Adam travels back to the Royal Society in London where he last encountered the original death mask of Sir Isaac Newton! Since first seeing the mask, Adam has built a custom archival carrying box for the Royal Society to keep this historical artifact housed in its archives. The build of this aluminum box--using a 3D printed replica of the mask--was in and of itself a journey!

You were correct when you said "thousands of years" regarding death masks, they were made in ancient Egypt, using plaster over cloth, then painted and beaten gold was sometimes used. The Inca used clay or wood for their royalty, (source: Encyclopedia Britannica)

@ThugBatty 8 месяцев назад

maybe you can answer my question. I was under the belief that aluminum corrodes when stainless steel fasteners are used. Is this just in the presence of water or will it corrode even sitting on a shelf over time?

@x105w5 7 месяцев назад

@@ThugBatty The presensce of water in the air (humidity) is enough to start the corrosion process in that case. So, yes if its just sitting on a shelf and it happens to be a humid environment, corrosion can start. In a dry, dehumidifier environment the aluminum start corroding on its own, if corrosion has already stated its too late really.

It's an easter egg. Adam did a lot of interviews with crew and cast at the time and had a cameo in the last episode of season 2. He started using the brand "Savage Industries" at about the same time that it appeared in The Expanse season 3. If you look closely you'll notice that Melba (Clarissa) works for Savage Industries - apparently the company is made from archival grade materials as well and survives far into the future.

Death masks are somehow both creepy and fascinating to me. My dad has copies of Pushkin and Dostoyevsky's death masks and 6-7 years ago my friend and I built a display case for the Pushkin one. Nothing special, laminated particle board with glass in the front. I never got to building one for Dostoyevsky, might look into doing both of them again and this time think about archival a bit more. Mine are not original castings, but I'd still like to keep them in as good of a shape as I can.

@malaudisa Год назад

About a month ago, I gave a presentation to my modelling club on scratchbuilding basics (using styrene). One of the items I emphasized was "if you want to get good at it, start by making boxes". Making a box well, even one out of styrene, exercises so many skills, like measuring, cutting, squaring edges, etc. Who knew that making a simple box is hard, let alone one out of aluminum, with screws and hinges, and for the Royal Society no less. So it is fascinating watching Adam build his perfect box, and despite all his years of experience and skill, still be so challenged. It is a wonder how so many things in this world that appear trivial to the uninitiated, are in fact so complex and very challenging.

@the_arcanum Год назад

Yup, years of crafting can help with the knowledge of the materials, of the tools and processes as Adam showed and yet there are so many design pitfalls in making a box. Imagine making a simple wooden box to put your printer in, adding an inset window, door and separate half shell and once everything is done and you're happy of the result, realizing you didn't account for the printing plate moving back and forth past the footprint you had envisioned... /headdesk

@pipeman65 Год назад

Hi Adam, great project and video! A question, are you not concerned with dis-similar metal corrosion over time from using stainless steel screws in aluminum? I've had this issue between aluminum and stainless steel screws in the past, although it was in a wet environment from time to time, so that could have been a major factor.

@JustAnOrdinaryBrick 10 месяцев назад

I was concerned with the exact same thing! From my material science classes, I learned about this fact. Using aluminum and stainless steel can cause galvanic corrosion. This is a far more serious concern in wet environments (like you directly experienced yourself); however, I think as long as your room is not humidity-controlled (i.e., dry) for Adam's goal (outliving the building it's stored in) I wouldn't recommend stainless steel touching aluminum. :( Is there another mechanical engineer specialized in (offshore) construction that can maybe shed a better light on the situation, regarding said goal?

@pipeman65 10 месяцев назад

@@JustAnOrdinaryBrick As a side note, my experience with this was in an offshore environment, on a large research vessel, in a laboratory. Our work-around to combat this was to use a product called aqua-lube on the threads of the SS screws. This would prevent corrosion for a time. It’s a very thick sticky substance that is waterproof.

Is bi-metal corrosion going to be a problem? The fire engine/trucks I worked on always had problems with the stainless-aluminum combination.

@dielaughing73 13 дней назад

That's a good question and I'm surprised if Adam didn't address it (haven't watched the whole video yet). I'll guess that corrosion in an archival setting (controlled temperature and humidity) won't be an issue, since corrosion requires the presence of an electrolyte, the ingredients of which will be lacking in the RS vault. Perhaps the simplest way to protect the box from this risk would be... to put it in its own archival box which would keep the air pocket around it stable 😂 But since there are simple methods to prevent galvanic corrosion (such as using an inert sleeve where fasteners contact the dissimilar metal) and Adam doesn't use these, I'd assume he's considered the issue and concluded it wouldn't be a problem. Still a bit odd if he didn't mention it though. Perhaps it completely slipped his mind.

@Babarudra Год назад

(Those helicoils will be the tipping point that proves the case!) The Death mask will then be placed into temporary storage, while the case, itself, is sent to the workshop for restoration and archival mediation to preserve the case, itself.

Any person that has done a big job no matter what it may be. If you have ever messed up after you have already done a bunch of work to get to that part, you know exactly how Adam felt.

In a stunning twist of events! Adam Savage walks out with his box AND the death mask of Sir Isaac Newton. Tune in next time to Savage Heists!

Why don’t you do a Savage ‘life mask’ made and put it in another box .

I live by where Sir Isaac Newton was born and not far from his secondary school, feel like this would be a good item to have here. I think you'd like some of the places around here too especially if you wanted to bring your dog for walks here in the countryside. I remember going to see the apple tree as a kid during a school trip, perhaps you should take a visit if you ever find yourself back in England

Doesn't stainless steel corrode aluminium ? Just wondering ...

I wonder whether the blue painters tape adhesive residue left on the foam after cutting will be a problem over the long term.

@stefanhauser2804 Год назад

it is sold as "Leaves No Residue Behind" OR you just can't see it ?

@OhHeyTrevorFlowers Год назад

@@stefanhauser2804 The painters tape I have on hand claims to be "no residue" but I wonder whether that's "no noticable residue" or "museum approved no residue". 😸

mixing metric and imperial in your measurements is so very British. We just use whatever we want

I sometimes forget how long ago some of these iconic geniuses lived. Sir Isaac Newton was born in 1642 and died in 1727. What a privilege it would be to create something to help preserve one of them. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

What part of that sentence do you forget?
