Dear Adam is that what I am thinking it is on your left arm?
Do you have epicondylitis? 🤗
@@vaiosan775 Adam has tennis elbow; that brace really helps him.
@@tested It is the other name of epicondylitis 🙂 I have it too but not from tennis. From frequent writing on keyboard on a narrow table that didn't have enough area to rest my arm. Thankfully my right arm is ok.
For me take months to get well after 10 days of physiotherapy.
Get well soon 😘🤗😊
I work at max metal and made that order up. It was a mistake that I paid for out of my paycheck. 🫠
The best form of recycling and passing it forward, is using something to make other things for others.
Speaking as someone who was a TIG welder for years before finding my true calling, Please please please create a seperate welding area with a good ventilating fan, block walls, concrete floor, metal door, and a ceiling that won't burn. And, most importantly, get a really loud low-oxygen alarm. I walked into a room that had an Argon leak, and passed out in seconds. There was no feeling of not being able to breathe, either; that is caused by too much CO2 - the human body doesn't have a sensor for too little O2. If I had been alone or with someone stupid enough to follow me in instead of using the rescue stick, I would be dead. That reminds me; also get a long "sheepherd's crook" rescue stick with a hook that can pull a body out of a room.
Mr. Savage I just gave my luthier shop to my apprentice when I was diagnosed with emphysema. It was the best way to continue all the years of work and techniques I developed. My family would just sale it all. I love watching your work.
Got a plug for the new guy? True luthierie is a dying art and needs as much support as the community can muster. Happy to pass the word for the shop.
I hope to do the same with my workshop. Selling everything would only get pennies on the dollar, whereas it could be an eternal gold mine for the right person
Wishing you the very best. What a thoughtful thing you are doing for the world!

He clearly doesn't want a museum but a makerspace --- a way to use not display his tools.
My neighbor, who is 81, today came around and told me that he was giving away a bunch of tools. Drills saws some hand planes and other things. He was lovely enough to ask if I wanted them first. We had a long conversation about how hard it is to close out that part of your life and the general acceptance that comes with that. I will forever be grateful for his generosity... and his Disston No.1 saw vice.
😂
Not gonna lie, when the end of life plan came up I got choked up for a second. So many people have said this but when I was a little kid growing up mythbusters was one of my all time favorite shows to watch and then when I discovered your channel a few years ago it was amazing to see all the things you do and how you keep inspiring people to be creative and learn. Now that you’re getting older the reality of you being gone someday is finally setting in and I just wanted to say thank you 🙏 you’re not just an icon in the movie industry but you are also a beloved part of so many peoples childhoods and adult lives as well and that’s a legacy that I know will carry on even after you’re gone from this world brother ❤️ ✌️
You’re so humble, but as a near-lifetime fan, I am POSITIVE much of your shop will be turned into a bonafide museum. Let the tools out the cases by all means, but at least save some of your one-off projects and the general layout. Being able to visit your space and get a glimpse inside your mind would be an honor beyond compare.
Nah, it'll become a shrine to St. Adam the Savage, patron saint of makers and busters.
@@stevenbergom3415 a shrine where people gather to use table saws and hand drills as well as gawk at the eclectic items hanging from the ceiling.
@@stevenbergom3415no offense but Adam will never be a saint until he turns away from his blasphemous vocabulary. Not saying he should or whatever but we shouldn't categorize people as saints willy nilly. those people have devoted their entire life to others and strived to live as holy as possible
@@permabearxbtyou must be fun at parties
@@permabearxbt I don't want to burst any bubbles, all real saints even the one fit your description, have scalations in there closets, it just how big or small they where? (well if your going as saint the smaller the scalations in there closets or closet is the better, but we all have something? and if Adams is a poty mouth, you can get a lot worse thing to do?
I will start a fundraiser to take it over and turn it into a museum if you let me. You know I'm not joking.
If Adam ever was up for that I'd sure pitch in. I think The Savage Museum of Making has a nice ring to it. Could make it part museum, part workspace for classes taught by local or visiting makers.
Kyle here ? Like one of my CZcams God talking to another of my CZcams God ? Did I die and went to Heaven already, or ?
@Adam, please talk to Kyle about that. Please open a museum together. You know we're not joking. :D
Tools should be used, the products of these tools should be on display.
