45:46 high speed nose blowing with the best sound I've heard so far this year.

I'm loving the side effect of this shelter in place order of getting these daily and more personal home movie feeling videos with Adam definitely gives something to look forward to everyday

Love how you're uploading so much during these times. Please dont stop lol

“I want this to be surpassingly exact.” Right after eyeballing the holes location. Gotta love Adam!

Adam, I think a belt guard would be good on this, that way little bits of metal don't end up getting sprinkled on the belt and shortening its lifespan

6:20 was so satisfying to watch

Me: What kinda hammer is that? Adam: A thwacky thwacker

Adam: I've learned not to stick my fingers near moving belts on machinery. Also Adam: 51:42

April 25th, 2020 is the day we finally learned the limit to the tools that Adam Savage has on hand. That limit is *_super specialized clockwork making tools_* ...

I love the long format! It feels like I'm hanging with my favourite uncle in the shop!

You’ll notice that in these odd times the celebrities with true merit and a genuine and organic fan base survive. And I’m Adams case, thrive. Easily one of my favorite content makers to date.

As someone who designs PCBs for a hobby, "am I building this back-to-front?" is a question I continually ask myself, even after the designs have been sent for fabrication!

I appreciate you shouting out Matthias Wandel, he has a great KZfaq channel that doesn't get enough traffic.

"I'm going to keep it running while I put this in", he says with a broken finger

Clickspring is such an unassuming but brilliant channel and it still amazes me just how many people here on KZfaq apply things they've learned on that channel. Imho, it's one of the most underrated channels on KZfaq within the makers sphere. Really, give it a go, you won't reget it!

A co-worker of mine seems to be of the belief that cross-threading is stronger than a thread locker.He has been seen using an impact to install bolts without first starting the bolt by hand. Just throws it in his socket on his impact and goes to town with it. Eventually one (or more) of the bolts cross threads and he doesn't let up. Such a joy to work with a person like that (not really).

6:20 not going to lie that was smooth

Take a good long look people: The video is entirely in focus. A new day for tested videos!

It's so reassuring to see someone I look up to screw up once in awhile. It's one thing to have them say it's okay to screw up once in awhile, it's something else entirely to witness it. Thanks for keeping it in! Although I will try to keep the advice in mind lol

I really enjoy these styles of videos where you can see that Adam is filming everything by himself. It's more raw and less refined and I think that's a great thing for these types of videos.

"Am I doing this wrong?" I've never identified with something shop related so much in my life.

Adam: "I made every part of it myself!" Kit Maker: "Am I a joke to you?"

I ordered the kit from Andy a few weeks ago, he was very helpful and a knowledgeable gentleman to talk to. He had mentioned your video has drummed up quite a bit of business for the filing machine kits and seemed to be happy that there’s quite a bit of interest in the filing machine kits

I am liking that you are showing us all your failures and mistakes. That brings your work a wonderful naturality. I love this chanel. Huge admiration💪

That clickspring youtube channel is an amazing eye opener for high precision metal work.

Adam! What the friggin hell, my dude!?!? You just did it *AGAIN!* You just wiped down a running machine with literally the same rag that almost took your digit! C'mon man! lol Haha like Papa Roach said... "The scars remind us that the past is real!" Lmfao He also said some other nonsense... but please! You're literally still wearing the bandage and feeling the pain from the last time you did that. I love ya Adam. Stay safe! You're role model and example to millions, be the safe for yourself!

Great job Adam and surprisingly quiet. "To error, is human" that is why they put erasers on the end of pencils! The speeded up Donald duck sneeze at 45mins, just lightened up my lockdown day. Thank you. From England

Adam talking over the table saw is like listening to a very small Jabba. No one knows what he's saying, but he sounds very pleased with himself.

Not sure I've ever heard Adam say "I don't have such a tool".

