This weekend build takes on something that's been bothering Adam for a while: the stability of his workbench. So in order to pay it forward for all future One Day Builds, Adam takes apart his workbench and rebuilds it to his satisfaction. The project takes a few detours as Adam has to contend with welder issues, so it's not a build that goes as originally planned!

I'm going to hazard a guess that you got that aluminum from Home Depot, one useful trick with our labels is WD-40, soak them for a few minutes and they'll come right off with some minor scraping. They have an X cut in them to help ingress for exactly this purpose ;P
Do you have any apron recommendations that don’t use animal products? ie no leather
Can I gat a useful tool vid for the rolling Tray that you used here?!
Mr savage your wheel brakes are upside down....3 out of the 4!! Please revise ..xx
@@caseyalexandrarich3452 steel 😭😭
quarantine is turning tested into a productivity machine and for once it's hard to keep up with all the one day builds
i aint complainin
They should just do it like this all the time, it seems more personal and stuff anyway
@@jeremiahbachmann3901 Frankly most of his projects can be done by a novice with only hand tools available, and very few power tools. Just have to have more patience and take care to make sure things line up properly. There's no excuse to not make things.
Ok the quantity of these one day builds are just wonderful
and the quality
Damn straight
Yea it make My day better when i see adam work
And adaam u cant weld in sink its bruning off while u Are welding
Yeah theoritcal output is one a day
I love these one day builds filmed by Adam himself. Somehow it feels like he's your dad showing you around how he does stuff.
It's so personal, the whole "Oh you can't see this, let me get you a bit closer" feels so nice to hear.
Lets be real here Adam is just an incredible person. He would be the best uncle ever
Absolutely fantastic way of explaining it
"Sorry I was late getting back from lunch. I spent 45 minutes watching a guy put a table together."
Not just any guy!!!! Some guy named Adam
Yes.
Adam: "Maggie...it's so not time for your walk yet."
Maggie: "I reject your reality and substitute my own."
Dude i laughed for so long at this comment. Made my day.
what do you mean
@@xl000 have you not watched mythbusters?
Was a comment Adam said at the opening clip of every episode
Underrated comment 🤣😂
Was anyone else screaming at the screen saying 'You've not pop riveted the second X' then @ 25:40 he does it. Thanks Adam, you have no idea how happy this made me
Yeah, I did too!
The wife and I were doing just that not but 10 minutes ago. Lol
No!
The opposite. He should have riveted both X's after forcing the "legs" out since the meating place of the X do change after that.
Probably moved 1-2mm so the X bracing on one side is not as good as the other side because of that, but is it a big change?
Probably not, but perfection is not achieved :)
What a whirlwind of emotion! I couldn’t even make it through the video without checking in the comments to see if he noticed it. Then I read Grizzly’s post and I agree. Ugh.
I thought it was on purpose that he did it afterwards, so he could stabilize it more haha
Adam: "Who at the factory decided on that method of attachment ?"
The accountant.
Haha good one
"built to a price" I recognize that design it's in restaurants everywhere.
When a company grows, it has an inevitable point beyond which the only people "making" money for the company are the ones who cut costs. And it almost always starts innocently, like let's optimize this, that, then it trickles into "let's replace that metal part with a plastic one", because once the original, good will is expended and the greedy CEOs look at them expectantly for more cost cutting, they go into the bad things territory.
IMO a great reason to have laws that interdict companies from changing products once they exit on the market, in such a way that they become easily destroyed, have planned obsolescence, or any feature that cheapens them.
Kinda like we have independent testing and certification for cars, we should have to for products as well, want a good grade and to be allowed to sell that product, pass it through the meat grinder. Tho considering how shit CEOs are, i'd imagine that would last a few years at best until bribes would settle in.
@@bryanhumphreys940 this whole build i was thinking. Bout time someone tore one of those restaurant tables apart. I always hated them.
_"The accountant."_
As an actual bean-counter, I'm annoyed at the blame we get for crappy products and once good companies turned bad.
I have never interfered with the design/production process. I have never demanded bad design choices. I have never, when asked to cost a project for them, chosen to cost out human lives as "if $income-$lawsuits=$profits then do". And I have never, in my working life, seen any other accountant, fin.officer, bookkeeper or freakin' accounts.clerk do any different.
