Adam Savage is also a little obsessed with Adam Savage. I’ve noticed that he is very quick to snatch away opportunities for other people to speak when their turn finally comes along. His ego is unfortunately as big as his talent.
@@johnmoyle4195 I'd hate to be slowed down by this norm dude. A lot of people seem to like his input but why can't we just watch the master? I don't know what you mean about him snatching others opportunities to talk but if he did, who cares? He's an awesome designer and craftsman.
In the first three minutes, Adam TWICE interrupts Norm when he is presenting information as context, first about the snubnose kit, second about the different grips. Adam just stops Norm and takes over. If you watch other videos in which he and Norm "collaborate" you will notice that he always does this. Adam IS talented, but that isn't relevant to my criticism of his manners. Jamie Hyneman gave Adam (an employee) a unique opportunity in 2003, to be a co-presenter on the Mythbusters show. Jamie knew that he didn't have the personality to make the show a success so he brought Adam into the project. When they worked on that show, they were equals in front of the camera. Norm isn't as experienced and compared to Adam, he might be a little dull. However, he deserves the respect of being able to finish what he wanted to say, especially considering that Adam will be doing most of the talking during the rest of the video. Norm could be a much better presenter if Adam could learn to take a step back occasionally. I believe that there is a cultural difference here though. In my country, American visitors often annoy us with their social manners. They present themselves as very loud, opinionated and arrogant. We value restraint, the ability to step back from time to time and let others speak.
This video has a really cool master and apprentice feel to it, almost like he's teaching norm the finer points of the craft just as much as he's showing the audience the build. Its just a cool atmosphere and relationship between the two of them there.
When you spoke of the memory of your father, it really reminded me of how I missed out. My dad was an absentee, and we did nothing like this together. I am just glad me and my son is spending tonnes of time together so he can say, "My father would.." Awesome video Adam.
I like Norm's color scheme much more but I've got to say Adam did an amazing job making his look like realistic metal. Based on a picture alone I would've never doubted that. The black wash really does a lot to sell it.
Adam, I've worked in the metal industry and we'd regularly use spirits to help with cutting or sanding aluminum. It evaporates quickly and leaves no risk of rust.
This has to be the best-edited episodes of a One Day Build!!! The soundtrack selection works so well with the theme of the build, the blending of clips that segway into one another and the pace of the build process is engaging from start to finish, the list goes on. Pure gold. Love your work Tested.
Would like to thanks Adam for coming to a you tube channel and just record his sessions in the work shop so talented as a presenter and 'craftsman'. love these one day builds thanks Tested!
Reminds me when your building like a deck or a shed with the family, and you give the like 12 year old kid the very importabt task of sanding the logos off the lumber
"The polishing wheels singular desire in life is to hurl the part you've just spent an hour getting ready to polish, all the way across the shop into the bin of other crap that looks like your part, and you'll never find it."
Personally I prefer it when norm actually does things and helps rather than standing around talking. It adds to it rather than taking away from the quality of the video. Like to see more like this in the future
2 years after the fact, I get to watch this 1-day build. Many folks will be unable to put their finger on specific items in the video, but you'll still clearly be able to experience or "feel" the storytelling that's being done in this video, and all by a person that never appeared on the screen. Mad Props to the #editors! Job well done.
This video was actually great. If anyone is confused or intimidated by a project of this standard, Adam literally teaches Norm. Norm is the *everyman* of Tested.
Seconded! Great to see Norm really making something with tools - he couldn't wish for a better teacher (and he knows enough already to be able to apply the advice). And we get in-depth weathering tips from Adam; a promising chrome paint technique; two great-looking Blade Runner prop projects in detail; even some pretty cool music...an hour long! I think this is one of the channel's most satisfying videos ever. I hope there are a lot more like this.
Disney Dan i really need more creative again i mean all i did was make a house weapon,so i called it a "katon" like baton but more fast and efficient and its not able to slice through
27:18 I can totally relate. As a shop teacher, very little brings me more joy than when my students drop the I-want-this-to-be-done-yesterday attitude and embrace the joy of finish work like sanding, polishing and going for stain and varnish instead of acrylic paint.
I just love Adam Savage, his different projects and TV work. He approaches everything with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm; One day builds, myth busters. They’re the thing of childhood wonder and fantasy and make me happy to watch.
lol, truth be told, I'd shave it all off if I was him. Once your hairline has receded that much, there's no hope of having any hair style anymore, as you're just entering actual official old age.
It is truly an honor to be able to see a master builder at work and to gleam years of acquired knowledge in a single hour. I have so many future projects which will harness this awesome information. Thanks Adam...
I've got a bunch of tools from my dad that are Starrett. He used to work with electric motors and the like. Some of my best memories are just playing with those tools, having no idea what they actually did. These days some of my best memories are playing with those tools...having every idea what they do and being thankful that he encouraged me to both do hands on skills/trades as well as theory/computer science type things.
Adam is like that one uncle you have that's REALLY into certain things and is SO super hype when you wanna know about how those things work. Be it cars, guitars, woodworking, whatever.
I'm nodding along with Adam's explanation of the polishing wheel's singular desire in life. Yes, that is exactly what it wants to do! And it takes great sadistic pleasure in doing so!
This Video has somehow become my favourite movie. If I have had a bad day or I have a little bit of a creative blockage in the brain tubes this is where I come. 11/10, watch it easily twice a week
A stunning pair of builds. While Adam's has the edge on finess (obviously), Norm's is right up there. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. I know these 'day' builds are taxing, but these are what I come back for
