I love the answer to the "wanting a drawing and told to do it" thing. With freedom comes too much possibility. "Make this thing" is a question that demands you come up with an answer, in a timely manner.
Adam, you are a national treasure. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Your videos make me feel like everyone is your friend. Thanks for being awesome.
I did house remodel with torx head screws. It was fine. Mostly to run construction screws for framing with impact gun. I forgot why I moved to them over Phillips... So I had this simple project to hang a lamp - I had Phillips head screws laying around - "hey, let's use it, what could go wrong". And now I remember why I hate them ;) they are evil! I drive 3/4 of a 2in screw and it wear out so much that I couldn't finish the job. So I switched to torx and finished the job with no hassle... I know... Probably screws wasn't meant to use it in this scenario, but then... Why bother? Phillips are good for plastic, nothing else imho.
The line about “Have you ever wanted to just... -get a drawing from someone and just build it?” Omgosh yes! The most satisfying artistic project I ever did was just that: building a scale model from nothing but a sketch. I not only did it great justice, according to the sketch artist who drew it (Jes Goodwin) but I won an award. It’s so great.
THEdanru if you google image search for Jes Goodwin’s Leonatos, it’ll be the first result. Look through Jes Goodwin’s original sketch work for Bloodquest, and see that I created a 3D color sculpture from a 2D grayscale sketch because it was an awesome drawing and it deserved to be realized.
2:40 this is EXACTLY what I do we I can't pin down what I like about a specific thing. Dump raw images to a folder, then examine them when I have enough to start noticing similar themetic elements
Hey Adam, if you can get one, a surface ground piece of 12" round stock makes tramming a breeze since you can make full sweeps with the indicator and the tip won't drop into the t-slots.
The satisfaction you get from creating and building is almost identical for me as a software developer. Even the once-in-a-while short term build instructions do feel weirdly similar. Many of my colleagues don't recognize this. I really feel and have the urge to be a creator, regardless what material it is I use.
I would love to see a video of you looking back at all the slides of your past projects. Like a movie night of sorts. We can all watch on as you reminisce on your past projects and your memories of them.
Paused the vid to go watch Heist. Remembered that I had seen it a while back on the recommendation of someone else. Watched it again. Great movie! Thanks for the reminder!
You're absolutely right that the first question about a touring show is how many trucks. The second question is how much weight they will be hanging. For a theatre with a fly rail, that is usually spoken of as how much arbor weight will be needed to fly your gear. In an Arena or another situation without a fly rail, it will just be how many thousands of pounds will hang from chain motors. And the third thing in both situations is how many rigging points are needed for the entire show, aside from the hangs on any fly rail. In a theatre, these might be points for the Speaker hangs, lighting truss, larger scenic elements, and off stage storage positions. In an Arena, it's how everything goes up higher than the stage. Rigging a single point essentially takes X amount of time. Some might be a little faster, some might be a little slower, but they won't vary a lot in a particular venue. The reason the number of points is important is that they almost all have to be done before most of the other significant work can begin, so if it gets delayed for any reason, that could be a very big problem.
I was one of the local security crew for that U2 show you mentioned. I think it was 86 trucks, but they also had to rent some cranes. Stadium shows run on a much bigger scale though, there isn't the upper limit that an arena or concert hall has, obviously.
I'm sitting here, assembling the first order I've had in _weeks._ I've been filling the time with basic design work, but man... sure feels good to get back to basics and make a thing on a deadline!
@@Corbald Enjoy then! ... like I do additional babysitting(for a nurse who has been paying me to cover the time between daycare closure and getting home from 12h shifts for 18 months now) (uni has send a reading list and digital class access, so I have been combing it before classes were scheduled to start to begin with).
@@Corbald It's enjoyable and what I would do if I lived without monetary incentives... charging people for childcare (provided where they grew up) is the most difficult part (1/4 of the money earned while I am around has been my highest ratio (if classes are rescheduled I might qualify for more than 20% refunds/setting longer hours than currently legal)).
