Not to curb your enthusiasm, but there's probably software for that. Simply recognize all spikes on the audio file and cut around that bit in the video file.
@@Eli-su6ql Video editor here. Yes there are, but most likely not the case here. I use that technique all the time. It doesn't really even take that much effort to make those cuts. But then again, its not about how much effort the effect takes, but the result.
I think the fact that everyone is surprised that you didn’t make a real one just shows how good this looks from a distance, we looked at the thumbnail and thought it was real.
Karma Cop that’s a ten point word there bud, and if you look at the other crazy things he’s made, making a true steel shipping container is definitely doable for him,
Having these videos on in the background while I’m working at home feels like hanging out with a friend while we’re each working on our own projects. The background noise of power tools, occasionally glancing at each other’s work and chatting. It helps a lot while being quarantined and working from home and feeling lonely in a quiet house. Thanks for keeping me sane, Adam!
and then he puts a mask on for spray paint...meanwhile he cuts things and stands on things with out a care in the world as to safety ....but the sweet smell of spray paint VOC that's to much - LOL - its less about what he builds and more about how he builds it - and me looking at things saying "oh that could end badly" only to realize - yeah I would probable do that in my shop as well! cheers -
New to these videos - I immediately had to look & see if anyone mentioned it! Laughed hard & thought how I would likely do the same thing. It becomes a challenge one must win!
@@vltruan Like a lot of his projects, he didn't think it through properly. Evidenced by the mistake in the construction, where he got the length wrong. We'll probably get a second ODB when he modifies it to make the storage more useable. I'd say adding the endcap and turning it into a top opening trunk would be the best use of the space.
@@maxximumb idk how much experience you have making things but adam is incredibly talented and experienced. Mistakes happen, why discredit his work by saying "like so many of his projects"?
What an awesome storage bench! Tip for the squeegy you had there to stop it from scratching a decal get some 1" masking tape wrap it around the blade end half inch on half off then you have a softer flap to lay the decal down with. This is how I put the decals on commercial aircraft and they can't be scratched or damaged. Keep up the good work I hope to have a workshop like yours soon 👌🇦🇺
Me a few months ago: "Wow! I can't believe Adam could hurt his hand like that! He looks like he's always super safe in these videos! At least he probably won't do anything dumb in the shop like that again!" Adam at 4:23: *Stands on a wobbly table saw to put an item on a shelf, even though there is a ladder less than three feet away* Never change Adam. Never change.
He was dumb for not using the ladder, but the table saw is far form wobbly. It is very well built and i would stand and jump on it all day with no fears.
@@eqz666 yeah, as much as i like his work, his woodworking practices are questionable, specially on the table saw. 5:25 cross cutting ply like that. coughing "because of the smoke", when hes probably breathing in a ton of fine dust from the saw... it scares me sometimes, specially given how many people watch this and learn from this.
I wish he had cut the second end sticker in half and made a barn door type thing so the end opened up like a real shipping container and he would still have access to the inside.
@@minermortal1997 a ring of 2x4 just inside the opening would give back the rigidity and make I nice place to store stuff. Carey could put her minigun in there.
I started watching this video about 3 hours ago and then my new monitor mount was delivered. In the process of setting it up, I accidentally ripped the cord of my speakers I have been using for about 10 years. So, I go and get the backup pair I have and I plug them in and start hearing this horrible buzzing noise. I at this point am very frustrated because the monitor mount was not the easiest to put together in the world and I am very tired. This leads me to be even more frustrated that I have no PC speakers to listen to this video on. I got so annoyed I got my wire strippers and some electrical tape and fixed the speaker I had ripped the wire of just to plug it in and have the sound persist! At this point, I had decided it was my computer and went for a full restart. I open my browser and pick the first video I see to test the audio and low and behold it works! I can finally go back and finish the tested video. To my surprise I start the video back up and what do I hear? The annoying buzzing noise again! I by this time finally realize the issue the whole time had been the audio in the video. I have to say that now looking back at myself twenty minutes ago gives me quite a laugh. I hope my tale leaves you laughing as well. Also, if Adam or anyone else on the tested crew sees this, thanks for the great videos recently (including this one).