I cast my nonexistent vote to this.
Hands on museum
Oh my god. Adams shop turning into a public maker space (after he is done with it) would be incredible. The inspiration and just emotion of being there would be an incredible place to work.
If his shop turned into a makerspace, half the stuff would be busted within 6 months
@@gorak9000 unfortunately true
This is what I was thinking. Others are talking about turning his shop into a museum after he goes, but I think he'd be much happier if it was turned into a freely usable space that ran workshops for children and young people interested in learning to make things. I can't think of anything that would probably make Adam happier than children learning to make their own toys (and a little science along the way).
Imagine stumbling upon Adam's garage sale. The gems to be had!!
People wont know how crazy I am until I die. Most of my things are cataloged for insurance, and I've had a contingency e-mail that I pause from going out every month in case I die with my will and goodbyes that I update once in a while. I've had an end of life plan since I was like 14. I had several surgeries at a young age that had high probability of death so I guess I just came to terms with it at a really young age and have always planned for it. I don't wanna die at all, but if I do I know I've taken care of a number of things so many other people are afraid to even think about. I have helped a few other friends with this kind of planning and it's really rewarding to me.
I'm part of a Tool Library that received a generous donation of one man's workshop. We're talking SawStop, drill presses, planer, bandsaws, and many small power tools and hand tools. What's even better, he taught several of us how to use and maintain the machines.
One of the most liberating times of my life was after I retired. A few years after really. I decided to sell my house in San Francisco and RV full time. I was putting stuff on craiges list and figured I'd sell it all and throw away what wasn't wanted while the house was being listed and shown. It sold the weekend it was first shown. Seeing how slowly things were going that I was listing. my leisurely plan to sell everything was ended. I started giving stuff away. That wasn't going to work either. I did have a 30 day exit after the sale clause in the contract so that's all the time I had and it got down to 2 weeks left and a crap load of stuff still in the house. One visit was a guy with a pick up truck that came to get some single item and it dawned on me, "Hey, do you want..." and I loaded him up with evrmerything he'd need to finish a house. I emptied the house in that 2 weeks. Oddly enough I gave away stuff I'd bought and sold stuff I'd gotten for free. Junk I'd put on the curb for trash pick up, people asked what I would take for it. It made the whole process fun. I unloaded 3000 sqdt of stuff in that 2 weeks and the last thing I sold I sold at a massive discount and it was picked up the day before my deadline. Getting rid of stuff is a good feeling. I didn't really end up throwing much away. I did spend almost a week burning financial records that were decades past being necessary to retain.
I think there's a happy medium between a makerspace and a museum. A learning space where the tools can be used to teach new makers how to use them, while all around are exhibits housing your projects to serve as both examples and inspiration.
You've talked the talk and walked the walk about lowering the barrier to entry for new makers. Leaving it all as a teaching tool would, IMHO, the perfect way to sum up and cement that legacy.
1:07 this is exactly why seeing warbirds at airshows is so fun, some of those planes saw combat and the idea that they get to spend their time in old age inspiring and entertaining people while being cared for by a mind bogglingly devoted team of people is just really nice to think about
Leaving an abundance of stuff for your family to deal with is something that’s is ok to talk about, good topic. The older I get the more I take catalog on the items I collect or tools I purchase. In the last few years I definitely have not purchased items because of it being so specific/unique and maybe hard for my family to dispose of, more items that are expensive or for a very specific purpose. All in all, no matter the age, I think it’s a good thing to think about if we really need an item or not. It has inspired me to collect less items or just focus my collections on a smaller more healthly amount. Also, I am getting over the rush of buying stuff, which is addicting. I enjoy Adam’s collections, and glad he can share these detailed stories about them and not let the cool knowledge be forgotten.
My grandpa went hardcore into documenting his stuff. He wrote a small note on pretty much everything that wasn't basic "stuff". He numbered small items like jewelry and had books with known values and small stories on ALL OF IT. Stuff like "I bought this to my wife in "shop" in 1939 for x, she loved it, I didn't enjoy paying".
In the photo albums he had a story on most of the photos. Known dates, locations, why they where there etc.
