this is a basic illustration why it's so dificult to assemble airbus and joint european military gear projects: every country builds a sub assembly and in the end there is a fitting plant where they secretly operate the angle grinder and the big hammer.
People that haven been in the machining & manufacturing industry are so baffled as to why there are issues. These are done by people in their basement, not machinists with $5M worth of metrology/inspection instruments. Even in aerospace machining/manufacturing, there are sometimes fitment issues. Expecting a bunch of "makers" to do it flawlessly is unreasonable. Add to that the incomplete plans (that are not the actual plans, as Andrew made all the plans based on PICTURES of the actual hatch.), that the materials are not standard aerospace materials, and the fact that it is a piece of art and not an aerospace assembly, they did pretty good.
So proud of you and all your accomplishments. Don't ever be diminished by overthinking who you are, you are a wonderful person! Love and compassion to you!
Definitely a once in a lifetime experience that all involved will never forget. Our beloved Fran now has a permanent place in the history of space flight!
@@rayjennings3637 In the UK, "quite" actually means the same as when we say "really" in the US! I learned that after questioning a few statements myself.
Your attention to detail, thought and planning puts you in the cream of the Egress flock! A place well deserved. I hope the Smithsonian gives the exhibit the respect it deserves.
Seeing Adam having so much fun reminded me of my children. Their kindergarten teacher told me the use B for busted, C for confirmed an P for plausible. Thank you Adam and Jamie.
SO proud of you Fran! It is a testament to ALL the makers that were involved in this project that people can accomplish SO much if we just do it TOGETHER! Just brought tears to my eyes! Again, GREAT JOB! All that hard work...!
Woooow, your work is really there! With guys like Diresta and This Old Tony and more like those! I am so proud that I have been able to contribute just a little bit to what you have achieved! I love what you do.
I just rewatched this. Must admit I got pretty choked up and verklemmt. So much went into this. All these pieces coming together from all the people making a work of art, technology, and science. Moving.
Not the most hated city in America. Probably the most disliked bunch of politicians concentrated in a small piece of realistate. Love the video!!!! Wishing the best for America. Thanks for putting your part in a piece of history. Beat wished!!!
Such a beautiful tribute! I'm crying as I type. I'm so happy for you Fran to have been part of this project. Your latch merited a more visible location on the hatch than behind the hinge. I know that the project was much larger than the sum of its parts, and each part large or small is important. More importantly you once again are recognized as a Makers' Maker! Well done! Rest those tired hands and basque in the afterglow of emerging from the dark side of the move to this place in history.
Such blood sweat and tears from all the makers that poured themselves into this project, wow. Thank you Fran for sharing your part of this, it was awesome to watch you conquer obstacles and seeing how not only technology but your artistic talent went into your latch.
What a great result. Well done to all, particularly Jen who did the co-ordination. I've watched about half the videos and it is fascinating seeing the different techniques and materials. And you got your name and your work in the museum! Well done.
Nice work Fran and everybody who contributed their time and effort, funds as Patrons or sponsors, into letting us see this happen. Fran, you touched the moon. Such a personal experience. I hope they had something to clean it with though. I got to touch a piece of my personal favorite engineering and a piece of its time recently. It's such a cascade of emotions. It's been a helluva journey keeping up with every-one. If you can touch the moon, Fran, you can keep building on that.
I watched the whole process through the live stream which was a lot of fun. You are giving us a bonus by doing a quick little tour, how nice is that. I think it is a remarkable project and you must be very proud to have been participating and contributing with this awesome piece of handcraft. Great job!
Thanks for this, Fran. Felt like I was there. Reminded me of something from childhood where I was at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and we built things from found objects and materials. Fun times! 24:54 - Fran makes the trains run on time! Clearly from the support and help Adam's receiving, "who run the world? Girls!" I much prefer those parts (assemblies) that were machined to those that were merely printed. But everybody contributed, which is great. A long lost echo of the enormous effort 50 years ago. 51:31 - The money shot. Grats! You are immortalized in some small, yet significant, way. Well done, young lady! Now return to Earth... again!
So glad you made it to the build, Fran! Your piece was so excellent - the form, finish, and the beautifully smooth articulation. Well done! I only wish we had more of a chance to talk.
You knew there would be fitment issues but a sincere thanks for filming this. I never thought I'd get to see it. I hope it inspires the younger generation to get a mission going to Mars whether its through NASA and our government or private. We learn so much when we push the comfort of our human boundaries.