I enjoy your videos. I was a "Local Roadie" for many concerts at the University of South Florida and led to working at the Florida State Fair Grounds. But it was back in the early 80s while in College. Usually no more than a handful of trucks. Kenny Rogers was big because he brought in all his own steel to have a stage in the round and could hang all his sound and lighting from his own setup. Elton John had a bit as well. Rod Stewart had these runway wings that went off the ends of the stage so he could run out on them. Ozzie had an entire metal background with a fake drape that looked like a library with a staircase. His drummer was at the top of the stairs. In the middle of the concert we had separate the stair case so his drummer's platform could come down the rails like he was decending down the stairs. with a winch system. Then he went back up and we pushed the stairs back together. It was hard work and you had to listen to those roadies or the doors would not shut on those trucks.
Not I, the tools are in the wrong places, the materials I would use most are in hard to reach places... it would be an organizational nightmare for me. However I would kill for access to most of the tools and materials he has at hand. I just prefer much more open spaces to work in than that.

Thank you for actually calling a Robertson screw a Robertson screw, so many times I hear Americans calling them square drive and giving no credit to the Canadian who invented them. As a Canadian I thank you.
Robertson screws suck they strip super easy, and once they strip they are wrecked, at least with Philips it will usually just cam out the screwdriver or drill and give you some warning. once a Robertson goes(strips) its game over.
Labels to future self are really useful - there is one inside one of our light fittings to remind me that I need a bayonet light bulb rather than a screw in one
23:19 I love questions like these. Why not replace all Phillips screws with "torque" whatever that is. Why not adopt an improvement on previous technology right away? The answer to this is "Qwerty." Take a look at your keyboard. I won't bore you with a history lesson but long ago there were manual keyboards and there were reasons for the current layout and a generation or so of multiple industries got used to that layout. They COULD change to what MIGHT be a more efficient system but "Qwerty" served their needs at the time so nobody bothered to change. And that's why Phillips screws will be with us for awhile yet. It would have to be more cost effective to go with something else, or something about Phillips screws would have to be proven in hindsight to be SO BAD for some reason that makes a newer technology more appealing. Why can't we all just switch to air and solar power yesterday? We have the technology, but we don't have the will. The desire to change that much for what doesn't necessarily promise to be a noticeable improvement. Too many are comfortable with using fossil fuels, even tho there is evidence it's making the world a worse place for our children and our grand children. The bottom line is less than three months away. What's gonna save us money this quarter? What's Qwerty now will win over what might be better in the future every time, until the numbers show Qwerty is worse than progress. As Adam himself will tell you, for all our technology, nothing beats a hammer. The hammer is here to stay. Different makes and models and designs will come and go but the basic idea is sound and solid and it works. Same with screws and screwdrivers. At least for the foreseeable future.
I very much enjoy these Adam as a machinist, Interesting to hear all the little things you do and different industries without all the added things. Your crew does a great job making videos but sometimes its nice to have a simple layout. Just Adam and a camera.
Do you really not have Robertson screws in the USA? Here in Canada, that's pretty much all I use for all of my projects. As Tony the Tiger puts it, "They're Grrrreeaattt!"
Professor Philip Brainard is my favorite movie maker. Come on Adam, don't tell me you don't remember. An absent minded professor, inventor of crazy substances and robots. Flubber
Hey Adam, I'm a touring video engineer and I can tell you that, while being the most important metric, the number of trucks is not the only number that matters. A few other important ones are power requirements and number of rigging points (as well as their weight and location). I love your streams and its nice to get to see this side of you after seeing your TV side for 20 years or so....Keep it Up!
About plan B: Recently there was 'revision 2020 online' which went through plan A,B,C and D to get the online version of the party going. I was unfortunately not able to find where they talk about it in the twitch streams. But as COVID19 progressed, the plans adapted.
Adam - will your next stage show be coming to the UK? I know it's probably early days to tell but do you intend to aim for a UK visit? I was bummmmmmed when BC live was cancelled.
have you considered making a spaceship prop about 3 to 4 foot long of your own design ? im thinking one that big you could have the doors and windows that open to be showing inside rooms and other details..? I think you could awesome job of it! and have a ton of fun doing it.. just a thought....
