Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Mini Machine Vise!
Ғылым және технология
Adam recently learned the joys of machining scrap cast iron, and embarked on the challenging of repurposing a chunk found in the cave into a mini machine vise! It's a weekend build that he documented through timelapse and silent footage, so Adam reflects on that relaxing and satisfying work in narrated commentary. This mini machine vise ends up being an essential component of a more ambitious project that you'll see soon in a future One Day Build!

I've watched every single one of your one day builds, i watch them the moment i notice them on my feed, and this is by far my favourite. There are so many "more interesting" or fun builds but the silent work with the voiceover made this one in particular feel really comforting and intimate. I hope to see more voiceover style one day builds in the future!

@@passage5248 because if it was tv it wouldn't be anything like this. Part of what makes a video like this enjoyable is the minimal editing, messy camera work, and general unprofessional style. It creates a more personal video. It can make you feel closer to whats going on. A tv show works differently, it has its benifits in that much larger scale things can be done you get the added joy of well done camera work, etc. Gonna be honest I'm loveing the less produced videos that are going on. Not to say I didnt enjoy the previous ones, but I love the sense of the videos feeling more personal. There is probably a better word for it.

Love the voice over. Feels like video from “frank makes” on KZread. Frank Howarth has a very similar style
I like how the genuine joy and love of the craft is even conveyed by voiceover. It's perfect weekend material too, not quite as chaotic/energetic and much more relaxed, yet still engaging. Adam is a magnificent host and the rest of the team is awesome as well.
This was really nice! It was refreshing to sit back, watch, and listen to Adam's voice over. I love these home made tools and watching their development in one day builds. Thanks so much for sharing with us Tested and crew!
I cannot express how much I love every time the shot starts with everything in view, then suddenly a tool post, lever or handle obscures the precise focal point. Precise obstruction.
Hell yes Adam. All the machinist out here are cheering you on. This is one of the first real projects you make when in school for manual machining. I made several of these throughout my three or four years of machining school. I took so many machining classes, trying to learn different technologies. Not so much to go to work as a machinist but to help me and my own business and toolmaking. I made an extremely similar group of vices… One made with manual machines, multiple vices made on the CNC mill and lathe, I 3-D printed and lost wax cast a version out of solid bronze, and I even made one using the EDM Machine (electro discharge machining) they are some of the handiest a little vices… I’m glad I made so many.... and so many pairs of V- blocks and parallels. They’re handy for everything from toolmaking, fettling vintage tooling and collectibles… Even small woodworking tasks related to violin and Guitar making. Violin Bow making in particular. Many students passed through classes in the school… they were only there to satisfy their parents… Or because they got free money from the state… Basically paid to go to school.. They weren’t interested in machining whatsoever. So they threw away their projects at the end of the year. I kept so many of them and I’m very glad I did. 15 years later I’m still using them daily. Adam… You’ve been such a influence through my childhood and adult life. I’m now in my mid-30s… And I enjoy watching learn and explore every day. Something that’s been on my mind for a while…… You need to check out some lasers and laser pointer/diodes/High powered fiber lasers and do some videos regarding them. TRUST MEEEEE!!!!! You would absolutely adore the laser Hobby. It’s like it was made for you! It’s your destiny!. The laser hobby includes everything from scientific and physics experiments in your basement… Done with technology that will build our future.... to building custom laser pointers/modules to burn things from a distance or explore the color spectrum. It literally involves everything you are good at. Machining, critical thinking, slight electronica and science knowledge, and a sci-fi loving creative brain! It’s a gold rush out here on the interwebs!!! You can purchase extremely powerful lasers and incredible government level equipment on eBay for pennies on the dollar. Lasers capable of punching a hole through brick. Literally burning stone with nothing but light from a good distance away. Stuff like that can be picked up on eBay all the time for literally pennies on the dollar. A laser module cost and $20,000 we knew a few years ago, can be found for a few hundred bucks! You would love it! You should check out the laser module videos by Marco Reps on KZread… Where he purchases some very high power fiber coupled laser modules and shows what they can do.
Honestly, I really like the video with voice over a lot. Please do this style more often! I watch a knife maker, Green Beetle, who does this and it works well for him also.
Adam Savage and Clickspring, best of 2 worlds!
I always finds great joy in watching Adam build things. And the casual nature of "this is a piece of brass from a boat me and Jammie blew up" lol I love how he can just say stuff like that.
Listening to Adam talk about his builds makes me really miss mythbusters. I have all the seasons but always loved watching the new episodes. Glad I have this to fill the gap.
Clickspring really is a gem of a machinist channel love hearing you take inspiration from him
I really like this format, thank you for the upload. There's been a lot of lovely content out of this channel lately.
@adam savage this build, with you narrating, was very relaxing. incredibly so. i wouldn't mind having this format regularly (intermixed with the regular one). Thanks!
Oh Adam you little tease! My dad recently gave me a little vise that he built in the '70's and I use it almost every day in my work...watching this build has given me a better appreciation for the precision and dedication involved, so thankyou for that
I loved the voiceover video style, I hope you do more of these small intricate builds!
"An actual tool that I'll actually use, that's rare." He says in the video in which he uses the modded band saw and die filer that he recently made. Also "a piece of bronze I salvaged from a boat Jamie and I blew up." is one of the most Adam savage sentences ever.
Adam: As much as I enjoy your one-day builds when you comment in real time, this was also great, and I would love it if you could do more of these and get the opportunity to work on your own, without the pressure of talking to us all the time, and still give us the content we so dearly want. It’s a win-win.
I would not be opposed to seeing more voiced over videos of Adam doing his one day builds. It condenses the video a bit but still gives him the chance to explain his reasoning behind doing a step/process. And if there is a major concept that he wants to explain in "real time" he can work that into the filming too.
I love how "Clickspringy" this build was. Nice work Adam! I loved it!