It made the whole experience of cleaning out his house a lot of fun, brought up a lot of good (some bad) things from my dads childhood and we laughed a lot. Also he admitted that he did aquire the towns first ice hockey rink through illigitimate means (he stole the damn thing somehow)... We knew of the rumours, but he never admitted to it, politician as he was!
@@Celciusify I love the note idea!
I love your partner’s nom-de-guerre, “Mrs Don’t-Try-This;” it’s so perfect.
It's always nice hearing the shared philosophy of what a garage sale should be. It's nice to make a little money, but the stuff should be priced as you said, "getting your stuff into someone else's house". It sparks a childhood memory of my family holding a garage sale on Black Friday almost every year when I was growing up. My mother made a point to have things priced to move, and it was such a good deal for our community that the one year we didn't hold it, we had people driving by our house all day to see if we were going to have said sale. Heck, we even had a handful of people knock on our door and ask. I took that memory, and use it whenever I do my own sales now. I price the things to move so people can enjoy them. Yes I may have paid X dollars on a table 10 years ago, but the simple matter is I got my money out of it. The fact that I used it and cared for it, is payment enough. So selling it for cheap ensures that cycle continues.
Side note, if you want to see a fantastic maker space, I highly recommend visiting the InVenture Studio on Georgia Tech's campus, next time you find yourself in Atlanta.
I love that you brought up the armory at the Met! As someone who does Medieval Armored Combat (which if you're interested in trying, please reach out), I'm fascinated by the continued use of historical artifacts in the creation and maintenance of armor, especially since 90% of the stuff we use NOW isn't too far off from those original tools. ⚔✨
I really glad you're out here pushing the inheritance issue. I've seen so many of my friends having to deal with parents' stuff, we're dealing with my Mother in Law's quilting shop right now. Helped someone else out sell off my friend's game figures and SCA armor when he died. Not to mention the woman in Florida who threw out over $100K in model trains because she was tired of all the "toy junk" in her house. Its just so much trouble if we don't prep for those contingencies for them.
As for the lighting, that's what made the huge difference for my in my workspace. Just a bunch of LED lights turned it from a crypt to something I enjoyed being in. You'll really appreciate the difference.
there needs too be an adam savage museum one day. I would travel to visit that and see all the exhibits
Of course, we would need an animatronic version of Adam Savage to welcome us and maybe offer a story or two.
Adam Savage's Maker Space
@@InsoIencemaker space, museum, and inspiration center!
I’m an art conservator and this is a huge part of conservation, particularly since the 1980s to now is such a refreshing new idea of cultural heritage items and their practical or even religious uses. Thinking of conservation and what you may do to conserve something involves considering why it’s being conserved and how it may still be used. I love the idea of keeping using things instead of locking them away because of their history
Finally, the question I have thought about for years but didn’t want to ask myself.
I lost my dad in 2020 and man, his shop was tiny in comparison but so overwhelming to sort out things I would take, thinks my siblings and their kids would use, things my mom might still find handy and things that could be sold. The fact that I had to pause and have memories on things didn't speed it up either. I couldn't imagine being one of Adam's family members trying to sort it.
My entire suite of woodworking tools was started from a man who was downsizing and had to leave his garage behind. Between my dad, 2 brothers, and myself, I like to think the majority of the tools he shared have not only been used, but inspired a new hobby of myself.
Living halfway across the world, I would relish the opportunity to visit your shop one day. Your skill and enthusiasm are immensely appreciated, and watching your projects is a great source of inspiration.
I’m glad that you have had this conversation.. As a first responder I see too many people that don’t have this conversation and it can devastate/destroy a family and friends to have to deal with it…
Thank you for confirming my opinion of garage sales!! It is to get rid of stuff - not to make back your purchase price. It drives me crazy!
Man, it is neat to hear that my process for "culling" stuff is lockstep with Adam Savage. Getting stuff into the hands of people who will use it or love it more than I can/do is a big deal, and everyone wins that way.
I have a much smaller but similar issue. All my bikes, all my tools, all my old comics and all my other stuff. I was born in 68 so whilst I hope I have a good while left to go, I need to start planning now.
I have a really nice collection of useable antique and vintage woodworking tools. It was a joy to find and restore them. Ive told my kids to save what they want but to put the tools out there so someone else can experience the joy of finding them.
