Adam has inspired me in a strange way; his descriptions of parts and how machines fit together and work almost never have him saying "thing" or "this here, that there". Every part gets named and every motion is described with words and not just pointing or "this pushes that". I'm a physics teacher and the have literally changed the way I describe principles, or phenomena, because Adam never uses ambiguous language. Impressive
My grandpa was a master pattern maker in the navy, back when you would carve intricate parts perfectly out of wood as a positive mold and end up with a positive part in cast metal. Everything was a “which-caught” - well, a” wich-caut” “What do you call it got compressed down into wichcaut, and every noun slowly became a wichcaut. ☺
Adam, thankyou. I have a 7 year old Grandson who loved watching your Raptor and Totoro builds ( as an example) He's designed an awesome mob costume , and on the drawing ( in 7 year old spider crawl) hes detailed what material to use ( wood, metal , furry stuff 😂 ) and he went home with a sheaf off paper happy. Let's hope his engineering brain turns into reality. For that , inspiring a 7 year old, I'm eternally greatful. My late father would have loved this channel . I miss his chats about x project or y doohickey . Thankyou for being a teacher.
Bought my first and only sewing machine barely seven months ago and I'm already at the Savage™ Level! By which I mean all the stuff I've designed and fabricated works fine! Most of it will even look great in camera (or from afar), and _some pieces_ look great in person too (...as long as you don't inspect the insides)! I've been making some "fabric covers" for mid-sized stuff (i.e. an A4 laser printer and some-such) lately and... thinking inside-out and up-side-down and chirallllly χείρ! *these hands are not the same!* is... still not easy! You know it but you don't _grok_ it. I'd love more stories involving sewing machines but getting at the "how the hell that's even made!?" angle. It's all easy-easy once you've done it a thousand times. Meanwhile any and all insights are much appreciated. Thanks!
So glad as kids aged about 9 or 10, our school had boys as well as girls in the sewing lesson parts of art and design. I recall clearly we had a 'thread the sewing machine the fastest' competition in class. Great fun - and just broke down ANY idea sewing was for girls only for the whole class. Its such a useful skill - and really interesting trying to wrangle fabrics for construction vs. more static materials (timber metal etc) Nice build.
When I was a child I took apart my mother's Singer sewing machine. I also put it back together. We had a small handful of screws, etc left over but it worked swimmingly for many years after that.
The stack of tape on Adam’s clapper board is a source of repeated and growing frustration for my partner. Which I find funnier every single time. Always a small joy at the start of a video
My Fiancee's family once took us on a holiday in the Scilly Isles (they're off the south-west coast of the UK), and while there I discovered a lovely little company called Ratbags, who make all sorts of bags and things out of recycled sailcloth. It's a *fantastic* material for bags, and I've got quite a few of them for storing supplies when traveling. It's so nice having hard-wearing, well made stuff.
Quilter/sewist/bag maker/quilt pattern designer here (and engineer by day): you're making me both so nervous and also impressed by just drawing those pieces and cutting with scissors with no nice 3-d drawing first. Also, I highly recommend a rotary cutter, self healing mat, and one of those 6" * 24" quilting rulers. So much more precise than chalk and tailors shears for small pieces like bags.
I think you’ve convinced me to also make my own case! I have a really nice case for my Vision Pro, it’s super sturdy and protective, but it’s SO bulky. Something like this can protect it, while also letting me slip it into my backpack. I also have a Sailrite that I’ll make it on and feel like I’m Adam Savage lol (although mine is the Fabricator).
I bought the sailrite LS a couple years ago when they were having a good sale on those but not the LSZ with the zigzag capabilities. I love the machine and it works with zero effort on things that my other sewing machines would never handle. But for the occasions where I really do want a zigzag stitch, I'm really annoyed at myself for not springing for the LSZ.
This video has perfect timing. I love to watch so in content when I'm so. And this one's especially on topic, because I was making what I like to call a hagbag or Haggard bag. I just needed a small little bag on the budget of used scraps. Well it's made out of a cut-off run bit of a pair of jeans and two broken zippers. As well as one piece of Velcro. Is it lovely no is it functional yes. No one's going to see it it's only there to hold something temporarily. And I may or may not have inserted the internal pocket upside down, but I can just hold it the other way and it's fine.
