TheAlbinoskunk "You can't shoot something with a laser and be *surprised* when it catches on fire" This had me laughing out loud. In one of my materials classes we had a project that involved cutting masonite with a laser bed similar to this one. Well, it turns out masonite has imperfections that, when heated, will combust with a loud pop and potentially deposit your sheet in a new orientation, ruining your cut. So all day long for a couple of weeks there would be students staring with great anxiety into the machine, with a constant background of POOFs, POPs and BANGs. Good times.
"You can't shoot something with a laser and be surprised when it catches on fire" is the kind of sage advice that definitely belongs on every home shop and makerspace laser safety sign, right along with "Do not look directly at laser beam with remaining eye."

My god! I am a designer & CNC operator and the plastic nail securing method blew my mind! Thank you Tested for showing me this. I will definitely pitch this at my next meeting! Also this is my dream shop. ;)
I like Adam's clarifying questions. I've learned a lot of new terms, seen new equipment, and thought about new questions to ask about more stuff. Thanks, Adam!
I can not even express, how excited I would be for a space like this to open up ANYWHERE near me. This place is surely doing a service to it's community.
these are like a small anarchist commune in a way, with the least amount of rules as possible, focused on making and helping each other, and everything you have in excess is encouraged to be given to the community! I love it
This man is an incedibly inspiring and lovely person, I am a huge fan!!! And funny and friendly, such a great community. Knowledge being shared is vital, we should all do that more I think :)
There should be one of these is ever major city in the country; what an awesome concept. So many of us want to do major projects, that we need the shop space, tooling and sometimes extra know-how, but we just can't afford to put the tools we need in our garages or apartments! If I lived around the Boston area, I would certainly become a familiar face there!
This is the coolest concept I have ever seen. Been a woodworker/blacksmith/leathercraft /builder/maker for many years and live in a remote mining town in North Eastern Canada but if I ever get near Boston, I would love to visit.
Sorry, but the anvil is made from rail, not tie. Railroad ties are the wooden crossbeams that maintain spacing for the rail. Just in case anyone else was wondering. Otherwise, I'd be a kid in a candy store that also sold toys. :)
It’s not uncommon in the Artist Blacksmith community for people to make their own smaller anvils from railroad rail. However, you need serious hearing protection when using any anvil, but especially one made from railroad rails. I don’t know why anvils made from railroad rails are so much louder and ring so much more, but maybe because it’s because rails are made from a forging process while anvils are usually cast.
I don't even really make things, maybe some crochet or something every once in a while, but seeing this, I REALLY want to make something. That is such a cool space!
Thanks Adam for taking the time to make the video about this great space. I wish I had access to that place in Seattle. I use the 'Pratt Fine Arts Studio' which is great, but mostly for artwork. No lathes or anything like that. If anyone reads this from Seattle and knows of a similar thing to Artisan's Asylum, please comment.
UGHHHH. YOU GUYS WERE LITERALLY A TOWN AWAY FROM ME!!. So close yet so far!! On the other hand....I HAD NO IDEA SUCH AN AMAZING PLACE EXISTED IN THE GREATER BOSTON AREA!! I AM ECSTATIC!! GOING TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS! Totally want to get involved. I will say tested brought me here lol!
OMG talk about a wonderful place to make a good mind GREAT. I wish they had a place like this when I was young, I took apart my sisters doll that did all kinds of crazy stuff and made a hand powered flashlight. it was not ground breaking but I did it myself messing around with things like this, then I got in trouble for taking it apart but if only I had a place like this. you guys are great!!!!!!
Not that I live near London. Be great if there was one closer to me but heck, it'd 'be worth the drive. Breathing was basically intensifying for this entire video.
I once made my own mortise & tenon joints by hand for a little cherry table I made for an intro class. And it's something I don't want to do again anytime soon!
This place is amazing! Adam thank you for showing this. Man I wish Maker Spaces like this excisted in the UK! If anyone knows of any please let me know!
At one time I would have been able to contribute to this type of mastermind. These days I'm glad to have a full paycheck and to have not died. That being said, I am overly glad for Adam and Jamie. They both deserve great success.
I love it. we have one an hour away. If you try to make something the size of a table the group has to vote on weather you can do it. There are so many empty shops in town that I wish I could start my own.
probably hundreds before me, but I love his approach: "Rule Zero: don't make me make a rule. We almost had to make a rule." I need to take that and run with it in my work!
Love the traveling stories. I was once upon a time hauling a stuffed horse from an artist (Mr. Natural) who had loaned it to Paul Dresher to the Oakland studio and we pulled over to check that he was secure before getting on the freeway. He was all strapped down in the bed of a pickup truck with a cover over the head and such to protected it and the tail was bagged up etc. Anyway I'm in the back making sure all the straps are still tight and he won't go flying and this woman pulls up behind us and starts screaming about how inhumane we are treating the horse. When she stopped for air I just said "He doesn't mind he's pining for the fjords" and knocked on his hind quarters which of course sounded like knocking on wood. Didn't really make her any happier but it stopped her ranting. The artist laughed and said that when he had originally hauled to his place he stopped at a diner with the horse in the bed of a pickup and drew such a crowd that he made the evening news.
It's not often that Adam meets a guy that talks with the same passion and enthusiasm as he does.
What a great place, what a great video.
and humour!