The only input I have into that side of things is to give the owners a genuine account of their income/expenses and regulatory issues. If they decide to use those numbers to eke out every cent of profit and put nothing back into R&D, or skimp on product testing, cheapen a previously good design, or just out and out endanger their customers, it had nothing to do with my choices or preferences.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen incompetent finance people, hell I've seen them straight up steal from a company. But I've never seen any of us in a position to cheapen products, strip-mine companies, or endanger lives.
I actually prefer these raw recorded and cut videos over the higher production quality that y'all normally do. This is so much more.... feral and gritty and makes it feel as if we're in the shop with him. Please do more of this style even after the pandemic.
I've been waiting forever for Adam to say his classic catchphrase, "Well, there's your problem!" again. I feel relieved. Thank you, Adam!
Wasn't that Jamie's famous catchphrase?
@@BROON71 They both said it in the span of mythbusters
He actually says it quite a bit off camera, too.
It was one of the funniest television moments for me after blowing up the cement mixer!
@@richwojehowski1123 "I swear, i left it right here" XD
9:57 was such a subtle edit. He just walked right through a portal.
I don’t think people even noticed it tho 😂
@@tobbiex We noticed. We see everything.
What if it wasn't edited, he's just become an old wizard
We have no idea what exactly he has hidden away in that cave if his.
This is the Shop Class you always wanted to take but was always full!
When Adam brought out the huge channel locks it reminded me of a time when I was a kid in Boyscouts. We were having our annual awards meeting, and there were groups doing skits on stage. One of them was this guy who built a machine that would enlarge things. He would stick in a small cup and out came a huge cup. He did this with several things including a wrench, he stuck in a wrench, and out came a huge wrench. Then at the end he stuck in his sister's doll, and the box shook and blew apart, and out jumped someone that was about 17 or 18 dressed the same as the doll, and it started chasing him. It was great. Adams wrench reminded me of that skit, which says something because the skit was about 50 yrs ago.
"Don't you hate it when you have to weld and you got no place for your minigun?"
Me, a welder: Same, Adam.. Same..
"Everyone has the same workshop problems"
I call it CST: Continuous Surface Transfer
@@michaeldeardeuff693 Yes! I mean technically there was no reason for this build at all. He had a horizontal surface that was collecting stuff. Just like all of the workbenches ever used!
I really want that quote on a tshirt
I really enjoy when he creates new things for one day builds, but honestly, I get far more satisfaction when he repairs or improves on his existing shop. That reminds me, gotta fix my stool.
I think i even prefer the chaotic mess that is his non edited single person videos. you get a much better look at how he operates, that for me is what I enjoy, seeing him work through a problem
@@Kingcaza100 totally agree. It's super personable because we all are that way, unedited
@@gman02468 i find it makes him seem more human, can be easy to see just the pretty'fied edited version, but I could watch him solve a problem for hours, simple or otherwise
Fix it? Just flush it man.
Exemplary Fellow yes, I thought the same thing!
This man and watching him build things should be mandatory for school education. Including the swearing and injuries. He is the father I never had but wished I did.
31:00 - Adam talks about how he should trust himself about getting the orientation of things correct while bolting the caster lock leavers on upside down... You do you Adam
I mean it seems to still work regardless? I think that was his point.
I only noticed the same thing because I have done the same thing myself. Good show
@@Platinum_Squid It would almostwork the way it's supposed to. Depending on the caster design having the brake lever installed upside down may not engage the brake correctly. Realistically it's more of a thing that he won't have as far a travel on the lever because it's designed to be a slight upward (U) curve so the lowest point of the lever is the middle where it connects to the caster, when installed upside down it's going to sit slightly below center of the wheels and therefor contact the ground before it fully engages the brake.
I highly doubt this is a big problem for Adam anyway though as he said the whole reason for this redesign was cause he hated it when he had to move it and he had to move it often so I doubt it'll be locked into position often.
I cam here to mention that also.... :)
@@Platinum_Squid how did you get that impression? That was obviously not his point.
When the camera started falling when using the mini band saw I was terrified that Adam would reach for it and accidentally hit the band saw with his other hand!
Same!
