- Adam is joined by Vsauce's Michael Stevens for a special One Day Build in the cave. Michael has recently taken up playing the Kendama, a Japanese cup and ball toy, and Adam helps make one from scratch that helps optimize his play. This build engrosses both into topics of machining, knot tying, and geometric conundrums.

This is really awesome since I'm going into CNC machining
two old men playing with balls (this is a joke don't flame me)
These two should have a show where they just take common myths and see whether or not they really hold up
Maybe Michael should grow a moustache?
Lesley Allan I feel like he would look too much like a walrus? Idk why
Maybe a beret too?
Yeah they could call it mythbusters or something like that.
Brisk_Avacado you know that's kind of tacky, but I love it
I love how they are about to carve a sphere but then they get stuck talking about brittleness of swords.

bjam89 It's on like every comment, I think it's a bot.
these fkn nerds lul
i love them no homo
This has big "Kid watches as Dad makes their school project" vibes and I'm here for it
Hahaha that's oddly perfect and precise way to describe this video
The way Micheal always tries to interrupt and finish Adam's sentences to show that he knows what the father is talking about and doing, so that it almost qualifies that THEY did the project
@@IIPaused Yeah that's annoying when he does that. You wait until ppl finish talking.
@@BurkenProductions no it's not. hes gaining an understanding and showing interest
I just checked their age gap, cause I was thinking the same thing, and uh... Well, it would be rather unusual, Adam's only nine years older than Michael.
I love the fact that Michel is like a little kid that wondered into his dads workshop and is trying to understand everything
I love how adam is like the wand maker from harry potter. He leaves for a second and pulls out and old wooden box for something specifically you want. Magical almost lol
Imagine Adam noling the wands.

