Adam recently made a replica of the royal crown featured in the musical Hamilton and the show 'The Crown'--most famously the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. And upon finishing that build, Adam wanted to immediately try making it again using everything he learned in his first attempt. What follows is a rare One Day Build revisited where the second replica may look like the original at a glance, but done using new construction methods and finishing techniques that makes it so much better!

He used a time machine
Saint Edward's Crown
Hey what happened with the velociraptor build? Never saw the end of the build and the videos have been taken down??
So smart of you to have a ruler tattooed to your arm, That’s great for a working man!
Heads up: The uncured resin in a lot of these types of 3D printers is caustic. Definitely cure it before you handle it without gloves.
I love the irony that in 2021 Adam is using aluminum and finishing techniques as an inexpensive way to re-create the gold that the real St. Edwards Crown uses to indicate wealth yet in 1661, using aluminum to make a crown would have been an even more impossible display of wealth.
Considering aluminium wasn't isolated until 1825, it wasn't really a matter of wealth, it was a matter of needing a time machine. Once industrial refinement got going (in the late 1850s), its price dropped below gold pretty quickly.
@@RFC-3514 That's probably why he said "impossible display of wealth"
@@acorgiwithacrown467 - My point is it wouldn't be an impossible display *of wealth,* just an impossible display.
@@nodwick4231 - No, it wouldn't have been "possible but costly", because _no one knew it existed._
Native aluminium has only been found in trace amounts in very obscure locations (ex., in a volcano, in deep-drill cores under the sea), and no one knows how it was formed (the most popular theory seems to be it was "refined" by microbes). Even in those places, it's usually just tiny specks of aluminium, encased in different metals.
Even if they had come across any (which is unlikely), no one in 1661 would have been able to identify it as a separate metal, let alone know how to produce or obtain enough to make a crown.
I suggest reading "Characteristics and possible origin of native aluminum" (by Zhong Chen, et al.) and "Native aluminum: does it exist?" (by Vesselin Dekov, et al.).
And if you do know anything about aluminium being formed by striking bauxite with lightning, I suggest publishing it.
The crown is more symbol than wealth imo. It's 5 pounds of gold and jewels most of which are easily obtainable. It can be easily duplicated by most of the top 1% or probably top 20%. Food for thought. Also the monarchy the crown represents technically has no formal power now. The royals are justified these days because they generate an economy. In my opinion probably the real symbol of power.
I love how he just uses his ruler tattoo to measure. I was so confused when he started using it
That why he got it lol
question is, how much will his stretching skin with age change the accuracy of the ruler? he just had that episode on how important accuracy was lol
@@telenelatelin8632 his tattoo is more for roughing , and for making sure that piece of scrap your going to use is actually large enough
@@Dreddy72 I figured, Im being cheeky :)
How did I not know that he had a ruler tat?
1:07:00 "We are just finite little specks of carbon, and we don't matter. And I think that we do a lot of this stuff to kinda bulwark ourselves against that constant realization... OOOOH! Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!" - Adam Savage, 2021
This was the exact moment I hit Like, lol
I just came here to make sure this comment was present, or put it here myself.
Such a great edit/quote! I have to print it :D
@@OrigamiMarie Me too!
Frrr I was like there has to be a comment about this cuz damn just kinda hit hard
Your "brute force drawing" is an excellent method for learning to draw for real. There are actually teachers out there who recommend it, and there's a tool called a proportional divider that allows you to do just that, but on a different (fixed) scale. This is all to say, that's exactly the way you SHOULD have approached making a fairly faithful recreation, from an artistic perspective.
Every time I see Adam go to yet another one of his many machines, I always think of that line from the Batman movie: "Where does he get all those wonderful toys?"
1 hour and 46 minutes. Holy guacamole, this is literally a movie.
wait for the snyder cut version
Better than many movies.
And they still left out some of the time lapses!
Possibke titles:
1. Adams jewels include 275 balls or 2. Adam goldleafs his balls for his jewels.
@@fredygump5578 sheesh, 🙄 your taking it way too seriuosly. None of us did that
When you get to one hour into a build video, and Adam Savage drops some deep reflection on motivations for mortal toil... bro, you caught me off guard, but hit me deep
"I have all the balls I need with at least 6 or 7 inches ..."
I can see why Adam chose to re-phrase it to modelling detail.
😂
6 inches??! That's royalty indeed!
@@MSI2k Um, actually that's one above average... Oh the crown!
Working out how much silicone to use: And example of why the metric system is easier. Work it out in centimeters, each cm3 weighs 1g. Done... easy life.
I was going to say that too! Totally trivial and no Alexa required. Cubic centimetres, millilitres and grams all the same for water. But yeah Adam loves his imperial. I get the impression he likes to 'feel' his way through a problem and those units are clearly what he's used to (even if they aren't always helpful).
Also. You don't need weight you only need volume. 1.25x4x4 inches are 3.175x10x10 cm which is 317.5 cubic centimetres, 0.3175 liter.
For water....
@@patricksanders858 1 liter of water is 1kg but 1 liter of another material will weigh differently, but on liter of water occupies the same space as 1 liter of anything else because it's a volumetric measure.
@@franciscoarteiro8893 1 cubic inch = 16.4 cc. Easy.
Something interesting is that until just over 100 years ago, the gems were not a permanent part of the crown. Whenever the crown was needed for a coronation, a set of gems were acquired, set on the crown, and then after used they were removed to be used elsewhere.
Edit: link to wikipedia section discussing this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Edward%27s_Crown#20th_century_to_present_day (also if you scroll up there is an engraving of how it was set with gems in the 17th century which looks very different from how it looks today)
I believe that the larger stones were removed again during WW2 and hidden inside a biscuit tin, so they dould be more easily smuggled out and hidden in case of a German invasion.
@@commando552 Imagine the disappointment thinking you've stolen a whole tin of biscuits, but instead it's just the crown jewels.
Thank you for the info, I never knew!
@@commando552 biscuit tins - used by little old ladies to stash their trinkets for centuries.