At 15:35? Yes! That little saw really needs a blade guard/guide, especially since he's typically only going to use it to cut thin little strips! If he ever needs to resaw 6" stock he'd use a different tool, no need to leave all that blade both exposed and unguided.
I RIPPED out my fingernail on my belt sander. It's getting better.
I still think that thing needs to operate on a kill switch so if he drops or lets go it just shuts off.
To this day, when Adam says "well there's your problem", it reminds me of a cement truck's chassis buried into the ground by dynamite, with the rest of the truck disappeared.
God I miss ye olde Mythbusters 😪
🤣🤣🤣 oh yer for real
I really like the edit at 9:57, Adam just teleports to the other side of the screen after leaving
You are right, that is the BIGEST channel locks I have ever seen. That set would have made Andre The Giant proud. Thanks for the video.
“Don’t you just hate to weld when you don’t have a place for your mini-gun”, love it!
Know what would be funny? A video of Jamie watching one of Adam's builds and muttering to himself about how HE'D do it.
I really like these raw phone shot One Day Builds, instead of the overproduced ones.
can we just appreciate how Adam is basically making 30 to 60 mins video's(after editing) with his phone, proving that you do not deed an expensive DSLR to shoot a youtube video. Sure, it helps that his workshop is very well lit, but if you want good lighting there are plenty of options to use, shooting in the brightest room in the house using daylight through the window for instance.
Honestly, Out of all the things Adam does, this might be the most inspiring of all. Continuing with his phone. And i know the iPhone has a crazy good camera, but most phones these days are exceptional shooters.
Adam please release your design notebook as a coffee table book!
25:15 Maggie walks out tail wagging happy to see Adam, walks over, gets no attention, walks away with no more tail wagging.
Leave a like, show Maggie the love she didn't get.
I look after a dog sometimes, and it always breaks my heart a little bit: he gets as much attention and as many cuddles as I can possibly give him, but it’s never enough. I’m sure it’s fine and he’s happy enough, but I’d always love to spend even more time with him.
Has anyone ever mentioned how satisfying it is that he take pride in production? Clearly Adam is a master of a few trades, and a jack of damn near everything.... but the guy could just not care about shots and lighting and perspective, or what we see... but no. Instead he’s picked up all he’s learned from ILM to mythbusters, to commercials, and learned something about it for our benefit? He really cares about what the shot (not he) looks like, and has applied it in every video, especially since he’s been self filming in the time of corona. What a study in human behavior and an appreciated one.
I've been watching Adam since I was 8 years old im 26 now and I'm always learning new stuff from him
Immensely satisfying to watch someone being maniacally productive in the middle of this pandemic
Can't wait for "Adam Savage's one day build: Making a new welder!"
One Day Build idea: New Cave.
Mini Welder
@@brtw2 just what i was thinking. adam has gone mini mad
Well, I think first and foremost, he needs a place for his mini-gun
A welder fix would be a good video. Add basic maintenance as well!
Just when I thought I couldn't love this guy more he drops Robbert Pirsig as one of his influencers. I wish I could get a robot copy of Adam that just hangs out in my garage working on stuff.
That's what I like to call...productive procrastination.
Happens in my shop all the time.
There's something rather calming about watching Adam from start to finish making something and I can't help but smile when he's done too making some amazing thing for the achievement that it is. Thank you Tested for making this possible and giving something simple, wonderful, and fun with Adam Savage to keep us laughing and smiling through 2020.
"Well, there's your problem!" took me back to the good ol' days.
In my family that size channel lock is known as the jeweler's pliers. My grandfather was under a car working on it and he needed the small pair of pliers that was out of his reach. He was a bit flustered and couldn't come up with the right words, and asked my dad to hand him the damn jeweler's pliers (meaning the small ones). My dad being the smart ass that he was pulled out the gigantic channel locks and put them in my grandpa's hand. Laughter ensued and now those channel locks will forever be jeweler's pliers.
The company that made that thing spared EVERY expense!
We’ve all dealt with a company like that before.
Around 22:20 I started sounding like a frog - rivet, rivet, rivet...
So I'm not the only one yelling "dude! Rivet the other side!" 😦
I came looking for this comment. I knew it was here somewhere.
@@mr.roboto8324 I'm glad I'm not the only one. :)
rivet
Every time I look back into Adam's shop I notice something new, and I love it!