Adam Savaged (adj) - upside down and backwards, see also “eyeballing, guesstimating” “I’ve just Adam Savaged my project”

You know, since this whole thing started and you've switched to doing your videos solo there's been something about your videos that I could not put my finger on. And I finally figured out it's a comfortable familiarity with most all shop videos I watch. That self shot, guy in his element kind of video. Adam, I appreciate ya man. You're such a great human.

Love that you gave a shout out to Matthias Wendel. He is my favorite carpenter to watch on the tube

45:47 best sound ever

"this is gonna make machinists angry" and im over here chucking endmills in my drill press shrug

I don't feel as bad when I see someone as skilled as you make something backwards. I often find myself having to reverse my thinking in the middle of my project. Thank you for making yourself more human

I have been wanting to build one of those for my shop for years. I might just do it now. Great job

I hope clickspring releases a full length video again soon 😭

_This Old Tony has entered the chat_

@38:32 My favorite moment of all KZfaq of all time. I love that you talk yourself through everything (I do the same). You plan thoroughly and ask for help from people who may know more. You makes mistakes but are also quick to solve them or turn them into the best part of a project. I find comfort in watching pieces that were living on a shelf turn into something that requires a special Savage box. In my family my great grandmother would put a rubber band around a special gift in our Christmas stocking. When I hear you are making a box I get just as excited to know what you deem worthy to put inside. Thank you for all these years of tested getting me through this time of quarantine and seclusion.

I love how someone as experienced as yourself still makes mistakes but you own it. No editing room cuts to hide it. Every day is a school day. We all learn from our mistakes. Inspiring.

Thank you for filming while you do random stuff around the Cave, Adam.. :-)

I would love to hear Jamie's speech on washers. I mean, they serve a specific purpose, I..e. to spread out force and increase friction, so it would be interesting to hear why he thinks they're a bad idea.

The best advice time has taught is that mistakes are possibilities to learn. People can say this and that to avoid mistakes, but the truth is that mistakes happen. It's up to you to decide whether or not to learn from those. What works for me is to plan well, and I do mean well. I rather spend one or two mins to plan than do it all over again. So for me, it's more about either drawing it on paper or going through it in my head a few times, depending on what I'm doing. As for my former carpentry life, it was mostly drawing it on paper, wood, whatever I had in my hands, but recently, after switching to software engineering, I cannot stress it enough to plan first, document next, check your plans and documentation...It's way easier to correct your mistakes in carpentry where you have the laws and regulations to follow, but with software engineering, there's only the guidelines of your company and the lines you have accustomed to work with. So, having a good plan and thinking it over is a way to reduce the mistakes you make, but you will still make some, so learn from those to improve yourself. For Adam's mistake cut in this video, a simple cut plan would have been enough...Maybe the 20 mins of remaking the pieces reminded him from what he cherished few videos ago...Remember, follow your own flow and don't skip the boring things...And when you do make a mistake, go back to it and ask yourself: "Why did I do this?" - You'll learn from it. - And remember not to blame people for their mistakes, but encourage them to learn from them. Positive and constructive feedback is what makes us grow and learn as individuals as well as as people.

I drool every time I see someone build or use one of these. Really nice job yours is one of my favorite. Thanks for sharing the end of the journey of this machine. Or should I say the beginning of its journey.

15:24 I can hear his poor calipers screaming for mercy!

Next up "How i almost lost my finger in a table saw accident"

i love to see adam showing us new tools and things i havent seen before but for some reason i would love to see him use some really basic stuff like doing a series on setting up a workshop durein an end of the world situation where you would need to make a wind/solar etc generator to power anything and make the bare necesities from scrap and hand tools, dunno why i just love to see adam solve problems

Really wish there were more builds of cool props like there were in the early days. Building tools and organization racks doesn't have the same wow factor.

Could have put a straight edge across the face of the two pulleys, instead of eyeballing it.

When You Do Things Right, People Won’t Be Sure You’ve Done Anything at All. 42:42 Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively. 50:25

"1 day Build", but it took him a year and a half. Just goes to show that the adage "Rome wasn't built in a day" is so very true. This is an excellent piece of machine! Hearing it go practically silent when re-tightening the plate at the end was really satisfying.