I'm working on laying out my office/cave area from scratch, and your recent videos have been so helpful just for helping me think about the processes to how I work, and for tricking my ADD/autism into feeling like I'm got someone working alongside me
Adam's display of the everything of everything shop, is so satisfyingly nice, the fulfillment even spills over into loving my own shop's chaos
You've made a massive impact on generations and you seem determined to continue that legacy and I love it
Don't let other videographers instill a fear of TIG in you Adam! It's one of those skill sets where there are few very vocal and judgemental people that make a lot of noise. This leads to the comments like "sorry this looks bad" even when the weld actually looks pretty good. For all the things I have seen you do following you over the years, you can absolutely do this too!
Looking at you in such organizational perfection makes me smile. I saw you build something recent and I swear you worked twice as fast! Yay you Adam!
Love it! I have just great fun getting tools into the hands of folks that need. It’s fun!
The question we we’ve all been thinking but didn’t want to ask.
Right on brother,it's so great to hear someone who understands that tools are better when they are in hands that are using them. The money isn't the point,passing on the love of creating something is and I thank you for passing that and the tools to do it on to others.
Your shop is a dream that you have worked hard for and on. Congrats. Always a pleasure to see inside the space and mind that uses it.
One thing I would love to see as time progresses is a 3D/LIDAR scan of the spaces which can' be recreated in VR, this allows us to get ideas and share feedback on our own successes we have in our own shops from something we may see in yours. I only wish I could have my shop as clean as yours but I know it's because the storage system is terrible and better lighting would probably also help me too.
Assistants!
Great idea
Listen, my belief about TIG welds and the internet is, it is kind of like when you clean your house before people come over. You do your absolute best to make it perfect, then when the come over you will always apologize and say “I am sorry about what a mess our place is!” To make them think that it isn’t the best it’s been in a long while.
If you get the weld structurally sound and somewhat presentable. Be happy with that.
Not a museum, a workshop for aspiring artists.
Really impressive your willingness to take on a question that would be perceived by some others as intimate or intrusive, yet you shared a bit of how you view the tools and the space. Really like this video
Founding a makers cooperative seems like an incredible way to cement your legacy by giving those who share the passion the opportunity to participate and build and share in work of creating and making.
I'm excited for you and all these exciting cave improvements and upgrades!
Hey adam. I just wanted to let you know that I think its really cool what youre doing with this channel. Its awesome to hear your introspections and thoughts on things. Always love to hear your side of things and how you view things. Thanks adam!!!!
tools exist in 4 catagories.
1. in use
2. infrequent use
3. disrepair
4. dust magnet
So where would you categorize "completes the set"
@@RowanHawkins doesnt matter if it completes a set. it's either in use. infrequent use, or dust magnet.
@@RowanHawkinsfor me it’s infrequent use. I’ll buy a set because it’s cheaper to get the set than the 5 I use all the time and no sooner do I get the set and moan about the trivial price I paid over the 5 I need then suddenly I need the two or three I didn’t think I would need and the one I was certain I absolutely didn’t need.
SOO many great recommendations and strategies in your shop. I've used many in building my own space, and its been HUGELY helpful. Thank you so much for this space. I love the "wizard cave" vibe.
Totally correct about good vendors sending a few extras. Metal roofing is an example. Often get a "top sheet" that works great when you screw up a panel or the count.
This might be the most satisfying video you've ever posted because I have wondering these things about you for years, particularly after Grant passed away. I always assumed you had an end of life plan, but it's really comforting to have you confirm it.
Your example of the Museum of Modern Art using acquired armor making tools to repair/conserve other museum acquisitions reminds me of how museum ships operate. A few years ago, the Battleship Alabama museum restored the shipboard machine shop's 18" Lodge & Shipley lathe, and they are now able to use it and othe machine tools in the shipboard machine shop to perform repair and conservation operations for other parts of the ship. Living museums are the best.
Fascinating! You are still fascinating.
I agree, it's great to hear that it won't be for the most part going to a museum. I feel that sending anything to a museum is gone forever. Not that museums are bad, there's great benefits to museums.
My dad died at 77, a few years ago - held on to much he never used. I started on a minimalizing quest since then, in moderation. Have to say that the less attachment to things, the better. To each their own though.
