Adam Savage's One Day Builds: A Better Tape Dispenser! 

Adam Savage’s Tested is Adam a Rolex man? :D

Adam, you should recreate the co-star's hat. So instead of just a pencil, integrate some other things.

This is my favorite with these two. Adam took over the bottle opener video. It wasn’t near the collaboration that this one was💕

I’m sorry I don’t wanna drag the creativity of your channel down, and I love your ability to collaborate and make something new but like you literally could have milled some holes in a 4x4 that fits the handle of these dispensers. It accomplishes the same goal, in the sense you want to take the roll with you and be able to dispense tape one handed. I feel like it’s a little bit of over thinking to disassemble the tape dispenser when you could mill a few oblong holes in a nice piece of wood and stick the dispenser handle in them and if you want to take them with you just remove the dispenser, it also lends itself well to being built into a vertical orientation. Kind of an Occam’s razor type thing, But then you wouldn’t have a video so idk I’m sort of torn between the simple solution and the free form creative spirit you foster in this video... honestly I’m slightly envious and a little bit baffled by your ability to see another idea as a contribution to the final product and not an obstacle to your vision, your ability to design around another persons work is awe inspiring (it would definitley frustrate me to not have a plan before it’s executed...to just go and make it, I could do it alone no problem but each with a different part, the way you riff off each other it’s awesome)

I know some time has passend and with all the Covit it was and may be still is impossible, but: Adam, when will you visit Laura in Köln?

Greatest thing ever - I can't help but smile every time he pats his belly XD

Adam uses a special echo location technique, different areas of his belly are tuned to locate specific items. His tongue receives the vibrations, hence his subtle but quirky facial gestures.

time stamps for belly pats?

@20:16 was one. the search for angle iron.

TheR3aper5 my life in a nutshell

Productive hoarding

for real tho

May.

Isn't that the one of the general thoughts behind all shops?

Two people from different sides of the Atlantic Ocean, brought together by a planet-wide information network, meeting thanks to a common interest and joining forces to solve a problem that was bugging them. We live in an awesome age!

Cool but........Take a piece of wood, cut a hole in it, put the tape dispenser handle in the hole and voila!

For 38 minutes! Without skipping forward! (not counting in-video edits)

ImpatientTurtle It's fascinating to see how people bounce ideas off each other. Two people, two different minds, but the same goal. And I love seeing how people react to Adam's shop

It made me want to see the unedited version ...

kalloused I don't usually reply to comments or even make a comment myself. But your joke me me laugh very hard and unexpectedly. The joke kept getting better and better and the punchline was just a killer. Good job with that one.

kalloused "oh! Wait! I have some of that that i found on safari while investigating how to add realism to Hollywood set jungle scenes!!!"

A workshop like that is so amazing. It's a dream

kalloused hahaha too true

The material was delrin. Pretty common in a shop.

What wonderful shop porn. I could (and often DO...) watch this sort of stuff non-stop. My other go-to is the wonderful How It's Made series. Unnnngggghhhh... When I used to work in my shop more often I'd spend as much or more time making the stuff to make the stuff, than making the stuff itself. A good jig or tool holder is a thing of beauty.

It's all Adam really, the enthusiasm and system of working.

Agreed. When I saw the title I thought it would be interesting. Then I saw that it was nearly 40 minutes and thought maybe I'll just skip over a few parts. I was pleasantly surprised y how engaging he makes his one day build videos.

I could watch him work all day

If you like his stuff check out Jimmy Diresta and Matthias Wandel.

Matthias Wandel FTW Boiiiiiii

An amazing woodworker is Frank Howarth.

Patent Pending it’s an addiction!

I wonder where she got it

Gar An Reading that has scarred me

@@mitchellhumbard1130 made by a company called ape and bird

@@user-ed8zf5zv5j what the hell

looks like someone made a hat to hold a joint and then later decided it worked better for pencils

And fuck it up half way through and not realise till the end.

bob the builder: "yes we ca... nvm you already figured it out"

Hello my frosty brother/sister

BROTHER?!?!?! SISTER?!?!?!?! I HAVE ONE?!?!?!?

Indigofrost you do now :D

lol, cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder854/26073854.jpg

It's a problem I wished I would have ...

But you _could_ build it ;)

Agreed, I do not expect to have that problem as long as I consider the tape a tool and have it available. What I find wonderful is that two people are working on a need they both have and are adding to the situation. I would be so thrilled to have a like minded person in my shop like this!

Mathew Schimmenti where :o

marcel helder he was drawing on of the lines during mock up completely free handed

Actually he leans palm or other finger on the wood side. I use that technique all the time at work. It's accurate enough.

Used to do it in high school in my carpentry class. It's really not as hard as it seems!

Use sweeping arm motions… search YT for detailed tutorials! Anyone can do it. :D

Made by Ape & Bird, a two person team in Providence RI, awesome products by awesome people www.apenbird.com/

45$ for that cap is pretty expensive, and that's without shipping

Alex cronin you are the real MVP

Austvik Austvik because it's a two person team HAND making these hats. The time spent making each piece, not to mention the expertise they've built in their sewing skills are what make a price go up. That's not even mentioning the money they spend on materials for the product, envelopes/boxes for shipping, and all that jazz.

I knew someone else was thinking this. Thank you for extracting the link from the community.

Laura speaks for all europeans XD

And scientist, even in america :D

And next time : 1 inch = +/- 2,54 cm ...

only +, not -

Lol, not + either. The definition of an inch is exactly 2.54 cm.

I think the internet would explode if that ever happened ...

Heck yea!!

im fine with it exploding if i get to see it

CO LAB .... RU-vid Red ... would pay $$$

Nota Ferret And then they kiss

Than* But, yeah, that's funny.

Yes, but to be fair he has more tools than most of us too.