Adam. Would you consider doing a build show on making a radio controlled lawn mower? There's a lot on TH-cam about making one using electric wheelchair wheels and motors and a Sabertooth power module, but these range in complexity. It would be great to see you build a simple one with the following criteria.
1. No welding required.
2. The deck of the mower must be height adjustable from 2" to at least 6", both front and back.
3. The electrical power of the mower should be able to operate for as long as a standard tank of gas would for the engine. I guess about an hour and 15 minutes.
From those of us who are trying this in order to cut steep slopes on our lawns, this would be a wonderful help!! Thanks for your time and all you teach us through your channel!!
NO way, I was JUST thinking TODAY that I can't work without a proper workbench anymore. My needs are extremely different but it's so nice to watch this stuff anyway.
"Well, there's your problem!"
Love it every time you say it. And let me remind you, you ain't saying it enough!
"It's likely a simple fix but not one that I'm in the mood to do today"
My life in words.
Mood
Odds are it’s a loose connection, a 2-second fix. Kinda kills me that he didn’t (seem) to even run through a quick checklist of easy fixes. Can’t tell you how many times as a maintenance tech. In the military the issue was the frickin’ thing was just unplugged…
Myeloman thank you for your service
@@TheMyeloman Unplugged, breaker tripped or my personal favourite three years worth of caked on grime inside the welder. Don't get me started on galley equipment.
I was in my shop earlier today complaining about a bench, and BAM!, here you are telling me to fix it. As soon as I wake up i'm on it
Thanks, Man!
I’m 22 years old now and grew up madly obsessed with mythbusters ... after watching this it’s absolutley 100% safe to say I know where I got all my mad scientist traits from
Don't know who's editing this video, but that cut about 9:57? That was freakin' art!
The ending was everything!!!
Adam going nostalgic over all the years he's been covering hit tables with brown paper...
You see the history in his eyes and the joy was almost overwhelming
Dunno about you guys but watching Adam here build/modify things is very relaxing on my end haha it's like ASMR
I just watched 40 mins of Adam modifying a table and I’m a better person for it. Man I love your philosophy. I also get to the point where I’m like RIGHT, STOP WORK, this janky ass wheel needs to be fixed right now. Also have the same sigh moment as I realise this isn’t going to be the 2 min job I’d hoped for!
"Now I want to put in a shelf..."
Adam - It had a shelf when you took it apart...
I do not believe that "rigidify" is an actual word, yet its my new favorite word!
Etymology is one helluva drug.
For years nothing went into my shop without wheels. That makes re-arranging your shop and cleaning so much easer.
Saw the title and immediately thought 1.25" square thick wall tubing welded into a box and then 3/4" plywood on top and inside bottom. This is how my dad made all his workbenches and you can literally rest a car on them no problem. Those workbenches are now mine since he passed 2 years ago.
12:39 so smooth that no-one seems to have even noticed.
Was it the transition from him stopping the previous recording to start the timelapse and stopping the timelapse?
@@DiegoA._. The way that he sunk that rolled up tape. Screwed up tape is aerodynamically unstable and doesn't have a lot of weight to it which makes it a nightmare to throw.
Well he might have done it a couple of times haha
Adam:
I need the biggest channellocks you have.
No, that's too big
30:41 My first real job in a repair shop back in the 90's was home electronics repair; mostly VCR's. My first lesson in the disassembly/reassembly of these small appliances was the great importance of organization found in.... a simple ice cube tray. Break the process down into steps. Hardware from each step gets it's own space in order. E.G.: Remove outer case screws, those screws go into first 'bin'. Next the rear panel screws, they go in the next bin. Mechanical chassis screws, next bin. Main board screws, next bin...etc. That process gives you every chance you need to tear down and rebuild an item with no screw left behind. To this day if I'm digging into something I'm not already familiar with, one of my first questions is, "Where the hell are my ice cube trays?"
(Thanks for being a good boss & teacher Chuck!!)
glad to know I'm not the only one that worries about forgetting how to reassemble something. I recently rebuilt my motorcycle engine and I not only laid out each part, nut, and bolt in the same orientation and order that I removed it, I also labelled and took pictures of each step as I removed parts little by little. Helped a lot when I reassembled everything a few weeks later once the heads and cylinders returned from the machine shop. And I've found it helpful for a few friends to show my pictures and be able to have those internal shots that you normally don't get to see.