And I loved every second of it
issa toy but its not just for kids
You aren't alone me and three others did the same
@@chanelbrixx8987
Lol. Even adults need toys. Not just dildos and fleshlights.
ITS SCIENCE!
Adam is such a noble guy, not cocky or bragging one bit! I love how both Adam and Michael are both very smart people and know so much but yet their individual knowledge is very new to each other and they are both learning from eachother! I want to possess the same attitude they both have as I feel that will help me so much in my life
At 20:45 Michael's playing with Adam's smooth ball.... such a lovely time. :D
The video in which Michael shows Adam his desk is sorta the same thing but in reverse, except obviously they arent making anything. You can definitely get a sense of kindred and equality from these two, like theyre talking from the same level, but very different fields.
zero chemistry between them lol 😂
Whenever he mentions Jamie I always get flashbacks to that glorious stache
Like a grumpy walrus in a beret
When your friend invites you to his house and you get to play with all his cool toys
what toys were used to make the toys that make the toys though?
@@traceyoconnor6378 legos
21:10 Adam moves his hand away from his ball exposing it for Michael and inviting him in. Michael cautiously approaches and gently fondles Adam's ball. "Oh yeah", he exclaimed with excitement as he enjoyed the texture. Adam's ball was so smooth. On hearing Michael's excitement, Adam let out a warm chuckle. Both Adam and Michael were happily satisfied.
I won't mention this bit: 30:40
A fan fiction in the making...
KX36 let's compare how our damas hang
WHAT. IS. THIS!?
We gotta get more upvotes on that fan fiction comment xD
The thing I’m most amazed about is how naturally Adam moves his hands around a giant metal spinning machine that could take a finger without slowing down. Pure hard work and practice is amazing.
You should see the old machinists that use these all day every day. It’s an interesting sight to see someone run a machine like an extension of their body, no hesitations.
He did actually hurt his hand by being careless on the very same lathe
@@poetac15 its more like complacency
@@melody3741 more like experience in knowing what's safe to do and what's not, it's better assessment of the risks
Adam hurts himself like all the time
For those that want to know, a lathe spins the work and the tools are stationary. A mill spins the tool and the work is stationary. There are also power lathes that can spin both the tool and the work but those are usually 5-axis machines.
Ok, what sort of hypercube 3D chess tesseract Illuminati-confirmed BS are you trying to pull talking about 5 axis machines? There's length, width and height, plus time, but that fifth dimension, I think youre trying to slip a sneaky extra dimension in when you thought nobody was lookin. Well I caught ya, we wont be havin any of that Wrinkle In TIme tomfoolery here. Put it back, you can only have FOUR dimensions.
What are the advantages of one over the other?
@@Coentjemons Very basic understanding is that lathes do well making round parts and mills do well making square parts.
Words Adam Savage has never said: “I don’t have that tool”
As your describing whatever object or built you wish to construct, Adam Savage is just casually narrowing down the possibilities of which tools and equipment will best suit his needs to make that project. Before you've even finished describing it, he already has several in mind.
@Mammouth Laineux autocorrect??
@@grqfes artistic 😊
I fact the opposite, he has said it so many times, and then proceeded to acquire that tool.
@@FreekHoekstra This. A master says either 'I have that tool' or 'I can make that tool'
The knowledge that Michael has and the knowledge that Adam has complement each other so well. Like they are always teaching each other new things
It also really helps that both of them are extremely learning happy.
Edge 33 Yeah, michael thinks more science and math and adam thinks more technology and enginnering.
thats what i was thinking its amazing
i wander what they will teach each other in bed
karam jnah lol
props to either the sound mixer or the lathe manufacturer for making the lathe sound so peaceful and quiet!
I think one of my favorite things about watching Adam make things is that his shop is just as much of a character as he is. Just looking around the place it has so much personality, you can't not discover a new little detail. I've watched this video a handful of times now and still seeing more things i didn't notice before
"I'm really into asymmetry right now" is probably one of the nerdiest sentences I've ever heard
I dunno, I've had some art student friends who have gone on about that as well. =)
@@jubuttib I dunno, I'm also in art seems kinda nerdy
@@jubuttib it's probably because asymmetry or asymmetrical balance is a very important part of Art and making it look complete and good Im In art classes in college and they drill that stuff into you.
Pimskin _
If you consider that nerdy, play a pen and paper with physics students....
Pimskin _ a lot of Minecraft builders have said that
I just spent an hour watching 2 guys build a toy you could buy online for $10. I have zero complaints.
What merit is there buying something you could do yourself? Infertile, useless of you. Have you ever done anything with your own hands?
It's like you didn't even read the second sentence I wrote.
HeyIt'sBaert leave him,i wanted to say same thing.
HeyIt'sBaert some people are angry becose somebody is taking easier roads.(R.I.P. English not my main language)
HeyIt'sBaert i would screenshot your comment with the caption "would fucking watch again" lol I love these 2
I love the chemistry between them, both incredibly smart in different fields, learning and questioning back and forth
zero chemistry between them lol 😂 also is Michael very smart? he always struck me as an average guy, albeit who is able to convey information and theories he has read about
@@gordonlekfors2708 I dunno, I'd assume two guys who hosted a live show together would have great chemistry... but maybe thats just me! 🤔
Yeah they just fascinate each other lol, tho pretty smart idk about incredibly, dont know much about them ofc so all I can say is extremely knowledgeable in their fields
@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 I think creative or expressive might be better words for them, I've never seen anyone else quite like Adam Savage or VSauce. Though I think they're fairly smart, too.
I know this video is 4 years old now and it's probably not important to Michael anymore but there are a few things about this design that stand out to me as a kendama player. There are some important qualities to a well designed kendama that are missing here. One of the major qualities is what's called Lunar Balance. Lunar is a trick that is performed in "tama grip" (the ball held in hand as opposed to your default "ken grip") where the ken is swung up and landed on either the small or big cup resting balanced on the tama. (imagine it's oriented sort of how a telescope would be pointed towards the sky) It's important that the base of the ken isn't too heavy relative to the weight of the sarado (the component of the kendama which features the big and small cup) so that you can easily achieve a stable balance. Another important quality that was missed here was the bevel on the tama hole - it was omitted by choice - but it really is important as a wider diameter bevel, particularly as wear is presented on the bevel edge, makes Stall tricks much easier. Stall tricks are where the tama is landed on points of the ken and sarado other than the cups or the spike, such as landing the tama on the top rim of the sarado leaned against the spike (a "Bird") or inversely in tama grip where the ken is landed balanced upsidedown resting on the tama hole (a "Stilt").You would also find that other tricks such as "Jumping Stick" would be very difficult to perform without a tama hole bevel. Another aspect of kendama design is weight matching. When performing Juggles or a trick in which the grips are switched mid-trick, it's ideal to have matching weights between the two parts for consistent feel in the hand and muscle memory. I won't even get into tama grippiness but I can assure you that most tricks beyond landing the cups and spike are going to be very difficult if not impossible with a tama as slick as this sanded delrin. As far as string/tama-hole friction goes, it is common now for kendamas to feature a steel mini bearing that rests between the end of the string knot and the tama string hole. It wasn't very common at the time of this video shoot (typically it was a plastic bead bearing) but now the steel mini bearing is typical.
I can't imagine this comment would be very useful to Adam or Michael or that this build would ever be revisited but I figured I'd leave this here just in case. It's this kind of nerdy stuff that makes the engineering and designing so fun. Not to mention Kendama is still really cool, I think!
Well, that's what you get when 2 amateurs are trying to replicate something that is more intricate than they thought. By amateurs I mean of course that they don't know all the details about kendama, for example, as those presented in your comment. Actually could have been a nice revisit to make it with a person who can actually then test it in more subtle ways.
I love the 8-ball on the machine. The shop has so much personality
They should have just used the 8 ball instead of taking an hour to make the sphere. : )
@@alexdelarge8772 they wanted a perfect ball

