Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Custom Multi-Tool Belt Holster
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2014
- One of Adam's everyday carries is his favorite multi-tool, the Leatherman Wave. But the leather sheath that comes with the tool is too slow and cumbersome for Adam's needs, so today he makes a custom metal holster based on his own design. In the process, Adam shares several tips for metalworking and introduces a few favorite tools in the Cave's new metal shop.

In the mood for making? Watch Adam make an EDC (Everyday Carry) bag: th-cam.com/video/AXzurpmc8SE/w-d-xo.html
Adam Savage’s Tested is there a plan or a ready made copy of this holder for the charge available please ?
Did Adam ever said what Happened to his Previous Leatherman Charges?
What do you do when you have to fly? Check it ?
I could watch Adam make random things all day. This could easily be moved to a network.
I thought 'The last episode' was the last episode? in march sometime?
It's like watching a lavalamp. Capturing yet relaxing.
i might be late but... how about.. adam savage + james may...
Wilco Muurling Nah I don't think they'd work well. They're personalities just seem to contrasting.
Oh my God dude!! That will be amazing to watch! They should seriously consider a merger at least right?
I can't be the only one that was completely blown away that he cut through a 2x4 in 21 seconds
i allways carry a surge, and that was no bs. i LOVE that saw
Not really, those saws are set up to be coarse and fast with the deep aggressive teeth, they also are not biased to cut in either direction but cut in both so they effectively cut twice as fast as most saws. Its all just clever engineering to make the small saws effective.
Yeah, I had one when I was out camping and I was like "here, let me cut down this sapling that we can use to support a tarp" and they were laughing saying it would take like an hour to go through it. It wasn't as fast as Adam but it took maybe 3-4 minutes to go through about a 4-5" diameter sapling.
just a few weeks ago, i had to saw one with a generic saw. Took a few minutes, tbh. This was dope indeed. Great commercial xd
I bought a surge and then immediately returned it for a wave. The extra weight and bulk, and not having a dedicated large saw and file killed it for me. The Wave is so close to objectively better, except it doesn't have an awl, which is annoying.
The performance of that saw is very impressive.
I carry a 6inch jigsaw blade with my surge and have cut down full size tree's with it, just remember to treat it like a pull saw and youll be good
17:37 That level of self knowledge is the first step to wisdom
Hi
I love how Adam explains literally everything he possibly can, so that he can educate you as much as possible.
He's such a great teacher.
Watching Adam build is like watching a famous artist paint the Mona Lisa. Amazing art.
The amount of knowledge in Adam's head is amazing.
I learn so much every single time I watch one of these.
14:45 Guy-"Full safety precautions".... - Adam "Yep"... Turns it on and reaches around moving blade!
I like the part where he cuts the piece he is holding in his hand, with the pneumatic saw xD
Yeah, almost like he's a pro and knows what the fuck he's doing, huh? Weird. Maybe that "Full safety precautions" is so your dumb asses don't do the same thing and get all sue happy when you inevitably hurt yourselves like you deserve.
@@JackSilver1410 bet you're a lot of fun at parties...
@@Chefrabbitfoot You mean like, when he´s not showing up at all?
I always cringe when I realise his ring is on when he's machining.
24:26 You terrified me here.
Me too.
better idea than holding it infront of that other saw ealier xD
+ wayn3w Ye, but he's Adam Savage, he can fix anything, including his fingers.
+wayn3w
it might be the coke he wiped from his nose at 22:59
+wayn3w
This part was like watching a horror movie about to unfold
Adam: That is a line.
Beard guy: Wow! That's amazing!
Adam: "here's me transparent plastic ruler."
Beard guy: "Oh my God that's amazing! What a wonderful tool!"
An old machinist secret... Blue dykem? Wow that’s amazing.
Adam: I need to take a shit can we take a Break
Beard guy: wooow that’s so cool I actually never knew this
John Milkweed how do you call him “beard guy”?! He barely even had a beard😂
as a welder, this is why I love watching these videos and what Adam does in his spare time. He takes into account distortion and work hardening, even knowing he would have to go through annealing to make the workpiece easily workable again and that is something I really appreciate.