Saw a few questions about why the Blaster has two triggers, despite only having one barrel. As someone who has a fair amount of experience with firearms and love "hard scifi", my favorite post-rationalised explanation is actually realized in a VR game H3VR, and it's as follows: The gun is basically a revolver that holds 6 rounds, the "magazine" in front of the trigger guard is a battery compartment, seen with a battery already inserted with two glowing lights, and on top, there is a bolt action element that works on ejecting a replaceable heatsink. Trigger A fires the bullets in normal fashion, like any other gun with normal performance. Trigger B is the railgun mode, electromagnetically accelerating the same bullets fired from the same cylinder, but at much higher velocity that is possible with chemical ignition. This is where the battery and heatsink comes in, after firing a few rounds, the gun will heat up too much, the bolt action mechanism allows the user to replace the heatsink with a fresh cool one to continue firing in hyper velocity mode, not unlike barrel change in machine guns. This is my favorite explanation for what was essentially an aesthetically driven design based on kit bashing, and you can see it in action and the dev's explanation in-game here: ruclips.net/video/hAn7FI5cdto/видео.html
WOW!!! I hope Norm realizes the value of what he has gotten here. Can you imagine what it would cost to have Adam hold your hand and teach you these things one on one? Plus the value of having his years of experience passed on to you. Wow, am I ever envious of you Norm.
The way you were mixing your paint by banging on the table, made my 3 year old son start drumming along on the couch as he watched with me! Great build!
I don't think I've ever seen someone as passionate about doing things than Adam. It doesn't really matter what it is, he seems to enjoy doing everything to the best of his ability.
37:01 exactly is the difference between prop makers and scale modellers. Adam has allowed dust to contaminate his chrome. For the film camera this means nothing. In a model show this means everything.
It's amazing, around about 43:40 minutes, Adam starts gluing his all together and I LITERALLY had this moment like, "Why is he trying to superglue metal pieces together? That's not going to hold at-.... wow... that's a REALLY good paint job." I JUST WATCHED him paint these plastic pieces, and it's SO CONVINCING, I forgot in the three-ten seconds it took him to cut and transition to gluing them together. Also, when working with transparent/semi-transparent builds, don't forget you can paint the INSIDE of the piece. Amber, especially has a LOT of interior texture to it, adding in some weathering to the back-side can help with the realism on that one 8D And if you're ESPECIALLY brave, cut it in half or slice a HYPER-thin groove into it, paint that groove, and glue it back together. Amber is RARELY ever even a little bit flawless, so the more you can rough it up without actually doing anything to the exterior texture, the better. This is where that test piece and scraps to experiment with is VERY important.
Machine a pocket farther into the frame, drill a pocket for a spring on the frame and trigger to push it forwards. For fixing cross drill through frame and trigger, enlarge hole in the trigger to install a small bushing made from 1/8" brass tube to allow smooth movement of the trigger, then fix with a roll pin. Sounds like a lot of work but it's a drop in the bucket compared to this entire build and beyond milling the frame out, which could be done with a die grinder or drill press if you don't have a mill, there aren't any special tools needed.
I am just guessing, but if they made the triggers move they would have to make them at least click, therefor more little moving parts and probably exceeding the 'one day' build time.
@18:10 "You could snap a tap in here and then this part is no longer usable". Not necessarily true. A solution of alum and water will dissolve the broken ferritic tap but not the aluminium. Well, technically speaking it will eat up the aluminium as well, but at a much slower pace than the high speed steel or carbon steel tap. Immerse the workpiece, or if it's too big simply build a little dam with clay around the hole and fill with alum solution. It can take several hours for the tap to dissolve. But the important part here is that a broken tap in aluminium doesn't always ruin the part. And one of the best tapping fluids for aluminium is regular denatured alcohol, it not only works every bit as good as WD40, it has the added bonus of not leaving a residue that would otherwise contaminate the part prior to painting.
PJ Have you ever actually tried the alum trick? I've been trying to get a broken screw extractor out of a bolt for 2 weeks with that method and it has barely made a dent. I even made a copper reservoir around it so I can heat it with a torch. Maybe I'm not using enough alum
in Time 6:45 When you use lathe and chip comes out in long string. DO NOT hold it by hand. Speciallity NOT by bare hand, use saw protctition gloves, but better if you use thin iron bar whit hook to guide string out. if the string catch a lathe head, it will cut your fingers of.
Did you seriously just tell someone to wear gloves while using a lathe! Thats how you loose your hand if you're lucky, your life if you're not lucky.Never wear any type of gloves past something like the thin blue latex free gloves when doing any type of machining process. It is one of the most dangerous things you could ever do. If you do noty belive me look up de gloving injury. The injury doesn't get its name from the victim wearing gloves but rather from the way your skin/tissue acts as it gets ripped from your bone. It gets ripped off in a similar fashion to a glove getting ripped off. This is the same reason your shouldn't be weraing any type of ring near a machine, an end mill grabs that shit and you can say good by to that finger.
Necropost! l love how y'all cut back and forth during the initial mill/scroll. Both teaching new tools and showing machine or material failure is Great Work. 8 ball on the lathe is endicia of maker-cred. Thanks for being entertaining and enlightening, as always!
Question to the camera man. The manual focus looks really good. Is the pull done fully manual by just looking at peaking? Or is there some assist and AF focus loss - which would mean a phase detection sensor...
Adam just an idea, why not convert the gun to a air blower for your shop? That would be totally awesome.👌👍. Keep up the good work it’s a pleasure to watch you and the crew at work and enjoy it.
@Adam First i want to say, Its so refreshing to see a tutorial in tho not really a tutorial done to this extent. Second I want to thank you for The Teaching part so many don't want to teach they just want to show you small parts. I am like you i understand how most tools work and how things go together, But so many don't Its awesome of you pass on your knowledge and it is very inspiring. Thanks so much for the fun you all had, Wonder what your Wasteland weekend Character would look like?
I don’t know why I find watching Adam just build something for half an hour so fun but it definitely is more entertaining than a lot of the other stuff out there.
Isn't that an old Navy saying: blued, screwed and tattooed? (LOL) Adam, I'm so glad that you have a new career with Tested. Your infectious joy and solid technique are fabulous to behold.