What time in video was the buzzing? Glad it all worked out though? Had the same thing happen a few years back with a new iPhone, I was pissed, but turned out it was audio distortion in one of the videos, clicked next on the playlist and had the same issue. Turned out the last few new videos of the channel had audio/mic issues haha. I’ve learned to check Spotify or at least different channels when it comes to audio issues/testing haha
Young me couldn't even line up Stickers on LEGO, and here is Adam lining up huge Stickers like this. Fortunately now I know that Stickers on LEGOs are the worst anyway. :D
For a tabletop RPG you'd normally use 1:60 scale for the shipping container, so it would be 8" long. At that scale, you might make the corrugated side texture by peeling off one sheet of paper from a piece of cardboard to expose the ridges inside, inserting wooden skewers to reinforce the inner gaps with white glue. But that would be way too rough, since the scale texture of the ridges would be about 1/32" deep, but you'd do it so the miniature reads better on the table. You could definitely just have a flat surface with an impression of a texture from painting or a sticker.
21:02 that gave me massive amounts of nostalgia from when i was apprenticing as a carpenter. The mumbling of numbers followed by the smile was something i always saw in my teacher. That's the mark of a builder who's truly enjoying the project
There are 3 ways to do things, the right way (Jamie) the fast way (give the job to Tori) or the Savage way. The Savage way is just what it says in the dictionary, 'fierce, violent, and uncontrolled.' Adam couldn't have a more apt surname.
The quality on those stickers is so good I genuinely thought from the video thumbnail that you'd built an actual mini corrugated metal container. This was so cool!
“I’m going to cap one end making it 48 3/4.” *Proceeds to make it exactly 48”* I love that you’re never afraid to show your mistakes Adam. I’m a carpenter and still make mistakes like that all the time. Just gotta roll with it.
@@MrSupahlovah : lol... yep, me too. Agree with zackerylunde though, stuff happens and mistakes are learning. I was also immediately "Oh, 48 and 3/4 out of 3/4 ply, naturally he'll just make a 3/8 rabbet on each end and be done and super solid." followed by "OK, open ended and capped one end works too..." until that first test clamp up, oh oh, 3/4 short. I do like the usefulness achieved of open ended storage though, so full marks there, even if I'd have made the top a lid instead (bit more work).
I hear you lol It's easy to watch a video and yell at it "no no no no no" when in reality I have to measure 3 times and write it down, then measure again to make sure I wrote it right...
My dad was a hobbiest wood worker. Watching that glue running down the inside of that box would have made him go nuts. Even something as simple as a storage box ment days of careful planning, cutting, sanding and screwing. He was great at what he did. I told him once he was not building pianos and he said it doesnt matter, it might as well be. If you cannot take pride everything you do, then you shouldn't be doing it. He lived in a different time where nothing was thrown away and whatever you made reflected on you. His craftsmanship still stands out even though he is gone now. Many of the wooden boxes he made are still around or were bought during a clean out and marvled the man that made them. Many have been reperposed and will be used long after I am gone.
Adam, some advice on vinyl application from someone whose family has been doing it here in Toronto for over a decade: You can apply some masking tape to the beginning of your vinyl and tape it down after you line everything up (if it's rolled, make sure it's as straight as possible so it doesn't creep). Then you can flip the sheet so the backing is facing up, peel it off, and then stick it down. This method is better because then you don't have vinyl trying to stick itself down all the time, there's a lot more control. Also you can purchase a pick tool (literally just a sharp pointy end with an exacto blade handle) it's great to separate the vinyl from its backing. Hope this helps!
After all that talk about model making and seeing the thumbnail, I was really looking forward to watching how we made it so realistic and rusty. Still cool though.
I work with vinyl decals. That looks like 3M IJ40 with controltac, that is air egress material, meaning there's little micro channels in the adhesive for air to escape. So no air bubbles! Very cool technology. Curious to see how it will hold up on wood, it's a removable adhesive.
@@trentjensen96 I've seen a guy 3d print a die for an oil cap and stamp it with a car jack . If you need to corrugate a GI sheet it should be simple enough.
@@Lastburn And now I'm wondering if anyone's done that and is selling them as benches because I want a small metal shipping container in my house as a bench.
Great to see you're well Adam. Lovely to hear an American use metric tape measure inciments. You can also use a spray bottle with water and dish soap to float the vinyl wrap onto the surface and slide it into position then squeegee out the air and water mix
That apron is still so cool, even after watching Adam make it... Now I want a custom made one too... 😁 Also, I wish Adam had put little mini doors on the shipping container.
Adam, please please PLEASE use the riving knife in your saw. As a cabinetmaker and furniture designer I can tell you it's the single most important piece that no one talks about on a saw. Using it will save your fingers and keep any pieces from kicking back at you. Also, it's safer and better for the saw blade if the blade is raised a 1/2 to 3/4" above the material for the same reason, it's much harder for the blade to grab and send it back to you. It also reduces the wear on the blade as it's travelling through less material to make the cut. I love love these one day builds, but please be safe!