I love the adhd excitement to talk about different things to have fun with and do. It makes what would have been a super short "were making a Kendama" video into "We slowly work our way to making a kendama but then keep getting distracted about fun physics, history, random stuff at every turn"
I love how Adam is blowing his own mind with his building. You can see him go from hardware mode back to regular Adam.
I love how Adam just sent him home with 50 yards of string, He totally had enough of vsauces shenanigans and theoretical questions after that long ass one day build 😂😂
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that 😂. It was like watching the original myth busters but Adam was playing the role of Jamie and Michael played the role of Adam 😂
CNN senate debate
I started watching this and got so lost into it without realizing it was an hour long
Dom same
fuck, me 2
lol didn't even look at the time until I let it buffer a little and saw this comment. I guess I'm busy for the next hour...
I got school at 9 and its 3 and I havent been to sleep yet
Dom lol I just realized that
I love how excited and how much energy Adam gets while he is involved with a project. Its so contagious that you are willing to stay and watch the whole thing without a second thought.
zero chemistry between them lol 😂
It amazes me every time again I see a video from Adam how deep his well of knowledge is combined with not only theoretically talking about but the actual ability to practically use it to create whatever he wants. OUTSTANDING!
"I have this dial caliper I think you'll really like" is the nerdiest sentence I've ever heard and I love it
Up there with “ I’m really into asymmetry right now”
I think "Let's admire some indium" is the nerdiest sentence

Haha! I'm glad I wasn't sipping my coffee when Michael said "threads" and the immediate look on Adams face. Every machinist LOVES tapered threads. These 2 together are a joy, gonna go find the rest of your collabs.
"We can enbiggen it if we need to", Savage terminology! My favorite "Mad Scientist", love it!
I can watch these 2 do anything
...go on...
*anything*
I'd honestly watch them sitting together for an hour listening to a podcast
There's a special type of entertainment derived from 2 men who are vastly intelligent than myself fascinated by a calibration tool for a lathe
How about if they did each other?
This video should be called; “Adam Savage builds a Kendama while VSauces’ Michael spits science facts!”
Adam has a vast body of knowledge, but I find his eagerness to teach someone else even more impressive.
It really feels like he truly enjoys what he does.
I love when Adam trails off with the random sciencey knowledge that he has. Mythbusters really got me into science as a kid.
You know it's confusing when Adam Savage says, "It makes my brain hurt."
lul tru
Lol
Don’t you have a guitar song to dance to?
Adam: "We have a 10cm ball and 1m ball..."
Michael: *We're goin inches fam*
Funny thing is that I've probably never heard not Adam using metric
Adam makes such a great teacher because he's always SO enthusiastic about what he's doing and gets excited like a little kid. It's brilliant
i love how adam has the "i can do this somehow" mentality with literally everything like if you asked adam to make a black hole he would actually think about it and eventually he'd figure out how to do it
hey tested adam here
Kendama's aren't designed to expode, but should they?
~*music plays*~
I love how real this is, no background music or sounds needed.

