While sheltering-in-place, Adam is livestreaming every week to work on builds and take questions from the Tested community! This livestream took place on 4/21/20, after Adam completed his LEGO Blade Runner Spinner assembly. Join the Tested Discord server to ask questions: / discord
Questions answered in this video:
* Re: knolling, do you always organize things like this with every build you do? Or is just LEGO?
* Are there any projects that you have in mind, but that you don't have the space or equipment to do currently?
* Have you considered gluing your LEGO set after it’s finished to keep it?
* What is your favorite LEGO build in your collection?
* Have you ever had to unbuild a project after you had just finished it for any reason?
* Other than the lathe incident, what shop injury did you learn the most from? What did you learn?
* What has been the hardest thing you've ever had to throw out?
* Have you ever found info about parts and build techniques in weird places? Like forums or old websites?
* Are there any pieces of machinery / equipment that you pine after, but can't practically have in the shop?
* How are you?

You better not die Adam. I struggle with a shit load of anxiety and depression and knowing you exist and watching you helps me sooooo much
I wish that, somehow, from now on, the last question Adam gets for these videos is always "how are you doing?"
Yeah people need to stop and do a self assessment... Like check in on themselves. ♡
Growing up, at my paternal grandfathers house, there was a 12 volume set of the 1955 Popular Mechanics Do-It-Yourself Encyclopedia. It techniques for making things from archery to knife making to furniture construction, welding, roofing, garden projects, making a cross bow out of lumber and a leaf spring (instant favorite for 8 year old me) and so on. My dad inherited the set when my grandfather passed and about 5 years ago I found a complete set at the local Goodwill for about $11. Plenty of great stuff and it really focused on re-using items (refrigerator compressor motors were a big part of some builds) where possible. 8 of the volumes are archive.org
I just found Adam, I didn't knew he was on youtube. I just had the most amazing nostalgia throwback and I'm so happy to see him.
I’d like to see a Mythbusters LEGO kit. Based on episodes such as the Jet Car
I really love how Adam can end any live stream or QnA event with a musing on the nature of psychological being during our great collective and separate isolation... It feels very grounding for ME to hear, after watching a long, out-of-time slog towards tangible becoming. If making is important spiritually, then Adam's send-offs and blessings remind me of a maker's benediction. :)
The moment before I injure myself, I'm normally thinking, "I should be wearing PPE, but it's all the way over _theeeere_ ".
My sun burn from welding agrees.
I had the exact same thought right before i was jugulated from a decollation 🧟♂️
If that happens, then you're committing the high crime of letting your mind wander. Absolute commitment to your dangerous work is requirement. The Queen herself could walk in front of you, and you shouldn't care.
You are not Ave are you?
No, Chris from Clickspring is AvE.
Adam- You are truly a treasure. I am a passionate maker of things and I appreciate your positive, excited attitude. You inspire me, challenge me and give me hope to reach farther with my creations. Thank you for being you. Your my favorite person to regularly watch on the internet. Just do me one favor. Keep going. We love what you are doing.
Well said! I wholeheartedly agree!
Isnt he just the best.
When you do build the Ark of the Covenant, you'll clearly have to buy a warehouse, box it up and keep it there never to be seen again!
It'll be studied by top men.
Except by shady government officials and russian soldiers.
And also electrify it.
@@GeekyGarden Now that's the ticket right there.
@@performa9523 Top. Men.
The things I've learned from my serious injuries, beyond what Adam mentions, are two things:
1. "Never rush, especially if you're already taking a short-cut." That one earned me 4 stitches on my scalp.
2. "Reflexes must be ignored until properly trained." That one cost me a pair of pants, and a 2 inch stab-wound in my thigh.
I used to build a lego set then when I was finished and appreciated the final product for say... a few months or so... I would disassemble it and then use the parts to build something new from my own imagination. Putting together the lego set is fun but for me, half the fun is using the parts to create other things.