To the team that created the algorithm for channel suggestions, thank you so much!
Welcome! You're in for a treat!
I would honestly covet a book choc-full of Adam's musings and thoughts on any/all subjects.... He has such a great outlook on so many topics
This is the book. Tested is adamns biggest gift to the world. I learn more from him then any maker book I've read.
@@TRIGRhap_ yeah, you're right.... And probably way more honest and true because its said in the moment, rather than edited for a book
He did write a book, Every Tool's a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It. I enjoyed it.
The ruler tattoo is like.... the coolest and smartest idea ever
For most people, it is a terrible idea. Adam is a special case in that regard. Skin changes over time, so it would never be accurate. Fortunately, Adam's use case isn't about accuracy, it's about a rough estimate. He doesn't need the accuracy because he has years of experience to go off of. He just needs a quick sense of size. He also got it quite late in life, if he had gotten it when he was younger it would be worthless, probably not even good for estimates.
As somebody who is a huge fan of tattoos, and is extremely picky when it comes to the design of tattoos… After years of watching Adam, this is the first time I’ve actually noticed his tattoo? And I’ll be honest… At first, I absolutely hated it!! But after a while of watching this video and seeing him use his tattoo to help with his builds, it’s absolutely perfect for him!! And I completely understand why he chose to get a tattoo like this.. Even though I would never ever ever get a tattoo like this myself, or like it on anyone else. For Adam (or people who do similar work/hobbies as he does) it’s an absolutely amazing idea, as he will be constantly measuring things for his build wont he? And I’m sure that he can never find a ruler if/when he needs one. So to have a ruler on your arm/skin, it’s perfect!!☺️
I legit love it. Would love to have it myself
the ruler tattoo rules
Next tattoo: slide rule
“The effort is the prize.” That was our saying when I marched drum corps. It kept us grounded in knowing finals week wasn’t the actual reward. All the countless hours of immense hard work put in to rehearsals was. And that’s where all my favorite memories are from 😊
I love the idea of ‘building to learn’.
The first attempt at building something isn’t always perfect, and that’s okay.
That’s how we learn.
"So no one told you life was gonna be this way": 50:17

“Your job’s a joke, you’re broke
Your love life’s DOA!”
"when parameters change, double-check everything" is an amazing philosophy 👏👏👏
The talk about the time one spends on something made for someone being the gift was so beautifully said. I’m not at all religious but I’ve always been in awe of the art that has come out of religion and that was a perfect way to explain why. Actually, that whole talk while the filigree was being colored was a really nice meditation on devotion and the weirdness that is existence.
I definitely didn’t come to this video for that, but I’m sure glad I got it!
As for figuring out how much silicone to use for a mold: I simply fill the mold with dry rice and then pour that into a measuring cup. Then I have the volume of the mold without any thinking needed.
Ohhh I like this, I was thinking fill it with water but I dont want the mold to be wet
of if you don't have rice on you but you have the volumetric markings on the beaker, and a ruler, use the metric system 1cm^3 is 1mL

