The first thing I noticed was the box labeled NASA and after that I could not pay any attention to the video as I was distracted wondering "WHAT's IN THAT BOX?!"
I don't know who is more awesome: Nate for sending the stuff to Adam or Adam for appreciating this so much he dedicates a whole video to this. I actually wonder if it is a good thing I found this video so … … touching!
"Ah... I can dill sideways through that thing!" I laughed out loud because I know people in my industry that are so good at what they do, they make the rest of us look like amatures.
A number of years ago I heard a related story about tiny screws. A US company had been buying small screws for their product from Switcherland. When their production needs increased they decided to invest into capabilities of making those small screws themselves. When they had the machine and developed some skills, they sent a sample of their new smallest screw (something like a 00 size) to the source of their previous screws. After a week or two they got their screw back from Switcherland -- drilled and tapped ACROSS the threaded part. Talk about a slap to their pride! The guy who told this story had been a toolmaker before joining our company.
There is something most don't ever see. Thanks Nate for supplying and Adam for showing us. Can't even imagine how any of those parts are manufactured. And the price of those items must be out of whack with what we think of something usually compared to size. No wonder mechanical watches cost so much.
Adam has enough hand injuries without adding another sharp object while his eyes are looking down the scope (unless he owns the special zip tie snipping tool which cuts below the surface). 🤔
Adam needs to make a display case for that gear and screws!!! It should have a bunch of magnified glass pieces that incrementally zoom in / get closer and closer. It would so cool cause you could put the display on the side and really get a grasp of how small the gear truly is, with the number of magnified glasses required to zoom in that small. Plus those gear teeth are a master piece and need to be shown off.
Adam, I absolutely adore seeing the inner child in you come out when you are looking at these screws and the gear. Your passion shines through and its inspiring. Thank you for sharing your heart with the world.
The sheer amount and breadth of video coming from Adam has been one of the best things to come out of lockdown. Thank you, Adam, your videos are hugely enjoyable and I appreciate them immensely.
Adam....you're a legend. Love your enthusiasm, knowledge and keenness to explore new ideas. Irish mech engineer here. Also...I hope you're coping with Grants untimely passing as best you possibly can. RIP Grant
Impressive! I had no idea they even made anything that small... so now I wonder what else I'm missing out on... Nate, Adam: Thank you for sharing these very tiny things
I find it interesting that some people take the time to give a thumbs down on a delightful and enlightening Adam Savage video, for no other reason than to spread their infectious negativity. It's sad that they can only feel gratified by raise themselves up on the act of pulling another down.
@@crashoverride93637 well that would be premature and unjust to form an opinion with no facts to base them on. Social media tends to follow a mob mentality pulling out pitchforks and torches with only self righteous indignation and ignorance as its catalyst. If nothing else Johnny Depp should serve as a reason to excercise caution when judging others.
I just had thoughts of the 1966 movie Fantastic Voyage ! the Ultra tiny experience from Nate was a great experience !! Thank you so much to Nate and Adam for sharing !!
Fantastic tiny pieces, I'll not dispute, but ARGH tiny boxes in tiny boxes!!! Containers are one of my absolute favourite things, and I can swear I have something very similar _somewhere_ - like a bunch of other things... Thanks for sharing these glimpses into the rarely visited corners of your world. I, and I'm sure many, many others are eternally grateful.
I used to use an refrigerator egg holder to keep the screws and parts while repairing camcorders. Or other units a whole lot of tiny parts. Each egg compartment would label where on the unit the part was taken. The curved bottom made it easy to pull one tiny screw out. Everything went back where it came from. Every time.
Hey, Adam, been watching Tested along time and I have to say you are an inspiration to people! I watched you a time ago, when you were on Mythbusters and I loved you on that show as well! You make me feel like I can build things and I've always wanted to be an inventor of some sort! Have my own business and create things, you create things marvelously! Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and creating builds that put forth effort yes, but always make the blueprints for people to follow! Stay safe, Adam!
that engineering is beautiful, and I do mean that literally, there is something about precisely engineered machines that beyond being functional, I find very beautiful.
I keep and use my old round bite sinker dispensers with tape over the opening that we all use for fishing. I also use round clear screw cap jewelry cases too but I glued them all together lids to bottoms making 4 -12 inch long rod cases.
I can't wait to see the birch ply box you make for this pair of wonders. More than that, the hinge and screw hardware. Kidding aside, it's great to see viewer's gifts and their generosity to show you stuff most of us would likely never see. It's good to be King, eh ?😃👍
Absolutely one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. If you didn't share this on your channel I would never have really seen the crazy reality of engineering. Amazing
Hi Adam, just want to give a shout out to how much I appreciate your videos. I love these little tidbits that might be a little light for some huge full production, but together convey a lifetime of neat little snippets of knowledge.
The watch gear was amazing! Such beautiful engineering and a space age manufacturing technique. On par with anything seen at Baselworld. Thanks so much for sharing!
This type of tiny is why the watchmaker tweezers need to be super precise, sharpened constantly, and why they are so expensive, and why stuff like Rodico™ is so useful
Adam. Please do a show and tell on what notebook you use and how you organise and catalog your notes! I want to get more organised and start using my notebook/journal!
Great video as always. The anti-backlash gear featured in most vintage tube radios. It ensured that as you changed the tuning condenser knob from one direction to the other, the dial pointer moved immediately.
Thanks. 20+ years ago I saw a magazine cover showing a tiny gear slipped over a human hair. And I have trouble using a 1/16 drill bit just wows me. So awesome how technology advances.
So cool Adam, those are so cool, thanks for sharing. Wow, I love that, I love storing things in a specific order. Oh my word, those screws are so tiny, ahhhhhhhh, so COOOL, love watch making things but my fingers are to clumsy for that
you're doing an awesome job on the videos adam, keep it up :) and that small gear is amazing, as well as the screws, but seriously that gear is crazy. like he said they'res no way we would have been able to build that in any other era but this one. technology is truly amazing nowadays.

