  • OK, so Adam Savage didn't experience a flood, exactly. But we noticed a certain pattern in the responses to our Starfield video ( • Adam Savage Builds a R... ) ... comments like, "Did Adam put a smurf on the lathe? His hands are all blue." (@michaelholmstrom7677) and, "How do you know someone murdered a blue blooded creature without them telling you they murdered one!?"(@adamalander7515) The good news is, no blue lives were lost. Here's what happened.

      I think there was one second where he embraced the anger and then released it. The second time when he squeezed the bottle, he looked straight at the camera and you can see the cartoon censored expletives pass through his mind, before he laughs and goes into clean up mode.

      I'm guessing it has to do with years of experience being on camera. Seeing yourself raging after the fact is probably not a good look, especially knowing other people are seeing it too, so I'm sure he's learned to temper his reactions quite effectively.
      It seems almost like at 5:10 to 5:20 he's holding his breath and counting to ten, maybe that's how he deals?

    I know this was frustrating for Adam, but his reaction is really something I am trying to emulate. I would have gotten very angry and been irritated for awhile. Adam has talked about this before, but he let him self experience the frustration for a moment, let it pass, laughed about it, and then got to work cleaning it up. Watching this example from Adam truly shows it is possible to get there.

One of the things I wish I could have learned sooner was how to handle being my own worst enemy in the shop sometimes. Adam sets a great example of how to laugh at yourself and keep on making.

    OMG - I love it! Adam, When I was a kid I thought it would be awesome to smash a can of metallic blue spray paint between two granite cobble stones. So I carefully placed the first stone on the ground, set the full can of spray paint on top, on it's side, facing away from me (for safety of course), and then proceeded to take the 2nd cobble stone and as hard as a 13 year old could, smash it down (from over my head) on to the can of spray paint. Needless to say my plan (and the can of spray paint) backfired and the next thing I know, I've become a deep metallic blue Smurf. Almost the same color as your ink. I was covered from head to toe in blue and it took me hours and lots of turpentine to get it off. The blue was still in my hair weeks later. So take solace that someone out there had an even worse experience with Blue. Thanks for the great video and wonderful memory flash back. PS... My Mom's reaction was priceless. :-) All the best.

    They make similar little bottles of tempera paint for preschoolers, which my school of course buys for our classrooms, and they seem so lovely when you first open them up, but the glue that keeps the little cap fixed on inevitably fails at the worst possible moment, and long before the paint inside is used up.

    Even though you told us what was going to happen when you squeezed it, I still found myself yelling "DON'T DO IT" at the screen, as though that was going to change the outcome. Geniune LOL.

    Oh man, i feel your pain. I had the same happen to me with red printer ink. I was covered in it. With the the red inkt dripping from my face. Just when a costumer walked in, and ran out again. The shop must have looked like a butcher shop where the butcher just lost a fight with a bull.

    I was a US Navy Machinist's Mate for 20 years. I used Prussian Blue regularly in my job as a match marker for metal surface work, such as inspecting and repairing bearings and valve seats. Seeing this brought back memories, for sure.

    That moments pause after you squeezed it is *priceless*. I don’t know how many times I’ve done something and instantly had that “of course that just happened, I don’t know what else I was expecting” moment 😂

    The feeling when you do the stupid thing, knowing it's stupid but do it anyway. That feeling is perfectly encapsulated by Adam turning the camera on to himself and just standing there

      That feeling tends to happen at the drill press, when you think you can hold the part, but is proven wrong seconds later.

    Something similar happened to me the other day. I had a Dollar Tree tube of super glue and the cap must have been adhered to the tube. So, as normal, I take pliers and try to break the weld and loosen the cap. The cheap tube tore and super glue went all over my left hand. It was COVERED!! FML! 😂

    I absolutely love this. I am an optimist but I am surrounded by pessimists and I think about the distinction often. The pessimists see optimists as somewhat delusional, like we don't see the issues, but NO, it's that we see it, we accept it, and we move on to what we can do rather than rail at the universal cruelty that caused the marker to mock you, not once, but twice!

    It seems like most of the time when I see marking fluid used in videos it is applied with a brush. I'm sure that method has its drawbacks as well, but is probably a lot less likely to spill.

    @ravusursi893 11 месяцев назад +3

    We use a similar product in the UK. It’s good for the jobs you described but also for checking interference fits etc. The one we use is called Stuarts Micrometer Engineers Marking. Ours is like a paste in a small circular tine. It gets everywhere… lol

    • @wbfaulk
      @wbfaulk 11 месяцев назад +1

      Stuarts is what we'd call just "prussian blue" in the US. (Prussian blue is really just the pigment; the product in question is actually that pigment held in a non-drying oil, so like oil paint that will never cure.) I've never heard of it being used for marking, because it's so susceptible to smearing, but it's definitely used to assess the consistency of an interference-type fit.
