Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Luke's Lightsaber!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2020
- Time to make a laser sword hilt! Adam takes a cylinder of aluminum stock and walks us through how he machined his first replica of Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. In the spirit of revisiting his early propmaking efforts, Adam only uses one found photo for reference and explains how to extrapolate details from an image to usable measurements for propmaking. It's a build that goes through some unexpected turns, and ends up being a different One Day Build journey than Adam intended!

Tiling on a Mac: make it into a pdf, open in adobe acrobat reader. The print options there allow you to print a poster on tiled sheets.
Yes!
And for Windows: Use MS Paint! It's found within the print options menu
Yes. Most PDF viewing software has tiling functions. I use it often for 1:1 jig layouts...complete with registration marks for alignment.
Another trick on the Mac: when you come across an image that the website won’t let you save, hold Shift, Command, and 4, and then you can select an area on your screen to capture. Saves it as a PNG file on your desktop or downloads folder, depending on settings.
I came here to suggest the PDF poster option for tiling also. I use it all the time on windows to make stuff for my classroom.
I like how Adam understands that the price of something can be cheap or expensive to someone depending on their circumstances. I hate hearing youtubers call $50+ items cheap
Or buy a whole lot stuff to test out. Who can afford it?
@@greg9403 Eh? Isn't that the ideal situation they test it out so you can save money and buy what's good
@@greg9403 alot of review and unboxing channels actually get all the stuff they review on camera for free from the company as payment to advertise it on their channel, so you may watch someone who seems like they are buying the same product again and again just to make a video but in reality they dont pay for it at all
@@TheThirdEnergy sometimes, but a lot of times they buy it with their own money... after all, it could be their job and buying something for their channel is a work expense.. you spend 50 dollars for an item to review and make 500 from the video. also 50 dollars is cheap as fuck its easy to spend that on dinner for one lol
@@RywokastDarkstar5000Where are you buying dinner? There's only a few restaurants in my whole city where you could 'easily' spend that much.
31:30 “actually wait right there” I absolutely love how Adam talks to us as if we were right infront of him going through this experience with him, which we practically are!! Love the effort, and I love that despite all of the setbacks, you found something to take out of this; a lesson to be learned!
Were you also screaming "USE THE DRILL PRESS!!" ?
Having lived through any number of projects like this myself, I give Adam the highest praise for having the courage to show a less-than-ideal outcome for a build. Very often it goes more something like this than it goes perfectly the first time. This video is both a great demo of process and the fact that, even though the tools may be precision, we humans are not. We work with the best info we have, in the time we have, to get the best result that we can. I like this guy. I like the way he thinks. He doesn't need my praise, but I had to say how I feel.
What is your occupation that allows you to do this on a daily basis and how do I start???
I really appreciate you showing us the mistakes and how tough these builds can be, even for someone as skilled and experienced as yourself.
Could not agree more literally all of his builds seem flawless, which most are
Sometimes it's the journey, and not the destination
Do you think he even noticed that he did 8 bits on the pommel instead of the 6 it's supposed to have?
I was coming to the comments to say the exact same thing.... Thanks Adam
Amen sister
55 minutes of Adam resisting the temptation to violate the limitations he has put on his own for-fun project.
For a Mac use illustrator. Make the art board to the massive size you need then in printer properties set your print size to letter. Your art board will then show a bunch of ghost letter size outlines breaking up your art board. That sizing formula is spot-on. I used to use that as an artist to size up or down on a stat camera. It was also useful to size up roughs to transfer to boards for paintings. It’s amazing how many of those old tricks I use today when designing products.
I know on PC that the newer Adobe PDF Reader programs have that function buried in the print menu tabs, probably Mac too, but don't own one to check.
This video should be mandatory viewing for all high-school shop classes. Adam is a class act and shows an honest view into what really happens in a working shop. Mistakes are made, even with the best and most experienced builders. It's not about the mistake, but how you overcome and move forward.