Does Adam know about Matthias Wandel's Gear Generator program? It's on his website.

Here's the box explanation. He made the box himself to storage his microscope.
@@Rodyen1404 Great vid that one
@@Rodyen1404 Thanks!
First I was like "That just looks like any cogwheel", then the closeup came with the springs, omg, that was fantastic!
I first saw the spokes & thought of a bicycle wheel. Then I saw the close up of the teeth, & WOW!
I was thinking it looked very sharp and thought the backlash would be terrible. But....
I'm even amazed at it all
Nate should have just sent him an empty case.
“They’re in there somewhere Adam, I swear!”
Omg yes
@NP CHE allegedly... big difference

HAHA yes that's exactly what I was thinking when he said "I can't see anything", that would have been so funny to be trolled by a fan.
Adam got so excited about the micro parts that he forgot to get close-ups of the sorters
By "micro parts" do you mean those he had when he was masquerading as "The Raping Blob"?
What a cool guy to send these neat things
I know Nate, can confirm; He's a great guy!
I don't know who is more awesome: Nate for sending the stuff to Adam or Adam for appreciating this so much he dedicates a whole video to this. I actually wonder if it is a good thing I found this video so … … touching!
6:11 - that 2019 penny gives a good cents of scale.
I don't know whether to cheer that or jeer that!
you've really coined a good pun there
@@incrediblefrown1288 Thanks. Thought I'd change it up a bit.
Haha, I always appreciate a good pun. Good one and have a nice day :)

How cool would it be to send something to Adam and have him be flabbergasted in joy at what was sent.
That's amazing, and that gear was genuinely beautiful
Imagine trying to sell those screws on Amazon. "0 stars. Seller sent me an empty plastic bag!"
And Amazon puts it in a box the size of your body
@@tim.e.l SERIOUSLY sent me a ring once in a box fit for a microwave oven. TF?
I like how Adam holds burp like 30% of the video!

✂️ Anyone still feel like clipping the end of that zip tie on the microscope ??? 🔬
Thank You! Yes! that bothered me way too much.
Mind you, I wouldn't put it past Adam to do it on purpose to troll us as well.
Adam has enough hand injuries without adding another sharp object while his eyes are looking down the scope (unless he owns the special zip tie snipping tool which cuts below the surface). 🤔
I'm more worried if he ever put that gasket back in. I need closure dammit!
@@philscott7949 I would bet that he has a zip tie gun, considering all the other stuff that he has.
or route the god dam optics cable through the friggin Pipe, would be much cleaner and no ziptie needed

Check out nano gears or "MEMS"
Seeing the tiny screws is fascinating and then you think about the machines that produce the screws.
Bloody remarkable. The last word is .... Adam don't you dare loose those! Those are like collector peices.
I love these shorter videos alongside the longer builds. Great snippets and tidbits of the shop. The little gear was so interesting!
That gear made my jaw drop and get a little teary eyed. That is amazing.
The fact screws this small exist is crazy but whats even more crazy is that we have machines that are able to create screws this small...mental!
I find it interesting that some people take the time to give a thumbs down on a delightful and enlightening Adam Savage video, for no other reason than to spread their infectious negativity. It's sad that they can only feel gratified by raise themselves up on the act of pulling another down.
It might be from the new allegations he raped his sister

