Is this the livestream from last build that went private, Or will that be available later?
the stream is so late in the evening here in Norway so i realy want to watch it later the day after the stream :) I just realy love all the videos and dont want to miss out of anything :)
when I try to hit the bell Icon, I m told that "this action is turned off for content that is made for children" new YT policy is working just grand. (dripping sarcasm)
AvE is what I strive to be when I grow up. Ps I'm almost 40.
Sounds like you would really enjoy James Mays' "The Dissassembler."
He starts with a bunch of parts laid out and builds things like a motorcycle, or a lawnmower.
Use the Metric System only!!!
I REALLY hope that this format of video continues after this lockdown ends. I love just hanging out with Adam in all his glory. Doesn't even have to be a super regular thing, just once a month would be awesome.
We're working out how we may be able to do this. Adam has a great time with it.
Yes please
I'm from the future! It does!
8 months on... We may literally never know.
Adam I just wanted to thank you.
You give so much of your time and expertise to the maker community. I spent so much time watching you on Mythbusters growing up and being able to see you on this platform is just great.
I listened to your narration of your book a couple months ago. One passage really stuck with me. You discuss how your parents gave you the freedom to explore and be creative.
My son is almost 2 now and I apply what you said every single day in his life already. We do little arts and crafts projects with him now, that eventually will progress into building things and real problem solving.
Your show, your book and your RUclips content are absolutely inspiring. Thank you for all of it.
20:43 for everyone curious (like myself) about Adam's finger.
This was the exact comment I was looking for, thanks xD
That's what I was looking for. Thanks good man!
This is what I've been waiting for, finally seeing Adam not know where something is in his shop.
He is mortal after all
@@fuzzlemacfuzz Wait, wait, what??
So familiar. I literally had this thing 90 seconds ago ... aaargghh
Paul McGee me and my knitting/crocheting supplies. I keep them in my room at the moment-long story-and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve missed something because it got buried. Stitch markers are the worst for that.
Adam, please keep doing these, they are giving me so much comfort. It’s really nice to share in the struggles and achievements. Thank you so much. ❤️📐🛠💡
I love how , even with decades of experience and tools to fit every job, he still runs across helpful things that he didn't know about before.
Adam you have to watch Colin Furze. He's a very good maker. Would love to see you two collaborate one day.
Absolutely!
I get the feeling that should Adam and Colin collaborate, large explosions would inevitably occur
@@jocax188723 lol....yep
totally
Adam is the only person that I've seen with more stuff and machines than colin a team up would be awesome.
The laptop mic sounds good! Also, thanks Adam and Tested team for putting together stuff like this during shelter-in-place. It’s relaxing and even motivating to watch the builds and live-streams!
We appreciate everyone's patience. Ryan got an ethernet cable and adapter in there, which helped a lot!
Adam: Glue a small thin neodymium magnet on the bottom on the outside of each of those screw containers, it will both hold the screws in place and allow you to stick the container to a metal sheet or ... well anywhere magnetic... like the fridge.
That's a nice idea and I like it for bigger screws but that size is so small that you cannot pinch the screws, so a magnet could make it quite hard to fish the screw of the container. I would test before buying a bunch of magnets for them.
What I use on my tool pouch would probably be good for screw containers as well. I tie a little wire to a disk magnet that I drop in and out of the pouch, the other end tied to a ring hook I clip onto the pouch or the work piece. You can make it look professional and be strong by using 16 gauge wire and (red) butt splices. There is just enough room to feed the wire through, loop it around something and then push back in to crimp it snug onto the magnet or retainer side. Stands up to getting snagged on ladders just fine so plenty strong for even a rough environment.
That is a very good idea ;-)
the love when Adam mentions Simone, i miss the two of you together, thank you for this videos and for everything
Ah, working from home, these videos are little gems. I'm not even a 'builder' but Adam has such an infectious (no pun intented) personality I enjoy every one. Thanks Tested Crew you make each day under lockdown a little more bearable.
Adam, your comments about "stealing time" and balance are amazing. I have never related to anything more.