I bet not very often. He seems to like to build things the old fashioned way as much as he can. He seems like the type to cast or just buy a milled piece off the internet.
In the world of props 3d printing is largely not used on projects. If you can give a modeller a block of polystyrene and a sketch, they can carve it in 30mins or less. You can then coat it and paint it or add finishes fairy quickly after that. If you want that on a 3d printer, you first have to take that sketch into CAD which could take many hours for complex geometries, then print it which may take an hour depending on the layer height and size. Then you have to finish usually through sanding and priming or apoxy coating that takes many hours to dry.........its not a technology that works in the industry where you may have less that a day to turn around a project.
He isn't even using his laser cutter frequently. 3d printing is most suitable for people without physical craft skills to manifest their wishes (and replacing artificial week points or otherwise existant parts).
Hi there, quite a while ago you were talking about maybe reading and discussing the Book series „Kingkiller Chronicles“ on the Still Untitled podcast. I would love to hear all your thought about those books. Also with the current Situation you should have some time and its a great Book to forget the World for a while. :) Since you'll probably not read every comment I decided to go for Cato the Elders Tactic (who ended all his speeches with „Ceterum censeo or Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam“ (English: "Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed")) and adding „Furthermore, I consider you all should read the Kingkiller Chronicles and Discuss it on the Podcast“ to every post from now on. And I highly encourage everyone else to do so, too. ;)
Hi Adam, First, Thank You! I enjoy your videos Very Much. They have been a much needed diversion while caring for my Wife. She came down with spinal meningitis on 3/27 and had 3 seizures. She is now back home and well on her way to being her usual self. RUclips in general and Your videos in particular helped keep me sane while she was in the hospital and I was unable to be with her. Again, I Thank You! Now my comment, At 23:33 the question why "Phillips over Torx?" Adam, you say two Phillips handle 95% of you needs. In the days when Phillips ruled the automotive world yes, I found that to be true as well. I too was reluctant, for years, but as a Volvo & Toyota/Lexus mechanic, I was forced into buying my own Torx driver set to do my job. ( If you have to borrow more than twice, it's time to buy your own.) Since then I have found that, like Phillips, only two Torx, #25 & #27 fill 95% of my needs and to my surprise I Prefer Torx! When used correctly they don't 'cam out' so no damaged hardware or door cards or dash components. So I encourage you to make the change. Keep Phillips too, they have their place just as slotted screws and square nuts do! Stay safe, GrayRaceCat
Spartan!!! Yes!!! Heist is the one with the sailboat at the end. Great flick as well! I have more in common with Adam than I ever knew. Adam, how many square feet do you have in the cave?
What would you say works for you at getting good you tube views? Do you think its due to your fame or things you do within your videos or how you upload it? I have been on youtube for a short time really but struggle to get views and wonder if you have any pointers...
So, I'm gonna plug a book that is in my opinion very relevant to this video. The name of the book is "the Artisan Soul" by Erwin R. McManus. If you happen to read this Adam Erwin is a pastor at a church in Hollywood named Mosaic (as in an image created from broken pieces)
The greatest maker in recent movie time imo is the Chinese scientist maker in the OG Bladerunner film that makes genetically modified eyes. Close second Anikan Skywalker ?
"Who's your favorite maker from the movies" - now that's a kind of question i can get behind. I have no doubt almost everyone watching this had someone in mind. I'd love to hear who they were :)
Mine is Old Man Kaseki from the Anime - DR Stone. if anyone's curious :) he actually reminds me a lot of Adam. xD (mind you Adam is about a decade or two younger, but still)
It's really difficult to understand the small dimensions you say. I am always losing a couple seconds of track while I do the math. Metric system is so much simple 😂
Re: contingency I have... SO many "irrational" contingencies in mind. I even have a plan on how to make a fully functional bird-style foot should I ever need a prosthesis... out of scrap in my shop. Because reasons.
You should make a stream cart so you can free up your phone. Make a computer with some capture cards and a couple of camera's on arms that you can swap between mount it all to cart you can move around with you :)
Hey Adam. I was a little disappointed as I really wanted to see more of the Ecto 1 build on the 14th. Will you be doing more of the Ecto 1 on the 21st, or will it be more of anohter Q&A?
