Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Excalibur Sword! 

Watch Adam's King Arthur Armor Build here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vib1-V8ArzM.html

Adam: "Its not done for blood, it's done for lightening" Brain: "Sword shoots lightning"

Adam's videos are so mesmerizing because he doesn't fill all his footage with music. It's just the ambience of the environment and it's beautiful 👏 👏👏!

"It's not a blood groove, it never was." You sound like me and all of my sword enthusiast friends.

Aluminum dust can be some nasty stuff. I grind, smelt, cast, and cut aluminum. Always a good idea to wear a respirator

Adam:Ok , so we need some plutonium. Five seconds later: ok here I’ve got a couple of kilos

"I love polishing brass" ~ Adam Savage

When you find out the crusade for the holy land is tomorrow.

I admire the man for making something he could easily purchase . The sense of pride from making something with your hands can not be replaced by buying it .Seems like such a down to earth guy with nothing to prove ,except that he can make anything .Love it !

Grinder says: "ONLY use with 3 inch wheel" Adam says: "I'm going to use this 2 inch wheel!" in an optimistic manner. I guess another myth was busted right before our eyes...

5 days later adam was found dead in his work shop with 1 ton of aluminium dust in his lungs

Just watched this with my 3 year old boy who is obsessed with swords. He is now begging me to take him to your workshop so you can help him make his owns 🤗 Great video!

5:55 after i pause the video and spend like 5 minutes trying to find out what the hell that marker is, he just stops what he's doing and tells me. What a fantastic use of psychic powers.

The one day builds are the most satisfying videos on RU-vid

Turns out that the "respirator" thing is trending so, here's my advice to you Adam: Build your own respirator...and WEAR IT!

FYI: the convex grind is just called a convex grind in most blade making circles.

So love Adam Savage! Coolest guy ever :D Great and awesome work!

You should definitely collaborate with the guys from Baltimore Knife and Sword (the Man at Arms: Reforged guys) on something. I'd love to see what you and Ilya could come up with together. Also, the grind Adam is talking about is known as a "convex grind" or "axe grind" if anyone was wondering

Says "lets go find a dragon"... *builds dragon*

One of the BEST one day builds to date

i love how hes always so happy and that he loves his work ! top bloke :D

Man, always fun to watch Adam's excitment over things he do. How he puts pride in it. That is simply awesome!

your whimsical curiosity and excitement is extremely contagious! THANK YOU

So now Adam, you need to build a rock holster for your sword that you can draw the sword from to feel like king author

Just the absolute quality in not only the sword, but the video itself, is truly amazing. Tested has stepped up their production game and we appreciate it!

Excalibur was actually the first King Arthur movie I ever watched as a kid. I loved it so much that i made my first sword replica. After a few years I got the equipment to make real swords, and Excalibur was the first one I made

I can't imagine how much work this must've been in the middle ages.

The pommel comes off a great design choice NOW HE CAN END HIS ENEMIES RIGHTLY

You can tell from Adam's vocal inflections in that intro that he has been spending time with "Michael from Vsauce"

Mr. Savage your videos and your zeal make me smile. I have enjoyed your work for many years and your RU-vid channel does not disappoint.

I love seeing how excited he gets doing these projects. He's like a little kid. Just makes me feel good.

For a moment there I thought Adam was sick, but then he took off his eye protection, and I knew he was allright.

This is why I love Adam no matter what he does!!!

I love how excited you get about this stuff.

Love watching Adam and he has such enthusiasm for his projects

I WOULD LOVE a video where Adam shows off his watch collection + the different scenarios/uses he has for them! Anyone else notice his different watches in each videos?

so many sword experts in the comments, tell me what advantages a steel sword has over an aluminum one for a cosplayer? all i can think is negatives

Can I just say how amazing it is to watch this man work?

When the grind started, I thought “man this is going to take for ever!”, and I feel it did! The result is great, looks very nice! Kudos for the patience!

Would love to see Alec Steele and Adam Savage do a one day build. How can we make this happen?

I've been waiting for the day another One Day Build came out

It's so nice to see the skills you learnt from Peter put into practice! This channel is amazing. I loved watching Mythbusters growing up- And as much as I loved exploring the science with you all, I was always more interested in the building aspect of things. This is everything I could've hoped for as a kid. Thank you so much for all of the hard work that goes into making these videos!

More one day builds!!!

Adam literally giving the sword a 'spit and polish'. :)

I am so glad you got to make Excaliber! The sheer joy on your face was glorious!

My father used to make knives when I was a kid. This video really took me back to when he was still here. Thank you Adam.

USE ONLY 3" WHEEL! ....Im going to use a 2" wheel

I wish I had a workshop like that ! amazing

Excalibur is my most favourite film the part of the film where they ride out from the castle through the fruit orchard that turns to full bloom and the transformation from the the drab and worn out Arthur and his knights to the bright and re born.this has always stayed with me in my memories cheers Adam for another great one day build.

Adam has a strange little tool for everything. I love it.

Uh Adam... that's aluminum dust you're grinding off! Never grind without a respirator. ESPECIALLY with aluminum.

I love how Adam is geeking out while making this. It's both hilarious and awesome. Nice job on making it!

A favourite movie and a great job making the sword from that movie, thanks Adam. Amazing to watch you build these items, excellent work. The end product really looks the part.

Watching your absolute enthusiasm for this build has left me giddy. 😁 Thanks, I needed that.