I am loving the recent shift to leaving in regular audio when shifting to sped up footage, like with the grinding in this video and the tablesaw in other videos. Music tends to feel like a “5 minute crafts” video, and speeding up the audio with the video tended to create a very high frequency horrible tool noise 😂
Watching Adam remember his love for creating over the last few months has been amazing.
Spending all day in the shop, building something that was already there. So very meditative! Now if only I could build that dimensional portal to extra storage space.
I, also have one of those extra-large channel-locks. Don't use it that much, but when you need them; there is no substitute! We never regret buying the best when we really need the right tool.
The song Adam sings is Keren Ann - “Not Going Anywhere” - a beautifully obscure song
"Well there's your problem"
That took me back harder and faster than Buster on any of the various rockets he's riden
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. That brings back great memories. I enjoyed the build, but honestly the memories of overhauling my friend’s Honda CB350 (which took a whole summer), listening to AM radio and digging through manuals so we didn’t screw up, were worth so much. My friend has passed on, but it was almost like we were back in his garage, just a few moments. Thanks.
Splendid build Adam, Batman and Robin would truly be envious to have a man cave like yours, it makes theirs look so in adequate, all you need in there is a fireman's pole to slide down on. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s one day build episode where Adam rebuilds a welder!
Re: The Brown Paper...
Personally I would've made a kitchen towel type dispenser for the roll of brown paper and two strips of metal o n each end of the workbench for the paper to slip under... Much like they have on doctor's examination tables. Maybe that'll be the next upgrade?
That would mean the paper moves around when you slide stuff around. No a big deal for a doctors office but could be annoying for Adam.
Personally, I would not use paper at all unless I was doing a lot of painting. A workbench surface, particularly a wooden surface, can take some abuse. Once it gets too bad, just sand or plane it down and then its good to go again.
I heard brown paper and was like "Numberphile crossover?!"
@@Crispy_Bee- The paper would be under the metal strips at either end, so it could only move side-to-side.... An easy fix for that would be a simple clamping mechanism at either end to apply downwards pressure onto the metal hold-down bars and some foam rubber or cork on the side that contacts the paper.
Personally, I haven't found the doctor's office exam tables to slide around (and I'm in several Dr's offices regularly), but that's probably due to the clean vinyl gripping the paper a little.
@@XJWill1 - Norm Abraham uses thin sheets of "hardboard"... The compressed wood fiber stuff with a very smooth side and the other side rough. His edging strip around his bench is raised, which creates an inset for the sacrificial worktop and it sits flush when installed.
I like the methodology of laying out the parts I remove from something in their original configuration so you know where they go when you put them back. I've been doing it that way for years. If I ever get afraid that I won't remember how something goes back together, I'll usually video record the disassembly process so that if needed, I can refer back to it to determine how something is reassembled. Really cool little fixit project Adam. Love your videos.
I do the same using my phone camera to take before pictures of any an everything it has helped in more than a few times
Adam!!! Thank you for giving me permission to admit that my shop is not perfect and that there has been an issue that I have been ignoring for quite a while. I am going to fix the problem of the the "catch all box" and love the back corner of my shop once again.
12:14 "I cant tell if its my hearing aids ringing or if its the world", It is the world, I hear a high pitched tone during that clip
When you started talking again the ringing picks up, like your voice was resonating with some hard thin material that echoed that ringing
15:20 Adam's second book. "Every tool is actually a bandsaw"
I love that Adam's shop is basically half museum, I would love to go and explore it in person and see all the history he has hidden everywhere
I like how his plan to fix the table turned into rebuilding the table using some of the old parts!
Now you should add an "brown paper dispenser" fixed in one end the table.
Under the overhang at one end.
its like watching a Mad Scientist with charm and charisma create something interesting.
a Mad Scientist ... its exactly this
That edit at the ten minute mark is so underappreciated
“There’s your problem.” - classic! It absolutely cracked me up when you and Jamie would say that on Mythbusters!
"That tape is harshing my mellow" my man Savage.
