I have lymphoma, on chemotherapy. This all sounds so silly. Photos of crap.

Maker Nightmares featuring Adam Savage, is a gold mine you can get at least three seasons of compelling episodes. Start with fellow KZreadr makers and go from there.

I’d watch that, but I’d be disappointed if multiple episodes focused on methods and tooling so I want a title that locks them more in to the “organizing your maker space” episodes.

the archiving organization is something I picked up from my dad. He has hundreds of tools he has collected over decades of being a mechanic, building his own home, doing all the plumbing and electric himself. The one thing he has never failed to do was save every single manual from every tool he owns, and keeps them well preserved in a filing cabinet. His reasoning, " Someday I will be gone, and my children are going to have all of these tools, they are going to need to know how they work, how to repair them, and how to use them." and that is one of the most inspiring things I have ever heard him say. To this day, no matter how trivial a device, I too save every single manual, from every single gadget, and I keep them safe and sound for anyone who comes after me.

Yes! I used to have a bunch of things from my childhood that were super sentimental but still brought back good memories. When I needed to purge some stuff, I just started taking photos of some things then added them to an album. Means just as much to me & takes up so much less stuff, and allowed me to hold onto the few items that I just can't part with.

There should be a whole series on Tested with Adam going over those old pictures he has of stuff he built long ago! :)

Oh, good god, Adam, I SO want to see that show! Stores Wars, ToolBox Hell, Tools Deluxe, First Principle: Store No Harm, Your Junk My Way, More Than One Screwdriver, Cave Dynamics For Everyperson! Just a few ideas... I'd settle for the pilot... !

Adam I'd be really interested to learn more about how your dad photographed his artwork. I would like to similarly preserve (and share) paintings from both my grandmothers.

I heard it from an old boss from Hong Kong about 15 years ago, and I often repeat it: You pay for the floorspace. Airspace is free.

Your shop advice has been invaluable for my own projects and improving my maker space! Thank you for sharing so much Passion and Joy!! You are all Beautiful people and you make the world Brighter everyday!!!

Thank you. Great advice on taking pictures. I guess the one thing common about "makers" like us, or misconception is that we don't make things for ourselves, but for others and we receive joy from the journey of creating.

Taking photos of your creations is undoubtedly a great way to keep a record of your makes. If you are making objects with volume, whether individual models, dioramas, tools or other objects, look into the ability to create 3D models from photographic sources. As the world of auto-stereoscopic 3D display continues to improve (consider the Looking Glass technology seen on the channel recently), having virtual 3D representations of your work will become ever more pleasing.

I think the original Doctor Octopus arms are really amazing puppets, especially because you had coordinate 4 puppeteers AND Alfred Molina (or his stunt double(s)) to make it work. I know switching them to CGI for “No Way Home” made it easier but I’m in JJ Abrams/Christopher Nolan camp, if you can do it for real, do it for real, save CGI for things that can’t be done for real, or would just destroy the budget if you did it real (cue Nolan driving a real airplane into a building!)

archiving is important to many objects. art, shop projects, antiques, and especially photographs! always have a note attached or a reference number or something so people know what's what.

"Adam Savage Makes Your Space" Would love to see that show.

Ahh, The Muppets. Lew Grade (the UK-based television owner) who gave them the break, and the lalent, willing to relocate to the UK to make it happen, but who, cleverly, kept it a very real USA-invention and process. What a history, what an accomplishment! Thank you for naming it!

I was pleased to find earlier Saturday, that the storage unit I still had contained much more than I recalled (things were complicated)...the main body of my "collection" of tools and memorabilia is still gone, but I have reacquired enough more recent things that will help move on...plans and projects never fade, they're just put off...✌️♥️🌎👍

Love ya Adam. Legend

Would love a series where you show off and talk through a set of photos of something you made a long time ago.

Thanks for the video

I wouldnt mind episode of Adam going through the pictures of his older projects he mentioned, it would be really interesting to see how the "maker adam" evolved over time ... we once dug up our old school notes from high school and such, and it was really cool seeing how we used to think, make notes, learn stuff ..

Very good advice photographing your work. Now with smart phones we can document the process without any hassle.

I fully think that adam should start a podcast it just so interesting listening to him!

Great point I always give for shelving which gets a huge amount of crap off the floor. I often see shelving thrown out on the side of the road but there comes a time when you can't take it with you. I have a whole shed full of tools that I am too old to use now. I should just sell it all and buy precious metals with the proceeds.

