Adam is absolutely enamored by the beauty of his new Nagra IV-S audio recorder, and builds a custom aluminum carrying handle in the spirit of its industrial design. It's an exercise in measurement and precision machining to get the handle to perfectly fit on the Nagra and also work as a tabletop stand. Let's see how Adam fares in this true One Day Build!

Anyone else enjoy the sound of the built-in air chuck as it operates? When I watch these, I feel like I'm a head in a jar that Adam keeps in his shop to have someone to show his skills.

@Shoop83 Год назад

I wasn't sure if that's a real sound or if the editor was having fun.

@CWHolleman Год назад

I grew up around that sound as my father was a mechanic, sounds about like an air ratchet or pneumatic tool.

@Volamek Год назад

You're not bad at math. You just have a healthy level of uncertainty. One of your many attributes that makes you so relatable. Thanks to you and your team for such consistent, high quality, content!

@egilkvaleberg8462 Год назад

Surely, you must be kidding! Truly! Measuring the dimensions of a noble Swiss Nagra in inches. That is pure sacrilege!

@vernoningram5421 Год назад

Honestly I really liked the accidental jog-cut once you put it on the Nagra, it gives a subtle directionality to the handle almost like a slight curve would, which works well with the direction and plane the handle is moving on when carrying and propping up the recorder. IMO an excellent happy accident 😁

@tomhorsley6566 Год назад

Or he could put the same cut on the other side so it looks deliberate :-).

@grafyghtgaming8733 Год назад

Nothing makes me happier than two pieces that are slotted to and fit together perfectly.

@JoseMaGM Год назад

Apparently, so does Adam 😅

@dagi4321 Год назад

High tolerance fitment is one of the best sounds one can create in a workshop.

@mbts500 Год назад

17:09 is a classic Adam moment that makes him so entertaining to watch. He has built all kinds of crazy things during his life, but machining one simple slot still brings him so much joy

@mortlach186 Год назад

See how a mistake turns into a signature design of your own. Nicely done. You passed the Swiss Precision Machinist Test.

@bejarano1960 Год назад

Back in my Nagra recording days, we never used a handle. The recorder was either in a bag with a strap for run-n-gun type productions, or it was on our Magliner sound cart. Yes, it's nice to angle up the recorder on a handle, but we would never trust it without a locking mechanism. If someone were to bump the cart during recording and the Nagra were to fall, it could ruin a perfectly good take. Today's digital solid state recorders wouldn't be affected by such a mishap but the Nagra is a precision mechanical device that doesn't take too well to shock. I believe that the actual Nagra handle includes the locking mechanism, which is one of the many reasons why it is expensive. Anyway, almost all of the devices that I have that have a handle that can be used to raise the control panel, include a locking mechanism at the point where it attaches to the device. This is a feature that Adam could have easily built in his shop and incorporated into his design. Otherwise, Adam's handle is beautiful and compliments the aesthetic of the Nagra very nicely.

@TECsta76 Год назад

The machines that securey stitche belt straps are amoung the most dramatic in appearence and functionality! Worthy of any genuine collection..

@-MrFozzy- Год назад

I can’t believe we as a people are at a point technologically that we have a digit assistant that can answer any question we have…in your house…it’s incredible. Also…Mr Adam….you’re truly a joy to watch…we love you! ❤

@BKGclan4LIFE Год назад

Hey man i met you when i was a kid at the berch aquarium in California. It was shark week and you and Jamie pulled up out of no where in a limo. I was star stuck and you two shook me and my brothers hand. You two were so nice and genuine humans. I gotta say as a builder and fixer myself your videos bring me great joy. Love your personality and what you do, never stop being you!

@kheath580 Год назад

i absolutely love these unedited longform videos. i feel like im sitting in the shop just watching stuff happen and its super interesting.

@wykydgt Год назад

Your videos are like watching the love child of Octave Chanut and Bob Ross at work. "Well, I screwed that up but, it looks cool and it still works so I like it." That build deserves an ice cold Bundaberg.

@TofuRabbit Год назад

i come from the plastic cover restoration video and i didn't even realize the the handle was custom made! It fits perfectly and looks totally authentic, amazing job!

@jstrat121 Год назад

Alexa’ s all over the world responding to Adam’s questions……mine sure did,lol.

@Warshipmodelsunderway Год назад

I have been re-watching "The Wire" with a friend who had never seen it, and he was wondering why I got so excited during the opening credits when I spotted the Nagra portable. I told him it was a Savage thing. 🙂

@glentrew1253 8 месяцев назад

Very nice job, and impressively close to the original! Here's a tip: True to Nagra engineering attention to useful details, the Nagra 4-series handle/strap lugs mounted on the chassis are assembled with flat springs on the inside, and preloaded so that the lugs will turn, but with an amount of tension that keeps the handle from being completely loose but still allows the handle to be positioned like you mentioned. - Glen Trew Trew Audio Nagra Service

@richardehlert5592 Год назад

Adam, love watching you work. I am so envious of your shop. I tinker in my wood shop and relate to your thinking. I share your excitement at the little wins in the shop

@andyca15 Год назад

The accidental notch looks like it was designed to give clearance for the side ports with the handle used as a stand. Looks great!

@lucianofinardi7222 Год назад

This recorder is SOOO COOL. Vintage precision technology. Love it.

@the_arcanum Год назад

Try carrying it all day for field recording! Nagra were the bee's knees but I know many a reporter / sound guy of old whose back and shoulders are so thankful we entered the digital era :D

@TsunamiBeefPies Год назад

I'm sure those Swiss engineers would be proud of you, Adam.