Adam has the BEST CHANNEL on KZfaq for Guys!!!! Oh how I wish I had HIS shop!

38:27 I know that look...

50:32 Now I want to hear Jamie's washer speech.

I love the fact that you leave your mistakes in the videos. Everyone screws up. You’re showing how to get past it. Very important

I may never build a die filer, but I enjoyed this video because it reveals how your problem-solving brain works. That's learning that can be generalized by me. Thanks!

31:36, OK... watching Adam lurch his hand back here terrified me before I realized the video speed up was just unfortunately timed.

The order you are posting these videos makes it really confusing to understand if your finger gets better or worse :))

I really wish I could smell what your shop smells like. The smell of tools, oils, wood, metals and all the other things. That place is a wonderland of amazement I imagine.

These solo videos are kind of a shift in material and tone, and I'm really enjoying them. My perception is that we're getting to see Adam largely unedited (and that might be a false impression on my part). Editors are oft-unsung heros in just about every aspect of art creation you could think to look for them, but this here, these videos, they're wonderful and intimate and just fantastically charming, precisely because the editing is minimal. I'm entirely hooked. Please keep making these; they're great.

Damn even adam watches some of Matthias stuff

Her Adam, ever watched thisoldtony? he thought me alot,even though i am a experienced machinist... (just saying) love your work though

Oh Man. Being a wood worker and seeing all those pieces and off cuts of materials you have when you went to the table saw made me so envious. It's definitely how I would like my shop to look one day.

I reckon I gasp in amazement an average of about 8 times watching a one day build. the number of tools and techniques Adam uses that I never even knew existed is insane.

When did oink become the sound of a correctly torqued fastener. The correct sound when tightening fasteners is click. Ask AvE.

When you tap, you should always turn the tap about 2 turns, then reverse half a turn to break the chip 👍

As an aspiring maker watching you is the most important thing I can do because I am learning so much, thank you and don’t stop uploading during these tough times.Also love the long videos

I love Adam, he has inspired me on endless occasions over many years. And keep this in mind that it is MY issue! He needs a bigger shop. The end. I also would wish a warehouse/museum upon him. I am certain he has a cleaning crew, because otherwise every bit of unused stuff would be dusty. I know this from my own shop! He is in his 50's now and perhaps it is time to contemplate what happens next... His legacy should not be a huge auction or worse, a huge rolloff dumpster... We need the Museum of Adam! . Picture it.. a room of space suits, a feeding station for Hymeman's spare mustaches.. A dunk tank for Will or Thom Sachs!

My takaway from this video: Adam watches the same youtube channels I do.

Oh yeah, if self isolation means almost ODB every other day I'm for more 👌

Clickspring is easily my favourite channel (no offence of course), he makes such incredible videos

Oh my dear, what fun! At 12:12 ish I love your words for what my grandmother called her precise transfer plickies, to be used with the plicky mallet! Hers of course were tiny, with which she punched precise patterns in tin. Thank you for such wonderful memories.

Everyone who reads this you shall be granted with good luck.

@AdamSavage - I'm not sure if you read these comments but I want to thank you for making these lock down / stay at home times so much more bearable. I've been a fan for years but your recent videos are making life a lot easier for me (and I'm sure many others on here). Thanks again!! Tim

Hey Adam, my band saw are the stock 1/2 hp motor. A friend suggested putting a DC motor in it out of a treadmill, because you can't hardly give those things away. Another friend happened to have one, on the condition that I take the whole thing, no parting it in his garage. So I got it home and took it apart. 2 1/2 hp variable speed. There are little motor controllers available, but I just mounted all the electrics from the treadmill in a box that I screwed to the base of the saw (a 14 inch Frejoth, which is pretty much like a Jet or some cheesy saw), it looks a little "quick and dirty" and it beeps and lights up when you push the buttons, but with the motor being 2 1/1 hp and 0-6700 rpm, it will make the blade sing, or go slow enough to cut stainless. I still need to mount the sensor that maintains a constant speed (hall effects maybe?), at very low rpms, it wanders up and down a bit, but I'm into it a total of $8 for the v-belt pulley on the motor. I'm sure the same motors would fit on the die filer and any number of other projects. A whole lot of treadmills out there too. Love your show by the way.

