@@passage5248 because if it was tv it wouldn't be anything like this. Part of what makes a video like this enjoyable is the minimal editing, messy camera work, and general unprofessional style. It creates a more personal video. It can make you feel closer to whats going on. A tv show works differently, it has its benifits in that much larger scale things can be done you get the added joy of well done camera work, etc. Gonna be honest I'm loveing the less produced videos that are going on. Not to say I didnt enjoy the previous ones, but I love the sense of the videos feeling more personal. There is probably a better word for it.
When the voice over started it almost sounded like the beginning of an old detective movie. "So there I was, down in the gutter like yesterday's news paper"
Yes! Just this morning, I was listening to an audio book of Raymond Chandler detective radio plays from the late 1940s. Maybe I'll watch Bogart and Bacall in THE BIG SLEEP tonight. Great dialog.
I cannot express how much I love every time the shot starts with everything in view, then suddenly a tool post, lever or handle obscures the precise focal point. Precise obstruction.
Voice over stuff is always one of my favorite presentations for makers. The maker gets to fully focus on their build and then rediscover the build along the way while they create the voice over. So lovely.
Hell yes Adam. All the machinist out here are cheering you on. This is one of the first real projects you make when in school for manual machining. I made several of these throughout my three or four years of machining school. I took so many machining classes, trying to learn different technologies. Not so much to go to work as a machinist but to help me and my own business and toolmaking. I made an extremely similar group of vices… One made with manual machines, multiple vices made on the CNC mill and lathe, I 3-D printed and lost wax cast a version out of solid bronze, and I even made one using the EDM Machine (electro discharge machining) they are some of the handiest a little vices… I’m glad I made so many.... and so many pairs of V- blocks and parallels. They’re handy for everything from toolmaking, fettling vintage tooling and collectibles… Even small woodworking tasks related to violin and Guitar making. Violin Bow making in particular. Many students passed through classes in the school… they were only there to satisfy their parents… Or because they got free money from the state… Basically paid to go to school.. They weren’t interested in machining whatsoever. So they threw away their projects at the end of the year. I kept so many of them and I’m very glad I did. 15 years later I’m still using them daily. Adam… You’ve been such a influence through my childhood and adult life. I’m now in my mid-30s… And I enjoy watching learn and explore every day. Something that’s been on my mind for a while…… You need to check out some lasers and laser pointer/diodes/High powered fiber lasers and do some videos regarding them. TRUST MEEEEE!!!!! You would absolutely adore the laser Hobby. It’s like it was made for you! It’s your destiny!. The laser hobby includes everything from scientific and physics experiments in your basement… Done with technology that will build our future.... to building custom laser pointers/modules to burn things from a distance or explore the color spectrum. It literally involves everything you are good at. Machining, critical thinking, slight electronica and science knowledge, and a sci-fi loving creative brain! It’s a gold rush out here on the interwebs!!! You can purchase extremely powerful lasers and incredible government level equipment on eBay for pennies on the dollar. Lasers capable of punching a hole through brick. Literally burning stone with nothing but light from a good distance away. Stuff like that can be picked up on eBay all the time for literally pennies on the dollar. A laser module cost and $20,000 we knew a few years ago, can be found for a few hundred bucks! You would love it! You should check out the laser module videos by Marco Reps on TH-cam… Where he purchases some very high power fiber coupled laser modules and shows what they can do.
I've watched every single one of your one day builds, i watch them the moment i notice them on my feed, and this is by far my favourite. There are so many "more interesting" or fun builds but the silent work with the voiceover made this one in particular feel really comforting and intimate. I hope to see more voiceover style one day builds in the future!
@adam savage this build, with you narrating, was very relaxing. incredibly so. i wouldn't mind having this format regularly (intermixed with the regular one). Thanks!
I like how the genuine joy and love of the craft is even conveyed by voiceover. It's perfect weekend material too, not quite as chaotic/energetic and much more relaxed, yet still engaging. Adam is a magnificent host and the rest of the team is awesome as well.
@@lebesnec I would have to say "real life" is taking up most of Clickspring's time that or his current project just hasn't gotten to a good spot to upload his next vid, he also has a "clickspring clips" channel now where he uploads just the work with out any voice over and has uploaded a lot of content to that, not into that myself that guy has a great voice.
Oh Adam you little tease! My dad recently gave me a little vise that he built in the '70's and I use it almost every day in my work...watching this build has given me a better appreciation for the precision and dedication involved, so thankyou for that
This was really nice! It was refreshing to sit back, watch, and listen to Adam's voice over. I love these home made tools and watching their development in one day builds. Thanks so much for sharing with us Tested and crew!
