      you could of preplanned the shop using your miniature of the shop to test place everything and figure out working spaces and lighting ... you did build a miniature f the place afterall ... may as well use it to make the shop work ... yup 3d print the tools and cabinets etc ... to scale ..

      The difference between a hoarder and a curator is having more interesting stuff. All of this stuff you have could be a museum. It'd be an inspiration to creatives and another stream of revenue for you. It'd be like a storage space that pays you.

      Hey Adam! Great video of the initial reorg of your space. I went through something similar as we just moved 2 months ago from a home we lived in for 20 years. I have worked in the injection molding field since 1994 and just started woodworking about 5 years ago. My garage was my workspace for many things. Moving it 8 miles away was a chore, but we managed to move it, and all of the belongings of 5 people and almost 30 years of marriage-collected stuff. The day WILL come where you will sit back and ask yourself "how did I do all of that without losing my mind???" And you will swear to NEVER do it again...

      I dunno. To me, it always looks like a mess that only makes sense in Adam's head. There is plenty of awe to be had from the display/gallery side and the shop side, but I don't think a gallery should be part of the shop. It tends to look like a collection of everything just pushed out of the shop to make more room. Looking forward to seeing how it changes.

    HOLY CRAP! I understand this 100% Back in October I started a massive shop renovation (massive for me on my scale) and when you said "I don't know how we are going to get through this, there are too many steps" - I felt it. That was me right at that point. Fast forward to 3 months later and my impossible task has been chipped away by me putting "one foot in front of the other" and now my space is not only expanded, but it's functional AND there were improvements that I didn't even know I could make until I started.
    Adam, you inspired me to be a Maker. You have inspired me to take leaps into things that are so scary, but absolutely worth it. Thank you for being wonderful.

    I'm so happy to see you documenting this process.
    We all need to declutter every now and then, or re-arrange our spaces, but we never have the motivation to get it done, because we know how much work it'll be. We know that it would be better if we got around to it, and it would feel good to get it done, but the impetus to get started is never there. Hopefully this gives more of us the nudge we need to clean up.

    • @SyntheticFuture
      @SyntheticFuture 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I took the first 2 weeks of this year off just to declutter and reorganize my attic. Still not 100% done but getting there. There was also less stuff than Adam's cave 😅 But yeah it's a mammoth task.
      The reward though. Every time I open the door now it just makes me happy. The space can breath again. That's a great feeling and definitely worth going through all the effort for.

    I've worked as an instrument repair technician since 1987, and in that time, I have worked in 7 shops. The 1st was a shop I built with no concept of flow. The last three (two of which I helped) and the third I built on my own, I gained a huge appreciation for flow. This video shows how it is very true that a shop is forever changing. Having been in my current shop the last two years I have decided that more organizations is still needed. Thanks for the motivation to get at it.

    I am a prolific Lego builder, who's been building and displaying for 25 years. 3 years ago my wife and I bought a new house, which tripled my workshop space. A few months ago I put in a bunch of new workbenches and storage to organize my system, and the first time it was done and I looked upon it, I had the same ebullient feeling that you had at the end of this video. As a maker (although in a different format), there is nothing quite like spending half a lifetime doing something, and then finally have a setup that feels "right". Thank you for letting us follow along with your journey. Your joy is infectious.

I have a small pegboard at my bench at work with the ~5-10 tools/materials I use 90% of the time. Whenever I need one, I just reach out and grab it, no need to take my mind off of whatever I am doing to get up and look for a tool. This is more workshop specific, but don’t put tools in drawers, unless they are rarely used/specialty, put them on pegboard or similar, save drawers for consumables like sandpaper.

I have a week to move it and clean the old place. Mentally it hasn't been great, physically my back is killing me. But hearing Adam talk about his mental process where he knows where it needs to be but there's too many steps to see the whole plan and just knowing what the next step is really resonated with how I'm feeling.

    I laughed so hard when Adam said "I thought I dropped the internet. But it's still working. So, apparently, I dropped some old version of the internet."

