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.

He had tons of tools at his job where he was chief of maintenance for a bunch of CNC machines. 2 years after his death, his coworker calls me and says "shop is closing, come get your dads tool box" he was a very honorable Vietnamese fellow who kept my dads big red roll top as a shrine. He did the right thing and gave it to me. I use the tools and various kibble... whats the star wars word for bits... Anyway every time I use something from the box I say "thanks pop".

Then, 20 years ago (I was 38) I had a massive stroke that left me completely paralyzed and mute. My wife had the massive job of sorting and selling my stuff.....and the task was extremely difficult,.

Adam, I'm fairly heavily involved in a local makerspace here, and we had a member who had a workshop that would rival your own. A few years ago said member found out he had a heart condition that meant he was going to pass away within 12 months or so. When he did he rewrote his will in such a way, that all the things he wanted to direct to certain people, were given to those people, and other people could have free reign to take what they wanted/needed from his workshop and house. When all of that was said and done, he gave the makerspace free reign to take what they wanted from what was left over. We cleaned out his house and workshops over the course of about 3 days and his family were incredibly grateful as it meant they didn't have to deal with all the extra stuff that they didn't know what to do with. I know Noisebridge are nearby to you, I'm sure they would appreciate a similar arrangement? Or perhaps there's another similar space nearby who would appreciate it. R.I.P. Ross.

Advice for setting up a work space, decrees the amount of steps you have to take in order to obtain and use the tool you need to get the job done. Don’t focus so much on layout, try to setting up practical areas in the space to work, your biggest enemy is storage, and key to avoiding a mess is practicality. The most important tools are your hands, and your materials, if you create a space were you can fix anything, then you’ve made a space were you can make anything.

My father is a man who has never thrown out a thing in his life. He's been saving, sorting, and storing pieces parts to more things than I can count for as long as I can remember. To be clear its not hoarding situation by any means. Everything he has saved is something that is somehow useful. Seriously discerning that its his superpower. Case and point. When I was in undergrad 20+ years ago I lived in my fraternity house. It was a big 3 story Edwardian mansion just off campus and has many original features. When I was a senior we had a brass plumbing fitting on an antique fixture that was original to the house rot away. We were faced with the choice of tracking down a replacement fitting or tearing out an entire antique claw footed tub with faucets, and tile that were original to the house. We searched everywhere, hardware stores, antique stores, industrial hardware stores, an old Amish hardware store in the country, eBay, architectural salvage companies. No one had this part. We finally found one in my father's collection of meticulously sorted and maintained brass plumbing parts box. That is what he considers his legacy to me and my siblings. Not only the knowledge and the tools but the parts to fix or create anything we put our minds to. Adam when the day comes I hope that you have found someone or some group who can see that and will welcome your shop as a truly amazing legacy with open arms.

As to the new shop question, four things. First, you can not have too many power outlets or too robust of an electrical system. Think of how many outlets you need, standard and higher voltage, then at lease double that or more. Next, a heavy duty air compressor, piped to all areas of your shop, and then add the air powered tools as you need them. Then a good central vacuum system to make clean up easier. One that can handle spot cleaning and fixed to your saws and lathes. You can set up different collectors for wood, metal, plastic, and general trash in your system. Lastly a spot for your personal needs. That way an over filled bladder does not need a half hour trip out and when thirsty, you are only a few steps away to take a break.

Katie (I hope I spelt that right).. As a fellow maker I think something that Adam was alluding to, whether intentionally or not, is that when it comes to tools in your shop there are certain staples for sure, but more often you will find that you don't know what tool you will need until you need it. So buying more obscure/specialized tools in advance is hard to do. My best suggestion is to look at what you plan to do most often and then take a look at what tools others use to do the same work. There are tons of other channels out there and they all use various different tools to accomplish the same end. Hope that helps you some, good luck!

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.

Isn't the point of meditation to focus on nothing? To clear your mind of things.
@csn5833 жыл бұрын
@@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.
@chadwcmichael3 жыл бұрын
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.

Just the other night, my son and grandson argued over who was getting my tools when I tip over some day. So now I have to figure out how to allocate all this stuff before the big tip. When it comes to tools, everyone wants the stuff you used with your hands. It's more personal to them and allows them to feel close to you.

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.....

This is something I ask myself all the time. The more stuff I bring into my house and my life, the more I'll have to care for, the more I'll have to get rid of some day. It's a daily battle between my hobbies and my will to be free of material things.
@ncc74656m3 жыл бұрын
As you so often refer to yourself as the caretaker or custodian of these items, it's so important that you've given consideration to that topic. Even I in my mid 30s started considering, if only loosely where a few of the objects I have should go. As such, I've made sure at least one person, my cousin, knows what to look for and grab to care for or pass on, or even sell. If it ever comes time where I'll get to a point I can truly think of that stuff though, I'll likely begin slowly passing things on or selling them off. Hopefully by then I'll have an even bigger collection though!

A very taboo topic but I have a suggestion. Sell all your hand tools for $10 each. You go to a website, spend $10, and a random tool is sent from your shop. All the proceeds could go to a charity of some nature. The point being is that your work has meant a lot to so many of us and “Adam Savage’s staple puller” or whatever you get would be a treasured component of anyone’s shop.

Tip for a sharps container, next time you go to the grocery store, buy your self a can of tomato soup (metal can). Do not open it like normal, instead, only open a small part of the top, preferably the center, with a slit just large enough to slide the blades through. (Of course, drain the soup, eat it if you want, and wash out the can.) Take off the wrapper and clearly label it as "Sharps". When the can is full you can then add the can to your scrap metal to be sold, or toss it in the trash/recycling.

What to include? Include a board with all of the fixings you've used that other people might not even have discovered. Leave space for other makers to add things they've discovered that you've never seen. You may think it boring, but think of what you know now compared to what you were like fiver years ago. Likewise, have boards for electronics / ropes / hinges and just decorate the place with the things that are the bones of what you do.

My grandfather was a diesel mechanic and knife forger. Also a general all around handyman. His health declined over the last decade and this year we had to help him downsize and auction out the tools from his shop. Due to health issues he could not help much telling us what and where things were and at the end of his time going out to the shop he became very disorganized. Organization and a list of what things are and or some contacts who could help identify/offload obscure items would have made the whole process easy by comparison.