"I've rarely taken apart something and been so spectacularly unimpressed"
That's what AvE thrives on.
That old table top would make a wicked plate-reverb ghehe. Thanks for posting again man, makes my day!
I am being to really Love these windows into Adam's work shop. Its like tiny portal into his workshop.
At 10:00 Reminded me of Thor Ragnarok " this whole thing is a circle not a real circle more like a freaky circle"
I love it when they do fun edits like that. Either that or Adam is actually a time lord.
Not the best time stamp
@@soop8665 Keep it positive. Times are tough right now, and a pessimistic view on things as small as that are not needed. Keep the peace✌️
Owen Atkinson fair point, although I did not see myself as being negative I do apologize. Have a good one!
@@soop8665 Thanks for understanding
Never knew I needed to hear Adam Savage say “shite” but here we are!
It's nice to know that that word is used in other countries.
A tip a learned when I was a gallery/museum framer for a fine art gallery framing shop. When your putting on the brown paper table cover secure one edge (usually the edge hardest to work around). Then lay out and trim paper to just over hang the edge of the table top. ** before securing the other edges lightly mist the paper with water**. Then secure the other three edges. Run a hair dryer over the damp paper working from the edges towards any wrinkles in the paper. The paper contracts as it drys giving you a flat fitted surface that will not trap any dust in a bulge or valley that can then transfer onto your work! Tip 2: do two to three layers at a time. Secure each layer separately. When the top layer is damaged just quickly strip it off and keep working. Taking 20-30 min at the start of a project to prep the workspace can result in less waisted time during the active work time, keeps the surface clean and that keeps the work clean. Less down time keeps the work moving.
I’m a fan of Adam’s from Mythbusters, but proud to stay after hearing and seeing everything else he’s been into. Just be more careful around the big tools. Even with a time limit, it always pays to stop, take a breath, and think. Would’ve saved me a few trips to the ER in my youth lol
Scott from Long Island NY
Adam: *Sets screw on table*
Me: Magnetic parts tray!.... did I say that outloud?
A good point, I have watch trays and I document. I have seen the regrets of old men borne out in little boxes full of things they can never put back together but will never admit to. I try not to become that person.
this could be a great like different series type thing : one day fixes .
and the welders broken and is supposedly an easy fix! That's great news for an second fixing vid! :D)
Similar story on "Big Channel Locks". In 1985 I was working on a car and couldn't get the distributor to move (twist). I went to the nearest auto parts store and paid $27 (!) for a pair. I thought I would never have another use for those pliers. However, I find them in my hands more often than I ever thought. One of the best tool purchases I ever made.
I would love to just sit down with Adam and listen to his stories.
These one day builds are brilliant, I hope when lockdown is over you still keep them going and with all the little mistakes 😂 been some of the funniest vids I’ve watched but also inspiring keep up the great work
I just watched Matt Cremona's work shop happy hour and he talked about one of his workbench kits going to you. I can not wait to see it
Adam has mentioned that he’s going to get a new one - his “woodworking” workbench is really wobbly, too. I saw that video, it’s a strange design. Looks very heavy and sturdy, though: it’ll be interesting to see it in greater detail.
I am delighted that we're not going to hear that wobbly worktable rattle around in videos anymore, it drove me nuts :D Also, that mad little laughter at 30:01 is the absolute best.
THANK GOD Adam is sorting his bench. Watching him work on that door a couple of weeks back on some janky little pedestal thing was driving me crazy.
"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is one of my favorite books of all time. It's a great read and man, can you pick up life lessons. I should have known a book like that would be one of your favorites as well. Thanks.
If I remember correctly television presenter James May mentions that book in his series "The Reassembler"
I tried reading it and it was not enjoyable at all. It was way over the top and seemed like an excuse to use every word in the human language.
I like how Maggie walks away, when she knows it’s not time for a walk.
The art of motorcycle maintenance is a life changing book.!
Thank you for your work Adam - If we get the many young people of all back ground together to explore making things, I believe they will soar! Do you teach the youth?
Well done editor! That was a smooth transition with the coat
Ha I caught that too, was incredibly smooth.
Adam Savages one day builds: 1:1 Eiffel Tower replica
The one day builds that improve a piece of shop infrastructure are always my favorite. It's always nice to see things improved upon.