17:27 Fuck off Norm, it's Will's time to shine.
The pouch was cool, but seeing the saw blade cut through that 2x4 so fast was amazing! That's faster than my full size saw lol
John Clavis Leatherman is indeed the shit. I really need to make myself one of these holders for my Wave.
I agree, that blew me away.
Andrew Cook I have a Wave as well, but when you have the extra tools the nylon sheath is a must. Plus I love the stretchy loops on the sides for holding a pen, flashlight, etc.
Earlier this year I was helping family move and we couldn't get the old couch down the stairs so we had to take it apart. The only problem was the tools had already been packed and shipped away. We only had a hammer so we ended up chopping up the couch with the back prying end of the hammer and it took hours. Seeing the Wave cut that board in 20 seconds caused me to go out and buy one immediately. Next time something like that happens I will be prepared!
iTzNoxy strange story dude, i'm guessing (hoping) the couch wasn't that expensive fot you? :oS
i could watch adam build things all day
You've got to love how Adam just spray painted over his thumb! lol
Finding 100s of aluminum notebook covers in the trash? The Holy Grail! I love learning from these vids, great inspiration!
Watching this makes me miss my grandfather, this is just the kind of thing he would do... and he was a man who could fix anything easily, including hospital medical equipment such as x ray machines and whatnot...
Bending metal is harder than people think. I was an apprentice metal shop fabricator for year, it was awesome. The shop went out of business and I lost one of the best jobs I've ever had.
Your comment has kinda depressed me.
i am a 30 year fabrication metal smith,,,,,Adam has a journey ahead to get , 'the riddle of steel' or metal ,correct. (bend-deduction/metal thickness),,p.s.= humans have done this accurately for thousands of years.
Aspiring blacksmith here. You got to know metal and it's properties to work on it. But yeah, looks easy, but....
holdmybeer You are absolutely right. Bending is CRITICAL in a workshop. Bending usually happens after you have laser cut a bunch of parts etc, and if even a slight mistake were to happen, you could be looking at redoing an entire workpiece that hours of labour have already been invested into.
We recently got a new guy (who knows what he is doing) in to work our bending presses, where before everyone would just do it themselves with no training. Massive difference in completion time, and far less mistakes.
holdmybeer
*raises hand* I have a question.
Wouldn't aluminum be easier to bend though due to it being softer than most metals, therefore easier to work with than, IDK, for example, stainless steel?
adam just made the best advertisement for the leatherman wave ever. "cuts a 2X4 in under thirty seconds!"
You mirrored the measurement from the left side with a protruding blade to the right side with no blade, that's what happened.
+jonnyroy Ha! You got it!
+iab_matthew111 is it worth getting a t-shirt?
+jonnyroy the wave has a blade on each side, I have trouble telling one side from the other when looking for the straight blade I always get the serrated..
Haha, same. My solution to that problem is to act like that's the blade you were going for...
5:53 is the mistake, measuring symmetrically when the folded tool isn't symmetrical
Adam, you never fail to educate and entertain me. I dont think I'll ever get tired of watching you work. Please keep up the One Day Builds.
This is my favorite part of Tested :D Adam's One Day Builds are always so interesting.
I’m legit obsessed with these builds. I wish there was more of them. Adam is amazing in these one day builds!
Use the extra space/loose fit to line with felt, called a glove, to make a soft faced liner. Protects your tools finish. loved watching you work, you obviously, like me, love the process of building your own.
I was thinking the same thing; pad it a little for protecting the tool and keeps is springy (is that a word?). Just dont make is too gentle of a grip, don’t want to loose that thing. I cried when I lost mine.
I have made a lot of cell phone holsters this way. My favorite way to make them is to wrap paper around the device that will eventually go in the holster, mark your bend lines with a pencil unfold the paper and transfer the lines to the sheet metal. I usually use a spray adhesive to apply the paper to the sheet metal then bend on the lines. If you practice with just the paper first you can get the steps in order so your not getting in your own way.