@amichaelson10 Год назад

Can hear that vexation about the surprise notch in his voice at the end there, looks great!

Those recorders look like they are right of of NASA. Just a Beautiful pice of engineering. Thanks for sharing 👍.

@jasonplunkett6636 Год назад

I wish you would have used the same little finger screws you used for the canvas strap for the hard handle... they look more "factory" to me than the regular screws. Absolutely love your work and channel and have been a fan for what seems like forever ! Since the "am I missing an eyebrow?" days 😆

I'm not even a machinist but when he put that tube in the slot, lemme tell you what that was satisfying as all hell!

I enjoyed the music on today's video, very upbeat.

@williamtaylor5017 Год назад

LOVE your videos, long time fan. I grew up in a manual machine shop, Ca. coast not far from you, started off cleaning the machines age 12 - bidding small batch short run products age 21, age 45 now. Lets just say I can relate to watching you think it up and make it a reality. Keep em comming!

@codysheperd8831 Год назад

"I know parameters" and all of us just fall over. 🤣🤣🤣 I have loved watching being a machinist. That's my trade and believe or not I have learned a thing or two. Keep building

@morsecodereviews1553 Год назад

Watching Adam work is pretty impressive. However what's more impressive is how quickly his alexa responds to him, my lady must be getting old cuz she takes like 5 minutes to even realize I've said her name🤣

@theprojectproject01 Год назад

She's just sick of your shit

@BobDoesReviews Год назад

mine works great. Is yours an older model?

@morsecodereviews1553 Год назад

@@BobDoesReviews oh most definitely, Gen 2 hockey puck😆 I haven't been able to delete routines from years ago, they're just floating around, ingrained in cyberspace somewheres. Forever haunted by old alarms and inconvenient light shows.

@stardustjustlikeyou Год назад

While I love your builds where you're just making something for the sake of making it or getting an experience from an item, boy do I love functionality. It's cool to see you doing essentially the same thing you do for replicating a prop but to make something that is both a replica and a functional piece of equipment.

@geargodextreme Год назад

Always so comfortable to watch these one day build

Looking forward to seeing Adam clear up that plastic next.

@MichaelEilers Год назад

Man I love those little palm screwdrivers, so nice in the hand and so much torque from the extra diameter.

@richardsaplenty8020 Год назад

I've mistakenly thought that watching a few one day builds would be alright to fall asleep to. Not so, Adam makes the slow process of measuring and machining stuff too interesting to eventually doze off.

@SavageBunny1 Год назад

I watch your videos because it's always random stuff, sometimes I have no idea what it is but I learn, that's the point.

@andyvan5692 Год назад

Loved the handle, but also your tool rack for the mill , a great place to store everything!!

@alexl1440 Год назад

Hard to be that level of satisfaction.

@jamiehudson2747 11 месяцев назад

I recently visited a local historical village and found a whole exhibit called wireless. I took a whole bunch of photos of early radios, record players, TVs and typewriters if Adam and co are interested to see them.

Adam: "Deburring noises". That's full circle on that golden bit!

@QuestionMan Год назад

I've always laughed when most RU-vidrs point down, because 9/10 times they look like they're pointing to their crotch-especially when they use both hands, the more enthusiastically, the better. 😆 At this point, "down in the description" should be a euphemism.

@walk_dont_walk Год назад

I wonder how fast you would have been with the measurement part if you would use metric. Great video! I love how much thought and attention to detail you bring into a project like this.

@theprojectproject01 Год назад

It is astonishingly hard to find a really good metric tape measure in the US.

@OhHeyTrevorFlowers Год назад

A fun project. I'm not a metric pusher (I work in an imperial metal shop) but it's still weird to me when Adam works in imperial while making parts for a Swiss machine. Regardless, it's neat work.

Measure in metric Adam! Lol. You said you would practice with it. And the Naga recorder was built in Switzerland as you know… who used metric dimensions to define the thing in the first place :-)

You know, you set my Alexa off at the same time and she answered in unison with yours when you asked the subtraction problem, LOL.🤓

@scottramos7949 Год назад

You should machine your own 10-32 handle screws with a flat head instead of the dome heads. It would match better with the shoulder screws that hold the handle to to the case.

@chirculescuhoria2676 Год назад

Maybe adding 2 silicone washers that will add some friction - in order to keep the handle in the desired position ?

@Terkanil Год назад

I have come to the conclusion that Adam making sounds with things while thinking is merely his Idle Animation.

@abb1793 Год назад

You should record the audio for one of your one day builds (like one related to the nagra) with your nagra recorder, although I don't know how that would work with wireless lapel mics or whatever... It's spy gear, there has to be a way to do it, you could do a whole james bond thing or something, or the conversation or sneakers or whatever.

@TheTapMusic Год назад

"Today, I am going to augment this piece of equipment to make it slightly more useful." Taps on a 51 year old piece of tech. That said, being an audio engineer myself, I love old recording tech like this. Maybe not the most practical thing, but incredibly vibey.

@doogledog1740 Год назад

The handle looks good, Adam. The extra notch looks "technical" :-) I saw the brown leather case you have. That's a little different to the black leather cases I used on 4.2 recorders for many years, (with the webbing straps with nylon end pieces with metal inserts). They are generally similar but the 4.2 style didn't have any zippers, just press studs. I don't know if they would fit the IV-S. I found those black cases to be robust and offered good protection. They also allowed easy access to the controls whilst the recorder was being carried on the shoulder for field work.