Adam. Get a Dyson fan and purifier, leave it running constantly on auto, removes the pollen in the air. It's game changing for hay-fever.
I love that Adam has a passion for his videos, I love to watch while I do my crafting, it feels like he is in my maker area and taking to me.
I love how much you love watching people build stuff, and you yourself are one of those people!
There's only one word, Awsome! Thank you. You make me feel like I'm in your shop, just you and me, shooting the breeze.
You have had such an influence on me over the late ten years or so and I would love to thanks you for all your work. Without your programs and videos I would never got in to building all the thing I do and enjoy my hobby so much.
Loving these 1 on 1 videos Adam, when everything goes back to normal please still do these little videos, they are so personable and show why we enjoy you so.
Hi Adam,
Love the show... keep them coming. I know that hayfever is bad news, but the full body sneeze... priceless.
I for one find that the view of the shop we have got over the livestreams has been far and away better than everything I've seen on all the years of watching Tested I've seen before. Keep this up.
I just wanna say after talking about your cooking, I would love to see you and Gordon Ramsay do a vid. Not the yelling Gordon, but the fun just cooking Gordon. Love your vids. And being in lockdown to keep my family safe, you are such a bright light. Thanks for sharing.
Adam!!! Please check out "This Old Tony." He's a genuine maker and an amazing entertainer. If you like all of them, you'll like ToT. He often does crossovers with them.
Bump
I guarantee he watches TOT. Such a good channel he has to have come across it. If he hasn’t though, then I third this comment. I wonder how many times I’m watching AvE, or Tubalcain, or TOT, or Clickspring, or Oxtoolco, or Abom79, or any of the other guys, that Adam is watching at the same time.
How awesome is it that I’m actually talking to one of the stars of MythBusters!
Almost as awesome to be talking to one of the model makers of Industrial Light and Magic
@@captainnwalps6689 almost as awesome to be talking to a person with the greatest name,Mr.Savage
I really needed to hear your solutions for dividing time between family, work, and hobby shop. It’s something I struggle with quite a bit being nearly middle aged with a toddler. I built a shop for my metal and wood work about 10 mins from home (moved from my basement and garage). I find I go less often than slipping out to the garage, but I spend more time focused in the shop than in the garage. So, thanks for your comments on that subject.
I am so glad I saw this episode, I didn't even go through the whole thing before I ordered my Ecto-1 as well. Thank you Mr. Adam for showing me this wonderful thing.
Keep wearing The Mask! Stay safe, keep your loved ones safe, be here next year! Meanwhile, keep posting the best content to RUclips and have my/our gratitude! Thanks Dude!

I have been working from home for a few weeks and I have started taking an afternoon coffee break and watching some of Adams Live stream. Its like bumping into 'that' guy at the coffee pot that always has a crazy story to tell.
I like how your phone lit up when you said hold the phone 😂 9:40
@Adam et. al., if you haven't considered it, weekly or monthly medicine holders are excellent for organizing, or temporarily storing project-based screws. May not be quite as cheap, configurable, or see-through as your custom solution, but it's a very handy trick I picked up working on computers in IT over the years. Probably more effective when you only have a smaller variety of screws. Perhaps easier for quick jobs, so you don't have to have a whole bunch of tiny containers. Also the snap lids are probably easier to open and close quickly than a bunch of screw caps. I keep several "M-F" medicine holders in my drawer and use them all the time.
He loves AvE! That is the absolute high point of my day.
It's really awesome.
That was so precious, you are in panic mode, level 1. Well this progresses through levels up as you look for the thing you lost. I love this because I do the very same thing...I feel vindicated because you are the same as one of us.
This Video was very heartwarming, I thoroughly enjoyed it : )
0:05 So true. I can’t believe that it’s the middle of April already.
I am so relieved that the live stream from 14th april is up now. I really enjoy the Q&As and I think it would be nice to keep them going on in the future :)

@@not_stepped_on To be fair, caffeine *is* a drug, if only a fairly mild one.
