Hi Adam! I'm a leather worker, and specifically make strapped/belt goods. This came out great! I just wanted to give you a heads up, the strap cutter you're using is made to be pulled towards you, not pushed away. You are using it like a plow gauge, which is another strap cutter design with an exposed blade. If you were to pull the strap cutter towards you, you'd have 5-6 inches to align the uncut leather, rather than only 1 or 2. I hope that helps!
Yup! I had mentioned this on his last video on leatherworking. This strap cutter design is pretty perfect, I've been using it in my shop for over 10 years, and know guys who have been using this design for around 30-40 years.
@@Stevieboy7 One of my favorite parts of leatherworking is the tradition & history. I'm sure that if a better/more efficient strap cutter could be made, we would have it already. The only thing above that model is a machine, in my opinion! But it looks like Adam's method still puts out some great results, I just hope he sees this so he can work a little more ergonomically.
Mmm the bacon of leather-working has to be using a strap cutter. I have some insane sharp german blades in mine, it could cut whale-skin if large enough!
@@Plasticninja_ He only uses it to have a rough estimates and to compare 2 things and your skin doesn't change that much on your on your forearm especially if you are as skinny as Adam is. So it actually makes just as much sense as he originally wanted it.
@@HomoErectusIsAFunnyName Your skin really does change a lot, though. Literally down to diet change tattoos expand or contract. You shed skin cells constantly. Sure it's fine for a rough estimate I guess, but having an unknown margin of error is just unnecessary when a good ruler is exact.
One of the cool things about Adam doing this web show is he gets to catch up on his creative To Do List of all the projects he's wanted to do but never had the time to do before.
DeMerit Badge Idea: "Surprise spare parts": for those times when you took something apart, put it back together and you have surprise spare parts out of nowhere. Happens every time.
Iv noticed with this video that adam is getting really excellent with the camera and setting up shots for the viewer. And how for example when talking about rivets. He mentions them. And then shows the camera up close. Great work Adam! 👍🏻
OK I have to say this. These are “cartridges” or even simpler “rounds of ammunition” NOT BULLETS. The bullet is the projectile only. The entire round includes the projectile (properly called the bullet) and the case or casing. A real round would of course have powder and a primer but these props quite correctly don’t have these components. Anyway, nice work all round but the terminology error made me cringe over and over and over again.
Im over here freaking out because when he said, "Im going with 42 because..." I say out loud, "Its the meaning of life". And then he says, "Exactly. Its the meaning of the universe, life, and everything." Adam is wizard!
I did the same thing. Then 🤨 Adam... are you listening to me, like I'm listening to you... Also I then corrected him that there are actually 6 books (and a short story) in the trilogy.
You talk about the tedious work, having to draw all the lines and punching the holes. I think it is the best part of making. Watching your creation take shape, come to life. It is rewarding to me. Leather is always a great material to work with. Thanks for an inspiring video.
Seems like you need to stitch the bullet strap to the belt every few loops or so. That way it maintains it's holding power even when some slots are empty.
I’m an art museum curator, so my completist character is often frustrated. My place can’t afford to get all I feel we need. No place could! And when, say, the Metropolitan already has an art work we “need,” oh well. They were kind enough to lend to a show, bless them. So hard to send the works back!
Hey Adam, Here a tip from a leatherworker- when punching a lot of holes like you did having it taped off, rub the surface of the tape with beeswax then commence punching. The wax will lube the punch so your not fighting it. Also you had your strap cutter set up correctly the first time you use it by pulling the cutter towards you having the handle as the guide and as you pull it it maintains contact.
literally watched that video last week for the first time. I've had the signed master-replica one since new, and had no idea Adam was involved in designing it.
Great project. I always love the sound of cutting leather. :) I did find it funny when you said; "No acids, just vinegar" ... Also, I was somewhat expecting you to use Chicago Screws for the belt so that you could swap out the buckle for another if you wanted to later on without damaging the leather.
Everything about this project is fantastic; the problem solving, creativity, artistry, skill, subject matter, and passion. When people get to visit each other again this build has to be one of the biggest flexes for "let me show you this thing I made."
