Thanks for watching!
#adamsavage #onedaybuilds #tools - Věda a technologie
My dad was a carpenter and I swear he spent half his time in the workshop building more workshop to make building more workshop easier.
We still joke about how I bought a trailer (one of those harbor freight folding utility trailers), to build a shed (so I could pickup materials), to put the trailer in the shed lol
It's shockingly common how the end goal of some projects is to support the projects themselves.
I chose woodworking as a hobby a while ago - one of the first things I did was buy a used workbench so I could start building a workbench, which is going to be finished soon I’m sure, and almost every other project so far has been a tool or a jig or storage for tools and jigs. Fun, though.
i love doing workshop infrastructure projects as much as regular projects!
All jokes aside, it's a flow state thing. You can get more done on non-workshop projects in the other half of the time if your tools and workspace are working efficiently for you than if you spent the whole time on non-workshop projects. That's true of almost any type of work. Stephen Covey made millions calling doing that for your skills "sharpening the saw".
I installed pegboard in my garage the other day and put all my wrenches + other tools on it. I don’t know why, but it gives me more sense of accomplishment than other projects around the house.
The whole, "I should clean, but I'm going to make a thing instead," thing is such a relatable vibe. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels it.
Hah, yeah, he starts with: "My cave is messy" and i went: "So is mine", and he goes "and instead of cleaning, i'm going to make a thing", and i'm like.. yeahh i was going to put this on on the backgroud so i could clean, but i'm probably just end up watching the video instead.
Well, there are at least three of us, clean? Rather build ( and make more messes ).
I’m more like “I should either clean or finish one of the things I started, but I’m going to start a new thing instead”
Would make a great t shirt
If you have ever machined plastic the crap makes a mess. Think it is about as bad as sanding hardwood. Might as well make a bigger one before you clean.
Watching over the years as The Cave fills up with machinery and done projects like a screwdriver stand...how much more can one stuff into a closed space? Never change, Adam! You rock!!
Hearing "I messed everything up" after 10 minutes of speechless work montage was hilarious.
At 7:52 it's cool how your LED lamp's strobing causes the spinning swarf to freeze in position, like helicopter blades on film.
Neat!
makes it look like it's spinning in slow motion. it happens to the drill bit too when he takes the swarf off. So cool!
@@Daveronin01 Yeah and when I wrote that I'd only just started seeing the effect. It got even better with multiple flanges and wings drifting slowly around. I was hypnotized! 😵🥴
I assumed it was the camera shutter matching the speed of the drill 🤔
I didn't consider it could be the lights strobing, that's interesting!
didn't for me, I guess because I have a higher refresh rate.
The time lapse with the music gives that sequence a very Oceans-11 feel
Niice. I've been making a bunch of electronics/watchmakers screwdriver tool holders myself. I use what's cheap locally (pine), ~60cm long. Make a nice edge with the router, drill ~10 12mm holes and 12 staggered 4.8mm holes. For the thin holes I cut 5mm copper brakeline pieces roughly 2mm longer than the thickness of the wood. Deburr and gently nock each piece through the wood, then lay it on the anvil of my bench vise and hammer the top ends until they're practically flush. It makes the copper tubes mushroom and expand a tiny bit inside for a solid friction fit without adhesives. Then surface scorch the wood lightly with the propane torch and stain it red mahogny with this stain-laquer combo thing, giving it a very slight extra coat to get a shiny finish (one regular coat soakes so well its like stain only). In the 12mm holes I then press and epoxy cuts of 12mm black PCV pipe, and finish it off by taking a cone-deburr drill to the top surface of the copper pipes to remove any stain-stains and inward mushrooming, and get a nice tapered bright copper opening that ends flush with the wood.
Really cheap to make but looks really nice.
Color coding works a lot better with colors than initials for colors, doesn't it?
I too am going to start autographing my finished projects. Nothing says done like signing your work, and better yet, furniture generations rummaging through a garage sale will think, “Man, I have to buy this. It must have been made by someone really famous!” 😂
I aspire to enjoy my job half as much as your sound editor does
The scrap nylon spinning on the drill press's bit looked so ethereal.
Adam: Watching you hand label the carousel, I was surprised that you weren't using the "hang it off the edge of the table" technique to make writing on it easier. My dad showed me this trick years ago for labelling book spines. It allows you to use the table surface as a hand rest, with the awkward object in line with the surface. It makes for much cleaner lettering, even on the weirdest-shaped (small) objects.
Can't believe his Makita 12v Max batteries are still going, I loved that Drill/Impact combo back in the day...
Great idea!
I love that people can even recreate it on a filament printer.
