Highly recommended channel: Engel's Coach Shop
Rebuilding wagons and coaches from the 1800s and early 1900s
2:45 fun fact, at the machinist shop that i work at, for a while we made the valves ports for that product. they are a pain to make at times.
Honestly loved the cruise ship series too
make a real lightsaber
i commented specs on last video
Thanks so much for the shout-out, Adam! I really appreciate it! ❤
The description of tire inflators being a "weird amorphous trophy shape" vocalized an unexpressed frustration I've had my entire life.
Same. Freaking same homie. Top comment
Also, I’m pretty sure they are weird shapes because they are repurposing case molds from other products. This became obvious when all the tire inflators on Aliexpress were suddenly shaped like drills. I opened a busted one and the components on the inside looked like they were social distancing
I actually did what Adam wanted to do. I had an old TCM electric pump from the ... mid 00's (might be a bit older). Made an aluminium box on my bender and i've been using it as a brick for years now. Bout the only thing that changed is better batteries. This is the way. Tools these days look like toys.
@@TheStampi Plus it allows them to re-use batteries you might already have. There are also plenty of Aliexpress inflators that look like the one Adam shown, from well known (for Aliexpress) brands like Xiaomi or Baseus, both rechargeable and powered from the cigarette lighter port.
Same goes for electric pressure washers, some of them are terrible to store
Thanks for the shout out Adam! You have (of course) been a life-long inspiration.
My manager at a screen printing shop once sent one of those pressured aerosol cans full of acetone down an industrial dryer running at 360 degrees by accident. I’d seen enough mythbusters to know to run for cover but instead of exploding, that little can popped out burning hot but intact. Solid product.
Pressure relief valves are included on pressure tanks for a reason
I'm ready for Adam to do a monthly "home shopping network" video where he shows us random stuff he's bought "for work"
ursula le guin was my writing professor at Capilano college in North Vancouver in the late 70's. Brilliant woman. She inspired me in writing.
I just want to thank Adam and the tested crew for everything. You all mean more than what you think.
Appreciate that …
Thank you for not contracting "You" and "all".
@@RickR69y’all
Thanks Adam and all of Tested studios
Frozen end of year hail from FINLAND - I say this with purest honesty from my heart - this channel saved my mental health this year from relatively deep existential crisis / depression as creative person and I wanted to humbly thank YOU ADAM + ENTOURAGE for giving me unfiltered raw inspiration and motive to gradually get back on steam again - peace and love and thank you - 2024 here we come 🤟🖤
Wishing you a much much better 2024 🙏🏼💝🤞🏼💝🙏🏼
“The lathe of heaven “ is one of her best ❤
Adam, I am extremely glad I exist in the same timeline as you. You're just an amazing human being.
Totally agree… I would love Adam as a friend and colleague…. I think he is an amazing person… very like myself in mindset. I’ve read Adam’s book “Every tools a hammer”, it’s so amazing!!!!!
Hearing Adam talk about his favourite movies this year made me realize that I miss the podcasts, both Still Untitled and This Is Only a Test. Still hoping they return some day..
Also wondering what Adam thinks of The Creator and its visual design! Pulling of so much with such a small budget.
thumbs up for the Ursula recommendation
The tape dispenser! I remember your absolute wonder when it arrived, and I love how it’s on this list now!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Thanks for your list of tools. I know I'm not alone when I say, thanks for constantly inspiring me and the rest of your followers.
You and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy new year ❤
I'm going to be straight honest. The episode seeing your excitement for the Mitutoyo gauge blocks is probably one of my favorite things i've ever watched. It displayed how i feel when i find something awesome for my home shop. I would treat those blocks like my children haha
Thanks for a highly entertaining year Adam! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!!
Happy new year! Thank you for being a science educator. I've learned so much from your work!
Happy Holidays to all the other Geeks around the world… thanks Adam and the Tested Team for a great year.
Merry Christmas to you and all your family and all the folks at Tested. Thanks for all your great content. Thanks.