Look at fireball welding table and Fixtures very nice stuff
i love the color and contrast of the current lighting, and that orange on the boxes is really nice
ive been wondering this exact same question, thanks for the great content
Man, I love the new shop setup. It's so clean.
Can you imagine rocking up to a garage sale and seeing Adam savage there...selling his stuff! Dreams!
As someone who has dealt with estates I can’t tell you how important it is for people to consider this and have their affairs in order. It’s a great question.
I love your candor Adam, thank you for being you.
What a fantastic question. I’m always threatening to leave my niece my studio full of art supplies in my will, but in reality it does bother me to think of whoever is going to have to deal with all this crap when I die. I need to remember that whoever it is that ends up having to deal with it, probably doesn’t have any idea what half this stuff even is. I think I’ll add instructions for it in my will; love the yardsale idea, assuming my heir will want to deal with hosting a yard sale. It’s hard work and can be a headache. I can hear them cursing me now. I’ll be looking down on the yardsale laughing my a$$ off. 😂
Take pictures on a neutral grey background, with measurements (with measuring sticks like the cops have), weight, material the object is made of, detailed description what it is used for, when it came into your possession (year, price, from who). Keep pictures with descriptions. Make the will now. Up date it, as necessary, every year, if necessary. That way there will be no questions. Period. JIMHO
Just sold £500 worth of warhammer space marines for £150 and your video helped me get through the pain of monetary loss. Sold as a lot to a player so they will live on hopefully in regular victory.
Oh I so would love to go to that garage sale! You inspired me to be a maker and then because of your videos my son now wants to be a maker you opened a magical door for him. I do hope you live a long healthy life so you can impact so many more people and kid. Thank you for sharing your talents with us
I always wondered this. Thanks for the insight for the afterlife care of your things.
Funny! Thinking about what happens with all your stuff when you have left, is a question we discussed at TamiyaClub recently. I myself will turn 60 at the end of 2024, and I am still crazy for modelling as if I was 10. But I have to do some deep thoughts about what is coming after me. We had a couple in our motorcycle sidecar community of interests where the man got a brain tumor and died, he left his wife with 150 (vintage) nitro model engines and several old motorcycles. She had to deal with getting all that stuff off her flat. The bad thing was, that some of the engines had been lend to a museum, and the folks there told her, that they can't tell which of the nitro engines were lend to them. What I find hard to believe. During my last move I already made some inventory lists about all my RC and static models. On one hand good to know, on the other hand realizing how silly one has to be to hord such a pile of things ... don't you forget, here in Germany we say: "The last shirt has no pockets, the coffin no shelf and the hearse no hitch!"
Lots of love from New Zealand Adam
✌️❤️🇳🇿.
My Dad passed away at the end of last year, leaving his collection of tools to me who used to be a model maker for photographers and a woodwork teacher. I know I need to sort through what if useful to me and not but it's difficult.
Hand labeled Tabacco tins of screws, carefully organized and sorted to huge bench saws. It's hard to let things go.
This end of life information is beyond helpful.
Oh my gosh! Your wife and mine experience the same overwhelm from the cacophony!
Unfortunately we bought a new home and I’m between caves, so most of my robotics startup (building a practical Mech) is in my home. I feel so bad for her, but she knows how important it is to me and she believes in the cause, that she won’t force me to dump it.
Thanks Adam for all your sharing!
Holy shit what an amazing space. I'm envious.
Thank you so much for talking about this. Let’s normalize making plans before we pass so our family has less to deal with when we pass.
As a highly organized borderline OCD person... it makes me so happy to see all the clean open space around you in your videos now... 😁😁😁
From your older videos I found your space to be overwhelming, just seeing in video (although amazing.) Since the reorganization I think it's open and clean and inviting.
Right?!
So happy you addressed these topics, I've pondered this since I started watching Tested. In a similar vien I wanted to own a piece of mythbusters at the first action and wished it would have been more of a lottery than an action, but at least it was for charity.
I just did that kind of garage sale a few months ago. I loved seeing things go to people who would love them as intensely as had I and my family. The most special treasures I gave away free to the "perfect" person. Very heartwarming, and I still made over $1000.
I like that you are already using the reworked area for your sit downs with camera.
