Hey adam, could you someday design a simple DIY spacesuit and actually test it in a vaccum chamber? It would be so nice to see what you came up with given your experiences with spacesuits.
Adam Savage’s Tested Not sure if Adam knows about it. But Tamiya has a new line of masking tape that is very much like the pin striping tape. It is very thin. Comes in multiple widths. And is extremely flexible! Great for markings curves! I’ve used it and it’s great stuff!
Awesome! How about this idea: a working replica of the machine that was used in Blade Runner to test the replicants, with the little automatic arm and camera that zooms into the iris and displays it?
Looks like my hands after anything I do in the shop. Every time my wife asks me where a cut/scrape/blood blister came from, I honestly can't answer her. It's all a blur in there lol
@@ReiniGrauer Just rub some sawdust into it, it'll stop bleeding lol. The worst part about injuries is bleeding all over your project, i don't care about the pain, i just don't want to bleed all over my project hah.
Thanks for the shout outs Adam! It was a pleasure working with you and the crew on this amazing project. I really dig you showcasing all of your paint tests. So vital! =D
One Day Builds with Adam are like Bob Ross' programs. But with a little more excitement and less whispering hahahaha. Thank you, Adam. I really enjoy watching you build stuff and teach me things.
It's fascinating how most hour long videos on RU-vid I'm like, "I don't want to waste time on that", but with a One Day Build I just want it to go on for 5 hours. Loving everything you guys do!
I can't be the only one that finds it oddly reassuring that even Adam, with all his years of experience, still has those moments of nervousness when making something, a 'I could screw this up' moment.
He has many...many great quotes. From philosophical and hauntingly beautiful, to childlike wonder and objective truths hidden in enigma. Pepperd from Mythbusters and Tested.
@@triickzxfury4166 One of my customers called me recently and was like "hey, I hurt the motor, we've got a no prep this weekend. Can you have it ready?" Asked him how bad it was hurt, said he didn't know, had sparks out the header and a bad noise and he shut it off mid pass. Melted a hole the size of a silver dollar through a piston 🤦♂️ had an injector failure and that piston went dead lean while the motor was on a large shot of Nitrous. Bad day lol
Hi Adam, A tip for everyone when mixing paints - Get a good supply of syringes from the drug store. Then you can mix exacting amounts of your colors. This is also a lot cleaner & does not leave paints dribbling down the outside of containers. If you make records of the quantities as you go it will be a lot easier to re-make that particular color again in the future. Otherwise it is a bugger to try and match them again. Make more than you need and keep the leftovers in another container. This will help for touch-ups later on or to help color match a new batch of paint / lacquer. When spraying, get a card or scrap sheet to fire a test on first. This will help to get your "Spray Fan" and "Flow Volume" correct before attacking your new-to-be loved project.
this is great technique. my partner is a classic car restorer, so has to often custom mix paints, as the original paint code doesn't take into consideration the different formulas of modern colour tints, and also the way that paint ages. Unless you are doing a full respray, there is always a tweak to get the right colour match. you can log it in a book, with the customers name, so if they need something else doing later, you have done the brain work already.
Adam standing in the middle of his shop, in jeans and the Savage/NASA shirt, wearing that helmet, would make an excellent magazine cover shot. 😂 (Or the cover of a book about making replica spacesuits?! HINT HINT.)
4:18 “You might be wondering why I’m taping up the whole helmet if I’m painting only this part? That’s because no matter how carefully you paint - you will have overspray...” 48:27 “that’s awesome, gonna hit this little bit”
To be honest I like the instructions. I bet ya there's people googling how to wash their hair. It would also save a lot of lives if drugs came with instructions in them, instead of telling to go see a doctor to get the right dose.
59:51 "Some actual _brown betacloth_ [deeply sniffs brown betacloth] It doesn't actually smell like anything, but..." I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who expresses how impressed I am with something by giving it a big obvious sniff.
