Yeah. It reminds me of the box for the Blade Runner gun, which was the first of Adam’s videos I watched. Was definitely a factor in getting me to start making stuff.
Crazy how I would take a box like this totally for granted but seeing it all built gives me such an appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into it
The part that he stated "I think my gloves are compromised" and went to promptly change them shows clearly that Adam is very experienced and comfortable as a craftsman, but doesn't allow himself to become lax. Allot of people would have gone "meh they're compromised already so whats the issue?" Its the experienced crafters that get injured most often as they become comfortable and so become lax. I do wish he took a moment to address it though. Proper safety measures are always a great thing to mention, especially what to do when they fail.
I just watched Hamilton live here in the Philippines, thought nothing of it at first, just brushed it off as a "unique" broadway show, I liken it to just something I just pass by a mall without a care in the world. I just went for my GF, after watching it, it's probably one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. It's always been stuck in my head for over a month now and that very rarely happens. It's one of the best THINGS I have ever had a pleasure to experience. If you can go, GO!
FYI for anyone aiming to get these, the base is model 1043/L, but it may come with the wrong hammer, so you may need to switch it out for the style on their model 1031/L. Also, the original Public Theater production's props were on display years ago with unaltered gold parts, so that can still be considered accurate.
It seems i am among the masses in the sens that i also absolutely love watching Adam make boxes. I also love fancy and specific containers and so every time i see him making a box of any sort i get so excited. I would also like to say that appreciated the shot explaining detail requirements for theater, movies, and in person. It made me laugh out loud.

For anyone checking out the Denix link, the base model is correct, but the hammer with the loop on top is wrong, so you may need to switch it out for the style on their model 1031/L (or perhaps write to them and request that).
Adam. Have you ever tried using cloth, wrapping your object tightly to get the curves, and then using the vacuum former to get the perfect shape for an object, and then using flexi-felt to cover it and create a perfectly smooth and tight fit for your fragile/older relics? It looks beautiful.
Years ago a gun magazine hired an expert to examine the dueling pistols, which were kept in a private Rockefeller museum at the Chase Manhattan Bank. He claimed in the article that Hamilton's gun was modified to have a hair trigger, presumably to give Hamilton an advantage. The theory he presented was that Hamilton was a bit nervous, and accidentally fired early, missing his mark and hitting a tree branch. Burr then had time to aim precisely.
In the two productions of Hamilton I've seen he fiddles with his pistol just before the duel starts, I've assumed this was a nod to him adjusting the set (hair) trigger.

