NOTE: This video does not include any footage of Adam actually using the watering can, so he filmed a clip after the request came up in a live stream. You can watch it on his Twitter: twitter.com/donttrythis/status/1303147613479337986 his Instagram: instagram.com/p/CE257oWnDRX/ OR his Facebook: facebook.com/therealadamsavage/posts/3603433823003108
Brass pipes don't buckle if they are fitted with a right size core, it is all to do with tolerances. I grew in brass instrument shop, you can also roll them back to flat but it also requires something round that is very close to the inner diameter. We use rare earth magnets and rolling bearings now, magnet covered with leather so you can remove it and it doesn't get too close to the opposite magnetic metal.
I agree this format is much nicer to watch, but as a company, that can't just kick a handful of people off the team because some people on the internet said so. I'd assume there's at least 5 people on the team behind the camera
What brought me to this channel is: I loved watching Adam on Mythbusters. What keeps me here: his passion and absolutely infectious excitement for his craft. I can just feel his happiness as he works through a project.
The excitement Adam has to make something for his wife is absolutely precious. His happiness is contagious through the video. To the editor(s): using Adam’s drumming as part of the soundtrack was amazing! Excellent job!!
Has Adam built a drum yet? It'd be awesome if he made himself a little "thinkin' drum" to mount by the end of a workbench. Just a mounted or welded-up assortment of small odd shapes of different materials moubted on a little metal rack that has a good resonating chamber perhaps. Somethig like kalimba meets xylophone, with a touch of steel drum and cowbell? And of course, in a blue moon, a new project-in-progress might yield up a small addition to the thinkin' drum.
Watching a man make something so beautiful for the woman he loves so dearly is one of the most beautiful things in this life. Thank you for sharing this.
This is what a creative person looks like. Him breaking into a drum solo in the midst of crafting his own watering can just solidified that for me. What a great personality 😄 Adam’s a lot more interesting than I realized watching him as a kid on myth busters. A real legend 💪🏼😎👍🏼
A lovely present. When you were inscribing it, I thought, “Oh. That’s kind of personal. I don’t think he’d want to share that.” No surprise, that you didn’t. Classy. Good respect for boundaries. So glad to have a way to directly support your work. Wishing you well on this new chapter.
Ehhh, it probably just said something normal and totally not all that personal & private, like, "I love you" or "Happy birthday/anniversary, more years to come" etc. I'd bet money on it.
@@SalandFindles He already put 'Happy Birthday' on the top, so the bottom must have something more personal enscribed. Good for him to keep that to himself and his partner, as it should be.
Unless they actually make a point to tell the family story of it, it's a genuine concern that the inheritor might not know - and might think this is a high quality, but mass produced, item. Or at least have no idea it's a one-off artisan piece!
Take care of yourself Adam. This quarantine is taking years off our lives. Worst year of my life, but I won't go into that. I love you Mr. Savage. Thank you for these videos. Too all the Tested crew, Love you too.
I was thinking the same- how fantastic each one made a distinctive note and also considered how cool it would be to use that as the basis for a sample pack.
*absolutely...that would be so much fun to watch...not as a one day build but as an actual super serious project for use by local musicians* *several ways of doing this...one being the typical steel drum set that is then polished and chromed...then perhaps a variant set as you might find in a blade runner setting ....followed by a Mad Max world setting then maybe an H.R Giger alien setting....true the last three would be insanely complex and expensive to produce so a lot of planning would be needed, but when completed they could easily be rented out to production houses for background movie props and Comic Con musical events...just sayin'*
When the first part of the video feed it out I was looking at the cane in the background and I thought man that would look so cool with a leather wrapped candle and then you come back on and say you’re going to wrap the handle and leather! I am definitely going to make one of these for my wife and my daughter such an amazing little design it looks so classic and clean fantastic job!!
Love that Adam is thoughtful enough to make the watering can oblong/oval. A lot of watering can for sale is a circular can which is irritatingly a waste of storage space that I ended up using a square plastic jar of apple juice as it is flat enough to store in the back of my garden tool box. And that is way prettier than mine!!! Adam's wife is so lucky to have such a handy husband!!!
Man, this might be the best tested video yet. Love the emotion, the enthusiasm, the excitement, the spontaneous drum jam, the flaws, the craftsmanship, the see-as-we-go, the moments you forgot to press record and the little secret message between you and your wife. Please don't stop doing these video's. They make my day.
Omg I'm going to effing miss stuff like at 23:47 now that you're back in the same space.. Adam filming a timelapse barely in frame and I'm loving it because your beautiful editors put in his drum solo on top. Perfection to an extent that cannot be matched!
As NOT a drummer, BUT a Bassist, so part of the Rhythm Section, I too was hiigghhllyyy impressed. He should totally do a ODB: Tankdrum, of some kind...so many opportunities to customize and perhaps innovate...and then we can be treated to an Adam Savage hand-drum solo outtro to the video! it's a win for everyone involved!!
It's nice to see you put so much of yourself in to something for your wife. it's not the item that's important it's the time, effort,and love of makinging it that's the real gift. I hope she loved it.
Mr. Savage, I was wondering if by chance you have seen the technique they use to bend brass instruments; mostly trumpets and trombones. I saw they fill the brass tubes with a soft freezing substance and then bend itso it doesnt deform while making a 180° turn for the valve section. Would that be useful or practical to use in a shop setting? Maybe art?
@@Mr.Delirious1756 "freezing" sounds like it would possibly be complicated. eg, difficult to control/keep frozen... or come winter, difficult to thaw :p but... brass instrument makers would have the knowledge.
@@deanmc2823 you could do it for a lot less.. but yea, 1~2k in tools, and a hundred in brass is a lot more than most people want to invest in for a watering can.
You're a marvelous craftsman, an amazing storyteller, and a super-creative individual - but I've gotta tell you, man: Your enthusiasm and boundless excitement is what really makes me such a fan! I can be in a lousy, unmotivated, tired mood, and a few minutes of watching your videos, and I am ready for a project. Sorry for the gush. As you were...