Hey Adam, there is this stuff called solder paste that you can use to do what you were doing with the jewels. You can also, if all of the material can take a little heat, stick everything together with the solder paste and dots of super glue and then place all of it in a toaster oven. You then can heat the parts on one side or both until the soldier paste melts. The superglue lets go about the same temp as the soldier paste taking hold.
The taoster oven can never be used for food again after this, but they can be useful for tempering small steel parts or annealing copper alloys.
I love that Adam referred to this as a helmet inadvertently - it fits in with his love of headwear!
I can't even imagine all the work that went into making the real crown with actual expensive jewels. What a masterpiece of craftsmanship that was. An almost insane attention to tiny details.
A thought on Adam's paint overspray challenge from one of the recent videos -- consider building a box that has one side open sized so you can fit a couple of Filtrete filters in it. Out the other side add a connector you can attach this to your dust system. When you paint, attach this to your dust system, aim it where you're painting and turn it on. it'll suck in most of the overspray and lodge it into the filtrete's and eject the rest of the air out of the shop... Without needing a permit for a formal spray hood area.
A lot of people make one out of a bathroom fan.
@@requited2568 also an option but assuming the dust collector exhausts outside, it’ll clean the shop air a bit more
Now Just need to make sure you don't have solvent soaked dust and resin particles confined in tubes :P
Nop, you dont want all that spray going into the dust system, most of the sawdust is recyclable, either to the pet shops or compost, you dont want all those chemicals mixing up with that
@@requited2568 bad idea to mix paint fumes with an open electric motor. Get a sealed hvac motor instead.
We need a "One Day Builds" playlist :D these are to good to watch.. learning a lot while enjoying the process of Adam working his way into a complete build.
*brooding existential musing*
JUMP CUT
"Sparkle sparkle sparkle sparkle sparkle!"
Please always be like this.
I absolutely loved how the deep philosophical pondering about life and existence and why we do the things we do was followed by “oooooooh! Sparkle sparkle sparkle!” Absolutely perfect.
Also I’m loving these long videos.
I once did a work experience with a jeweller who went on to become one of the crown jewellers. He was a great guy and really knew his stuff (well, duh lol) and I still have the ring I made 16 years ago during that week
Woah! That is really cool :)
I adore super long builds! Helps me think, inspires me, and calms my nerves. Thanks Adam and Tested team!
at the 1:09:42 mark of a video 1:46:31 in length, Adam says, "it's a long story." That kinda cracked me up.
What a wonderful journey this build has become. So much of Adam's musings and waxing on life...it's all just so wonderful. We come for the knowledge and craftsmanship, we stay for the intimate conversations about life and humanity. Thank you Adam, for giving so many people so many reasons to be optimistic about our own lives as individuals and for our global neighbors and neighborhoods, past, present, and future.
Peace and love to you.
A craftsman getting a ruler as a tattoo and actually using it is literally like the coolest thing ever
I think it would be nice if during time lapses where Adam is listening to music there was a note indicating what was being listened to to help capture the mood of the moment.
I am pretty new to the channel and I'm stealing that ruler tattoo so fast!
I was gonna get a tattoo of "a rugged fish", now gonna get a ruler...lol
Me too
I'm a Brit. Adam, your simulation (not the best word, but hey) of the crown is much more tasteful and appealing than the horrible thing kept under guard. On another subject, I'd love to see "Adam Savage meets Colin Furze and together they build something truly alarming!". You never know, it could happen.
The fact that you didnt milk this build into multiple videos earns all my respect!
I could watch the last minute of this video everyday for the rest of my life. 😂

When working with water you should always work in metric.
1cm^3 of water = 1 gram = 1ml
But one pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter, in English measure anyway.
@@donaldasayers so quickly tell me...
How much does 572cm^3 weigh?

And for that matter, how many inches^3 in 1 pint?

