Adam talks about Clickspring's channel a LOT. Here it is, if you don't already subscribe: kzfaq.info/love/worsKCR-Sx6R6-BnIjS2MA

Beautiful work mate :)

I showed this to my dad (born 1950) who was a professional leatherworker born into the trade because of his father, and he was flabbergasted by this contraption. His words were, and I quote: "Son, I wish I had a pony like this, would have made a lot so much easier" ..so there you have it Mr. Savage.. a compliment from the past to this futuristic build.. Chapeau!

34:52 when i realised that you measured something with your tattoo my jaw hit the floor I realy enjoy watching your videos :)

Okay. That moment at 12:00 was so fucking unexpected. My favorite moment of 2020. Thank you so much.

ROTFLMAO! That Salsa Dance at the end. 🤣 Adam's antics are a never ending source of joy & entertainment during this lockdown. 😆🤣

I love hearing other KZfaq makers hold Clickspring in such high regard

Adam, When can we expect a line of * belt sander noises * merch?

It's good to see click spring getting the recognition he deserves. He is so amazing that it got to the point where I think of him every time I see brass. Also Chris. If you are reading this. We miss you buddy. Wishing you all the best.

14:55 I love how Adam's quarantine look is slowly looking drifting towards Hayao Miyazaki

This show really helps with the boredom of quarantine

I love the subtitles when we cant see what he is doing *Belt sander noises* but I'm very disappointed that his coughing wasn't subtitled as *Adam Savage noises*

I love the Clickspring channel. My favorite part about his channel is his Antikathra mechanism machine videos. I love the fact that he is showing us how it was possible that man was able to do precision (even by today's standards) machining over 1000 years ago. His videos are amazing. Its like uncovering some ancient skill that was lost in time. He is extremely talented.

Are we collectively ignoring what the flame thrower looks like (39:51)? I'm fine with that , just wanted to double check.

This is the type of content I've wanted from Adam for years! No fancy camera shots and we don't have to put up with the camera focusing on a item close up when we want to see Adams reaction or vice versa.

How can one not be insanely jealous of that workshop. How incredibly blessed you are, Adam, to have the ability (and talent and know-how) to build pretty much anything your mind can dream up. Amazing!

*Belt sander noises* Me: Yay noises are back

Adam, I have watched your content for many years, since the premier of Mythbusters, and you have always been an inspiration to me and the way I make things; the way your cough sounds after using your disk sander worries me immensely. Please, for the sake of being able to continue to do the work you love, invest in your personal safety by getting a better dust collection system or a positive pressure open face dust mask like Alec Steele uses or something. People die from dust inhalation related injuries all the time, and I do not want you to be counted among them. I realize many may see it as a tedium to get prepped to grind or sand something, but as a creator with millions of subscribers and hundreds of thousands of views per video, it is irresponsible to use anything less than standard safety equipment while you work, for your sake and the sake of your viewers who may try to imitate you without knowing any better. Anyone who says you should do what you want regardless of how dangerous we know dust is does not care about your safety and will have no right to complain if you develop pneumonia or something awful after breathing in too much dust one day.

It's like we can see the gears spinning in your head as you figure it out. I love watching the creative process. I love seeing how you can visualize the product in your head, spin it around, and see the parts fitting together.

My dad is like that. If he's working on a project, he'll just stop and make some crazy tool from his imagination you've never seen before but now fits the job he's doing to a tee. I could do that with a paper and pen and a week's time to plan, but not on the fly like this. Impressive, I wish I had that talent.

Adam: I can’t draw it but I can make it. Me: you understand me!!