Can you do a video explaining how the real helmet would seal? You've spoken about how complicated the locking systems on the real articles are in a couple other videos, and even if it's not possible to recreate the tolerances without significantly more intensive equipment, it would be really cool to understand the concept that allows, for example, the edge of the clear face shield to seal and maybe how the bar helps that happen? These are all awesome builds man, thanks for doing them!
Next build idea a vibrating paint shaker for the airbrush station. I found out the hard way with those tamiya paints after proceeding to bang the pot on my bench (unknowingly cracking the glass pot) a couple of times (exactly how Adam did) then a few whacks on the palm on the 3rd whack the pot fully broke and cut a lump out of my hand like butter not a good day in the shed that lol
@SciFi Custom Collectables oh this must be going on nearly 28 years ago when I was still a young pup and on a very tight budget my one was a mix of salvaged motors from old remote control cars and a stripped down electric sander it wasnt the prettiest of contraptions but it worked well considering I was probably only 11 at the time
@SciFi Custom Collectables I wish I was that ingenious now and put functionality over form completing something in a weekend unlike now and always over complicating everything and it then dragging on for 6 months and having multiple(to many) projects going
I love how you guys are making this "one day builds" longer, I really do appreciate all the effort that Adam is putting in, and you guys dont skip a bit of the action. Thanks!!
The ACES is my favorite suit of American space flight, it has a unique look to it, it’s industrial it’s designed for a specific job, it’s not meant to be glamorous or the star of attention but that’s what I love about it, it’s the suit you’d imagine a space shuttle crew would wear, shuttling cargo to orbit in a sci-fi movie in a weathered worn shuttle craft wearing their pumpkin suits, I can imagine them in a space port standing out in a crowd or in a seedy space port bar wearing them having drinks and awaiting for a cargo load.
Beautiful build, obviously, but it is somewhat like that advice about how to make a $100M, which starts like "start with having a $1M in your bank account." I was hoping to see all the process behind the "helmet" and "visor" parts of the build as well, which are obviously the most complicated to make and make the helmet.
Ah, you haven't heard/seen the 3d-print news! OK, not all that new of news. A fellah has come up with a Cura profile that prints clear solid parts! Lenses, prisms, clear windows. Done it myself with clear PLA. 50 micron layer height, 110% material flow rate, 15-20 mm/sec print speed, somewhat elevated nozzle temps, LOTS of cooling. The idea is that when layer #419 is being printed, it is also re-melting layer #418 and melting partly into layer #417. All this overlapping fusion makes for a truly solid part. The over-extrusion eliminates bubbles and voids, but the surface quality of the parts suffers. Lots of excess material ends up on the surface of the part. The surface looks scabby after printing, but remove the 'rind' and the interior looks like glass! I haven't gotten any of my attempts to be 'lens clear' yet, more tweaking to come, but I can clearly read text through 7mm of printed PLA! The downside is ridiculously long print times!
Do you know children between the ages of 7 and 10 are most receptive to that kind of humour and social cues? Dads commonly get used to the audience and stick with what worked.
Im looking for 3d print files for a space helmet, cant find ANY! I want to make a suit similar to this, but add a futuristic twist. If you found any space helmet files, please let me know!
@Shaun Gardner - Pretty typical unfortunately. Somehow, the people calling the shots and doing the camera work must not think it would be interesting enough. Go figure.
Awesome having a shout-out to Clickspring but don’t forget, your files only cut on the push and not the draw, so don’t apply force when pulling the, back, you’ll just blunt them. If anything, take the file off the surface completely on the draw until you’re practiced enough.
I can see it now - Adam, we need you to go to the space station and solve a tricky problem we're having with the confabulator. Your unique skills and abilities are what is needed. And while we're at it, it will be filmed and the youtube video will go viral and pay for your trip....