Heist is a great Gene Hackman film. Hackman is pretty much the same person in almost everything he's in, but he's always believable as that character to the point you expect people to walk up to him and ask "you know, you look like Gene Hackman", "yeah, I get that a lot!" There's no Gene Hackman in a Gene Hackman movie world!
Many of the people calling to end it early are the rich wanting to recover their investments. Furthermore, this is one of the mindsets that the financial help books warn us poor folks about. We don't tend to see that buying in bulk is worth pinching in the short term. We aren't wired to see that this method will save us health and money in the long run.
I am neither but feel very blessed to live outside the USA, ever since I sat on a plane with a woman fretting and we got to talk about health (insurance) pricing. Stay home, stay safe and apply for a additional citizenship?
I'm certainly not rich or going around making money but yes, in this type of pandemic staying at home is the best practice. Sacrifice for the greater good. If your poor your sacrifice is likely to be greater but such is life.
SleepFaster18 that’s not true at all. You’re just repeating the main stream media’s rhetoric. People calling to end the lock down are normal people who are healthy that want to get back to work. Ok we’ve locked down for this long. Now it’s time to open back up and allow the elderly and the sick to keep locked down. But no, it’s not because rich people want to recoup am their money. I need to go back to work. I need to start making money again. $1200 is not enough for this entire lockdown.

You're absolutely right that the first question about a touring show is how many trucks. The second question is how much weight they will be hanging. For a theatre with a fly rail, that is usually spoken of as how much arbor weight will be needed to fly your gear. In an Arena or another situation without a fly rail, it will just be how many thousands of pounds will hang from chain motors. And the third thing in both situations is how many rigging points are needed for the entire show, aside from the hangs on any fly rail. In a theatre, these might be points for the Speaker hangs, lighting truss, larger scenic elements, and off stage storage positions. In an Arena, it's how everything goes up higher than the stage. Rigging a single point essentially takes X amount of time. Some might be a little faster, some might be a little slower, but they won't vary a lot in a particular venue. The reason the number of points is important is that they almost all have to be done before most of the other significant work can begin, so if it gets delayed for any reason, that could be a very big problem.

( If you have to borrow more than twice, it's time to buy your own.) Since then I have found that, like Phillips, only two Torx, #25 & #27 fill 95% of my needs and to my surprise I Prefer Torx! When used correctly they don't 'cam out' so no damaged hardware or door cards or dash components. So I encourage you to make the change. Keep Phillips too, they have their place just as slotted screws and square nuts do!

Spartan!!! Yes!!! Heist is the one with the sailboat at the end. Great flick as well! I have more in common with Adam than I ever knew. Adam, how many square feet do you have in the cave?
So are the live streams still happening? Or are they just no longer uploaded?
If I'm to be self quarantine, I'll be happy to be in Adam's workshop. I will build so many Goldberg machine, just because.
What would you say works for you at getting good you tube views? Do you think its due to your fame or things you do within your videos or how you upload it? I have been on youtube for a short time really but struggle to get views and wonder if you have any pointers...
"What's the difference between the robertson and square drive video" please
Yay Robertson drive!

So, I'm gonna plug a book that is in my opinion very relevant to this video. The name of the book is "the Artisan Soul" by Erwin R. McManus. If you happen to read this Adam Erwin is a pastor at a church in Hollywood named Mosaic (as in an image created from broken pieces)
hallo from danmark mr adam do you use 3d printer to make models ?
The greatest maker in recent movie time imo is the Chinese scientist maker in the OG Bladerunner film that makes genetically modified eyes. Close second Anikan Skywalker ?
We are more capable than we think, if we let ourselves.
I somehow want to see a picture of Adam and his first construction that he documented at age 18..
Heist is really cool! I loved it. The only movie genre I like even more than those with clever Gangsters is movies with mad scientists.
As a Canadian I wish I could send you a Robertson and a ton of screws
i would love to work with this man.
"Who's your favorite maker from the movies" - now that's a kind of question i can get behind. I have no doubt almost everyone watching this had someone in mind.