Pro tip: punch into some beeswax/paraffin every now and then to let the cuttings slide out of the punch easier, also helps punching in general! Love the belt!
When it comes to the retention of your rounds (it's up to the user), but you don't want it to be TOO tight. You want just enough tension to hold your rounds, and enough looseness to allow you to draw the round out to reload your cylinder as fast as possible; when not using a speed loader. Granted this is a prop belt for prop rounds, but I think it adds to the appeal that this is actually Hellboy's gun belt.
Love these videos of Adam. They remind me of those self filmed clips in movies where the lone astronaut/sole survivor makes those 'if anyone finds this tape' recordings.
Definitely going to use this for my war doctor cosplay! Thanks for the information! It really helps to cut down on what appears to be an overwhelming project.
Hi Adam! Just want to say how much I appreciate your work. My dad was a maker in a lot of ways, but not a very good teacher. And just when I was getting most interested in (what we call now) STEM, his health turned and it lead him down the path of addiction. We're now estranged. Watching your videos gives me a lot of nostalgia from watching my dad work and I'm grateful for they way you encourage makers if all spots and stripes to explore a craft. Thank you!
still waiting for him to make his own shiney clear bullets :) and then to do the full hellboy dress up cosplay (again but) with the gun/ bandolear ( i can't spell) .
Doubt this comment will ever be viewed, but I always fall asleep to other CZcams videos and wake up to Adam. That's how I discovered the youtube channel. Adam Savage has become the new George Lopez to my mornings. The loud music always wakes me up before I would like to wake up, but I always rewind and watch the video anyways
I have read the five books in the "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" trilogy multiple times. I own them combined into a single book though, not as separate books. It's my favourite book to read, with other works of Douglas Adams (like his Dirk Gently stories) coming in right behind it.
The whole Hellboy series that you have posted has been terrific! The Samaritan just makes me quiver with excitement! To own one would be sweet, as would the unique bullets. I’m a great fan of the Hellboy movies, and certain props are must haves. You truly inspire with these types of videos, as well as make us envious of your skills and the collection you have amassed. Just lovely!!!!!! Thank you so much for what you do!
Adam I would like to tell you that I enjoy your videos. Sometimes I imagine that you are one of my friends and I spend the day watching your videos. Thank you very much for being original, fun and hardworking. Greetings from Argentina!
Just to help anyone curious, the easier and more common way of using that leather strap cutter is to pull it towards you through the leather instead of pushing it. He didn’t actually have the two arms mounted backwards like he corrected, he actually had the blade mounted backwards. So the measurement marks on the tool and the blade should be facing you as you pull it through the leather. It’s just a lot easier to control. I’ve been teaching leathercraft for many years and everyone should give it a try. It’s incredibly easy. Have fun everyone.
Lol Adam I was a machine gunner in Iraq in the Army. My combat load was 800 rounds and I had an extra 200 round drum just because. They weighed me to get on the plane and I was carrying 110 pounds of gear and bullets. In the desert in the summer. Best weight loss program in the world. Came home in the best shape of my life after 18 months deployed. 😆
Adam! Long time leatherworker here, I was looking at your leather tools and I didn't see a ROTARY CUTTER. Im sure you're aware of them, but I was skeptical of them until recently and let me tell you, they are a GAME CHANGER! Straight cuts, curved cuts, heavy and thin ounce, floppy or stiff. I find they make a much cleaner line and I have loads more control. Easy to sharpen too! Just thought id make you aware in case you were skeptical like I was! 🖤
I'm busy upgrading one of the older obi wan kenobi hasbro toy lightsabers that have a switch that you pull down to open it and I'm repainting and weathering it to be as realistic as I can while keeping the build, so far I'm 6hours in and being able to watch one 1day build every hour makes it more fun :)
I think next we need a holster for the revolver and the speedloaders to go with that. And then we get an idea just how much weight a demon hunter carries.

Man I love the drudgery idea, I do that as well. I try to find the most efficient way of doing the repetitive task. That's a great tip and well communicated.
