Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Star-Lord's Walkman!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2019
- Adam's latest prop build is a replica of Star-Lord's Walkman from Guardians of the Galaxy! This is a styrene scratch build using some of Adam's favorite modelmaking materials and techniques. And a few firsts for a One Day Build--the use of a vinyl cutter for the logos, as well as a minor injury mid-build!

I absolutely love the fact that Adam, despite all his tremendous success, is still very much a regular cosplayer when con season hits.
I don't know. He's referred to himself as a celebrity in a previous video and now instead of a plain black shirt, he wears one with his name on it. Just saying.
@@laterix Not his name, his company's name.
@@laterix Well, stating facts isn't hubris or self promoting or anything. He IS a celebrity. The shirt is already explained. Many people with their own companies wears their own company shirts.
Exactly ... this clearly is a man that does what he loves doing and nothing more to it. It's just beautiful.
because its his hobby, he enjoys it
Those mad eyes when Adam says, "I CAN BUILD IT OUT OF STYRENE." Were priceless.
Dice Punk lmao, that’s why i love watching adam build or create anything. he gets so genuinely excited and adam’s love for the machines, materials, and tools he owns/amassed over the years really shows. he’ll explain how it all works in an easy way for most viewers to understand. he also has learned to genuinely be proud of his work, which for a lot of people is hard.. as we all critique ourselves so hard, lol. always have looked up to him, all around just a good ass person.
@@urcutejeans- I feel the same way. And I always pick up something new by watching him, even if he's done something before, there are a lot of small tricks he does unconsciously that he doesn't mention.
It's made me a better maker and hobbyist as a result.
i thought styrene was a gas byproduct of the cataclysm of MEKP and fiberglass resin....
Icy Uranus what’s ur point? Ur dumb?
Those 666 likes have opened a portal to hell.... Sick!
Whenever I watch these videos I'm like, "Does he ever make mistakes or cut himself?" I'm glad you showed us that you did. It seems more real.
Are you joking? Adam injures himself on a daily basis.
For me, i think that these come by default/accidents and we`re all in the same ring. :)
It’s impossible to be making all his stuff and not make mistakes/get injured
||-//
Yea if you watch his videos regularly you know it's probably a common thing. He doesn't have the best safety measures when working
It seems like you haven't watched mythbusters in awhile
"Has anyone seen my orange toolbox? I left it right here."
I lost it at the pelican case "Ah a thing, it's the right colour, BANDSAW!"
"Yea let me just destroy this perfectly fine case for the button! What a logical solution!"
If you use quotations, be sure to actually be quoting something. Otherwise, use these little guys ' '
I wonder what the comparable ebay costs are between an OG walkman and that case alone.
Coworker sees the mangled case: Adam, what happened to the case?
Adam: I cannibalized it for a walkman.
Coworker: Okay.
I cant imagine the number of other things in shop thats missing random small chunks or pieces. hahaha
Adam: I can't justify a $400 walkman.
Also Adam: *Goes ahead and ruins a pelican case*
I laughed at that too, but I'll go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt and say that it's possible he had that on hand for materials and it wasn't really in use anymore.
But makes how much from the views he gets saving $400?
Its just a small chunk. More like a scuff.
If adam can afford to buy a spectral prop suit and gun that is valued at couple of thousand bucks a walkman is a drop in the ocean, but also he's not likely to wear that for a con is he ?
Wow. Lots of replies. I do realize he can afford them, and making is fun and perfect for content. It just seems like a Pelican case would be one of his favorite items, since he loves storage. Plus they're basically a forever item with how durable they are, so it didn't make sense to use it IMO.
That said, he does what he wants. who cares. just thought it was kind of funny.
This dude said “damn Daniel” un-ironically in 2019 😳
Awesome video
well it was nice to hear Adam calling me
That defentily was ironical.
@@5uperM Take off the al. Ironic
Same
The moment he said it I went straight to the comments.
I havent seen Adam or Jamie since mythbusters ended and had no idea adam had a channel, but watching this has made my day😊 i love how enthusiastic he still is, and how much fun he has😊
Who else will probably never build this, but just loves seeing Adam work in his shop?