Also, a more correct usage of the term than what is often the case, seeing as it originated from a song about someone with an unhealthy obsession with a musical artist.
I really appreciate how you have decided to continue to put content out during quarantine while also following the quarantine recommendations. I'm sure that has been a bit harder than the way it was done before. You guys are doing great things!
Curiosityness I’m gob smacked. And not very photogenic. I’d like to discuss it further. But I did follow in his foot steps as a truck driver. I’m told he was upset with waiting at ports for freight to be off loaded and prepared to be trucked inland. This led to his tinkering and planning.
Adam: Builds amazing shipping container bench with lots of prepping and attention to detail. Also Adam: Keeps throwing thing on shelf and having it fall down so he doesn't have to climb the ladder 😂 This resonates with me lol Super cool build, love the MB nostalgia
Adam!! I was dying when you were trying to make the 48 3/4 length work out!!! that obviously is 48 inch sides with the 3/4 ends with a 3/8 rabbit on the edges!! thats how you would joint them!! sorry, I'm still stuck at 3:36... continuing now...You are the Man!! I'm sure you worked it out!
Adam Savage is so relentlessly entertaining. I was using these videos mostly as something to watch before bed since it's so peaceful, but I've begun to be fascinated by it all.
That's what I thought he was going to do until he said he was leaving one end open. ThenI watched him build it. Then when he reacted like he made a mistake I thought he'd realized that he had stapled it together wrong.
Mihai Anton he’s doing what makes him happy and providing us content while he’s at it. If he wants to build a wooden shipping container, he can. If he wants to build a sword, he can. Just because he built a wooden shipping container today doesn’t mean he’s done making other “cool” stuff.
Adam, love your channel! My father, a carpenter, always taught me, when cutting wood, on the table saw, raise the sawblade to one tooth above the material. You where cutting it close ;) One love.
I think this is kewl as hell. I dunno why I love this aesthetic but I do. They are even making these containers into pools nowadays. I would love to make something like this a toy box or something for kids or a storage bench.
It’s so cool watching this dude as a young kid growing up then randomly seeing him pop up in popularity again on TH-cam which I feel like now days especially is as big if not bigger than cable tv now days
That's exactly what I was thinking. I guess I don't have the right mindset to be all gaga over some decals the way everyone else in the comment section is.
Right? When I saw the thumbnail I was like "Oh I wonder how he's going to bend the metal like that... and make the end closure lock bars.. and age/weather it perfectly to look all rusty on the corners like that." The stickers are pretty realistic tho.
I totally understand the allure of shipping containers the big industrial aesthetic i stay 30 minutes away from a shipping port that’s been in service since 1967 and still in operation today bringing in trade from all over the world
They likely have a 'sound gate' on which means it only records/plays audio after a certain loudness threshold (i.e. when Adam Speaks). The actual source of the vibration is likely just some fan or something in the workshop.
That thing looks so real from far away! :D I'm not an artsy-craftsy, all-patient kind of guy, but man...if that project didn't didn't stir up a desire in me. It came out beautiful, and that's weird, because shipping containers are not exactly beautiful!
This was fun for me personally. Mainly because I do plan on building my future home out of containers. Been dreaming about this for years. Here in the States you just don't see them. And I'm willing to take the pros way over the cons because it's all worth it to me. This bench would be something great in the garage or wherever else. Because I'm now thinking do this project with photos of the actual house. Great stuff!!!
I'm shocked some people thought you could build a 1/8 scale metal shipping container in one day. Very cool bench my man. I also enjoyed seeing the down side to having worked on so many advanced projects. That extra 3/4 of an inch really messed with your head. Even when I thought you had it figured out, you didn't. Sweet bench!
That apron you made looks really comfortable. I've never been able to make clothing but I can't tell you how much I appreciate clothing that fits properly.
The last thing I expected Adam to say when he said "I bet you're wondering what I'm listening to..." was "Billie Eyelash".. threw me of guard, but thats so rad at the same time.
Little tip on decals. Use a little dishwashing soap and water foam. That way the stickers won’t stick right away and you can easily squeegee the bubbles out. Start from the middle and work outwards. Use a little soap on to too to help the squeegee slide so you don’t scratch the print.
Total side bar but as an Australian I hear: Metric: 1,10,100 everything is simple ....a 55 mm cut etc. Imperial: 54 and eleventy sixteenth quantums....gibberish.
Nah it's super simple. You just devide it by 8, multiply it by 2.57 and then divide it by 13. At that point you measure how large the moon is in the sky, multiply that by the size of your foot and add that to the other value and you are all done. Simple!
