Watch Adam's King Arthur Armor Build here: th-cam.com/video/vib1-V8ArzM/w-d-xo.html
Adam Savage the name that you're looking for for the handle part is called the Tang this is a small piece of metal left over so I can Implement of a handle and guard can be placed on and leather strapped what should make it look really nice your friend JCB third son of Elvis Presley
While this is very late, you could have made this build slightly easier by peening the pommel on (the historical method of attaching a pommel) instead of threading it.
Adam Savage’s Tested can I buy it from you
@@Bash70777 What?! Why? It's made of aluminium! You couldn't fend off more than three Vikings with it! By the fourth Viking you'd be "oh, shite, aluminium's not much good for swords!" Look mate, you got Vikings? You need steel! Unless you gotta gun. But that's another story...
MrPossumeyes I want the legendary sword Excalibur by King Arthur
Adam: "Its not done for blood, it's done for lightening"
Brain: "Sword shoots lightning"
i thought for stage lighting at first
Fun fact, in some of the real-world myths Excalibur would flash with fire and lightning whenever the wielder was fighting monsters
@Carlos Spiceywhiener yes, we understand what it means, that's why there are people commenting on it.
Now with lightning. REAL LIGHTNING
@Carlos Spiceywhiener Yes but he was explain that it’s a joke.....
Adam's videos are so mesmerizing because he doesn't fill all his footage with music. It's just the ambience of the environment and it's beautiful 👏 👏👏!
That was the first things I noticed, and didn't realize how badly I needed ambience over filler music.
There's definitely music, it's just used as ambience. It doesn't overpower the viewer. edit: nm, not during the actual creation, i see what you're talking about.
When there is music its not fucking ear wrecking
gypaetus I have to say that my favorite....You 🧪’rs have that 💆🏽♂️ ‘touch’......well put “gypaetus” sorry so late
SAVAGE, TESTED CREW Thanks 🙏 for your hard working teamwork ...you tube well let’s face it at times can have people “TROLLS” .No matter how great the content will hate LET’em, all of the inspiration your team creates WORLDWIDE PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORY.please be yourself I’m not looking for or asking for your attention just wanted to say keep it 💯ALWAYS 🔥🔥🔥🛠. ✌🏽❤️. B
Aluminum dust can be some nasty stuff. I grind, smelt, cast, and cut aluminum. Always a good idea to wear a respirator
The things he does for good TV.
Furry
I was cringing the whole time. I'm quite surprised such a pragmatic person would not wear any kind of mask
Or hearing protection!
Or safety glasses when using cyanoacrylate!
"It's not a blood groove, it never was."
You sound like me and all of my sword enthusiast friends.
Yet people will still argue that it was a blood groove😂
@@southaussielad2496 People will argue that the Earth is flat too, doesn't make them any less stupid. It just makes them stupid with conviction.
I’ve had history teachers argue that, as well as the whole “All battlefield swords were blunt” bullshit. It’s frustrating too because my military history teacher was really cool
@@southaussielad2496I know but it's fun to freak out the normies🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Adam:Ok , so we need some plutonium.
Five seconds later: ok here I’ve got a couple of kilos
"I love polishing brass" ~ Adam Savage
I'm assuming thats a known inuendo, but damn I have never heard that one before.
oh man, shame. You missed a good one :^)
He did spend alot of time polishing his sword and enjoing it immensly...perfect example: 33:07
I admire the man for making something he could easily purchase . The sense of pride from making something with your hands can not be replaced by buying it .Seems like such a down to earth guy with nothing to prove ,except that he can make anything .Love it !
Grinder says: "ONLY use with 3 inch wheel"
Adam says: "I'm going to use this 2 inch wheel!" in an optimistic manner.
I guess another myth was busted right before our eyes...
PommacX maybe it means only use the flat surface with 3in wheel. He could have switched off camera when he went from the wheel to the flat.
Or maybe no more then three inch wheel?
The "ONLY 3 inch wheel" part is the flat backing for the belt; when the back plate is removed, you can use other wheel sizes.
or, potentially, the "3 inch" part is the width of the wheels. not their diameter. since having a wheel that is wider, or thinner than the belt would be bad. the diameter of wheels can be what ever he wants them to be. but the width has to always match the drive wheel. which is likely also supporting the guide plates that make sure the belt doesn't go slipping off the wheels. the wheel that's also doing the grinding would also loose effectiveness if it were wider than the belt itself.