I always finds great joy in watching Adam build things. And the casual nature of "this is a piece of brass from a boat me and Jammie blew up" lol I love how he can just say stuff like that.
Honestly, I really like the video with voice over a lot. Please do this style more often! I watch a knife maker, Green Beetle, who does this and it works well for him also.
These builds are my favorite. Adam is truly an expert at the “quick and dirty” as he would admit to, I think. Builds like these really demonstrate that he’s capable of these high-precision, high-detail projects, too.
Absolutely love it. The clapper board at the front of the video is quite cool, but ODB means something different to me.... The clickspring inspiration is definitely visible through this and I love to see what is clearly Adam using the time alone in the shop to develop new techniques and expand the workshop tooling, you've gotta have your vices... I'm inspired by the enthusiasm... I really want to get back into my workshop and start building things again, about a year ago I had to use it as "temporary" storage so I haven't really been able to use it as a workshop, I am finally clearing out the junk and this is keeping me motivated with that process... Thanks again Adam, you are such an inspiration.
Adam! What a guy always digging a search for ways to improve and bettering his understanding of the way the world works and why it works. Always grounded and never to full of himself.keep on making and making people happy!
I wonder if Chris has any idea that Adam keeps mentioning him. Should be good for the channel...or it would, if Chris wasn't busy with writing a paper and getting it vetted through the peer review process. Hope he's done with that malarkey soon - I really want to know what it was he discovered about how the mechanism was built. :-)
One of the reasons I really enjoy watching Adam is his open delight and energy while talking about what he's doing, it even gets me pumped to start working, even though I'm not a maker (at least of physical things). This video's more introspective feel was an unexpected yet nice surprise: just what I needed now even though I didn't know it yet. Thank you.
Listening to Adam talk about his builds makes me really miss mythbusters. I have all the seasons but always loved watching the new episodes. Glad I have this to fill the gap.
Adam: As much as I enjoy your one-day builds when you comment in real time, this was also great, and I would love it if you could do more of these and get the opportunity to work on your own, without the pressure of talking to us all the time, and still give us the content we so dearly want. It’s a win-win.
Please mix these two formats up regularly depending on the build!! The live stuff is invaluable, but this is some amazing, clean and beautiful maker porn. A perfect format for some longer builds.
The moment I discovered that I can make my own tools, it was a shift of paradigm, and not only have bring extra functionally to my making process, but true joy. Thanks Adam, this was great.
The voiceover reminded me of listening to Every Tool Is A Hammer! I love the softness of the way Adam is speaking, it's very soothing. And I absolutely loved the book!
I normally dont comment on videos, but I felt this was a worthy moment. I have always been a fan of listening to your one day builds, even as someone who hasnt yet really dove into the the making world. I just enjoy seeing passion and creativity made manifest.. idk anyways, just wanted to show some appreciation and let you know I enjoyed the voice over, allowing a post work analysis. Less distractions and potential insight havent completed and allowed time to breath and look back. Have a great day, and thank you so much Adam - F
"An actual tool that I'll actually use, that's rare." He says in the video in which he uses the modded band saw and die filer that he recently made. Also "a piece of bronze I salvaged from a boat Jamie and I blew up." is one of the most Adam savage sentences ever.
I would not be opposed to seeing more voiced over videos of Adam doing his one day builds. It condenses the video a bit but still gives him the chance to explain his reasoning behind doing a step/process. And if there is a major concept that he wants to explain in "real time" he can work that into the filming too.
Hey Adam, I recently rewatched your blade runner gun case build video, and you mentioned that you REALLY wanted to build Leon's case from The Professional. Are we ever going to get that one day build video? Would love to see that, and I'm hoping the squeaky wheel gets greased...
Hearing your unbridled enthusiasm for taking an old defunct object and turning it into something new and usable again, I feel like you would get a lot of joy out of channels like "hand tool rescue" and the like.
You are an incredible source of inspiration. We can feel how powerful the passion is when you talk about creative process in your work, and this is priceless. Such an example for all the creative people out there, thank you mr Savage !