"...and we do that to bulwark ourselves against the meaninglessness of it all" one second later "ooh, sparkle sparkle sparkle" and thats why i love watching your videos adam, absolute hearttugging sincerity and thought, next to goofiness and fun. always glad to look up to to a teacher who also wants to be taught
The thing I like about Adam is that in an age where EVERYONE is VERY territorial about their techniques and methods, Adam shares practically EVERY tip and trick that he knows because to him, good technique and good results supersede the ego of the creator. I’m sure he doesn’t share ALL his secrets but he always makes sure to cover every contingency, possible misstep, and error in judgment, again in the interest of a superior result. Even when things go wrong, he dissects the error to find out WHERE he went wrong to learn from his mistake. It’s like messing around in the garage with your best friend on a Saturday afternoon. I wish the rest of the world had Adam’s enthusiasm and willingness to share. Thank you, Mr. Savage!
Love this longer form ODB. I sort of fell into a good grove working right around the time a normal One Day Build would end. This extra length carried me through.
Two of my favourite sayings:
What could go wrong?
By the time we're done, we'll know how to do it.
"If you've had half as much fun as I had, I've had twice as much fun as you" is my new favorite Adam Savage quote. Reminds me of "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
I really love sitting here in my armchair watching and listening to you waffle on and potter about. Feels really effortless and natural. And I love the honesty!!! Stuff goes wrong.. it happens.. 🤗
Sometimes I feel like we are Adams therapist, today we dealt with Adams feelings about making an Item he knew he could have done better, so he did :)
Imperial measurement: 20 cubic inches of water weighs 12 ounces
Metric measurement: 327 cubic cm of water weighs 327 grams
Thanks Adam for turning a one-day-build into a metaphor for life. Old me (dealing with depression) found motivation to move forward in your vision of gifts and time and new me is optimist about the future. Such a joy to have you in our World.
Hey Adam. I am on artist Working on the Simpsons in the Background Dept. It is funny to hear you say of the method that you used to draw the Fleur De Lis, "this isn't drawn using any natural ability I have to draw", and then go on to describe the way that you measured and compared to recreate an image that you wanted. That is what artist are doing when they hold out their thumb or paintbrush to the model. They are measuring and comparing. Many times they will also transfer a grid to the underdrawing of their work and paint over it so that it is never seen, not to conceal it but just as part of the process. You sir are an artist in the purest tradition. Plus, you came up with the time honored method handed down from the masters on your own, so, bonus points!
I think solder paste might have been a better material to use for the brazing / soldering than the wire. Mostly because it'll also help hold the parts in place and make things a little less fiddly.
Adam: I think I'll make a mold. Then I can make as many fleur-de-lis as I want.
A week later...
Adam's wife: Why is our bed covered in gold leaf and fleur-de-lis and jewels? And why did you buy a purple bedspread and furry polka-dot pillow cases?
Uh, I'm quite sure she's used to his "ways" by now....
@@chuckoneill2023 Yes. I think you are probably right :-)
Nah. She's smart. "Ooh! The Royal treatment!!!" (Pun)

@1:01:06 what Adam says about "the present is the time" is something i hold close to myself. Over the years i would gift my close friends presents for their birthdays or any other occasion, and like any other person, its really tough to pick out a good one for them to enjoy. Simply buying a present can be quite bland if the item can be easily bought from the receiver, and growing up with little to no money, i've learnt that making gifts can be cost effective and holds more value.
My recent gift was a bowl of 1000 hand craft cranes. its sounds simple but 1000 cranes is nothing to scoff at when you're doing it alone. Another was a small 5x7inch artwork i've done.
I truly believe hand craft items hold much more value as gifts
Many of the most important jewels in the British Crown Jewels were given to them by a different governments or individuals. For example the Cullinan Diamonds or Prince Edward’s Ruby. Still happened because of 'Imperial Authority', but certainly they weren't all stolen.
Also, it is not the "Windsor's crown" any more than the Resolute Desk is "Trump's Desk".
Lol “Given”
@@scoobertmcruppert2915 yes, given.
@@scoobertmcruppert2915 Yes, given. In the case of the so-called Stars of Africa that everybody says were stolen, it's even more documented they were gifts. The uncut Cullinan Diamond sat for public sale for two years and nobody bought it. The South African government then bought it to gift to the King, and that's how it came into possession of the monarchy.
It was then the Royal Family that had it cut and labored into the several pieces that exist today.
Using that forbidden "Alexia" word to beam that imperial conversion knowledge to homes around the world there! :)
I was in my basement office when he said it, she answered. Helpful in fact, never thought to ask her that.
Lol yep it set mine off too
And for most of the world, of course, the question is irrelevant, since everybody knows 1 liter of water weighs 1 kg so you don't have to remember (or ask Alexa for) arbitrary conversion rates 😀
@@knahrvorn it was about a cubic measurement not straight volume to weight. Which would have been 327.6 ml
Both mine and Adam's replied in sync. It was like hearing it in stereo
I am not a builder but love creativity. This is like meditation. Wonderful.
from watching mythbusters to watching your youtube content, im just here to say im glad you are still putting content out because your channel is awesome and always entertaining to watch.
I can tell he is king, He hasn't got shit all over him
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I feel like working out how much silicone you need would be much easier in metric
Indeed, 1litre of water is 1 kilogram is 1000cm cubed. It translates very easily 😉 And as Adam said, silicone translates to water pretty closely.
In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade - which is one percent of the difference between it's freezing point and it's boiling point. And any amount of hydrogen weighing the same has exactly one mole of atoms in it.
It's not just logical...it's *elegant*.
Tell me ONE thing that is not easier in metric.