Thought you guys might want to know that you're missing the Part 4 video in The Samaritan playlist. The one where Adam shows how he made the bullets. The only reason I even figured it out is because he mentioned in this video that he showed how the etching on the bullets was done in a previous video and I hadn't seen it. Which would have been a real shame because it was very interesting to watch. At any rate, really enjoying the build so far. So cool to watch the entire process.
way too many liberal cry babies who are more then happy to report the video or call the police as they did with the star wars theme because everything upsets their delicate nature
zack9912000 no "liberal cry babies" reported anything. The detonator thing wasn't on a video it was while he was making something for a private customer and words used in correspondence got flagged for bomb making automatically. Same as this wouldn't be someone reporting the video, it would be youtube's AI picking up the bullet talk and flagging it then some poor bastard who has to manually review the flags deciding whether or not it's against the rules.
@@Hudson316 Not talking about that smart mouth, the reason he made comments about the bullets not being real or could never be loaded as real bullets is because moron liberals go around reporting videos with anything mildly related to firearms and have cause entire channels to be removed.
Adam, freshly-loaded ammunition is always bright and clean, it oxidizes slowly over time. I'm a reloader, so I know this. Also, depending on the process used to make the leather, it may actually cause the brass to corrode. Vegetable-tanned leather will not do this, but chemically-tanned leather is more likely to cause it. I've been thinking about building a firing version of the Samaritan, but if you think about how much work it was to make it in aluminum, think about doing it in steel! Plus the additional requirements of rifling the barrel, making a reliable action, etc.
Thats AWESOME ADAM! I like that you made something that Hellboy should have had in the movies. I also love making tthings out of leather, its a lot of fun.
I am a vinyl wrap installer by profession, and I can confirm what Adam says about designers being better when they have hands on understanding of the application for which their designs are used. I can always tell when a wrap was designed by someone who has installation experience, and when the designer has never touched a wrap.
We need a demerit badge for forgetting to wear safety gloves. On a totally unrelated notes, did you know that an angle grinder can and will rip through tendons?
Earlier this year mine tried to run from me, got it by the wire before it hit my knee then it swung and smacked me metal side. Soon As i killed the power did a leg check XD because i do know they will take meat off you
It cuts flesh tendon and bone quicker than you can register pain. Kinda odd watching people in the shop getting cut by them and then doing the countdown until the pain registers.
@@saikawanderer9166 It is extended even more so by the adrenaline shot that blanks out pain, but sawblades and anglegrinder discs remove tissue so quick our reflex to pull back hands as soon something stings is not of much use.
CZcams algorithm, their rules etc are making life difficult for any firearms related content. Even historical content has banned for talking about equipment. The staff doing reviewing have zero expertise to differentiate between Adams content and someone giving instructions on how to manufacture bullets for illegal use
Cutting leather straps seems exceptionally satisfying, in a similar way that popping bubble wrap is. That specific brand of tactile sense-engagment that make the brain go "oooh niiiice"
Yeah, it's CZcams policy re: guns and we got dinged with the first Samaritan video when it wasn't clear to them that it was a prop. support.google.com/youtube/answer/7667605?hl=en

The only reason I even figured it out is because he mentioned in this video that he showed how the etching on the bullets was done in a previous video and I hadn't seen it. Which would have been a real shame because it was very interesting to watch. At any rate, really enjoying the build so far. So cool to watch the entire process.
CZcams: "DID YOU SAY BULLET?! DEMONETIZE!!"
36:56 "no acids"-Adam. Vinegar- "Am I a joke to you?"
"No toxic stuff"
what a master of his craft... so lifelike and so cool!
Happy Thanksgiving to Adam and the team at Tested.
"That is not light!" that is also no Lead...so that actually is light, haha.
It's also not dark. So it's actually light.
I like the giant CZcams disclaimer lol.
Didn't he get the authorities called on him for his Star Wars thermal detonator replica content? I feel like I remember a story.
@@jekster I’m not sure but that was all for CZcams because if you do anything gun/ gun ammo building related it gets demonetized.
way too many liberal cry babies who are more then happy to report the video or call the police as they did with the star wars theme because everything upsets their delicate nature
zack9912000 no "liberal cry babies" reported anything. The detonator thing wasn't on a video it was while he was making something for a private customer and words used in correspondence got flagged for bomb making automatically. Same as this wouldn't be someone reporting the video, it would be youtube's AI picking up the bullet talk and flagging it then some poor bastard who has to manually review the flags deciding whether or not it's against the rules.