One day build gives Adam inspiration to do another one day build (not recorded).

Dude's obviously still learning. Adam's teaching him as he goes. He sure as fuck did better than I could have done.
I kinda feel sorry for him cause you can see he's interested in everything but only does a few things.

It has to affect your views and ad money with Adam hardly being on anymore.
Adam pulls off a receding hairline, edgy anime hair, looking like a dad with only love in his heart, and being a serious professional dude.

Adam watching you do this one day build reminds me of my days of working in my father's machine shop. I miss those days!
Aw yiss. It's half past 12 at night in Australia and I have been gifted a one day build. My sleep time is yours Mr savage
Adam's enthusiasm is infectious! You can't help but be interested in whatever he's talking about

A stunning pair of builds. While Adam's has the edge on finess (obviously), Norm's is right up there. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. I know these 'day' builds are taxing, but these are what I come back for
Saw a few questions about why the Blaster has two triggers, despite only having one barrel. As someone who has a fair amount of experience with firearms and love "hard scifi", my favorite post-rationalised explanation is actually realized in a VR game H3VR, and it's as follows:
The gun is basically a revolver that holds 6 rounds, the "magazine" in front of the trigger guard is a battery compartment, seen with a battery already inserted with two glowing lights, and on top, there is a bolt action element that works on ejecting a replaceable heatsink.

