Adam Savage's One Day Builds: EPIC Spacesuit! (Part 1)

For the first time, we document the build of Adam's spacesuits in its entirety! Inspired by a next-generation xEMU design, Adam and his collaborators spent months building two spacesuit costumes worn in our short film "The Beacon"--celebrating the relaunch of the gaming network G4. To kick off this multi-part series, we jump back to the beginning of the summer as Adam begins the project in earnest, starting with the literal hard parts of the suit's frame and inner shell.
Learn more about G4's relaunch here: g4tv.com/blog/...

Adam I worked on the design for the upper torso of the Z2 suit. Some of the reference pictures you showed are a 3D print I had made during my time at ILC. Glad to see them show up in your vid! I’m working on the xEMU suit now.

30:45 seeing adam woth a bloodied knuckle makes me realize that it is basically all part of the process of making something by hand. Working with your own hands means you will undoubtedly have the marks to show for it. It was the same for me working as a carpenter for 10+ years with my father, you manage to scratch, hit or cut yourself on anything and everything, but no matter how many times it happened, every knick and dent was a memory and a proof that you had done something by yourself and that every mark is something to be proud of, no matter the circumstances around the "accident". I love working with my hands, and seeing adam doing this build makes me wanna do a similar build just because I can 😅

@Ellington_Industrial_Arts Жыл бұрын

Adam, suggestion when you're doing fiberglass work. instead of trying to brush on the resin, before it kicks... just dunk the entire piece of cloth, in the resin, before you lay it up. Then you're just using the brush to smooth it out. It goes a LOT quicker that way, and you don't have to worry about dry patches. Just, wear gloves! ...since you're handling saturated cloth. Hopefully this helps with your next fiberglass project. Keep up the great content, I always look forward to your next project!

@Ivanovitch2885 2 жыл бұрын

The fun thing about fiberglass resin and spandex is that you can make such complex shapes that you would swear you vacuuformed something. Once you get the shape you want, just slap some glass on top with more resin and you now have a structural form. It's a favorite in the custom sound system community as well as custom car panels.

@Bakamoichigei 2 жыл бұрын

Stretching the spandex over the plywood form, stiffening it with epoxy, and then laying up some fiberglass on it is such a brilliant construction method. If I hadn't seen this video, I would be at a loss as to how to accomplish a shape like that with a reasonable degree of labor! Freakin' brilliant, Adam! 🤩

Funny thing was that as I was watching, I kept flashing back to 1958 and me at age 12 devouring Heinlein’s “Have Spacesuit, Will Travel.” Before getting to the UFOs and aliens, the first quarter of the book covers all of the challenges of building/refurbishing what Adam calls an anthropomorphic spaceship. Deja Vu!
