbonite. Your video has me thinking about it again -- very encouraging. ••• Thnax!
Love the new casement! I created a casement for 12" Luke Skywalker Action figure. Why Luke in Carbonite? Because "What If?" I uploaded the cut file for the casement parts to Thingiverse.
It was awesome to create one smaller to get a feel for a larger build. Someday when I have more room I'm gonna build a big one! Thank you so much Adam for always keeping us inspired to create
Todd is the man!
Damn you did this on my Birthday? It must have gotten lost in shipping but what an amazing 40th birthday gift from my favorite Myth Buster
The "I know" killed me!
You really took it to another level. Those pieces look manufactured
I like the PIP edit. Nice touch!
It's a fascinating dichotomy, watching Todd talk look at the project from a collector/fan mentality- i.e. being careful about specific parts of the process.
Whereas still careful and in the fan mindset, Adam brings professional experience from the industry just kinda going "doing this like this will enhance the look, or doing this other thing will get the result in half the time" it's almost as if he worked at ILM.... XD
In all seriousness though, this was fantastic, would love to see more of Adam working with a relative "layperson" on film prop replica projects.
Also Todd (who's last name continues to escape me even as I watch) has some serious chops as well, and I by no means wish to downplay his skills, they're both equally good.
I guess I'm just noticing Todd's experience leans towards reverence for the project, and Adams leans towards reverence for the Process?
I want one of these for a coffee table. Just a sheet of glass supported by the raised features of Han's hands, face, and feet, on a base that makes it look like it's floating. (But with the lights and sounds from the movie). If you could make it glow orange like it's in the beginning phases of thawing him, that would be amazing too.
"Oh, I *did* have acrylic medium!" I don't know how many times I've been rummaging through my shelves for something and say the exact same thing about something. The last time it was "Oh, I *did* have acrylic rod!"
