In the mood for making? Watch Adam make an EDC (Everyday Carry) bag: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d76qqNWh0smcg3k.html

I could watch Adam make random things all day. This could easily be moved to a network.

I can't be the only one that was completely blown away that he cut through a 2x4 in 21 seconds

17:37 That level of self knowledge is the first step to wisdom

The performance of that saw is very impressive.

I love how Adam explains literally everything he possibly can, so that he can educate you as much as possible. He's such a great teacher.

Watching Adam build is like watching a famous artist paint the Mona Lisa. Amazing art.

The amount of knowledge in Adam's head is amazing. I learn so much every single time I watch one of these.

14:45 Guy-"Full safety precautions".... - Adam "Yep"... Turns it on and reaches around moving blade!

The pouch was cool, but seeing the saw blade cut through that 2x4 so fast was amazing! That's faster than my full size saw lol

Bending metal is harder than people think. I was an apprentice metal shop fabricator for year, it was awesome. The shop went out of business and I lost one of the best jobs I've ever had.

You've got to love how Adam just spray painted over his thumb! lol

You mirrored the measurement from the left side with a protruding blade to the right side with no blade, that's what happened.

Adam: That is a line. Beard guy: Wow! That's amazing!

24:26 You terrified me here.

as a welder, this is why I love watching these videos and what Adam does in his spare time. He takes into account distortion and work hardening, even knowing he would have to go through annealing to make the workpiece easily workable again and that is something I really appreciate.

adam just made the best advertisement for the leatherman wave ever. "cuts a 2X4 in under thirty seconds!"

Watching this makes me miss my grandfather, this is just the kind of thing he would do... and he was a man who could fix anything easily, including hospital medical equipment such as x ray machines and whatnot...

put some leather padding in there. It'll shrink the fit as well is increase friction.

Use the extra space/loose fit to line with felt, called a glove, to make a soft faced liner. Protects your tools finish. loved watching you work, you obviously, like me, love the process of building your own.

17:27 Fuck off Norm, it's Will's time to shine.

If Leatherman made this kind of holster id buy a few.

This is my favorite part of Tested :D Adam's One Day Builds are always so interesting.

I’m legit obsessed with these builds. I wish there was more of them. Adam is amazing in these one day builds!

I love how real the episode was and how it goes to show that sometimes you mess up, but it's not really a mess up because you are well on your way to making corrections and getting it right!

i could watch adam build things all day

I have made a lot of cell phone holsters this way. My favorite way to make them is to wrap paper around the device that will eventually go in the holster, mark your bend lines with a pencil unfold the paper and transfer the lines to the sheet metal. I usually use a spray adhesive to apply the paper to the sheet metal then bend on the lines. If you practice with just the paper first you can get the steps in order so your not getting in your own way. For the belt loop I would have made a set of simple dies. Create the female die by super gluing built-up layers of wood to make a rectangular recess about a 1/4" deep. Build the male half of the die like it was a punch. Cut the die shape on one end, leave enough room for a hand hold in the middle and make room to whack it on the end opposite the male die. After clamping the sheet metal in place over the female die set the male die in the appropriate location and whack it with a hammer punch style to form the loop. Another way to do this is make a wooden pattern that mimics the size and shape of the device you want to hold then just form the metal around the wood pattern that way you don't need any fancy sheetmetal tools. If you want something like a sheet metal break but don't want to spend the money look for sheet metal bending pliers, they are affordable and work pretty well. Sheet metal shears work great and if you have a lot of cutting to do a jigsaw sporting a sheet metal blade clamped upside down in a vise works almost as good as a band saw. You will want to clean up that cut with a file. For more delicate objects try lining what will become the inside of the metal with something soft like cork, rubber sheet or Plasti Dip before bending, it will take some adjusting as you go but it works great to protect more delicate stuff like cell phones. Try this, its fun!

Thank you for your show. I especially like the one's where it doesn't work to plan. Rarely do we get it right on the first go. It's nice to see the process, and the learning curve, and not giving up. Always forward. Bill

Finding 100s of aluminum notebook covers in the trash? The Holy Grail! I love learning from these vids, great inspiration!

Adam, you never fail to educate and entertain me. I dont think I'll ever get tired of watching you work. Please keep up the One Day Builds.