XYZ Create, almost everyone, lol.
Me.
99% of viewers will not build this...
Well no i won't ever make this, but seeing him doing his thing and techniques is always valueable for any project.
Shoorit far more than 99%, but that’s not what these videos are about. They’re about materials and techniques.
"This is the most fun part of the build, finding chunks of crap you've kept around the shop forever and figuring out how they fit into your build". Beautiful master builder wisdom.
Well put. Indeed.
Or hoarder
and when you find it you fucking knew that someday you will need it !
People call me a hoarder
@@ajtee721 My Dad calls me that all the time. Then I show him a project where I used a piece of crap from years ago and he says "oh, cool! You're still a hoarder."
Me: i don't know if I have enough time to watch this 35 minute video
*35 minutes later*
Me: Ah crap
Me too, exactly.
Just watch at double speed when in doubt?
Siana Gearz I don’t understand how people watch videos or listen to podcasts at higher than normal speeds. It sounds so unnatural and is harder to follow.
@@AlasdairGR Depends. To me, most people talk too slowly and aren't economical with time, i can speed them up by 25-50% and it would still be fine, especially if they aren't conveying any information that is too challenging to process. Of course there are opposites, the guy doing biotech and physics science videos at The Thought Emporium, who i wish spoke on average 20% slower, but unfortunately time-stretching audio never works quite as well as time-compressing it.
And sure, the sound is never entirely natural, but it is more intelligible than for example text-to-speech voice synthesis. You'll just get used to it.
Double speed tends to be a bit borderline and sometimes you have to rewind.
me, too…😂
I would love to hear the story of the "dressing or undressing prohibited" sign... Please!
I thought I was the only one looking at that, lol!
@@NONIMNO nope, I had hoped we got enough likes to get the story but so far... It remains a mystery. Lol
It's very likely intended to tell people they cant change clothes somewhere, like at the poolside or on the beach itself.
@DarylMorning I was watching a video about the story of that just before watching this. If you haven't seen it here is it. ruclips.net/video/W38HXRhsLAo/видео.html
im gonna become a patreon just so I can ask him this for you
Can i just say the rustic charm of Adam's shop is amazing... like as you look around you can see anything from gatling guns to space suits, from countless tool racks to numerous shape crafting mechanisms... it brings a smile to my face to see the organized mayhem of all the beautifully crafted doodads and trinkets around Adam's shop
Looks even better in VR on the Oculus Quest where Adam takes you on a tour of his workshop. Just wish I had one with all the tools and materials he has. Just jaw dropping.
Regular-sized, prop-making Hagrid.
I think the workshop is also called his "Man Cave", maybe that explains the aesthetic.
@@Jierk no offence but i thought he had a back room to the workshop and that was the man cave, just a friendly conversation but what do you think of this statement?
@@robertmalone1694 So I read the description and re-watch the intro of "Tour of Adam Savage's Cave!" and apparently the entire building is considered his cave.
The Perfect Orange Button.
What did it cost?
*Everything*
@Eric Bowman HEY!
12:36
14:28
Adam Savage eureka moments/noises.
Yeah, usually when I make the noise at 14:28, my next words are "Thank you so much, babe, that felt amazing!"
I would have added a small cheap mp3 player, so that it has at least one small function
Why? An MP3 player isn’t relevant to Starlord’s character or story....
@@Spazza42 because it's a walkman. A Walkman was a device to play music. An the Music is relevant for Starlord
That was the one thing I was waiting for, actually. Sony marketed the Walkman as giving you the soundtrack of your life, so it would be extra awesome to be able to play Vol1 while walking around in costume... 😎
@@BTVRhoenrad That’s not the point of character.
His Walkman was given to him by his mother who made mixtapes of all the songs she listened to growing up so he could experience them as well, it’s his childhood connection to her. If he wanted a functioning Walkman he’d have been better off buying a real one, not building one.
The Zune is only relevant because it was intended as a gift from Yondu. It was given during a moment of clarity of who his real dad was, and to replace his conveniently broken Walkman.
MP3’s have nothing to do with it aside from giving a prop a function, even though an MP3 player would be a pointless cost.
