Күн бұрынWhile visiting Prop Store, Adam Savage encounters something he never thought he would get to see in person--original production pages of Indiana Jones' Grail Diary prop from The Last Crusade. Having long been obsessed with this book, Adam is seeing for the first time pages that have never been revealed before for replica prop makers like himself!
Check out the props and costumes at Prop Store, like the ones in the Mythbusters auction here: propstore.com/

From what you have described, even if your website no longer exists, a link allowing me to attempt to find archives would be such an invaluable resource. I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of what you've learned or perhaps some of the best places you used and maybe some that didn't exist for you to learn about the props. My gratitude is immense.

The fact that Prop Store basically just ensured Adam place to work in the Archive whenever he wants it is pretty heartwarming. A short series/collaboration on prop restoration seems like a world class idea. Perhaps as a lead up to a auction or other special event involving the featured props? "Prop Re-Store:Savage Edition", or, you know, something better from someone who can title things...😬

I also love the grail diary - it's an incredibly made prop. and the Latin in there - it's correct. phrases like 'verbum Dei' indeed means Word of God, 'semita Dei' - path of God, or 'poculum lignarii' -cup of the carpenter. Latin on the grail table was also correct! Really great stuff. Sometimes in the movies the Latin is either wrong, or they're using a manuscript with completely different meaning - here they really did their homework.

Grail diary was so well made, that they even brought a similar prop in Indy 4 - Oxley's letter, which had a very similar feel to it but not even close build-up or meaning.
@wojtek5385 2 жыл бұрын
oh and there was of course one more page in the movie - drawing of the painting of a knight walking through thin air, while others fell EDIT: 7:14 - that's the one :D . To me that image brings to mind the picture of spiritual path to God by St John of the Cross (you can google his name and add 'nada nada nada' - 'nothing' - the drawing shows a precipitous path of real humble prayer.)

One of the pages that Adam hadn't seen before, the map specifically, is repeated several times in my version of the grail diary. I purchased my grail diary from a seller on the Club Obi Wan message board at least twelve years ago. It is far from screen accurate as they did a hybrid of story/ screen accurate prop.

The rocks page and the knight page. I wonder if the knight page wasn't used or they just wrote the same text on different laid out pages to make up some numbers. The two pages on left in both samples are the same text as well.

Same. Ever since that film (and Ready Player One referencing that as a comparison to the MC's own written record of his Easter Egg Hunt), I became obsessed in creating the "perfect" Grail Diary. For two years, I spent countless paper reams and leather bound diaries (A6 ring binders, faux leather covers) reconfiguring and rearranging signatures for two years until just a few weeks ago I made one. It bears no resemblance to its original iteration (which in of itself was based on the Grail Diary) but it is still leather bound and sewn. It bore the name "The Last Journal" because my mother is rather displeased I spent much of my time making this...

It's actually Henry Jones Snr's Grail Diary, Indy just used it, not to his father's liking when he storms a Nazi held castle. Henry Snr: I should have mailed it to the Marx Brothers. I'd really like a Grail Diary replica, but I wouldn't like one with repeating pages. The Grail could be the reason why Henry Snr studies medieval and became an Doctor of Medieval History, it could also be the reason why he visits certain countries in Young Indiana Jones while on his tour. He did visit France in that show, so he could have visited the library (former Church), I think the diary is old even when he said "He who illuminated this, illuminate me."