Need a co-host who has actually used tools.. He is annoyingly inquisitive, has never even seen a dead blow hammer... Are you kidding me?? Id do this job for free and actually help Adam instead of slowing down every step

I've watched this video three or four times, and every time I just smile when Adam and Wil realize that its too big. I love that you didn't throw out the video. The recap with fixed version is perfect

Necessity is the mother of invention. I can appreciate the simplicity and function of this holster. Nice Vid.

The fucking video isn't meant for people who already know how to do everything its for newbies and professionals alike to learn something. Will does a good job and help clarifies shit for the viewers.

that tool flip at 23:36, I don't know why it's so badass but it totally is.

I could watch Adam all day long and would love to spend some time with him. Would learn so much, he is a master at so many cool things.

"Is that a tool-less chuck?" Adam: Yes. [MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

Yes! New Adam Savage one day build video!

Sorry about this but HOLLY SHIT THE SAW 21SECONDS through a 2×4

This is my favorite video on the Internet. It is so cool to watch Adam work and think as he works

I stumbled across this video while searching for folding knife making leather sheaths. I'm glad. I was drawn in by your passion & energy to create and your love of tools. I have always wanted a leatherman tool. I have a Dewalt but it's not a Leatherman. Now, I "need" one ;) Thank you for sharing. Angel from The Bay Area, Caliboy

Has Adam worked as a teacher before? It's seems like he would be an amazing teacher.

adam: bandsaw will: full safety precautions adam: * switches band saw on and reaches through the bandsaw to switch on a lamp *

As my Dad ALWAYS said, "Work SMART, not HARD"! HARBOR FREIGHT has GREAT tools to fit your need! And, Lifetime Replacement... You are such a "Resourceful Person" of my heart & necessary! Take care Adam, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State

I've been watching these videos faithfully and I have to say this is definitely a highlight! Great to see you be human and comical. 2X4 part had me so amazed!

The layout spray is called Dykem Bluing in Spray or Brush on Form I have that stuff on my hands all day sometimes

I once had one of those tiny dremel wheels shatter and shoot straight into my goggles, never forgotten to put them on since.

There’s something so satisfying about being able to make something that doesn’t yet exist

I can watch Adam build literally anything. These videos are so relaxing and entertaining.

2:21 Somehow I can picture Adam dumpster diving and acting like Doc Brown from Back to the Future, anything can be made into something else.

1 word: Kydex I dig the aluminum, but it would be my second choice for this type of build.

Nothing better on KZfaq than watching Adam make stuff. I could watch his videos all day. And I do.

15:35 *reference* calipers on the steel work table! clipboard warriors everywhere are salivating! the clipboard aluminum as sheet stock is brilliant! This reminds me of Adam's favourite slogan: "too small to keep, too useful to throw away" :)

I loved this episode! MOAR!

Adam i cant imagine my life without watching you make things

As a Car stereo installer for 33 years I find myself making things alot. I make holders like this for holding testers etc... to my tool box. Thanks Adam I always learn something new watching you.

I came for the tool belt was amazed and the bonus a tiny saw that cuts a 2x4 in 21 seconds What!!!! Awesome.

Adam is a great builder!!

this was awesome to watch! Please make more One Day Builds videos!

Hey, so grateful for you guys! Your content is wonderful. You make the internet better.

great calipers! I've had an 8 inch set for the last 13 yrs as an aerospace machinist. still going strong.

Someone, somewhere may have just went, "HEY! *I* put those metal binders in the garbage!"

17:37 is when Will reads the comments section and realises he is less use than a bench clamp

Pedantic point, work hardening metal makes it stronger but actually decreases the toughness. Strength and toughness are two different measures. Great video!

I love these videos. I'm BLOWN away how fast that saw cut the 2x4

The other guy is a good 'foil' for Jamie, asking questions so Jamie explains. And he raises good points too

I love watching these one day builds. I always learn something. #metalwork | #aluminum | #aluminium | #adamsavage | #tested | #shop

Hey Adam, I rebuilt your holster with some changes like a Fabric covering and a pouch for the additional screwdriver bits, and I love it. Thank you very much for showing this great concept to me.

I have a Leatherman Surge with extra bits, I used your design to make a holster with space for the extra bits. Thanks for the great idea.

Who else likes watching these one-day builds more than watching Mythbusters?

Yeah... someone really needs to drop this design into CAD and get it mass produced

this was the first tested video i saw and it's still fun to go back and watch from time to time.

