Inside Adam Savage's Cave: C-3PO Protocol Droid 

Check out Adam Savage's Chewbacca and C-3PO One Day Build! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9xpPXpnnCNI.html

Props to the Star Wars fan that tried so hard for this!

You need the wires on his stomach.

2:45 C3PO: "Oh my, i almost lost my head!"

This was a fun project. We used approximately two ounces of 99.9% gold in the coating process which is valued at $3500 today, the actual gold used was mined near Baker City Oregon. The gold thickness is approximately 2000 Angstroms thick. The base and clear coat was applied by Greg Bent at Aspen Coatings and finish works was done by Nathan Lembcke and Glenn Rueckert. It is an absolute joy to see this piece on display in Adam's Cave. Jason Olson CTO, REC

The BEST story teller! Love these snippets of Adam's collection.

Anyone else just watching these TESTED videos with Adam Savage back to back to back? I've seriously been watching them for hours, so good.

what a great collectors piece

I'm really glad you were involved in this piece and did so much to contribute to it. And the fact that you took the time to let us know some of its background and details is wonderful. Thanks a lot. :)

not to be that guy but where are the wires in the center of c3po

This is my favorite show that you guys do. Hands down.

the reason mythbusters crew is all so awesome is that they all have passion ! awesome video ! C3PO RULES !

Priceless

he has so many cool stuff it would be a dream come true if i ever would be able to visit his mancave

It looks better smooth than rough!

I didnt know they worked at industrial light and magic until this. Even more respect now!

I love that Adam Savage is on this channel! Great reviews and hands on with the latest stuff AND one of the mythbusters?! Subscribed! :D

one word... AWSOME

I love how animated adam gets when he talks about science and processes

Wow. Im more impressed and amazed at the STORY than the actual 'statue' of C-3PO

Adam's cave is amazing!!!!!

what an awesome story. i like adam so much more in off-the-set situations like this than his mythbusters persona.

What a great representation of my Star Wars favorite character.

I love Adam's cave.

Isn't C-3PO right lower leg more silver color?

This is too awesome, again.

True 24 karat gold C-P30.. If I could I'd like this a million times. Always be testing.

I actually know the dude that coated this, he was my dads roommate for a number of years. My dad also was the one who sanded it before getting coated (not the other dude). But it's really cool to know that at one point I got to touch it before it ended up with Adam.

One of the awesomest episodes in this series. And that's no small feat! And OMG, Will, Norm, whoever... go on and ask Grant about his experiences with the 3PO costume RIGHT NAO! :o

That is one hell of a story

Sulu was inside C-3PO? Oh what a wonderful world. I just started loving Grant even more, if possible. What a lovely day.

This IS the Droid I am looking for!

Grant HAS to appear in the 3po costume at least from the neck down for one episode for [insert mythbusters or tested]. its total fan candy!

This is awesome!

Good stuff keep it coming

Great cave!

Nicely done, Adam Savage. Worked at ILM. Dude. Thank you for sharing your cave. (Found this on CBZ's iheartchaos site) Next? Rocket pack story: let's go. Thanks testedcom. And, Grant Imahara's cave? Oh yeah

Very Cool. Adam you have such awesome toys.

YES! THE C3PO VIDEO!

I have gained so much respect for Anthony Daniels’ book. It insane.

awesome stuff!

this youtube channel is the besssssst

So Where's the R2 video?

I know it doesn't match the description in the books, but when I read Isaac Asimov's Robot's of Dawn this is how I picture Giskard. (Maybe a little more bulky) If you don't know the book, everyday Auroran robots had pseudo-skin that was designed to look like a cross between clothes and skin in an aversion of the Uncanny Valley, but I just can't see that in my mind. His partner Daneel, being humaniform, always reminded me of a tall Scandinavian.

why does this channel has so few subscribers? this is awesome!

Huge respect to Adam Savage for the Metropolis reference!

4:14 SPIRITED AWAY GHOST!!! I LOVE HIM!

Nice Job!

2:41 LMAO!!!!

The best part of 'gold', it's #1 recommended for motherboards.

Also been working on a really good diy metalizing technique. Tutorial videos in progress...

"His companion will get much better coverage in a couple months" 6 years later Still no R2-D2 video

Nice! You so lucky!

ADAM! I've been building a C3PO as well. Fully wearable. (yes, i can fit) Grant actually gave me a little help early in the build. I've got lots of videos about my build on my page..

great stories

Great Story. I want one soooo bad. and I want to wear it.

Funny story thanks!

Cool droid model adam

when is the video of his counter part coming?

wow thats what you call a big fan! gold?!

What doesn't this guy have ??? :D

Is that a partial Plo Koon mask in the glass case behind Adam?

Love this. You guys MUST get Grant on the show to get some cool stories from him in this costume and former robot wars career.

adam you are a beast

FYI, it doesn't say *pop*, usually you use an electronbeam to melt the metal to the vaporization point... takes a few minutes to coat that thick layer...

welded aluminum is amazing!

FINALLY!

hey you're right!!

IIRC in some scenes his leg is silver and some it is gold. We decided due to concern for the success of the coating process to go for the all gold look. Had the model been broken separated at the knee Adam would have received a silver legged C3PO. J Olson

Hi whats that alien figure in the glass box in the back? Looks interesting. Similar to those grey aliens i read so much about.

Would you say C-3PO is gold or brass?

cool story bro!

2:44 - I shared Adam's terror when 3PO got bumped and his head wobbled! LOL

Now I want to hear Grant's 3PO stories.

If anyone could tell me where that skull in the background is from I would really appreciate it. :)

I thought that for years until I noticed 3PO has always had a silver leg (even in A New Hope). Some say it's an optical illusion because in some scenes he seems to have 2 golden legs. But look carefully, and you'll see that most of the time, he has his silver leg already. Revenge Of The Sith is the only film where he's shown with 2 perfectly golden legs.

What's worth more the actual c3p0 suit used in the movie or this actual gold c3p0

I loved it when adam bumped the 3po I thought he was going to dive to the floor to cushion the fall of the 3po head lol

3PO 4 LIFE!

I just want to be in the near of his man cave :3 Every thing in and around it is amazing!

Where's the video on R2 he mentioned :(

I just gotta ask: what is that book on the skeleton stand? The book right behind Adam, what is it?

Back in 1968, my Buddy Robert Bookbinder had Don Post masks, which went for about a hundred bucks back then. We were 17 years old. HE got that kinda dough as an allowance back then. I think I got about, well, you know..you could buy a model kit. So, we made a movie...Trick or Treat on Baker St., combining the Sherlock Holmes characters with a search for a missing mummy. I'd love to have that film now....Bob passed in the eighties, and his mother wasn't turning over anything...

This video made me forget about my shitty life for a few minutes. Thank you for uploading.

Literally the most expensive threepio😁

hell yea

Is that the guy from myth busters?

You guys have to interview Grant about that story would be awesome to hear :D

Most impressive.....are you going to make one leg silver? Love your passion and art talent!

What's the skull in the shelf from?

R2D2 video coming anytime soon?

There needs to be an interview with Grant about this!

damn the world works in wonderful ways

yes

I am in love.

Love how Adam has a gold-plated C3P-0, not because he has a tendency to excess, but because people just plain like him.

The request from Mr Savage was simply "I want a gold C3PO" which I believe was successfully delivered. J Olson "the kid" Chief Technical Officer REC

Sting in the background... Nice.

I'm probably not the only one who thought he would come to life at the end of the video.

hmm wonder why he went with a purple tint for the eye lighting instead of the classic yellowish