I don't know if Adam savage reads these comments on here. But got to say I love mythbusters the original series and gutted it ended. I know there's a new remake of the show but it's not the same. Just wanted to say a big thankyou for all the original cast Adam Jamie keri tory and grant r.i.p for making the show so entertaining and interesting to watch.
Watching this makes me feel like I can give my old KitchenAid mixer (a gift from a friend) some new lease on life. Or make another tote bag. Not sure which.
It is also worth mentioning that my workshop is not so well insulated as not insulated at all. So all my tools rust. So it could be a big help if you could make a video about it. Preferably detailed.
When a new sewing student arrives I hand them an "ergpnomic" stitch ripper and say, "This is your stitch ripper. You will sew with it. You will eat with it. You will....."😊
Dear Mr Savage I just placed my father's Model 77 white rotary sewing machine in a place where I can use it any suggestions before I fire it up and what I should do for maintenance wise? Keep up the good inspirational work
Recently I made my own NASA Style IKEA lunch box shell. I'm quite prowed of it. I to big but who cares. :D I used the old sewing machine of my past away grandmother. Would like to see more like this. :D Edit: Videos of sewing not passing away. :´)
The bit at 5:10 when Adam has problem with his words... TH-cam decided to show me an ad for a wine merchant. This algorithm thing appears to be developing a sense of humour.
Speaking from experience, 27:44 is the exact moment I would have accidentally knocked all my pins/clips onto the floor, after taking anywhere from 2-10x longer than Adam to make something that is 1/5th as nice. Then I would have for the nth time said "sewing is hard and dumb, and I am never attempting anything like this again" only to forget this and try and make another stuffed animal for a young family member a year later.
Okay. True story: Before seeing this video, and then seeing this object in the background of the Q&A videos, I thought, "Huh. Some fan must have created a fabric version of a Star Wars camtono and then given it to Adam at a con. I'll bet we hear that story eventually." Well, nope. 😂
I have never used a sewing machine, have no desire to do so. I have never touched or seen sail cloth. I have no interest in the apple vision VR headset. Did i watch the whole video, absolutely enraptured the whole way through? Yes.
Ah yes the humble quest for the perfect Apple Vision Pro bag, I have participated in this adventure. Ive got a great 3d printed design for a better visor mount. Let me know if you want one!
The way SR does their zig zag is... weird to say the least. I've machines that are older than most of the people who've designed that machine, combined that still have the timing set proper. Can't say i understand that particular design choice other than labeling it as over complication. FTR: i have a SR machine myself. I like it. I just don't particularly agree with the design. Also, a lot of people don't bother with sending it, they just buy the modified gear that's given a key. A guy makes them.
The reason you cannot remember what you were going to make, is because your a "Waffler", I am too, guess what I am also ASD/ADHD, what a surprise,,LOL! Great video as usual BTW
Love this stuff, but I wanna send you a seem ripper and a flexible measuring tape "cloth tape ". But at $11US to ship $5 worth of something, the lesson here...
Do you ever feel like time for us here is short and that our friendships we have are more valuable then our pride? In other words do you ever talk to Jamie any more? If not were there not enough good moments that pride will let that never let those good moments happen again? Perhaps the past is better left there? just a thought. All i know is.. life here is getting shorter every day and all too soon certain oppertunies can pass us by.
Agreed. Should have just sewed that bag shut and saved the zipper. Not like there’s anything useful to do with those arrogantly priced… sunglasses?? 🙃😂
When you contact a manufacturer, they must think, "Adam Savage is taking our thing apart on TH-cam!" That should inspire future manufacturers to make the insides of their machines pretty!
I don't trust Adam Savage's review of Apple's VR, there are vastly more anecdotes about how shit it is and after hearing those criticisms I don't feel anyone could be Adam's level of ecstatic. I mean they are already planning to no longer support further development, there are only a few hundred apps. Additionally everyone wearing one looks like such a clown, one that has to always be stimulated, even worse you interface with it by pinching at the air, and the eye tracking is awful from what I hear.
Sure, _for the price._ If it were cheaper nobody would complain. It's a super fancy devkit with all the functions of a future device which will need apps. I'm pretty sure that Adam has tried all available headsets. And I say this as someone who hates Apple btw, and would never buy this.

