Seems this video is so popular, that Amazon can't get the light panel anymore ("product unavailable"). I really like the LCD display on the rear of the light housing;.currently searching for a similar panel.
"There's no one right way to do this." My first boss used to say that. Usually followed by, "There's a whole bunch of wrong ways, though, and that's one of 'em."
i've decided that the sum of human knowledge is mostly a huge list of ways NOT to do things, and a small list of ways that actually work.
LOL'd
Some of the right ways were not found for many things, like not flapping flight, jumping over high obstacle backwards, that sorta thing that just feels wrong but works
Remember, an expert is someone who has figured out every wrong way to do something specific.
🤣🤣🤣When I was a Foreman Specialist I'd say this very same thing to the Newbies!
I love that these videos have no music, I feel like too many build videos have music in the background, usually adding nothing to the video except distracting the viewer from the build.
it feels so much more intimate without music. You and Adam.
Dovydas Grigas Yes! These videos do not need music.
also because music is haram
They’re very conscious of it and I really appreciate it. You can tell they put thought into it because the only time they use music is during time lapses, which effectively serve as montages, and it’s absolutely appropriate. It takes a lot of guts to have silence. Easy to hide our crimes with distracting sound.
Agreed! As an autistic person, music in a video can often mean I have to turn off audio and use subtitles to not be overwhelmed.
Adam: a note I've picked up when splicing wires like you're doign with the power supply, I always cut the wires positive and negative staggered, that way when I solder them and heat shrink them the two joints aren't side by side, and makes the overall form more narrow and less likely to bind or rub against one another either, though your loc-line has plenty of room inside of it.
Thanks for the tip!
Absolutely 100% agreed!
I've seen that done before it's a great idea
I don’t even have a workspace. But god damn, I would watch Adam build IKEA furniture

I am so happy to see more one day builds, my favorite!!!
Yeah! Mine too!!
Hi WhipWorks I saw your video making a tested whip, did you ever send it to Adam?
Gekko Steijn He did! Tested sent me a picture of it in his shop, no picture of him with it though (which I would love!). You can see it on my instagram if you do that!
I like them too but there's only so much you can make in that time, you have to have an idea of what to make and i don't think Adam wants to rush through a build just to upload them weekly, i hope you get my point :)
whipworks ditto
Adam is the Bob Ross of engineering. These one day build videos are so fun to watch and the outcome is always amazing
I love the fact that when you look at the light on Amazon, all the other bits show up under suggested buys!
One of my favorite things about Adam is that he has this crazed childlike energy and he shows his dumb mistakes. Always brightens my day. I can't tell you how many times I've used Adam's build videos to calm me down after panic attacks or when I feel unmotivated and depressed. Thank you for being awesome Mister Savage, don't ever change.
I liked this build well enough to model my own on it. Instead of armature wire, I used a doubled length of 8 gauge copper wire. I left the wire insulating sheath in place. I created a "nut" for the 3/4" NPT plastic fitting from a copper pipe fitting hiding in my plumbing junk drawer and soldered the 8-gauge copper stiffener to the "nut" so that that end was secure. I then drilled an appropriately sized hole in my workbench to secure the lamp. I modified the flange on the lamp end and used the shoe mount to secure the lamp to the arm. This light supplements the fluorescent ring-lamp with magnifier to improve the lighting on the bench. 4600K is the color temperature that matches that of the fluorescent lamp, but a higher temperature that the LED can provide is a good supplement to the LED lamps that I use on the microscope in that area of the bench. So far, I'm quite pleased with this idea.
I'd Dremel out a little channel on the bottom of the base so the wire isnt smushed against whatever surface you choose to mount it to
Thank you for the honesty of including your mistakes in the video; we've all made them. I also appreciate the acknowledgement that there are many ways/options to arrive at similar results. Keep up the good work!
Nice to see a one day build that is much more of a DIY type video that viewers could feasibly follow along with. Love that he gave prices as he went through the materials so a viewer can quickly assess if the project is something they can afford. Still not something a broke college student like me could do but still appreciated!