@@Hudson316 Not talking about that smart mouth, the reason he made comments about the bullets not being real or could never be loaded as real bullets is because moron liberals go around reporting videos with anything mildly related to firearms and have cause entire channels to be removed.
AWWWSOMEEEEE !!!! U are the best ! AND the HERO of me and my childhood !
Adam, freshly-loaded ammunition is always bright and clean, it oxidizes slowly over time. I'm a reloader, so I know this. Also, depending on the process used to make the leather, it may actually cause the brass to corrode. Vegetable-tanned leather will not do this, but chemically-tanned leather is more likely to cause it. I've been thinking about building a firing version of the Samaritan, but if you think about how much work it was to make it in aluminum, think about doing it in steel! Plus the additional requirements of rifling the barrel, making a reliable action, etc.
Hay Adam, over time, have the measurements on your ruler tattoo stayed true?
I wonder that constantly
Is anyone gonna tell him that Vinegar is an acid? A mild one, yes, but an acid none the less.
Strange, I heard him say "expensive chemicals" and nothing about non-acid
I am reading Hitchhiker’s Guide for the first time right now (just finished book 3), so I very much appreciated the 42 reference!
Thats AWESOME ADAM! I like that you made something that Hellboy should have had in the movies. I also love making tthings out of leather, its a lot of fun.
"No acids just a little vinegar". Vinegar is a mild acid same as in mustard patina process
"cartridge"
Had to scroll way to far to upvote this.
Excellent job,. I enjoy learning new things from you.
I am a vinyl wrap installer by profession, and I can confirm what Adam says about designers being better when they have hands on understanding of the application for which their designs are used. I can always tell when a wrap was designed by someone who has installation experience, and when the designer has never touched a wrap.
We need a demerit badge for forgetting to wear safety gloves.
On a totally unrelated notes, did you know that an angle grinder can and will rip through tendons?
Earlier this year mine tried to run from me, got it by the wire before it hit my knee then it swung and smacked me metal side. Soon As i killed the power did a leg check XD because i do know they will take meat off you
@The Emperor helps with sparks but got used to that pretty quick
It cuts flesh tendon and bone quicker than you can register pain. Kinda odd watching people in the shop getting cut by them and then doing the countdown until the pain registers.
@@pouncepounce7417 never heard that part, makes sense though with the rpms
@@saikawanderer9166 It is extended even more so by the adrenaline shot that blanks out pain, but sawblades and anglegrinder discs remove tissue so quick our reflex to pull back hands as soon something stings is not of much use.
Jeez, how many "these are not real bullets" disclaimers does one need?
Well I guess once you get a call from the FBI, you tend to be more cautious with those :D
How many easily triggered people are there surfing CZcams? Now you start seeing the issue.
CZcams algorithm, their rules etc are making life difficult for any firearms related content. Even historical content has banned for talking about equipment. The staff doing reviewing have zero expertise to differentiate between Adams content and someone giving instructions on how to manufacture bullets for illegal use
@@davem2369 nah the fbi called him one time because of a video so guess he’s trying not to get anymore calls
Because CZcams employees all have dementia and will forget if you don’t remind them and hold their hand throughout the scary bullet video.
Cutting leather straps seems exceptionally satisfying, in a similar way that popping bubble wrap is. That specific brand of tactile sense-engagment that make the brain go "oooh niiiice"
Savage Armaments & Munitions - sounds really cool.
Would be cool if you went to anvil gunsmithing and did a collab with Mark Novak and built a REAL Samaritan.
Its sad that Adam feels he has to stress that the bullets could not be real. Almost apologizing. So sad..
Yeah, it's CZcams policy re: guns and we got dinged with the first Samaritan video when it wasn't clear to them that it was a prop. support.google.com/youtube/answer/7667605?hl=en
@@tested dear lord i hate youtube
This is just amazing, I would love so much to have this
I really enjoy every second on this video.
Tested: "These are just props."
CZcams: press X