57:44 "Every tools a hammer"

What happened to the lamp he was going to put on it

That shop always looks like organised chaos, but I've lost count of the number of times Adam says "Oh I need a ..." and goes off camera for 5 seconds and returns with it. The benefits of knowing where everything is, even if doesn't look that way to the outsider.

38:28 Is the greatest moment I have ever seen. I needed it so much in my life. Bob Ross' "Happy Accidents" can only take you so far. In fabricating/building/crafting sometimes there are just flat out mistakes. Knowing that everyone makes mistakes, even amazing builders like Adam, will make the next one a little bit easier to accept.

Just a suggestion but, if you are tapping holes after using a mill, you can keep the x-y position of the hole and chuck in a spring center that aligns the tap and t-handle with the z axis of the spindle. As long as you are in tram, that is an easy way to ensure the tap is straight. Love the videos and just wanted to explain what we do in our shop. Have a good one, Garrett

I'm super glad you're uploading frequently. I had fun for the first 2 weeks of quarantine but now I'm getting restless.

Thank you so much for sharing your failures, and your process of recovering. The best maker videos I've watched don't hide their screw-ups.

Its a pleasure watching a guy that is multi talented and humble. Your appreciation for all things mechanical is intoxicating. These videos are wonderful

Wow! Building a tool by yourself would seem to be something quite special. Thank you for sharing your process with us Adam!

So great that Adam recognizes that for some occasional use tools, the Horror Fright is good enough.

38:40 - That moment we all felt at one with Adam. That moment we were again assured, he is human. Much love and respect. Thanks for keeping us sane right now Adam!

I haven't watched this one yet I just wanted to say I specifically checked KZfaq to see if there was a new video and to my luck there is! I'm in an essential job (wireless sales) but it's been very slow. This channel is the only thing keeping me sane! Just wanted to say thanks Adam you are the best!

Thank you for those little hints and advises here and there in the video. And also for the honesty with which you showed the wrong side cut on the base. We all are not error-free and error/failure is greatest teacher, as you will remember your own failure lessons the most.

Adam you are awesome man! Haha! We spend so much energy trying to be perfect in our work that we end up making mistakes that are so silly its utterly maddening! Mistakes are what make us perfect in our imperfectious selves!

I just love watching the thinking in action! So much of the process is about working it out in your own head as you go. Anyone who believes that working in a shop is an exact science has never had to solve problems on the fly. It's just a case of going from A to B to C then back to B and onto D before checking A is still right. Slowly slowly you build up the picture of what you need to do. And even if sometimes it's wrong, it's still poetry in motion to see!

Gotta love Adam for the small gestures to us. "I'll put a mark on it" Thank you ♥

While I was an apprentice one of my first Lathe projects was making a set of tap guides! We made them all separately and they are kinda complicated beautiful little tap guides. But they accomplish the same thing!

We have all been there Adam 😂 back in my GCSE product design course I used to spend at least 15 minutes staring at my work to make sure I didn't mess up, and would then continue to mess up

I love it when Adam actually makes something which uses machining, and gears, and springs and all.

This made me think of my mom, who was a carpenter but got into locksmithing. She had a key cutting machine that she mounted to a piece of plywood and cut a handle into the wood so she could easily move the machine from job to job.

i got to work with adam at a charity benefit today (over zoom of course). He was awesome, super nice. love tested.

Really love that this channel is turning into This Old Adam

57:00 That tiny square is adorable.. I want one.

I love watching Clickspring too. Guy is an absolute genius.
