Having lived through any number of projects like this myself, I give Adam the highest praise for having the courage to show a less-than-ideal outcome for a build. Very often it goes more something like this than it goes perfectly the first time. This video is both a great demo of process and the fact that, even though the tools may be precision, we humans are not. We work with the best info we have, in the time we have, to get the best result that we can. I like this guy. I like the way he thinks. He doesn't need my praise, but I had to say how I feel.

I'd have to say his level of engineering expertise puts him in a class of man most aspire to actually achieve. I mean stick him and a body builder on a deserted island and it would be a no contest on who has the better chance of survival.

For a Mac use illustrator. Make the art board to the massive size you need then in printer properties set your print size to letter. Your art board will then show a bunch of ghost letter size outlines breaking up your art board. That sizing formula is spot-on. I used to use that as an artist to size up or down on a stat camera. It was also useful to size up roughs to transfer to boards for paintings. It’s amazing how many of those old tricks I use today when designing products.

Words cannot fully express how happy this video made me. I worked for over a decade as a Welder/Millwright in a metal fabrication shop. The number of times people brought in a picture (or several) and said "can you build this?" and it not be the same when they get it home and match it to other pieces they had was amazing. It is NEVER as easy as it seems to build from an unscaled not dimensioned photo and get it perfect.

First time I find a ODB within 10 mins and its a lightsaber. Perfect.

My Grandmother as a sign in her home that read... "The Hurrier you go, the behinder you get." That explains the issue with the mess up.

37:23 It's amazing that he knows (almost) where all of his tools are stored.

I've been binging on older vids that I might have half-watched or skipped or missed in the past - and I'm amused that Adam calls this inaccurate and kinda gives up on it out of perfectionism. If 99.99999% of us non-machinists had made that we'd be overjoyed at the outcome. The fact that the end thingy was actually a faucet knob on the original was something I didn't know, so it amuses me more to see all the effort to replicate a movie prop that was kinda thrown together out of found parts. I believe the legend is the other part was made from one of those old Speed Graphic 4x5 camera flash things that held batteries to fire flash bulbs. Before I knew that back in the 80s I can remember passing over boxes of those things in a second hand camera shop looking for stuff like that for an old Speed Graphic camera I had. I would have bought the box if I knew!

Adam is a national treasure. It’d be awesome to just hang out with this dude for a day.

wow I wasn't expecting to see Adam so truly disappointed. These are honest mistakes showing his vulnerable side. That makes me like him even more.

For tiling you can import the image into excel and turn on page lines. You can also use the grid sizing to help size/center.

I felt this episode in my soul. How many projects have I invested hours into, only to realize that something went terribly wrong along the way? Then you have the terrible options of A, gritting your teeth and try to salvage what you can, or B, chucking it in the bin and starting all over again. It's endlessly frustrating. So I appreciate Adam taking the time to show us exactly that. It sounds cliche, but it shows me, a 100% self-taught amateur, that the pros have the same problems in the workshop as I do. Frustrating for them, maybe, but reassuring for me; it can be daunting to see pro after pro post a video of one flawless process after another! PS: Adam, if you're reading this, I actually really appreciated the object lessons in scaling, tiling, parallaxing, and yes, even the math you showed us. I have always struggled, and will always struggle, with numbers, but seeing them illustrated helps a ton. Even after all these years, you continue to teach me a lot!

I don't know anyone who has made every project petfectly! This is how craftspeople grow and learn, and this has certainly made me embrace my failures a big more! Thanks for the wonderful lesson Adam

Adam use rasterbator.net to tile images. I've used it many many times in the past to make giant posters of images that dont exsist. I hope this helps. There are also versions of the program you can use to print 3d objects on paper then cut out the pieces and glue them together into 3d objects. Another thing I used in the past before 3D printers where easy to get.

As someone else mentioned, there is cut right before he tapes it down. If you watch the paper closely, you will see it get misaligned right before the cut, and then it "magically" becomes perfectly aligned when the cut hits, and you can see the perfect alignment once the tape is down. It's pretty subtle.