@Matthew M try telling my wife that.
5:55 after i pause the video and spend like 5 minutes trying to find out what the hell that marker is, he just stops what he's doing and tells me. What a fantastic use of psychic powers.
The shop he is working in is unreal
Its his man cave after all, and for a messy looking workshop everything is well organized.
I was looking for a comment telling me what it was. Read yours, then IMMEDIATELY he explains it!
LMAO!!
Yessss I did that toooo
When you find out the crusade for the holy land is tomorrow.
Just watched this with my 3 year old boy who is obsessed with swords. He is now begging me to take him to your workshop so you can help him make his owns 🤗
Great video!
Adam has a video about how to make a mostly child proof sword out of wood and aluminium tape... "How to make a $5 Sword"... Should also work with cardboard and foil/tape so that there is no risk of the kid (un)intentionally whacking another child too hard with it and causing injuries that way...
@@Ugly_German_Truths well isn't causing injury the point of a sword?
@@Ugly_German_Truthsthat risk os still there, it's just somewhat less dangerous. For a kid that age, foam is probably the way to go.
i love how hes always so happy and that he loves his work ! top bloke :D
PAULY PINEAPPLE you an Aussie?
with 400 tonnes of aluminium dust inside his lungs
Techno Gaming aluminum is heavy so it doesn’t float in the air it hits the ground
It bothers me that he is so animated. I guess I am a Jamie Hyneman-introvert kinda guy. Introverts should get more attention.
What amazes me is that he has the patience to do this kind of work given his hyperkinetic personality. I think he is truly a rare cat.
The one day builds are the most satisfying videos on TH-cam
Gaming Porkchop Kingdom they truly genuinely are.
Turns out that the "respirator" thing is trending so, here's my advice to you Adam: Build your own respirator...and WEAR IT!
Thats very relatable due to the current state of the country
That aged well
Man, always fun to watch Adam's excitment over things he do. How he puts pride in it. That is simply awesome!
You should definitely collaborate with the guys from Baltimore Knife and Sword (the Man at Arms: Reforged guys) on something. I'd love to see what you and Ilya could come up with together.
Also, the grind Adam is talking about is known as a "convex grind" or "axe grind" if anyone was wondering
Sharky Sharkerson I came down to the comments to make this same request.
I was thinking the same, Just imagine what crazy ideas they could make come to life!
he did mention them so i bet he as plans to do somekind of collaboration
I feel like Adam and Ilya would really like each other. They both have a huge passion for their craft and I think that among many other things would allow them to work well with each other.
Collaboration with Michael Cthulhu would be better.. :P
So love Adam Savage! Coolest guy ever :D Great and awesome work!
Hey i saw your mando painting
@Darth krayt ah yes a fellow star wars fan
your whimsical curiosity and excitement is extremely contagious! THANK YOU
Mr. Savage your videos and your zeal make me smile. I have enjoyed your work for many years and your TH-cam channel does not disappoint.
5 days later adam was found dead in his work shop with 1 ton of aluminium dust in his lungs
More like 410 billion tons...hes been doing this for years
well, aluminum is much heavier than air. so the partical hits the ground right away, it doesnt stay in the air. so he doesnt inhail it
Water is also heavier than air, and billions of tons of it visibly float over your head as clouds all the time; so... you're wrong. If the particles are small enough (yep, they sure as hell can be), then they can be inhaled. By the way, did you notice all of the accumulated aluminum dust on this shoulders? Yep, he was breathing that stuff alright.
We all die from something. An undeniable fact of life. Might as well be from doing something we love.
@@Jump2218 Idea is to wear a mask and be able to continue doing the thing you love for longer.
Just the absolute quality in not only the sword, but the video itself, is truly amazing. Tested has stepped up their production game and we appreciate it!
I am so glad you got to make Excaliber! The sheer joy on your face was glorious!
A favourite movie and a great job making the sword from that movie, thanks Adam. Amazing to watch you build these items, excellent work. The end product really looks the part.
One of the BEST one day builds to date
The pommel comes off a great design choice NOW HE CAN END HIS ENEMIES RIGHTLY
EYYYYYY Skallagrim Squad!!!
GG Gaming I was gonna do it but you beat me to it
☺🙂😐😑😒wha...