18:25 BREATHING PROTECTION MAN! Every single video 😔

You are just fantastic Adam! Such an inspiring person. It always lights up my day to see you enthusiastically building something, talking about your tools or just in some way doing your thing. You're using all this experience in just winging it and improvising. Building something from scratch. Always only 80% sure of what you're doing but also always finishing or improving what you started. I guess you're one of the very few people of which I can honestly say I look up to. In someway or another I really want to be like you when "all grown up". Having this shop with all these amazing tools I actually (more or less) know how to use. Full of enthusiasm to make, learn, craft, build and optimize. Never let my perfectionism stop me. Actually for once finishing the projects I started and also being happy with what I made. Having this passion. One of my biggest wishes is to meet you in person one day and maybe even having a beer/cup of tea and just talk for hours.. Highly unlikely but not impossible. Maybe one day?

My apron is my favorite tool after my 1/2" chisel and my spoke shave. Even if I never really needed it, just wearing one in the shop makes you feel so cool

Ahhhh... Nothing like a little Adam Savage ASMR

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes when Adam pulls levers he makes a “errrr” noise? (41:50)

Adam it's so beautiful to me that even while being for so many ppl a kind of granddaddy of makers you so openly value and admire other fellow makers. Its so touching to see somebody at what seems to be the top of his field share credits and compliments to someone else, I wish more ppl would behave like that! Growing up watching mythbusters you've always been a role model for me regarding analytical thinking and testing your theories, but now I can honestly say you are a role model for being a person as well! Please stay safe 😷

Adam Savage you’re an amazing person. You take pride in everything thing you do and you’re so wholesome. I love these videos!

Hey Adam! Lil idea: Walk us through the various racks we see in the background here and there! Secret boxes makes us VERY curious.

*please enable auto-generated captions for your videos* Those of us with accessibility needs would like to watch, too

His genuine enthusiasm for craft and making is inspirational. Can’t wait to get back into a shop once this quarantine is up

I must say I really enjoy those vlog like "one day build" episodes. It feels why more personal and make me enjoy ur enjoyment more

20:19 "look I can't draw it, but i can make it" is my most major difficulty in working with some friends from time to time. all my life. i should really work on my drawing and scetching.

I’ve learnt more from Adam’s videos than I have in my DT lessons 😂

Love your energy and enthusiasm, Adam. You inspire me to have more fun in my shop. Rock on.

Thanks Adam, man I've been watching you since I was about 7 years old on Mythbusters (started one se1), you have played a huge part in my life and om forever grateful. I know this won't be seen but I've never been able to convey this to you I thought why not just tell you here. My quite cheers to you my friend thanks :)

Adam when are you going to customize this apron? Can't wait to see it!

18:15 wear a mask when sanding kids

Great advice on the table saw safety Adam, lost my left pointer doing repetitive cuts just like you highlighted. You did a very good job explaining the dangers of getting into the zone.

I feel so blessed. Your amazing, Growing up and then as a adult seeing your genius brain at work... 👍 Als keep up the good work.

Adam, we love you. Use a DAMN RESPIRATOR!

Adam: dont get too in the zone. Also adam: hammering to the beat of a mariachi toon.

Adam is a mad genius. I have the same itch to make things, wood, leather, metal, jewellery... furniture.. in fact anything.... it's the kind of mind philosophers have: you can't stop poring over same thing in your mind....but then your mind wipes everything off as fresh creative juice start to flow....

Adam is like a human love letter to the world's makers and creative minds. I can't find words to describe how grateful that makes me.

One Day Build ALERT: Click! So inspiring! Probably the best thing about the quarantine :)

Hey adam, have you heard of the KZfaq channel "how to make everything" ? I think you'd love it. He's going through time starting from the Stone age making the tools and things with the technology available at that time

There's something so soothing about watching someone build and make something, the process of the mind of the creative process is wonderfull!

Kudos to editors of this one. I can feel this person had fun and put his soul into it.

It's great but it would work much better on a bench that doesn't wobble

i just want to say that whoever is editing these and adding the subtitles, PLEASE KEEP DOING THAT! I cant stop laughing at them, ESPECIALLY during the LEGO sorting video! That one was gold for me! Keep up the absolutely amazingly fantastic work guys/gals!