Not sure if this is new but about halfway through this video I noticed the very high video quality. It feels more like we are in the room with Adam with the quality being so high, thanks.
It may also be the lighting -- the new space lends itself to a better light set-up!
Love your garage sale attitude of selling things cheaply so they get into someone else's homes and are used again.
Not yet sure what i'm going to end up making in my later years but most important of all I wish I will be with someone who understands the need of seperate spaces of artistic outlets as you and your misses do! Quite important lesson
My grandmother will be 94. My grandparents farmed and ranched for decades. My granddad has been gone since '11. But, there is still A LOT left out at the homestead. My dad ran a successful machine shop for years and us now semi-retired. He has acquired a lot of tools and materials over time. I too, have acquired so much from a career as a tradesman. Figuring out what to do after they're gone is daunting.
Man, I would love to come to the shop!
And then best souvenir ever a tool I could use !😍
already exited to see whats up with all thos boxes in the background.
Stay tuned!
Fireball Tools makes an amazing welding table and accessories.
Your garage sale philosophy is on point.
Yeah i would love to see a Fireball Tools fixture table in the tested shop
"It is a level of cacophany that she is delighted I have an outlet for...that is not in our house." Made me laugh way too much.
I like the idea of the Adam Savage Tinkering Workshop living into perpetuity, A place where people can learn the arts you've donated your life to. Your gift you have shared the world will keep going in.
youre Mig and Tig systems could always be made to be movable ... and have safety screens for when being used that can be setup ... then the few times you do need them just setup them up where needed place the safety screens and then get to work ... once done pack them up and store them back in their spot ... heck that "hardware Store" space would be a great spot for that to get setup in since it does have the room to support a good sized short term welding spot
Love the look behind you Adam now, reminds me of Jamie's shop at M5 everything in a place/organised looking.
I love the new setup.
I always love how thoughtful you are about all things. The time you invest in pondering the possibilities and sharing your heart with us leaves a powerful legacy. On another note, I noticed you had a large stack of your Savage Industries Sortimo cases and was wondering where I might be able to purchase them. When I looked on your site a few weeks ago I couldn't find them. Thank you again for all you do for us!
Right now, the Sortimos are out of stock, unfortunately.
Ok I’ll keep checking! Thank you!
@@testedOf course they're all out of stock. They're all in your shop.
You have the right attitude. I’ve told my Wife that if I go first and I haven’t reached the point where I’ve parted with things on my own, then she’ll have no trouble getting rid of my woodworking and metalworking tools and equipment if she offers it cheaply enough to make it attractive enough for someone to be willing to get it out of my basement.
Y'know, Adam, you're a good guy. Namaste.
When Adam mentioned the maker space my brain immediately went to Savage Builds. Because in that series all the creators had a communal pile of crap to use but also their finetuned personal collections and that collaboration style in terms of useful tools is cool to think of. Like at some point there will be a maker space, with a lot of people using what used to be ILM/Adam's stuff.
You had me at free tools! I’d love tour!
I had to stop the video to write this.
When you spoke about your wife not coming to the cave, it made me smile because my circumstances are similar. Only I am only 20 feet away from the house. It also makes me dream of a cave that is far enough away that things don't migraine there on their own.l, but close enough that travel doesn't impede the desire to make something.
Which makes me think, what distance is the goldilocks zone for a shop?
The best piece of knowledge I accumulated in my years of TIG welding - the torch should be held so lightly that it almost falls out of your hand :)
Your garage sale ethos is a bright and shining light 😁
I had though about this question, but was too polite to ask. I would definitely attend the Adam Savage Memorial and museum!
For someone with an analytical mind like yours and the manual dexterity you must have after so many years of creation, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding I think would be the perfect type for you to get good at. It's certainly one of the most flexible types of welding with pedal-operated setups, allowing you to work on ultra tiny things that just need the faintest drop of weld all the way up to very very large things depending on how long you want to take about it. You can even use it to melt out and remove metal in a mostly controlled fashion if you turn it up high enough. It's the welding process that lets you see the most clearly what you're doing and I think is the most suited to your particular brand of creation, which ends up resulting in extremely high quality end-products. As with anything else it just takes practice, and you'll find there can be a rhythm to it once you get going on a weld. Good luck and have fun, you got this!