@@The_Keeper The Mayo Clinic says "Caffeine in powder or liquid form can provide toxic levels of caffeine, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cautioned. Just one teaspoon of powdered caffeine is equivalent to about 28 cups of coffee. Such high levels of caffeine can cause serious health problems and possibly death."
Hey Adam what a coincidence I have you on my laptop at the end of the workbench while I build a 1/48 scale Lancaster bomber 😁
Lego doesn't give up extra pieces on purposes. They use robots to sort out the pieces by weight. Some of the parts weigh so little, extras get added by mistake, but a happy mistake they don't mind.
Hey Adam, I have an AvE sticker over my lathe and I was telling my wife I should send you my extra after your incident. Since you mentioned you are an AvE fan I would love to send it to you. It's both fitting and funny, let me know where to send it if you would like it.
That wouldn't happen to be the "Don't put your finger.." sticker, would it? :D
@@AgentWaltonSimons no, it's the "Danger, not only will this kill you, it will hurt the whole time you're dying" Sticker.
@@Balyrion try @ Adamn or Norm on twitter, their assistants could probably get you the info.

I've got the same one on my router table.
@@A1BASE I have that one too, haven't decided where to put it yet.
I unsubscribed when you started to mess around with those scheduled shows in youtube, but now in quarantine you got me back. Just keep making nice content and release them when they are ready and I will watch them! :)
So glad you said Edge precision. He is such a master at what he does, just amazing.
8:36 Adam ping-ponging all over the shop. "I still don't have the energy to tackle the tiny screws bin"
For earbuds, I really like the quality of the RHA CL2. They're a bit pricey, but the quality is great. They also have the option to take the buds off and hook them up to different things. So one way to use them is on a cable to a 3.5mm jack, and the other is to put them on the wireless unit, which is a wrap around the neck type thing. Conveniently, that won't get knocked into a sewer. You can also take them out and let them dangle for a moment.
Myth-buster was an end goal scenario every show. You all built us up with facts and specific tests towards one closed goal, and then answered that one thing to the best of your abilities to satisfy the audience. Nearly everything you do on this channel is a totally open-ended conversation. You never answer one question here, you CREATE more questions for us to explore ourselves.
I wish i had found this channel and more so this series sooner this past week has been so good listening to adam chat away while im working on my own will definitely have to dive deeped into the backlog of videos
Yes! To kitchen organization and meal prep/cleanup strategy video please.
Your explanation on family and managing time with professional obligations was amazing very well spoken thank you it was appreciated
Amd we here felt it while you were saying it. You sir are wiser than most of us think
for screws that i don't wanna mix up (and I don't want to spill) i use medicine bottles, i have a full crate of them (i knew I would find a use for them one day) and i use them for storage of small stuff, i sometimes put a note inside to remind me what the screws went with XD
i love listening to your videos while i draw :)
do more Q&As please!
That is so right about people watching your vids and tested while working. i will be doing some cad in my space with your vids playing next to the cad monitor on second screen and listen to the ambient noise of you machining something late at night for example it is relaxing and as if someone is working away near you. its strange but its like comforting and motivating having that background activity so to speak.
Adam: This might be a touch dark, so I do apologize.
How do you maintain your creative project energy, and also work as a professional, long term?
My biggest fear, as a working professional, is that as times go by, I lose the energy and love for creative making in my off time, and that I simply become "mundane".
So glad I'm not the only person that has something, sets it down, and then spends the next 10 minutes looking for it when I need it again
Adam: These are awesome and really inexpensive on Amazon.
Amazon: Out of Stock
Adam I love you. I’m getting a ruler tattoo when this quartizle is over
5:14: oh, I think I need a bunch of those trays!
12:10
Shivers, dude.
AVE is my favourite and I thought he would be too obscure in this sea of channels for Adam to even notice... Wow!
Adam, if you like watching people build stuff, you should check out Wranglerstar. Also for electrical stuff I recommend Big Clive, I feel like he'd be right up your alley. By the way I was a huge fan of Mythbusters for years and I think this channel is so cool. Glad to see that you're still doing quality content.