@@Spazza42 man shock people are allowed differences of opinion lol. an unseen, completely hidden mp3 wouldnt compromise the build imo.
me:
10:30 was enjoying some asmr carving
10:55 suddenly gets startled by 80s synth
Yes, I turned up my speaker a bit to hear everything and then the music starts blasting
6:40 Cutting
7:14 Blood
That thing is probably worth more then a real one, just because you made it :)
I was thinking the same thing - and even if the final prop isn’t worth that, him spending a day in the shop working on literally anything is worth more than $400
the real one i have sitting in front of me is worth $1000
And also.. If you plant birdseed, birds won't grow out of the ground.. Unless you water it.
No.
i was thinking the same thing
I love how he does things so naturally and efficient. For example when he cut the board like he does it for breakfast every morning
Easily the best ‘Maker’ channel out there! Props to whoever does the video production work for these. I love the way that they bring us into Adam’s world 😀🕺🏻🎥🏖🇦🇺
29:45
"I NEED AN ORANGE BUTTON!!"
Shoves Pelican case into bandsaw
Adam: "I'm going to use overkill to make this tape cassette hole!"
*cuts to shot of minigun*
Every single time i see Adam do what he loves, one thing comes to mind... "Hope all people can just sit for a second and just appreciate this mans beautiful mind..." amazing seeing him just come up with ideas on the spot.
Thank you for sharing your quietly reaction to hand trauma. Lots of people would think it's wrong to share that, but you show us that we are all different, and that's ok! It's nothing to be ashamed of, no matter who you are.
You should totally do "One Day build with a fan" i'd love to hear someone asking you questions about your build process all day. Interested in how you do everything!
Sounds like less fun for Adam than the fan
you mean,have Norman be more often on the One-Day Builds?
@@redstar96gr57 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Hematoph Why, it's basically just a funny man straight man setup but with someone who's a master and someone who's learning.
He just released a book about that.
I saw his SV Comic Con cosplay video and thought "wow, he got ahold of a real vintage Walkman for his costume". It didn't even occur to me that he could have built it. Fantastic quality work Adam. Props.
Watching you clone a 1979 Sony Walkman was one of the most interesting things so far. Now I want one just to have one. Damn it.
Such a humble dude. The skills he has and the zone he gets into when he’s doing his work is amazing.
Why not put a small iPod/mp3 player inside with the mix tape on it and have the headphones connect to that?
Or maybe bluetooth so you can change songs with your phone!
Thats what i was thinking then it would be more like him to have better technology in an old body of tech
Maybe even a Zune. I hear it's what everyone is using on earth these days.
I'm going to assume it's because Adam would then want to make the buttons on the outside work with the MP3 player (breaking it down, rewiring, etc.), and although he would love overkill builds like that, probably too much for a one day build
It would be an awesome project to make all the buttons function to control an mp3.
God we are so bless to have this man on RUclips. Thank you Adam for continuing to inspire a generation.
For those who don't know about the threaded inserts that Adam is referring to they are called "helicoils".
I think this is Adam's 2019 moment. Cosplay is passion. Hours of labor to be on the floor for half the day... PASSION. Smiles during these moments are 100% true. Here's to next yr. Congrats on the upcoming!
Tools are no more than fleshy hand detectors. You know that you've found a hand when the red stuff starts leaking, and no it's not transmission fluid.
That smacks of an AvE quote...
@@ChozoSR388 spot on, I certainly have heard AvE refer to hammers as thumb detectors
@Dr Grinspoon B then I guess it's like every automotive fluid except for washer fluid.
Don't forget some people run on blinker fluid, LoL 😆
@@meisenhut31 You'll have no problem moving without brake fluid - it's stoppin' that you'll find yourself not doin'.
"A repeatable, screwable moment"
What a lovely description of most of my life.
Anybody else: Uses foam or something cheap and easy
Adam: I SAWED THIS PELICAN CASE IN HALF
That's a lot of damage! And I'm gonna fix it using only flex tape
old case that he most likely got on ebay for 20-ish$
For every one of us who wishfully and wantonly would love to know and execute the breadth and width of your long tenured experience, rock in brother and all hail your fortitude! Thank you for reminding us all that we can age beautifully and with greater knowledge!