matt anagnos exactly
Brandon Zeedar he was still wrong
I loved watching Adam's craftsmanship. What a great demonstration of the fun in engineering and artistry! Working on a project with Adam seems like a dream come true
i think a shared thing that i love about these two is how distracted they get while remaining extremely excited
The napkin ring paradox just seemed like a normal everyday chit-chat while relying on deep mathematic knowledge and understanding. Magical
I love these two working together because Michael has so much theoretical knowledge and Adam has so much practical experience that them together is just beautiful
Perfectly said
Yeah but the Argentinosaurus is believed to be the biggest land animal to have ever existed.
Just seeing Adam and Mike's brains whirring away and watching Adam in his natural habitat as he shows off his cool toys is way too much fun! I'm totally hooked on this. Please consider making more episodes like this. I beg you!
Adam is just running around talking to himself and throwing stuff at Mike and he just spends 10 minutes just staring at it
I know I'm here years later but I've never seen someone shorten Vsauce Michael's name to just Mike and it fills me with a unique brand of dread.
The timelapse cut at the end was great to see! The shop looks like utter chaos at first glance, but everything has its place
I would watch hours of Adam explaining all his tools to Micheal. It's like a young boy showing off his favourite toys!
you two should make a tv show together to be honest.. its a duo made in nerdy heaven
They don't have a TV show, but they have a live show called Brain Candy. Look it up.
Hopefully Brain Candy turns into a TV show at some point.
chilly22 pretty sure in one of the Q&A's he said that he didn't want to do another TV show. Something about liking being able to spend time with his family, and being 'too old for that shit'
I ship it
Levi Ackerman iDubbz and Vsauce ship way better
I love how welcoming Adam is about knowledge in his field. He’s so happy to answer questions at any level. Super inviting.
Like, even more than happy, he's genuinely excited to share knowledge!