    You’ve achieved a brilliant huge space in your Adam Savage cave, watching all of that was like doing all of my weekly chores as a child in my house. Well done Adam Savage, I’d love to see you put in more huge products. I love watching you build even at 56 years of age.

    This is a great move. I know a few people like Adam who have literally boxed themselves into a corner. At the end of the day, it's a blank canvas that tends to feel the most inspiring.

    I really like to see other people work in their shop. I'm in my 3rd home workshop now. I built all 3 of my shops and my current shop is in New Mexico. My hardware storage is in my work table which I built and is in the middle of the shop. This table doubles as a outfeed table for the table saw. The table top is 4 by 8 feet and 1.5 inches thick. The base for the table has sliding doors on both sides to keep dust out of the hardware bins and tools stored there. I covered the table surface with flooring material which can be changed when needed. I enjoy watching all of your builds and have been following you since your Myth Busters days. Two things to remember. You can never have too many clamps and if you don't know where a tool is, it's the same as not having it. That is why organization is so important.

    Watching this tile-puzzle shift and eventually come into focus gave me flashbacks.
    When we moved to our current house, my entire model collection got dumped in the spare room that would eventually become my display room. 144 sq/ft room with 9' ceiling packed floor to ceiling with boxes and totes. Just a path around the one side of the room to get to the walk-in closet that was also packed to the door. Trying to install display shelves, then find the items to put on those shelves, so I could uncover more wall space to add shelves to. It was a long and draining process. Though every time I got a shelf up, and things put on it was a small victory and gave me the drive to keep moving.

      After I moved two years ago, my Model Building Room was so full that I vould barely get the door open. So I just worked my way in from the hallway, one box at a time.

    I have always referred to big, multi-part projects as a "tile game". Adam - your cave restructuring project is giving me heart palpitations. I wish I had your enthusiasm and positivity when tackling projects like that. My garage makes me want to dig a hole and lie in it.

    This video could not have come at a better time! I am a self proclaimed novice maker; and recently I was able to start my business which allows me to work towards making things as a full time career. Also recently I moved, which meant that I moved workshops. Previously, I had a tiny one car garage as my worshop, which was very....cozy to say the least. Now, I have a 700+ Sq. Ft. workshop which I have been neglegting to really establish myself in. For the last few months I have been working out of my truck and using my worshop as more of a storage space. But that ends today! Thiss video gave me the insspiration I needed to start transforming my new space into the workshop of my dreams that will carry me into full time making as a career. Thanks Adam!

    Adam wandering around looking and pointing at things before stuff happens in every other shot is probably the most succinct explanation of my own reorganization "get it done by only knowing the next step" methods. I love love love these insight videos just as much as the Q&A and ODBs. Loved the Plausible placard in the background of the end sequence too :)

    These shop overhaul videos have finally motivated me to set up proper stations for each of my hobbies. And now that most of the work desks are in place, it is astounding how much extra space i have now. Enough room for even more specialized tools that i didnt think i would ever have the space for.
    Its also weirdly lifted a sense of apprehension off my chest that i didnt even know i had.
    Just sitting in a place that is designed by you and for you gives me so much motivation to pick up a new project to work on instead of doomscrolling

    Great video Savage! I just watched your 'Ask Adam Savage - Origin story of the Cave' and 'If you could rebuild your shop from scratch' yesterday, now 2 years on here you are! Very inspirational and so happy to see the motivation and excitement from you acquiring ILMs 'Pandora Model Vault'. It's a perfect fit and the fact that you have kept it as it was originally intended is humbling and your additions to the collection are mammoth. We want more! Show us more!

    Adams shop has inspired me over recent years to make better use of my own space. I just have a 2-car garage in your average suburban home (about 400 square ft) to work with. The amount of equipment, tools and storage I have been able to incorporate into my space and still keep everything accessible and have space to work has amazed even me. A shop is always an ongoing process and I enjoy seeing Adam get such joy from his reorganizations because I know the feeling well.
