    As a wheelchair user, this would have BLOWN my childhood mind. As an adult wheelchair user, I'm still jealous. Great project. Those were amazing builds.

    This is making my eyes sweat a little bit. Magic Wheelchacir is one of that most fulfilling charities to work with. Was SO super stoked to help out and can't wait for next year's build! Feel like hugging all the builders again after seeing this.

  • @ther3aper561
    @ther3aper561 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I teared up a bit seeing the happy looks on the children's faces. That is such a cool thing, and it's so awesome to know there's an organization that does this sort of thing.

    Whenever I watch Adam work I get ASMR because his voice is so calm and soothing like Bob Ross and just makes you want to be there with him.

    This project just gets more and more amazing every year!

      So how many years have you followed "this project"? You must be truly stupid for real!!!

      Matte Edström What are you even talking about?

    • @matteedstrom
      @matteedstrom 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You think this "project" took Adam several years? It can't get "more amazing every year!" ffs

    • @TheCrathes
      @TheCrathes 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matte Edström Hahah. OP is probably talking about Magic Wheelchair. That's the project this small project is dedicated to.

    @kurtisle 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Adam for all you do. You remind me of how great the City and the people who occupy it are. After 26 years I needed to move away to help my elderly parents in their last years. And I miss my real home so much. It's been almost 20 years and I still pine for the Bay Area every day. Thanks, you are a fine example of good people.

  • @TheBeeFactory
    @TheBeeFactory 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gotta say, you would really love powder coating tape for masking. It makes everything about masking easier and better. It's translucent, so you can see where you're putting your tape down, and it cuts cleaner and straighter than the blue stuff. It bends and shapes onto corners easier, and you can even bake it!
    Seriously if you don't use it now, get some. ULine carries it.
    Also this event is great. So cool to do this for these kids. Good on all of you for using your creativity to really brighten some lives.

    Adam should do a thing where he invites someone to his workshop where they build something together, of the persons choice.

    • @volrath__
      @volrath__ 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There have been a few collabs like that, he's done stuff with Vsauce, Aaron Douglas from Battlestar Galactica, helped fix a friend's cat wheel and more.
      I think the biggest issue with collabs is getting a time where both people can be in the same place at the same time for a day of filming. Like Adam says in this video he was in production for Mythbusters Jr and then had to go out to Comic Con, his schedule is pretty full, then there is getting someone in San Fran on a day he is free... Flying someone out or going somewhere just for a build wouldn't make money and takes time...

  • @steveallen8987

    He does awesome builds as well. He is on his second airplane.

    On another note, Adam, this is AMAZING!

    • @SegginsProductions
      @SegginsProductions 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haley Elston that's ok because from what Adam has said, it's not really a kids show, it's just a show "hosted" by kids. I can't wait either!

    Try the metalcast ground coat too as a base, looks awesome under the anodized color! Probably gives it more of a metallic quality than just painting over chrome.

Making things is my interest but it might not be yours so please just click off the video. Thank you Adam and tested I love how Adam can make anything on his one day builds even if there really not a day. :) Adam u inspired me to change my shop and go into graphic design and hopefully become a maker like you. I would love to be a prop maker also. again thank you and keep up with the great content.