Famous last words. "I wonder what this does?"
my favorite was the line after "...full vaporization is ideal, but..."
I have never been this excited over a shop on the other side of the world...
95berre them feels. I can't imagineyself spending much time away from there if It was near me :(
dude if it made you exit I hope you have a doctor look at that
Get excited over a shop on your side of the world, wherever that may be: wiki.hackerspaces.org/Category:Country
Man, i'm so jealous of those guys i could die xD

"Take feedback gracefully" is one of the most important skills you can learn for almost any endeavor.
What is that supposed to mean? How do you know that I don't already do that? What makes you so special? I think you're the one who needs feedback!
At my first job I was told “accept criticism, period”. They weren’t wrong.
Fuck feedback! I bang my own drum
@@DeBougrelon Then find your own space. IF you want to belong to a space like Artisan Asylum you have to be adult enough to follow their rules. Anyone who says "F Feedback" is not someone I would trust. Which is probably fine for you.
@@rpm2004 Anyone with your attitude is not someone deserving of trust or respect, IMHO.
I can not imagine the management and organisational skills it takes to keep this place functioning.
Adam, appreciate the Jaime reference; both of you guys are role models. It's great to see the respect for each other is still there.
seconded, great show of friendship and respect there
Stephen Mitchell Adam has publicly said him and Jamie would not be friends outside of mythbusters. Still a good sign of respect though.
"I never tire of little drawers full of things." Love that quote! also, "There's a lot of hoarding."
Every city should have one of these!
My god! I am a designer & CNC operator and the plastic nail securing method blew my mind! Thank you Tested for showing me this. I will definitely pitch this at my next meeting! Also this is my dream shop. ;)
They’re great. Discovered them a few months back.
I was soo excited when they go to that part and I knew about them before Adam did.... I work at Maker Works (a maker space in Ann Arbor MIch)
Got to tour this place when i was a student. Easily the most energizing, motivating, awesome place I have ever set foot in.
I like Adam's clarifying questions. I've learned a lot of new terms, seen new equipment, and thought about new questions to ask about more stuff. Thanks, Adam!

As a unskilled person, this makes me want to get hands on
indeed I cant agree more
Right
Wow. This is amazing and that guy is very well spoken.
He can certainly talk!
Phew...
:0)
i wish these where all around the world. The world needs more cooperation, creativity and creating.

23:12 knob labeled "NO"
23: 20 Adam grabs it
"ON"
This man is an incedibly inspiring and lovely person, I am a huge fan!!!
And funny and friendly, such a great community. Knowledge being shared is vital, we should all do that more I think :)
I love the way Adam approaches the knob that says NO on it and gives it a little squeeze.

I finally have 1 reason to want to live in Boston. Holy F***.
xKatjaxPurrsx Somerville, just outside of Boston. Killer rents, no parking, but, busses & train into Boston.
Adam Savage is my spirit animal. Ugh his autograph would complete me.
Adams reaction to the Arbor Press at 21:18 is the embodiment of pure joy
I toured there last year and loved it! Very impressive space.
I just found this jist on the tube.. i am completely in love with this place, this awesome dude and the complete dream that this Asylum is!

This space is amazing and I loved that guy! He had such an engaging way of talking about the space!
What an awesome facility.. We need more makers in this world
What an awesome shop. I so wish I had something like this near me. Now if only I had the extra time to start it! Thanks for this tour Adam and Derek.
these people warm my cold heart.
Always a treat to see places like this.
I don't even really make things, maybe some crochet or something every once in a while, but seeing this, I REALLY want to make something. That is such a cool space!
i don't even have any idea about this industry of building and making things but im absolutely obsessed !!
Thanks Adam for taking the time to make the video about this great space.

I really love the guide, he has such a great and engaging way about him. Brilliant.