For the belt loop I would have made a set of simple dies. Create the female die by super gluing built-up layers of wood to make a rectangular recess about a 1/4" deep. Build the male half of the die like it was a punch. Cut the die shape on one end, leave enough room for a hand hold in the middle and make room to whack it on the end opposite the male die. After clamping the sheet metal in place over the female die set the male die in the appropriate location and whack it with a hammer punch style to form the loop.
Another way to do this is make a wooden pattern that mimics the size and shape of the device you want to hold then just form the metal around the wood pattern that way you don't need any fancy sheetmetal tools.
If you want something like a sheet metal break but don't want to spend the money look for sheet metal bending pliers, they are affordable and work pretty well. Sheet metal shears work great and if you have a lot of cutting to do a jigsaw sporting a sheet metal blade clamped upside down in a vise works almost as good as a band saw. You will want to clean up that cut with a file.
For more delicate objects try lining what will become the inside of the metal with something soft like cork, rubber sheet or Plasti Dip before bending, it will take some adjusting as you go but it works great to protect more delicate stuff like cell phones.
Try this, its fun!
If Leatherman made this kind of holster id buy a few.
TITAN TECH Thanks for the tip!!
if will be horizontal ...
The link in the other description is for the same item. Here is a review if you'd like to see it in action.
th-cam.com/video/kPqHv2nFUiY/w-d-xo.html
Awesome Thanks...
Lol why
There’s something so satisfying about being able to make something that doesn’t yet exist
Yes! New Adam Savage one day build video!
that tool flip at 23:36, I don't know why it's so badass but it totally is.
Thank you for your show. I especially like the one's where it doesn't work to plan. Rarely do we get it right on the first go. It's nice to see the process, and the learning curve, and not giving up. Always forward.
Bill
As my Dad ALWAYS said, "Work SMART, not HARD"!
HARBOR FREIGHT has GREAT tools to fit your need! And, Lifetime Replacement...
You are such a "Resourceful Person" of my heart & necessary!
Take care Adam,

Need a co-host who has actually used tools.. He is annoyingly inquisitive, has never even seen a dead blow hammer... Are you kidding me?? Id do this job for free and actually help Adam instead of slowing down every step
If we don't ask questions about the tools, then Adam won't think to share the information about them. The site is about learning stuff. If everyone, everywhere already knew everything, we probably wouldn't bother making the videos.
Tested yeah but the host thinks he knows everything and hes usually wrong, it seems adam has to agree to keep the atmosphere light. imo
Asking questions is one of the important *jobs* of the co-host. All the way back in the early days of "this old house", that was what the host did - ask questions, get people to explain things, draw them out...
As well, those of us who know how to DIY stuff need to realize that there is a growing segment of society who is not at all experienced in building/fixing/using-tools/etc. For whatever reason...
The thing is that most people aren't experts on building things, like myself, I've never seen dead blow hammer before last time I build anything that wasn't software or small electronics was 10 years ago, but I love these videos and you'll always pick up something new a idea or a name for a tool you didn't even knew existed.
But I get where you are coming from, as CompSci engineer when people ask simple tech/computers related questions I also get little frustraited, but you just got to remember that people have different skill sets and know different things.
Tested
Yup, if Will hadn't asked I wouldn't have known.
Sheesh. What was it Felicia Day just said - TH-cam, home of, "If you can't say something nice, then say it anyway."
The fucking video isn't meant for people who already know how to do everything its for newbies and professionals alike to learn something. Will does a good job and help clarifies shit for the viewers.
I think that everyone knew that watching this video. There is no need to clarify that.
+KFC´s Gravy read Gary's comment above and you'll think differently
+xCoolUsername Yes, but Adam Savage is life.
+xCoolUsername nah still kind of annoying
About to comment the same thing!!!