Rather than machining out of Delrin, you can just buy a 3/4” NPT floor flange. They have four bolt holes which you could use U bolts to clamp onto a C clamp, or mount permanently if you prefer to a work surface.
I was just about to suggest that.
Thank you! This is totally what I'll be doing
Yes, thank you.
i think a really stellar idea would be to use a led ring light in place of these panel lights, you could even go as far as to mount a magnifying glass in the center if you so chose, love the idea Adam! definitely need to make something similar!
There is something so satisfying about that "pop" sound when the ends connect.
Great idea! That exact panel light has saved me on so many video shoots. So small and easy to travel with.
YES! It's a good day when theres Adam's One Day Builds!
3/4" npt Floor Flange from the plumbing section will help anyone who needs an off-the-shelf mount.
Dean Doll, Thanks I was trying to remember the name for that part, and yes it's a great solution for this problem.
Yep either attached to a hunk of wood or maybe something heavy like a weight lifting plate with rubber feet.
I'm a LED lighting freek. I've replaced all my fluoenant shop lights that keep burning out with cheap LED light strips from Home Depot. I also have at least one of the little LED mag light that Adam has on his band saw on my drill press,
I was literally thinking just this....to avoid any welding
We need to pin this comment!
@@josuelservin2409 you actually tried this and threads are compatible? Just checking before I try it
These videos are my absolute favourite. Adam, please do more workshop solutions and builds. This will make me very happy.
Huge points for making a nice, proper electrical connection. This is why I love Adam's work, everything down to the details is done properly.
Adam Savage is one of the most intelligent, interesting people on television. Thanks for being so entertaining and also teaching me something in the process. Being entertained while learning is something I really have been lacking since my hero Mr. Rogers passed away. Adam I hope you continue your programs. Thank you
Martin Lindley +1000
television? what is that?
Pro-tip for re-doing wires through pipes/walls when you've made a mistake: don't just pull out the wire - tie the string to it so that when you pull it out the string is in the pipe/wall when you need to put the wire through again.
I just got done putting one of these together for my dad for Christmas. I know he's gonna love it! Thank you for the step-by-step, Adam!
I'm so excited about this build Adam. I do a lot of gun smithing and i never have enough light down in my basement on my work bench next to the vise. Now you have showed me how to make my own workbench light. Thank you so much Adam.
I'm in the process of putting together this build, just got the linked power supply and lamp and dang that thing is bright! Works like a charm
Wow I really want to try and make a magnifying glass led version of this. Thanks for the great idea Adam.
Build it with the ability to swap the ends! Would be even easier if you stick with the battery powered light.
No need to use batteries as long as you have the fittings for various power connectors. They just all need to be 12v in Adam's design. There are adapters for using multiple plug types.
Loc-line makes various sizes of nozzles that you could use for a magnifying glass that has a rod on the end, this is what loc-line based third hands use for alligator clips.
Wow..nice original comment then the three of you come in and totally..go against the RUclips grain and give impressively helpful, insightful, and overall just nice responses..thanks for the restoration of my faith in humanity. Legends, the lot of ya.
I have a Magnifying LED light that has its own clamp on the table and arm , but very limited to where you can move it , where the Loc-Line would be so much easier to navigate it over stuff. I may modify it with the loc-line and have an "Y" adapter at the end with helping hands alligator clips to hold my work.
Shop improvements and organization builds are simply the best!
I Love this! Everybody is always so concerned about making a cool end-product, but what makes a fabrication job look so easy is having the right tools to do the job correctly the first time. Thank you Mr. Savage for paying homage to the tools that make the job easier by showing how these tools can be created effectively and economically! much respect!
These videos are great! It makes me calm for some sort of reason..
can't agree more
His voice is all the ASMR I ever need. He needs to narrate bedtime stories.
Yea but hes so flippety jibbit like hes done coke
it's called a working mind
I fall asleep to One Day Builds I've already watched listening to him explain the methods behind his madness.