Have you thought about pill organisers. At tray that can hold all of them.
Or bead containers.
You can get them online or in craft stores and they're usually pretty tight, so even ridiculously tint pieces don't fall into another compartment.
Just look for a softer plastic one. Acrylic or other very hard plastics shatter almost as easily as glass and the plastic reacts with all kind of chemicals and just dissolve.
I used to work with polymer clay a lot and that stuff eats through that type of hard plastic like acid.
And something like acetone also damages it easily.
But anyways. Bead containers. Made to store really tiny things.
Also, many people forget this simple step but when you are with a partner. You really need to ask this specific question. Are you happy with the way things are going, and the conversation goes from there. The harder it is to ask, the more work needs to be done and the sooner it needs to be asked...
RE: Cooking. my grandfather (a scientist) taught me that cooking was just science; with a bit of art thrown in.. it's just another form of 'making'. :)
mark burban cooking is chemistry except you eat the end result.
@@jocax188723 the best chemistry
Adam,
What books do you have on your book shelf?
Thanks.
You can drill a small 1mm hole in a injured nail, just after the hit..✨and release the pressure AND pain 🤓👍🏻
Adam, you were supposed to speak at Rowan University’s commencement in May. Please consider speaking next year for us seniors of ‘21. We engineers would love to get a send off from someone we grew up watching and sparking our love for what we do.
Pill box would work great, too. Can pick them up at any pharmacy.
Suggestion: Tighten the lids on the screw containers and then draw horizontal (or vertical) lines on them so that you can visually see when they are all closed.
wait, he didn´t mention this old tony, or martin from wintergatan?
simulation is glitching
I know! And maybe I missed if he said it, but *every* maker seems to watch Diresta. XD
I really like to watch blacksmiths do forging and grinding pieces of metal into weaponries.
My go to was *AWE me* and is now *That Works* ...same guys...Matt Stagmer & Ilya Alekseyev.
Other channels that I love to watch are:
- Derek Muller's *Veritasium* (Element of Life)
- *The Slow Mo Guys* Gavin Free & Daniel Gruchy
- *Physics Girl* Dianna Cowern
- Matt Mikka's *Warped Perception*
- Destin Sandlin's *SmarterEveryDay*
- Ian McCollum's *Forgotten Weapons*
- Anni & Lauri Vuohensilta's *Hydraulic Press Channel* and *Beyond the Press*

I've made a vertical garden from all the stuff I would of normally recycled, and a bicycle trailer so I can go get manure and cardboard for more no dig boarders. I have 5 adults togrow food for in a garden about 30 x 30 ft. Mother of invention and all that. Stay safe Adam, from here in the UK.
Adam-your cave looks like my dream craft room! I do knit and crochet, but I would love to have a similar setup to your cave for my supplies.
Adam needs to watch Wintergatan and the amazing art and engineering project that is MMX. It is truly one of the most amazingly enjoyable projects to watch unfold in "real time" on RUclips, and when it is finished it should be seen as one of the greatest examples of what is made possible in large because of the artistic and dedicated maker community on RUclips. I can't even come close to express how great that whole project is.
You like small component storage - you should try WEN TAI boxes - spring loaded lids and come in variety of sizes that can be clipped together - I love them for small component / screw etc
The plastic trays that carbide inserts come in are great for holding small screws.
So glad you shouted out AVE !!
i can see why having a shop away from your house gives you more time with family , its cause when your at the away shop you tell your self "its quitting time" an head home , but when the shop is in your house you can go there any time you want with no way of telling your self its quitting time
Great videos as always. I was wondering if while in isolation and knowing your love of Sci fi, would you be able to show us how to make a star trek uniform as seen in voyager and the next generation, especially the com badges please. Would love to be able to follow as I would love to make one to fit correctly and have actual prop sized badges and accessories.
Thanks.
Hope you and your team are safe and well during this crisis

holds his umpteenth ginger beer of the day while mulling over his favorite comfort food ... and doesn't mention it
Its really comforting how good takout is right now. I used to go out at least once a week and now since my dad has been laid off its almost none existant but the unemployment check came and we had some Burger King. So good.