Lovely watering can. I enjoy all your builds and watch when I'm sewing, as that's my area of expertise. Currently I am pursuing projects of 1880 - 1901 garments.
I remember watching an old episode of How It's Made where they were making brass instruments. To prevent the tuning collapsing as it was bent into complex shapes they made a mixture of detergent and water and filled the tubs with it, sealed them, then froze them, bending the tubes while frozen
Watching you bend tubing and talking about how you do it reminds me of watching my dad bend EMT tubing for electrical work. Most people don't give electrical tubing a second thought, but done right it's an art form.
Shout out to the Tested editors, you make this show look so smooth and engaging and it really makes Adam shine. Good work, and I hope you're getting some "you" time too!
I love these builds but I especially loved your drum solo. Awesome to see someone have so much fun in a shop. I wish I could hang out with you. I feel like there's so much to be learned from you.
There is something to be said when making an item where the primary drive in making the item is love. Normally items are made for profit or for functionality and that is as it should be but when an item is made for love it does not have to be profitable, or sensible even in its construction. Lavishes can be made, time and care that are too expensive for profit and when you are done you have an item unlike any other. One made by hand that tells a story of our love for another person, an item made not just functional but created to bring joy and happiness to another. Those are the very best projects. I really like that you didn't reveal what you wrote on the bottom of the can. Thanks for sharing such a great build :)
Dude! adam savage has always been a hero of mine! The guy is a legend! Find another leak then find another leak. Dudes a great man for more than creativity and inspiration!
Commenting at the beginning here. I am a jeweler and knife maker as well as a restorer of antique tools, weapons, jewelry and the like. I am a sucker for brass! Especially brass and wood, but you can't go wrong with brass! I also happen to be a succulent collector myself. May have to make something like this! I really love when you say you will let the build determine the final design. That is my method on almost every single project I do. I plan and start with a detailed idea, but the build always determines certain aspects of the final product... and I am always (97%😆) pleased with the results. I believe that is one thing that makes HANDMADE items so much more valuable, sentimentally as well as monetarily (for sellers like me). I also love that you're building for your wife! I try to make my wife and family things any time I am able. The item is so much more personal, its absolutely priceless. Now back to watching!
Adam, I really appreciate your attitude and enthusiasm to not only do one day builds but to also flim as well. I find it Funny and interesting. We need people like you during a time like this pandemic.
What a likeable chap. 8) Great to catch him in his own native environment instead of via the lens of Mythbusters production - though he leaves us a great legacy in those programs. Bravo Mr. Savage! Looking forward to more of your natural enthusiasm for making.
Hey Adam! Nice job! If you're interested I have a tip for you on keeping the buckling down on tubes. Plug one end with glue or whatever, and fill the tube with sand. Then when you're bending it you have something keeping it from deforming. :)
Would love to see a three part series of building the same “thing” each time but with three separate variations, improving on design and concept with each iteration. For example, with this build the next iteration would address fixes for the issues you ran into with the leaks while making the spout look more like one piece and improving weight balance. There is always room for improvement, I think it would be cool to see a series that crowdsourced potential improvements through multiple iterations.
This is an awesome gift! May I make a design suggestion to any other makers inspired by this? As a grower and seller of plants, I fill and carry a lot of watering cans on a daily basis. My suggestion is to offset the fill hole to one side of the can (ideally to the right for right handed folks and the the left for left handed folks). This would make it easier to fill under any tap without the handle getting in the way, allowing the user to hold the can in their dominant hand, or rest the can on a solid surface to trickle fill without the water running down the handle and off the outside of the can. Also, for a name or business logo on the outside, put it on the user's dominant hand side means that the name/logo is on the side facing away from the user and toward the rest of the world when in use, which to me would be 👌. Again, super build. Kinda reminds me of one I had as a kid, and something I would love and cherish. Hand made gifts are the best IMHO!
Lovely looking design. I like how the handle and spout seem to describe a continuous curve, the eye follows it through the body of the can. The brass a beautiful colour.
As someone who learned coppersmithing as part of my apprenticeship, I was shouting at the screen, but to be honest, with your machines etc, I fully applaud your attempt that has produced an item of beauty, that you made for your wife with love. 10/10 fella.
Here's a tip Adam, when wrapping leather around a handle try rolling it up and applying it like tape. That'll keep you from fighting it so much and letting it hit the floor and get dirty.
Adam, it's Beautiful!!! I've worked with brass before and I understand how "finacy" it can be. Kudos to you Sir!!! Long may the both of you use it with Love!!!
Huh, I never realized that's why most anvils have that distinct shape with the tapered, round end (to shape round things of course!). Someone really put a lot of thought into anvils thousands of years ago.
44:45.. keep calm and keep chasing leaks. Thats like on the farm when you show up and there's a half ton grain spill because the flipper switch in the hopper failed or something. Deep Breaths.. Keep Calm and Farm On. Grab and shovel and some buckets, lol. Awesome looking watering can. I'm sure she'll Love it. Happy Birthday Mrs. Savage!.
I appreciate that you kept what you inscribed on the bottom between you and your partner :) Shows what kind of man you are :) Blessings and good health to your family.
I only discovered the joy of step drills earlier this year and I've now put a sign up in my workshop "Stop! Step drill?" so I remember to use them when appropriate
Haha that brass bongo solo was wild. Also, I absolutely LOVE the self filmed versions of these. You get all the little sidecar pieces of content (moving the camera, close angles, and no “b-roll” which make me feel like I’m on a stool in the workshop, watching you work.
You had me at "what did i write? " i was on the edge waiting to hear the sweet sentiment.... And then you kept it to yourself. Even sweeter. As for the gift, anyone wouod be proud to receive a had crafterd gift like that! Well done!