I used to have a 1993 Pontiac Sunbird that was put together with a seemingly-random mixture of metric and imperial nuts and bolts. I had to buy an extra socket set just to change its brake pads; the brake calipers were bolted on with metric bolts, but the brake hose clamps were bolted on with imperial bolts, and the last thing I wanted to do was round off the corners of rusty brake bolts with wrong-sized sockets. As a rational American (yes, we do exist), I wish we'd hurry up and ditch Ye Olde units based on the size of long-dead monarchs' body parts.
I used to work in a vinyl shop, and one of the tricks I was shown, for applying vinyl, is to use a bit of dish soap in a spritz bottle. its helps with being able to adjust your work
Mike K I think it's a gate they have on the mic. Cuts out the background noise when he's not talking but when it opens the background noise comes through. They should just leave the gate off, a little shop noise never hurt anyone. And it's better than the pulsing of the gate opening and closing.
LOL I thought the fan in my bathroom was doing something crazy while watching on my phone. The second I turn it off, it's gone. I totally tried turning the fan off and knocking on it first 😅
Please make a mini container chassis to put it on instead of the casters. You could still move it easily then and it would look amazing. Also I need the plans.
One of the reasons I liked this is that it was something I could use and it was something I could make using the limited tools I have available which consists of a circular saw, drill, brad nailer, and sander.
There is some audio issue, a pretty strong ringing at 360 Hz, you might want to check what's up with the audio. Other than that, great work and entertainment, as always!
i wont lie, when i first saw the title i thought he would be making a real tiny container with working doors and weathering it himself, but this was still very enjoyable thank you adam c:
Followed by wondering what material he used for the siding. My mind was thinking tin roofing sheet metal, but the spacing wouldn't be right.. some kind of corrugated steel? But no... Stickers :(
Yup, I clicked on the video to possibly see some cool metal working and got disappointed when he pulled out the stickers. Cool and realistic stickers tho, but my expetations were way higher.
If you have to roll up posters and stickers or any artwork, put a spacing sheet (tissue or vellum scrap, etc.) on top and roll to the artwork on the outside of the roll. It’s so much easier to lay an outside rolled item out flat.

I dont think I have ever lined up a sticker properly on Lego. Even on the kit I built last week.

It would be even better if it was a 20" shipping container.
For a tabletop RPG you'd normally use 1:60 scale for the shipping container, so it would be 8" long. At that scale, you might make the corrugated side texture by peeling off one sheet of paper from a piece of cardboard to expose the ridges inside, inserting wooden skewers to reinforce the inner gaps with white glue. But that would be way too rough, since the scale texture of the ridges would be about 1/32" deep, but you'd do it so the miniature reads better on the table. You could definitely just have a flat surface with an impression of a texture from painting or a sticker.
3:57 - Has a tool for every job but refuses to use the ladder for this simple task. 🤣
A ladder which is so nearby to where he is trying to place things, it's literally already setup in the correct position.
Came to make same observation comment haha!!
stars, they’re just like us 💫
@@spacetree5808 Especially Adam. And that's why I like him so much :D
Yes same thought. It’s already set up. Just use it. Jeez.
21:02 that gave me massive amounts of nostalgia from when i was apprenticing as a carpenter. The mumbling of numbers followed by the smile was something i always saw in my teacher. That's the mark of a builder who's truly enjoying the project
3:55 literally a lader right there. Throws the thing. This is why Adam is my spirit animal
Then proceeds to stand on the table saw (which is right next to the ladder) to put the other thing back
I died laughing
There are 3 ways to do things, the right way (Jamie) the fast way (give the job to Tori) or the Savage way. The Savage way is just what it says in the dictionary, 'fierce, violent, and uncontrolled.' Adam couldn't have a more apt surname.
totally agree with this and its replies, but also love the overall tool workers shorts over the jeans
@@KnowledgePerformance7 No, you didn't
You need to make a set of these now and stack them.
In different colours if possible.
The quality on those stickers is so good I genuinely thought from the video thumbnail that you'd built an actual mini corrugated metal container. This was so cool!
“I’m going to cap one end making it 48 3/4.”
*Proceeds to make it exactly 48”*
I love that you’re never afraid to show your mistakes Adam. I’m a carpenter and still make mistakes like that all the time. Just gotta roll with it.
When he clamped the cap inside, before he started gluing, I said "Oh noooooo!" to my monitor.