I love the passion that goes into everything Adam makes
A true inspiration
I think you would have been better off throwing a MP3 player or Ipod in there so it was functional. Had a of all the music
...Zune???
Great idea. I think I would do an arduino based MP3 player, which isn't a whole lot of work or cost. I would say that because you could wire up real buttons to this thing and make it actually functional.
Hell you could even wire up an led power light and a motor to make the tape move.
that last sentance gave me dyslexia
@@kristjancebulj8162 maybe spell "sentence" right before trying to criticize some one else for a grammatical error.
@@snavisTM i mean... i told you i got dislexia
This, with just ambient sound, could be asmr paradise
I watched this sitting beside my prusa mini thinking, literally everything other maker on RUclips would probably make it on a printer or using foam, but here’s Adam savage milling a Walkman into existence
I Can't even tell the difference between this and original. Super nice prop.
Hey Tested, is it possible for the audience to get the dimensions of the different parts so we can assemble our own Walkman?
Probably of the tested premium plataform. Wouldn't surprise me
If you know the model of Walkman (TPS-L2) you can get the dimensions fairly easily. After that all you need is images and a micrometer to compare.
Why not just putting in a bluetooth modul?
I just want to say that I find it somewhat comforting in knowing that Adam has the same reaction I do when I cut my hand. I have passed out several times after cutting my hand or even after seeing a gory screen in a movie. The first time it hit me was while watching 127 hours. It's honestly one of the worst feelings I have ever had. And while it does not happen every time I get a cut I always get anxious that I might start to feel terrible and then pass out.
He just a guy who loves what he does and make stuff he wants.
Really he living his own dream, a veritable workshop where he can make anything he wants. Weld, cut, sand, obscure tools and more.
99% of cosplayers: I'll look on ebay for a similar Walkman.
Adam Savage: I can make that!
Sony TPS-2 ... Not similar, the exact model.... Also, is anyone going to address that the color is wrong ? Way too deep blue :-)
Covered early in the video due to "Starlord" these Walkman' have a ludicrous price point... $500-$700 for a refurbished and over $350 for "Parts Only"
I bet someone on movie staff have predicted that, bought whole bunch of them and now is selling those on inflanted pricess.
cost of materials, not to mention specialized tools, well in excess of $400 but hey if you love model making
Nothing at all in this build was "Specialized" Adam used a mill because he had one, there is not anywhere near $400 in materials in this build AT ALL, Nothing required specialized material at all, nothing required specialized tools, Tandy Leather Factory offers belt clips that you can just buy...
Hello, pelicans products how can I help you?
Hi, this is Adam Savage im calling about the no questions asked lifetime warranty on an orange pelican case.
Adam, we've seen the one day build video.
Haha!!
I watched the Comic Con video first and thought "wow he found the actual Walkman!". That's so good!
I love watching the creative process unfold in real time. Its the best part of these types of projects!
Shop injuries can really take the momentum out of a project, glad it wasn't worse!
This is the perfect type of prop imo. Exactly the kind of thing I love to look at
With the blue and silver finish I keep thinking of G1 Soundwave!
I was actually just wondering if anybody has simply substituted a Soundwave for a Walkman (or making a prop of one) for a Starlord costume. :)
This is one of the coolest One Day Builds I have watched him do; by far!
You forgot the little spindles that sit inside the reels of the cassette that you would see in a real walkman. Fun build though! love these things!
Exactly. Bothered me too. Love 1 day builds nonetheless.
That was something I noticed he skipped too.
Yeah noticed that.
Could've easily gotten some off some cheap junked walkman, glued to another small board.
Came looking for this comment
To be fair, it is just a prop for a cosplay he will probably only wear the one time. Besides, if you ran into him at a con and glanced at the Walkman, would you really stand there and nitpick the Walkman or would you look at the whole cosplay?
I watched the Incognito when it came out, and I honestly thought you had purchased an actual Walkman. Congrats on another phenomenal build, Adam.
Adam's love and enthusiasm for what he does makes me happy.
I love the enthusiasm and energy that Adam brings to every build. That excitement is so inspiring! Truly one of my hero’s!