"Is that a tool-less chuck?"
Adam: Yes. [MANIACAL LAUGHTER]
I love how real the episode was and how it goes to show that sometimes you mess up, but it's not really a mess up because you are well on your way to making corrections and getting it right!
put some leather padding in there. It'll shrink the fit as well is increase friction.
thats what i was thinking, just lining the inside would fix a quarter inch.
xXHomerSimpsonXx Yeah, I was thinking just glue some nylon webbing in there, cushion it a bit. I guess 'Leather' goes with the 'Leatherman' vibe better though :-)
You post on Tested? Oh dear gods... makes me wonder what a Mythbuster Simulator would sound like
But this is adam we are talking about!
Wo!262 Doesn't mean that you can't have fun with this
I loved this episode! MOAR!
I've watched this video three or four times, and every time I just smile when Adam and Wil realize that its too big. I love that you didn't throw out the video. The recap with fixed version is perfect
Necessity is the mother of invention. I can appreciate the simplicity and function of this holster. Nice Vid.
Has Adam worked as a teacher before? It's seems like he would be an amazing teacher.
Adam has never went to college, I think.
Robert Phan He went to New York University and Tisch School of Arts.
phobos thegreat He pretended to go to NYU for about a month, i think but i may be wrong.
I saw in the video where he made the Barbarella rifle he said he worked as a teacher at the Art Academy.
He's taught before. In the podcast he's talked about how he used to emphasize certain things in class to his students or how he'd let them learn. To be precise, an excerpt from the Sarah Lawrence Commencement speech page states that he used to teach in the industrial design department at San Francisco's Academy of Art University.

I once had one of those tiny dremel wheels shatter and shoot straight into my goggles, never forgotten to put them on since.
Crazy Hans I have two fragments stuck in the metal tube I was cutting somewhere in my workshop that, I've still not found. Dremel wrenched the tube clean out of the vice,and launched them over my shoulder.
***** Almost same happened to me. I was sawing a piece of wood for someone when a piece of Dremel wheel flew straight from the workshop next door and embedded itself in the piece I was cutting, stopping it from entering my lower back.
And from there on, no one in the shop forgot to close the door joining the metal shop to the workshop or the wood shop to the workshop.
happened to me too.
They tend to hit me in the nose. Luckily they're low enough mass that they don't even cut the skin, but they're still pretty hot. One of the advantages of full face shields over goggles.
***** Not sure who the "we" is meant to be in that sentence, since this seems to be your first comment in the thread (at least TH-cam isn't showing me any more), but the discs are exactly what I was talking about.
15:35 *reference* calipers on the steel work table! clipboard warriors everywhere are salivating! the clipboard aluminum as sheet stock is brilliant! This reminds me of Adam's favourite slogan: "too small to keep, too useful to throw away" :)
I could watch Adam all day long and would love to spend some time with him. Would learn so much, he is a master at so many cool things.
Adam i cant imagine my life without watching you make things
Who else likes watching these one-day builds more than watching Mythbusters?
Kant Twists are INCREDIBLY useful.
Nothing better on TH-cam than watching Adam make stuff.
I could watch his videos all day. And I do.
Sorry about this but HOLLY SHIT THE SAW 21SECONDS through a 2×4
Jason Aaron Yeah that made the whole video. Adam must be secretly advertising Leatherman Wave multitools!
DaGleese Shoot, I wanna buy one now if you tell me that knife locks in place.
MrNightpwner I actually am thinking of buying one now, but read some amazon reviews and many people are complaining that their quality isn't as good as it used to be, I wonder when Adam got his, because his looks awesome.
DaGleese
I like his watch too.
Jason Aaron I love using the saw tool on my Leatherman! that thing is a beast
this was awesome to watch! Please make more One Day Builds videos!
great calipers! I've had an 8 inch set for the last 13 yrs as an aerospace machinist. still going strong.
I came for the tool belt was amazed and the bonus a tiny saw that cuts a 2x4 in 21 seconds What!!!! Awesome.