or a hair-trigger?
Wow. That's awesome. Did they just come up with that, or is it based on design notes/BR lore?
I have so much fun with the LAPD 2019 Special in Take & Hold mode. Ahh now I feel like playing H3VR.
I figured it was a target rifle set trigger, although I have no idea why you would want a set trigger on a handgun 🤷♂️
i really loved Adam's take on the customization, it turned out beautifully.
WOW!!! I hope Norm realizes the value of what he has gotten here. Can you imagine what it would cost to have Adam hold your hand and teach you these things one on one? Plus the value of having his years of experience passed on to you. Wow, am I ever envious of you Norm.
I love the ivory plastic grips with inlaid medallions. It reminds me of an Armi Galesi Brescia or an RG Rohm 10. It fits well with the snub nose.
this is awesome to see, my family and I know dave Goldberg personally. It's awesome to see one of his works is being shown on this channel.
Poor Norm. Has to file away at the triggers, listening to Adam Sandwich going “AHHH, THAT’S THE SHIT RIGHT THERE” on his fancy aluminium grip.
M M sandwich😂
*SANDWICH*
Dude, Adam made a whole new handle and buffed it before norm finished on those triggers.
The way you were mixing your paint by banging on the table, made my 3 year old son start drumming along on the couch as he watched with me! Great build!
I wish I would have found this channel a long time ago! There is clearly no end to your creativity and skill. Very interesting..

This is some next level ASMR.
I'm still coming back to rewatch this video over and over. Amazing work!
Adam is just so sooooo good at weathering, It's a pleasure to behold
Adam is a great workshop mentor

Such good vibes in this video. It’s clear that Adam absolutely LOVES what he does.
37:01 exactly is the difference between prop makers and scale modellers. Adam has allowed dust to contaminate his chrome. For the film camera this means nothing. In a model show this means everything.
I'm not even a model kit builder and I noticed that! I was like NOOOOOOO
As soon as I saw that handheld jeweler's vise I paused the video and bought it on Amazon.

Hey! It's "Could've" For future reference, "could of" is never correct. :)
the scroll saw blade is called a "spiral blade", and it is awesome to see you using one..
@18:10 "You could snap a tap in here and then this part is no longer usable".
Not necessarily true. A solution of alum and water will dissolve the broken ferritic tap but not the aluminium.
Well, technically speaking it will eat up the aluminium as well, but at a much slower pace than the high speed steel or carbon steel tap.
Immerse the workpiece, or if it's too big simply build a little dam with clay around the hole and fill with alum solution. It can take several hours for the tap to dissolve.

And one of the best tapping fluids for aluminium is regular denatured alcohol, it not only works every bit as good as WD40, it has the added bonus of not leaving a residue that would otherwise contaminate the part prior to painting.
PJ thank you very much for sharing your trade secret. One of the reasons why I read comments
PJ Have you ever actually tried the alum trick? I've been trying to get a broken screw extractor out of a bolt for 2 weeks with that method and it has barely made a dent. I even made a copper reservoir around it so I can heat it with a torch. Maybe I'm not using enough alum
Could just drill it out
Dean Baker you'd need a diamond or carbide drill bit, which are expensive.
Thanks dude
Can we buy any of Adam's props? This is real craftsmanship. It deserves to be in a gallery, if not a museum.
My favourite video so far, not because of what you made, but because you were teaching. Awesome job.
Adam: How are you doing with those triggers?
Norm: Oh....i filed those down to nothing...
Adam: can you just do a little bit more on that side?