30:00 Adam confirmed savage, who the hell does that to a Peli?!
Adam does...period.
Evil people 😂
Someone that really, *really* needs an orange button. Duh.
Thank you for star Lord stuff Adam. It really helps a lot.
Walkman------world's original hand-held device for listening before the dawn of podcasts
Adam, you are a BEAST! So glad that we share the same first name! Keep being AWESOME and SAFE! 🚀🦺
I really like that his videos don't have that standard annoying music that plays on DIY builds these days!!!
Edit: Oh Here It Comes 11:00 !!! Actually, it's not so bad.
What do you expect? Making the walkman and NOT playing the mixtape?
and as always the music is at least 3 times louder than Adam talking .. i wonder if they do it to really piss off people wearing headphones
It’s a bit awkward when he’s not saying anything and we’re just watching him work. Maybe a little quiet background music would be nice. Something that fits to the build?
I love that 80s sound! any ideas on where he got it? I can't find any clues.
I didn't actually think you were going to saw the pelican case hahah! this was brilliant, love these videos. Adam is so pure
So satisfying when he had the one panel tuck into the other so cleanly.
Really impressed by all your projects Adam, keep up the good work!
I wonder if Disney regrets giving Sony product placement in this movie lol
@Sheepskin Mcgrue It was probably a good deal for both then, and it still is. The Walkman as well as the music are iconic items of the shameless flirt with the 1980s.
@Sheepskin Mcgrue they do now
@Sheepskin Mcgrue If Disney Records is smart, they should throw more cassette tapes on the market.
I think he's talking about the whole sony/ spidermans deal, not the actual walkman
@@Prime501 that would be a Zune.
Adam needs to go check out the puppets for the new Dark Crystal show on Netflix by Jim Hensons company. They are amazing and I need more info on them.
zushiba 100% yes to this.
James Hamaker Joy is not a zero sum game dude. Someone else’s enjoyment of a thing you do not like harms you in no way. So don’t be a jerk. Go find your own joy.
@@Taaneria well put.
@@Taaneria "I like killing people"
I believe he already has (mentioned on the podcast).
Adam always puts so much love into what he does build, collect or cosplay.
Adam, thanks for that absolute reality of your channel. Very refreshing!
Orange button time: you WHAT?!?! Wow, dedication XD
Adam: "I have absolutely no idea how to go about this very hard part."
Also Adam 0.5 seconds later: "OOH, I HAVE THE BEST IDEA FOR THIS!"
holy crap!
I watching you scribe panel lines in almost silence at three in the morning, and then the music starts and scares a few years off of my life.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who reacts so quickly to that particular injury. My brain goes "Countdown to woozy in three... two... better sit down!... one..."
cant justify 400$ for the working walkman , puts like 600$ of his own time into making a damn good prop. i can respect that lol
Those theoretical $600 is insignificant compared to what he'll earn from the video(so far about 1 million views in just 8 days), so he didn't lost anything of his own time, making these videos is "his job".
@@E_y_a_l the point of my comment went over your head ....
@@-CLASSIFIED- No it didn't, the basis of your comment is just wrong, he didn't lost any money and didn't spent any of "his own time" by creating the prop, this is his job, just like other successful youtubers who are creating content and making money out of it, this is what he does for a living, you wouldn't comment in a pewdiepie video about him losing money and spending "his own time" by creating his videos, right?
What we see in the video is a man working, yes, he's having fun and likes what he does, but it's still his job, the only difference between him and someone working in an office or a factory is that Adam got a camera pointed at him.
He can't justify spending $400 for the working walkman, that doesn't contradict justifying EARNING money by creating a prop, in one case he losses money, in the other case he earns it, so there's no contradiction, he made the obvious and right choice.
You wanted to compliment him, I get that, but your statement was wrong, don't hate me for correcting you.
He probably has or bought the real thing anyway
@@BavarianM You can be rich and frugal at the same time.
Adam, I have the exact reaction as you do to cutting my hands, and it is absolutely terrifying because I basically go into shock for a bit, and can barely think while blood drains from my face and I get cold sweats, and have to sit down before I pass out.
