I have watched this video at minimum a dozen times. There's just something about Ryan Nagata's ray guns that I keep coming back to periodically. So beautifully crafted and presented.
I love the contrast between different makers' work-spaces. One the one hand you have Adam with his organised chaos and on the other you have Ryan with his pristine laboratory. The work these guys produce is amazing
The powder blue one I instantly thought Jetsons. Its like it would be the in the Rosie the Robot home defense product line.

craptor we all know it was not the bison, I never said it was. The comment can still be used in this content, I just tried to make someone smile. I am sorry I upset you so. I can understand the pain you feel when you see something wrong. ❤
I think I may be the only person on the planet who still has an un-painted Righteous Bison XD Of the 100 they sold, I got one of the 4 leftovers. I really want to do something with it, but it's kind of precious. I want to wait until I know I can do it really well. Now I'm a little tempted to send it to Adam to see what he can do with it.

I love ray guns!! I also love classic flying saucers, Maybe Adam could build a saucer sometime.
I love the yellow 4 one! And I feel the pain about being at the hardware store and just asking for a bracket and get "what is it for" ... then me trying to explain and just getting a blank stare ...

As a nerd who worked in a hardware store, I loved it when people said they were working on some prop or cosplay. If Adam or Ryan had walked into my hardware store I would have been out of my mind.

LOL! What pain? I walk right in and proudly let them know I'm building a Dooms Day device, robot, or whatever! The owner of my hardware store now shows me the obscure plumbing, heating fixtures when I come in.
Thanks Adam for finding Ryan and thanks Ryan for sharing your art. It is truly inspiring. Love your blue one too!!
I love seeing these videos featuring Ryan's work, he has some incredible pieces.
I would love to see a lot more of this and vintage ray gun toy collections!

Poor Little Rich Kid I've seen them on eby. £200. 3D printed, profesionally painted.
The usage of the word "meets" in these titles recently is so damn appropriate, and says a lot about Adam's respect for props as storytellers on their own.
I LOVE ray guns. Always have. I think what makes his cool to me are the vacuum tubes on them. Id love to see his take on a Flash Gordon one.
Adam your passion is inspiring. Excellent work mate!
Wow, those are amazing! This guy is definitely really talented.
BEAUTIFUL work!
Awesome video, loving the prop builder showcase, would have never seen this otherwise. I want a raygun now!
Loving Adam as the interviewer, he is so comfortable in the role.
I saw a DJ using a toy ray gun for spacey sound effects and such at an outdoor concert in New York once, and I've been fascinated ever since. I haven't started a collection yet, but they are the coolest thing, I don't even know where to start.
oh my... they are all so beautiful!
These are the coolest replicas ever! Love the 1950s inspiration!
I love the liberal use of vacuum tubes!

thatrandomperson True, and if anybody wants to use them for whatever reason is fine, imo. But there are audio and radio enthusiasts that search the flea markets and estate sales for the old stock, or seek out "new old stock". It would be a shame if some useful vintage tubes were used in these show pieces... my two cents, worth twice that. :)

I like how Adam gets so excited about this stuff. Granted its very cool.
Gorgeous work. It's like they were plucked right off the covers of old pulp mags.
I love how HAL is just chillin on the wall in the background.
I love that Yellow one so much.

It’s not magic. It’s just observation and practice. Unfortunately I think channels like this inadvertently, actually completely the opposite of what they are intending, make people think making is something that is a have or have not skill. In fact, really easy to develop and fast.
These are sick! I Iike the red liquid gray one and the light blue one
Wonderful work!
There is something special about an artist interviewing another artist. I love hearing Adam interview other people who love the same stuff as him. Its interesting how different yet similar they are to each other.