I swear I could just listen to you talk about projects all day. really love this voice over style video even though i know it wasnt initially your goal.
This might be one of my favourite builds / videos you have done. Love the voice over - amazing work Adam - your machining skills are showing great results from all the hard work.
Please mix these two formats up regularly depending on the build!! The live stuff is invaluable, but this is some amazing, clean and beautiful maker porn. A perfect format for some longer builds.
YAY MORE ONE DAY BUILDS seriously though I love these!
One of the reasons I really enjoy watching Adam is his open delight and energy while talking about what he's doing, it even gets me pumped to start working, even though I'm not a maker (at least of physical things). This video's more introspective feel was an unexpected yet nice surprise: just what I needed now even though I didn't know it yet. Thank you.
The self satisfaction from making any tool is explainable unless you've done it. Thumbs Up!
Doing stuff like this is exactly why I became a machinist.
I really love the voice over, hope you can do more of these type of vids.

I love this format. I like it better because we get more in depth thoughts on the process and you can focus on building.
I don't even know what I would use it for.....but I need it.
Love the format of this build- casual video and audio after as a talk-over. Probably one of the best!
I can't wait to see the whole thing once it is all done.. 🙌
The little mention of clickspring was awesome. Love his machining
Hey Adam, I recently rewatched your blade runner gun case build video, and you mentioned that you REALLY wanted to build Leon's case from The Professional. Are we ever going to get that one day build video? Would love to see that, and I'm hoping the squeaky wheel gets greased...
You are an incredible source of inspiration. We can feel how powerful the passion is when you talk about creative process in your work, and this is priceless. Such an example for all the creative people out there, thank you mr Savage !

Thank you for this episode. It brought back memories of Junior College when I was at Santa Monica City College taking a machine shop class. We call it screwdriver 101. My first project was a base C-clamp for a dial indicator with threaded holes and notches the clamp things to. Everything had to be done by hand. With the exception of machine turning the surface if you got that far. Teacher liked my example so much he put it in the display case and I just forgot they ever get it out of there