@@MrSupahlovah : lol... yep, me too. Agree with zackerylunde though, stuff happens and mistakes are learning. I was also immediately "Oh, 48 and 3/4 out of 3/4 ply, naturally he'll just make a 3/8 rabbet on each end and be done and super solid." followed by "OK, open ended and capped one end works too..." until that first test clamp up, oh oh, 3/4 short.
I do like the usefulness achieved of open ended storage though, so full marks there, even if I'd have made the top a lid instead (bit more work).
@@MrSupahlovah how did he do that pen trick? 1:43
I hear you lol
It's easy to watch a video and yell at it "no no no no no" when in reality I have to measure 3 times and write it down, then measure again to make sure I wrote it right...
@@Xktree72 Back to that classic of crossing off that sides you want cut, simple things but you can easily forget them.
The shipping crate looks so good in the thumbnail it literally looks like you shrunk a shipping container
@belly tripper A flux capacitor's great for time jumps, not size changes. Surely you meant the Szalinski shrinking machine.
My dad was a hobbiest wood worker. Watching that glue running down the inside of that box would have made him go nuts. Even something as simple as a storage box ment days of careful planning, cutting, sanding and screwing. He was great at what he did. I told him once he was not building pianos and he said it doesnt matter, it might as well be. If you cannot take pride everything you do, then you shouldn't be doing it. He lived in a different time where nothing was thrown away and whatever you made reflected on you. His craftsmanship still stands out even though he is gone now. Many of the wooden boxes he made are still around or were bought during a clean out and marvled the man that made them. Many have been reperposed and will be used long after I am gone.
Adam, some advice on vinyl application from someone whose family has been doing it here in Toronto for over a decade:
You can apply some masking tape to the beginning of your vinyl and tape it down after you line everything up (if it's rolled, make sure it's as straight as possible so it doesn't creep). Then you can flip the sheet so the backing is facing up, peel it off, and then stick it down. This method is better because then you don't have vinyl trying to stick itself down all the time, there's a lot more control. Also you can purchase a pick tool (literally just a sharp pointy end with an exacto blade handle) it's great to separate the vinyl from its backing. Hope this helps!
That is possibly the best pro tip I've ever accidentally come across. And so simple!
Do you also use the soapy water trick for things like decals on glass and smooth surfaces.
After all that talk about model making and seeing the thumbnail, I was really looking forward to watching how we made it so realistic and rusty. Still cool though.
Yeah, I was hoping for a nice weathered model. This is fun, but I like weathering...
Was thinking the same thing ... A bit deceived when a saw the decals hehe
I work with vinyl decals. That looks like 3M IJ40 with controltac, that is air egress material, meaning there's little micro channels in the adhesive for air to escape. So no air bubbles! Very cool technology. Curious to see how it will hold up on wood, it's a removable adhesive.
I'm surprised Adam didn't use the drawing for measurements and make a replica from steel or aluminum and ditch the stickers.
If you had a sheetmetal press you could build a die for it. That's be neat.
@@trentjensen96 I've seen a guy 3d print a die for an oil cap and stamp it with a car jack . If you need to corrugate a GI sheet it should be simple enough.
@@Lastburn And now I'm wondering if anyone's done that and is selling them as benches because I want a small metal shipping container in my house as a bench.
This is what we need
@@trentjensen96 true, could do it in a bender as well.
6:00 Ummm... wasn't the plan to make a 3/4" end cap?
20:20 Yep, that was the original plan.
Really wish he made a nice end cap would have brought the whole thing together nicely
"Every movie in which someone says that.... they're about to be found out." Yep 😂
I noticed instantly too.
Adam is a great builder. But I often question is planning skills.
I saw that he used the extra 3/4” to cover the edge of the wood so I guess it worked out in the end lol
I appreciate how you are willing to show your mistakes, such as with the length of the graphic versus the box
The look on Adams face when he realized the end being inside instead of on the end of the box was priceless
I love how Adam can get so much joy from
Something as simple as some wood and stickers lol. It’s just so wholesome.
i mean i would be, storage containers are amaqzing, i plan to build a home with a few. im only 20 also..
Great to see you're well Adam. Lovely to hear an American use metric tape measure inciments.
You can also use a spray bottle with water and dish soap to float the vinyl wrap onto the surface and slide it into position then squeegee out the air and water mix
The thumbnail looks like it’s one of those weird perspective illusions, and it’s so trippy.
That apron is still so cool, even after watching Adam make it... Now I want a custom made one too... 😁
Also, I wish Adam had put little mini doors on the shipping container.
I feel like Adam is going to run up some canvas dungarees as some point as that is essentially what he's made.