I don't know how it took me until now to learn about knolling, but you have enlightened me. This concept may change my life, in a small way, even if I eventually forget the word for it.
Thank you so much for still posting vids. Actually watched this as a family this mourning!
I love what you said at the end about using this time to create something from nothing and how spiritually rewarding it is. I have been watching your videos and tons of other builders on youtube and wanted to start getting my hands dirty for years now, but haven't had the space and have been making all the excuses. At the start of the quarantine, I moved into a bigger place with a yard and garage and ordered some tools. All this free time from work has been a blessing in disguise and is allowing me to slow down and create. Your videos provide a constant inspiration and motivation for me, thank you!
Thank you for making my quarantine a little better!
Thank you Adam for all this content you put out at the moment, its a blessing for me everytime I get a notification from the tested channel! Keep safe 🙏🏻
I started building scale model kits again after an 11 year hiatus. This quarentie has re-sparked a passion that was sleeping.
Love watching your videos for inspiration to grow my skill set.
Thank you Adam!! For those closing thoughts wow, didn't think I needed to hear that. But man thank you so much for being a wonderful person and light in this dark world. AMAZING
Please never stop these Q&A livestreams Adam - you have no idea how much we love listening to you :)
That was a really good note to end on.
Grateful for your time , thanks and lots of love
adam... thanks for all these lovely videos from your cave/shop... this is such an inside and so much fun to watch while i have to stay at home. love it. more please. :D
I love watching/listening to these videos while I'm working in may little art studio.
Thanks for these Adam and the rest of Tested. Your videos are helping get through this crap. From our bunker to yours...
Thanks, Adam and tested crew you are warming my heart. Love and good vibes from my song making home in Boston.
“Not that I’m throwing out a good tarp, don’t worry.” The urgency with which he added this caveat made me wheeze; he knows his audience and knows they know the value of a good tarp 😂
What a strangely moving end to the stream - thanks for another little dose of Savage wisdom
Lego injury: trying to separate pieces and end up bending a fingernail back.
OUCH! And i thought stepping on a brick is painful... I know why i always had something like a knife (not a sharp one) ready thats harder than my nails to do that. This or i just used the tools that Lego made to separate bricks.
Feel that one. I was the idiot that chipped a tooth trying to pry a few pieces apart.
Lego had tools to separate bricks? Never knew any existed, i just used my nails or teeth when i was younger >_>
@@KyleSage35 Yeah they had. Here: www.technicbricks.com/2011/10/new-lego-brick-separator.html As a kid i had a round 3 or 4 of the grey ones.
I imagine you when you are old: "And this, this is my old lego injury."
Hi Adam, thanks for your videos and your book. You are an inspiration.
Your videos make my day thank you and keep up the amazing work
I really love these Q&A's.
Thanks Adam. as always your input has helped me live another day and smile 😊 and give praise to know there are people out there as mad as me 👍👍👍👍
I love you and your attention to detail. I love you.
20:42 the dust coming off of those books, lol XD
I´m also on quarentine in my workshop/man cave and I REALLY enjoy watching this videos!
Why does Adam need to know the upstairs closet layout in my house? 😂 Never change Savage.
20:43 love that puff of dust as you set the books down
You are an amazing Human Being, thank you. I wish us all a safe future.
I have to thank you for gnolling! I use it every time I open a fresh kit of Warhammer 40k, after priming! I gnoll each piece into stacks, one stack for each unit. An arm, a head, a torso(or pieces of torso cause some have two pieces that make the torso)the legs, the weapons. Each piece that makes a unit goes into a gnolled pile, each pile separate. I then paint by color, by gnoled pile! If I hadn't ben watching this channel for years before getting into Warhammer, I don't know how much long it would take me to finish a group of units! Thank you!
Glue + Lego?! Who are these crazy people...
frankly, the concept of gluing lego is sacrilegious, it doesn't matter how many sets one's collection has.
The Kragle!
Hey Adam! Knolling is exactly like "mis en place" that chef's do when they are preparing a dish!