I had no idea how your mechanism for adjusting the size was going to work, but when you cut out the handle for fine adjustment, it clicked. Very clever solution, your videos are great!

From pencil and paper to leather wrapped masterpiece in under an hour...thanks again for continuing to share your time with us.

I just made one in April!!

20:23 When you find a circle template for the first time Edit: I thought this was so funny while I watching this

I'm so glad that I called it the 'clickspring clamp' in a previous video. Awesome work as always. Thanks for sharing!

Adam has a shop ghost! 27:38 sure to see that on a top 10... Thank you so much for giving us a window into your shop man. Truly an inspiration and mentor.

Adam, be honest. You built it just because you like how the brass shaving look on leather :P

27:34 Adam has a ghost

Adam- love these segments!! Thanks for posting the entire process failures and all.

awwww - the little salsa music edit over Adam's little dance was JUST PRECIOUS - And then to go back to it later for the saw-filing bit? Genius! Big thumbs up to the editor for that little bit of multi-layered comedy!

27:33 an earthquake.. you can see the lamp and the camera shake a bit..

I have never seen a Stitching Pony Clamp before. Very Cool , Adam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are times on MB that your enthusiasm was more entertaining that the subject matter. I'm glad we've been granted some of that enthusiasm again today :) Great build!

I love when you have a light bulb moment its great to see your excited inspiration going off ! cheers

My favorite KZfaq video is yours I love watching the one day builds so relaxing and inspirational I always look forward to watching your one day builds.👍

I love watching you work things out. It reminds me of the MythBusters' builds. Thank you for sharing this day with us. Great stitching pony!

One of my late grandfathers did automobile upholstery in the early 20th century. He had a full-size Stitching Horse that the user sat on. I don't know what happened t it when he passed away. I wish I had it. It was a wonderful piece of mechanical woodworking, used by leather-workers and upholsterers.

Fantastic stitching pony design. The adjustable clamping force with the stepped cam is brilliant

I have a couple of stitching ponies for my leatherwork, and now I want to make a new one, this is so nice!

I love how Adam is teaching his process and procedure. It's almost as though I'm his apprentice. I only wish I could be. I just know he'd have you actually handle the material after giving you the tutorial.

Loved the added music over the hammering! It made me laugh!

My dad and I really appreciate that you don't have music playing (ASMR-ish?), just the sound of the machines. Also the close ups are top notch. :)

seems very similar to a post vice.. it's a great moment when you discover something like that exists and is exactly what you've needed

I hope Adam lives forever

As a fellow leatherworker, thats some pretty nice work on the stitching pony! I used a small stitching pony early on. I now have 2 stitching horses...

I'm a machinist by trade and I find the table saw as the most terrifying machine tool there is, I'm always glad to see Adam's words of warning about them.

I really love Adam filmed videos I really hope they do more of these after all this mess is over

Adam, you’re a total hero of makers, testers and fabricators, no doubt. I really admire you for your humility in comparing yourself to Chris from Clickspring. He is an Esoteric Master of precision machining and you are right to recognize his excellence. I’ve learned a LOT from you, some of it I’m skilled enough to apply. What Chris has taught me is that I’ll never be a clocksmith.

Adam, excellent video. Love it when a design comes together. Clickspring is great. Thanks and stay safe.

I find myself genuinely excited for Adam when everything comes together.

Of all the One Day Builds I have watched, this looks like a fun project to surprise my dad with. Granted, I do not have much tools to work with but, it looks like I should be able to pull this off without too much difficulty.

God bless the sound guy for the job he did on this. I can hear the work he put in. Wouldn't envy him...

I really appreciate that Adam uses his platform to repeatedly reinforce the importance of tool safety. Power tools give us so much, but boy can they take. A healthy respect for and even fear of them should be pounded into every maker's brain.

