Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Foam Prop Safe!

Ғылым және технология

Adam takes on a fun prop project using one of his old go-to materials for builds: large sheets of insulation foam! This carvable, sandable, and paintable material is great for creating all sorts of large volume props, like the replica of a vintage cast-iron safe Adam is building today!

    back when i was in college at an art school, the pink foam was much beloved for many things. at the time there also happened to be a couple new buildings going up downtown nearby that had gigantic sheets of that pink foam and its blue cousin leaning against the fences and scattered around the building sites in smaller chunks. being very broke art students who needed their meager funds for more important things like not starving to death, a lot of us wound up lurking around the construction sites dumpsters and scrap piles for anything they'd give us to use as supplies, and a few of them were actually pretty cool about it. one day someone managed to score a full sheet of the gigantic pink foam cracked diagonally from a build site, he carried that thing over his head like the king of town all the way back to the dorms and built a shrine to it for a while until it finally became part of several projects. pink foam is magnificent and versatile, and i kinda miss working with it.

    This video brought back SO MANY memories of doing prop fabrication! Honestly i miss it and wish i could go back to doing it full time. I'll relate to some of the things seen in this video for those who may not be "in the biz", and may not be aware of all the hurdles involved in making something like this when Adam makes it seem so easy. (I would be super proud if Adam read this comment) We have to remember that not everyone lives in California where you can get things like the Roscoe sealant, or the correct type of spray adhesive on the same day you need it. We had to come up with solutions to these problems and considered them trade secrets. Since this was 20 years ago, i feel ok letting the cat out of the bag. When working with this type of foam, and making anything of considerable size, you have to stick it on to some sort of a backer for strength so that it will even survive the trip to set. 1/4" luan was the order of the day since we had it. Getting this foam to stick to that wood is no small feat, and if you can imagine having to make 10 to 15 4'x8' panels with Egyptian hieroglyphics carved into them, you couldn't even buy enough of that canned adhesive even if it wouldn't blow out your entire budget. Enter the carpet glue and serrated trowel! When i saw Adam using a glue made for carpet i had to laugh in reminiscence. That was a big secret of ours for years. Then Adam has to deal with the 'everything eats foam' dilemma in order to prep the foam for paint. Once again, if you don't live hear Hollywood and are in a time crunch, you need other solutions. Trade secret #2? Flex Seal wont eat foam! not even bead foam. added benefit is that you can spray it on and dont have to worry about the brush strokes, not to mention the time savings. I suppose i would have made the legs out of MDF instead of foam, but knowing that Adam plans on hanging this up excuses that LOL. Trying to tell stagehands to 'be nice' to a prop is futile because it's the actors who are going to break it. There is no feeling like starting your day alone in a shop with a bunch of materials, and leaving that night with this 'thing' sitting there like a monument to your creativity and fabrication skills. Thank you Adam for making me reconsider going back into the feast or famine world that is film production work.

    Agreed. Sloppy paint, far too much "bare metal". Should look like thick hammered paint, jet black, with highlights scuffs and chips mostly just around the edges. And mostly, some ornate gold scroll decor lines.

    Also getting the chipped effect on "laquered" paints sells a piece as actually being old. Masking with latex, spray painting and then pulling the latex away gives some solid, realistic wear and tear chipping effects, instead of even gradients that tends to just look spray painted/dry brushed on.

    Build it a little thicker, make the door a little more exact, and put small, evenly spaced holes in the shelf for air flow, and it would work great for that. Put the ice on the bottom shelf, and your food or drinks on the top shelf, and it would be a cool "conversation piece" at a cook-out or the beach. I'd also ponder making it larger, and work out how to drain it when all that ice melts, but yeah, this gives me ideas. Another cool little feature one could add is, instead of a dial and crank-style handle, make a "u"-shaped grab handle on the front, and add a hasp for a padlock. Form and function, for they who control the drinks control the party!

I've seen people make giant trees out of pieces glued together that you'd never know were foam unless you were let in on it. Hot wire foam cutters work great, but a quality utility knife with replaceable blades and a T-square can do just about anything you can think of.

    As long you have the right "rituals" and work alone it works out. The trick is to stand and lean always so it is physical impossible to get hurt. If you work not alone though that is indeed a bad idea. The tricky part with such tools is to learn all that without loosing parts of your body, because it is all about experience. The major tricky part is that you keep people with less expertience do the same (as i learned while using an anglegrinder without protections due to limited space and the person imitating me not aware just how temperamental they become if you go out of alignment with the cut...)
