    Adam got to SEE one of Theo Jansen's full-sized Strandbeests in person in 2016! Watch the video here: ruclips.net/video/U02qqB-2nbs/видео.html

      Adam, Theo must have taught you to pronounce "Strandbeest" the way you did at 0:40. Sounded very Dutch! Goed gedaan!!

    This actually shows the sheer stellar ingenuity of Theo’s creations. I remember living opposite his workshop in Delft at the time (we’re talking 1995 here) and I was already mesmerised. He would load up his old battered Volvo with pvc pipes, rope and tape and take off to the beach to put yet another miracle together. His tenacity took him really way farther in the years after that. Recognition by Adam, and his realisation that these things are really very meticulously grown (because that’s what it is) are a true testament to Theo’s visionary craftsmanship and artistry.

    I've been a prop builder for forty some odd years. Although, admittedly, with nothing even close to your resources or skills. Most of my career has been Opera, with whatever I could friggin find with no budget.
    Watching you on these "one day" builds has reminded me of why I spent so many years defending my need for the dining room table, and why the patio doors really had to be open despite the 40 degree temperatures.
    This one, for some reason, captures my OCD "brilliant idea that needs to be achieved!" Thing as well!

    I would like to shout out to the elderly man at 8:12. I am almost sure he has been doing some sort of metal fabrication/mechanical engineering since his early to mid twenties. He has well earned his salt, and yet, Adam Savage, who is one of my role models, has stolen his spotlight. All props given to Adam and his achievements, but even more props to this nameless gentleman who lives his life in humble servitude.

  • @Mister_Eiffel
    @Mister_Eiffel 8 лет назад +4

    This is amazing. I know it's not the truest form of Strandbeest (Theo's beests being wind-powered PVC constructs), but it's amazing in its own rights. I feel that making them out of sturdier material such as steel would help create more complex mechanisms (implementing steering or shifting gears somehow would be nice).
    To stick with Theo's idea of self-sufficient constructs, I would like to see one day a solar-wind hybrid or a purely solar-powered strandbeest.

      In programming it's called NIH syndrome for Not Invented Here. Sure, maybe there's another library or software already out there that does close to what you want... but that's not quite the same as writing it yourself, exactly how you want. It can be dangerous too, sometimes it's best to save time and use what other people have already built.

      Cory Sennett His first mistake was "wanting to do all the problem solving by himself." No matter how smart or ingenious you are, a single mind is never as good as multiple.

      I never take it off and I use it almost daily at work. In all kinds of awkward places.. If it doesn't fit.. then you use some other technique. Saw or flame cutting..

    Kudos for your sewing. Safety note: My vet recommends all dogs be secured with harnesses and seatbelts. Small dogs particularly become furry projectiles in a collision. I've rigged seatbelt ties with easily removable carabiners to go with their beds. I like the foldable nature of the beds you built. I didn't think of that. Brilliant. Awesome that you don't differentiate between male tools and female tool stereotypes. A sewing machine is as complicated as any machine in your shop. I geek out over all your tools. BTW sewer is a good non-gender replacement for seamstress and tailor. I am a senior female who spent many hours with seam rippers. Most fabrics have directional grain even when it isn't as evident as corduroy. That's why pattern pieces are directionally specific similar to checking lumber for crowning.

      being a generalist Adam knows about a lot of things. But he doesn't have a lot of in depth knowledge about a lot of things too. A real welder would never MIG weld outdoors.

    • @cobraa340
      @cobraa340 8 лет назад

      Paul Frederick I didn't refer to Adam specifically. You wouldn't stick weld sheet metal on a car if it's outdoors right? you'd use a MIG

    • @1pcfred

      I might. I can SMAW down to some pretty thin gauge metal. I'd rather use a MAG too.

    Awesome build, what a pita that crank measurement was missed. Hind sight is a wonderful thing i know but they even had a model version there they could have cross referenced with (10:26). Still amazing to see him get it all working in the end. Keep up the great video's.