I recently fell into a leathercraft-shaped rabbit hole. All of my tools are second hand (my round knife is from 1861, Georgia). I purposely sought them out because a) quality and b) the patina shows you how to hold the tool properly. Sell them on eBay or some similar site. Use the proceeds to go on a holiday - use the tools to build some memories. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

I would totally buy a big high quality book of Adam's projects. It could be a cool timeline to see.

Maker Space Nightmare's with Adam Savage.............Hell Yes

MakerSpace Nightmares ! Yes ! Would absolutely watch !

i've always wondered if there was ever a prop Adam worked on for a movie that he wishes he'd taken more reference photos of cuz he's found himself wanting to remake the prop down the line for his own collecion and ended up unable to remember/find photos of a particular side of it

Adam Kondo!! I’m ready for it!

All the Muppets! ❤️

Great video and insight. Have you ever thought of putting out a picture book of some of you projects that you have created and recorded on film since the age of 16. It would be really interesting to see the growth and span of where you started and where you have reached. We are talking about a period of under 40 years and I am sure that every project wouldn’t be covered but I feel that it would be so incredible to see the journey. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Adam, I found modern, currently in production, Triangular Ergonomic Handled Screw Drivers like you mentioned in a previous "Ask Adam Savage" episode. Tekton makes Triangular Screw Drivers of many head types for their Extra Torq line of screw drivers. Their normal line of Screw Drivers uses Square Automotive Mechanics like handles. And the Screw Drivers are completely made in the USA & are of reasonable prices. For their other tools, if they aren't made in the USA, they'll mention on their website which part is made from where. No more mysterious "Assembled from Global Materials" BS. They're honest about where they source their parts.

Fantastic

Those pictures as a coffee table book of the evolution of a maker would be cool

Just watched the baby scene from Eraser Head and it was pretty wild.

Right now we're in the middle(?!) of downsizing the apartment that we've lived in for the past 25-ish years. I've been channeling my inner mixed-media artistic needs into creating a hand-made wardrobe (including belts). Until the final amount of space I have to work with is (finally) revealed, I'm keeping the makes down to what I can wear in the world. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

A large part of what you mention with "archive it" is metadata about the artifact. Someone has said "metadata is a love note to the future."

YES YES DO THE SHOW ADAM, NOW IS THE TIME TO ORGANIZE SPACES FOR A TV SHOW

I rewatched Little Shop Of Horrors not long ago, forgot how good it was, and how incredibly funny the dentist scene is. Also forgot that Seth MacFarlane spoofed it in Family Guy lol

So many puppets, so many reasons to like and/or hate them!

You should also consider using the museum practice of using white-out and writing a unique number (say, year made-order made-Real or Replica-etc) in a spot that most people will never see if the object is on display, and then use that coded number as the database entry point.

I'd love if you had a show for trying to help people touch up and give tips for their maker/storage space. I moved into a 2 bedroom apartment a few months back, and decided to turn one of those rooms into a maker-space, but it's not a very large room and, given I'm living in an apartment, I also have to be careful to not cause any major damage to the walls or carpet, so most automatic tools are basically a no-go. It's currently got most of my extra stuff from moving taking up space as well (slowly but surely putting it all away and freeing up that space), but I hope to be able to get a decent maker-space for myself set up in there someday.

I've had the same thinking in regards to archiving my stuff as of late due to poor health, i have so much money tied up in rare Automotive items that the majority of family and friends will have no clue as to the value

Before you had said "The baby..." I knew, I just knew... AND I AGREE...

I know it has been 6 months but I always wondered if Adam seen the Allen Pan video about the liquid Taser. And if he has what where his thoughts on it.

I really enjoy 3d printing and painting miniatures with my sla 3d printer. I've been doing it for quite some time. I live in a very small apartment so I have a single shelf where I store them. I still add things to the shelf from time to time but it's very crowded mostly these days I have someone in mind that I'm going to give it to. I take a bunch of pictures and then it goes away. For these the pictures are almost as good.

I would join the page to see all these pictures

It would be my sincerest personal wish that should tragedy suddenly strike, the Adam Savage Cave, as it were, would become a museum.

I’ve not thought about David Lynch for some time but he was one of my influences as a narrative artist. A tip to Blue Velvet for a character I created this project.

Has to be Yoda for me. All time favourite!

I always wanted the Sumatran Rat Monkey, and the Zuni Fetish Doll.

You should do a video of all the stuff you built through the years

I want a coffee table photo book of Adam’s early years to now please please please!

Adam ! Check out the filing backwards myth tested by fireball tools! Results are interesting!

I would buy a book with all the photos and stories of your items.