I will absolutely seek out your personal design lightsaber build, because having built one myself at Savi’s Workshop, I’m becoming slightly obsessed with lightsabers and builds. Thanks for sharing this!

Man I just loved this one, especially when you explained scaling, it’s almost as if percentages are reversible lol. Ive done this with so many applications in my head, I followed every step and knew exactly what you were going. But I’ve never seen it quantified so simply. & Nice touch with the diagonal matching technique. I used to survey and overlay several plats on top of each other. It makes so much more sense to connect multiple lines diagonally than shorter straight lines in parallel. But when you went on to explain parallaxes, it blew my mind a bit, and I immediately googled it. …it’s not a 2D scale image…but a 2D image of a 3D object from one angle. 🤔 now I’m thinking of all the times I didn’t know the word for what I was seeing.

Its truly amazing what you do and not everything has to be perfect all the time, having the humility to say "this isnt right and its not exactly what I wanted" takes a different skill and we are here with you for the succsesses and for the failure, no matter what! :)

Adam: I stubbled onto this post and am grateful for doing so. I graduated from a technical high school with a major in electronics and oddly enough machine shop. I found that mechanical fabrication training assisted me in my career as an Implant Maintenance Eng (Ion implanters are used to dope silicon wafers in chip fabrication). Watching you use lathe and horizontal mill and your skills in layout and set up just kept me engaged. Finally your ability to recover from a mistake(s); completing the task is valuable training to the inexperienced youth. Randy

OOOH! Posterazor is an amazing program for scaling! They even have a webtool! I use it all the time to make pdfs of battlemaps that can be printed on A4 and then taped together!

it's completely insane to me how you can obsess over something that *might* be a couple of thousands of an inch out, but then in the following sentence say that you're 'just going to eyeball' something

Mr. Savage you did an amazing job teaching about how to not barrage yourself with negative self talk because something isn't right whether by you making a mistake or an accident from unknown source. You also taught that you shouldn't quit because of a mistake or accident but learn from it & persevere as the end result will be a reminding example of the lessons you've learned.

Whilst it wasn’t what you’d hoped to show, I found it incredibly useful. As someone starting out, I’d not appreciated the pitfalls and limitations of using reference images. Thanks for the ‘warts-n-all’ video.

Jeez i completely forgot about that meme.

Thank you for posting a video like this that shows all of the mistakes and frustrations that you encounter. It really gives hope to the rest of us who don't have the luxury of video editors while we create.

Honestly this whole video feels like a Jedi lesson

Yes I'm here after The Mando S2 Finale, what a great show!

Merit badge idea: oil can with a red slash across - for when you put off regular maintenance of a tool until it fully breaks down.

The diagonal cut o. The tiled pictures just blew my fricken mind! Can't tell you how many times I've struggled with this.

OMG! I thought I was alone in hating how hard it is to scale print jobs. Thanks for voicing this struggle @adam savage.

At the beginning of the build, the whole time I'm sitting here thinking in excitement , "how the hell is he going to machine those crenulations in one solid piece?"

Hey Adam, you can easily tile up images in Illustrator, where you can have multiple pages showing up on the same window, you can arrange them as you want and then simply put your image in the file If I was unclear feel free to respond me

yeah sure. But should that kind of thing really require a piece of software that's like 60 bucks a month?

Nothing more satisfying than manual lathe work

Your craftsmanship and skill are beyond belief.

Adam Savage is the wisest, and most genuine public figure I can think of. I respect this guy so much.

I've come to think of him as the Fred Rogers of making. Incredibly intelligent, empathetic, respectful, & kind. Willing to share mistakes for the benefit of others. All around, an excellent role model.

This build was really beautiful to me because it showed me that even seasoned professionals still make the mistakes that I do, and that ultimately it is ok to make those mistakes.

Love adam and his love for engineering and such u can see how it always makes him happy

The fact that i can sit here and watch a hour long video of mostly b-roll and some commentary really shows the quality of the content... and Adam of course.