Thanks so much for your best of episode each year - always find something to put on my gift list. I started listening to You Must Remember This based on your recommendation last year, and the 90s series and the 80s one that preceded it were just incredible. I highly recommend Proof from America's Test Kitchen. A great example is "How to Make a Battle-Ready Pizza" - the complexity and science behind good MREs is fascinating, and the passion that those involved have for it comes through. Also love Technology Connections on TH-cam, he does great deep dives into so many technology areas, old and new. I'm forever fascinated about how things were done mechanically before integrated circuits and such. His episode on "Old Pinball Machines are Amazingly Complex" is great!
I also can't recommend Technology Connections enough!
@@dylanrutan634thanks for your recommendation whoever you are. 😂
I've had one of those little craft store heat guns for 15 years. I use it all the time to heat small rust-frozen parts and electrical shrink insulation. Thanks for yet another year of great youtube content.
Adam I understand that meaning of falling asleep watching your favorite TH-cam videos. Sorry but on nights that I'm switching from dayshift to night shift I have to stay up all night till four or five in the morning. I put on your one day build videos and it's so comforting I fall asleep. I wake as soon as it end and start it again. I end up watching it three times to watch the full video. Thank you for the great content. Happy holidays to you and the Tested Team.
Adam and the rest of the Tested crew you are some of the most important people in my life thank you for everything you do.
Everyone at Tested, stay awesome!
I have watched many of your videos with great enjoyment but have yet to pay you the ultimate compliment of falling asleep during them! More power to your forearm in 2024!
Adam Savage! You never cease to surprise me. You never cease to surprise me in amazing ways. Your show, is like a light summer rain, when you are in love, after waking up to the best day of your life and you know it. And yet, here I sit, with a ridiculously big smile. Your enthusiasm is highly contagious and I wish you could infect everybody with a bit of mad happy weird intelligent positivity! The world would become a much more interesting, more beautiful and more peaceful place. And yet I can only speak for me. Thank you Adam for continuously making my days better! And Ursula le Guin and Steven Mold are two other people who continue to bring me the same joy. I wish you the best 2024 I can ever think of!
Not sure why it took me so long to find this channel but I love it.
Welcome… the water is warm. This channel will get you through some frustrating times… it’s sheer bliss to watch Adam narrate his way through the building processes…. And fully includes his screwups. Yes, he IS human 🤓
I love the flexible neck magnetic sewing machine led lights. I have one mounted on the back of my computer tower to see cables and ports. I've used them for auto repair, excellent for working on brakes and calipers.
oh Adam, i think i speak for a lot of people when i say that,
you are already immortal, in fact, you are a movie/prop national and international, cause I'm in Denmark, treasure, absolutely you are 💯%
Thank you Adam and Norm and Tested crew you are all some of my biggest inspiration to be better and follow my passions in life so thank you so much i cant wait to see what you all have in store for 2024
Appreciate your comment so much … happy holidays!
Never really warch these end of the year videos. Been a fan of you must remeber this for the last couple years, so happy to hear its one of adams favorite
As always, a pleasure!
Amazing tips as usual.
*Hot tip* I use the same SureShot Aerosol sprayer,
I cut a thread onto the Schrader valve, because it has a smooth outside, but after threading I can screw on a cool valve cap instead of the rubber cap
0.305-32 (.305x32) is the size die nut you need- Amazon
Happy New Year!!
I've been wishy-washy about getting the portable tire inflater for a couple years. Now, it's ordered and on the way! Thank you, Adam, for sharing your thoughts about all this cool stuff!
So was it worth it? I need something for my car.
@@Billo1281 yeah, it’s ok. It’s pressure reading is about 3 or so PSI low, compared to two other pressure gauges I compared it to, though. Problem is, I’m not sure who to trust as most accurate! One knock, as other commenters noted in reviews is, the hose is really short and the inflator hanging off the tire looks like the hose is kind of kinked. Part of my desire for an electric one is so I don’t have to bend over the whole time, to spare back pain. I just find something to prop it up. Finally, it’s definitely slower than a compressor and only a bit quieter.
Overall, I’m happy with the convenience and very compact size. Having it in the car is good peace of mind.