9:20 - 9:26 REALLY important stuff right here. Don't spend your life making a museum quality artifact that stands up to the most detailed scrutiny, when it's only ever gonna be seen from 15' away.
Adam, when you say it's fine, we all know it isn't fine and somewhere in your subconscious, you are freaking out. I know the feeling. ❤Love the channel! Been a huge fan for many years!
Wow this is awesome because I just watched you build nightstands and you were afraid or at least sucked at angle cuts. You've been a long time hero of mine thank you Adam for being a humanitarian!
Adam, you are *not* Done: a proper pistol case needs a tag on the inside of the lid of the Box - And in this case, it should read "Adam Savage, California"!
Idk why I expected anything less from THE Adam Savage, but people actually knowing what Dramaturgs are makes my little B.A. in Theater heart happy. That said....those classes...I was there....I passed them...but I had way more fun in my Tech and Acting classes. My lack of interest however does not diminish the importance Dramaturgs have to a production!!
Nice job, though a caution: your featherboard looked pretty far back at the start, you don't want side pressure behind the point of cut if you can help it.
I like that box construction for presentation cases for real firearms instead of the Manufacturer's modern blow-form cases they come with...or just a cardboard shipping carton.
Adam, I really enjoy watching your process. One little thing on this one scared me though. When you were cutting your box into 2 pieces, your feather board was in a very dangerous place. It should never apply pressure past the front edge of the blade as you cut. Putting pressure where the blade is can cause kickback. Just a thought
Adam, please tell us about your reaction to I Did A Thing's new TH-cam video about dropping a coin off the top of a building. He demonstrates a compelling argument that the coin could do some serious damage if thrown! I was wondering whether the coin would start to tumble as it fell further, or would it maintain a spin like demonstrated in his video? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
I have been wanting to make a similar box for an original British flintlock sea service pistol I bought from a museum. It was a battlefield pick up from the battle of New Orleans during the war of 1812. I still take it out and fire it on Special Occasions. Great shooter, but it's very hard to hit anything, being it has no sights
I had never seen Hamilton or heard any of the music until a few weeks ago. My daughters middle school did a trip to see it in Chicago and they let them get tickets for family as well. I was NOT expecting what we got. I’m more familiar with traditional mainstream broadway and musicals. My daughter was named after Eliza Dolittle so yeah. Now she knows why her music teacher always sings her name the way she does. I was pleasantly surprised with the whole thing.
As to the boxes appearance on stage you're most likely referring to the 6 foot 6 inch rule. At 6 feet it looks flawless but at 6 inches you can see it's true construction. Which also applies to reproductions and repairs of real antiques.
If you ever get the chance there is a great episode in the first season of Lovejoy with Ian McShane that is all about a mystical pair of Durs flintlock. If you read the book version it goes into some detail about dueling. Both are the tv program and the book are called The "Judas Pair"
I have sincere issues with the fact that Adam didnt stain and lakier the whole inside. Its such a small extra effort and it would seal everything. I am aware that "nobody will know"... but I would know and it would bother me that I couldnt spare this bit of effort while doing so much effort to making something so nice.
I want Adam to weigh in on Acme V Coyote, now that it's shelving is potentially the subject of a congressional investigation; do it for all the set designers, animators, writers and actors whose work was short-circuited because of How The Laws Work. Thank You. (A duel of another type, all too real)
The prop version of the Spanish culture of "this will do just fine". And guess what, they do just fine for what they are meant for. As few as needed moving parts, all cast. You won't get the "cling clang" or "clap clap" of a working replica, but for the price, you can run on the background with one of these clenched on your hands for as many hours, as harsh environment as you get, and no one will ever make the difference.
I had a set of those pistols my Father purchased back in the 70's. I cant believe anyone would talk about them without mentioning the secret hair trigger they found when they took them apart. Sheds a whole new light on the supposed "duel"...
I strongly suspect that in SF there is a company that would have plated those parts in a bright nickel solution, then a dark nickel. Then run them through a vibrio polisher, and coated them with clear lacquer. And because you are you they would have done it today, and charged only a few dollars.
I'd love to see more really basic videos on how you mange do get the beautiful 45' cuts on your wood and what kind of skills are required to replicate that. I'd love to blame my tools. It's not my tools.
All that work to hide the grain ends of plywood, but then you left them on the edges where you cut the box open so that when the box is opened my eyes are immediately drawn to the bands of plywood. A bit of adhesive veneer strips, frequently used on the edges of furniture, would've hidden that. But I realize this is just theater quality you're going for.
Out of all the complex builds and repairs that Adam does on this channel, I love nothing more than watching him make a freaking box lol.
Right???!!!
Yeah. It reminds me of the box for the Blade Runner gun, which was the first of Adam’s videos I watched. Was definitely a factor in getting me to start making stuff.
I love exquisite containers. Always have. From nice cardboard boxes as a child to well-made wooden boxes today.
I second that! The first ever ODB I saw, was the beaver box. And I was hooked. 😂
@@steadfasttherenowned2460Anything that’s someone’s thing. Aggie Cromwell’s bag, Yugi’s card box. All of them are amazing.
Watching Adam make boxes and other one day builds is what got me through the pandemic.
Adam's slow but inevitable transformation into a mad scientist makes me so happy.
Crazy how I would take a box like this totally for granted but seeing it all built gives me such an appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into it
Box builds are my favorite for some reason. Nothing beats a good box! Thanks for being such a life-long inspiration, Adam!
The part that he stated "I think my gloves are compromised" and went to promptly change them shows clearly that Adam is very experienced and comfortable as a craftsman, but doesn't allow himself to become lax. Allot of people would have gone "meh they're compromised already so whats the issue?" Its the experienced crafters that get injured most often as they become comfortable and so become lax. I do wish he took a moment to address it though. Proper safety measures are always a great thing to mention, especially what to do when they fail.
Beautiful result! Adam's chaotic energy is so satisfying to watch, especially as a person with ADHD and a penchant for making things.
28:40 "Doesn't that look all official, n' shit?" might be one of my favorite Savage quotes ever.

I like that we sneeze at the same time, really gets the immersion going.
You can tell when Adam doesn't like the way something is made by the way he says "It's fiiiiiiine. There's nothing wrong with it, it's fiiiiiiine!!"
I’m always a fan of a box building video. It’s cool to watch and learn how Adam builds them.
It seems i am among the masses in the sens that i also absolutely love watching Adam make boxes.

5:37 Yes, I couldn't agree more Adam, well said.

40 minutes of Adam building a box! Heck yes!
You dont seize to amaze me with all the builds and other stuff that you do been a fan since the early days of mythbusters you are all legends
Box builds, the superhero of the Adam Savage universe.
did not realize electroplating could be that quick, really cool. box is very nice too.

Great build and rebuild! Awesome case and improved Denix guns. Thank you for sharing!
What a build , you make it look so so easy and it is not lol , Brilliant Adam just Brilliant .
Adam Savage building a box; peak TH-cam content. I love it.

Please watch the above video.This man is as genuine and genius as you are, and he resembles you a lot as well.

Amazing build! Thanks Adam and tested team!
I also love your Wilton vise, that is just pure beauty.