3:07 - Did I really just hear that? Am I understanding you correctly? They used one of **YOUR** videos for reference? 🤩 You should be darn proud of that, Fran!!! 4:16 - That is beautiful... but 4:32 is sacrilege! You are now officially a part of history. The hatch turned out beautifully, it's so nice to see makers everywhere contributing to the effort.
LOL, I agree. It's like, "well we let one of our irreplaceable devices sell on the open market, then pretend to be upset when its new owner does what she's entitled to do."
When I was a machinist in the Navy we had a saying. If that don't work, try a bigger hammer. When Adam used the hammer on the outer window bracket, I had a feeling that was not going to have a good ending. That fit looked way off. A simple hand plane would have taken less than a minute to trim it a bit. Too many people forget about the simple hand powered tools that worked great for thousands of years.
This fellow machinist agrees. Had every tool for every conceivable situation? Good grief, a mill file would've fit that part to a tee in minutes. But he used Boeing's third rule of manufacture. Oh, guess where I work, lol?
Congratulations Fran! A fitting tribute to the 400,000+ engineers, artists, scientists, and others who came together, and accomplished for the moon landings to succeed. Now, if we can just work together like that to solve the big problems facing us today.
Thank you for your excellent coverage of this event! I looked everywhere for something like this. You rock Fran! Btw... Your part was one of the best up there. 😉
I missed the live stream, but was just grinning through this whole video. It was great to see everything happening on the mall and around the museum, too. Living vicariously through you!
48:40 its kind of cute and heartwarming to see Adam Speaking to the camera. He really is an awesome dude and I am happy you can really see it from that angle. Its almost like he is talking to a person and not a camera.
How beautiful, what a privilege to be part of this. I wanted so much to be close and see, but you sharing, thanks! - Obrigado por compartilhar! estamos acompanhando...
How fun and exciting to see them install your latch. It looks really nice. It's a great project, made even greater with your contribution! Thanks for taking us along!
One of the most exciting and emotional things I've watched in a long time! It was great to see all those unique parts assembled in one place. And now some of your work is in the Smithsonian! Congratulations, Fran, and all the engineers who put their labor and know-how into this great tribute to the Apollo program!
Brilliant! I always said your latch was a thing of beauty Fram but the completed hatch... just WoW! You must be very pround to be part of this, with your latch for the hatch.
This is SO COOL! The collaboration between some of my favorite makers is inspiring. But I gotta say: think of the hours, days and years that went into designing, engineering and fabricating a system that's built to be used... twice (if all goes well). Thank all you guys for doing this, and congrats for pulling it all together on a REAL tight timeline.
Awesome Fran , great to see your part fit perfectly , i whole occasion was brilliant , all those people who contributed and somehow it all fit together .
The LEM is clearly considerably larger than most people would imagine. Sometimes scale is difficult to ascertain without a reference to normal everyday objects and people. Did you get more shots from the museum? You could make an entire video showing the exhibits.
Awesome Fran, we have the Moon Landing documentary on TV here in NZ tonight to celebrate, and I turn 50 at the end of the year. So great seeing you at the Smithsonian Live!
Thank you for this! I've been looking all over for some footage of this. You got me excited as I followed your build log. :) Your assembly looks stunning in place!
Thanks so much for this Fran! It was a great experience watching this...the A&S Museum is a place I have visited many times in my youth, and it was great to see some of the exhibits you included in your video (especially Neil Armstrong's suit!). What a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing! You rock!
Well, that was definitely one exciting video! Your latch fit was perfect! When I saw parts were breaking, I remembered your attention to detail and hearing you discuss grain structures within the wood to ensure the parts would be able to withstand the task at hand. Once again I say Bravo Zulu Fran, Bravo Zulu!
Watching this come together has been an amazing experience I was anxious that Adam didn’t break your latch when he went at it with the power tool Amazing achievement Fran so happy for you
It's incredible Fran that something as simple as you taking apart the DSKY lead to further learning and discovery! You did that, and you were the first to do that :O
It looked like the show was more about the celebrities who screwed it together rather than the makers. Knowing how much care Fran and the other makers had put into their pieces it was a little embarrassing how rough the instillation was.
ToT part spotted, my mission here is done.
Yup, saw the green bushing, lol
That luminous green, you can't NOT see it :P
BANG! ZOOM! to the moon with you!
Yepppppppp!Same for NYCCNC/SMW throttle-grip thingy......
This is what i came here for.
Thank you Fran for capturing this build. So glad you made the trip so other that couldn't would be able to see it.
this is a basic illustration why it's so dificult to assemble airbus and joint european military gear projects: every country builds a sub assembly and in the end there is a fitting plant where they secretly operate the angle grinder and the big hammer.
When the prints and models had no tolerances or GD&T applied that threw up major red flags!
when they replace a daisy chain of set screws by fixed length artistic impressions