Adam, please please PLEASE use the riving knife in your saw. As a cabinetmaker and furniture designer I can tell you it's the single most important piece that no one talks about on a saw. Using it will save your fingers and keep any pieces from kicking back at you. Also, it's safer and better for the saw blade if the blade is raised a 1/2 to 3/4" above the material for the same reason, it's much harder for the blade to grab and send it back to you. It also reduces the wear on the blade as it's travelling through less material to make the cut. I love love these one day builds, but please be safe!
Adam Savage: ".. Awesome, I Stan them" 14:06 .
Never thought I would hear the words stan be uttered from adams mouth
Also, a more correct usage of the term than what is often the case, seeing as it originated from a song about someone with an unhealthy obsession with a musical artist.
Wow. Never knew I wanted a mini shipping container until I saw how amazing they look when they are mini.
You can get 1:20 scale containers pretty easily, and they open up.
I really appreciate how you have decided to continue to put content out during quarantine while also following the quarantine recommendations. I'm sure that has been a bit harder than the way it was done before. You guys are doing great things!
My relative invented the International Shipping Container!!!!!
Conex Boxes where developed by Malcomb McLean.
That’s incredible! Would you wanna be a guest on my podcast to share the story and talk about the invention and Malcolm??
Curiosityness
I’m gob smacked. And not very photogenic. I’d like to discuss it further.
But I did follow in his foot steps as a truck driver.
I’m told he was upset with waiting at ports for freight to be off loaded and prepared to be trucked inland.
This led to his tinkering and planning.
Adam: Builds amazing shipping container bench with lots of prepping and attention to detail.
Also Adam: Keeps throwing thing on shelf and having it fall down so he doesn't have to climb the ladder 😂
This resonates with me lol Super cool build, love the MB nostalgia
Adam!! I was dying when you were trying to make the 48 3/4 length work out!!! that obviously is 48 inch sides with the 3/4 ends with a 3/8 rabbit on the edges!! thats how you would joint them!! sorry, I'm still stuck at 3:36... continuing now...You are the Man!! I'm sure you worked it out!
I love just watching one of the greatest man to walk on this planet just having fun building random stuff, while entertaining
2 minutes of building, 23 minutes of Adam trying to put something on a shelf lol
With a ladder only feet away.
and it was yet cut, who knows how much time he really needed for that :D
I mean, it's our video, but we still laughed watching it. And then re-watching it. And then ... rewatching it again.
I love that he committed to throwing it up with the ladder beside him 😂. It is exactly what i would do 😂
Standing on the table to finish the job was the cherry on top. Also great use of the color bar cut. Had me rolling
Adam Savage is so relentlessly entertaining. I was using these videos mostly as something to watch before bed since it's so peaceful, but I've begun to be fascinated by it all.
2:56 - Or cap one end on the outside and the other on the inside. Voilá, exactly the correct length.
That's what I thought he was going to do until he said he was leaving one end open. ThenI watched him build it. Then when he reacted like he made a mistake I thought he'd realized that he had stapled it together wrong.
Edit it, he did notice it at the very end
I think the idea is that one end goes inside for strength and the other end goes on the outside so you can make doors.
@@jaecenwhite2590 I was also surprised he didn't make an internal frame for strength. At the very least 2 squares of 2x2 at each end
Coming from a background of “live steam railroading” I was expecting him to literally build a 1/8th scale container.
I was too and now im disappointed
He went from cool projects (building swords, machines, etc.) to applying stickers on wooden boxes... Disappointing!
Same here... 😏
Mihai Anton he’s doing what makes him happy and providing us content while he’s at it. If he wants to build a wooden shipping container, he can. If he wants to build a sword, he can. Just because he built a wooden shipping container today doesn’t mean he’s done making other “cool” stuff.
@@steverossen2816 Agreed. I still enjoyed the video nonetheless
Adam, love your channel! My father, a carpenter, always taught me, when cutting wood, on the table saw, raise the sawblade to one tooth above the material. You where cutting it close ;) One love.
adam is truly that dad that you would find at the family party in the shop humming to himself. like a happier version of rick
I think this is kewl as hell. I dunno why I love this aesthetic but I do. They are even making these containers into pools nowadays. I would love to make something like this a toy box or something for kids or a storage bench.
I'm guessing this is how Adam Savage contains his excitement?
Get out 😂
Boo.
Excelent! A simple Sitting 'Container' Bench, with a lot of storage. Now, grab a clear packing tape roll and cover all corners. Thank me later.
