Hey Adam! having almost 30 years in manufacturing, one skill I have learned and became very proficient in is EDM (electical discharge machining). The wire EDM process would have given you a perfect hole on both ends of the barrel. I know you don't have a wire edm in the shop, but this wasn't truly a "one day build" so you could have done it for this part of the process. You do have the mind of a machinist and I love that about you sir!

That music cut in the middle of the barrel drilling montage made the bottom of my stomach drop out.

I can totally relate to Adam's distractions in the middle of a statement. Even while trying to convey one idea, others are constantly pinging around in my skull, and come to the forefront at the most inconvenient times.

Often I sit and watch builds of yours and shout at you "do that again dammit, I know you can do better !!". But this build has just blown me away. Fantastic thank You

It’s ok to jump up and down when a bore turns out that perfect. I certainly would have

I've just begun watching this, but I had to stop and say that I was so moved when you said that part of your inspiration for this build was the passing of Grant Imahara. You no doubt have already heard this many times, but besides being just fun to watch, you and your crew felt like family when we watched Mythbusters (in my case, at least, because I could see myself in many of the things you all did), and it was utterly devastating when Grant died. He will always be an inspiration. And now on to watching the rest...

I'm watching Adam make the Samaritan again. I watched them as they were coming out, but I felt the need to watch it again. Watching Adam Savage do ANYTHING, seeing the joy in his face when things work out, ever since I was a kid watching mythbusters, I have thought of him when I mess up. Because then I want to do better, be better, and be joyful like Adam appears to be. You're an inspiration Adam Savage.

Dear Adam: Here's an old machinist's trick you may not know. Before undertaking a precision drilling operation, roll your drill bits on a set of parallel bars, a granite, or some other ground surface. Any wobble your bits may have will be very apparent-any bend will keep it from rolling. This should always be one of your first steps if using a drill bit instead of an endmill for drilling.

@@Andrewlang90 True, that really is one of the cool things about machining, especially with today's tech. There's so many possible ways to do the same operations, it's fun to try and find the most simple/safe/stupid ways to do things.

I miss myth busters. Big part of my childhood and I remember the intro like the back of my hand. Every time I rewatch my favorite episodes with grant I can’t help but being sad about the bright mind we lost.

Tip for anyone making this. When you make the barrel, and have a lathe, when you drill it, use a lathe to finish it with a boring bar. Easier to get to finish size quicker. Much less headache of swapping it back and forth. Use a centre drill to start the drill to stop it from walking.

little tip: when drilling aluminium it is recommended to use the W type drill bits. they have a flute angle of around 40° and a tip angle of 130°. These bits are very good at drilling aluminium. Very little resistance and they evacuate the chips properly which leaves much nicer interior finishes.

Damn, Adam. Getting that meet-up hole almost perfect on the first try.

That was some dumb luck. If I had to choose between being lucky or being good I have to go with luck every time. Because you can only be so good but luck knows no bounds.

Adam and jamie and the while crew of myth busters has been a big show i used to watch as a kid thanks for the good memories

Adam is your favourite uncle. I swear, I'd come spend my whole day in that workshop. Again and again and again.

The level of precision that he's going to here, he could build a fully functional barrel.

Yeah. I'd be inclined to drill from both ends, but not all the way through, to avoid problems.

Getting your dimensions exactly what you wanted them to be is super satisfying

When you hear Adam mention that he thought he wasn’t good enough of a machinist, gave me one part depression on my end and one part sympathy towards him, knowing that even Adam Savage has doubts.

You've done Hellboy cosplay when are you going to do Abe Sapien cosplay? Can't wait for the one day build of the case for the Samaritan.

Adam Savage's and Hellboy.....HELL YEAH!!!

Wow! Sitting here watching you bringing back so many memories. I can smell your shop from my chair. Beautiful work and yes the feeling when you build a piece is unbelievable. I spent 45 years + as a machinist. 20 years in the Marine Corp were I was the guy that unscrewed the mistakes of mechanics from trucks, weapon systems and AC. I than retired and worked at a Avation Depot for 25+ years and it was fantastic. I retired before the F35 came into the fleet. Love all the shows that you were in and still watch reruns on Mythbusters. Stay well!

Give that man a BELLS. Very beautiful piece of art! Grant is looking down with a big smile!!!

RIP Grant. He would have been ecstatic to see and touch this thing.

The 1855 10 gauge revolver video reminded me of this video.

There is something deeply satisfying in the idea of marking fluid...

I was only going to watch the first few minutes or so, but as you went through the build your thoughtful commentary and attention to detail with the prop (I had no idea a gun like a break-action revolver could be so complex) truly hooked me all the way to the end! Excellent build!