"It's like Brian May's hair" Ya'll I just choked 🤝😂
2:27 The way Michael's eyes lit up when Adam told him what they were going to make a kendama was so wholesome..
Consider: A movie with Micheal as a hitman, and Adam as a gunsmith who spends the entire movie cooking up something custom for him.
Blade and Whistler...?
Oh but consider the possibilities that concept brings in a video game format! Imagine that in maybe a cyberpunk setting? So cool.
Would watch
Where the just show the victim the process and final then they die from awesomeness
but it ends with him using the weapon on someone who doesn't deserve it, throwing off our perception of such a likaeble character like Michael
Their Knowledge compliments each other so well. Michael is more inquisitive while adam is more engineering and building.
TheBanisher967 Mm, exactly - Michael asks, "What if..?", while Adam asks, "How do we do this?" Something to make the theoretical reality : )
Just for future reference:
To compliment is to say something nice about someone.
To complement is to add to or reinforce something.
But you're absolutely right, they complement each other very well!
Christopher Pilcher that's the way to correct someone 💯💯
Thanks! I don't understand the urge that some people seem to have to talk down to people when they correct them. For all I know, TheBanisher967 already knew all that, and just made a mistake. I know that I make mistakes like that all the time! And so, I just try to give people the benefit of the doubt, and just tell them the facts, with no editorial. If they come back and say "Oh, I knew that, typo!" then, great, no harm no foul, and maybe someone else learned something new.
Christopher Pilcher I love that. Can't stand when people make a little mistake and everyone jumps in and says "no that's wrong idiot"
Adam, watching you build inspires me to keep building. Thank you
I'd love to see Adam have a show where he makes old (-2000) kids toys out of modern materials and original ones to see the differences between them and to talk about the history of such things....
Vsauce is such a great personality, he should be in more videos with Tested.
FearMeIAmLag yes
FearMeIAmLag YEEES
FearMeIAmLag His name is Micheal dumbass.
you couldn't be more right
I like the way he asking question about things..
Watching two geniuses make toys is amazing.
Justiceblast10 yes it is. Also, it’s spelled genii not geniuses :P
Micheal isn't just a genius, he is a drug lord like Walter White!
I scrolled down to the comments, planning to say the exact same thing.
Are they actually geniuses or "hollywood pretentious"? Galileo was a genius
They for sure are knowledgeable and smart, but they aren't geniuses by definition. Being knowledgeable doesn't automatically make you a genius, since you acquired that knowledge through learning and experience. A genius just can do something naturally or is way faster at learning things than others, someone who can do things others haven't even thought were possible.
But kids on the internet that don't do anything than watching vids all day for sure think Adam and Michael are geniuses too, yeah. If I watch every single vid from Vsauce and try to memorize everything, does that make me a genius too? I mean I know everything that Micheal knows, so I must be, right?
I just like these two together.... seriously I could watch them review the phone book and I'd be good.
Thank you for the clear explanations. You cleared up several misconceptions I had that caused projects to fail.
The amount of tools Adam has and the organization he has is extraordinary
The level of educational knowledge both of these men have is amazing
Just a great video.
daniel Goad well, to be fair, they are not smart enough to watch rick and morty
It's more experience than education. Adam has decades of SFX experience. He can pretty much make anything.
They both are college drop outs.
“Educational knowledge”?
Seriously though, these guys are the ultimate friends and I wish I had a friend like that.
Who wants to see a new Mythbusters-like series with Adam Savage and Michael Stevens?
undead890 I think they're doing a new series of mythbusters, they currently have online applications for the show. So I imagine it will be an entirely new cast. But maybe Jamie and Adam will show up, and bring Micheal with them.
I'm not sure though I may be wrong.
I'd definitely watch that.
I would be satisfied with just getting more of these.
I'm sure something like that is in the works with an internet streaming service. (if it is in development then it would be a very smart investment and would go down in history as a total success).
id rather see a new mythbusters with codyslab and thekingofrandom
I could watch these 2 talk about anything endlessly. They both have such a wide knowledge base, but also a wonderful curiosity. One has an interesting fact, the other ask probing questions, and they both make connections to things they know more about. Its such a great synergy, and I want more.
I love this. Y'all are so brilliant! Its an honor watching y'all think through a process.
I thought this would be like a 10 min video... Thirty minutes in and I just realised it's a little longer then 10 minutes.
TUCKER InABox lmao me too
I watched it over 2 days
Exactly the same here lol
Same here haha
I thought it was gonna be 30 minutes, and tfw after reading your comment I realized it was twice as long.
If there was a show that came out once a day or a few times a week that's just the two of you building geeky stuff in Adam's shop and talking about A) science and B) engineering... I would subscribe to CZcams red purely for that show. This is not hyperbole. I love the way you guys work together!
i totally ship them
treschlet I
It’s too much power to have these men in the same room together
It's subtle, but I love the line (around 25:35) "you are potentially right". Both an acknowledgement of "there's something worth exploring here", but also "I'm not certain of the answer"
I have a wierd feeling that adam savage bought a lot of delrin for a project that failed and now he has to get rid of it
He likes to buy large quantities of materials in general.
@@Crandelo95 Makes sense. If you have too much of a material your problem is storing it, which is a reasonable problem for anybody to solve.
But if you have too little of a material, your problem is getting more, which at the very minimum takes time (driving to a store, ordering online and waiting for shipping, etc.). I'd hate to see what happens to somebody like Adam when he's going 100% on a project and then has to immediately full-stop because he doesn't have the material that the project demands.
@@stspy212 aka it's more cost and time effective stockpile
Delrin is just really easy to machine. Thats why he has so much.
Honestly it was a bad choice to have a friction fit between the two pieces made of it. Delrin is a bearing material. It will slip/slide and the cups will move.
@@LeCafeRacer It was a joke but sure thanks for the info
If I had this many tools, I'd be looking for hours to find what I need
omaxman1 haha that's why the shop is carefully organised
Mr. Tuow I would like
build a wood
because i dont know how to build
If I had this many tools I'd spend literally the rest of my days building stuff in my basement.
Александр Лебедев Тебе нечем заняться?
If hes anything like 99% of guys, you only see about 1% of his stash on the surface. In his shop tour video you get a better idea of the dizzying volume of shit this guy owns. I'm 100% jealous of the amount of wicked tools and shop equipment hes got. Just his stash of parts and pieces is wild. There would be no way to cover the contents of all the drawers, boxes, organizers, etc. Adam, the Patron Saint of Tinkering.
I really enjoy the casual conversations that aren't rushed or practiced... just curiosity and knowledge.
I love seeing the timelapse at the end. that whole time there were two people just silently in the room the whole time
This was insanely entertaining. Michael know all the right questions. I dig it.
You're a good dude Adam, I saw the tension in your face when he asked about threading it, yet you decided to give it a go anyways. well done.
31:11 In the background you can hear Vsauce say let’s smoke some weed 😂😂
I have watched this at least a dozen times since it was released. I enjoy it every time
"would you like. would you uh. yes." wise words from adam savage.