I believe that Adam is one of the best examples of the saying; "Boys don't grow up. Their toys just get bigger."
I agree 👍
To print scales up images on multiple pages use adobe acrobat reader
Bigger and/or more expensive.
Not bigger. More expensive.
I'd have to say his level of engineering expertise puts him in a class of man most aspire to actually achieve. I mean stick him and a body builder on a deserted island and it would be a no contest on who has the better chance of survival.
He wanted to make a "perfect lightsaber" and not disappoint us fans.
The fact is, no 2 lightsabers are exactly identical. His finished product was awesome, and i for one am amazed at his craftsmanship
It'd be nice to see him do his own lightsaber design. Darth Savage sounds pretty badass!
He’s stressing about marring when Star Wars is all about that
I love how casually you assert that “your” emitter will be slightly smaller than a “normal” emitter. Just cracks me up! 😂
High Adam. As an electronics engineer, I find it hard to believe no one. " At least to my knowledge" ? Has wondered, if light saber technology existed" then why did they not make for themselves one that was three feet longer than your opponent " lol instead of the same size. I'm sure it crossed your mind. Iv watched you for many years. Thanks for everything. Especially as the only guy on the planet to make that fella in myth busters with the daft cap. Lol. Actually smile now and then. Great stuff ".
The "new" format to these one-day builds is really inspiring and way better in my opinion. Watching you in real time fuck up, and see you walk through the issues mentally, and verbally is almost worth way more to me, than seeing you make something perfect in a video first time. Inspiring. Keep it up.
Makes sense, that was the best part of Mythbusters after all
When Adam Savage has to become his alter ego: Adam Salvage.
I was about to write the exact same comment 😂
I wrote this comment and then deleted it
when I saw yours.
Fittingly all Savage had to do to get to Salvage was to take an L
Showing Adam honestly go through the dreaded "AAArrrrggghhh! Can I fix it? Can I live with it? Sigh, .....do I trash it and start over?" process us weekend warriors go through constantly is probably the greatest public service you could provide. Mille Grazie.
The diagonal cut on the tile print is the simplest solution I didn't know I needed. I will for sure use that one day and think of this video.
Pinterest: You cannot save this picture.
Adam Savage: Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Adam: you're underestimating my power!
That's why God created screenshots.
@@jessesisson2955 quick and dirty solution that does work, but you'll lose a lot from the original image file. Adam doesn't seem the type to accept those losses.
But I also think he'd really appreciate your straightforward "in a pinch" solution, as it is resourceful and creative. ...just not ideal. Cheers!
I was wondering why he didn't just hit the printscreen button and crop out in word or photoshop.
On windows anyway I do "Windows+Shift+S" and it captures what ever is on my screen.
12:27 I wish I had a slightly longer piece... don't we all Adam Savage don't we all.
The timestamp should be 5 seconds earlier.
You Have the coolest job.
"Print tiling" in "adobe illustrator" for large scale printing.
Crop marks and join lines on overlapping areas let you print large images with ease.
Keep up the good work
This is actually one of my favorite episodes! Going through the PITA and trying to muscled through it and realizing its time to call it is priceless. It happens to us all and seeing it happen to someone you look up to shows they're human too. Kudos and look forward to seeing your personal saber build.
First time I find a ODB within 10 mins and its a lightsaber. Perfect.
Adobe Illustrator does automatic tiling. Import your image, size it, and choose whether you want to tile page or image area (eliminating margins).
You are bang on. Acrobat will allow you to do the same.
You can do it in a lot of programs' print dialogue. Even google chrome has a custom "scale" option under "more settings" that automatically tiles oversized images. I was chuckling to myself that entire portion of this video because even though I have the full Adobe Creative suite I do this exact kind of thing professionally simply to save time.
Ok but how do you do all that? Lol
On illustrator
I would create this in a 3D modeling program, import the texture map from Illustrator or a similar program and then 3D print it.
You can also get an 11x17 printer.
