Time to make a laser sword hilt! Adam takes a cylinder of aluminum stock and walks us through how he machined his first replica of Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. In the spirit of revisiting his early propmaking efforts, Adam only uses one found photo for reference and explains how to extrapolate details from an image to usable measurements for propmaking. It's a build that goes through some unexpected turns, and ends up being a different One Day Build journey than Adam intended!

Tiling on a Mac: make it into a pdf, open in adobe acrobat reader. The print options there allow you to print a poster on tiled sheets.

@Damonvdrim 3 года назад

Yes!

@SomeSpicyCheese 3 года назад

And for Windows: Use MS Paint! It's found within the print options menu

@heathenxyt 3 года назад

Yes. Most PDF viewing software has tiling functions. I use it often for 1:1 jig layouts...complete with registration marks for alignment.

@Dyundu 3 года назад

Another trick on the Mac: when you come across an image that the website won’t let you save, hold Shift, Command, and 4, and then you can select an area on your screen to capture. Saves it as a PNG file on your desktop or downloads folder, depending on settings.

Having lived through any number of projects like this myself, I give Adam the highest praise for having the courage to show a less-than-ideal outcome for a build. Very often it goes more something like this than it goes perfectly the first time. This video is both a great demo of process and the fact that, even though the tools may be precision, we humans are not. We work with the best info we have, in the time we have, to get the best result that we can. I like this guy. I like the way he thinks. He doesn't need my praise, but I had to say how I feel.

@miyagi_draws 2 года назад

For a Mac use illustrator. Make the art board to the massive size you need then in printer properties set your print size to letter. Your art board will then show a bunch of ghost letter size outlines breaking up your art board. That sizing formula is spot-on. I used to use that as an artist to size up or down on a stat camera. It was also useful to size up roughs to transfer to boards for paintings. It’s amazing how many of those old tricks I use today when designing products.

You can do it in a lot of programs' print dialogue. Even google chrome has a custom "scale" option under "more settings" that automatically tiles oversized images.

The number of times people brought in a picture (or several) and said "can you build this?" and it not be the same when they get it home and match it to other pieces they had was amazing. It is NEVER as easy as it seems to build from an unscaled not dimensioned photo and get it perfect.

I felt this episode in my soul. How many projects have I invested hours into, only to realize that something went terribly wrong along the way? Then you have the terrible options of A, gritting your teeth and try to salvage what you can, or B, chucking it in the bin and starting all over again. It's endlessly frustrating. So I appreciate Adam taking the time to show us exactly that. It sounds cliche, but it shows me, a 100% self-taught amateur, that the pros have the same problems in the workshop as I do. Frustrating for them, maybe, but reassuring for me; it can be daunting to see pro after pro post a video of one flawless process after another! PS: Adam, if you're reading this, I actually really appreciated the object lessons in scaling, tiling, parallaxing, and yes, even the math you showed us. I have always struggled, and will always struggle, with numbers, but seeing them illustrated helps a ton. Even after all these years, you continue to teach me a lot!

Man I just loved this one, especially when you explained scaling, it’s almost as if percentages are reversible lol. Ive done this with so many applications in my head, I followed every step and knew exactly what you were going. But I’ve never seen it quantified so simply. & Nice touch with the diagonal matching technique. I used to survey and overlay several plats on top of each other. It makes so much more sense to connect multiple lines diagonally than shorter straight lines in parallel. But when you went on to explain parallaxes, it blew my mind a bit, and I immediately googled it. …it’s not a 2D scale image…but a 2D image of a 3D object from one angle. 🤔 now I’m thinking of all the times I didn’t know the word for what I was seeing. Acheivment unlocked. Your videos really are much more than just watching you make stuff. They help open so many doors in my mind.

As someone else mentioned, there is cut right before he tapes it down. If you watch the paper closely, you will see it get misaligned right before the cut, and then it "magically" becomes perfectly aligned when the cut hits, and you can see the perfect alignment once the tape is down. It's pretty subtle.

Adam: I stubbled onto this post and am grateful for doing so. I graduated from a technical high school with a major in electronics and oddly enough machine shop. I found that mechanical fabrication training assisted me in my career as an Implant Maintenance Eng (Ion implanters are used to dope silicon wafers in chip fabrication). Watching you use lathe and horizontal mill and your skills in layout and set up just kept me engaged. Finally your ability to recover from a mistake(s); completing the task is valuable training to the inexperienced youth. Randy

The last part, starting around 52:47 kind of confirmed something I thought was off from the start: There are SIX "crenellations" on the original, not eight.

Mr. Savage you did an amazing job teaching about how to not barrage yourself with negative self talk because something isn't right whether by you making a mistake or an accident from unknown source. You also taught that you shouldn't quit because of a mistake or accident but learn from it & persevere as the end result will be a reminding example of the lessons you've learned.

OOOH! Posterazor is an amazing program for scaling! They even have a webtool! I use it all the time to make pdfs of battlemaps that can be printed on A4 and then taped together!

it's completely insane to me how you can obsess over something that *might* be a couple of thousands of an inch out, but then in the following sentence say that you're 'just going to eyeball' something

These are Adam’s Lightsabers. The force is strong enough with him that he can replicate his original lightsaber based even on a different photo! Great Job on being consistent, Adam! I Love your builds!

Whilst it wasn’t what you’d hoped to show, I found it incredibly useful. As someone starting out, I’d not appreciated the pitfalls and limitations of using reference images. Thanks for the ‘warts-n-all’ video.

Hey Adam, you can easily tile up images in Illustrator, where you can have multiple pages showing up on the same window, you can arrange them as you want and then simply put your image in the file If I was unclear feel free to respond me

@reck711 3 года назад

yeah sure. But should that kind of thing really require a piece of software that's like 60 bucks a month?

@mikejackson3028 4 месяца назад

I've been binging on older vids that I might have half-watched or skipped or missed in the past - and I'm amused that Adam calls this inaccurate and kinda gives up on it out of perfectionism. If 99.99999% of us non-machinists had made that we'd be overjoyed at the outcome. The fact that the end thingy was actually a faucet knob on the original was something I didn't know, so it amuses me more to see all the effort to replicate a movie prop that was kinda thrown together out of found parts. I believe the legend is the other part was made from one of those old Speed Graphic 4x5 camera flash things that held batteries to fire flash bulbs. Before I knew that back in the 80s I can remember passing over boxes of those things in a second hand camera shop looking for stuff like that for an old Speed Graphic camera I had. I would have bought the box if I knew!