My solution is to wear a LED camping headlamp, so wherever I'm looking there's light. It's great when model making or working underneath a car.
Thanks for all the great stuff Adam!
How can you keep anything on your head under a car? I work on lifts 99% of the time, but the other 1%, i'm always bumping my head, or close to it. Nothing could stay on for long.
@@2009dudeman The straps on a headlamp are elastic and adjustable. Unless your head is made of jelly or are as slick as an eel, it's not gonna fall off.
@@scottwpilgrim My hats are always getting knocked off. 30mph gusts don't catch my ball cap and pull it off, yet it comes off all the time working on cars. I can't explain it.
Ahhh, heat shrink tubes. I spent a lot of time with my grandpa in his shop as he tinkered with various projects. When I was about five he showed me heat shrink tubes and I remember being so amazed as they shrunk that they are still one of my favorite supplies. Silly the things that stay with you!
Watching your one day builds just make me want to build something, anything all the time. Thanks for sharing your experience and methodology 😊
For the table top mount a cheap easy way is to use a "floor flange" (3/4" in this case). Available at any hardware store.
Here's the LED light, incidentally: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KZLM3QC/
www.thingiverse.com/thing:2873426 lockline 3d print
Needs more atmosphere.
It's a 15 Watt panel and it uses 12 volts DC in. So it uses 1.25 Amps max, any power supply above that would work.
all of the parts used in the video pop up as "customers who viewed this also viewed" hahahahahahaha

I use lock line to direct the flow from my DIY aquarium filters to specific areas in my tanks. The tapered end works perfectly for that aspect. Such a cool use of the material Adam!
Such a pleasure to watch you work, Adam. Thank you for inspiring me to do things I've never done.
Hey Adam you are such an inspiration to me and I hope to develop my building skills through technology and design classes in school
Awesome one day build.
One of my favorite one day builds so far! So simple, and useful.
Mr.Savage Thank you for doing this video. Far too long have MANY of us crafted and fiddled with bits n bobs in nothing more than a candle lit room. This changes today dadgumit! Thanks again good sir.
Two things!
1.Really loving these one day builds.
2. Just wanted people to know that there's this awsome shop called Dictum that sells everything you'll probably ever need for any, wood at least, project
Adam i know you are not going to read this but maybe someone will bring it to your attention
now you need to build one more thing a ring light that can attach different magnifying glasses in the middle
where normally the camera lens goes . it is amazing for doing really fine details
Like this? Pretty darn close. ruclips.net/video/J3V9GNdh3mU/видео.html
@@cydneygeorge-abatecola1600 Video is Private. But that's a damn fine idea.
And, 2 years later, I just saw him come out with a video where he builds a ring light attachment for his microscope. He must have finally read your comment.
You are a quintessential youtuber for the simple fact that you are never smug and/or self important. I salute you.
Adam Savage the doctor Octopus of light.
Great project Mr. Adam
There's some ring light options that are similar brightness/size that would allow you to "look through" the light-would be handy for extra small things that you'd like even light all the way around an object.
With the way this is built (and the beefiness of the power supply used) you could swap out light heads depending on what the project calls for.
I started building something like this with a ring light many moons ago for that exact reason. Never finished it though... But testing just holding the ring light in front of something (I used 2-3 concentric ones) showed that it worked very nicely.
I got one of those on my workbench. It's extremely handy, but the LEDs had no smoothing and strobed like crazy. I soldered a big capacitor across their input leads which smoothed them out considerably.
Interesting. My grandfather had an led magnifying light on his work bench. Kinda want to steal it from my grandma next time I'm up that way. Really cool light for all sorts of stuff, but I was thinking that having that light and the one Adam built on the same bench would be awesome.
swap out light heads?Don't you mean build one with a halo light,magnifying light, blue light, strobe light, heat lamp and disco ball ??
The Regular Guy on a rotating carousel!
Hey Adam, you should make the box the toy repair guy has in Toy Story 2!