It’s so cool watching this dude as a young kid growing up then randomly seeing him pop up in popularity again on TH-cam which I feel like now days especially is as big if not bigger than cable tv now days
Awww man it’s just a box with a sticker. I was hoping it was going to be out of sheet metal
we got clickbaited. but it's adam, so it's cool.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I guess I don't have the right mindset to be all gaga over some decals the way everyone else in the comment section is.
Right? When I saw the thumbnail I was like "Oh I wonder how he's going to bend the metal like that... and make the end closure lock bars.. and age/weather it perfectly to look all rusty on the corners like that." The stickers are pretty realistic tho.
Same here. That build would really have been something to witness.
"Just a box with a sticker". Ok, let's see YOUR build.
Definitely add a “bulletproof glass” window as a throwback to the bunkers 👌
I totally understand the allure of shipping containers the big industrial aesthetic i stay 30 minutes away from a shipping port that’s been in service since 1967 and still in operation today bringing in trade from all over the world
"I'm always interested in some extra storage. " Such an Adam Savage quote
Why is the sound "vibrating" like someone is playing on a glass of water around 13:00 and forward
Gate on the mic
They likely have a 'sound gate' on which means it only records/plays audio after a certain loudness threshold (i.e. when Adam Speaks). The actual source of the vibration is likely just some fan or something in the workshop.
I have tinnitus and i thought it was fairing up until I paused the video. Its really unpleasant
a prominent 357 Hz ring is like a .357 Magnum to the ears.
Yeah, just a distant "woob woob woob wooob".
Adam Savage, the coolest builder and engineer in the world, who also stans Bille Elish, he is just the best!
Imagine using a miniature shopping container as a basking spot for a large reptile like an iguana. It'd look like Godzilla.
Or an outdoor pond with some turtles. I think it's look really cool.
That thing looks so real from far away! :D I'm not an artsy-craftsy, all-patient kind of guy, but man...if that project didn't didn't stir up a desire in me. It came out beautiful, and that's weird, because shipping containers are not exactly beautiful!
This was fun for me personally. Mainly because I do plan on building my future home out of containers. Been dreaming about this for years. Here in the States you just don't see them. And I'm willing to take the pros way over the cons because it's all worth it to me.
This bench would be something great in the garage or wherever else. Because I'm now thinking do this project with photos of the actual house. Great stuff!!!
Looks like it would make for a great piece of furniture in a children's room.
A fun build... I needed that. Yes, I love useful storage builds, but I NEED fun useful builds at this odd time.
I'm shocked some people thought you could build a 1/8 scale metal shipping container in one day. Very cool bench my man. I also enjoyed seeing the down side to having worked on so many advanced projects. That extra 3/4 of an inch really messed with your head. Even when I thought you had it figured out, you didn't. Sweet bench!
"I'm building a mini container!"
"It's stickers, why not"
Love the spirit
This made me so happy :) My friends look at my funny when I start getting excited about shipping containers 😂
That apron you made looks really comfortable. I've never been able to make clothing but I can't tell you how much I appreciate clothing that fits properly.
The last thing I expected Adam to say when he said "I bet you're wondering what I'm listening to..." was "Billie Eyelash".. threw me of guard, but thats so rad at the same time.
William Eyelash.
He also said "I stan them" which I had to rewind to make sure I heard it. Lmao
I was expecting an audible sponsor spot tbh. I literally, out loud said, "Aaaand Audible." Was thoroughly dissatisfaction lmao
Is anyone else getting audio feedback whenever Adam speaks this episode.
It's cross feed coms from the Cylon attack.
Lost Danimal yeah I noticed that too
Yep, quite annoying really.
Yes. Super weird (and annoying)
I was looking in the comments for a while to see if anyone had the same
Ahh a big wooden box with a giant blue sticker attached on all sides.. life goals!
“The humble truck container is a magnificent and impressive feat of engineering”
The History Guy- “and it deserves to be remembered”
I had the exact same thought when he said that.
MrSuredegree I’m so glad I’m not alone. 😂
If he would’ve said “and it deserves to be remembered” I would’ve lost my shit lol
The History Guy is one of my most watched TH-cam channels
Dude I read this comment as he said it
4:18 PERFECTLY CUT SCREAM
Little tip on decals. Use a little dishwashing soap and water foam. That way the stickers won’t stick right away and you can easily squeegee the bubbles out. Start from the middle and work outwards. Use a little soap on to too to help the squeegee slide so you don’t scratch the print.
Total side bar but as an Australian I hear:
Metric: 1,10,100 everything is simple ....a 55 mm cut etc.
Imperial: 54 and eleventy sixteenth quantums....gibberish.