The real harrowing thing is not when you cannot keep something dear to you, for some reason, so you decide to give it away - but when later you see that they don't use it or straight up abuse it... or have thrown it out themselves. I'm sure everybody has had this experience.
I always set up my workspace like that. Career machinist and nerf soldier of fortune, and i love coming in to a job ready to go and pre-processed. Rough parts in one basket, finished in another, maybe a degrease station on a nearby table. I really enjoy it, the organization of it all
gonna need a bigger like button. Thanks, Adam!
Literally any question or comment....
Adam : ‘ Oh wait, I have an example’
Awesome!
Thank you Adam.
Keep up the great work enjoy your videos very much long time fan, long time maker.
Lethal Lego: Choking
The only thing that came to me was having them stuck up in the nose
Literature can physically hurt you....ever dropped a typewriter?
I was sitting in my living room the other day, and a whole bunch of books fell on my head. I have no one to blame but my shelf.
What a 'cutting' remark
100% agree on legos and the creative potential packed in those little bricks..
Grove spaz... its easy to throw out when you been looking at it for years.. its hard when you need it next month
George Coates!! That's a name I haven't heard for years. I was Sound Operator for "Up Your Ass", back in 1999-2001. Went to New York with the show for a month. I was the only male in the entourage. Man, those were good times. Thanks for the memory!
For the bike stand, just get the collapsible one (i have the Park PRS-25). Nearly as stable as the one with the giant steel plate, but so much easier to store. It only takes a minute to set up.
I love that even tho Jamie and Adam do not get along, the wet noodle story is shows how two people can have the same love of lunacy.
One of my hobbies is antique clock and pocket watch repair. I rely on old catalogs and manuals to find part numbers and the proper names for pieces that are still available to order.
Awesome content. Keep it up 😁👌🏻
Is that martian space suit done yet?? Cant wait for that video.
It must be so entertaining to watch you when you come home from the grocery store
I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to have things placed and ready to go as opposed to a pile which really frustrates me because I end up spending a lot more time cleaning up before I can do anything.
Adam for president!
Yes! I've always wanted that Spirited Away Bathhouse kit! Those paper kits are so much fun to put together. I've always loved the architecture of Ghibli movies and to build these models for myself is wonderful. Could you please make a video on it when it's done? I've not been able to find anyone covering that model here on youtube.
'oh yeah, totally" best quote from you ever
bike- two pulleys on the ceiling a rope and a cleat
To have the completely authentic Ark of the Covenant experience, put all the parts of the kit in a big wooden crate and stash it right at the back of the most cluttered part of your storage space! Job done!
Thank you for those thoughts.
Adam Savage for president. :)
I think that other people learn more from a shop injury than the person that had the injury.
"I'm trying to think what you learn from a shop industry (injury), other than you're moving too fast"
hehe this is a funny sentence
I would love to see you do a large metal-earth build.with you signature adding on and weathering
My current edc belt knife is the first one Ive ever made tree hat didnt draw blood. Recycled brick saw blade with ebony and mahogany handle with radio antenna for the handle pins. Even the sheath was blood free. Lol
Can we please get an update on the Dodo Bird projects??? :)
Thank you
It would be cool to see the floor plan design of your shop.
I have a great example of learning from a shop injury. We found hard drive disks that looked like steel, we tested it with a magnet to check it. We put it on the mill and when we were milling it we quickly found out it is plated glass. It shattered and the pieces got shot everywhere. So we learned to take time researching our materials
Savage for President? Sure!
On the bike stand. I've seen neighborhoods with on at like a park. Could always privately supply the kit to you neighborhood or parks department.
love you bro
A paper cut is about the worst a poet can imagine. What a gig.
You are right. Normally when injuries happen the person haven't paid enough attention to the work. That's why most of the severe accidents happen to the more advanced workers. The newer once are to afraid to make mistakes to let their attention wander.
As a New Mexico Tech student, I concur. Sad I started after og Mythbusters had already ended.
