Adam Savage Builds a Tchotchke Display Cabinet!

- The most interesting display cabinet in Adam's workshop may be in the place you least expect: the cave's bathroom, where Adam's tchotchke cabinet he built over 30 years ago resides. But when that cabinet falls and spills its contents all over the cave, it's time to refurbish and reorganize this cherished place of holding. A perfect opportunity to tour through all of its contents!

A skosh is from Japanese, from military American bases, bringing back the world sukoshi, which means a little amount. :D
The brilliance of taking the time to remake a fallen cabinet, just to put it on a single nail so it swings and pivots wildly ensuring more content to make when it breaks again. 👏👏👏
That and the unwillingness to put a latch on so the door flop around is insanity.
Adam's going to run out of room on the back to note "rebuilds".
yeah right and having dunny lid open ,one point was going see him go fish something out of it.
Not any different than how you hang photos .. Ive hung photos with a lot more weight than that looks like it has on a single nail - if that’s in a stud it’s gonna be fine. Though I do agree with you on the door latch! My guess is the door swung open and pulled the entire thing down considering how not broken most of the back of it was.
And he’s in California too. I thought he would screw it to the wall
the first time that tilted, I would have immediately been "Nope, your going onto a french cleat!"
I love using the metal french cleats found at various hardware stores.
Or at least two hangers
I have a similar thought lol. I immediately thought ok now hes going to go grab a new mounting solution.
@@mromutt and fix the door latch?
@@garthor He seemed very set on there not being a latch haha
Savage is the master of doing things 80% good enough.
@@Drew_Snydermann 80% good enough is far better than 0% done. ✅
I’m old enough to remember when Joanie Loved Tchotchke.
LOL
And…I’m dead 😅
Came to the comments to find this, and wasn't disappointed. 😂
@@LAZER1981A
RIP Lazer, the light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. 😢
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Hahahahaha. I am too!
Marie Kondo's method never worked for me but someone gave me a much better question to ask myself: "If this had poop on it would you clean it off or throw it away?"
That…thats genius. 😂
That's a much lower bar than "does it give you joy?" But it's much easier to implement. 😊
Depends how ingrained the poop is tbf
So what about toilet paper, buy it or not?
Kondo lines it up among its pairs and asks give it joy.
Great advice - upgrading my sub-routines to include that 👍
It’s always so interesting to look for items in the background that you recognize from other videos and talks. (Like his Maltese falcon reflected in the bathroom mirror as he’s repopulating the cabinet.)
Well spotted!
"I love meeting people who've chewed the same dirt as me!" This is such an incredible line, I'm stealing it and you can't stop me!
I have a friend whose grandparents buy a vintage letterpress tray for each grandchild when they buy their first home so they can populate it with tchotchkes. It's a fantastic way to highlight milestones and impactful memories with a tactile representation of the event and in an artistic display for a space. I've started collecting trays and building some of my own to pass down to my kids and grandkids one day.
Ok. That’s the coolest gift ever.
That's lovely!
It is called. SETZKASTEN in Germany, and I always wondered, why, it being another purpose for a.letterpress. tray makes so much sense. Thanks for your family tradition. I guess, I will have to custom build one with door now, thanks to Mr Savage.
@@awildschuetz1 in our family it’s hand made andiorndack chairs from my dad and step stools were made for each of us as kids by my Noni (grandfather) on the Christmas we turned 5 . Along with the handmade easel my other grandfather I never met made for my grandmother ) who taught me to paint and is why I’m a graphic artist now) are some of my most precious things I own.
Case falls off wall, damages case, let's rebuild it and secure it back to the wall with one anchor point. Totally safe now!
And that disk sander it still on to this very day! lol
this video has the first appearance that i remember seeing it not spinning.
I love how he judges whether he can take off that tiny bit while it’s still spinning down from last time, or if he’s gonna have to go with the power up. 😁
Is the cabinet hung by a single fixture? Because every time Adam breathes heavy near it, it slips, and it's driving my anxiety through the roof!
I'd have at least two screws in the wall and maybe a supporting batten underneath!!
but how will he get more content from a single object if he fixed it permanently?
This video has made me realize just how much I would love to see Adam make a physical "I Spy" diorama populated with objects of his own design or collection, each object notated with its own anecdote in a corresponding booklet. To see both the creativity in design and scene setting as well as the inspiration behind each addition would be enlightening.
I'm really enjoying the ongoing saga of the air compressor.
One of these days ...
@@tested no rush.
It sparks joy!
