Inside Adam Savage's Cave: Spilled Sortimo Storage Box Sorting!
Рет қаралды 223,697
Күн бұрынAdam has long kept his workshop hardware organized and stored in his favorite Sortimo storage boxes, and we've always wondered what would happen if one of these cases falls off the rack and spills. It finally happened, and Adam recruits a surprise guest to help him sort the many hundreds of machine bolts and get them back in the case, a project that ends up taking MANY weeks!

I just have to say, that seeing Adam with his mom makes me so happy in a weird way. I lost my mom years ago and I sometimes thing "what would life be like if she was still around?" Seeing someone like Adam over the years through the lens of "entertainment" is one thing. You have time to get to know at least part of who and what an "Adam" is. And then years later you see him get to show his awesome mother on camera and she is just as sweet and amazing as he is. It just tugs on the heartstrings and make you think about the past and people you love who are lost to time. Ha, that probably didn't entirely come across as I meant it, but I'm sure the point is there. Thank you for all you do, for being a great dude and for having an awesome mom! I hope she ends up being a super-centurion (did I get that right?) and lives a much longer and healthier life than my mom got to. :) That way I know my mom can live a little vicariously through her...at least in my mind. Peace and love! ~Brian

Interesting. I would have sorted by length first since that's easier for my eyes to distinguish between, and then once THAT variable is removed from the equation, distinguishing the different thread forms of the same length screw would have been easier. It's sort of like LEGO sorting, most people I think find it easier to sort by color, and THEN by shape. Our brains don't do well when the mess contains multiple variables, so finding the easiest way to reduce the piles to single-variable is always my preferred strategy.

I just did a similar project during lockdown. I had a huge bin of hardware that was left over from my dad. My brother and I also added to it over the years...anyways I took it upon myself to organize it. It took 3 days of sorting but it's finally organized. So much effort but so worth it. It is 1000x easier to find what I need now.

I know you mean well and I don't think most people are bothered by it, but it's just as easy to describe your tidy preferences with other words (precise, fastidious, finicky, neat-freak, etc) that don't have the chance of accidentally hurting people.

The sense of doom I had watching them scatter in slow motion was indescribable. After dragging a magnet across the room, and about an hour I had everything back as it was before the catastrophe. But a hard lesson learned, ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE BOX IS LATCHED PROPERLY! The only question now is how long til I forget and do it again?

Adam, my first question was, "How much is it going to cost to buy new?" You answered that question immediately, but then you said that it took several weeks. I know you had two concerns about starting new. The cost, and the waste of 25 pounds (~11.25 kg) of screws. I have a quick solution that would have solved both problems and not cost you two weeks. Package the screws up, throw an autographed picture, or maybe even copy of your book, in the box, and sell it on eBay. Make an announcement on your social media, and promise any profit will go to charity. You would have had a buyer for that in no time, with enough money to get new screws, ship the box to the buyer, and still donate what I think would be more than $100 to charity.

I doubt it would have helped much, if it fell from that height. You'd probably end up with some screws bouncing and getting stuck to _other_ magnets, so you'd have to check all the ones still in there. What I did with my sorting boxes (which aren't Sortimos, but are very similar) was put them on slanted rails. So If I forget to push them back in, they just slide slowly back on their own (or at least can't slide or tilt forwards).

I think SavageMom's eyes aren't good enough to rely on that. And that is assuming there aren't widths that are easy to misinterpret until you get good at it. For someone unfamiliar with the screws and the desire to not missort, it is important to make sure a proper foundation is built before worrying about speeding things up. There's probably quite a few different screws that end up in the same basket, but are of different vendors / styles... which has the potential to confuse a novice.

though tedious it must have been fun being able to spend time with your mom. i'v been in that situation with the screws before man all i can say is i wish i had had someone to talk with when i was sorting lol

I sorted while talking to friends online. A kilo of assorted cement screws with their plugs (might be a wrong translation, english is not my native language ^^") dropped weeks ago and i sorted them last week.

That's what I was thinking! I'm not sure it would have been able to sort them completely, but maybe at least some of the sub-sorts could have been done automatically?
@jaredshaffer3901 3 жыл бұрын
I wonder how close it could have gotten then by sorting by weight. It should at least be able to get all the same diameter and length sorted, then you just have to sort the different thread pitches.

@heroslippy6666 3 жыл бұрын
children's piggy bank coin sorters are only based on the diameter of the coin. if you really want to sort something like screws, it'd need to sort for several variables, and i think it'd end up being mainly software. Adam could definitely build the mechanical portion of the sorter.

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing this. One option is to sort without looking and do it by feel. The taps lock perfectly with the threads. It feels great for such a nice fit. Once you've got the match it can go in the bin. No need to look.