37:23 It's amazing that he knows (almost) where all of his tools are stored.
Your videos are my comfort background noise while I'm working. You are so wholesome that you help drop my anxiety a bit. A stable source of calm in a time where there is no calm. Just wanted to thank you for creating this content. It's helped me get through some things.
When I blow up images to poster print I save the image as a PDF and Adobe acrobat will let you tile it over multiple sheets complete with cut lines! 😁
This. Save yourself some time, Adam!
You can even scale your image up or down in it. Save your 10" version as a pdf, print -> poster -> 117.5% (tick the 'show cutlines box' as Erik said) and hit print. Bonus tip: you can print a long-ass document as a booklet, no need to do hard math on which page goes where.
Yep, this.
Yup I do this all the time
Ah yes jolly good advice my good sir🤓! Now i can finally make that life size Slave Leia print out for my dungeon👿....
Wait a sec Õ_Õ.... nothing to see here😲!! Move along, move along😤!
Hah🤣
My Grandmother as a sign in her home that read... "The Hurrier you go, the behinder you get." That explains the issue with the mess up.
Thank you for showing the complete build along with the hang-ups you faced. Just goes to show that nothing works out the way you plan and you have to have the ability to persevere though the rough points to appreciate all the good that comes from the entire process. Fantastic job sir!
I just want to say, watching you work and build brings me so much joy Mr. Savage. You are a treasure!
Build a DARKSABER, This is the way!
This is the way!
This is the way!
to hook onto the top comment, jspaint.app is all you need to scale photos by percentage. It's literally from 1995 and works great as a website.
this is the way!!
This is the way.
"I have chosen a different path in life" is my new favorite answer for everydamnthing. Hilarious. Oh, cool video. 🤘🥴🍻
I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I'm an amateur builder seeing Adam explain his mistakes, really encourages me make my own mistakes and learn from them!!
Words cannot fully express how happy this video made me. I worked for over a decade as a Welder/Millwright in a metal fabrication shop. The number of times people brought in a picture (or several) and said "can you build this?" and it not be the same when they get it home and match it to other pieces they had was amazing. It is NEVER as easy as it seems to build from an unscaled not dimensioned photo and get it perfect.
"Big Print" by mathias wandel is exactly what you want. He's one of the original crew that developed BlackBerry.
I had no idea he was involved with BlackBerry, every day's a school day.
that is someone different to the youtuber woodworker/engineer or is it the same guy?
@@najtrows same guy
Believe it or not, it's actually super helpful not only to be able to see such a talented maker not only make mistakes (reminding me that we are all human) but also to be able to observe how he recovers from those mistakes (arguably one of the most useful skills a maker can possess). Adam, thank you for sharing the whole process. Too many folks just gloss over that part of the process.
I love that you are still working on very cool projects that I can enjoy! I've been watching you on a TV screen since I was 5 years old and it seems crazy to think about that.
God this was just so good to watch ,so many great moments and little joke ,the amount of patience you have is on another level,and you never let thing fault you
Adam Savage is the embodiment of growth mindset and I love it. Makes mistakes, adapts his plan, and finds the silver lining. Discerns what he can learn from the mistake - great example!
wow I wasn't expecting to see Adam so truly disappointed. These are honest mistakes showing his vulnerable side. That makes me like him even more.
Adam I love your passion for the things you love ! Always keeps me coming back to watch more and more of your projects
It was fun watching the process, Adam. I wasn't disappointed at all, because you have a degree of craftsmanship most of us could never match.
I think the most inspiring thing about your videos is watching how you recover from mistakes.
Adam use rasterbator.net to tile images. I've used it many many times in the past to make giant posters of images that dont exsist. I hope this helps. There are also versions of the program you can use to print 3d objects on paper then cut out the pieces and glue them together into 3d objects. Another thing I used in the past before 3D printers where easy to get.
Came here for this. I knew someone would hear him say that and be like "I've GOT that tool!!" Thank you for posting. :)
I think I made a mistype. It took me somewhere else.