What about when he whistles in lieu of specifying? (e.g. 3:40)
Honestly, it kind of drives me nuts. 🥜🌰🥜🌰
"this spins freely on this, but there should be a press fit"
@@zyxwvut4740I was coming to bring up. His whistles for brevity. Glad someone else had the same thought.

Quilter & bag maker here. Among other things, I guess you couldn't hear me telling you to leave that zipper open before you finished that last seam.
Adam, thankyou.

I saw this bag on his bench in another day and I was like "i need that" and now he's making a video!!! I am so happy!!

So nice. I would love to have one of these Sailrite Sewing Machines.

zippers are incredible things a lot of people don't know that most sippers have a mechanism that locks the zipper unless you pull on the Dingle Dangle
Wish I had a sewing machine and an infinite supply of fabrics, I have sooo many cool bag ideas to realize!
The amounts of cool knowledge/Fix-it knowledge in your brain astounds me Mr. Savage! I'm giving you my sharpest blacksmith salute!
Such fun to watch you enjoy your favorite tools. Brilliant. Smiles. 💙🌻💙🦃

I love taking things apart and putting them back together. That zigzag piece works like some fishing reals
Great job Adam. Thank you 😊

A really awesome bag, for a specific item, well done 👍
And using sail cloth, so cool 😄

Yo thats actually sick. That looks so satisfying to use and hold.

"Someone is at the front door."
Does Adam have a cheeky bee that likes to set off his door cam? 😅
I enjoyed this video very much. I considered the Sailrite when I purchased an industrial for bag making.
Watching this makes me feel like I can give my old KitchenAid mixer (a gift from a friend) some new lease on life. Or make another tote bag. Not sure which.
From another maker who specializes in sewing, this was incredibly relatable.
Dude, that is a slick case! Very astronaut!! It looks perfect!
Can you make a video about how to restore Rusty tools? Without expensive equipment? Ps I come from Denmark and am a big fan.
It is also worth mentioning that my workshop is not so well insulated as not insulated at all. So all my tools rust. So it could be a big help if you could make a video about it. Preferably detailed.
i've always loved when adam gets primal after finishing a project
Most satisfying thing I've seen all year!
When a new sewing student arrives I hand them an "ergpnomic" stitch ripper and say, "This is your stitch ripper. You will sew with it. You will eat with it. You will....."😊
seeing the Vision Pro so close to the edge of the table gave me a lot of stress ahahah. good job Adam !
We need a compilation video of Adam's descriptive noises out of context!
At this point the slate is just comical 😂
Super satisfying results and a skill I would love to learn 👌🏼
I miss my compound bow - I loved target shooting - very mindful . .needs me some of that.
Awesome! Well Done!!!
I wish I was just a small fragment as smart as he is. It's just amazing what he can accomplish
I think you would surprise yourself
Dear Mr Savage I just placed my father's Model 77 white rotary sewing machine in a place where I can use it any suggestions before I fire it up and what I should do for maintenance wise? Keep up the good inspirational work
Recently I made my own NASA Style IKEA lunch box shell. I'm quite prowed of it. I to big but who cares. :D I used the old sewing machine of my past away grandmother.
Would like to see more like this. :D Edit: Videos of sewing not passing away. :´)
That's wonderful!
Hah, the Endgame-esque "5 months later" card. I see you, editor.
:)
Love my sailrite.
The bit at 5:10 when Adam has problem with his words... TH-cam decided to show me an ad for a wine merchant. This algorithm thing appears to be developing a sense of humour.
There's ads here?
I would have gone with a leather and wood protective case which would be more protective although heavier!
Great video sir 😊
Speaking from experience, 27:44 is the exact moment I would have accidentally knocked all my pins/clips onto the floor, after taking anywhere from 2-10x longer than Adam to make something that is 1/5th as nice. Then I would have for the nth time said "sewing is hard and dumb, and I am never attempting anything like this again" only to forget this and try and make another stuffed animal for a young family member a year later.
You rip what you sew....
Okay. True story: Before seeing this video, and then seeing this object in the background of the Q&A videos, I thought, "Huh. Some fan must have created a fabric version of a Star Wars camtono and then given it to Adam at a con. I'll bet we hear that story eventually." Well, nope. 😂
This was hilarious!❤
I have never used a sewing machine, have no desire to do so. I have never touched or seen sail cloth. I have no interest in the apple vision VR headset. Did i watch the whole video, absolutely enraptured the whole way through? Yes.
Same. And I’ll probably watch it again…
It almost looks NASAesque!
May I ask where you got those clothespins from please?
Ah yes the humble quest for the perfect Apple Vision Pro bag, I have participated in this adventure.
Ive got a great 3d printed design for a better visor mount. Let me know if you want one!
Lol some zippers have a mechanism on it that when pull tab it somehow allows movement 🤣 that turned into an ordeal to open....
i would love to make nasa type stuff for my things. Maybe someday in the future =)
I learned as you did that leaving the zipper half open when final assembly makes life easier. 7/10 nice but could do better
The way SR does their zig zag is... weird to say the least. I've machines that are older than most of the people who've designed that machine, combined that still have the timing set proper. Can't say i understand that particular design choice other than labeling it as over complication.