I'd love to hear who they were :)
Mine is Old Man Kaseki from the Anime - DR Stone. if anyone's curious :) he actually reminds me a lot of Adam. xD (mind you Adam is about a decade or two younger, but still)
Discord is too confusing to use..........I want to know how to straighten out wood for model building.
I just watched Heist, thank you Adam.
It's really difficult to understand the small dimensions you say. I am always losing a couple seconds of track while I do the math. Metric system is so much simple 😂
Apparently the U2 360° tour used 180 trucks. Good -lord-.
So another comment on favorite "makers" in film or stories. For me it would be Geppetto from Pinocchio
Re: contingency
I have... SO many "irrational" contingencies in mind. I even have a plan on how to make a fully functional bird-style foot should I ever need a prosthesis... out of scrap in my shop. Because reasons.
For movie makers, probably the toy smith from toy story 2.
You should make a stream cart so you can free up your phone. Make a computer with some capture cards and a couple of camera's on arms that you can swap between mount it all to cart you can move around with you :)
Favourite Heist quote, "...she could talk her way out of a sunburn."
Dave Davies “I never tie my shoes without a backup plan.” I quote this constantly.
love you dude
Hi Adam, really like your videos. My question for you: would you like to be an inventor?
Put a cracker on fire... And you have a firecracker 😅💯
Bridge still works better than anything else. If you’re using Photoshop the interface is seamless
Gepetto is my favourite fictional maker.
Hey Adam. I was a little disappointed as I really wanted to see more of the Ecto 1 build on the 14th. Will you be doing more of the Ecto 1 on the 21st, or will it be more of anohter Q&A?
24:00 typical legacy situation.
I love you. You're amazing.
Heist is a great Gene Hackman film. Hackman is pretty much the same person in almost everything he's in, but he's always believable as that character to the point you expect people to walk up to him and ask "you know, you look like Gene Hackman", "yeah, I get that a lot!" There's no Gene Hackman in a Gene Hackman movie world!
Do you have a hollow chisel mortiser in your shop? Like an Oliver No.91 as an example. They're spectacular!
28:40 I’ve never heard Adam say “methodology” and not mean “method”.
The maker question, I went straight to "Q", from bond.
I would like to ask
if the ecto 1 can be or is compatible for rc conversation
It’s funny to me that the people always saying stay in doors and home are either rich or are able to go where they want and still make money
*Stay home as much as you can*
But yeah, fuck rich people and their fucking mansions. I'm just not ready to put Adam in the same bag.

Many of the people calling to end it early are the rich wanting to recover their investments. Furthermore, this is one of the mindsets that the financial help books warn us poor folks about. We don't tend to see that buying in bulk is worth pinching in the short term. We aren't wired to see that this method will save us health and money in the long run.
I am neither but feel very blessed to live outside the USA, ever since I sat on a plane with a woman fretting and we got to talk about health (insurance) pricing.
Stay home, stay safe and apply for a additional citizenship?
I'm certainly not rich or going around making money but yes, in this type of pandemic staying at home is the best practice. Sacrifice for the greater good. If your poor your sacrifice is likely to be greater but such is life.
SleepFaster18 that’s not true at all. You’re just repeating the main stream media’s rhetoric. People calling to end the lock down are normal people who are healthy that want to get back to work. Ok we’ve locked down for this long. Now it’s time to open back up and allow the elderly and the sick to keep locked down. But no, it’s not because rich people want to recoup am their money. I need to go back to work. I need to start making money again. $1200 is not enough for this entire lockdown.
Dang so many ads.
Adam you always say that the best material for beginners is cardboard, can you do one day build with cardboard as your material?
After watching the whole video, Adam make cardboard armor!!!
*I STILL HAVE MY BRAINCANDY PING PONG BALL!!!*
YAY!
Where's robocops gun
I , like you are very energetic. I get drug tested often when getting with a new company until they get to know me. You?
I know your answer, but, "Do you miss MYTHBUSTERS" & working with the team?
Is there a "POSSIBILITY" that MYTHBUSTERS my reload with more safety conserns? (BOWLING BALL INCIDENT)
Take care,
