Don't know if you will see this but i'm a big fan on the overhead gantry rail system used in batman vs superman batcave, there are pictures from the ceiling behind the scenes i did a ton of research on that beauty. And for an aging workshop trash panda like me it looks like a great solution for a shop to move stuff around (they dealt with "fake loads" but if built with the actual metal and proper engineering would work), also see meat handling rail systems. I was obsessed with that oh so clever batcave and got all screenshots i could from the virtual tour from google, for inspiration for when i get around to building a new shop i'll have some rails put in. May be an interesting solution for you if and when you move and it takes the weight from the floor to a suspended system, also those industrial racks with hanging bookshelf units that save space, are also great for consolidation but still having easy access (levrack -sp.- is one of them, there are archive library types for medical and archive/office). Let me know if you want some photos, i got a myriad. Cheers. Feel free to come up with a savage solution we can all build along, it would be a 365day build give or take, and i'd be watching every single one. PS: In a way TESTED is a sort of WILL/Legacy to your lifes work, maybe you can make 20s-60ec vids about the most important pieces and archive somewhere for easy reference (or an open catalog, the virtual savage workshop or something), just pictures and description +voiceover with history of the piece, the future museum holo-Adam could then use it to teach the martians taking savage archeology course. Its something that has been in my mind too as someone who got a legacy without the manual 20yrs ago. The world grows smaller the memory longer.

What I wouldn't do for just a piece of Adam's collection, this man was one of the most influential people of my childhood and continues to teach me very important life lessons. I hope it all goes to a great place where it will be appreciated someday. :)

For real, a workshop like that in a town like that... Do not even consider letting that just go away and become a dead storage or something like that. Make sure it goes on being used! A workshop must live on. The machines do not belong to us, they belong to the shop.

Could you leave the shop as it is or have it moved into a larger building and made into a business/museum to be used by other makers. Have everything be used to teach others how to do what you’ve done over the course of your life.

I would drive 300 miles any minute if I could work with you in that shop.

You notice they are not "in here".

Dude you nailed the moto. Thanks for the laugh and the smile

When does the crowdfund start? :)

@@madbeef. nah the motto is definitely “i reject your reality and substitute my own”

Exactly what I'm thinking

@@Blood-PawWerewolf I reject your reality and create my own.

It would definitely be an auction, not a garage sale

@@chetchelios7614 his glasses would be the highest priced item.

@@chetchelios7614 i am getting your point, but i am somewhat confident that adam would make it a huge garage sale, simply cuz it fits him

@@MatureFister his work shop is amazing. I would love to have it

I would definitely travel cross country for that.

The shop itself is no good for that. I mean yeah there's stuff all over the walls, but still 90% of things are stored away and not directly visible or accessible. Doing a proper display to do all the things justice would require way more space than that little shopfloor.

Monies?

Donate the tools to local HS or college theatre/stem departments. The costumes and props can be auctioned/given off to charities and museums. Museums need a budget, revolving staff, curators, location, long term maintenance, storage, bureaucracy etc etc. Display? Maybe.

@@JohnnyQPublic yeah. Your right..

@@dcan911 The plural of money? lol

Same here! I prefer to wrap my razor blades in a bunch of duck tape and toss them in the trash instead of building up a collection though.

It may sound corny, but it is wonderful to see Adam's nice guy TV image matching what he's really like.

@@freddy5016 I do the same thing

I never considered this, but will now. One step further though, these blades are recyclable and shouldn’t just go into the regular trash. Same precaution, different bin.

I do the same thing w/ duct tape on my old blades.... Glad some people think before tossing a blade. 😁

Had an uncle come halfway across Canada to rifle through my dad’s tools and stuff before any of us got there. I was so pissed when I got there and saw what he had taken. You are dealing with loss and someone is pilfering stuff out the back door. Karma took that SOB’s life not long after that but dad’s stuff was long gone.

@@2kidsnosleep same. My grandpa on my dad's side passed away in like 2002. When we were deciding who gets what (I was supposed to get his 87 diesel ram charger) my druggie uncle loaded up everything into the ram charger in the middle of the night and we never saw him again. 6 months later he went into a drug overdose coma and never woke up. Karma indeed.

But if he has to go, what a way to go! Buried in what he loves. It would solve the shop disposal problem too. I’m saying this all tongue in cheek so please don’t blast me.

Best solution is he should move to Australia, plenty of space and practically no earthquakes. And I’d be one step closer to inheriting that maker space..... 😜

Adam is no machinist. I am not either. But I have worked in a tool and die shop where we had real machinists. So I know what machinists look like. I got an IAM book too. So technically I suppose I was an apprentice machinist?

@@1pcfred good for you! But maybe next time instead of gatekeeping and spreading negativity and selfishness you can simply be happy for Adams progression(:

@@1pcfred depends, because if your "real machinists" were not recognized masters or journeymen, then you were not a formal apprentice. If they were, then you would have been if you had intentions of staying on and progressing to journeyman and eventually master at the time. If you did not one could reasonably argue that you were just a floater there to take up slack

@@schwig44 indeed. I floated into more lucrative employment. Plus I did find the work incredibly boring anyways. Although I did manage to do some of the more challenging jobs in the shop before I'd left. The circumstances of that whole shop were bizarre. It wasn't exactly what I'd call vibrant while I was there. The shop was on the way out. The founder was 84 and his kid was a snake. You know how it goes.

UPS dude must know the filming schedule and found a way to drop into the videos😁

"The Museum of ASS - it's the shit!"

