The Terminator 2: Judgment Day T-800 Endoskeleton Arm Prop! 

This is so cool!

@Bastiaan Most of the projects are probably carbon negative. Most projects would be transformative, ie you're taking a sunk cost and manipulating it, so little 'carbon cost' inherent in the project. So take an example of Louis XIV furniture. The genuine items have captured carbon since the end of the 17th century. Compare that to modern furniture that falls apart after a couple of years and ends up in landfill. A lot of making is also about reuse, recyle and repurposing objects or materials that may otherwise end up in landfills as well. So makers and craftsmen should be able to claim carbon credits, like Tesla. Some of the rest gets more complicated. So there are carbon costs in tracking carbon waste, as well as economic costs. That may exceed any benefit. This is a general flaw with a lot of recyling in that a lot of energy gets used to recyle objects into stuff that has no, or very little economic value. You can also have fun with comparing efficiency. So it may take a few kW of electricity to use a power tool. It may take more energy to do something by hand, considering the average person exhales around 250kg carbon a year. Obviously more if they're doing hard work. Then there's overheads like shop heating/lighting, which you'll use more of, if the work takes longer doing it by hand. It's a fun subject if you dig into it about where the costs and efficiencies really lie. Producers promote recyling because that offsets their obligations and passes them onto consumers. Producing less waste in the first place would benefit everyone, but cost the producers more.

It used to be movie "magic" to create those films, but know the answer is just in the computer.

What tight budget? T2 had a budget of "get it done" 🤣

@@victoriaregina8344 true. Still they made something epic

@@victoriaregina8344 Applicable with T1

Hey thanks to *you* buddy

Tea? What a sissy

Thank you for your service.

Thank you hero. Thank you. ❤️

Thank you for the kind comment; it means a lot to us.

T1 did it for me - the scene where he cuts out his eye and fixes his arm - then the whole part where he comes out of the burning pile of steel to chase john and sarah. My brother in law works at Argonne National laboratory....sucks I live in Lake County - would be so awesome to work there.

I see what you did there

Well done!

oh , well played Ash

Has a good grasp of things doesn’t he

You really went out on a limb with that pun

Agreed. A lot of these props should be in museums. Once they are in private hands, they are usually never seen again.

Underrated comment!

Are two movies really considered a series? Who knows what "could have been" if only they made more. They might have been shit, but you never know.

@@28Pluto It's one of six apparently: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_(franchise)

Hah. Literally just commented that and I see someone else watched Ian. His hand is incredible.

@@evictioncarpentry2628 Ian's work is mechanical art, he deserves to be recognized for his design an machinist skills.

I fully agree with you. It would be awesome if he could get on here some how to get some exposure for his work.

Why?

Adam always comes across as very respectful. And the fact that he's allowed to handle such an object means that the curators know that the object is stable enough to be handled without being damaged.

On the film set these would probably be handled with a lot less care 😅

@@SyntheticFuture I mean this might be the prop in the glass tube that was tossed on the floor in the movie.

@@aaronpreston47 that seems pretty likely indeed. And aside from that unless props are especially fragile (never a good idea for movies....) tossing then around a bit is just 'free weathering'. There's some irony in collectors trying to keep everything 'exactly as it was' 😂

good eye

I really hope someone sees this and fixes it now. Very observant.

It looks as though you can rotate the joint at the bottom of the thumb that goes into the 'palm'. I'd say this just needs rotated to the proper position.

In some shots it looks to be the right way then others is turned. I think it’s able to rotate so was flopping around and ending up whichever way. Maybe the cable is what would have kept it in position better. But, they’re an auction house and not a restoration shop. Even Adam isn’t likely to get involved with trying to fix stuff in this setting. If whoever buys it wants to fix it up that’s up to them.

Bro posted this like a minute after it came out how'd you even watch the vid

@@jnsbing ?? it wasnt a complicated video.. why dont you go find something to do

If I had a Penny for each time a mirrored shot is included in a movie... you know the rest. Woud you not save money by using the same prop in both shots? I do not know if that is what they did, but one wonders.

Props to the prop master.

The nacelles aren't right for the c looks like it's the ambassador refit beautiful ship either way

You don’t say.