Adam is a great builder!!
adam: bandsaw
will: full safety precautions
adam: * switches band saw on and reaches through the bandsaw to switch on a lamp *
And not wearing safety goggles
I like this other dude (Will). He commentates when appropriate, doesn’t interfere with the video too much, isn’t annoying, and he actually has some knowledge as to what Adams saying
As a Car stereo installer for 33 years I find myself making things alot. I make holders like this for holding testers etc... to my tool box. Thanks Adam I always learn something new watching you.
2:21 Somehow I can picture Adam dumpster diving and acting like Doc Brown from Back to the Future, anything can be made into something else.
The other guy is a good 'foil' for Jamie, asking questions so Jamie explains. And he raises good points too
Gort Newton Its Adam, not Jamie...
jamies the one with the beret
People tend to confuse both, I myself can't write James last name.
JonatasMonte how hard is it to write hynemen or savage
This is my favorite video on the Internet. It is so cool to watch Adam work and think as he works
Adam is such a badass. A true professional craftsman.
The layout spray is called Dykem Bluing in Spray or Brush on Form I have that stuff on my hands all day sometimes
You can literally use just a blue edding for that
Someone, somewhere may have just went, "HEY! *I* put those metal binders in the garbage!"
They can take comfort knowing they've been recycled.
***** RePurposed.
visionoise re-engineered.
I can’t believe it’s been 9 years! Great video
I've been watching these videos faithfully and I have to say this is definitely a highlight! Great to see you be human and comical. 2X4 part had me so amazed!
That 2x4.. My jigsaw doesn't even cut one that fast.
Thats what i was thinking.
Vern Meyer Yeah that was nuts!
I love watching these one day builds. I always learn something.

I’ve watched this in the past and had bad feelings toward it when it showed up in my suggestions again. I couldn’t remember why, then Will started talking, and immediately I remembered.
I stumbled across this video while searching for folding knife making leather sheaths. I'm glad. I was drawn in by your passion & energy to create and your love of tools. I have always wanted a leatherman tool. I have a Dewalt but it's not a Leatherman. Now, I "need" one ;) Thank you for sharing. Angel from The Bay Area, Caliboy
I want a shop where I can just build stuff with an endless supply of tools :)
these should be on netflix damnit!
Why? Adam's here. you are here. It's for free. Why?
Finally, some one who actually carries a multi tool everywhere like me. I bought my first leather man when I was 10 for about $89 with my own earned money from cutting grass. Now Im 16 and I still have that same multi tool. I bring it everywhere except for school. You never know when you could need it. Oh, and instead of using a belt and pouch, I wear cargo pants. My favorite cargo pants are the True spec 24-7. They come in shorts or pants. Great for concealed cary with a fire arm or multi tool.
That bandsaw and brake are the coolest things I have ever seen.
It's like watching 2 guys in a class. 1 thinks he knows everything about a problem, and the other one is actually knows everything about the problem and how to solve it.
1 word: Kydex
I dig the aluminum, but it would be my second choice for this type of build.
That's what my current case is made of.
Nathan D It's great stuff for this type of thing isn't it? I've used it for all kinds of brackets, belt clips, etc. I'm surprised that Adam went with aluminum. A thermoform plastic like Kydex (whatever the non-branded name is) would have made this a 30 minute build.
I just assumed it was kydex until the video started and he said aluminum.
I was surprised he didn't use Kydex too, but he did say at the start he had hundreds of aluminium plates, so maybe he was just using what was cheap / lying around?
Kydex: For everyone who dosent have a metal shop
This...is a few years old, and i used to watch it on my mom's old computer multiple times ....But This.. is Still Damn Satisfying to my OCD
Every tool's a Hammer got me back to this video.
17:37 is when Will reads the comments section and realises he is less use than a bench clamp
For some reason I expected Adam to measure in metric, I was surprised to see inches on the callipers.
Most machinists in the US work in thousandths of an inch. That's the scale Adam has said he thinks in when he's working on small projects.
