This weekend build takes on something that's been bothering Adam for a while: the stability of his workbench. So in order to pay it forward for all future One Day Builds, Adam takes apart his workbench and rebuilds it to his satisfaction. The project takes a few detours as Adam has to contend with welder issues, so it's not a build that goes as originally planned!

I'm going to hazard a guess that you got that aluminum from Home Depot, one useful trick with our labels is WD-40, soak them for a few minutes and they'll come right off with some minor scraping. They have an X cut in them to help ingress for exactly this purpose ;P

When a company grows, it has an inevitable point beyond which the only people "making" money for the company are the ones who cut costs. And it almost always starts innocently, like let's optimize this, that, then it trickles into "let's replace that metal part with a plastic one", because once the original, good will is expended and the greedy CEOs look at them expectantly for more cost cutting, they go into the bad things territory. IMO a great reason to have laws that interdict companies from changing products once they exit on the market, in such a way that they become easily destroyed, have planned obsolescence, or any feature that cheapens them. Kinda like we have independent testing and certification for cars, we should have to for products as well, want a good grade and to be allowed to sell that product, pass it through the meat grinder. Tho considering how shit CEOs are, i'd imagine that would last a few years at best until bribes would settle in.

_"The accountant."_ As an actual bean-counter, I'm annoyed at the blame we get for crappy products and once good companies turned bad. I have never interfered with the design/production process. I have never demanded bad design choices. I have never, when asked to cost a project for them, chosen to cost out human lives as "if $income-$lawsuits=$profits then do". And I have never, in my working life, seen any other accountant, fin.officer, bookkeeper or freakin' accounts.clerk do any different. The only input I have into that side of things is to give the owners a genuine account of their income/expenses and regulatory issues. If they decide to use those numbers to eke out every cent of profit and put nothing back into R&D, or skimp on product testing, cheapen a previously good design, or just out and out endanger their customers, it had nothing to do with my choices or preferences. Don't get me wrong, I've seen incompetent finance people, hell I've seen them straight up steal from a company. But I've never seen any of us in a position to cheapen products, strip-mine companies, or endanger lives.

No! The opposite. He should have riveted both X's after forcing the "legs" out since the meating place of the X do change after that. Probably moved 1-2mm so the X bracing on one side is not as good as the other side because of that, but is it a big change? Probably not, but perfection is not achieved :)

@@Platinum_Squid It would almostwork the way it's supposed to. Depending on the caster design having the brake lever installed upside down may not engage the brake correctly. Realistically it's more of a thing that he won't have as far a travel on the lever because it's designed to be a slight upward (U) curve so the lowest point of the lever is the middle where it connects to the caster, when installed upside down it's going to sit slightly below center of the wheels and therefor contact the ground before it fully engages the brake. I highly doubt this is a big problem for Adam anyway though as he said the whole reason for this redesign was cause he hated it when he had to move it and he had to move it often so I doubt it'll be locked into position often.

When Adam brought out the huge channel locks it reminded me of a time when I was a kid in Boyscouts. We were having our annual awards meeting, and there were groups doing skits on stage. One of them was this guy who built a machine that would enlarge things. He would stick in a small cup and out came a huge cup. He did this with several things including a wrench, he stuck in a wrench, and out came a huge wrench. Then at the end he stuck in his sister's doll, and the box shook and blew apart, and out jumped someone that was about 17 or 18 dressed the same as the doll, and it started chasing him. It was great. Adams wrench reminded me of that skit, which says something because the skit was about 50 yrs ago.

Sure, it helps that his workshop is very well lit, but if you want good lighting there are plenty of options to use, shooting in the brightest room in the house using daylight through the window for instance. Honestly, Out of all the things Adam does, this might be the most inspiring of all. Continuing with his phone. And i know the iPhone has a crazy good camera, but most phones these days are exceptional shooters.

Has anyone ever mentioned how satisfying it is that he take pride in production? Clearly Adam is a master of a few trades, and a jack of damn near everything.... but the guy could just not care about shots and lighting and perspective, or what we see... but no. Instead he’s picked up all he’s learned from ILM to mythbusters, to commercials, and learned something about it for our benefit? He really cares about what the shot (not he) looks like, and has applied it in every video, especially since he’s been self filming in the time of corona. What a study in human behavior and an appreciated one.