P.s. I also love the auto shutoff feature…I just hope I’m not over inflating.
Hearing you speak so glowingly about Mathematica in the Boston MOS hit me in the feels. Every time I go to the MoS that's always where I end up spending the most time, it's such a fun exhibit hall.
I use those tape dispensers at work. I love them.
Having discovered and subscribing to this TH-cam channel IS STILL one of the best things I am very thankful for. And I'm also Absolutely thankful for how Awesome Adam Savage is 😘
Merry Christmas Adam & everybody at Tested!
I love falling to sleep to YOUR videos brother! They make me feel like I’m not alone in in my room and really give me a sense of comfort. Even when your using loud tools. I sleep like a baby. ❤️
Great rundown of some excellent things!
I always like these lists, I am not a maker but there is always at least one thingie that becomes super useful in for regular use :D
When the whole scrapbooking craze was going on fifteen or so years ago, my wife picked up one of those heat tools (branded "Marvy Uchida") to activate the embossing ink stuff. Over the years I've taken it over as my go-to tool for heat shrink tubing. I love it!
I just saw Past Lives last week and it's one of my favourite films of the year. It felt like a Richard Linklater film and that's a very high compliment considering that Past Lives is Celine Songs first movie, which she not only wrote but also produced and directed herself! I can't want to see what she does next.
Happy to see you on the tube brother
YES!!! Past Lives is my favorite film of the year. I’ve watched it 4 times so far this year. The Director’s Commentary is phenomenal as well!
Adam you really have to read The Sun Eater Saga by Christopher Ruocchio! It is the best Science Fiction being written today! Empire of Silence is the first book!
So I think you mentioned them last year but I just got a pair of Kant twist clamps a few days ago for the first time and love them already. Thanks for these episodes.
I'm a big Ursula Le Guin fan, it's so lovely hearing someone else who's appreciated her work. Much respect!
it was so great to see you at makers fair again and so awsome to have in vallejo
Oh man what a serpentine path life can take us. Thanks to this video I immediately checked Left Hand of Darkness out of the library and have been listening to it for a couple of days. This author Ursula k LeGuin, I knew the name but couldn’t place it and knew I’d never read any of her works. Finally a third of the way through the book the tickle in my mind kept getting bigger and I discover she wrote The ones who walk away from omelas. I had forgotten the name of this short story I read 25 years ago in an English class. The story struck me and stuck with me, and I would make references to it without thinking. But I never tried to find its origin. Adam you continue to touch peoples lives even in minor intangible ways, like this quantum tunnel to my past!! Lol! Cheers.
My favorite moment from the channel this year is that outtake reel you’ve conveniently attached to the end of this. Adam’s ability to laugh at his inability to remember his store’s web address never ceases to bring a smile to my face.
OMG - How have I only just found Adam's channel. So exited to spend 2024 catching up. Adam thanks for this great video.
I love the bloopers, you should do more of them!
I just recently read the Earthsea books for the first time. Had a lot of fun choosing a hardcover from a different printing for all six books and was delighted to see the obvious inspirations for another of my favorite series, The Magicians by Lev Grossman. I know signed copies of The Left Hand of Darkness go for quite a bit of money, and I have a first edition of Rocannon's World on my shelf waiting to start that series. Glad to hear there's more excellent works from LeGuin that are soon to come my way.
I started using those lights a few years ago. They are great.
I have that exact same sprayer at work, you can also get a quick twist thumb nob for easy hand filling. best thing ever.
I loved these.
Adam, you are such a beautiful person, thanks for everything!
Got super excited when you talked about Ursula Leguin. ‘The ones who walked away from Omelas’ messed me up when I first read it. Love your channel, Adam!
Adam, much love for highlighting The Left Hand of Darkness, by far my favorite book, LeGuin is one of the best authors of the 20th/21st Century and I hope lots of people pick up her work in in 2024.
Great video Adam .
If Books Could Kill is fantastic. The older episodes of You're Wrong About with Michael Hobbs are really great as well.
Thank you Adam, that magnetic light was just what I needed for my band saw . Perfect, thank you
Oh my god i hear you 10000% on Tire Inflators!