I just want to thank you guys and Adam for these awesome videos! I grew up watching him and it’s so good to be able to see him and be able to see him in a natural setting doing things his creative way. So your efforts are truly appreciated. Sending love from Australia
Cat oh man that’s so easy. Duct tape it to an oscillating saw blade. I do that wth my spray cans since I fatigue rreeeaaallly fast. And I just want to die by the time I’m through shaking it for “1 to 2 minutes “.
@@colinantink9094 the mechanics of making it is relatively simple, but I feel like Adam would make something elaborate and over the top, which would be cool to watch.
I don’t think they have a sound mixer on the crew. I think it’s just one videographer named Joey doing all this work. Maybe they’ve got another camera op at times but I think that’s about it
It enables the astronaut to easily close the visor and open it with the thick gloves they wear. They can't easily open and close the visor with them on, so the bailer bar gives them a boost up in dexterity.
Jonathan Andrews volatile product. Kids huff it too. And shipping transport over the interstate into California is extremely scrutinized and controlled.
"(a) Definition. This section covers locations where paints, lacquers, or other flammable finishes are regularly or frequently applied by spraying, dipping, brushing, or by other means; where volatile flammable solvents or thinners are used; and where readily ignitable deposits or residues from such paints, lacquers, or finishes may occur....." They're too flammable, says this document. www.dir.ca.gov/title8/2540_9.html
Adam, I love ya, but a one day build that begins with a professional custom 3d printed, sanded primed, sealed main piece is NOT a "One day build". How about a "One day final finish detail".
I just watched this video for the 1st time and as I read your comment, I'm looking over at two 3D printers both printing helmet parts (non NASA) and was thinking pretty much what you just said. 2 or 3 days to go still just for the parts. Only days upon days of sanding after that.
if you do get overspray, we use shark paper in high end finishing. also use cling wrap to cover large rounded or odd shaped portions and tape it to the tape. also the more red you have the brighter it will dry, the more black the darker it will dry. I am surprised you do not mix your own paints by now, its fairly simple use a good quality scale to weight out your pigments. then you can tailor it to what ever application works best(IE stain, or solid, oil, lacquer, or water based.....never use water based on wood, stick to laquer) always always always remove your tape right after the paint flashes.
Oh man! Lemme share the mental image this comment made me conjure up. I’m dead. In a white robe. Walking up to golden gates. Gates swing open on squeaky hinges. A man in white robes approaches me. As he gets close he utters these most holy words. “Gdday mate” and hands me a box of needle files and a brass blank.
instead of covering the entire helmet in masking tape, wouldn't it be easier to 'put it in a bag' and tape the edge of the bag to the first or second strip of tape?
literally i was thinking the same thing. he uses way too much tape hahahaha but then again hes a genius and has his own show so money isnt a problem for him
@@Hentaicho Paint dries pretty fast on maskingtape. Using plastic, any paint that gets on the bag, dries slow thus bound to go places you don't want it :)
I LOVE that Adam screwed up. It's real. It happens. It happens to the best of the best. I really hate build/science/maker channels that are "too cool for school" where everything goes off without a hitch (with selective editing).
I don’t get why people get so riled up over the word sewist. Language is an evolving thing and as the sewing makers find the english vocabulary lacking of an appropriate word for a person who sews they make one up. There are several reasons why one would avoid the word seamstress: It’s gender specific. It doesn’t traditionally include the creative process but rather only the manufacturing. I.e. one who operates the sewing machine, not the one who creates the garment. The machine operator at a car factory isn’t a car maker. Seamstress also generally means sewing as a profession, excluding the hobbyist. Dressmaker doesn’t cut it because that’s limited to women’s clothing or at best general clothing. What you should be advocating if sewist gets under your skin is the word SEWER which is a word, is in the dictionary and all that jazz. Plus it has the added bonus of being a heteronym with the poop and pee kind of sewer. Me, I kinda like sewist. There is certainly a need for it.