In my family that size channel lock is known as the jeweler's pliers. My grandfather was under a car working on it and he needed the small pair of pliers that was out of his reach. He was a bit flustered and couldn't come up with the right words, and asked my dad to hand him the damn jeweler's pliers (meaning the small ones). My dad being the smart ass that he was pulled out the gigantic channel locks and put them in my grandpa's hand. Laughter ensued and now those channel locks will forever be jeweler's pliers.

glad to know I'm not the only one that worries about forgetting how to reassemble something. I recently rebuilt my motorcycle engine and I not only laid out each part, nut, and bolt in the same orientation and order that I removed it, I also labelled and took pictures of each step as I removed parts little by little. Helped a lot when I reassembled everything a few weeks later once the heads and cylinders returned from the machine shop. And I've found it helpful for a few friends to show my pictures and be able to have those internal shots that you normally don't get to see.

A good point, I have watch trays and I document. I have seen the regrets of old men borne out in little boxes full of things they can never put back together but will never admit to. I try not to become that person.

The one day builds that improve a piece of shop infrastructure are always my favorite. It's always nice to see things improved upon.

I love how delightfully imperfect the video is. Showing almost in all real time you working on a project. The commentary and back story on some things were funny.

I am loving the recent shift to leaving in regular audio when shifting to sped up footage, like with the grinding in this video and the tablesaw in other videos. Music tends to feel like a “5 minute crafts” video, and speeding up the audio with the video tended to create a very high frequency horrible tool noise 😂

30:41 My first real job in a repair shop back in the 90's was home electronics repair; mostly VCR's. My first lesson in the disassembly/reassembly of these small appliances was the great importance of organization found in.... a simple ice cube tray. Break the process down into steps. Hardware from each step gets it's own space in order. E.G.: Remove outer case screws, those screws go into first 'bin'. Next the rear panel screws, they go in the next bin. Mechanical chassis screws, next bin. Main board screws, next bin...etc. That process gives you every chance you need to tear down and rebuild an item with no screw left behind. To this day if I'm digging into something I'm not already familiar with, one of my first questions is, "Where the hell are my ice cube trays?" (Thanks for being a good boss & teacher Chuck!!)

My favorite book! A good friend knew I loved it and years ago I lent it to someone and never got it back. So this past Christmas she bought me another copy. Haven't dove back in and read it since, but not I think I need to!

Re: The Brown Paper... Personally I would've made a kitchen towel type dispenser for the roll of brown paper and two strips of metal o n each end of the workbench for the paper to slip under... Much like they have on doctor's examination tables. Maybe that'll be the next upgrade?
@Crispy_Bee 4 жыл бұрын
That would mean the paper moves around when you slide stuff around. No a big deal for a doctors office but could be annoying for Adam.
@XJWill1 4 жыл бұрын
Personally, I would not use paper at all unless I was doing a lot of painting. A workbench surface, particularly a wooden surface, can take some abuse. Once it gets too bad, just sand or plane it down and then its good to go again.

@steveday72 4 жыл бұрын
@@Crispy_Bee- The paper would be under the metal strips at either end, so it could only move side-to-side.... An easy fix for that would be a simple clamping mechanism at either end to apply downwards pressure onto the metal hold-down bars and some foam rubber or cork on the side that contacts the paper. Personally, I haven't found the doctor's office exam tables to slide around (and I'm in several Dr's offices regularly), but that's probably due to the clean vinyl gripping the paper a little.

Your cave is amazing. The perfect balance of function and clutter. I feel the same way about my garage, I catch myself buying nuts and bolts and gizmos to line my shelves and fill my dividers with because I love the organization of a hardware store but mixed with sentimental doodads and random wall art. I too am a tool nut and hope to have a collection similar to yours one day. Your videos keep me sane so please keep them coming!

A tip a learned when I was a gallery/museum framer for a fine art gallery framing shop. When your putting on the brown paper table cover secure one edge (usually the edge hardest to work around). Then lay out and trim paper to just over hang the edge of the table top. ** before securing the other edges lightly mist the paper with water**. Then secure the other three edges. Run a hair dryer over the damp paper working from the edges towards any wrinkles in the paper. The paper contracts as it drys giving you a flat fitted surface that will not trap any dust in a bulge or valley that can then transfer onto your work! Tip 2: do two to three layers at a time. Secure each layer separately. When the top layer is damaged just quickly strip it off and keep working. Taking 20-30 min at the start of a project to prep the workspace can result in less waisted time during the active work time, keeps the surface clean and that keeps the work clean. Less down time keeps the work moving.

Similar story on "Big Channel Locks". In 1985 I was working on a car and couldn't get the distributor to move (twist). I went to the nearest auto parts store and paid $27 (!) for a pair. I thought I would never have another use for those pliers. However, I find them in my hands more often than I ever thought. One of the best tool purchases I ever made.
