All the time. I forget where I heard it but the joke is that when using cardboard to prototype, you are using CAD (cardboard aided design)

Real question. Why dont you just buy/utilize a seperate site for display of things as a small "prop etc. museum" where you can cache your stuff and charge public a reasonable fee to see cool stuff? Plus sell tested merch and whatnot in the little shop. Cause everything needs a little shop.

I'm glad to hear you're making arrangements for all your things when you've passed on. Most people don't know how incredibly difficult and overwhelming that can be.

Especially when you have as much stuff as Adam has. Stuff that is unique enough that it'd be really easy to overlook or underestimate the value of unless you know EXACTLY what you're looking at. That estate would be a HANDFUL.

I thought it was interesting that he mentioned that. When I am stuck trying to figure something out in the shop and things have gotten completely out of control, I have this habit of thinking about what someone might wonder was going on if I died right at this moment based on the chaos of things in the shop. It usually gives me a good laugh before I can reset my brain and get back to work.

When i film my builds, it may take slightly longer setting camera up, but then when camera is rolling I work quicker & more focused. Framing the shot helps 'frame' that specific task in my mind. The *biggest* time sink though is watching the footage repeatedly afterwards!

i figured there would be a factor of reduced speed that is applied when he is filming non-time-lapsed since he has his music off, but maybe the percent difference is small enough to basically not matter

The reorganization project reminds me of "Swedish Death Cleaning." Decluttering your stuff so it's less of a burden for whoever has to deal with it when you die.

As someone currently dealing with the loss of a family member who was also a high functioning hoarder with a cluttered workshop, I appreciate you talking about confronting that. I am in the same boat and while I'm young and otherwise healthy I am still sadly aware of how quickly that can change and how hard it is to process grief while also managing a mismanaged estate. I would love to leave my next of kin with a thorough catalog of my belongings and what I wish to be done with them. As morbid as it may sound to others I think it is a great goal to work towards.

That sounds like a much better material to do curves with. Versus a material that was designed not to bend.

Not only is cardboard great for planning out builds I like to turn cardboard into paper mache-like for projects. Many small strips are placed over a form while wet. Once dried it is easily sandable. You can even make parts in segments and secure them later to make complex shapes. The mask I made in class is hard enough to survive a decent hammer blow. Which was a requirement to remove the clay form from under the mix and strips.

I have my mask on the wall, it was beaten with a hammer and sprayed with a powered sink hose to get the clay out. -Create a rude form of what you want out of water-based sculpting clay onto a piece of MDF wood. -Rip cardboard, paper, junk mail, anything you want to use to roughly 1 in. Mix your paper mache mix, I use 2 different mixes, water with flour, Water with flour and light glue. Essential oil drops may be added to fight mold and the smell that happens with the mix interacting with the clay. Mint is a good one. -Soak a few strips in W/F mix and apply each strip in overlapping figures onto the form. Extend the strips onto the wood, past the clay. The first few layers spread father out. This can give you a lip to build off of when connecting extra parts or just to help pressure the down the paper mix that is higher on the clay. -To store overnight, cover one final layer with dry/rough paper strips, slide the project into an open-ended bag. Resume with a soaked sheet back onto the top. -When you feel about midway into the project start using the second mixture with the white glue also added to saturate the strips remembering to really push them down onto the previous layers and keep crossing new and old. You can alienate between the two mixes after a few coverings. -Once you are almost done switch to the glue mixture and use that for the final few layers. Let this dry at least 2 days. -Pry the mask off and flip it over. The clay inside may be hard to leather hard now. If you can wait another day to expose it, do so. -Otherwise, go to a trashcan and hit the mask with a hammer along the paper-covered part to shatter the constraining clay inside. -Once all the clay is out, if there is clay still in a precision spray hose can blast out the clay but sometimes just more waiting and chipping with a screwdriver works well. -You can now work on the underside of the mask. Fill it with more paper mixture and strips, add drywall compound, or poor in resin. Paint and coat if you like.

Who wouldn't love that Adam had a wearhouse 13 full of cool stuff he made that you could pay to visit. Ya know if he had such a place he would start making life size models, like an 1:1 scale of an X-wing.

If you slightly dampen one side of cardboard you can peel it off and put that side on the inside of the curve. It makes it so it curves much nicer and easier. Carboard with a picture or plasticy side will be a smoother outside surface.