What kind of over-alls are you wearing in these videos? Its driving me crazy i really want a pair! Please help. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Please keep this less produced format when covid is over, this is a lot more interesting to watch than the "TV show" style video
It's much more watchable.
We really feel like we're in the shop with you. Learning from you. Maybe even helping you.
I agree this format is much nicer to watch, but as a company, that can't just kick a handful of people off the team because some people on the internet said so. I'd assume there's at least 5 people on the team behind the camera
Same way I feel about Jay Leno’s Garage channel 👍🏻 more down to earth and personal feel. I dig it
well it was nice while it lasted... as of today were back to shaky handheld shots and constant high speed zoom in and out :(
What brought me to this channel is: I loved watching Adam on Mythbusters.
What keeps me here: his passion and absolutely infectious excitement for his craft. I can just feel his happiness as he works through a project.
His 'bongo' playing is like the physist Richard Feynman's bongo playing past time.
Same
The excitement Adam has to make something for his wife is absolutely precious. His happiness is contagious through the video.
To the editor(s): using Adam’s drumming as part of the soundtrack was amazing! Excellent job!!
You can see he's trying to make something worthy of their life. A master making a gift is like music.
It's so great watching a builder pour their heart into something that will mean a lot. 💛
@CatastrophicBlend “POUR their heart into something...” I see what you did there...😏😆
Has Adam built a drum yet? It'd be awesome if he made himself a little "thinkin' drum" to mount by the end of a workbench. Just a mounted or welded-up assortment of small odd shapes of different materials moubted on a little metal rack that has a good resonating chamber perhaps.

