  • Time to make a laser sword hilt! Adam takes a cylinder of aluminum stock and walks us through how he machined his first replica of Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. In the spirit of revisiting his early propmaking efforts, Adam only uses one found photo for reference and explains how to extrapolate details from an image to usable measurements for propmaking. It's a build that goes through some unexpected turns, and ends up being a different One Day Build journey than Adam intended!

    Having lived through any number of projects like this myself, I give Adam the highest praise for having the courage to show a less-than-ideal outcome for a build. Very often it goes more something like this than it goes perfectly the first time. This video is both a great demo of process and the fact that, even though the tools may be precision, we humans are not. We work with the best info we have, in the time we have, to get the best result that we can. I like this guy. I like the way he thinks. He doesn't need my praise, but I had to say how I feel.

    For a Mac use illustrator. Make the art board to the massive size you need then in printer properties set your print size to letter. Your art board will then show a bunch of ghost letter size outlines breaking up your art board. That sizing formula is spot-on. I used to use that as an artist to size up or down on a stat camera. It was also useful to size up roughs to transfer to boards for paintings. It’s amazing how many of those old tricks I use today when designing products.

    Words cannot fully express how happy this video made me. I worked for over a decade as a Welder/Millwright in a metal fabrication shop. The number of times people brought in a picture (or several) and said "can you build this?" and it not be the same when they get it home and match it to other pieces they had was amazing. It is NEVER as easy as it seems to build from an unscaled not dimensioned photo and get it perfect.

    Ive done this with so many applications in my head, I followed every step and knew exactly what you were going. But I’ve never seen it quantified so simply.
    & Nice touch with the diagonal matching technique. I used to survey and overlay several plats on top of each other. It makes so much more sense to connect multiple lines diagonally than shorter straight lines in parallel.
    But when you went on to explain parallaxes, it blew my mind a bit, and I immediately googled it.
    …it’s not a 2D scale image…but a 2D image of a 3D object from one angle.

      As someone else mentioned, there is cut right before he tapes it down. If you watch the paper closely, you will see it get misaligned right before the cut, and then it "magically" becomes perfectly aligned when the cut hits, and you can see the perfect alignment once the tape is down. It's pretty subtle.

There are also versions of the program you can use to print 3d objects on paper then cut out the pieces and glue them together into 3d objects. Another thing I used in the past before 3D printers where easy to get.

    I felt this episode in my soul.
    How many projects have I invested hours into, only to realize that something went terribly wrong along the way? Then you have the terrible options of A, gritting your teeth and try to salvage what you can, or B, chucking it in the bin and starting all over again. It's endlessly frustrating.
    So I appreciate Adam taking the time to show us exactly that. It sounds cliche, but it shows me, a 100% self-taught amateur, that the pros have the same problems in the workshop as I do. Frustrating for them, maybe, but reassuring for me; it can be daunting to see pro after pro post a video of one flawless process after another!
    PS: Adam, if you're reading this, I actually really appreciated the object lessons in scaling, tiling, parallaxing, and yes, even the math you showed us. I have always struggled, and will always struggle, with numbers, but seeing them illustrated helps a ton. Even after all these years, you continue to teach me a lot!

I loved seeing all those heavy tools in action, I enjoyed watching that thing spin as material got side grinded off. I haven't heard these sounds since high school. I could almost smell the freshly grinded metal in the air! I just loved this video, dare I say it was kind-a "zenful"! But man, Adam's got switch to decaf, I appreciate and respect the mistakes made, but he stands there and his eye's are all over the place, sometimes nearly talking at warp speed, and like talking about 2-3 things at once but somehow bringing it all back into 1 thing! But this video was fun to watch, I enjoyed being Jedi mind tricked back to my high school days, but damn 1987-1988, sophomore and junior years of high school, graduated in 1989, this jedi mind trick of time travel, has proven my age, made me feel kind-a old, where has the time gone?