Agree, I'm in the U.S but use Metric it's so much easier.
Nah it's super simple. You just devide it by 8, multiply it by 2.57 and then divide it by 13. At that point you measure how large the moon is in the sky, multiply that by the size of your foot and add that to the other value and you are all done. Simple!
I used to have a 1993 Pontiac Sunbird that was put together with a seemingly-random mixture of metric and imperial nuts and bolts. I had to buy an extra socket set just to change its brake pads; the brake calipers were bolted on with metric bolts, but the brake hose clamps were bolted on with imperial bolts, and the last thing I wanted to do was round off the corners of rusty brake bolts with wrong-sized sockets. As a rational American (yes, we do exist), I wish we'd hurry up and ditch Ye Olde units based on the size of long-dead monarchs' body parts.
All the metric snobs come out of the woodwork. We in the US can use both, the rest of the world refuses to see that.
@@KipdoesStuff A lot of commonwealth countries still use both metric and imperial units.
I laughed out loud at the blue plastic thing falling in Adam's head and the sudden test pattern cut 😂😂😂 awesome editing
I used to work in a vinyl shop, and one of the tricks I was shown, for applying vinyl, is to use a bit of dish soap in a spritz bottle. its helps with being able to adjust your work
Adam there's a tuning fork sound every time you talk might want to investigate that.
Mike K I think it's a gate they have on the mic. Cuts out the background noise when he's not talking but when it opens the background noise comes through. They should just leave the gate off, a little shop noise never hurt anyone. And it's better than the pulsing of the gate opening and closing.
It's very distracting
Yeah, it's approximately 730 hz. Pretty annoying.
LOL I thought the fan in my bathroom was doing something crazy while watching on my phone. The second I turn it off, it's gone. I totally tried turning the fan off and knocking on it first 😅
Came to the comments just to see if it wasn't just me.
Please make a mini container chassis to put it on instead of the casters. You could still move it easily then and it would look amazing.
Also I need the plans.
Well at that point you might as well drive it around with a to scale peterbuilt
True, you could just modify a cheap Harbor Freight dolly/hand truck into a mini chassis. That would be hilarious.
Better yet, build a remote-controlled scale straddle carrier!
Why not go the whole hog and create a cargo ship with several miniature shipping containers built to scale out of metal parts.
@@BallardB more importantly: the overhead crane :-)
You wouldn’t think I’d be interesting but that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
The Adam Savage I know would have ditched the stickers and made a replica made from steel.
Adam: Glues wood
Me: Hehe he loves wood glue.
Adam (5 seconds later): I love me some wood glue
One of the reasons I liked this is that it was something I could use and it was something I could make using the limited tools I have available which consists of a circular saw, drill, brad nailer, and sander.
I wish he would have put a link to where he got the decals. This was a pretty cool build.
I searched for a bit but came up empty. I would really like to build one of these for my kids room.
Same! Where can I find this kit?

The way he talked it sounded like they were a gift from someone.
Should be able to get them printed at any sign shop.
There is some audio issue, a pretty strong ringing at 360 Hz, you might want to check what's up with the audio. Other than that, great work and entertainment, as always!

thank you adam c:
Awww, I was excited for this until I realized they were just stickers.
mntngr346 same.
Ditto. From the thumbnail my first thought was "that's insanely detailed even by his standards"
Followed by wondering what material he used for the siding. My mind was thinking tin roofing sheet metal, but the spacing wouldn't be right.. some kind of corrugated steel? But no... Stickers :(
Yup, I clicked on the video to possibly see some cool metal working and got disappointed when he pulled out the stickers. Cool and realistic stickers tho, but my expetations were way higher.
same here
It's the toy every kid wants. "Thanks mom, now I can replicate international commerce!"
4:16 This is one of greatest cuts ever.. Love it.

Could be done with sheetmetal pretty easily. I could build one in a day with locks bars and all

If you have to roll up posters and stickers or any artwork, put a spacing sheet (tissue or vellum scrap, etc.) on top and roll to the artwork on the outside of the roll. It’s so much easier to lay an outside rolled item out flat.
“It’s a major award” “Fragile” “Must be Italian”
When he said it’s beautiful it made me think of these quotes from A Christmas Story idk why 😂😂
when he said "Irwin Tools"! I thought "It's a crummy commercial????"
Now you just need to add a big drawer that slides out of your "container" and use that other sticker on the drawer front!
I just love how proud Mr. Savage is of his builds, as he should be! They always turn out really awesome.
Adam has convinced me that how I talk to myself while working on a project is normal 😅