I'd love to see that
Oh yeah.
never saw the movie just looked it up from your coment
My favorite part of the movie.
Love these multiple use hi-end equivalent diy gadgets. Even if you fudge it for something cheaper and more task focused it really lets you make your work space your own.
Sometimes i just have to take a second and remember how much this man has given me. All hail the Savage
Now almost exactly 2 years after, we can still see these on Adam's work bench in the videos. Would be interesting to know if the armature has been replaced already as it surely will have to be at some point. Aluminium (yes, aluminium) work hardens and will snap if you swivel it continuously back and forth.
Please do more like this. I really appreciate the little tips that you gave; these are all mistakes that I probably would have made and only realized once it was too late
I spent probably 45mins on Amazon yesterday trying to find something like this. Then here you are with exactly what I need!
15:15 - It’s refreshing to know that even Adam Savage makes this kind of real world mistake. 👍🏻
I would really like to hear from Joey what he thinks of these and similarly priced LEDs for actual photography (videography, too, but photography especially). I know he will prefer higher-end solutions, but a rating of several cheap possibilities like this from a professional photographer's point of view would be very valuable.
Really appreciate watching the concentration while you work. Smart and spreading the good knowledge to the masses.
I love watching these videos not just for the builds but for the quirky tools Adam uses!
Damn.... I accidentally misread the title of this video as "Adam Savage Builds A New Workbench", and I thought that would be awesome
me too
Me too! And trying to figure out where to put mine when I build what he did :D
lol, I totally thought Adam was going to pull an "Oh, I didn't see you there." opening.
I recognized that loc-lite tubing instantly. My ventilator tubing for my ventilator goes through that for positioning at mouth level. Such a versatile thing. From DIY projects to medical equipment.
I like the satisfying "snap" from the wire cutter and the fittings going together. I love the idea and will be building something similar for my workbench I will be using it for a tablet mount as well.... Thanks Adam!
I would suggest running heat shrink the entire length of wire that's next to the sxposed aluminum. Great idea for light!
LED Light - $33
Power Supply - $10
36" of 3/4" Loc-Line - $36
Ball Socket MPT Connector - $5
Ball Socket Flare Nozzle -$6
3/4" NPT Floor Flange - $9
Total - $99
Joy of building your own work light - priceless.
Loc-Line 3/4 inch Ball Socket Flexible Tube 6 inch can't find any in UK? Damn
Funny, when I searched for Loc-Line on amzn uk I even got in the results the actual light
Vegaspsycho everyone needs at least one Ball Socket Flare Nozzle
It's worth it. If you do some photography or videography you can also always use the LED light.
Love one day builds ...i could watch you build for weeeeeeks! Thank you for sharing Adam.
Brilliant! As an electrician, this was pleasing to watch.
"True names hold power." Loc line, thanks, I could never find them for the simple fact of not knowing the name.
Love your work Adam. Here's a tip for future wire splices: Offset, or stagger, splices this way if you rub through the internal heat shrink due to the wires moving you are less likely to end up with a short. This will also reduce the bulk of that area of the wire allowing it to transition through conduit etc. more easily.
Thank you! I am going to use that method for my next wire splice.
Yeah that mythical short circuit danger from not staggering them. Which is why almost every company in the world doesn't stagger them. Its not needed, especially not if you apply a second heatshrink around both like adam did.
Yes it is generally a good idea to stagger/offset the splices, but since it's not shaking or vibrating and doesn't move a lot, i'm 99% sure it won't short in a long time. If it was in a aircraft or even a car, yes sure it's a big nono, but we don't do splice like that either.
ruclips.net/video/O-ymw7d_nYo/видео.html
You don't need something like that for a desk lamp but sure..
Damn, Savage, I love that you are always learning and then throwing it out to us.
Thumbs up Adam. Necessity is the mother of invention.
I only wach "TESTED" WHEN I SEE Adam savage....
This is the truest of the true.
yep just when i see adam i instantly click
norm is cool
CaptainHamsterPants hell yea 🙌
Bilbo Baggins yep me too 😊
you could fish the cable through the Loc-Line by taping it to the armature wire (before bending).