good times, good times.

ok
These two are an incredible combo. This video got me to subscribe to tested 4 years ago, and I rewatch it frequently.
I could wander around Adam's workshop for weeks just looking at all the special tools he has for everything.
Continually amazed at the versatility of lathes
IKR
A lathe is the only tool on which you can make another lathe. Its the only machine that can be used to duplicate itself. They are awesome!
Southardknives Nope. 3D printers.
D. C pssshhh
@D.C
Even 3D printers require parts not made with 3D printers.
More importantly, A lathe can be used to make a *better* lathe.
I love Adam Savage. "oh, you want to do (insert idea)? I just so happen to have all of the proper tools and materials to make that happen"
In this magical wooden box
I love the way the simplify things for people like myself who loves stuff like this. Sometimes when I watch other people talk about things I'll have no clue what they're talking about but Adam and Michael give really good examples of what they're talking about
Another collab needs to happen
the title should be changed to "Adam Savage Builds a Kendama while Vsauce's Michael Stevens watches"
Wouldn't we all just watch? Who else has his skill and knowledge?
Robert Ri Probably Jamie.

Bootleg gets it.
If Michael was not there to observe, was the kendama really built?
"Adam Savage and Vsauce's Michael Stevens Build a Kendama... or do they? Hey, Vsauce, Michael here."
this comment is so fucking underrated
Adam savage is a complete genious when is comes to engineering. Insane how he just "gets" things
Wow, so glad I found this video. One of my favorite tested videos for sure!
I really wish Jamie and Adam were able to keep their working relationship after Mythbusters; even if much less frequent collaboration. The two vastly different, yet equally ingenious, methodologies produced some of the coolest solutions and approaches to problems I've ever seen.
I have seen interviews and it seems they argue a lot
From what I've heard they're just different people inside, love them both, love them together but they don't love being together.
They've said that they won't work together on anymore projects, etc. Since they just don't like each other outside of a work relationship. (They barely put up with that from what I have seen)
"I'm happy with this" -Adam
I'm also happy 28min in watching Adam Savage polishing Michael Stevens ball.
My two favorite people! Thank you for collaborating and sharing!
Looking forward to future collaborations😁
Running an old manual lathe us just pure joy and just good therapy. Best stress relief I've ever had. I love my southbend heavy 13

lol i clicked on the video not knowing how long it was going to be. watched the whole thing and then when i looked at your comment i then realized it was an hour long. lol i had no clue, thought it was like 30 min
I didn’t need to study anyway...
I didn't even know it was an hour until I read your comment
It's always fun to see Michael and Adam interact. Their energy and excitement is fun to watch. It's like they both speak the exact same dialect of nerd and get excited over all the ideas they think of implementing in whatever project. But they also make a really good team because you've got abstract physics and practical implementation coming together.
I love how each of them bounce off each other with their own unique knowledge