I love watch Adam making boxes.
I love your box builds. That looked really, really nice.
Wow this is awesome because I just watched you build nightstands and you were afraid or at least sucked at angle cuts.
You've been a long time hero of mine thank you Adam for being a humanitarian!
5:38 - 5:50 is peak Adam Savage.
I like how Adam was super careful about not cursing in his earlier videos but now he doesn't give a... Shit. Lol
Adam, you are *not* Done: a proper pistol case needs a tag on the inside of the lid of the Box - And in this case, it should read "Adam Savage, California"!
I'm putting a TV in my space so I can watch and listen to Adam as I work on my projects lol
I want to do the same thing Adam is doing here but with the dueling pistols from the 4th John Wick movie.
Beautiful work! Absolutely fantastic. Love Uberti's work as well, my dad has a couple of their black powder revolvers, quite fun. Great video! ❤
Thank you

As a mentor in theatrical design of mine used to say, "From a distance, it'll look far away."
Nice job, though a caution: your featherboard looked pretty far back at the start, you don't want side pressure behind the point of cut if you can help it.
I own one of those Denix pistols, in silver (more like gunmetal). They are comfortingly heavy.
I like that box construction for presentation cases for real firearms instead of the Manufacturer's modern blow-form cases they come with...or just a cardboard shipping carton.
You should do a Adam Makes a Box Series. It should be instructional too!
Adam, I really enjoy watching your process. One little thing on this one scared me though. When you were cutting your box into 2 pieces, your feather board was in a very dangerous place. It should never apply pressure past the front edge of the blade as you cut. Putting pressure where the blade is can cause kickback. Just a thought
that's why there were burn marks at the end of every cut
15:13 you should get a 90 degree attachment for that mill. Would make operations like that soo much more easier.
Is it weird that when Adam says a scene for the pistols I can already kind of see what it would look like?
Adam and the never ending battle with his hair
Lovely! General Trelaine (Retired) would be thrilled!
Adam, please tell us about your reaction to I Did A Thing's new TH-cam video about dropping a coin off the top of a building. He demonstrates a compelling argument that the coin could do some serious damage if thrown! I was wondering whether the coin would start to tumble as it fell further, or would it maintain a spin like demonstrated in his video? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
GOD Bless you, Adam. (For the sneeze)
There's just something about stained wood lined with green pool table felt that warms the cockles!
"Doesn't that look all official and shit." - Adam Savage 😂👍
Muy entretenido el vídeo Adam la caja para las pistolas quedó realmente genial 👍👍👌
Box builds are the best.
Hey Adam. Hoping to see some drama over the Loki Time Radiation space suit. Seems like they made it specifically for you.
Damn Adam, those went from Dollar Tree to the Smithsonian.
Kind of fascinates me to see Adam just slap the lid latches on kinda wherever. I don't think I could get by without measuring them out
I’m not sure why, but I’m surprised he works in inches rather than the more precise and simple to use millimeters. Great build.
I’m more interested in the presentation case than the pistols….
I have two matching Kentucky pistols that need a great case..
I have to ask, but have you ever challenged anyone to a duel with these pistols?
❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have been wanting to make a similar box for an original British flintlock sea service pistol I bought from a museum. It was a battlefield pick up from the battle of New Orleans during the war of 1812. I still take it out and fire it on Special Occasions. Great shooter, but it's very hard to hit anything, being it has no sights
i don't think it would hurt the seo if you guys calmed down on the exclamation points a bit.
And they work!!
I would love to see you replicate the 3 dueling pistol sets with boxes in the movie The Skulls
Beautiful case
I had never seen Hamilton or heard any of the music until a few weeks ago. My daughters middle school did a trip to see it in Chicago and they let them get tickets for family as well.

Now she knows why her music teacher always sings her name the way she does. I was pleasantly surprised with the whole thing.
Why do I love boxes so much I’ll never understand
need some powder kegs for the compartments
great little build Adam

Another suggestion: riverboat gambler travel box, with gaming equipment and weapons.
Anyone know the name of the mechanical pencil he's using at 31:33 ?
Woah! Loving the hair! I thought it was another Jim Henson episode 😂
I have sincere issues with the fact that Adam didnt stain and lakier the whole inside. Its such a small extra effort and it would seal everything.

Cheers!!

This reminds me soooo much of the New Yankee Workshop
Those Denix pistols are going to cost twice as much after this video XD
21:28 “God bless you”
I'd love to see Adam build a working flintlock rifle from scratch.
Need this for some TOS phasers.
The prop version of the Spanish culture of "this will do just fine". And guess what, they do just fine for what they are meant for. As few as needed moving parts, all cast.

That denix looks like what you used to get at disnyland :) down to the rattle haha
Cool build I love it.
Dang, how many times has these pistols been featured in videos 😂

So very cool
Man I love watching Adam's builds, but whenever he uses his table saw I have to check out.
A case with a glass top to see the pistols would be good.