Worst year of my life, but I won't go into that.
I love you Mr. Savage. Thank you for these videos.
Too all the Tested crew, Love you too.
KEEP THE SELF FILMED FORMAT!!!! So much better than the crazy camera work before the COVID-19 era.
I love how the brass made differnet notes as it was dropped in the rack at around 5 mins in.
I found myself wishing he had more so he could make a little tune out of it lol
I think he bought that rack just so he could drop them like that.
Combine those with Adam’s drum circle drumming at 22:40 and I think you might have something there 😂
@@scoobertmcruppert2915 a big brass band!
Right? Now I want him to invent some random made up instrument, the "mythrimba" or the "faupani" or similar.
5:05 Each one a different sound. A symphony of organization.
I thought the same! Nice reward for tidying.
We need a shot of Adam going through and dropping each size so they can all be remixed.
The lazy man’s unassembled organ
I was thinking the same- how fantastic each one made a distinctive note and also considered how cool it would be to use that as the basis for a sample pack.
@@LogicalNiko If he's lucky, he might already have the first part of Happy Birthday somewhere in there.
23:10 Adam should try his hand at making a set of steel drums.

or a handpan
and then remix that sound with the sound of him putting the brass tubes back in the rack!
Or a Chopper tank, on the old Orange County Choppers, with Mikey helping.

Nothing speaks love more than making something yourself for your wife, it looks fabulous!
"What did I write?"
"That's between me and my wife."
Just the way it should be, warms my heart (:

Love that Adam is thoughtful enough to make the watering can oblong/oval. A lot of watering can for sale is a circular can which is irritatingly a waste of storage space that I ended up using a square plastic jar of apple juice as it is flat enough to store in the back of my garden tool box.
And that is way prettier than mine!!! Adam's wife is so lucky to have such a handy husband!!!

I laughed so hard at that. You can imagine the conversation leading up to making that decision to include it in the timelapse.
As a musician, lemme just say that that drumming section was pretty impressive lol

Drum solo at 22:35 for anyone wanting to smile a lot!

What about putting back brass tubes - did you notice the different tones when they bounced? :D
How about that spontaneous STOMP performance? 🤣🤣
It's truly Dinner and a Show with Adam!
Makes anything interesting ❤️
Right, could even make the process of watching paint dry into a interesting display of science and chemistry
Why wouldn’t making a watering can be interesting?