Thank you for this episode. It brought back memories of Junior College when I was at Santa Monica City College taking a machine shop class. We call it screwdriver 101. My first project was a base C-clamp for a dial indicator with threaded holes and notches the clamp things to. Everything had to be done by hand. With the exception of machine turning the surface if you got that far. Teacher liked my example so much he put it in the display case and I just forgot they ever get it out of there
Clickspring is awesome, so glad you enjoy his work too. Before he died, my grandfather and I often discussed projects over the phone (he was back in blighty, im living in Australia) and Clickspring was one of our favourite topics towards the end. My grandfather taught me to use an engineering lathe when I was around 8 and i apprenticed as a wood Turner at 16. The lathe i learnt on was issued to my great grandmother during the war for her to wind tungsten filaments for searchlights at home, it lived in the kitchen. My grandfather was chief designer and engineer for Vintens, a company specialising in military and broadcast equipment. The official secrets act prevented him telling us some of the things he did until just before he died. It seems he was a lot more involved than we first thought. He was a gentleman and a wonder. Im blessed to have known him and have the early education he gave. I enjoy remembering him in all of the projects i work on (i now do a wide variety of work, a lot of engineering and fabrication of things) and it's lovely to see yourself and others like Chris so enthusiastic about what they're doing. Thanks! Pleasant Sunday viewing through a happy couple of tears. Dan
It's actually a satisfying feeling watching you use the tools we watched you build in the previous episodes. Also the voice over videos are fine, with those you can blast music while your working and not worry about those pesky copyrights, and it's still an awesome episode.
When I wen't to school to become a machinist, a vise pretty much like this was the first thing I got the plans for and made! And I have to say that for me, it too opened up my eyes and the confidence to go on and build way more complicated things. Great Video!
Hey Adam ive loved watching your one (multiple) day builds since the beginning! The added commentary over silent weekend adam is really good no need to disturb the adam in his natural habitat of making! Love you Adam keep making!
This might be one of my favourite builds / videos you have done. Love the voice over - amazing work Adam - your machining skills are showing great results from all the hard work.
In your last live episode you where talking about what one considers is art. This is pure art! Amazing Adam! Yes that is a tool you'll use but also it's so beautiful in how precise it is. It can easily just sit on the table to look at. Amazing that you used just scraps and created that. Shows how much skill you have
Oh man, really enjoying the whole narration style. The best of both worlds, the making and the reflecting you do at the same time. You should really do more of these!
What a lovely change of pace. It was great to have you narrate throughout the video. Great build. Similar in parts to some of the restoration videos that are out there.
I love this format, would love to see more done with this commentary style narration. Not all builds, but some for sure! I do love the pure chaotic energy that the love shoots give. :)
I actually really like the voiceover Adam, It brings what you're doing to life, as well as being able to hear what you think about your work in hindsight is really interesting
Adam, would love it if you combined the two styles. The impromptu live shooting is awesome. But this voice-over was fantastic as well. I think a combination of both is where it's at. I'm sure the production time is a little longer but I'm sure it would be worth it. Thanks so much for what you have provided for all of us for so long.
I love seeing a maker so seasoned and matured as you still having the eureka moments and changing and getting even better. You're like some Dragon Balls character - everyone thinks you're god level, but this isn't event your final form! Keep getting better and keep inspiring others to make things
I love Clickspring. I've watched the entire skeleton clock build three times. I'd watch it again but I don't want to get tired of it. Fire bluing just looks amazing every time I see it. If you want to start out with a single video I would recommend watching Chris build a card press for magician Chris Ramsey.
Nice video, nice build. I love the potential future where we get a mix of professionally filmed and edited one day builds, self shot one day builds when Adam has the energy to stop and talk about each step to camera, and these new formats where he just gets lost in the making and we get a voiceover explanation. Don't forget to take build days to yourself too Adam, the drive to package and monetize every single moment exists in all content creators, and is scary even to the experienced.
I swear I could just listen to you talk about projects all day. really love this voice over style video even though i know it wasnt initially your goal.
It's hard to see what is going on in the time lapses but having a voice-over of you explaining the process makes it a lot more interesting. I would love to see more of this in future One Day Builds since I absolutley love the series.
I knew you'd see the light on Carbide cutters eventually lol. They're awesome, and just like Ceramic they work great on all different types of materials. Great little build as always Mr Savage 👍👍
Love the voice over. It’s adds some insight in to the thought process after the fact which is so cool. Reminds me of listening to Tony Baxter voice over the original footage of when Disneyland was being built. Hope to see more of these!
I really like the voice over Adam!. Reminds me of cast/crew commentary on films. Great insight into what goes on, what you're thinking about in the process etc. Keep it up and stay safe everybody!.
You are my inspiration, to see you so excited about making your vice was intoxicating, I have recently made a 2 x 72 belt grinder and experienced the exuberance of achievement that we obviously both feel at achieving what we set out to make come to fruition. Stay safe Ian
Somehow, these more "low tech" productions work just as beautifully as the normal level of quality. Don't get me wrong, I love the time and effort the team put into videos when COVID isn't an issue, but these simple voice overs, or single camera productions just have that classic, authentic TH-cam feel that is very welcome. I won't complain when you switch back, but honestly I wouldn't complain if they stayed this way.