I made one of these for my leatherworking (but I used a long nut and bolt with turning knob for the closing action), and I like this design better because it's faster. I use that setup for EVERYTHING now, not just leatherwork. It's better than having 4 arms!

I've been waiting and looking for this one! So excited I didn't miss this build!

Also this is so cool. I'm a luthier and I work with a lot of really small parts, I think I'm gonna have to make one of these for sure!

Part of why I love this channel is because Adam really proves that you don't need expensive cameras and setups and time-consuming editing to make for informational and entertaining videos. If you have expertise, talent, curiosity, or are doing something interesting, then all you really need is a decent phone camera, a tripod, and mindfulness of your audio. I can't tell, he _could_ be wearing a lav, but an "OK" lav isn't horribly expensive. Even if he is, you can get _acceptable_ audio with a cell phone so long as you speak at a good level, do what you can to reduce reverb, and mix your audio so that you can be heard and your cuts don't jump from whispers to ear rape. And I know he has a God-tier workshop that you could call an "expensive setup", but a lot of what he does in these one day build really don't require the wide range of tools he uses. Most of his tools are time saving "nice-to-haves" that can be substituted for much cheaper (powered or hand) versions or more basic household tools. Bandsaw = hacksaw/ scroll saw. Sanding wheel/ grinding wheel/ standing belt sander = handheld belt sander in a vise/ basic hand power sander/ or, you know, just sandpaper and files. Drill press = hand drill and some guide blocks and/ or patience. Table saw = skill saw/ hand saw/ skillful karate chops (I recommend saving for a table saw of you can, though, home versions can be had secondhand for decently cheap prices and are a total game-changer). The only things he has that are more uncommon in the home and are also hard to substitute for are the milling machine, lathe, and welder, and the latter two are still not as impossible to save up for as you might think. Also, a lot of his tools, especially the hand tools, seem to have been made himself. So an investment of time and money into some of the more fundamental tools in his shop and the skills to use them has meant that he has been able to expand his arsenal for just the cost of raw materials and time. In short, I love this shit and it's helped nudged me back into the garage to start putting my workshop back together almost from scratch. I kind of want to see how much of my own toolbox I can make from the mishmash of what I have plus a few gaps I need to replace.

Adam Savage is a true American hero.

Hey Adam, im a band instrument repair tech, we use shellac as a glue for pads in saxophones and other wind instruments. its interesting to see it used in this way, things to being back to the shop on monday.

Always did hand saddle stitch but the need for a pony would come in handy from time to time. Can’t wait to see how the “master of slabs” mini slabs work as a workbench top.

Hey Adam Great Video! Just as a little trick I learned when gluing leather to wood... 2P-10 Glue works amazing. The vertical pull is wild, it would hold 50lbs easy. I use 2P-10 whenever I glue leather to wood for a quick hold and it works amazing. Thanks again for the great video.

It's alway amazing and fun to think along with Adam and imagine how myself would solve these design choices and problems. We don't think that different :)

I like the clamp, a good addition to the workbench. The trick to glueing leather is to rough up the surface that you glue. Make the surface open so the glue has more to grip on to. This also allows the glue to soak in to the pores inside the leather. I learned this from my grandad who was a cobbler. He always did it when gluing leather soles. I do it when I make my Raiders holsters.

Hello Adam! I love the style of these videos. They remind me of old KZfaq. Real gold content! 😌

This is so strange. I've been watching leather craft for the last couple of days and this pops up. Its like you read my youtube history. Thanks for the video Adam.

I love your tattoo and the 2-headed adjustable wrench. You are a true genius.

Making things to help with making things will always be my favourite one day builds!

Well there goes tomorrow’s plans I need one of these now. Nicely done Adam

You know what I'm most jealous about in your shop? It's not the amount of stuff you have to hand, or the myriad of tools available... It's the amount of LIGHT you've got. I really need top do something about mine.

I just made one this weekend!! Great project!