My suggestion is to offset the fill hole to one side of the can (ideally to the right for right handed folks and the the left for left handed folks). This would make it easier to fill under any tap without the handle getting in the way, allowing the user to hold the can in their dominant hand, or rest the can on a solid surface to trickle fill without the water running down the handle and off the outside of the can. Also, for a name or business logo on the outside, put it on the user's dominant hand side means that the name/logo is on the side facing away from the user and toward the rest of the world when in use, which to me would be 👌. Again, super build. Kinda reminds me of one I had as a kid, and something I would love and cherish. Hand made gifts are the best IMHO!
This comment needs to be higher!
"I'll be making a tool."
*builds watering can
Me: That's the strangest looking hammer I've ever seen.
Funny you say this.... He did actually build a tiny brass hammer in one of his videos...
Bet I could still use it to drive a nail
This comment right here...
Yis,
ty,
10/10
would like again
Every tool's a hammer. 😜
Every tool's a hammer....I am No hammer?
I can't believe it took nearly 24 minutes for you to sing "I'm A Little Teapot")
I was sitting there waiting for it, too.
Lovely looking design. I like how the handle and spout seem to describe a continuous curve, the eye follows it through the body of the can. The brass a beautiful colour.
I truly enjoy watching this guy work! He Is responsible for inspiring generations of makers
As a leather worker, I would very much love to see a One-Day-Build about making a better strap cutter
Ooh, seconded. I haven't worked with leather in years, but I remember hating our damn slippy strap cutters.
Same here. That would be great.
That is beautiful, and a work of art. Great job.
I love the tones made when you drop the tubing back into the rack *grins*
#2 ~ When are you building your brass drum set?
That´s truly something, amazing work. I cant believe I watched Adam build a watering can from the beginning, but it was pure meditation
As someone who learned coppersmithing as part of my apprenticeship, I was shouting at the screen, but to be honest, with your machines etc, I fully applaud your attempt that has produced an item of beauty, that you made for your wife with love. 10/10 fella.
The man goes from space suits and trebuchets to brass watering cans. Love it!
Here's a tip Adam, when wrapping leather around a handle try rolling it up and applying it like tape. That'll keep you from fighting it so much and letting it hit the floor and get dirty.
This is what I imagine Clint does in Stardew Valley whenever I update my tools.
Ahhh same
Can't imagine Clint being this enthusiastic or musical... But hey, that upgraded watering can sure is nice.
@CATS - You don't lose anything. Learn to check the weather forecast. ;^)

It's absolutely gorgeous, Adam! It's some of the best work you've done, honestly.
Adam, it's Beautiful!!! I've worked with brass before and I understand how "finacy" it can be.
Kudos to you Sir!!! Long may the both of you use it with Love!!!
Shame we didn't see it in action, or the reaction to the gift. But an amazing build and design
yeah I was hoping he'd at least show her with at the end
I wanna see it in action too
Her reaction is the same as the message at the bottom of the can: it's between them alone.
awww I wanted to see Adam's wife's reaction!
Loved all the efford you put too give this present to your wife!! I hope she loved as much as you doing it!!!
Beautiful work as always, I’m sure your wife will love it! Thank you for sharing so much with us. I learn so many things from watching your channel.
Adam Savage's Tested: Come for the build, stay for the wisdom.
Huh, I never realized that's why most anvils have that distinct shape with the tapered, round end (to shape round things of course!). Someone really put a lot of thought into anvils thousands of years ago.
That's the "horn". And yes, exactly for that and other things as needed by the project
04:47 Listen to Adam play on the K&S brass organ-iser. ;)
44:45.. keep calm and keep chasing leaks. Thats like on the farm when you show up and there's a half ton grain spill because the flipper switch in the hopper failed or something. Deep Breaths.. Keep Calm and Farm On. Grab and shovel and some buckets, lol.
Awesome looking watering can. I'm sure she'll Love it. Happy Birthday Mrs. Savage!.
It is such a joy to watch Adam create something. He seems like the happiest kid on the planet.
Adam Savage is the Bob Ross of craftsmanship, I just spent an hour watching him build a watering can and it made my day 10x better
Adam Savage: He makes his own gardening cans and uses them as drums.
4:49 Adam plays a percussive pipe instrument
HOW IS HIS STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS SO INTELLIGENT AND WELL SPOKEN?! Keep up the great vids.
I appreciate that you kept what you inscribed on the bottom between you and your partner :) Shows what kind of man you are :) Blessings and good health to your family.
I love how much he loves her... he’s giddy and thoughtful the whole time he’s making this... be like Adam
I love that he has the same energy today as he did a decade ago on tv
26:44 "Step drills, Get thy a set of Step drills and life will be good" truer words never spoken..
I only discovered the joy of step drills earlier this year and I've now put a sign up in my workshop "Stop! Step drill?" so I remember to use them when appropriate
Haha that brass bongo solo was wild. Also, I absolutely LOVE the self filmed versions of these. You get all the little sidecar pieces of content (moving the camera, close angles, and no “b-roll” which make me feel like I’m on a stool in the workshop, watching you work.
You had me at "what did i write? " i was on the edge waiting to hear the sweet sentiment.... And then you kept it to yourself. Even sweeter. As for the gift, anyone wouod be proud to receive a had crafterd gift like that! Well done!