I actually don't mind this format at all! (Adam builds without talking then does commentary after). If this is easier for him to shoot while alone, then I am totally for it!
Every time I see that shopmade brass hammer (@2:41) with your shopmade handle, I can't believe it hasn't snapped right off. That is some impressive wood you've got there.
Machining is transformative on many levels. Thank you Adam, I appreciate your enthusiasm for my fairly new trade (2.5y). It's fun working at a crumb factory!
Ya know Adam, They should just lock you down permanently, and just let you build things and make videos of them. You have made this quarantine bearable with your enthusiasm and creativity. Thank You!
It’s so refreshing when celebrities discuss their vices openly and unashamedly.
Adam Savage can never go to rehab because that would mean he has to get rid of some vises.
The joke was right there, why didn't I think of that lol
Damn you sir, I was about to make this exact joke!
lol , was going to say everyone needs a good vice
You can never have to many vises.
"So this is a chunk of bronze I salvaged from a boat Jamie blew up" is the best thing I've heard all day thank you Adam.
Most people "it blew up" means it broke. These guys it means explosives were used,
Love the after-the-fact voiceover on this - would be great to do more videos like this!
Same
It reminds me a lot of Frank Howarth's channel.
Agreed, this is a great format and I find ut very relaxing to watch. I would like to see more videos made like this, too.
I agree! So relaxing!
Feels like watching the cast and director commentary of a movie!
I had to chuckle at the comment “here is a piece of bronze from a boat Jamie and I blew up”
That was a great, nonchalant drop-in, throw-away line that only a Mythbuster can get away with!
Yeah. I lost it. I mean, come on. Short of being a madman, who gets to say that kind of stuff legitimately. :)) Ah, this is great.
Today in "sentences only Adam Savage can say"...
Only Adam could say something like that haha.
Seriously, when he said that it didn't phase me but then I repeated it to myself and laughed, Only He could say something like that.
You're one of my favourite human beings alive, Adam!
Agreed!
Agreed!
Literally my hero.
This comment could not be any closer to the truth.
Like him so much
I am enjoying these one day builds too much Adam.
We're glad to hear that!

Im blessed to have known him and have the early education he gave.
I enjoy remembering him in all of the projects i work on (i now do a wide variety of work, a lot of engineering and fabrication of things) and it's lovely to see yourself and others like Chris so enthusiastic about what they're doing.
Thanks!
Pleasant Sunday viewing through a happy couple of tears.

Thanks for sharing your family story with us.
Adam Savage : Baumgartner Restorations Edition.
Not enough Belgian linen
@@IRRob. Remember *STERILISED STEEL TACKS*
I have to say that the voice over is waaaay easier to hear than some of the pieces to camera when you’re using tools, this is great!
*Why was the man fired from a calendar factory?*
He took a day off.
I heard that he was fired because he did not do weekends.
It's actually a satisfying feeling watching you use the tools we watched you build in the previous episodes. Also the voice over videos are fine, with those you can blast music while your working and not worry about those pesky copyrights, and it's still an awesome episode.
Adam: "You can tell how quiet the shop is right now. It's not a week day".
Me: "Yeah... Can't hear any Legos at all...".
*ANGRY LEGO SORTING NOISES*
The self satisfaction from making any tool is explainable unless you've done it. Thumbs Up!
This reminds me of watching crayons being made in Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood
When I wen't to school to become a machinist, a vise pretty much like this was the first thing I got the plans for and made! And I have to say that for me, it too opened up my eyes and the confidence to go on and build way more complicated things. Great Video!
I guess you could say vices are Adams vice
Vises are Adam's vice
I have never felt more relaxed than when I was listening to this voiceover. Love it!
“SuVICE to say”
Hey Adam ive loved watching your one (multiple) day builds since the beginning! The added commentary over silent weekend adam is really good no need to disturb the adam in his natural habitat of making! Love you Adam keep making!
This might be one of my favourite builds / videos you have done. Love the voice over - amazing work Adam - your machining skills are showing great results from all the hard work.
In your last live episode you where talking about what one considers is art. This is pure art! Amazing Adam! Yes that is a tool you'll use but also it's so beautiful in how precise it is. It can easily just sit on the table to look at. Amazing that you used just scraps and created that. Shows how much skill you have
Oh man, really enjoying the whole narration style. The best of both worlds, the making and the reflecting you do at the same time. You should really do more of these!