Several! Without her YT tear-down, the DSKY in LEM 2 might not have come together! :)
Great to see your name on the plaque, Fran. You're a legend and also quite a nice person!

@@jmelynn2012 This is quite true.
@@jmelynn2012 not in my part of the UK it's not.
Fran & Adam Savage in the same building...never thought that would happen 😁✌️ Congratulations 🎉👍
Your attention to detail, thought and planning puts you in the cream of the Egress flock! A place well deserved. I hope the Smithsonian gives the exhibit the respect it deserves.
Way to go Fran for beating everybody else on providing us all with coverage of the event, thanks!
What a fantastic journey to follow. Fran's dimensions: exactly on specification. Fran being right there making video, priceless.
Seeing Adam having so much fun reminded me of my children. Their kindergarten teacher told me the use B for busted, C for confirmed an P for plausible. Thank you Adam and Jamie.

Totally Agree and speak for yourself Fran! Thanks Adam!
Nice work on the latch, Fran. And thanks for bringing us along on your visit to see the installation.
Such a beautiful tribute! I'm crying as I type. I'm so happy for you Fran to have been part of this project. Your latch merited a more visible location on the hatch than behind the hinge.

That was fun, thanks for being involved! It was also nice to see you get some well deserved fan appreciation.
Congrats Fran. You have every right to feel very proud.
Awesome thank you for the video!!
Such blood sweat and tears from all the makers that poured themselves into this project, wow. Thank you Fran for sharing your part of this, it was awesome to watch you conquer obstacles and seeing how not only technology but your artistic talent went into your latch.
This sends chills down my spine. Absolutely loved it when the wood and plastic parts started breaking. Thanks Fran!
What a great result. Well done to all, particularly Jen who did the co-ordination. I've watched about half the videos and it is fascinating seeing the different techniques and materials. And you got your name and your work in the museum! Well done.
Jen was clearly half the attraction! Reminds me of Alex Kingston.
Congratulations! What a tremendously emotional and satisfying moment this must have been. Thank you for sharing this day with us! ❤️❤️
Huge thanks for sharing this with everyone. What a marvellous example of team work! Your part fit perfectly!
Congrats, what an amazing thing to be a part of and to have your work remembered for many years to come!
Nice work Fran and everybody who contributed their time and effort, funds as Patrons or sponsors, into letting us see this happen. Fran, you touched the moon. Such a personal experience.

Thanks for the well produced footage, great to see the halls and the building up close. Much better than even the live stream!
Congratulations Fran, truly an honour for any Maker! And a great filming job, you leave us wanting for naught, cheers! And thanks a lot!

I think it is a remarkable project and you must be very proud to have been participating and contributing with this awesome piece of handcraft. Great job!
At around 48 minutes you see how much of a pro Adam is, you know he's exhausted there.
Thanks for this, Fran. Felt like I was there. Reminded me of something from childhood where I was at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and we built things from found objects and materials. Fun times!
24:54 - Fran makes the trains run on time!

3:07 - Did I really just hear that? Am I understanding you correctly? They used one of **YOUR** videos for reference? 🤩 You should be darn proud of that, Fran!!!