A trick I learned many years ago in another life as a machinist was to use Windex as a lube/ coolant for plastics and acrylic/ Lexan.
hmmm why do you suspect its better and in what way is it better?
Doesn't ammonia oxidize polymers?
yay!! Another gr-r-r-eat build 👍🏼Tested Assemble 🔩🔨🔧🗜📐🖊
8:50 That murder floss is kinda hypnotic to watch.
Watching the stuff peel off the stock is so satisfying
Watching how much effort went into this, I went from "Cool! I need one of these. Maybe I'll copy Adam's" to "Cool! I'll just 3D print it instead"
Adam your amazing, please never change.
Well, he is gonna hurt himself if he doesn't stop grabbing swarf off of a moving machine.
Only Adam would just have a big block of nylon just laying around.
That's what I was thinking" - "Adam pulls out a chunk of nylon bigger than most of the wood I have in my shop"
AWESOME IDEA!
My grandfather was a jeweler and half of his shopware looked exactly like the end product. This was a nostalgic build, loved it!
I didn’t know about the portable band saw stand. Thank you, Adam!
I'm very glad to see you shut the lathe off before grabbing the shavings, a buddy of mine lost two fingers like that!!
He didn't do it every time 7:40 and that is super dangerous! Always use pliers or some tool to remove swarf and stop the lathe to do it! Adams hectic working style around those machines and the fact, that people will take it as an example gives me chills.
Hey Josh, love the normal speed audio over the fast-forwarded footage, keep up the great work.
The shutterspeed vs tool speed in this video is wild.
I know it’s nylon but boy does it look like he is machining provolone cheese at times.
It's Provylon!
I love little infrastructure builds like this since my workshop is just a bench in my apartment. I also noticed allot of camera shutter rate to machine rpm artifacts in this one and it always amuses me.
More fun to watch than a 3D printer making it, but probably less time and material efficient. Also, I love that Adam uses not one, but two, bearings for this incredibly low load application. Either by themselves would have been fine, with the appropriate design change, but he just throws them both in.
it actually probably would have spun more freely with one.
@@zachmoyer1849 Yeah the center bearing is sealed, so it relatively high drag. That said, you want the turret to move smoothly but not freely, so the slightest bump doesn't send it spinning, so a bit of drag works to your advantage. I'd probably have stuck with the sealed bearing alone. But his design works. I just want those screwdrivers :)
Watching that chuck spin has hypnotized me , i just quit smoking , swearing and stealing in one session , thank you so much i owe you the world , one thing it didnt cure was lying ..
what
the best part (for me) of was the last few minutes of the build, and then the attempted plug of the merch store. obviously loved the whole video. Happy 4th, everyone!
As a watchmaker, I enjoyed this video
You guys need to do a Swarf Short. The nylon spinning on the bits is mesmerizing!
I need something like that for my little screwdrivers and tweezers when working on my HO scale model trains.
For whatever reason this reminds me of my dad’s office from the 80s and 90s. He worked in medical illustration and photography at a medical college in Georgia. They had the coolest, most high quality tools. Custom looking medical grade stuff like this.
Every time I see you or anyone use a lave, my heart catches in my throat when you put your hand near the spinning chuck. I know you know what you're doing, and I'd love to learn how to do it. It scares and facilitates me to know end. Great video.
That music hit hard at 13:07.
Whoever runs this can you please tell Adam to frikin chill. I'm out here drilling holes in a chunk of wood like "this is ideal" then this man shows up with the perfect version and I'm looking at my pile of disappointment like I hate you, why aren't you like Adam's.
Literally the same here,.well almost. Was making holes in some leftover wood for storing my Dremel bits. Now I'm thinking I need to build a new workshop like Adam's before I can make a bit holder.
There's something nervewracking about these time lapse shots where your brain doesn't quite have time to register that the machine stopped before Adam is leaning in and checking the progress. lol
I do think he should turn the lathe off before he comes in with his hand to remove the fusilli, because he usually ends up turning it off after that anyway.
It probably doesn't feel natural to turn it off first, but lathes are lethal, as he will know himself.
First time I’ve seen a forsner bit on a lathe, neat.
Very cool. I found this build very therapeutic for some reason. Thanks for giving me something to enjoy during my break.
Wonderful!!!
lol at the @PuddlesPityParty sticker on your Bandsaw, He's awesome
10:00 snatching at the swarf while the drill was running made my blood run cold.
Yup, 7:40 another really bad example how NOT to do it
Brilliant video Adam , your a star mate .