I am so interested😂
So we're just going to ignore Storm Breaker behind Adam?
What about the case it comes with? Anything inherently wrong with it?
I've been on the wrong side of a locking zipper many a time.
New demerit badge: Sewed the zipper backwards
the badge makes it
The reason you cannot remember what you were going to make, is because your a "Waffler", I am too, guess what I am also ASD/ADHD, what a surprise,,LOL! Great video as usual BTW
This will be really useful for the 8 people who’ve got these and actually use them! 😂
Trust me, anyone who own a sailboat either has one or knows someone who has one!
Love this stuff, but I wanna send you a seem ripper and a flexible measuring tape "cloth tape ". But at $11US to ship $5 worth of something, the lesson here...
Got my coffee, let’s go! Press play
Woot!
Man you should have gotten a Juki or a Pfaff right from the get go. It looks like you barely use the machine and it’s already failed you…
Sometimes you wear your glasses to work and sometimes you don't. Are you nearsighted, farsighted??
Pretty sure the whole time he's wearing his glasses he's peeking over the top of them here 😂
A press fit on something that is constantly moving heavy stuff around? Seems designed to fail.
Please more build in cave videos like this. There has been too much of the other stuff lately.
There are builds every Wednesday.
Would have been a good video to be filmed a bit closer.
Do you ever feel like time for us here is short and that our friendships we have are more valuable then our pride?
In other words do you ever talk to Jamie any more?
If not were there not enough good moments that pride will let that never let those good moments happen again? Perhaps the past is better left there? just a thought. All i know is.. life here is getting shorter every day and all too soon certain oppertunies can pass us by.
You might want to correct the title @Tested This isn't a VR Headset case, but I will be looking forward to that video 😅
Agreed. Should have just sewed that bag shut and saved the zipper. Not like there’s anything useful to do with those arrogantly priced… sunglasses?? 🙃😂

wouldn't it be better (easier) to just bush the gear?

And I say this as someone who hates Apple btw, and would never buy this.
Adam can now officially announce he got his bag in a sail.
If you get rid of all the drumming and the hooting, your videos might be more enjoyable.
Your content has been fairly lackluster as of late. This seems a bit more interesting.
Thumbnail looks like a makeup case and I need one of those. Thanks for the accidental tutorial.😂🫶🏼