Absolutely love it. The clapper board at the front of the video is quite cool, but ODB means something different to me.... The clickspring inspiration is definitely visible through this and I love to see what is clearly Adam using the time alone in the shop to develop new techniques and expand the workshop tooling, you've gotta have your vices... I'm inspired by the enthusiasm... I really want to get back into my workshop and start building things again, about a year ago I had to use it as "temporary" storage so I haven't really been able to use it as a workshop, I am finally clearing out the junk and this is keeping me motivated with that process... Thanks again Adam, you are such an inspiration.
I found that I really liked the format of this video, with Adam not talking on-screen, but narrating it in voiceover.
“SuVICE to say”
Hey Adam ive loved watching your one (multiple) day builds since the beginning! The added commentary over silent weekend adam is really good no need to disturb the adam in his natural habitat of making! Love you Adam keep making!
I really like this sort of video, where you explain the technique in depth. Thank you, Adam! Would love more vids like this.
Adam, you're an inspiration. Thank you for being yourself even when you'd rather be someone lazier and more boring. Cheers.
When I wen't to school to become a machinist, a vise pretty much like this was the first thing I got the plans for and made! And I have to say that for me, it too opened up my eyes and the confidence to go on and build way more complicated things. Great Video!
Teasing, love it. I also love watching click spring, so much amazing work. Love the vise.
Hearing your unbridled enthusiasm for taking an old defunct object and turning it into something new and usable again, I feel like you would get a lot of joy out of channels like "hand tool rescue" and the like.
I actually really like the voiceover Adam, It brings what you're doing to life, as well as being able to hear what you think about your work in hindsight is really interesting
I have never felt more relaxed than when I was listening to this voiceover. Love it!
I really enjoyed this. Way more than I expected, had a smile on my face 90%of the Runtime.
I love the silent footage and commentary - it's like watching an old Super 8 movie with Adam.
I really liked this format with the voice over. But in the end it doesn't matter how the video is shot, Adam's builds are always enjoyable to watch.
So satisfying to watch you work through a one day build, pulling out tool after tool that were previous one day builds.
That's a great looking vise!! Love the blueing process, something i still have to try out myself one day. I remember the days of porting cast iron cylinders. Horrible stuff, the dust got everywhere, and i got through one rotary tool after another. Then everyone switched to aluminium cylinders, which was a revelation. Did one cast iron cylinder again a couple of years ago and immediately regretted it, lol!
Love to see the bluing done that way, so satisfying. Those are always my favorite parts of watching the Clickspring builds.
I love how much this makes my attention to detail justified.... Thanks for that Adam!
I love watching your stuff. Thank you for putting it on KZread for all of us to enjoy. Keep up the amazing work.
Oh man, really enjoying the whole narration style. The best of both worlds, the making and the reflecting you do at the same time. You should really do more of these!
It's actually a satisfying feeling watching you use the tools we watched you build in the previous episodes. Also the voice over videos are fine, with those you can blast music while your working and not worry about those pesky copyrights, and it's still an awesome episode.
It's always good to recognize and accept your vises.
Can't wait to see the rest of the build, this looks awesome! Love it! So cute!
Wow, the precision in that vise is amazing!
Fantastic video - great format too. I remember when I was an engineer in the milling and turning department the master machinist had a beautifully ground vice they had made - this video reminded me of this
I knew you'd see the light on Carbide cutters eventually lol. They're awesome, and just like Ceramic they work great on all different types of materials. Great little build as always Mr Savage 👍👍
I would love to see more of your sketchbooks! It would be really inspiring and interesting to watch different ideas and sketches you have made for different projects 😊 keep up the good work!
This is too satisfying..especially when he fits the pieces together.
Congratulations Adam! It's really a great one day build! Really nice looking gorgeous tool! Bravo!
Clickspring is awesome, so glad you enjoy his work too. Before he died, my grandfather and I often discussed projects over the phone (he was back in blighty, im living in Australia) and Clickspring was one of our favourite topics towards the end. My grandfather taught me to use an engineering lathe when I was around 8 and i apprenticed as a wood Turner at 16. The lathe i learnt on was issued to my great grandmother during the war for her to wind tungsten filaments for searchlights at home, it lived in the kitchen. My grandfather was chief designer and engineer for Vintens, a company specialising in military and broadcast equipment. The official secrets act prevented him telling us some of the things he did until just before he died. It seems he was a lot more involved than we first thought. He was a gentleman and a wonder. Im blessed to have known him and have the early education he gave. I enjoy remembering him in all of the projects i work on (i now do a wide variety of work, a lot of engineering and fabrication of things) and it's lovely to see yourself and others like Chris so enthusiastic about what they're doing. Thanks! Pleasant Sunday viewing through a happy couple of tears. Dan

In your last live episode you where talking about what one considers is art. This is pure art! Amazing Adam! Yes that is a tool you'll use but also it's so beautiful in how precise it is. It can easily just sit on the table to look at. Amazing that you used just scraps and created that. Shows how much skill you have
The moment I discovered that I can make my own tools, it was a shift of paradigm, and not only have bring extra functionally to my making process, but true joy. Thanks Adam, this was great.
Such precision and tight machine work, a lovely build!
I really like this format of video! You should do more of these!
Cool. Takes me back to when I was 18 and making a similar vise during my engineering apprenticeship. It hasn't seen much use in the past thirty-two years but now that I've rekindled my model making hobby it's sitting on my work table patiently waiting to help out :)
I didn't expect it, but this is one of my favorite one-day-builds yet! so cool!
I like the format of Adam doing the voice over. Still keep the mistakes in too. Mistakes are how we learn.
The person who inherits Adam's workshop and tools is going to be the happiest one on the face of the Earth for many many years.
This voice over method was really refreshing! Hopefully we can hear you mix up this style more on upcoming videos!
You can see how happy this makes you. Its great.