Awesome thanks
Haha i yelled at the screen “Rasterbate it!”
Did anyone actually read the name of the link before clicking on it
Man I just loved this one, especially when you explained scaling, it’s almost as if percentages are reversible lol.
Ive done this with so many applications in my head, I followed every step and knew exactly what you were going. But I’ve never seen it quantified so simply.
& Nice touch with the diagonal matching technique. I used to survey and overlay several plats on top of each other. It makes so much more sense to connect multiple lines diagonally than shorter straight lines in parallel.
But when you went on to explain parallaxes, it blew my mind a bit, and I immediately googled it.
…it’s not a 2D scale image…but a 2D image of a 3D object from one angle.
🤔 now I’m thinking of all the times I didn’t know the word for what I was seeing. Acheivment unlocked.
Your videos really are much more than just watching you make stuff. They help open so many doors in my mind.
As far as eyeballing something, the differences are negligible, therefor I’d say you definitely nailed it!
Dear adam savage. I grew up watching you and the Mythbusters on TV and it is just so absolutely amazing and entertaining to watch you geek out over star wars stuff. may the Force be with, Adam, always.
Pinterest is killing any useful google images results
It's so bad that I have a Chrome plugin just to add -site:pinterest.* to every Google Search.
I wish there was a way to BLOCK a site from search results. Goddamn pinterest... 🤬 (You can always "-pinterest" like Adam suggests, but why do WE have do extra work because PINTEREST sucks? Also, sometimes I swear that's just a placebo, lol.)
@@AurelTristen I was literally just goin to say something like that would be useful. Got a name?
I find a plugin that reenables right click is also useful to save images directly, no need to go digging through page source code.
@@JustLiesNOR I'm using "unpinterested!" I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but this has worked well enough so far. I too use enable-right-click!
@@AurelTristen And here I came to comment on also not liking pinterest. Thank you!
I love how he expends that effort and tells the story about assistant animators while lining up the two parts of the lightsaber printout very precisely, then slides it off kilter when taping them and doesn't fix it 😂
That was amusingly frustrating to watch happen! :D
The video does cut at about 11:53 (I assume in order for him to realign).
Saw that too but for the use of the pic for length,it was close enough,lol
As someone else mentioned, there is cut right before he tapes it down. If you watch the paper closely, you will see it get misaligned right before the cut, and then it "magically" becomes perfectly aligned when the cut hits, and you can see the perfect alignment once the tape is down. It's pretty subtle.
Could never be disappointed by you, just watching you work is a treat wether it's perfect or not
I watch a lot of your videos with my 9 year old and 6 year old sons and this video had a really valuable lesson. My sons watched you mess it up, admit it, brush yourself down and fix it. Good learning material!
For tiling you can import the image into excel and turn on page lines. You can also use the grid sizing to help size/center.
My way to remember sizing is " the size you want divided by the size you got"
I always just did algebra. This is gonna save me a lot of headaches. Thanks a ton
Target / source = scale factor, exactly
@@GovindHair Yup. This is exactly what algebra is for. Your thing is 10 inches, you want it to be 11.75 inches. What do you need to multiply to 10 to get 11.75. 10x = 11.75. So 11.75/10 like Adam did in the video.
It ends up in the same calculation, but you get to keep the unit if you set up the full equation...
X / target = /
X / 11.75’’ = 100% / 10’’
X = 100% * 11.75’’ / 10’’ = 115%
@@han5vk i graduated high school with many people who could not add or subtract 2 digit whole numbers
You know what? I actually love that you showed all the errors and hiccups and explain them.
In the end, it’s still awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process.
Also, I’m highly envious of your workshop.
I will absolutely seek out your personal design lightsaber build, because having built one myself at Savi’s Workshop, I’m becoming slightly obsessed with lightsabers and builds.
Thanks for sharing this!