if the string catch a lathe head, it will cut your fingers of.
It ain't gonna cut your fingers off. Cut them up, maybe, but off, no. That ain't gonna be able to cut clean through bone that easily.
Did you seriously just tell someone to wear gloves while using a lathe! Thats how you loose your hand if you're lucky, your life if you're not lucky.Never wear any type of gloves past something like the thin blue latex free gloves when doing any type of machining process. It is one of the most dangerous things you could ever do. If you do noty belive me look up de gloving injury. The injury doesn't get its name from the victim wearing gloves but rather from the way your skin/tissue acts as it gets ripped from your bone. It gets ripped off in a similar fashion to a glove getting ripped off. This is the same reason your shouldn't be weraing any type of ring near a machine, an end mill grabs that shit and you can say good by to that finger.
The cinematography is so beautiful in this video!
Dude, the camera's frame rates captured the motion of the 360 saw, and boring drill so well that it looks like slow motion. Talk about satisfying.
You can really tell how much Adam loves teaching people new things.
Can you do some leather work for the next one day build? Maybe a holster or anything else.
Some say Norm is still working on those triggers
He hasn't finished them yet......
Some say he is using a whole tree trunk to file the triggers :P
hahahaha
Lol
Man, I would love to have a work shop like this where I can just tinker all day.
Necropost! l love how y'all cut back and forth during the initial mill/scroll. Both teaching new tools and showing machine or material failure is Great Work. 8 ball on the lathe is endicia of maker-cred. Thanks for being entertaining and enlightening, as always!
If you only knew how mesmerized I am right now! Please, anything Blade Runner!!!!
Very cool project, I really enjoy watching these!
Question to the camera man. The manual focus looks really good. Is the pull done fully manual by just looking at peaking? Or is there some assist and AF focus loss - which would mean a phase detection sensor...
Since he is so good at it, Adam should relic a Stratocaster for his nex One Day Build.
That amber-orange grip just *glows,* and I love it.
I wish I have found this RUclips channel sooner. Mythbuster favorite show. Now, this RUclips channel is at another level. Love it! Thank you, Adam!
Never clicked on a video so fast...
Umm, did you mean to reply here?
oops, no, apparently hit the wrong spot, my bad
saw it was Norm and never clicked away so fast
Captain Vist Cosplay right I just hate how the asain guy always has to ruin it I just want Adam!!
right! i know!
Adam just an idea, why not convert the gun to a air blower for your shop? That would be totally awesome.👌👍. Keep up the good work it’s a pleasure to watch you and the crew at work and enjoy it.
Well this day just got 100x better!
@Adam First i want to say, Its so refreshing to see a tutorial in tho not really a tutorial done to this extent. Second I want to thank you for The Teaching part so many don't want to teach they just want to show you small parts. I am like you i understand how most tools work and how things go together, But so many don't Its awesome of you pass on your knowledge and it is very inspiring. Thanks so much for the fun you all had, Wonder what your Wasteland weekend Character would look like?
I don’t know why I find watching Adam just build something for half an hour so fun but it definitely is more entertaining than a lot of the other stuff out there.
24:34 Definitely gave me a flashback to MythBusters. I can just imagine Jamie in the corner shooting him a disapproving look.
"Needs more lard"
I’ve always thought I’d be fun to make an ivory handled DL44 with chrome parts.
"You don't know who Ken Goldberg is, but it doesn't matter..."
Sounds like a hot-save, Adam ;)
There is a robotics professor in UCB called Ken Goldberg
Adam you hero. love watching you in your natural habitat.
As always: a pleasure to watch a master work his craft
"That's dead sexy that's whay that is" my new favirout quote

Allow me to explain how the top works on a bottle of Elmer’s Glue.
“Tactical Grooving”... Adorable...!
I’m blown away,
Both look fantastic!!
Crucial thanks for the tips on clear coat over the chrome
Its almost nistolgic seeing Adam work so effortlessly. Wish i had that drive and passion!
I love how Adam created 3 different things while the whole time norm was just filing down his handle lol
.. and he had to re-do one ! ! : )
proper sanding is way harder, and takes more time than it looks
If I were in Norm's spot I would probably want to watch Adam work so I could learn from him as well.
Someone with decades of experience vs someone who has practically never held a tool before. It's an unfair comparison.
sanding/ filing is the nightmare job; the longer you take the better it'll be (mostly)
That's dead sexy, is what that is ya mhm mhm 38:03
that accent though
Oof
Sometimes I feel like Adam could be illegally manufacturing firearms in his shop, and absolutely no-one would suspect a thing.
Adam Oliphant actually I think the “No Pain” came out from his shop
Probably does,he’s a master of the mill and lathe
Shhhhhhh. You see nothing.
He definitely could
it's not illegal to make firearms, its illegal to make them and sell them, but any guns you make for your self is totally legal to do
Love watching the periphery of frame, your workshop is an aladins cave of stuff! Total envy
Isn't that an old Navy saying: blued, screwed and tattooed? (LOL) Adam, I'm so glad that you have a new career with Tested. Your infectious joy and solid technique are fabulous to behold.
That noise at 11:40