What a lovely change of pace. It was great to have you narrate throughout the video. Great build. Similar in parts to some of the restoration videos that are out there.
So enjoyable and therapeutic to watch you build things, Adam. Thank you for your abundant enthusiasm and sharing it with us.
I found that I really liked the format of this video, with Adam not talking on-screen, but narrating it in voiceover.
So satisfying to watch you work through a one day build, pulling out tool after tool that were previous one day builds.
I actually really loved the voice over style! If you could do more of these, not all the time but every once in awhile that'd be awesome!
I love this format, would love to see more done with this commentary style narration. Not all builds, but some for sure! I do love the pure chaotic energy that the love shoots give. :)
I actually really like the voiceover Adam, It brings what you're doing to life, as well as being able to hear what you think about your work in hindsight is really interesting
Adam, would love it if you combined the two styles. The impromptu live shooting is awesome. But this voice-over was fantastic as well. I think a combination of both is where it's at. I'm sure the production time is a little longer but I'm sure it would be worth it. Thanks so much for what you have provided for all of us for so long.
I love seeing a maker so seasoned and matured as you still having the eureka moments and changing and getting even better. You're like some Dragon Balls character - everyone thinks you're god level, but this isn't event your final form! Keep getting better and keep inspiring others to make things
I love Clickspring. I've watched the entire skeleton clock build three times. I'd watch it again but I don't want to get tired of it. Fire bluing just looks amazing every time I see it. If you want to start out with a single video I would recommend watching Chris build a card press for magician Chris Ramsey.
Nice video, nice build.
I love the potential future where we get a mix of professionally filmed and edited one day builds, self shot one day builds when Adam has the energy to stop and talk about each step to camera, and these new formats where he just gets lost in the making and we get a voiceover explanation.
Don't forget to take build days to yourself too Adam, the drive to package and monetize every single moment exists in all content creators, and is scary even to the experienced.
I swear I could just listen to you talk about projects all day. really love this voice over style video even though i know it wasnt initially your goal.
It's hard to see what is going on in the time lapses but having a voice-over of you explaining the process makes it a lot more interesting. I would love to see more of this in future One Day Builds since I absolutley love the series.
I am head over heels in love with this thing. Small precision tools are things of beauty.
The genuine, pure joy in Adam's voice when he says, "In the course of a few hours, I, I made myself a little vice!"
This voice over method was really refreshing! Hopefully we can hear you mix up this style more on upcoming videos!
We REEEEEEEEALY like this format much better!!! more like this please!! (Voice over commentary/ high-speed video)
I knew you'd see the light on Carbide cutters eventually lol. They're awesome, and just like Ceramic they work great on all different types of materials. Great little build as always Mr Savage 👍👍
The voice-over format is really nice. Wouldn't mind more like this. The voice is nice and crisp and the narration style has something soothing.
Love the voice over. It’s adds some insight in to the thought process after the fact which is so cool. Reminds me of listening to Tony Baxter voice over the original footage of when Disneyland was being built. Hope to see more of these!
This is my favourite video I have seen on tested over the last 5 years.
I loved the quiet voice over format of this video! It is so relaxing!
I really like the voice over Adam!.
Reminds me of cast/crew commentary on films.
Great insight into what goes on, what you're thinking about in the process etc.
Keep it up and stay safe everybody!.
I can't wait to see the whole thing once it is all done.. 🙌
Fantastic! Love the voice over. So relaxing.
You are my inspiration, to see you so excited about making your vice was intoxicating, I have recently made a 2 x 72 belt grinder and experienced the exuberance of achievement that we obviously both feel at achieving what we set out to make come to fruition.
Stay safe

Somehow, these more "low tech" productions work just as beautifully as the normal level of quality. Don't get me wrong, I love the time and effort the team put into videos when COVID isn't an issue, but these simple voice overs, or single camera productions just have that classic, authentic TH-cam feel that is very welcome. I won't complain when you switch back, but honestly I wouldn't complain if they stayed this way.
I actually don't mind this format at all! (Adam builds without talking then does commentary after). If this is easier for him to shoot while alone, then I am totally for it!
I love the silent footage and commentary - it's like watching an old Super 8 movie with Adam.
Every time I see that shopmade brass hammer (@2:41) with your shopmade handle, I can't believe it hasn't snapped right off. That is some impressive wood you've got there.
Machining is transformative on many levels. Thank you Adam, I appreciate your enthusiasm for my fairly new trade (2.5y). It's fun working at a crumb factory!
Ya know Adam, They should just lock you down permanently, and just let you build things and make videos of them. You have made this quarantine bearable with your enthusiasm and creativity. Thank You!