19:30 "that should join these two things in holy matrimony [beat] for a good portion of eternity" My sides aren't in orbit. My sides have reached escape velocity and are looking from above at those sides still in orbit.
@Adam I came here from the visor video, and I'm in love with the channel! Sad that MB ended but I love seeing you work and hearing your process, it's like a cool older neighbor with a garage full of tools teaching you the little tricks of project builds.
Super interesting video! I love these videos, so relaxing to watch and listen to. I kinda like the choice of having hardly any music as it means I can put my own on. It's a very fun experience watching Adam with early Green Day in the background xD
I appreciate the one-hour episodes because Adam is able to allow is deeper inside the mind of an engineer. The fact that the reflective tape was not perfectly center after meticulously cutting templates on purpose was mind-blowing to me. I love to hear all of these small tips and tricks he has learned throughout his career is why I watch these builds.
I love one day builds because it's the closest thing to Adam doing a brain dump. I could listen to him share knowledge all day and never once get tired of rambling.
Re: your paint containers--buy some bulk 3mm steel ball bearings, and drop a ball or two into each little paint bottle. Makes shaking and mixing really fast and thorough. You can re-use the bearings too.
@Brad Gulan - He was using a stubby countersink as a deburring tool with a handle he had likely made. It looked like a countersink for aluminum, primarily because it was a single flute. Many many types of deburring tools available. Dedicated deburring tools are actually more useful, as the type Adam was using is just for holes and not edges or curves, but having several different types is best. All tools for plastics should be extremely sharp and dedicated for the material.
Speaking of dad jokes. My dad didn't have som many of those but when I was younger I used to cringe at a lot of the things he did and said. Well, now I turn 37 tomorrow (Friday 21 Dec 2018) and I have during the last ten years realized that I am becoming more and more LIKE him. Funny how that goes right? ;-)
You have quite a bit of 355Hz ringing in your studio. You could run a very narrow notch filter to remove it from the video. That should be more effective than the noise gate, which makes it jump around in volume.
>Pinstriping tape aka: FineLine masking tape... They make that stuff and sell it at auto body supply shops. Also, 1/8" masking tape... Oh, the weird stuff I've masked with FineLine...
Adam, you gotta know that I love you. I absolutely revere ur model building skills, and I have been a life long fan of you and Jamie and Mythbusters, but there are 2 things that just kill me about you - esp being almost a scientist with all of ur other skills. Unfortunately you come from North America - you know - The World, which means that you join wires together with SODDER, yes the L must be silent, and secondly 41/64s. Forty one Sixty fourths, my God man - imagine just drilling a 15mm hole? But I have seen you take a measure like 6ft 9+3/8 inches! Those who use metric would round it up or down to 2 or 2.1 metres - that's an even 2000mm or 2100mm. Old dog - new tricks? Anyway I sooo respect you and admire ur skills - pity you aren't Australian. Keep up the awesome work.
Adam! KUDOS on the helmet! Looks REAL!!! I once had to put reflective tape on a helmet myself and got those annoying wrinkles (from the round surface). SUGGESTION: Would using a heat gun eliminate those wrinkles and shrink the reflective tape? It worked for me. Be Safe and Well! Love what you do! ~Dan
Where is Jaime now? can you collab with him. we really miss Mythbusters! hopefully some reunion, with your narrator of course! that would be really really fun! PLEASE...............
ADAM!!! If you got training on how to use your files, as you say, then WHY are you dragging it on the metal BOTH directions? Never drag in BOTH directions. You dull/ruin your files that way. Push your files. Never pull them backwards across the metal. Push, lift. Push, lift.
Such a Shame Adam is relegated to these little projects when MYTHBUSTERS had such beneficial Results by spreading Science knowledge to every age group.
Adam, not sure if you will actually see this... apply the reflexite tape hot... it will smooth easier onto objects just like car vinyl wrap. but not too hot or too much stretching since it is more brittle than standard vinyl tape.