Adam, you say you dont want to disappoint us but the fact is you make an excellent show of how you can have so many years of experience under your belt and still mess up. Its truly amazing what you do and not everything has to be perfect all the time, having the humility to say "this isnt right and its not exactly what I wanted" takes a different skill and we are here with you for the succsesses and for the failure, no matter what! :)
I guessed I missed the part of the movies where Luke hung out near a lathe and milled his new saber. I would have watched the heck out of that. Honestly, that makes the armorer in the Mandalorian even cooler.
Adam quoting The Talking Heads is so wholesome to me, knowing he has good music tastes
Love adam and his love for engineering and such u can see how it always makes him happy
I don't know anyone who has made every project petfectly! This is how craftspeople grow and learn, and this has certainly made me embrace my failures a big more! Thanks for the wonderful lesson Adam
I loved this...brought the human element to this build without the “sanding and patching” of production. Thank you for this video!
Definitely feel we need an "Impatience Remediation" demerit badge for when you did something the 'quick and dirty' way to save time but actually made the project take *way* longer because now you have to fix what you screwed up before you can continue. I have done this many, *many* times, just as we've seen Adam do it too, both here and in other videos.
Yup guilty, will take one of those if you don't mind **holds head in shame**
Thank you for posting a video like this that shows all of the mistakes and frustrations that you encounter. It really gives hope to the rest of us who don't have the luxury of video editors while we create.
I really really love that you show it all, balls and all, and you have your mistakes shown to all. Good on you mate for being you. Keep it up. I learn more from your video's than anything else.
As part of their training, a Jedi must construct their own lightsaber.
I'd love to see a lightsaber hilt designed by Adam.
EDIT: I hadn't seen the end of the video. Awesome!!!
This is just great, thank you for sharing this with us, including all the trials and tribulations that come with this build. Let there be light.
From Henrico County Virginia.
I like that you were willing to share all the ups and downs on building . Thanks so much. Still looks good to me.😎
I find the sound of you moving around your workshop, the footfalls, the boxes shifting and the drawers, oddly calming.
Watching Adam fummble around is my new meditation. It's like my new Bob Ross.
It's like watching your dad work on a project when you're a little kid. You know, minus the swearing 😂
Yes me too. He definitely needs to jump onto some ASMR videos in the near future.
Adam was so tortured this episode! Seems like building this as “past Adam” with “future Adam’s” knowledge was a struggle
Is he better or worse than he used to be?
@@GoogleVideoMan Much better, which means he would do stuff differently today with vastly improved knowledge, but he pledged to make it from old adam standpoint i.e not using the proper reference he has, but instead using images from google, or images in general.
Thanks for the lessons learned moments. Nice watch
I gotta say, I always love when Adam does the thing all of us glasses wearers do in removing the device designed to help us see so that we may see better.
YES! Whenever I search for reference images Pintrest is the bane of my existence!
I think it's because pinterest was never really supposed to be for photos. It was more like a site linker? You press the photo and it takes you to the site that is using it, that's where you download it. But people began using it more for gathering art references and crafts and toooons of other stuff. It really should just let you download the photos though.
aww, grogu on the desk wearing his mythosaur pendant is so cute! i miss that little bastard more than my own mother
Yeah Baby Yoda.
This is a perfect episode...and it's great that each hilt is different.
Mr. Savage you did an amazing job teaching about how to not barrage yourself with negative self talk because something isn't right whether by you making a mistake or an accident from unknown source. You also taught that you shouldn't quit because of a mistake or accident but learn from it & persevere as the end result will be a reminding example of the lessons you've learned.
OOOH! Posterazor is an amazing program for scaling! They even have a webtool! I use it all the time to make pdfs of battlemaps that can be printed on A4 and then taped together!
I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are complete.
Adam is a national treasure. It’d be awesome to just hang out with this dude for a day.