Thanks for making me see it's not just me 😅
David, I know this isn't the time or place, but I just want to say that your models on MMF are brilliant.
@@lavachemist Aww, thank you! :)
Wonderful job on that prop Adam !... Keep up the great work !
I grew up on this dude.. like hands down my favorite show...I use RUclips , like crazy. The fact that I'm just finding out he does this on here....constantly,It sounds like.. has shattered my entire universe.. I have so many old videos to watch 😁😁
omg I really thought he was going to drill into his other hand! :D
I just love how Adam is such a nerd. It makes me so happy. "ORANGE BUTTON"
he's so wholesome; i love his enthusiasm for everything
Great video Adam, and being the same age as you, I can relate to the looking over the top and/or removing glasses to do the finer details. Do it all the time myself.
SICK! DUDE I WALKED RIGHT PAST YOU AT THE COMIC CON!!!
10:57 The sudden BGM gave me a big fright, for a split second I thought I was going to get rick-rolled and I wondered what I had done to deserve it...
Getting Rick rolled is a reward
Savage as always! You are an amazing craftsman and artist Adam! Can't wait to see the full outfit!
that shot of the minigun when he said he was going overkill was perfect
Average person: saves up for months to buy a Pelican case.
Adam Savage: slices up a Pelican case to make an orange button.
Why save for months? They aren't that expensive.
Yeah, found one that looks like the one in the video for like $60.. Not that much compared to average shop equipment prices. Especially one as big and as stuffed as Adam's.
Still I'd prolly just paint it proper color instead, but it's not like a holy grail of cases was destroyed for it?
@@DemoBytom Probably and colour
@@DemoBytom A before proper
@@DemoBytom It's before A
I would have definitely bought a cheepo mp3 player and mounted it inside so it really works too.
Its not worth it because he just wants to talk to everybody.
A bt transmitter would be even better.
Wear some air pods inside the headphones
maybe a future addition, there is easily enough space left inside.
I punctured my arm with an exact blade after a long night working on an art project for school, went right into the artery of my art, needless to say that was something for my emt dad to wake up to in the middle of the night😂😂😂 Thank the universe he was there I wouldnt have not known what to do, I love how you handled yours so calmly! Im very impressed👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Oh man. Dropping the buttons in was pretty satisfying 👌
It's a little bigger/chunkier than a real TPS-L2 but I think that will help it stand out more for the costume. Darn good job!
That was awesome, well done on what is a superb eye for the smallest detail. P.s miss Mythbusters
The editing, sound, and shots are so damn perfect
The video work in these things is so freaking good.
9:10, I thought that was Kari Byron for a moment, got all excited.

I've been using a tamiya scribing tool for cutting styrene. It's safer, cuts deeper, cuts straighter, and leaves a nicer edge.
I’ll have to look into that. Also cool last name haha
@@crimsonvampyre602 thanks, my parents gave it to me haha
Never heard one bad word about Adam Savage. Awesome guy. Talent and class.
One of my fave ODB's to date!
Adam, make something using only products from a dollar store
and he has to steal all of the materials
dollar stores are garbage value. sure, you get cheap stuff, but compared to buying bulk value it's garbage. it's expensive to be poor
then he uses thousands of dollars of tools on them
@@user-le4bx1jw3f Its like the "make a 3D printer" with a 3D printer that that Ben Hecks boomer made
This is Tested, not a William Osman video
(I love them both)
I love that he 100% could have gotten a walkman through Ebay but he chose to build one himself :) Go Adam!
rockstarTraveler he knows he will make more than $400 from RUclips on this video. It’s a win-win-win-win situation to make this fantastic custom prop. No brainer. He probably took the profit and bought the Walkman anyways, because who wouldn’t want the original Sony Walkman. It’s a rare important historic cultural technology and music piece that will only appreciate in value. He made something from scratch that created both joy, video content, a cool prop, and profit which invested in a collectable becomes a longterm growth financial asset.
except then he would have missed the pure joy of making stuff ... you can't buy that.
It's never about the destination.
It's the journey that counts.
When I saw the video of you at the con I noticed the Walkman and thought it was cool you took the trouble to find an authentic Walkman. Now I'm gobsmacked
Great job Adam!