I know its not a nice topic to touch on Adam but i always wondered as i do with all the stuff we all collect blindly as we look toward the future , what happens when our candle is blown out . Its the ones who care that now have the burden you have left them so make it as easy as you can . And with your collection Adam we are looking at quite a legacy that books will be written about and parts of the collection auctioned off at amazing prices or more preferably on a museum floor dedicated to the Savage collection ..

Seeing a series called "Billy bookcase Organization Bookcase 1" and have it run through all 14 would be a treat, and a chill story time for adam to go through not all but some of the pieces he has so much love for.

I don't know how you manage to do so many videos and keep being entertaining, insightful, and informative! It's a testament to how much you've done and experienced

I am just waiting for Mr. Savage to realize there is only *one* solution to his prop-display woes, and that is to establish the «Adam Savage Museum of Awesome» where everything is stored, displayed, showcased and curated like a museum based on the same esthetic principles as the cave ;) This should be a totally viable business, capable of sustaining itself for years to come :)

Large weapon storage: You should build a rack for tools or normal looking prop weapons and at a push of a button raises up and reveals your sci-fi weapons ala Men In Black

Adam, it is easy to solve your problem. You should create your own museum; so your collection can live there after you leave this plane of existence.

Thank you for these videos Adam and team tested

I really love the one day builds that Adam films himself, they feel somehow more personal or something like that. Of course I like every type of filming but those just feel special to me 😊

Any advice for painting FDM printed parts?

Make a series of the display cases!!!! “One day build of *insert category* display” and then finish the episode with hanging on the wall in the shop! Two birds one stone.

Just commented this! It would be great!

this will never get seen but, if anyone would have a push button spy armory like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it would be Adam Savage. Could you imagine walking into his shop, seeing all his tools and his building areas, he hits a button and his whole workshop transforms into the armory of all his builds? With how custom his shop is, his ability, and the dead spaces he has, he is a prime candidate for this.

This summer we plan to build my O gauge train table in our new basement. Your recommendations on cardboard was helpful. The background will be cardboard buildings and aging is easy with cardboard.

I aspire to be a "High functioning hoarder" as I am the low functioning kind.

I’m at the stage where I’m trying not to be a hoarder. I would love to have the space to display everything I could acquire or could make, but when your only place is your living space, decisions have to be made. Every thing I think of that I could make and everything I see that I could acquire, or even the pretty things I see while shopping has a few questions I ask about it to myself: - Do I have a need for it? - Is it suitable for display? - Do I have a place to put it? - Do I have the funds for it? Usually the answer is no to most of these questions I ask myself, so I usually don’t make it or acquire it.

Oh I'm making swamp boxes for work. Might want to touch on them!!!

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

That would be a cool video, to watch you organize your shelves.

While I know she hasn't posted anything in a while, due to designing/build a new work studio, the KZreadr 小芊枫 XiaoQianFeng has done a lot of projects using a lot of cardboard, including cosplay.

I'm a box and display designer for 27 years. Using an ellipse with pointed ends, not sure how to describe it, will get you the curvature you need.

You should open a Adam Savage Collection Museum for all the props and collector items that you have made and collected over your years.

Cardboard armor reminds me of the scene in Mel Brooks' History of The World Part 1 The Roman Empire when Comicus is trying to defend himself and yells, "I'm fighting with cardboard!"

It comes for us all

The filming may not take long, but the editing that can really be a pain.

Whatcha doing with the Spectre cane skull there?

I would love to watch Adam revisit a ODB he wants to improve. Would be interesting to hear his thought process and how he came to the conclusions he did. I think this is similar to the replication problem in academia. Everyone is so focused on doing something new, there are fewer people trying to replicate experiments and as such a lot of things slip through the cracks. You never step in the same river twice. How does Adam now view this object vs the Adam that conceived of V1?

depending on the size you are searching for, those "arms" are used for applying cooling liquid on a mill/drill/lathe ... but you can put sth like piano wire?! in it to stiffen it up and mount something to the end like a smartphone holder

I’ll ask again, is there a listing of Adam’s collections, which he refers to here?

can you do or is there an episode from Mythbusters or similiar shows proving animals like bears etc. have a great scence of smell since people worry about animals attacking humans or coming to their spaces like cabins or homes based on how they can smell from far away like a bear can smell food from 4 miles away and a moth can smell a mate from 20km away ?