How fun and exciting to see them install your latch. It looks really nice. It's a great project, made even greater with your contribution! Thanks for taking us along!
It's great to see what a group of people can build together and not destroy.
Awesome to see the final project come together!
One of the most exciting and emotional things I've watched in a long time!
It was great to see all those unique parts assembled in one place.
And now some of your work is in the Smithsonian! Congratulations, Fran, and all the engineers who put their labor and know-how into this great tribute to the Apollo program!
WATCHED IT ON TV TH-cam.... MY WIFE AND I CHEERED WHEN YOU PART WAS ATTACHED!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Fran this is wonderful. Your part is perfect!
FranLatch! Mission accomplished!
How great to see your work included in the build and recognised. Good work. Adam and his team did a great thing.
Unbelievable! Outstanding. What an amazing idea and project. Well done Fran!
Brilliant! I always said your latch was a thing of beauty Fram but the completed hatch... just WoW!
You must be very pround to be part of this, with your latch for the hatch.
Thank you for taking us along.
Congrats Fran. Good to see all of you working together.
This video makes my smile muscles sore... _Worth it!_ :D
So cool to see you there filming next to us. This video is fantastic. Nice editing too.
At about the 16 minute mark Adam starts to think..."Maybe we should of spent some time adding tolerances or GD&T to all the prints...!"
It's art.
And Jimmy Deresta used electrical soldering weak and had to have his shit taped. He fucked it all up for everyone. We're doomed
This is SO COOL! The collaboration between some of my favorite makers is inspiring. But I gotta say: think of the hours, days and years that went into designing, engineering and fabricating a system that's built to be used... twice (if all goes well).
Thank all you guys for doing this, and congrats for pulling it all together on a REAL tight timeline.
Awesome Fran , great to see your part fit perfectly , i whole occasion was brilliant , all those people who contributed and somehow it all fit together .
Yours was the best one! it looked the most refined and functional.
The LEM is clearly considerably larger than most people would imagine. Sometimes scale is difficult to ascertain without a reference to normal everyday objects and people.

You just keep getting more cool and more awesome Fran.
Congratulations! You have transitioned from just an admirer of the story of early space flight to part of the story itself.
Pretty Damn Cool . . . . !!! Great job Fran , and all the other contributors 👍👍
This is your moment Fran! A moment now and an achievement forever!! (BTW, Fran will never wash that finger again! ;-) )
Thanks so much for this Fran! It was a great experience watching this...the A&S Museum is a place I have visited many times in my youth, and it was great to see some of the exhibits you included in your video (especially Neil Armstrong's suit!).

Glad to see you there.
Thanks so much for sharing this once in a lifetime experience. I feel like I was there.
Fran, thank you for the video, it is fantastic! I saw the live feed, but this detailed one is even better!. Cheers from Buenos Aires :)
Adam vacuums up his own messes!

Once again I say Bravo Zulu Fran, Bravo Zulu!
Fantastic work you have done Fran, thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
Congrats Fran, I liked how much care they took with your part and compared it multiple times to the other one, yours was clearly better :)
Thanks! It makes me feel seven years old again.
38:19 "it's in..." - yes. YES!
I love how that came out so quiet and calm ;)
Congratulations, thank you for sharing your process, and this video too!
You weren't the first on moon but first on youtube to bring us this
Watching this come together has been an amazing experience
I was anxious that Adam didn’t break your latch when he went at it with the power tool
Amazing achievement Fran so happy for you
It's incredible Fran that something as simple as you taking apart the DSKY lead to further learning and discovery! You did that, and you were the first to do that :O
“I’m still orbiting the moon right now”, higher than cloud 9.... Brilliant, great video, well done !!!
I saw you in the live feed, and i was happy to see you .
Well done you !
I almost wish the whole thing had been done in a steampunk theme. Would love to see the same group of makers do another project together.
Beyond exciting!! Amazing job, Fran!!
It's cool yours it right next to those Diresta hinges, definitely means it'll get looked at a lot.
That was so cool, would like to have a seen a group photograph of all the makers
It looked like the show was more about the celebrities who screwed it together rather than the makers. Knowing how much care Fran and the other makers had put into their pieces it was a little embarrassing how rough the instillation was.
There should be a children's book in this... "the Latch on the Hatch"
This was such a great project. Thanks for sharing, Fran!
My hat is off to you Fran, not only off but in a deep sweeping bow.
Congrats and good landing Fran! Well done -looks great
Did you also gasp every time Adam picked up a hammer?
Part Busters.😂😂😂
Especially when he started using the mallet on the frame around the window around the 15 minute mark. I was worried that something would break..
Awesome work, Fran. As always.
You are officially back!!! Good job!!