OMG! I thought I was alone in hating how hard it is to scale print jobs. Thanks for voicing this struggle @adam savage.
it's completely insane to me how you can obsess over something that *might* be a couple of thousands of an inch out, but then in the following sentence say that you're 'just going to eyeball' something
I would watch a show called "Adam Salvage".
This was majestic. Thank you
I just like the fact that you are indeed........human! It was fun to go along for the ride, perfection-be-damned. From here it still looks great. Thanks for just being real. Trust me, it’s more charming to see how easily things can go askew while winging it! Have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻😃
Really enjoyed this video! Working through mistakes and actually teaching us about more things than intended. You are fun to watch and learn from. You are a great teacher with a lot of patience! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
With your removable hilt "you can end the Emperor rightly, he has foreseen this!" 😉
Jeez i completely forgot about that meme.
I love these self-filmed videos
You express so much more of your personality, unstifled, in these ones
Thanks for soldiering through. Inspiring moxie. Thanks for the example of being OK to let it go. Looking forward to yourself designed light sabor. It could be that it is already in your past but still in my future. Blessings.
I love Adam’s perseverance and how he takes lessons from the things that don’t go according to plan! Great video!
The last part, starting around 52:47 kind of confirmed something I thought was off from the start:
There are SIX "crenellations" on the original, not eight.
Currently 41ish minutes in and I’ve been hoping he would notice...
Totally dig the Rickshaw shirt. I also watched that build and loved it. Also love the little easter egg in the background. The Richshaw is in the shop and light up. AWESOME!
These are Adam’s Lightsabers. The force is strong enough with him that he can replicate his original lightsaber based even on a different photo! Great Job on being consistent, Adam! I Love your builds!
At the beginning of the build, the whole time I'm sitting here thinking in excitement , "how the hell is he going to machine those crenulations in one solid piece?"
this was my favorite one day build adam, by far the most valuable.
I've been binging on older vids that I might have half-watched or skipped or missed in the past - and I'm amused that Adam calls this inaccurate and kinda gives up on it out of perfectionism. If 99.99999% of us non-machinists had made that we'd be overjoyed at the outcome. The fact that the end thingy was actually a faucet knob on the original was something I didn't know, so it amuses me more to see all the effort to replicate a movie prop that was kinda thrown together out of found parts.
I believe the legend is the other part was made from one of those old Speed Graphic 4x5 camera flash things that held batteries to fire flash bulbs. Before I knew that back in the 80s I can remember passing over boxes of those things in a second hand camera shop looking for stuff like that for an old Speed Graphic camera I had. I would have bought the box if I knew!
Don’t beat yourself up, this lesson was awesome. Great to see when things don’t always go to plan, too many highly polished videos, that never show actual results. I’m guilty of doing it. Really enjoy your 1 day builds 👍👍
This build was really beautiful to me because it showed me that even seasoned professionals still make the mistakes that I do, and that ultimately it is ok to make those mistakes.
Literally looks basically perfect to me lol. Just shows how much of a perfectionist you are.
Just awesome thanks for the knowledge!
The amount of how good this video made me feel is amazing. I'm glad about all these mistakes, I'm glad about Adam messing up. This helped so much to remember that it's ok to mess up and even the pros still mess up and that the important thing is just to create.
I was literally typing that "Adam should make a personalized light saber like he's in the Star Wars universe to his own preferences."
And the he said he's dong that next😎🤘 I can't wait to see it!!!
40:30 Excellent choice of calculator
Woah it's Dave, I just ordered a DM42 after seeing your video on it. Keep making the great videos man!
I prefer 16:30 Texas rulz
trade school I went to we're required to use them
Damn I love that calculator, had to get my most recent one on eBay since the solar II came out
he should have used a compass to split that section though
thank you adam u really inspire me to make my own cool builds and gadgets
your my hero thank you
Acrobat tiles well. Love the references back to working as a graphic designer in the 80's. I learnt so much by manually designing back then. Hand rendering type, darkrooms and halftoning, bromides, proper kerning by eye... gawd I'm old!