Makes since... he’s worked his ASS off for years!

recycle those sharps, good iron, this is the kind of recycling that makes more sense than any polymer recycling, infinitely recyclable.

Yes!

I had autonomously thought this exact same thing and posted it moments ago as well before seeing yours. It seems perfectly fitting huh. Just like Julia Child’s Kitchen. Everything meticulously tagged, recorded and moved exactly into its same spot and orientation into a replica exhibit into the Smithsonian for all to visit and get inspired.

It’s the makers version of Julia Child! I love that idea!

Yesssss!!

I fully agree with this! and i promise that i will do all i can in my life to collect enough money and build the needed connections to be able to make this happen a long long time from now.

Robin! Consult the Google doc and fetch my bat-beekeeping suit!

He said in another video that he personally purchased all of the safety gear/suits he wore during mythbusters so he could research them himself. Which also means he got to keep them all!

I've got 6 of them in the bus i use as my shed and workshop, it's surprising how much you can get in them!!

Finders keepers

Imagine if this was just common practice though. People would have to get insurance for 'I found a dead body and need to pay for cremation now". People in hospitals drawing short straws when they know someones died in a certain room. Someone has a heart attack on a busy street and everyone books it so they dont have to be the one responsible

@@CoRLex-jh5vx lol

Ahh, the ron swanson will.

My great aunt died and left a big box full of photos that her immediate family didn't even want to look through. I took them to a family reunion and everyone looked through and remembered old stories, and took home any they wanted. It was the best thing that could happen to old photos

My crazy uncle burned all the family photos that he couldn't identify the people in. I can almost understand, though I'm a hoarder of sorts and keep everything that is unique like a photo, but when you think about it a person's life and their photos mean the most to them. When they are gone, the photos are just relics with no meaning. I have my mom's vacation photos and I often don't know the places or the dates or the other people in them. Even when she was alive, she didn't recall every photo anyway. It's fine to let stuff go. The whole world will be gone someday...everything. Its the way the universe works. Enjoy your own time.

Yep. Have helped people, end of life. It gets shit-canned. Even if it has dates and names on the back? Nobody cares. Life is wonderful! But only your life, right?

“The Savage Institute for Makers” sounds good too!

"Savage institute of Making"

And I'm only 15!

I have one foot in the grave and one foot on a rollerskate. All I want is for my kid to get my laptop. if he goes through my files and my pictures, he will know how I am.

I’ve got a few years left in me, I volunteer as tribute.

Oh I had an even crazier idea. Give it to the makers of the world. Open a kickstarter and people can sign up to which ever tier and they will be sent something in that category when the time comes. Obviously not everything, some of it is personal. What a legacy!... And a real privilege for many younger makers.

I second that offer. I'll probably outlive you both :)

I always presume that the real reason he building a ironman costume replica.

Isn't the point of meditation to focus on nothing? To clear your mind of things.

@@Khazandar No. Or, it can be, but the idea that that's the most important (much less first) goal has ruined meditation for far too many people. Particularly acheivement-oriented people in the "West". People with ADHD like me who think that sounds impossible! Notice what is, accept it, release it, repeat. The breath is a useful touchstone to return to, but it needn't be slavishly obsessed over. Attachment to the pursuit of some idealized state is just more attachment, and attachment is the root cause of dissatisfaction. And of course there's totally different practices of all sorts that fall under the broad umbrella of meditation.

Well...yes and no. The point of meditation is to experience nothing, while focusing on...well whatever you’re focusing on. If you focus on nothing, you understand nothing, but if you experience nothing while focusing on something, you can find yourself developing an understanding. Don’t get me wrong, I firmly believe that nothing makes sense, and I set 20 minutes every few hours aside for “20 minutes of nothing” because I’m looking to make sense from the things that have my focus. It’s all a lot less complicated to explain in person than in text, but hey: you do you.

He REALLY loves the Q&A.

I was always told to fold a piece of cardboard over it, then tape the edges. I also do something similar when I have to throw away pins or sewing needles, embedding the points in cardboard so it can't poke anyone.

I have a bucket in my workshop and anything metal, or old stuff that is broken and disassembled is separated and metal is put into the bucket. About once every month or two I take it to the Household Recycling Depot and dump it in the scrap metal bin. I am hopeful that it will become new metal products, rather than languishing in a landfill somewhere.....

@@JETWTF maybe, but probably it will stay unused till someone in the next generation discovers it and realizes it’s the most amazing device ever created. Those small Bridgeports die from being worn out, it could reasonably be expected to last another 100 years easy.

@@shanek6582 there's a reason mills are not wanted anymore. The reason is called a machining center. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pd6oqc-plqyzkoU.html

@@1pcfred you have to pop a keyway in a shaft really quick, you gonna spend an hour setting up the machining center when you can pop it in the vice on the mill, center up, and cut in less than time than it would take to get the machining center programmed? Manual machining has its uses still

@@1pcfred idk where you’re from but at least on the east coast, those smaller Bridgeport’s are still highly sought after and fairly expensive.

@@shanek6582 manual mills are great for hobbyists. There's not much use for them today in modern manufacturing though. Anyone still using one is decades behind the times. BTW what makes Adam's Bridgeport "smaller"? It is certainly smaller than a K&T but as far as Bridgeports go it is regular sized. I've moved them about the size Adam has. It isn't something you want to bring down the basement stairs.

It is best to sharpen blades. I've been using the same X-Acto blades for decades. They last for quite a long time.

Love this idea!