FINALLY, finally i made my own! I watched this build day one. I had to wait ages before having a workspace and now it is beautifully lit :D Thanks Mr Savage
Thank you, thank you so much for sharing this!!!!
I always needed light on my bench for little stuff, but using those light were always a hassle since they can only go in straight lines and for those similar to that light are so dang expensive, yet to see that you can make one with much cheaper material and at your own customized length, is what I need for my projects. Thank you so very much!!!
The irony when you think that Adam playing with "better lighting" probably made the cameraman and editor's life worst. I need to make myself one of those lamps at some point.
Next week Simone tapes the light to the end of a Kuka robotic arm, so that you can remote control it to light almost, but not quite, entirely besides the thing she's working on.
Do you know the most awesome thing about this, I just went to Amazon with one of your links and found it. All the other items listed also linked automatically on the Amazon website because thousands of other people have gone on researched all this to build their own. Thank you Adam. Thanks for the links, from Australia good on you brother.
I love watching Adam do stuff, can't help it.
To Better lighting, hear hear! (Or should that be See see?)
Ian Lynch, Dilly, Dilly!
Nice video, But we want a 1 hour build. I don't care what it is, as long as Adams making it.
Most useful thing for my workbench YET!!!! Thanks Adam!
Adam... You are my hero... I have been stressing over making an articulated arm to bring more light to the work area of my milling machine. The older metal gooseneck lamps tend not to hole up over time and sag... This solution is the way to go and if need be stiffer, I'll just slip some shrinkwrap around the whole affair … I'm going to make 2. Thanks.
You could also 3D print the delrin piece to be any shape you want if your printer can get the resolution on the threads right, I've had some very good success 3D printing SLA resin fittings. To actually get a good model there's addons like CoolOrange for Autodesk Inventor which model the entire thread for you (keep in mind, SLA fittings don't work well in wet applications as the cured resin becomes soft with prolonged water contact)
FDM (most home printers) can't make precise threads at all. Just buying a solid block of something and then drilling/tapping the threads will work best.
I was talking about SLA resin, as mentioned multiple times. But you're right, filament printers wont be able to do it.
I ended up using the top half of the stock mounting joint, and 3d printing an adapter to fit on the arm of an old, decapitated, florescent desk lamp.
Center positive 90% of the time, except for the time you don't check - of course.
RIP Sega Genesis consoles
Read the power requirements label on the back of the unit. It will tell you which contact is positive and which is negative. It also tells you voltage and current necessary to run it.
I have a dead dental filler heater in my "please fix this dead thing, nobody takes it to fix it" pile, that begs to differ. not everything has polarity on it written and some things just kill the pic microcontroller on it if you connect universal power brick that has switchable polarity, which is of course wrong.
Pretty much everything by Sony is center negative...
You just made my day... I've been looking for lighting for my project studio, and this is just what the doctor ordered.
Wheels of creation are spinning in my head right now, thanks for the inspiration.
You need to do a One Day Build with Mark Rober
Edit: Make it really cool because he is pretty legit
Yes!
What is the stripper tool you use at 7:20? Looks super easy and fast!
It looks like the strippers Adam uses here are the Knipex 12 42 195 or something very very similar/possibly a rebrand of the same tool. $90 on Amazon right now.
I have the Knipex 12 62 180 and I love them. They're more of a pistol shape, and a bit cheaper. They've been perfect for my needs. Those are $40 on Amazon.
Thanks!
Damn Adam, people like you partially give me back my hope in humanity.
Quick tip for getting the string through the tube (especially when working with longer tubes), use compressed air, works like a dream!
What wire strippers are those? I had a great pair, I loved, for years but they broke and I can't find a replacement.
Yeah, those looked great. Would love to know the brand.
I was gonna ask this question

How can the armored wire bend continuesely? Won’t it snap through friction or something after a while?