How might one best his opponent with an aluminum sword??.....
Mank_Legend the material doesnt matter when you have a good technic and you can do the Best technic with this sword
When the grind started, I thought “man this is going to take for ever!”, and I feel it did!
The result is great, looks very nice! Kudos for the patience!
It's so nice to see the skills you learnt from Peter put into practice! This channel is amazing. I loved watching Mythbusters growing up- And as much as I loved exploring the science with you all, I was always more interested in the building aspect of things. This is everything I could've hoped for as a kid. Thank you so much for all of the hard work that goes into making these videos!
So now Adam, you need to build a rock holster for your sword that you can draw the sword from to feel like king author
Exactly what I was thinking! XD
King Author? Did you mean Stephen?
You can tell from Adam's vocal inflections in that intro that he has been spending time with "Michael from Vsauce"
Watching your absolute enthusiasm for this build has left me giddy. 😁 Thanks, I needed that.
This was a great build, and one of the few where I felt smart while guessing correctly how you were going to multiple steps! Fantastic!
This is why I love Adam no matter what he does!!!
I love how Adam is geeking out while making this. It's both hilarious and awesome. Nice job on making it!
I love the focus in Adam's eyes. It's been a long time since I was a model maker, almost 20 years ago in college. I remember that look of focus where the minutes turn into hours and you don't remember what time it is or who you are. You are the piece that you're working on. The piece is everything. Rapid prototyping and model making is an incredibly intense and rewarding process. I've always loved his work.
However, leave off the gloves. If that glove catches, that's how you lose a hand. If you need a glove to keep from being hurt, stick with hand tools. If you catch a finger on the belt, it hurts but it will heal. If the glove catches, it will pull the whole hand through.
I know that Adam is experienced and knows how to be careful, but people watching might not be. I do use gloves when grinding, but I accept the risk and am very careful. I've been snagged by a belt before and almost lost a finger on a lathe due to keeping my wedding band on. Never again. Bare hands, rolled sleeves, shirt tucked in, respirator on, eyes on, careful. Again, skin will heal, a whole hand does not come back.
Adam that was absolutely exquisite, when i saw how you were going to do the lattice/grid pattern on the brass Pommel i was sure it wasn't going to work, but then when i saw you polishing it, i was a happy as you were and when the 2 halves of the brass Pommel perfectly dropped into place that was just satisfaction overload, the end result is a thing of beauty............... kudos to you Sir

"Grind, grind, grind, grind, lots of grinding" - me in the morning trying to make my coffee
Love some of the shots in this one!
Love watching Adam and he has such enthusiasm for his projects
I love seeing how excited he gets doing these projects. He's like a little kid. Just makes me feel good.
FYI: the convex grind is just called a convex grind in most blade making circles.
Also called an Appleseed edge, I'm pretty sure. Such an edge is used on most axes
I'm not sure it was even convex. I think it's a simple diamond shape with basically straight sides...
For a moment there I thought Adam was sick, but then he took off his eye protection, and I knew he was allright.
Undizz then he puts it back on
My father used to make knives when I was a kid. This video really took me back to when he was still here. Thank you Adam.
I love how excited you get about this stuff.
I wish I had a workshop like that ! amazing
I've been waiting for the day another One Day Build came out
Can I just say how amazing it is to watch this man work?
Love this video! The DOP (Joey?) did such an amazing job! You can really admire Adam's mastery with the close up hand shots!
I WOULD LOVE a video where Adam shows off his watch collection + the different scenarios/uses he has for them! Anyone else notice his different watches in each videos?
I still remember the first time i saw it! So simple at first glance, yet so refined and elegant! It was the sword that initiated my transition from jagged fantasy monstrosities, to serviceable and believable designs. A journey finally completed with The Lord of the Rings!
A sword is supposed to look like a saw, right?
LOL! I guess a multi tool sword would?
Recommend taking a look at the eye candy that is Albion swords, if you haven't already
Logan Hammonds that's rare but one example would be a sawtooth cutless
Adam you do what all of us wish we could do and with such enthusiasm love watching you make such great stuff keep it up so we can all live vicariously through you
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I loved Excalibur as well. Been into Arturian legend since I was a little girl. I didn't want to be damsel in distress, I wanted to joust and slay the dragon! MY boyfriend was amused when we went to see 'Excalibur', I was so excited and spouting all the history ( allegedly). I wish I could make one, Too! You are so good at what you do, entertaining as you educate. Thanks Adam!