Love the way Adam savage get excited about tools! Looks like he wants to live there👍🏻
that building is high up on the list of what i would call holey land. something like this needs to be closer to home. thanks for sharing!
this guy is a very ingenious man who is doing the right thing for the right people with a passion.
These guys are the reason we have nice things in this world.
Every machine Adam sees, his eye's light up, like the sun. Just waay too happy.
This is the best episode so far.
HOLY CRAP! So there IS a heaven after all!
WOW!
What an awe-inspiring place! Oh how I wish we had something like that around here!
Literally gave me goosebumps.
14:28 "you can only grind away so much shame"
OMG excellent art is never priced at the time it takes to make. those furniture pieces are amazing. Priceless really.
This place is awesome, and reasonably priced.
That plasma cam machine is disgusting. Change that water and the supports.
Andrew Delashaw yeah
Andrew Delashaw actually it is quite clean comparatively
I think its amazing
It's so great to see a video about the maker movement without focus on 3D printing!
Adams face wheb he said get rid of your stuff was priceless as well as his awe face when he asked if he did it
That's a pretty impressive shop! GOSH! I can only wish I had easy access to a place like that.
WOW! That is awesome!!! Need more in more locations This is absolutely a brilliant idea!
THATS THE MOST FANTASTIC PLACE I EVER SAW IM DREAMING OF HOME!!!!
the world needs more places like this
THAT'S MY MAKERSPACE!!!!!!!!!
Ceazar Carr cool spot.
Jesse Blanchard your name sounds familiar
Michael Allen wonder why....Forge member...lol
Jesse Blanchard ;)
SO Jealous! We can't have nice things in LA!
this set up has been my dream since i was 15. Exactly this.
OMG talk about a wonderful place to make a good mind GREAT. I wish they had a place like this when I was young, I took apart my sisters doll that did all kinds of crazy stuff and made a hand powered flashlight. it was not ground breaking but I did it myself messing around with things like this, then I got in trouble for taking it apart but if only I had a place like this. you guys are great!!!!!!
That is truly an amazing place!! It would be incredible to have access to something like that!
Is it weird that I'm tearing up from joy?!
Love how Adam looks at the lathe, see's the knob that clearly says "NO" on it and immediately attempts to touch it.
This is incredible. Is there anything like this in the UK near London? I'd buy a membership in a heartbeat!
Check machinesroom.co.uk/
I just learned about it recently...
London Hackspace (Hackney), South London Makerspace (Herne Hill). Probably going to sign up for Hackspace after I finish university
There's a place on blackhorseworkshop .co. uk/
Not that I live near London. Be great if there was one closer to me but heck, it'd 'be worth the drive. Breathing was basically intensifying for this entire video.
also try wiki.hackerspaces.org/Category:Country or fablab.io both have worldwide directories
I would literally live here if I could.
can i live with u there
that was probably the coolest idea for a shop space I could ever imagine.
I'm am so stoked to see this shop. I have a workshop for wood and a little bit of metal. It definitely makes me look forward learning how to weld :)
I once made my own mortise & tenon joints by hand for a little cherry table I made for an intro class. And it's something I don't want to do again anytime soon!
Now that techsop suddenly closed yesterday, we need more of these in the U.S. Bring one to the east bay s.f. bay area please!
This place is amazing! Adam thank you for showing this. Man I wish Maker Spaces like this excisted in the UK! If anyone knows of any please let me know!
That is very cool. Makes you want floor space and 3 phase tools.
This place is a hidden gem. I certainly could learn from a few people there.
This is what I want tested to be like. You could interview these guys for days. Imagine just following everybodies projects.
Very cool. It reminds me of when I went to Lane Community College- space, tools, and people making stuff. Good times...
What an incredible space. I so wish it was in my backyard.
I'm a member at this space and I can tell you that the place is awesome.
That was a treat! wish we had such a place where I live.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing! Inspired now...
What an amazing place! I wish I lived nearby!
That place is insanely awesome!!
This is awesome!
What an amazing concept!
Simply wow. Truly inspirational!
At one time I would have been able to contribute to this type of mastermind.
These days I'm glad to have a full paycheck and to have not died.
That being said, I am overly glad for Adam and Jamie. They both deserve great success.
This is all kinds of awesome, thanks Adam.
The *gasp* at the end when he was told they do outreach to bring a space like this to everyone.... My heart!
I love it. we have one an hour away. If you try to make something the size of a table the group has to vote on weather you can do it. There are so many empty shops in town that I wish I could start my own.
probably hundreds before me, but I love his approach: "Rule Zero: don't make me make a rule. We almost had to make a rule." I need to take that and run with it in my work!
I want something like this in Portland Oregon.
Wow this is awesome. I wish I had something like this where I live.
*Adam is clearly loving this place*
*and me also*
Amazing Place!!! So much inspiration
This is so awesome.. would love to start something like this in my country..
this is the first time i have ever felt like i need to move to the states, this is utterly beautiful
I would love to see you tour other maker spaces across the country.
This is such a good idea!!! I wish we had these here.
So down to earth. I love it!

It would actually be fun to CLEAN this shop. Imagine the things you would learn just by cleaning up after others. Inspiration!
EVERY CITY NEEDS ONE OF THESE
I just want to live there, its like a paradise!!!
👍😎 Really cool space, Adam had to be like a kid in a candy store. I would have liked to see more of that woodworking shop in the opening.
We're sad to be losing Derek at the Asylum... he's just as personable, funny and engaged as he appears here. We've been lucky to have him.