@@sophie5582 too bad adam doesn't do that.
I just had thoughts of the 1966 movie Fantastic Voyage ! the Ultra tiny experience from Nate was a great experience !! Thank you so much to Nate and Adam for sharing !!
What's fun are the machines that make and deburr those tiny screws.
Does anyone else really wanna see the machines and equipment that's used to manufacture parts this small?
I'm guessing the "search party" method for finding one of those screws if dropped won't work...
Gotta call Ant-man for those.
given how small those screws are I'm sure they'd just stick the ground and get lodged
Magnets, my son, magnets.
Paul Lockton if you dropped one of these then just say screw it (pun intended) and grab another.
@@jeric_synergy8581 but how would you even know if your magnet grabbed anything?
That is the cleanest mill I've seen in my life
you're not all alone you have 139,327 watching you. amazing content thank you.
Adam your enthusiasm for learning new things and exploring new worlds is magnetic and makes every video a joy to watch. Thank you.
Yes! The small square sorting case is pretty much what piercers use to store their jewelry too!
that was awesome. the education was as much of a wonderful gift as the box sorters. amazing
Fantastic tiny pieces, I'll not dispute, but ARGH tiny boxes in tiny boxes!!! Containers are one of my absolute favourite things, and I can swear I have something very similar _somewhere_ - like a bunch of other things...
Thanks for sharing these glimpses into the rarely visited corners of your world. I, and I'm sure many, many others are eternally grateful.
It's not often you see Adam truly humbled. And he does it well.
The event greater thing about people sending you stuff is that you then show it to us!

Each egg compartment would label where on the unit the part was taken. The curved bottom made it easy to pull one tiny screw out. Everything went back where it came from. Every time.
Fabulous examples of amazing technology. Thank you and your generous viewer.
The tiny screws that make things so much better!!!; )
Adam is so cool... he notices every thing.... and appreciates it. I am watching this with so much interest.
Adam, every time I watch you I am never let down.
The Wonderful thing about this is that it was 🚧 construsted by nate and the human nature of our brains .... OORAH!!
You are definitely not alone. Thank you for entertaining and educating through all of this. Your live sessions have so helpful.
If we ever do get to travel without Covid being a thing, I think Tested should visit Nate and explore the world of watchmaking. It's an art form!
That was fun! Thank you Nate and Adam
Hey, Adam, been watching Tested along time and I have to say you are an inspiration to people! I watched you a time ago, when you were on Mythbusters and I loved you on that show as well!

Sorry Adam, I'm going to need a banana for scale.
Are you a 9gager ?
I want to like your comment, but it would be the 70th. Sorry
Bananas are regularly used at Imgur for scales. I'd like to see a ruler against the screws.
that engineering is beautiful, and I do mean that literally, there is something about precisely engineered machines that beyond being functional, I find very beautiful.

Wow! Thanks to Nate! What a fascinating segment!
Nate..... thank you for sharing that with Adam, who in turn shared with us! Awesome stuff
Love seeing these videos all the time with Adam! Keep em going!!
Yay! We finally get to see the 'tiny screws'....
It's the little things that makes us happy.
I can't wait to see the birch ply box you make for this pair of wonders. More than that, the hinge and screw hardware. Kidding aside, it's great to see viewer's gifts and their generosity to show you stuff most of us would likely never see.

Adam. Please do a show and tell on what notebook you use and how you organise and catalog your notes! I want to get more organised and start using my notebook/journal!
Literally the most eye opening show and tell. Very very cool and educational.
There are fibres in paper that are the same length... that's... Amazing! I'm now trying to imagine the production process that makes these screws.
THAT is impressive and WAY cool! The possibilities and processes boggles the mind.
It's truly inspiring to see such amazing and dare I say beautiful engineering on such a small level.
That's incredible! Thank you Nate
How does it get even more complex the tinier it gets? Beautiful craftsmanship 🙌🏽👏🏽
As a watchmaker, this video pleases me. Adam always seems like a person who'd be into watchmaking
Thanks for showing us that Adam. That gear was awesome!
I'm so amazed by those tiny screws!
Great video as always. The anti-backlash gear featured in most vintage tube radios. It ensured that as you changed the tuning condenser knob from one direction to the other, the dial pointer moved immediately.