Hello can you build your own airsoft or gel blaster?

You should do an Adam Savage Museum of builds, open to the public. By now you must have enough items to display :-)

Good remark on his problem with all his stuff. You gotta remember that Adam isn't THAT young anymore as you remember from Mythbusters while being not THAT old guy. He's born in 1967. So that's quite a good age to think about stuff what happens when you are no longer roaming this Earth. Life is precious and can be over at any second. 🚀✌️

"That I obtained...somehow" - and I'll tell you when the statute of limitations runs out! lol

As someone who makes it everyday, it’s called corrugated paper 😂

Personally I would find revisits to One Day Builds interesting and valuable to all levels and kinds of makers!

Adam, will you do one more mythbuster? A dropped searcher will determine the radius of the looked for item. Send out a search party!

The pool table is gone?! so where did the giant t-rex light go? :)

I wonder how you got onto the Bundy ginger beers Adam? 🤔🤔

I feel like I saw a nightmare flash behind Adam's eyes thinking about cardboard.

Is that bloody Bundaberg Ginger eff-ing beer?

I read that as self-loathing makes build go longer... and I was like, "duh"

Is that Bundaberg Ginger Beer in the bottom left?

Practice probably. Adam is an old hat at this point for building while filming. He also has paid editors so that time probably wasn't even considered.

Basically you need your own museum 😀

Inquiring Minds want to know when will the Adam Savage Collection go on display? Your own Savage Gallery. People would buy tickets to Oogle & Drool over your Stuff! Setting this up now you'd have control over how and the context ofhow items are displayed. Also offering in depth knowledge of each piece that could be documented. Just Saying!

Question. How do I build this? Answer. Just build it three or four times and you'll figure it out. This should be the answer to a lot more questions.

Adam! Do you realize the solution to your hoarding is to build a museum?!? That’s your next shop-move, mate… find a space that will give you a gallery/showcase worthy of (and expandable for) your ever-growing collection of crafts, props and memorabilia! The second you began to lament “what to do with all this crap?” in the video I immediately thought you could build a “Museum of Everything Else” like Sam Battle/Look Mum No Computer did with vintage technology… except, of course, you’ll call it “Savage somethingorother” and fill it with all your props and accomplishments.

I hear Guillermo del Toro has a 2nd house just for "stuff" :-).

I once made a pretty reasonable Boba Fett helmet with cardboard, paper and wood and I got it right on the first try. But that was probably a massive fluke.

I've come to the point that a work shop is NOT what you need its a warehouse and as you said your a hoarder, my dad is or was one and won't admit it.... and the garage never had a car in or a bike or a push bike... maybe bits of the later that's if you could get into the darn thing it took him nearly 2 months to empty it when he sold his house... I think you should start to SELL your work, I'm sure there would be many who would buy, and keep the SPECIAL stuff... your family can either keep when you leave this mortal coil or have a massive sale and become millionaires :)

Personally, I Hope you are like a Highlander........ That way, you can build stuff that you find fascinating For a Very Long time.

I'm thinking you need to open a museum at a separate location.

Some Japanese even made a full Gundam cockpit and working Nerf gun with cardboard.

The other name for a high functioning hoarder is a museum. Maybe get some professional museum-collection-organization/storage help? I'm sure you have contacts in one or two museums...

The KZread Mistakes, the continually in this video are driving me nuts lol, that bottle man, the paper, keep the time order correct ;-) now I know why he doesn't normally have food or drink in shots.

Oddly enough, although I like Adam and enjoy his "company", I've decided to unsub. My favorite people here stick a camera somewhere (several times) and go for it. They edit and upload. Try Diesel Creek. KZread has been GOOD to him and he has Patreon patrons. I'm certain it's been much better to you. My problem is you're running a business. You need so many people and justify it as "not an efficient use of your time" to do the mundane things. Also, Norm never let 10 words do the job when 1000 can be used. Boring despite some fascinating content. IF I were a theatre or some other media prop maker I'd find your channel useful. I design and build civil engineering infrastructure; roads and bridges that will outlast me by decades. I find your methods to be slapdash, too hurried (without cause) to be safe or even completed with minimal craftsmanship. KZread is too full to waste time just because I like your on camera character. I also went through 9 "Spot" videos to find the tenth was "for members only". That sir, is greed.
