Awesome build! Aaaand siiince we're talking about game weapons, may I bring your attention to the Transistor, from the game "Transistor"? It is a very unique blade, which is rarely honoured with a real-life, fully-fledged replica. It has an incredible amount of soul to it (literally), as it houses a consciousness of one of the game main characters. It has a very unique, futuristic, electronic style. Also, the original material isn't that consistent, so it would be very forgiving in terms of adding own modifications to it. I would love to see you build one. PS I would also want one PS 2 Yeah, I knew that post-scriptum won't work, but it was worth a try :)

I doubt this will ever be seen by Adam or Tested staff, but I hope it is. You've probably seen these before, but if you haven't, they're amazing for shaping wood. Not a replacement for a grinder with a sanding wheel, but more an addition. Japanese saw files. Essentially a bunch of hack saw blades connected in a elongated hexagonal grid. They are amazing wood files for quickly removing material and can even act as a rough hand plane to an extent. the basic version www.amazon.com/Saw-File-S/dp/B001AX0X12/ my preferred version www.amazon.com/Shinto-9924ao-File-Sander-Type/dp/B00264J284/ (you can find them cheaper than this. probably much cheaper in one of San Francisco's amazing Japan-town hardware stores ... man I can't wait till the vaccine so I can take BART again and hit up a Japan-town hardware store. Those places are a wonderland.

I used Ambrosia Maple for the head, and Cherry for the handle. The guy who received it as a going away gift loved it so it went well.

Adam, first of all I'd like to say thank you for continuing to make content during the pandemic. You've helped me immensely in keeping me entertained. Secondly, I would like to thank you again, but this time for a very different and personal reason. You remind me an awful lot of my Dad, who sadly passed away way too early for me to fully appreciate him. He was a very DIY, build-it-dont-buy-it, handy-man kinda guy. The things you do, and the mannorisms you portray, remind me so much of him sometimes and it brings me great joy to see it again. I was lucky enough to help with some of his projects and builds. I will always treasure those memories. So, thank you so much for helping me remember him. You're an amazing person, Adam. I just wanted you to know that. Please keep doing what you're doing. I'd love to meet you some day and thank you in person, and maybe tell you some stories about my Dad. Thank you again

And i can only imagine the tenseness from not breaking the build while you made it.Most people would love this piece to hang on their walls or be in their collection. In fact there is little difference from what you made to an actual full sharpened version that a norse warrior could have used, Great job man.

@DragonHide94 Жыл бұрын

A note about "flats" on a tool handle: Much like a sword or any edged weapon where edge alignment is important, an axe handle could benefit from flat sides to provide a reference for alignment. Swords of the past also did have oval handles as a more round substitute for a flat octagon or rounded rectangle, but in general,, flats are beneficial. An axe also has a weighted head which tends to help alignment for a cut, but it also tends to carry momentum when out of alignment. Thus flats would help an axe as well. It may not seem as ergonomic, but practically speaking there is reason to consider it.

Well done... Adam you are a legend to my generation, throughout the years you made science cool and fun. Just think of the contributions you have made to the young now becoming engineers and of various other professions. Thankyou for your contributions to our future and for your unique uplifting fun personality.

This is PERFECT for me! Thank you so much! I've been trying to think of a way to make a really good, almost real looking great axe prop for a dnd character I play. But it has a really specific design that larp makers don't design even close to.

Probably my favorite one day build. So fun, so cool, and for such a kindhearted purpose. It’s got everything.

Sir, never apologize for getting excited about any aspect of your passion, even if it is over a heat gun. :) Those little moments are gold, in the show and in life.

When I started learning about leather working, my friend said "jack of all trades and a master of none" ...but the more I watch you, the better I feel about wanting to know how to make and work stuff in all mediums. Thanks for the videos!

My favorite part of halloween is making the key props for costumes. I can sew adequately for the portions that require it (usually just modifying things I bought at thrift stores), but it isn't really fun. Unfortunately the best accessories end up being things *I* have to carry while trick or treating (Gandalf's staff, including glowing stone; Legolas's bow and quiver; Grimreaper's scythe). With only a few hand held power tools (and a generalized miserliness) I resort to simple (or more complicated but cheaper) solutions like finding appropriately sized branches and shaping them with handtools before sanding/carving. After building a bunch of prop items, I have decided there is almost nothing I can't recreate with foam, hotglue (for adhesive and sculpting), waterputty, thermoplastic and random items lying around in the house/workshop. But a box or something to be used on a semi regular basis is something that requires more care and proper building. That's my next test (and you've given me the good idea, thanks!)

whoever's in charge of audio, it would be much appreciated if you just removed the frequencies of the background noise. The volume threshold just makes it so that whenever Adam talks, the high pitched background noise kicks in and it's very difficult to ignore and always gives me a headache while watching these one day builds (which I LOVE)

@luigi-op6mq 3 жыл бұрын

that or just leave the background noise in, the constant cutting in and out is worse than just having the noise be constant where one would get used to it very quick