I think you mean "work hardening." If it is more or less straight aluminum like Adam says, that will probably take quite a while as long as he's not moving it every 3 seconds. Even if it does work harden and eventually snap, it shouldn't be super hard to replace.
The soft ally wire is made to be malleable and flexible. I'm sure if you bent it continuously and harshly in the exact same spot it'd eventually give but, it's made to do that.
It's not armored wire, its Armature Wire (Armatuur draad, zoek het maar op)
dutch
I think you could get away with a few pieces of coat hanger wire if you had to.
why have i not seen the video before now i found the other day i needed lighting for my leather work with a few tweeks i can make something like this work for me too. Thank you Adam FYI love watching everything you do you have given me some great ideas for my little makes. 💜
Came to this channel for the cave tour and one-day builds, and stayed for the one-day builds. Thanks Adam, as always!!!
Saw the title, "Yes! I need this!"
Saw the materials, "Yes! I can afford this"
Saw the techniques, "Yes! I can do this!"
Saw the tools and equipment needed, "umm.... "I have a the pliers and the drill. Damn!"
you can make this with pliers and a drill and maybe a hacksaw. no need for soldering if you buy the light with the power supply.
See if there's a makerspace near you, they'll have all the tools Adam uses every day and more
You dont have to solder the wire either, you can just twist the ends together and insulate them with electrical tape
@@fakename287 I wouldn't advice this particular bit. With the wire and rod in there, there is bound to be a but of tug on the cable inside from time to time when twisting and bending it. Shouldn't be so much as to tear the cables, but it would probably be enough force to pull the twisted ends apart over time.
If you have to do it like this, at the very least cut the two wires an inch or two apart, and heatshrink the joints for extra support. If the twisted joints should come apart, the live ends should stay inside the heatshrink. If all fails and they do not, the exposed metal ends will be an inch or two apart along the length of the cable, so they are unlikely to contact and short eachother out. And, having the joints a bit apart, reduces the overall circumference at the joint, which is always a plus when pulling and housing a wire inside another narrow channel. Especially a flexible one.
I'm surprised Adam didn't stagger the two wires he soldered. Leaving them both side by side, even with the shrink could lead to a short by abrasion over time.
I love the lamp though.
And as others have commented, it's great to see another one day build. I've been reduced to re-runs. :o)
Ellesmere Wildwood hats the point of the bigger heat shrink.
Abrasion requires movement and there will be very, very little of that with them squeezed together like that.
He also did not check the polarity of the supply's output. Don't assume that the red wire is positive, check it with your meter!
This is no criticism of Adam's work, I wish I had just one tenth of Adam's God level skills. Many people don't do this when joining multiple wires but it comes from many years of experience in loom splicing, it's just good practice to stagger the wires. Staggering also reduces the diameter of the finished loom. In this case it's just two wires but even then the joint would look like a snake that's just swallowed a mouse. In a large loom it would look like a snake that swallowed a donkey.
I actually have a lamp I used for my work/art room and it's soldered exactly like this and it's worked for over 12 years. I almost guaranty if I go up and check on it it's going to be absolutely fine still.
Same simple job I've used to solder the light fixture in my fishtank, similar story (though soldering job is not "in the fishtank").
And any electrical wire going through an articulating channel should be double insulated, but who cares this is DIY
Holy shit. I so needed this. Ive been looking at surgical overhead lamps for my motorcycle stand. a couple of these from the ceiling and Im golden.
That light alone is fantastic! I've been looking for vanity lighting that isn't so obtrusive or expensive and now once I find a proper mount, I'll have a nice setup!
I just use my 18650 Armytek headlamp.
minus the temperature change?
Warm 3000k tint High-CRI FTW
I picked up a COB based 150 lumen LED headlamp for $5. Sure there's no color temp adjust, but most lights don't have that anyway. If you just want more light, it can be cheaper than a coffee.
BangDroid - I was thinking the same thing. They have a lot of nice lamps online for south of $40. That is one expensive ass lamp for what it's doing. I could maybe understand if it included a magnifying lens.....maybe.
