Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Foamcore House!

Ғылым және технология

Today's One Day Build is a homecoming for Adam, in a few ways. Using only one type of material and one cutting tool, Adam builds an architectural scale model of the house he grew up in. It's a walk down memory lane, and a return to modelmaking basics!

Today the house has been sold twice for over a half million dollars.

    Where I live, the cost of housing has risen so much in the past 30 years, and the neighbourhoods have too. So my uncle bought a house in a kinda undesirable part of the city in 1970 for like $50 k. Now, the neighbourhood is a very affluent one and his house is worth about $2.4 million. This guy is so awesome that he refuses to sell his house to leave it for his kids.

    Well, different country, but where I am house prices have become 10-15x more expensive in 20 years. About a 10% (sometimes more) increase per year. When you consider that wages often don't even keep up with inflation, that is one SERIOUS price increase. For the US in particular I've seen stats that show that inflation-adjusted wages have actually been going down since the 1970's... In other words, while your bank balance might be larger, your income in real terms (the stuff you can buy) has actually gone down, not up. Prior to the 70's it was definitely increasing consistently, but after that point it's basically been stagnant/decreasing. Depressing huh.

    One dry scorchingly hot day, Adam Savage was on his way to work sees a young man who looks to be dishevelled and disorientated, Adam pulls up to this strange man and asks if he needs help, the man replies "Please sir, I have been lost in the desert for 2 and a half days, I'm hungry and very thirsty", unfortunately Adam has no food or water in his Prius. Adam being a great man takes this clearly distressed person to his workplace, on arrival Adam seats the mysterious guy in his workshop whilst he goes to get food and water. In Adams absence, the man sees a soda can sitting on a work bench, in his desperation to feel a liquid of any kind trickle across his lips, he lunges at the can of soda picks it up without thinking and presses the cold aluminium to his dry cracked lips, tips his head back and swallows what very little soda remained, suddenly...he realizes...he just swallowed 29 very sharp but not that sharp xacto blades; shredding his insides within moments, a splutter is heard and then a thud. Adam returns gleefully with a hop in his step thinking he has just saved somebodies life, but oh boy, was he wrong.

    besides, having one of those blades in your mouth is enough to cut you up REAL bad. it wouldn't be fatal, but it'd be very painful and very uncomfortable. in fact, trying to "spit it out" (which is what a regular person would reasonably do in that situation) would probably just put you at greater risk.

    My mom has made a few of these. She's mostly retired from building homes these days, but was a custom home builder and always drew the plans herself from scratch (she had an architect turn her drawings into real plans she could turn in for permits, but she originally drew them all by hand, not using a computer). On several of the really nice ones, including the house I grew up in, she put together foam core builds that were a similar (the same??) scale to this.

    My childhood home was built from the ground up by my dad in 1956, in his spare time, and spare cash, requiring 13 months to complete. He paid $1100 for the lot (100 ft. x 200 ft.) He continually remodeled and made additions over the years. House was 2270 square feet. Eventually the house was sold in 2012 for $140,000. I saved up house plans I’d made by measuring everything. And plenty of photos. Now if I wanted to make a model, I could do it. Only difference is I’m used to using Elmer’s glue with my foamboard.

Use post it note glue (comes in a glue stick at the office and art supply) so it's prepositional and isn't going to drive you crazy getting it down. Do the interior and exterior and it really will be an architectural model.

    +Olav Schneider that would be hella expensive. A much better route is laser cutting the parts out of cardboard/paper. I honestly love the laser cutter so much more than the 3d printer. Im lucky to have them available to me in university, but if you do not have that try googling it. a lot of cities do have places that offer laser cutting that is priced per minute. For me I get it for 1$ a minute, but the local shop does it for 1.5$ so a little bit more. if you are cutting paper or cardboard it won't be too much money. Foam core does not laser cut well though, the core shrinks under the paper making it not very structurally sounds. Another option would be to use a very thin wood.

    As someone who works with foamcore and exacto blades on a daily basis at work, the first rule we were taught (and teach) is to packing tape old blades onto scrap foamcore and then tape some extra scrap on top.

    Hi Adam, instead of cutting the template, drawing the lines, flipping over and drawing the lines again to transfer: it’s way faster to use a projector and projecting the schematic on the foam board to trace it. This way you don’t even have to print the schematic out. Another solution is to use “graphite paper”. This is a thin sheet of graphite you drop between the schematic and the foam board. Now you can directly draw on the schematic and transfer the lines. No need to cut and pre-draw the lines on the schematic.

    I built numerous architectural models from foam-cor while attending architectural school in the early 70s. One technique we used was to spray-glue the full floorpan drawing(s) onto a sheet of foam-cor and cut directly from the attached floorplan print. This eliminates the need to transfer lines to the foam-cor and is quicker and more accurate (IMO). You do the same thing for walls, based on elevation views of the building. This technique also allows the addition of texture symbols (masonry, siding, shingles, etc) and architectural details in a rapid, albeit 2-D fashion. As Adam stated X-acto blades are dangerous - I used a mat knife with a fresh blade for long cuts, and an X-acto only for details like doors, windows, etc.