At 1:57 Adam inhales and makes the exact same sound as the tested video outros do. That little shhhhhhiiink.

Adam, have you considered setting up a museum of your work that we can visit in San Fran? I’d definitely pay good money to wander around ogling your creations for hours on end.

Another way to put is is that if you start running out of space on the Z axis, you have a problem

I know others will cringe at this but I make props and costumes for characters in my paintings. Of course for me the goal is the finished painting. I do keep my artifacts but often I will cannibalize them later or repurpose them. You have to decide what is precious to you and what is not. As a professional I encounter things I’ve made for a specific purpose and want them around but this is pretty rare. If you are making things for yourself to enjoy then display them in your home. If you are making things for a larger purpose then that is their legacy. If you are making things to be noticed then get them out into the public and make some money while you’re at it.

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I would watch Maker Makeover where Adam goes to people maker spaces and helps them clean it out, reorganize, retool and then make something together?! SO HARD!

Yup- the show almost writtes itself- start with 5-10 min introducing the maker and showcasing some of their work, go look at their storage nightmare, come up with and work on a fix- work together as 2 makers on something, with either the maker showing adam some new skills or the other way around. I feel the show would be a bit niche to run for like 10years or anything but it seems like the sort of show you'd get good figures for 3-4 seasons.

I guess if you are a good maker you can get a client or sell the stuff your making. That will solve some of the storage problems.

I thought you would say a skeksis or mystic from dark crystal

YES!! OMFG THE BABY FROM ERASER HEAD!! *DUDE*!! okay, it's time to grab the DVD and put the headphones on. "Weird, alien...upsetting thing" Yes!! David Lynch needs _HELP_ !! :D

YES PLEASE DO YOUR SHOW IDEA! ✨And also come help me 😅😅😅

Your favourite puppet in film history? Me: Hmm... Yoda? Gelfling? Skeksis? Adam: The Baby from Eraserhead. Me: Oh God.

Question: I’m around 2016 you came to Austin, Tx, at the Driskell for First Lego League. I noticed you were very subdued and not very talkative. Is that because you are introverted like that or were you going through a rough time. No offense was taken, you just seem so upbeat and talkative on the channel. You are great - thanks!

Dude you have a eraser head baby... Jesus that’s so important to know To me ... I always really wanted That figure since the acid trip To village in NY

i’d love to be a intern for adam

Rentable workshops need to be a thing. I tried to rent a small spot in a warehouse or a small office and they want a business license and business insurance.

Photoscans! Not a replacement for really well taken photos, but if you’re being so comprehensive anyway, you might as well go the extra mile.

Kermit the Frog is definitely my favorite puppet

Makers Makeovers

If you need an intern for June, I have an 18 year old with a still-wet driver’s license that might be willing to drive from San Jose. I’m sure you have a bazillion people interested. Let me know though.

I tend to cannibalize my projects to build new projects

I want the 3D printer :-).

Where can I sub & join Adam Savage's Maker Space Nightmares show? C'mon, Adam. I'm an only child, you can't tease me with something I can't have.

3:46 I've got a fantastically simple solution for you! .... Just leave your shop and everything inside it to ME in your last Will and testament, then your family doesn't have to be burdened with figuring it all out!! 😂

All I have are pictures of things I've lost...

If you look up Kermit the frog on imdb, he is listed as an actor. 😂

ADAM!! DO THE SHOW. BE THE MARIE KONDO OF WORKSHOPS. COME TO GEORGIA AND GORDON RAMSEY MY HOARDER FATHER ABOUT HIS WORKSHOP SPACE. DO IT!!!

I always heard the baby was a lamb smeared in vaseline. To be clear that didn't come from me it's just a thing I've heard repeated many times.

WTH! Why did you make me go look at the baby? No! Whatever you do, do NOT go look at the baby! It's just so wrong in so many ways. Damn, I've gotta go watch that again.

It's a film that's meant to make you feel uncomfortable and disturb you more than a little. So be prepared.

Eraserhead baby: I just watched it and think I figured it out. (spoilers? below) The puppeteer is under the pillow of course, but The Key is the material it’s made from. I’ve seen that exact material as a kid though I can’t place it. Something like the old-school “slime” you could get in the turn-key vending machines, or maybe it’s just gelatin. The neck is empty with neck movements transferred from the head and I suspect that the jaw/tongue have complicated hinges like those beautiful multi-articulating bird masks. If I’m right, it would have been *extremely* fragile and felt exceptionally organic. It also dries very quickly which is further proof to me: the texture is slightly drier and thinner for some of the shots.