Hello Adam! Would you consider building the absolute ingenious and hilarious Scary Movie 3-shovel, from the now infamous scene where Mahalik cocks the shovel and a shotgun-shell pops out? Surely, it would be a piece to be both spoken and laughed about. Maybe even adding a a wallmounted shotgun rack (display?) - or, in this case - shovel rack?
I was depressed for a long time, and I looked so useless and bad. This music helps me relieve fatigue and stress
I love how Adam spends 8 hours building things from hand, where as Norm could model this in CAD in like 30 min and go to lunch while the Bambu Lab prints it. Different styles. Just great both ways. Love to see a competition build off between Adam and Norm for fun.
I'm also more of a create it with you own two hands kind of guy and it's as much as if not more about the process than the finished product. My 3d printer still does get enough work to make it happy though.
If he just wanted to be time efficient, they sell these for cheaper than the nylon block he used. He just wanted to make it for the sake of making it.
Yeah this please tested team!
@@MerennulliExactly. Sometimes, it's about the journey, not the destination.
For the pro-3D printer crowd, lathes may be more common than 3D printers. Just sayin'.
As I have neither, I am confined to hole saws, a drill press, and chisels. Use what you have.
Possible improvements would be to glue tiny magnets into the bottom of each cavity to help each bit stay put, and to add a shallow baseplate to the bottom to prevent tip overs Just some thoughts.
1:10 I can’t quite understand what you mean Adam
“Woop, woop”
Ahhh…got it! 😂👍
the cadence of that drill press reminds me of the sound of sebulba's podracer.
duh
This was a great build! It would be great if Adam would make them available for sale at the Tested store. I have a bunch of small screwdrivers, and this would be perfect for them.
Nice, built on my 61st Birthday
Please never retire the outro on this video.
Thank you for the vids Adam. May I respectfully request that you use a camera mount that does not wobble?
Yes! Not enough ODB's at the minute
You need to print a couple of strips to go round the drum. The lower strip shows the shape. the upper strip shows the size. More visible than hand lettering.
Very happy Adam didn't take a weed wacker to the face around 8:46
I am going to borrow this idea to turn a tool holder from a beech-wood branch. Instead of an internal bearing I will mount it to a stand using washers and a small lag screw so it can be turned, then mount the stand to a wall.
you would really appreciate the craftsmanship of Vessel precision drivers
Or Wiha
I would love to see adam hand make a watch from scratch with something insane with like only hand flies
Marshall would be proud.
Hello Adam!
Let me first just say, personally, i would have made it out of a a smaller treetrunk, since i love doing that kind of woodworking, or maybe id go for thin sliced of copper/brass/silver and hammer>/smith it in to the shape, if i had time on my hand. i know that the later is something you have tried when smithing knights-armor! for cosplay!
I love your idea, presented above though! But I could also see that you had some problem at the end when trieing to place everything at the right place, reading all that with glasses and all... I know the pain since ive been there...! So ifigrured i should give you some advice!!! : You should use your paints!!!
Color code where the screwdrivers are placed around there sizenumbers and/or shapes. you could make it real pretty even if you like... i would just go for a ring around the number. that way every time you use a screwdriver that are purple, you would start associating the color with the size and shape of the specific screwdriver... that way your workflow wont be interupted in the future haveing to read where what goes. also your prepp time, before a project even start, will also be lowered!! because eventually you will instinctivly reach for the right one, because you just know ;)
I do have adhd to, so i know you might find it problematic, thinking of, 10-15 years forward if you need replacement parts. What if they are of a nother color than you are used to (as with the pencils youve talked about on your channel extensively earlier).... But dont worry! You do have a lath!! I am asuming that your skills are/or will be at the level needed to replace the tools/bits when they break in the future :) that way you have thoes screwdrivers permanently for ever onward and technically only need to buy a few new/specialized screwdrivers that has a shape/size that aren't included in that specific "screwdriver stand".
I'm sorry I have no questions for you. I just want to say thank you for an awsome channel to follow! i can not understand why you have so few followers compared to some other "influensers". i see your work here on youtube as holesome, and I thank the day I found you here. I am curently rewatching all old Mythbusters epsiodes and haveing very much fun, reminding myself of what is real and not. And watching quiet a few seasons i havent seen before, so still learning new stuffs from Mythbusters!!!
SO, I just want to say ThankYou Adam Savage for in my worldview, beeing a grand part of human "maker" history as well as a grand entertainer!. Take care of yourself, stay opptomistic, and keep beeing awsome!
ps. dnt mind my bad dyslexiatic spelling! recently had a laser-surgery adn now the worse of my partial blindness is gone, but still has no glasses, since the eyes need 3 month more to heal, so no point gettign glasses untill the eyesight has stabilised (i basically feel like needing a differnt pair of glasses every day even thou i can see "good enough" without any, which has been awsome!!!)