Would love to see Alec Steele and Adam Savage do a one day build. How can we make this happen?
give them super powers, you can't forge a decent sword in a day
I like that idea too ;)
well alec steele can because he is "fantastic "
Eeeee c'mon, Tested! Also, can I come build? :)
day*
I think we all enjoy watching Adam work because he seems to genuinely enjoy all the stuff he is doing...it would be really hard to fake his enthusiasm ... plus ... like this build ... he built his own fu#$ing grinder just-for-swords! Who else does that? I mean there are swordsmiths who would have apparently made their own, or makers building stuff, hobbyists of all kinds ... but he builds his own shit for so many things...not just swords. WOW He's a very interesting person to watch. I wonder what he's really like...you know...like around the breakfast table or something?
The Interfaith Shepherd You say, “Around the breakfast table” like people still sit down and have breakfast together. I honestly hate the new generations.
hi bro Lots of people still eat breakfast together around the world, its probably just America or something.
I wonder the same thing. I imagine he enthusiasticly talkes about the details in the silverware and after breakfast he hurries to make his own silverware. I could watch adam talk about and build anything.
Around the breakfast table :D! what has happened the night before for him to be sharing his breakfast with you?
@@hibro2596 Don't worry, we honestly utterly despise you kinds of people too.
So beautiful, loved that movie also, also loved how they reflected green light off it in certain scenes
Adam you inspire me to keep learning.. I wish I could meet you in person to tell you how much you mean to so many of us. thank you fro all that you teach us.
Excalibur was actually the first King Arthur movie I ever watched as a kid. I loved it so much that i made my first sword replica. After a few years I got the equipment to make real swords, and Excalibur was the first one I made
Still the best King Arthur movie.
@@countofdownable No arguments here
He's so freaking happy and that makes me so happy
Love your enthusiasm and skills.....wish I had space for and equiipment for doing this
CONGRATULATIONS ADAM! That was awesome!!
Says "lets go find a dragon"... *builds dragon*
Uh Adam... that's aluminum dust you're grinding off! Never grind without a respirator. ESPECIALLY with aluminum.
Pixelated Hooning I was thinking the same thing; its really important that people like him, that are very respected and looked up to in the maker community educate the public on the most basic safety precautions
He should collect the dust and use it in rocket propellant.
Yes, this, please this
Most of his ppe look like it's for looks. The "goggles" he uses don't look Z87+ rated, the face shield is pretty useless if it allows the aluminum dust to get in this eyes all the way around. I was also kind of crining at his hair dangling ringht onto of the grinder/sander.
Adam is just about as unsafe a person can get without being completely a danger to himself or others. There's a difference between confidence in tools/experience, and being irresponsible.
As a history enthusiast, it is so refreshing to hear a movie guy say "fuller" instead of :blood groove"! Too many people don't realise it was simply to lighten the blade... Thank you for dispelling this misconception :)
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm reminded of a movie quote involving a "watery tart".
Great build like always Adam. I wish I had an Excalibur Sword :)
USE ONLY 3" WHEEL! ....Im going to use a 2" wheel
i noticed that as well, but if you look its the flat backer he has under the top slack of the belt that has it written on it, and when hes using the 2" wheel that flat is gone. so im pretty sure its specific to that piece of equipment.
L0rdph0b0s yeah I figured there was something I was missing, just thought it was funny
Using such a narrow wheel with such a wide fuller his sword is basically paper thin in the middle. Hope it doesn't get dropped too hard. Especially because it is aluminum and not something more rigid.
that's only if using the guide
I think its only applies to that table-thingy that is put under the belt.
anyone else appreciate the silence of these videos??? i love it it shows focus, and catches my attantion
I love polishing metal, it's so just relaxing and cathartic
Adam literally giving the sword a 'spit and polish'. :)
Adam has a strange little tool for everything. I love it.
Excalibur is my most favourite film the part of the film where they ride out from the castle through the fruit orchard that turns to full bloom and the transformation from the the drab and worn out Arthur and his knights to the bright and re born.this has always stayed with me in my memories cheers Adam for another great one day build.
I love that you love what you love Adam Savage..
