Adam embarks on his next multi-stage build project: a 1/12 scale working recreation of a mechanical vault door! Inspired by his recent acquisition of an automatic hacksaw that can cut the solid cast iron cylinder that will become the vault door, Adam pulls from his extensive research into the operation and gearing of these doors to start making his scaled replica. The first step: machining the central ring and spur gears from which the locking pins will activate the vault lock!

When I read the title, I thought that Adam was recreating a Fallout vault door given how nicely that show has popped off.

@zeroxception 13 дней назад

I thought the same

@fromthistexasbreath 13 дней назад

I knew that it would be either a Fallout door, yes, or it would be exactly this, a solid metal mechanical miniature of a seemingly mundane thing haha. Those are the two possible options with Mr Savage.

@jeromethiel4323 13 дней назад

Indeed. Especially if it was from the real fallouts, fallout 1 and 2. Those doors were epic looking. The Bethesda vault doors are okay, but they lack the charm of the originals. What would be epic, would be to have the claw from FO1 or 2 come out from the side, engage the center, and roll the door open on the floor track. I would pay a fair amount of money to see one done correctly. Maybe not enough to have someone custom make one, as i imagine the man hours would kill a project like that. I doubt i could get a maker to make a metal fallout vault door for $500 or less. The labor alone would be worth more than $500. But i guy can dream. Maybe somebody with a decent CNC machine could make one for that price, but even then, a lot of the work would be hand fitting and designing. Unless the maker were going to make a run of, say 100 or so, the design time would kill the project.

It might be the difference between profession and hobby. I'm not sure Adam did much machining for props, and when making props I get the impression that being on the clock and getting things done was super important. I only realized this recently with my profession. A lack of perfection and more happy that my work does what it's supposed to do. But stuff for my hobbies has no clock. I'm not charging anyone for my time. I can take all of the time I want and be as big of a perfectionist as I want.

Fun fact. In industrial gear boxes that run at hundreds of RPM for years at a time, we actively seek out gear tooth combinations with no common factors, preferring prime numbers of gear teeth. These sets of gears wear more evenly over time. Definitely not the same design constraints that drove the gear tooth counts for vault doors!

I worked as a bank teller for a couple years at the start of my career. I always got a thrill when I got to set the clocks on the vault doors at closing in the evenings. This was less than 10 years ago, and it blew my mind that such primitive mechanical technology was still the best way to ensure things were secure even in our modern digital age.

Adam I know a man who is probably the last living installer and technician for Diebold and Mosler round vault doors. He owns a business that deals exclusively with used and antique safes from the late 1880s into the 1980s. I’ve worked with him in the past and was a wealth of information.

@EnteringTheMostHoly 12 дней назад

My dad worked for Mosler. He left the company and helped Marlin Smith start Smith Banc Equipment, many years later Marlin sold the company and my dad continued to work for the new company. Marlin started up another company Smith Hamilton. Marlin passed away in 2020. My dad Jim Arnett passed away in 2021. My dad was one of the best out there. When a bank needed someone to break open their vault he was the one they called on. He worked for 30 yrs. After he retired many still called him to open up old safes. I have a lot of cool stories about him.

153 isn't prime, and I determined that almost instantly with a little math trick. If you add up all the digits of a number, and then do that again (if necessary, over and over) until you have a single digit (the "digital root" of the original number), if that remaining digit is divisible by 3 (that is to say a 3, 6 or 9), then the original number is divisible by 3. In this case 1 + 5 + 3 = 9 so it is divisible by 3 and not prime. Another example would be 23643: 2+3+6+4+3 = 18 and 1+8 = 9, so it is also divisible by 3.

It's very easy to get into a routine where your hands are never anywhere near the moving blade.

think he has a portaband , think i saw it in the background on the intro video of his mecanica hacksaw that said trying to cut through a round object on a bandsaw is not eazy as the piece wants to roll along with the direction of the sawblade and that can cause it to bind up or at least jump away from the saw verry unexpentingly , it can be cone if you clamp it intoo sumting with a wide flat base , but that that works in the mecanical hacksaw too

@ReverendTed 13 дней назад

I may be mistaken, but I suspect it's built that way because base 12 is one of those numbers that makes for convenient math (being evenly divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6), which is why we divide time in 12's, 24's, and 60's, and circles into 360 degrees. (60 being especially convenient because it adds in divisibility by 5.) So in other words, having it in base 12 means you can evenly split it in half, 3rds, quarters, or 6ths, and since circles are already measured into 360 degrees, using base 12 means it's easy to design for a circle. So they probably didn't say "we need to design this so it'll work well on a dividing head", but rather dividing heads are built the way they are for "math reasons", and the vault is designed that way for the same math reasons.