@@jensrogerkristoffersen5472 Degrees fahrenheit are better for telling room temperature because they are more precise (being smaller) and they are easier to imagine in the range humans are comfortable in. What's better to say and think about:

24* or -4.4*?

I love the look of your new crown. The gold looks/pops much better than the brass does. Also, I wish I could afford a 3d printer. I'm a disabled Air Force Veteran who's got no income other than my disability compensation from the VA which is just $280ish per month. Yes that's all and the trick is that I'm constantly on the verge of homelessness again. Luckily I can work from home but trying to find a company willing to give me a job. So I'm trying to start an electronic repair/reuse/recycle business but lack the capital to start right away. I need so much equipment and tools plus the supplies for doing the repairs but I hope to find a way to do it. I see so many people like you that can do so much and just wish I could do the same. Maybe one day. Thank you for showing us your crown 2.0 project you show us how to do things easier and faster sometimes leaving the world with your knowledge so people can follow in your footsteps.
I'm a machinist, and I watched this yesterday, and I saw the part about filing, and I thought "you know, that's right, you can accomplish a lot with just a file, I forgot about that" Then today someone came to me with an urgent job that would have been a kind of difficult set up, but was an easy file job, and I totally thought about doing it with a file because of this video! It only took about 10 minutes and I hit the dimensions well within tolerance. Thanks Adam!
"If you have had half as much fun as I have . . .

It seems like something Bilbo might say.
I thought that this was hilarious when I heard him say it.
Sports Night quote! Which Adam has said he is a big fan of :D
Awesome video. I lost it when Adam talked about upgrading your crown, just had a vision of him adding a subwoofer and blue under lighting. :)
Hot DAYUM. Your builds can get long sometimes, but this was worth it in the end.
I really liked this video. Him talking about the thought process while building is really insightful. You could say the video is full of little gems.
You could say he's a man with many facets
When working on the crown jewels, it's aluminium, Adam
Thank you Adam for putting up stuff like this during this past year. I get that you like to listen to music and, bcos copyright, you have to employ timelapse or cut a video to shreds, but even with it this video is of a decent length. I realise the meta for youtube is about 10-20 minutes, because people these days have a shorter attention span than a goldfish, but I enjoy the longer videos like this, even if there is a lot of timelapse. More like this please. PS I feel I've missed a livestream recently, has Adam done a live stream since March 9th? Wanting to see that Ecto-1 get built!!
I wish Adam would do a show where select fans could join him and they take a week or 2 to design and build the fans dream toy/action figure/model/etc. ....i could see this being really cool to watch and even more epic to take part in
Could not love the no sequitur more between the existential philosophy and "OOOOOOOOH SPARKLE SPARKLE SPARKLE!!!!"
I knew that wasn’t the last of the crown. Love to see Adam doing it “right.” 🤪
Now the king has the proper crown he needs to make one for his Queen!!!
And a couple of sceptres too (essentially "jewelled truncheons" )
off with their heads
I can't believe it. He managed to make a very accurate impression of the cornation Crown of St Edward's. That is absolutely impressive. I'm speechless....
And at the end of video we have King Adam 1st of San Francisco
King of the California Kingdom
Can you imagine this man as King
BEAUTIFUL job! And I'm not one to usually critique any maker's work, but for me, seeing the bolts and nuts of the gems on the underside of the uprights removes the suspension of disbelief. But still, you sir, are a master!
1:46:31 Well spent! This came out amazing!
It's not just thousands of dollars it's millions of dollars in precious stones. All in all 4.5 million dollars to recreate the crown with real gold and jewels.
Remember the hundreds of hours of skilled labour cost on top.😉
Dollars ? You mean Pounds......
@@wolfe1970 Nah, it's only a little under 5 pounds.