He's got more space for tools than some have for living!

His shop could probably put a lot of hardware stores to shame. Ever go to a store for a bearing and they pull a tackle box out?

more likely you go to the store for a bearing and they look at you like you don't know what you're talking about before they send you to the mom and pop hardware store across town.

This show gives me workshop envy!

Same, and some talent envy too

You should be there too... something must be arranged..

My new workshop will soon be completed and I think that I will be able to build some really cool stuff there. Let's hope that it will be a success and then I might be able to make a trip to the US next year :)

The Post Apocalyptic Inventor get AvE along as well!

Yea but quite as sturdy as these. I watching this closely because O use a lot of tape but just use large desktop type dispensers from 3M.

Cost money though. You can affix these blades to something to make them a bit more rigid.

The tape holder (the grey plastic thing they cut up) could easily and more cheaply be made from MDF. NM, the serrated blades from the glad / foil wrap boxes could be made stronger by gluing to the blunt side of a used craft blade. Or you could cut sections from a hacksaw blade.

You can also use hacksaw blades and cut them to length with an angle grinder if you need something a little more heavy duty

that is how I made this same thing in art school (my first build I couldn't remove individual rolls easily)

he did a lightsaber check out

He just did a proper one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axiYo61XRRw.html

It was weird watching her use a ratcheting socket wrench by lifting it off the bolt every turn, though. Very cool video!

my man, thank you

John Harvey do you know what that style of hat is called?

Marc Mol Lous not a clue, sorry

Those are called 5 panels, or 5 panel hats. Because they don't have 6 panels like a traditional baseball cap would have.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

AnTrAxX Slingshots how did you not see the error of spreak when you edited?

AnTrAxX Slingshots I would love to see them work together again.

AnTrAxX Slingshots Oh dear, I read the signals all wrong. I thought the silence was Adam got caught Alpha-male mansplaining and they were in a huffy fit with each other.

Steve Watts Wuh, she was smiling 90% of the time -- when talking with Adam or working alone, ha.

MR. SOLID ARISEN I smile thru the tears as my fantasy gets stomped by the jack-boot of rational thought. (Hope you are right)

It is an Etsy product! Here is a link to the store that makes them: www.etsy.com/dk-en/shop/ApeNBird?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=270676395

@@danieljensen5751 thanks for linking that hat I was hoping someone would have asked about it in the comments, totally going to get one of those!

thanks justin! i had a VERY VERY fantastic day :)

+Laura Kampf who makes that hat? It's awesome.

Evan S I also would love to know

Evan S i found them. it's on etsy. a place called apenbird

you were 100% right.... www.apenbird.com/shop-1/?category=hats thanks

The trade term for what she has is actually a stick rule

the idea was that they wanted to take off one roll without having them stick together or needing to get one out of the way, take the one they needed, then put back the one they didn't. an easy way to have more is just to make it more compact and have more arms.

|Mc Chappington| he's got a point though. Imagine one arm with two rolls of tape on either side. It would allow more tape indeed

Oi! Oi! Oi! i hear you!

EtwasMartin I just wish he an Jamie could have set aside their differences for loner than they did just so we could have a proper going away season of myth busters

Ha! Superb! @@TheAxio300

Simon Keenan now imagine him and jimmy diresta making a project together.

Disturbed Shifty nope. that would be a very interesting collaboration.

Disturbed Shifty be interesting to see ,as Adam seems to want to be the one with the final say 🙃

He would leave his stamps all over Adam's place.

These two are great together. Never before have I seen two people so excited and into building something like a tape dispenser, and never before have I been so entirely entertained by it.

Exactly...I´m watching people build a tape dispenser. And the entire wealth of the internet is a click away. Thats impressive.

That's the thing. The tape dispenser is just a small part of it. Its the thought process, problem solving, creating something that is elegant, functional and services your needs with another person who shares your passion. There are so many light-bulb moments in this video, and that's what makes it great.

ChrisWhite85 Absolutely! I hope that I can achieve that in my design career/videos too 🤞

Totally awesome - I'd like to see you two work together more often!

I'm a simple man. I see a "The Office" reference, then I Iike it.

MyNameIsButter I’ve noticed most Europeans I’ve met are like that; saying no to an offer the first time out of courtesy.

Two Red Bulls? To do what? Calm him down a little? ;)

Legend has it they actually slow down these videos so we can see what Adam is doing.

Cat From The Future whats it like in the future?

She looks like his long lost sister

I liked that ply leaf spring too - didn't see it working at the end though.

That was my only frown moment in the vid. As soon as they said they wanted something to lock the arms up I just thought of a tungsten steel flap/spring (think of a springboard a gymnast uses to leap onto/over the box) mounted to the ply backing that the top corner of the arm would depress when the arm was moved. When the arm was fully up or down the tungsten would be at max open and would hold the arm in place while the action of raising/lowering the arm would depress it. The friction part of the arm - the corner - would be lightly rounded off and shimmed or capped with something that wouldn't wear down or alternatively would promote ease of action ie solid teflon insert or a strip of thin hardened steel bent and screwed into place - use whatever is on hand but all stuff I've worked with before so know it's doable.

Captainfinlarbo yes

Captainfinlarbo maybe she is his German love child.

I would love to see Jimmy Diresta and Adam do a project!

Friend Palster yes. I would love to see that.

I thought she meant a folding ruler but I guess its almost the same ...

She was close as the word derives from the French for "Measuring Stick".

commonly known as a yard-stick... (yup, even if it is in metric)

theorganguy in german a folding ruler is actually called a "zollstock" which translates to "inch stick".

thanks for clearing that up... I'm german myself... the english name for the Zollstock is Yard Stick... literal translations don't always work... and yup, that the name for a metric measuring device has "inch" in it, amuses me also