This is the exact reason I EDC a Leatherman Juice CS4, and just throw it in my pocket. It's tiny, it's got spring-loaded scissors (most-used tool for me), and I really don't need the extra stuff that the bigger models have. I'm a software developer in Manhattan - I'm seldom building stuff or requiring heavy-duty tools (not to say the Juice isn't high-quality, it is, but it's obviously not going to have the strength of the bigger models). Then again, for someone who uses a multitool regularly throughout their average day, a bigger one that's easily mounted on the belt is a lot nicer than the pouches the larger models come with. Anyway, regardless, looks like a fun project.

It's like watching 2 guys in a class. 1 thinks he knows everything about a problem, and the other one is actually knows everything about the problem and how to solve it.

I want a shop where I can just build stuff with an endless supply of tools :)

I really enjoy seeing which tools Adam Savage loves... a craftsman's favorite tools are so often the most unassuming, like those C-Thru rulers. Out of my many expensive and shiny power tools and my broad collection, my favorites are a modest torpedo level, a cheap spud wrench, and a formlifter bar- they're not the most fun tools I have, but they are the most useful and they come out at some surprising times :)

Watching Adam work just makes me add way to many tools to my wishlist

these should be on netflix damnit!

That 2x4.. My jigsaw doesn't even cut one that fast.

Finally, some one who actually carries a multi tool everywhere like me. I bought my first leather man when I was 10 for about $89 with my own earned money from cutting grass. Now Im 16 and I still have that same multi tool. I bring it everywhere except for school. You never know when you could need it. Oh, and instead of using a belt and pouch, I wear cargo pants. My favorite cargo pants are the True spec 24-7. They come in shorts or pants. Great for concealed cary with a fire arm or multi tool.

Watching this reminds me of middle school tech shop. I miss working with metal, it was pretty fun.

For some reason I expected Adam to measure in metric, I was surprised to see inches on the callipers.

So, funny story. I bought a Leatherman Skeletool for a friend-of-a-friend who had his knife stolen. On my way home, while waiting to get some lunch at Schlotzkey's, I was looking at the tool. I saw that it had a nice belt clip built into the tool and immediately decided it was a me-gift. Sorry, Joe. You don't know this, but you lost out on a Leatherman.

I absolutely love your videos Adam. I hope to one day be as talented in as many things as you are.

I have had my Leatherman Wave for years now... never lets me down!

The first model , yes it is big ... but if u just stick magnet inside that will hold the tool from falling , i think it will be smoother to be pulled out and stocked in

Someone tell adam about Kydex.

perfection is beautiful, but honesty is precious! I feel redeemed.... LOL! love it!

Have had a leatherman wave since I was a young kid. Was my first real knife my dad got me. I remember looking at it as a kid and it's just mesmerizing to me haha

Adam's shop just throws me into a rage of jealousy 😣

I cant even cut a 2x4 in 20sec with a saw-saw o.O

Adam is such a badass. A true professional craftsman.

I moved into my first house earlier this year, and have been thinking about getting a Leatherman to work on some simple stuff around the house that could keep me from breaking out the full tool box. I felt like watching Adam make one of his classic Leatherman sheaths tonight, because watching Adam make things just makes me happy. I got to the bit where he was explaining the shear, break and roll, and thought it was so cool that he bought it from a group that bought it from ILM... but then got a little sad at the "... that bought it when ILM closed down their model shop."

1:27, firefly poster on the door.

Kant Twists are INCREDIBLY useful.

VERY FUN video to watch. Thanks.

For those of you considering doing this, when bending sheet metal at 90degree angles you can work out exactly how much the metal will stretch as long as you know the radius you're using and the gauge material. (0.4292 X Bend Radius) + (1.37618 X Guage) = Bend Allowance This can then be subtracted from your blank so you dont end up with tool holders which are too big ;) There is another equation for working out other angled bends but its much longer and I dont have that one memorised. Also in my opinion box and pan benders are garbage for this sort of work (my opinion) I much prefer the accuracy and adaptability of a fly press (i believe theyre called something different over seas) so if you have access to one then try that out instead :)

i think it would be a lot better to make this out of kydex, youd have more room for customizing a belt clip, its lighter and you can easily make one

I always love that childlike enthusiasum adam has its so inspiring

i love your crafting. it brings out the crafting in myself