Love your work Adam, thanks for everything! Not gonna lie, but I think I need that Bambu Labs printer, those work lights, and tape dispenser in my life!
Thanks for the coverage of bambu lab printers. We purchased one at work and it's been running like a dream. Upgrading from a makerbot replicator X2 / ender something. Print quality is amazing and software is apparently very intuitive someone else does the printing I'm not involved in that "yet". Merry Christmas everyone
My all time favorite tool is an iced tea spoon. I make jewelry and the bowl of the spoon easily accesses the little mini ziploc bags I use for beads.
ADAM! With Future Motion being so anti right to repair, I would love to see a one-day build where you drop in a VESC controller and free your OneWheel!!! I have done a few boards and everyone absolutely loves them :) The customization it offers you along with the added safety you get from the better controller is simply out of this world. Not to mention adding a remote for even more control and real time data from the controller makes the OneWheel so much more usable and amazing. With your machining abilities, you could do some really cool modifications from battery boxes to custom rails!
Those sure-shot sprayers have a little brass thing under the outer section of the nozzle that you can remove for laser beam mode, if you don't want a fine mist!
Those travel bags are nice. I have a ski bag that has a laptop sleeve style compartment, and I stitched a panel of velcro to it, I then have a similar set of bags that I stick to the velco inside the bag. That way they just aren't all shuffling around in the bag loose. I can then switch out the bags for whatever use I have for the bag that day. Going skiing, take my bags that have my ski tools, sunscreen etc. Traveling, switch out for my bag with my battery bank, passport etc.
Sure shot spayers have been around for many decades we use them at work for anti spatter for welding.
those sureshot canisters are great. I used those in the shop for years when I worked in an auto shop, we used them for brake clean. Extremely nice to have.
Always thrilled to hear Le Guin mentioned
That tape dispenser is truly a wonderful piece of equipment. I'm considering getting 1 or 2 more, for different types of tape. I use it for basting tape when dewing, and having presets its a dream! Don't sleep on a $150 tape dispenser!
Happy holidays to everyone! :) Wishing you all everything the best in 2024!
What an absolutely phenomenal channel.
My favourite thing of 2023 was finally noticing that labels on the inside of t-shirts and jumpers and things are always on the left, so I no longer have to peer all the way down to see the neck label (if it even exists) to know which way round it goes.
Thanks. I had read Left Hand of Darkness long ago but had never heard of The Word for World Is Forest.
Ooh, that smoke tool might be really useful for bee keeping.
your comments on 3D printers, would love if you did a video just on those. What new ones do you have, WHY re they so much better? advice, etc. I have one from 3-4 years ago and it is good, but your enthusiasm now has me wondering about an upgrade.
I use old zipper bank bags great for Allen wrenches sockets wrenches ect . Wipe the names off with solvent .😊
I love Adam QVC speed rounds
Tape dispenser!!!
I will agree, Bambu x1c is the bomb... I would also add Revopoint inspire as been fun and useful with 3d printing.
It's an awesome looking tomahawk and I like what you did with the old stained box to match the old style. I d love to have it would look good in my bug out bag with all mt survival gear.
That compressed air sprayer needs to get a Boba Fett helmet paint job, the dent, base color and the shape are so close! 🤣
Anything that gets Adam excited is great content
i also loooooooved HOMESTAR RUNNER. i think you guys snuck in a bonus fav.
Adam is such a wholesome guy. I feel so fortunate we get to watch him on his youtube channel. happy holidays adam.
Thank you for what you do. It’s amazing. I still watch saved Myth Busters because I think it was one of the most fun shows ever on TV. 🔪🎸
I now need the bucket to go with the numbered bags.
I love his face when he introduces the number 3 bag, looks down, has a moment to realize it's number 4, and then course corrects. Fantastic
Bambu is really killing it lately. Im saving up for one to replace my ender3 thats nothing but trouble
OMG... numbers on travel pouches. Brilliant.
OMG! We use a lot of those little plug-in work lights at my employer. Such good little lights.
