For this live stream, Adam will be weathering the Star Wars thermal detonator kit that he made recently in a One Day Build ( • Adam Savage's One Day ... ). Since it's a machined metal piece that's chromed, Adam can do some real weathering to the finish by taking a blowtorch to it before adding paint and grime! (This livestream took place on 5/5/20)
Thanks to Khal from KR Sabers and Francisco from One Replicas for this lovely kit. You can find the parts to build your own at: krsabers.com/ and www.thesaberarmory.com/

I love your channel, because you make us/me, feel like you have known us for years, and we are your best friend. You are so down to earth. It's something special to see. Thank you! We, my son and I , are makers as well. My son has a master's in mechanical engineering. We manufacture retrofit fire engine flanges for fire trucks across the country. They will enable a fire truck to hook up their hoses on the front, side, or whatever location they need, to provide easier and quicker access to hook their hoses up. I don't think I can attach any pictures, but the stainless tog welds are second to none, done by my son Jevon.

Adam, keep these coming! I know it's probably a decent amount of work to come up with ideas, figure out a way to execute them, then film it and send it off, but I've been following them with great zeal. I listen to you do these while I work from home, and I find them interesting and relaxing. Here's one for you: I have recently acquired one of those large-sized tool boxes that has another large-sized tool box on top. This is a 5-foot-tall combination bank of thin and less-tin drawers, down to a couple of deeper ones on the very bottom. This has made me very excited because my tools have been scattered throughout my shop in various nooks and crannies, but now I have a home for most of them! Here's the problem: what tools do I put where?? Do I put the screwdrivers, in the tippity-top drawer, or further down?? I will just have this one place for most of my tools, so I'm trying to think of how to organize them!

Hey Mr Savage, its fun watching you work on projects. I'm super excited because I'm about to start another big project of my own and I thought you'd like hearing about it. I assume you saw that a guy modded a one wheeled vespa last summer... And as a long time vespa fan I am building the second uni-Vespa in the world! I'm about to receive delivery of the engine and wheel, which is about twice as powerful and fast as the one in the Italian original! If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out some videos of it. Just sitting in quarantine and wanting to share my builder excitement! I will probably post some videos of it in a week or two. You seem to have every tool ever made wow. Your workshop looks like a cleaner version of my grandfather's welding shop (carbon soot).

@chamoo232 4 жыл бұрын

A bit of weathering can make a hilt look so much more real. A few scratches here and there. A couple dings. Sanding the edges of anything that is painted black. Dry brushing it to make it look dirty. I have a Starkiller hilt and weathering it was my favorite part of getting it.