@splendidcolors 10 дней назад

@awandererfromys1680 8 дней назад

Yea, it's a so-called abundant number, the sum of its proper divisors is greater than the number itself (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16). Well, it's abundant, highly abundant, superabundant, and highly composite. In short, it's a very versatile number lol Circle division, cock faces, calendars, etc., it's been around for a long time.

I used to work on a large estate and we had a workshop that was in the former wine cellar vault, complete with a large heavy vault door. We always keep it open but... One day it shut and was locked and an irate and unstable staff member took a sledge hammer to the combination dial. (Yes, they are designed clearly to prevent getting through that way!} Luckily only a week before i was curious about how the mechanism worked and took it apart to study it. When we realized the door was permanently damaged we had the guy from the auto shop bring a torch over and cut a hole at just the right place so i could fit my hand in to access the mechanism and work it backwards and blind and finally get it opened! Great puzzle challenge that was!

@andyvan5692 13 дней назад

one tip, Adam, the likely reason for 24 pins, is that only 12 are used 'routinely', aka the 'lock', the others go to a glass plate, ie: insert the new film "the Italian job"- with mark Walberg as the main, and Charlie Theron as the 'locksmith' and the "glass re-locker" principle, if tampered with these weld it shut, thwarting any cracking attempt. The logic is simple, you can only see one gear; I surmise that there are two rings, co-axially mounted on that ring, one for this re-locker, the other for the main set.

Your enthusiasm as you build is infectious! Also, thank you so much for putting this kind of content into the world. ✌️

"I'm so happy!" all you need was a fluffy unicorn to jump up and down with when you said that - love that feeling when things go to plan!

Adam I gotta say man I’m so envious of your shop. The amount of projects I could do… man. I don’t know how often I’d leave.

Worked in banks as facility engineer for years and have seen many different doors. The older the more ornate and decorated but I think anyone who is mechanical will be fascinated by the precision and craftsmanship.

So awesome you mentioned the Lock picking Lawyer! Very cool

You could even turn some custom bolts for the 12T gears cam style so you can dial in the backlash perfectly. No matter what you do I’m sure it’ll be cool! Thanks for sharing Adam you’re the best!

I honestly think I'm geeking out over your success, every bit as hard as you are.

Gorgeous work! I feel your pleasure about the amount of time and effort into making an item like that, and seeing it fit perfectly into the space it was designed for. Congrats!

So happy for you! I audibly laughed when you placed your gear into the other! Well done, friend!

Hopefully Adam will make this a series so we can follow the entire build of a scale replica of that vault door.

I think one of my favorite things in this video is the shot angle at about the 12 minute mark, where while I logically know it's the bed that is moving not the milling head, it (almost) looks like the head is the piece moving, having to look very closely at the background in relation to the "bracket" that holds the rotational axis tool to realize it's the bed itself moving. I just think it's a really neat trick of the camera.

you know, one day Adam, i will have a shop like yours and learn all that you know and more. love the videos, keep them up for us! 👍

Adam, we wouldnt compain if you built a full vault door, with a lock so as you can open and close it, a hinge, a "wall to set it into", you know the full shabang!! Would be really cool!

I had a friend who did demo work in S Texas. He bid on an old bank demo and got the bid. When it came time to demo the vault walls they didn't even budge with their largest wrecking ball. Using a diamond saw, they cut into the wall to see what the heck was in it - turns out whoever built the vault used old blasting matts instead of rebar. They had to go to the Brownsville Ship Cannel and rent burning bar equipment to take the walls down - he said he would never take another bank demo. Speaking of the Brownsville Ship Chanel - Adam you'll enjoy this. That's where the USS Hope hospital ship was demolished... The USS Hope was the only ship ever built that had a standard 120 / 240 / 480 volt generator. Mr. Smith of EFI Furniture in Austin, Texas bought that generator / boiler and fueled it with the wood scrap they produced in the manufacturing process. He was able to power the entire operation and sell the excess to APS - all with scraps they would have burned anyway...