Amazing collection!
Without trying to get too geeky about rayguns (although what’s the harm in that), what impresses me is the simple (NOT) commitment to a craft and doing it very, very well. Kudos and applause!
wonderful collection !
beautiful work, attention to detail, period flavour, brilliant application of re-purposed objects/materials. wow! Also, when did it become Adam Savage's Tested? makes sense of course
I immediately linked the yellow number 4 to thunderbird 4, its a perfect copy
Amazing creations
Fantastic work! I bought a weta ray gun for the competition and never finished it. Still have it!
amazing creativity!
uhhhmazing, love his styling.
this was awesome, i like gun and replica videos you do!
The filter on the red one is a 'case breather filter' for engines, I have a near identical one on my classic rover
Oh man this guy needs to make more!!! lol They're so cool
These are gorgeous.
The Yellow "4" gun makes me want to shout "ThunderBirds are GO!" That's some lovely work... and I noticed the DL-44 up on the shelf behind him, (why didn't Adam say anything?!?!) and that damned cool HAL wall-mount, which looks so good I wondered for a moment if it actually speaks and/or controls the A/C. What I love is that each piece has a different aesthetic and I want to guess the inspiration.. (Thunderbirds, Lost in Space, Flash Gordon, and Jetsons!) and probably get a whole different list from the person beside me.
Awesome workshop!
I love these ray guns and ray guns in general. I have a XZ-31 Buck Rogers rocket pistol and a yellow U-235 atomic pistole that the yellow one reminds me of.
those ray guns look beautiful, the yellow one does remind a lot of Thunderbird 4 from the original TV show
In the early 80s I had a great toy ray gun from the fifties in its original box, it was made of red and black plastic and had an electric buzzer inside that made a raucus sort of blaaat noise and a light bulb that flickered, I used to sell a lot of stuff back then, but always wished I'd kept that one. Incidentally I live in Wellington, home of Weta workshops.
Simply amazing.
I like the Hans Solo blaster on the top shelf!
Adam looks so happy oh my goodness
fantastic vid
Exquisite collection.
great vid. very nice paint on these, much harder than it looks
So much of what I've done with props has come from the hardware store. I fell on the ice one year and couldn't find a cane that worked for my height that wasn't flimsy aluminum tube garbage (some are good, these were flimsy garbage) so I decided to make my own...and make it steampunk. I got a heavy wooden broom handle, some K&S brass, a nail-in chair foot, and copper pipe fittings and started assembling...then realized I couldn't make the fittings go together without pipe in the middle. I had to ask a confused hardware store employee what the smallest amount of 1/4 inch copper pipe I could buy was because I just needed a little sliver of it to connect the pieces together. (He was really nice and once he understood what I was doing, just cut it and gave it to me because their minimum length was something ridiculous for craft purposes.) I've got a ray gun made out of a junction box and other plumbing that lights up, I've got a steampunk arm cannon/shield combo that was made from large PVC tube, I've got a steampunk spear-rifle made out of schedule 80 PVC that I sanded into an octagonal "barrel" and then foam filled schedule 40 for the staff of the spear, I've got a bandoleer of rounds made from some kind of toilet parts I don't even know where they fit into a toilet, I've got a gunblade with the core made of PVC, and of course I've got so ridiculously many things made of puzzle mats (including all the blades implied by the things I just mentioned). There is something about how everything in a hardware store has a sense of fitting together that lends itself so well to making fictional devices and weapons. And it's really inspiring seeing Ryan Nagata's work he's done with the same source. (Maybe with a little extra help from being where he is of course.)
OMG this got me soo inspired to build rayguns! Sooo nice!
Every young boy in the 60's when I grew up loved a good ray gun.

another good video love the ray guns. the yellow one with the red number 4 on it reminds me of Thunderbirds. but my favourite prop weapon in his workshop has to be the federation Phaser rifle from the original series (cage episode) hanging on the wall.
Thunderbird 4 raygun... Now that's cool
I want one omg
Love Ryan Nagata! I love his shop!
I liked the HAL9000 'eye' on the wall.

Yup. The number on the side. I could see myself making a Thunderbird 2 inspired fatso raygun. And there would be a chamber that comes out in the middle so I can swap it. Ha.
Good attention to detail.
Adam did not stop smiling throughout the whole video. Hahaha!!.. He is so in love.
This is amazing!
i like the yellow one, the color and the 4 on the side make me think of the old "Thunderbirds" puppet show.
Beautiful!
His voice is so calming
I hope Adam gets inspired to make a ray gun of his own after this. I'm not a CoD fan, but the ray/alien gun you can get in the zombies mode would be awesome to see him try to create.
That's really cool. Salivatingly cool.
They look like something out of the Fallout universe!

Fallout is a baby compared to the age of the first Ray Gun concept/appearance which was at around the late 1800's early 1900's. I've never played fallout but sounds cool if they have weapons that take influence from such an old but amazing weapon type. :) I might try it.

The yellow and red ones remind me of Thunderbird 3 and 4.
Great detail.👍😀
i have a question. What film/comic book did the ray gun get introduced?
Those are F'n awesome! I saw a SW blaster in the background :-)
Nice new intro - featuring Simone:) Nice video too.
Fabulous ray guns.
I've really enjoyed this one.
I never knew I had a thing for Ray Guns. Now I want all the Ray guns from Mars Attacks movie!
Love the HAL 9000 lens panel on the wall.
When Adam was holding the first one I kept thinking, Watch where you point that thing! I'm really into this idea :)
Googled "Ray Gun". It didn't show up, and I scrolled a lot. That said: they look awesome. That first WW1 inspired one is my favorite. Just because it reminds me of Fallout.