Love some of the shots in this one!

I think we all enjoy watching Adam work because he seems to genuinely enjoy all the stuff he is doing...it would be really hard to fake his enthusiasm ... plus ... like this build ... he built his own fu#$ing grinder just-for-swords! Who else does that? I mean there are swordsmiths who would have apparently made their own, or makers building stuff, hobbyists of all kinds ... but he builds his own shit for so many things...not just swords. WOW He's a very interesting person to watch. I wonder what he's really like...you know...like around the breakfast table or something?

This was a great build, and one of the few where I felt smart while guessing correctly how you were going to multiple steps! Fantastic!

Adam that was absolutely exquisite, when i saw how you were going to do the lattice/grid pattern on the brass Pommel i was sure it wasn't going to work, but then when i saw you polishing it, i was a happy as you were and when the 2 halves of the brass Pommel perfectly dropped into place that was just satisfaction overload, the end result is a thing of beauty............... kudos to you Sir

He's so freaking happy and that makes me so happy

now i want adam to hit up man at arms and do a build with them

So beautiful, loved that movie also, also loved how they reflected green light off it in certain scenes

Adam you do what all of us wish we could do and with such enthusiasm love watching you make such great stuff keep it up so we can all live vicariously through you

When you realize he is so entertaining music is not needed.

Wait, did Arthur pull Excalibur from the stone in Excalibur? I've seen so many different versions of the story that I'm not sure which ones skip the part where he breaks the sword that came out of the stone and is given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake to replace it.

Love this video! The DOP (Joey?) did such an amazing job! You can really admire Adam's mastery with the close up hand shots!

Adam you inspire me to keep learning.. I wish I could meet you in person to tell you how much you mean to so many of us. thank you fro all that you teach us.

You should totes collab with the guys at B.K.S from Man at Arms!

Great build like always Adam. I wish I had an Excalibur Sword :)

anyone else appreciate the silence of these videos??? i love it it shows focus, and catches my attantion

Am I the only one who finds the grinding and etching sounds in these videos majorly soothing?

Holy crap it made me so nervous when he was polishing the wire wrap that he had only affixed with glue!! 😰 I also kinda thought maybe he should be wearing a mask when all those metal shavings were flying. I totally agree with how awesome it is to polish brass. There is just something about brass that makes it shine brighter and hold a polish better than other metals! I also liked using brass with silver in jewelry projects when I was in college for metals and jewelry as they look nice together.

Threaded pommel. Can end opponents rightly. 10/10.

I love the focus in Adam's eyes. It's been a long time since I was a model maker, almost 20 years ago in college. I remember that look of focus where the minutes turn into hours and you don't remember what time it is or who you are. You are the piece that you're working on. The piece is everything. Rapid prototyping and model making is an incredibly intense and rewarding process. I've always loved his work. However, leave off the gloves. If that glove catches, that's how you lose a hand. If you need a glove to keep from being hurt, stick with hand tools. If you catch a finger on the belt, it hurts but it will heal. If the glove catches, it will pull the whole hand through. I know that Adam is experienced and knows how to be careful, but people watching might not be. I do use gloves when grinding, but I accept the risk and am very careful. I've been snagged by a belt before and almost lost a finger on a lathe due to keeping my wedding band on. Never again. Bare hands, rolled sleeves, shirt tucked in, respirator on, eyes on, careful. Again, skin will heal, a whole hand does not come back.

It makes my heart happy to hear him shout out Man at Arms

would love to see an Adam and man at arms reforged colab ;o

Finally a video on tested worth watching. Adam should do one day builds all the time.

Beautifully done

I love polishing metal, it's so just relaxing and cathartic

Was anyone else (who didn't already know what it was) ask yourself, "What the heck is he using to mark up the aluminum?

Free handing the checker patterns was very impressive actually. Great work, Adam.

How could you not enjoy working with this guy?!

CONGRATULATIONS ADAM! That was awesome!!

I love how he throws the pommel wherever at 24:22 totally exhausted.

I still remember the first time i saw it! So simple at first glance, yet so refined and elegant! It was the sword that initiated my transition from jagged fantasy monstrosities, to serviceable and believable designs. A journey finally completed with The Lord of the Rings!

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm reminded of a movie quote involving a "watery tart".

Searching the comments to find out what marker he's using when he comes out and highlights it in the video. Adam always knows exactly what we want and delivers!

Adams videos enhance my vocabulary immensely

plz do more metal working

Love your enthusiasm and skills.....wish I had space for and equiipment for doing this

As a history enthusiast, it is so refreshing to hear a movie guy say "fuller" instead of :blood groove"! Too many people don't realise it was simply to lighten the blade... Thank you for dispelling this misconception :)

Why is there no one day build of a proper display boulder to mount this in?

And what was that dragon hoarding? Super glue

dude the way you twisted those wires is genius, you are a genius

Absolutely fantastic! Beautiful!

16:16 Adam enjoying his time polishing his sword

Hello dear Adam. Iam watching you building things since Mythbusters and was faszinated. I actually always wanted such a grinder for making my own props. Using a standard belt grinder at the moment. I am not such a multitalent as you are, not yet anyway ;) Would you be so kind as to help me in building one myself by sending me some instructions or plans?

Beautiful work

Excalibur is one of my fave movies it also blew my mind as a kid when it came out. . Just don't break what cannot be broken!