+Tested like most American DIYers of a certain age
+Tested I'm a CNC Brake Press Operator. The machine I use bends 10 gauge and 3/8s pieces for large cabinet transformers. I kinda got a smile when I saw Adam's small Brakes. :D
I can watch Adam build literally anything. These videos are so relaxing and entertaining.
I like how he failed during the first attempt but instead of reshooting the episode, he is man enough to admit that he failed and still air the episode. Kudos to you 😊️😊️
+Lemuel Hui He did that on Mythbusters a lot, so it's nothing new for him to show failed attempts and mistakes.
Yeah... someone really needs to drop this design into CAD and get it mass produced
You can even buy one on amazon
1:27, firefly poster on the door.
Great spot :D
Pedantic point, work hardening metal makes it stronger but actually decreases the toughness. Strength and toughness are two different measures. Great video!
this was the first tested video i saw and it's still fun to go back and watch from time to time.
Adam's shop just throws me into a rage of jealousy 😣
Lmao forreal... they guy can make anything you need out of that shop... anything...
anyone else notice the robocop hands? I want to see those in the next vid PLEASE?
Hey, so grateful for you guys! Your content is wonderful. You make the internet better.
i see these sheaths all over the place now, cant help but feel it was taken from Adam.
OK. So Leatherman, if you are out there: create the "Savage" holster. You could probably sell it for $30-$60 a pop.
Someone tell adam about Kydex.
+kaizoebara exactly what I thought
*****
pffffffftttttt
+kaizoebara Kydex holds things where they snap in and out. Because the leatherman is all metal you can use a metal funnel like this and it is one finger out and in. I don't think he would prefer kydex. Kydex is also very nasty for you when heated for forming.
+Hondo Trailside Yeah, I think the whole point here for Adam was so that it could work seamlessly with a single finger. No way you're going to get that with kydex which would require you to grab the leatherman and pull it out of it.
I think exactly the same
I could watch Adam tinker around his shop and build misc. stuff all day. He needs another network show asap!
I love these videos.
I'm BLOWN away how fast that saw cut the 2x4
I cant even cut a 2x4 in 20sec with a saw-saw o.O
zerosonico I'm guessing you mean a Sawzall.
sgtpepper1138 No-no, it's a saw-saw. :-)
Patrick Poe Ohh, I see what he's getting at, now that I'm re-reading it.
zerosonico that thing must be made of titanium or something ..waw
+zerosonico i coudlnt even do it with a see-saw
Im not a maker or machinist or anything.. But the guy being fascinated by a deadblow hammer killed me. C'mon man..
Adam there is no doubt you are the ultimate coolest guy in the world.
Hey Adam, I rebuilt your holster with some changes like a Fabric covering and a pouch for the additional screwdriver bits, and I love it. Thank you very much for showing this great concept to me.
So, funny story. I bought a Leatherman Skeletool for a friend-of-a-friend who had his knife stolen. On my way home, while waiting to get some lunch at Schlotzkey's, I was looking at the tool. I saw that it had a nice belt clip built into the tool and immediately decided it was a me-gift. Sorry, Joe. You don't know this, but you lost out on a Leatherman.
joe mama
Leatherman makes a stainless pocket clip for $7.
I take it Adam has not discovered Kydex yet?
Jeremy Gould If you've listened to Adam much you'll know his time is insanely valuable and that tiny cost wouldnt matter. Its possible Adam's one is ever better though and video production is also a good reason to do it himself.
He didn't want a pocket clip, he wanted a quick-release metal belt holster.
Jeremy Gould
Plus Adam has the satisfaction of crafting it exactly how he wanted it.
Jeremy Gould Sure, you can spend $7 and buy a ready made one but where is the fun in that! OR you can learn from the master spend $0 and gain KNOWLEDGE!
Shut up! We are the glorious Sheet metal masterace!
As an owner of several Letherman Waves I appreciate this video more than I can express.
I'm seriously impressed by that saw