Adam, for your Ecto model build, if you don't want to lose screws, get a magnetic dish. I use magnetic dishes all the time when I'm doing repair work and assembly so I don't lose screws.
Adam, check out storage boxes for SMD electronic components. They are super convenient for small parts, come in several sizes and colors, and they lock together. I've used them for everything from resistors to o-rings. One brand is Wen Tai Snap Boxes. Stay safe...and organized :)
The current project I'm working on in my shop is rebuilding a Cummins N14 engine that's for one of my semis. I completely rebuilt a Caterpillar 3406E in my Kenworth w900l this past January. So kinda like model building but with much bigger parts and more $$$. :)
There's something I instituted doing electronics builds, guitar pedals and small amps, that I've tried to do forever since - that is as I have the plan and start building up the BOM having a storage solution for the board and components, etc. with the plan so it's like a lego box of parts and instructions that will eventually end up with the BOM all ticket off and is ready to kit build basically. I also has this approach back then that the storage for pedals in particular was old throw away backup tape plastic containers which i'd then drill holes in and mount everything to do the testing and troubleshooting. then finally I could see all of it almost in situ and start building the aluminium casing and routing all that off board componentry. Let the storage also be part of the process taken up a notch.
i like using ice cube trays for screws, parts, etc during a teardown/build
I love using the black wash, makes the details pop. You should tell the folks how to do it. Give them a before and after.
I TOTALLY do that. I like having the sound of people in the house! (i live waaaay out in nothing and it gets a little empty at times)
When Adam can’t sit still cause he’s peaking on powder. Lol. Get em!
Suggestion, add some padding to those box interior(s) so that parts don’t get scratched (particularly the Crome and transparent ones).
B-T-W tattoo ink cups (in various sizes/capacities are useful for maintaining specialized mixed paint colors, are are potentially useful for small parts as well.
I can highly recommend This Old Tony's videos. The man is a comedic genius along with being a pretty good engineer
Love your videos! would you make a one day build for an action figure collection display? the 3.75 inches, like the star wars vintage toys.
best regards, and keep up giving us ideas!!!
Halligan is building one too. He is a refrigerator repair guy I think who rebuilt a south bend. Great channel
Remind me of the song by Johnny Cash: I got it one piece at a time.
Do they also offer the 1990's BATMOBILE?
You should build that next! Heck, I'd even buy it and build it with you (via Utube video)...

I haven't needed to wear my hearing aid since we went into lockdown. Still trying to get used to it.
Well, that interesting. Is it because nobody’s talking to you (ha ha) or the fact that the ambient noise is lower? I haven’t had a change on my tinnitus.
should wear it anyway. hearing levels could degenerate without
Hey Adam hot glue rare earth magnets into the lids of those plastic cans. that keeps the screws in place and if the cap comes off the screws do not spill. I've been using that trick for years now. if you glue magnets to the bottom the screws are harder to get out...
A steady hand and tweezers to organize the small screws I also use little glass vials for storing smaller parts like watch stems/crowns.
Thanks for wearing a mask while bicycling! Bicyclists around here (Santa Monica National Recreation Area) mostly don't use them, unfortunately.
The Embarcadero is my favorite walking route (particularly very early inn the post-dawn morning), from Oracle Park to Levi's Park. I get to stay in my daughter's Brannan St. apartment while visiting her; won't be doing that for a while, unfortunately.
Thanks for your energy and outlook, keeping us all sane. Nice to see your big bandage gone; take care of your fingers!
I'm honestly glad Adam never made it to the build. My issues 3-6 haven't arrived yet, and it's kind of nice to work on the same project at the same time.
I love his NASA style Savage T Shirt, the other style as well. Wish this design was available in the tested store.

How about gluing little magnets to the bottom of your screw containers to attach them to your board? That way you can pull individual containers rather than moving and handling the whole thing?
They also sell small aluminum trays that hold those small acrylic containers. Some even have a clear lid.