Very nifty build! ✅
Has anyone noticed how Adam's hair . From when he starts a build to finishes it goes from DR Jekyll to Mr. Frazzled?
The state of Adam's hair communicates a LOT.
@@tested Or he has some stray voltage in the shop giving him the 120 Special. ;)
Классно, сделал! хоть и с ошибками, Адам ты великолепен! :) главное что сделал. :)
Don't know why, but putting the screwdrivers into the stand gave me such a strong reminder of the Jurassic Park Barbasol prop.
You should give your shop floor a quick repaint.
Great video sir 😊
Very cool.
So Adam, when do we get to see a collab between you and Marshall over at Wristwatch Revival? 🙂
We totally want to do this.
I was about to lose my mind at 1:38 watching that right parallel under the block begin walking its way over closer and closer to the hole saw and Impending DOOOOOOOM!
Same, I also didn't know where the parallel was for the moving jaw and was on the edge of my seat haha!
I particularly liked the "quack" at 1:37
@@Games_and_Music An ancient and traditional peck-drilling technique known as "The Goose Peck"
@@stumcconnel Ha!
Im building my own watch atm and ym "hand pusher" thingy looks identical to this
2:58 Wheeeeee!
Nice build although you now have a work top filler with invisible heads as opposed to neatly visibly arranged engineer’s drawer so not sure this is shop progress but defiantly entertaining.
original and usefull
2:02 So wobbly. Adam keeps saying that the wobbly floor is not an issue, but is that really so? I’m always amazed by the wobble.
That might be his camera mount tbf.
That block of nylon runs $500 on MM. Should make the next one from carbon fiber and titanium.
@@snaplash Or start with 4 inch rod stock and dont waste such expensive material. though Im sure its just something hes had sitting around. Just breaks my brain a bit.
I know its your thing but man the sharpie labeling on things really gets me going lol. Would think you have some incredible stamp set or a punch set you could then fill in with paint or ink.
IIJM or does the nylon on the lathe look like a very surreal version of soap carving?
Why is Nylon so satisfying to machine?
Using rubbing alcohol or lard as a lubricant helps a lot when machining nylon. Also, peck drilling is the way to go.
This was a great build, it is great that you had the bearing to make it work, those are tough to get. Per another person’s
comment, this would have been an easy 3D print project… But I understand the visual would not be as good as making this project on your milling and lathe equipment. I thought that it might be a bit more interesting to make your labeling out of 3D printed material, with raised lettering on bands that you fasten to the nylon and aluminum bodies; Instead of hand labeling. If you do that then you can ink the raised lettering to help with readability. Just put ink on a flat surface and roll the lettering over it to transfer the ink to the 3D printed part. Another nice job for housing a cool set of tools!
I will use the idea for some of my precision tools, only using 3D printing as I do not have all the extremely cool machining tools Adam has. Now off to find those hard to find flat bearings
Sometimes the push you need to do something you don't want to do is something you don't want to do even more than that.
Assemble, your read my mind
Good morning from IL.
12:30 you could probably remove the seals and flush the grease from the cartridge bearing for less resistance.
Unless it feels perfect as is 😀
11:25 High velocity nylon right in his face. Miracle he’s not blind or missing any fingers… yet.
Quoting the Joker from 1989 Batman, "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" 😀
HELL YEAH
If you feel the need to have it spin more freely, you should be able to pop the seals off the bearing and clean out the grease in place of oil. just be sure not to poke too far or you rick marring the cage inside the bearing.
Great video 👍🏻 - and I am relieved that none of those spaghetti swarfs were caught by the spinning drill bit and stripped your fingers of everything soft..😮
“My shop is a mess but instead of cleaning it I’m going to build something else.”
If I had a nickel…
I'd have two nickels... Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. 😂
Would of been nice to create a similar 3D printed one, but nice job anyway.
you should fix that light over the drill press, the leds are almost falling :)
Also those screwdrivers look very premium, please share the model and manufacturer, I'm never satisficed with the types of precision screwdrivers I find in the usual places.
LOL
I love Puddle Pity Party
One of these days I’m going to find a set of watchmaker’s screwdrivers that are better than the cheap ones but don’t cost a hilarious fortune. One of these days.
When you put the screw drivers into it around 13 minute mark it kind of reminds me of Nedry loading the shaving cream can in Jurassic Park
I have done just the opposite as I have found the stand takes up real estate on my bench and now they have went in a drawer in my dentist cabinet which is labeled precision screwdrivers