Thankyou sooo much for putting this out there sir.
I am bloody going to make a samurai sword one day. It might not be a real one, but it's going to look like a sword fit for a king!
Long live Sir Adam! 😜👍
More one day builds!!!
I can't imagine how much work this must've been in the middle ages.
well. this is a prop. a real sword is cast. so a completely different process that isn't THAT different from how it's done today as far as I know.
@@damiantears6225 real swords are never cast. Check out some man at arms videos.. real swords are forged.
Perhaps with more mass production, it would’ve been a little easier, but still a ton of work.
@@theblackknight101 - There's the right answer. There's also Forged In Fire from the History Channel.
@@damiantears6225 lmao
AMAZING! . And also, encouraging as, always
Absolutely fantastic! Beautiful!
Free handing the checker patterns was very impressive actually. Great work, Adam.
Holy crap it made me so nervous when he was polishing the wire wrap that he had only affixed with glue!! 😰 I also kinda thought maybe he should be wearing a mask when all those metal shavings were flying. I totally agree with how awesome it is to polish brass. There is just something about brass that makes it shine brighter and hold a polish better than other metals! I also liked using brass with silver in jewelry projects when I was in college for metals and jewelry as they look nice together.
Twistfaria it's non ferrous and doesn't oxidise as easily as ferrous metals. That's why it holds it's shine for longer. Still if you really want it to retain its shine give it a clear coat after you polish. Bada bing bada boom, everlasting shine.
SO AWESOME!! Excellent work!
Beautifully done
Adams videos enhance my vocabulary immensely
"You have broken, what cannot BE broken," -Merlin
Having watched most of Adam Savage's videos I believe he may have some ancestral linkage to Leonardo Da Vinci's DNA. What an amazingly analytical mind on full display, and the genius skill set to create his remarkable masterpieces. And Kudos to the amazingly talented video/camera man who captured all of the critically important details in this sword build.
It's hard not to like these videos immediately. Between the pro camera work and Adam's passion for the art, I immediately find myself vexed like I would to a TV, but my brain doesnt shut off. I'm constantly wondering, how can I make this better or more personal. I might be addicted to this channel.
@4:30 Follow your heart Sir Savage.
OMG you trimmed so much O.O
I love how he throws the pommel wherever at 24:22 totally exhausted.
Finally a video on tested worth watching. Adam should do one day builds all the time.
i just keep going back here....i think this is my fav video of u Adam, must have watch this 100x already i lost count
Beautiful work
When you realize he is so entertaining music is not needed.
6:40 ?
@@zyourzgrandzmaz music is always needed for anything savage is going to do better than you can even attempt
Was anyone else (who didn't already know what it was) ask yourself, "What the heck is he using to mark up the aluminum?
How could you not enjoy working with this guy?!
My favorite part of being a Military mechanic(retired now) was the fabrication. A pile of steel, cut off wheels, multi wheel grinder, (prefer) mig welder and you can make anything to stand the test of time. It's great seeing your enthusiasm. It makes me miss it.
When you've been twisting wire for years the same way Adam ended up doing it here, you feel like a pro lol
now i want adam to hit up man at arms and do a build with them
or the reforged crew
I think I'd prefer alec steel. even some of the editing in this video is similar to what Alec does
EnlightenedSavage Alec defiantly produces a higher quality video
Honestly i really enjoyed this video. I love all the aspects of the sword!
Wow, what craftsmanship! And cool!
Threaded pommel. Can end opponents rightly. 10/10.
I knew there had to be a pommel joke here somewhere, you just can't have a video with swords in them without somebody mentioning the pommels.
THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR A POMMEL JOKE.
Stefan Massyn I'm not a smart human being when it comes to swords but by look can you tell if it is a balanced sword?
I'm no expert, but it has the shape, taper and size of a steel sword, but is made out of aluminium. Aluminium is lighter than steel so the balance may be too far back to the handle, and light, hence limiting chopping power. Good for handling, though.
aka: perfect for something you're not actually planning on using as a weapon.
Hilt! The word you're looking for is hilt! That sword is amazing! Id like to see the master sword from legend of zelda!
Actually, the part he was working on then was the tang.
ADAM IS THE MAN! I WISH I HAD HALF HIS TALENT AND SKILL. HE IS JUST AWE INSPIRING TO WATCH.
Happy new year guys!