@@alexh3974 It's probably both; one being the intrinsic value of the stone and one being the added value by virtue of being a Crown Jewel.

When he is calculating how much silicone he needs, it's a prime example for how ridiculous the imperial system is.

Adam waxing philosophical while candy-caning jewels is a definite highlight
The unfinished crosses in red with beveled edges look friggin metal
Adam might appreciate this documentary about how British military uniforms were made for the recent coronation. There's a bit about how to make metal helmets about 40 minutes in. The guy uses an original tool he says dates from the 1600s!
Coronation Tailors: Fit for a King, on the BBC.
Just a note, this is based off of St. Edward's Crown, but it isn't the one that the monarch wears after coronation or other formal ceremonies. The one that's actually worn by the Queen is the Imperial State Crown that's fully encrusted in diamonds and jewels to the point where hardly any gold is visible.
The part were you talked about the english empire stealing for the longest made me chuckle. I point that out to people sometimes (and the killing) and always get head tilt looks like....oh ya 😂
What about the Roman Empire, Signor Fenili?... How many Britons did you ancestors slaughter?
I'm sry you felt the need to personally attack me because of my last name. Cheers
It makes you wonder back in the age when the real thing was produced, the amount of labour and skill to create it is outstanding
Adam, the Atoms your made of, all created at the beginning of the universe, and now are part of you. Long after your gone, and this planet is gone the Atoms that made you up will still be apart of this universe till all is one again.
Don't forget to make the better half a Queen of Hearts crown... When you go in and say "Wench... bring me my tea". She can put hers on and shout "Off with your head".
The correct syntax here is "sudo bring me my tea" Just be prepared to provide your password.
I am inspired to alias sudo with 'wench'.
@@jdinnis I suspect she would object to the idea of Adam being a super-user :p
Adam’s internal “old school” machinist laying out the cuts in Dykem and cutting by hand. Alternative Universe Norm is doing the layout in Premier and sending it to a CNC mill. I don’t know that one is “better”; as long as they get the job done.
I thought the same thing. You know Adam's got to have a CNC.
Adam, one of the things I love about you is your thrill and enthusiasm about your builds. As you 'model' this at the end, I see my costuming friends doing the same. Thanks. This was a fun, rainy day watch. 🥰
Adam, this is a weird one but the way I watch you walk back and forth, speeding through and completing tasks at record time... I have a lot of the same, I don’t know how to put it but working qualities I guess? I haven’t been checked for adhd but my dad continually gets mad at me for rushing and getting excited about things. Just want to say that it’s nice to know that I’m normal... spread the love
20:19. Whatever Droid that is in the background is having a blast. "Cheep. WOOO!"
We need an "Alexa!" warning lol. My whole place goes off every time.
Adam Savage and his energy makes my ADHD go "Weeeeeeeee!" and straight through the roof :-)
The best part about this build is seeing Adam play with it at the end
Looks like you're having too much fun! Love it! 😀
hey what’s happened to the raptor build videos :( also great build!!! ✨✨
I sent him that same message lol
Nobody knows the details but they all went down at one time which would indicate some kinda legal/IP/copyright shenanigans either from TH-cam or some other party
@@311connorf gah that's a real bummer I was enjoying that series so much
I also did ask a few times yet. It's not that I want to sound like an entitled prick,...Adam doesn't owe us anything,...but (I'm sure) most of us were exited about the project. It just seems immature, unfair and indifferent to the fans, not to clarify what happened.
@@mementomori4972 in fairness if it is some sort of copyright/legal mess (which again I don't know for sure but suspect) making public statements about ongoing legal matters are rarely in your best interest.
An hour & 45 minutes... this just put me in such a relaxed and chill headspace. Exactly what I needed. Great job guys, and thanks! :D
I LOVE your energy and playfulness Adam. You have the curiosity and giddyness of a precocious little school boy. All your videos are so entertaining plus I've learned so many tips and tricks and best practices. Thank you for being you. ❤️
I was thinking those things if you added a lower arm to it would make a nifty throwing star for the new super Villain of the month "the iron King!"
Adam: I've been using it for 30 years.
Me: Wow, that bucket has lasted a long time.
So stoked to see Adam work 3d design and printing into his quiver of tools!