If you do want to glue your Legos together. Acetone applied with a q-tip is the ideal choice to weld the pieces together. No sticky fingers
One thing I've said to numerous customers at work, especially in the earlier days of the pandemic in response to them saying they're not worried about getting sick was always "It's not about you. How would you feel if you made a loved one sick who ended up dieing". That tends to stop people in their tracks. That's the message our government has been getting out there from the start.
I know this video is a couple years old now but I have a suggestion: make your Arc of the Covenant part of your shop infrastructure with storage inside. This idea might help to find place to keep it after completing the build. The main box could be a trunk, a cabinet, or even a set of drawers of done right with minimal deviation to its appearance, while making the coolest piece of shop infrastructure you have ever had.
Fantastic
You and your man cave are life goals.
Love you ❤️
So yes new Mexico rules in tech and hats. Welcome to my beautiful state !
Even as a kid I remember learning new ways to make a plastic kit airplanes better and more realistic looking by seeking out tips and tricks from other kit builders. Old tips on how things were done could be a cool new segment on the channel. Video link for interviews till the Situation improves. Some shop visits to see a technique in action would be welcome. Once the coast is clear I'd really enjoy that kind of content. 👍
A C Stand with a cardellini clamp works great as a bike clamp!
I remember watching an episode on myth busters about the spray that made things essentially indestructible and was watching some cop program last night and had a thought ,would line x sprayed onto a cars tyres prevent stingers from working ?
That's why the memory palace technique works so well.
Bruno Van Vaerenbergh Freshman year of high school. We made one in some class and I still remember objects. There was a baseball bat hanging on the wall and an elephant sitting on the bed. And now it’s been like 8 years.
If you’re looking for a bicycle work stand Park Tool makes decent foldable one for home gamers. Add a sand bag to the leg and go. Used them on tour when I worked at a bike shop in my teenage years some almost 20 years ago. Same model is still available now but better have come out since.
good words Adam
ADAM! Long time fine from the early MB days! TWO THINGS FOR YOU TO BUILD PLEASE: ... 1.) Mandalorian cosplay..... 2.) Burrito, the ultimate A. Savage burrito!

I've done a lot of work teaching lego robotics, which uses the lego technic system. At the end of each course/class we need to pull apart the robots that the kids had built, (and you learn why some build techniques are so bad by doing so). At one point, we were pulling apart robots from a particular class, and there were lots of axles used, and pulling them out takes a good bit of effort at the best of times, so after dozens of them, the skin on my fingers was raw, and was really tender for a few days after.
Probably the worst injury I've gotten from lego.
Another potential injury is from the robots themselves, because when they're built up, they weigh about 2kg, built with solid parts, so I really wouldn't want to drop that on my toe.
I'm sure most builders have assembled something and noticed when almost done they put every part on backwards or missed a part that would need almost complete disassemble of project I always try to double check each step now...
I know how you feel, I am building the Ark of the Covenant from scratch and I live in a two bed room apartment! Don't even know where its going to rest after the build.
I remember they took the mick out of crazy glue in the Lego movie, the called it the craggle as some letter were etched off, for me personally I wouldn't dream of gluing my projects
@richrebuilds needs to get to SF and get that land cruiser done!
You may want to check with guy upstairs before you use the Ark of the Covenant as a coffee table LOL!
So true about bike tools. I have two workbenches in my basement, one filled with regular tools and one just for bike tools. Bike tools are very unique and specific. And yes you do need a work stand, it makes things super easy. That said, I think a bench mounted stand would still work pretty well. You could even make a kind of system where the mount has pegs and drops down into holes on the bench where it would stay super stable until you took the bike off and pulled it straight up and off the bench. It could work. Do I do that? Well, no I have a regular work stand :D
A good day in the studio for me is when the first aid kit doesn’t come out. It’s usually a small thing. A ding but it’s part of using sharp materials and maybe just barking your shin on the corner of something. Bad injuries come from fatigue or not knowing how dangerous something you’re