The fact that the cabinet is fixed on 1 pivoting point and constantly swinging is driving me mad aahahah... althought what drives me even madder is Adam doesnt care a single bit. xD
I dont think its he doesnt care, I think it was he was more in that hyper focused (hyper fixation) state which was putting his most favorite and precious knick knacks exactly how he wants them. I think he has mentioned ADHD before, but anyway that just like most other things on the spectrum allow for this to happen XD
The shop reminds me of the backrooms and basements of NYC shops packed floor to ceiling just enough room to get through to do what you have to do
~"I love Visual cacophony"
Wait ... thats me :P
Its a blessing Adam Continued filming himself after Mythbuster dude !!! Love this guys !!
If Adam ever started a Movie production company, wouldn’t Visual Cacophony be an awesome name?
About a year ago I built a tchotchke curio for my office. I wanted it to look like it could have been something in the bookstore in the first Neverending Story movie. It turned out great and is one of my favorite pieces of furniture now.
Amazing!
Knowing that an oval Hellboy I made hangs behind the Cave toilet is legitimately the best thing.
~Sculptorio
A visitor of the cave goes to the bathroom for a simple body function, then comes out an hour later with a list of questions.
And possibly stitches!
An object at rest stays at rest.. unless it's a shelf mounted on a wall for 3 decades.. then KABLAM!
Trying to get the shelf out of the bathroom reminds me of one of my favorite movie tropes where our hero picks up the damsel who fainted and carries her through the house to gently place her on a couch. I always wonder what kind of tricks they use to make that look elegant, because I can't carry a laundry basket across the house without banging into door jambs and stuff, and I imagine a laundry basket fits in less space than a fully grown woman 🙂
My mom had a shelf like that in our old entertainment center. It was filled with mice statues. And a real mouse. He lived on the shelf and slept by night and did his mouse thing at night. The only way we knew he was there is when we cleaned off the shelf. I told mom this one felt really and laughed until it jumped out of my hands and ran for the backdoor. Leaving me with a present in my hand.
It's like the Mouse and the Motorcycle in real life!
It falls off the wall by itself; he hangs it back apparently exactly the same way it was before. And eventually a big truck will drive past and it will fall again. Why not put up new hangers, or screw it directly to the wall? I don't get it, it's already sliding around with the smallest touch...And no latch. He didn't clean the glass. My brain hurts.
Yes.....Especially the wall fixing and glass.....
Adam's brain is the most fascinating room of all.
Start of video: "Stupid air compressor, be quiet"
Literally 10 minutes later: "Why don't I have air for my brad nailer?"
The eternal struggle lol
"I don't like that sound in the background, hold on". Ten minutes later nailer goes 'click'. 😂
I love how the shelf was rehung in such a perilous way that it virtually assures it'll get knocked over again and we'll get another fun twenty minutes of repair and jerry-rigging.
Visual cacophony! Excellent description of the environment I thrive in! So hard to describe to someone who craves order... :)
While Adam rearranges his favorite things. Then he feels, HE NEEDS MORE! :D
That bathroom is chaos
I didn't know Scotts family names had mottos. Looked ours up and its "Tutum te robore reddam" (I will give you safety by strength).
Mine's: Insperata floruit
Translation: It has flourished beyond expectations
So, we didn't die out as expected 😂
Now I have to see if I have one.
Seeing you Repopulate that Tchotchke cabinet made me want to built something similar, it doesworth it :D
You may say it is poor build quality, but it lasted 30 years just fine. The mounting was the part that failed, and it didn't explode into pieces, which means it just needs a little love.
If it was all shiny and new... it would lose the Tchotchke'ness of it, such is life.
Screw it to the wall mate😂
After the 2nd tilt i woulda just got my drill and a 2" and screwed it in there.
yup! it fell off for a reason!!
Yes! I give it 6 months before it comes crashing down again. I'd have shoved some JB Weld all over the thing.
Literally yelled that at the screen. 🙄
I prefer the term "oddments", because they're odd little bits and pieces. I could definitely use an oddments shelf, at the moment they're on my bookshelf in front of my books.
Shelf still doesn't seem very securely mounted. Perhaps a cleat strip.
15:34 Was anyone else saying through clenched teeth, "Oh no, don't hit your head when you stand back up"? Then the thing shifted a tiny bit and I was so certain he was going to hit his head _and_ knock the thing off the wall again.
perhaps some hooks to hang a selection of watches from in a long vertical section? playing with width and depth
,, but why did it fall?
I've never seen Adam and a pigeon in the same place......
😊It's really cool that you have something of your dad along with all your faves. I like that I learned a new word!
Yeah, we are the exact opposite. I am a minimalist and I like everything to be out of sight and out of mind until I need it. But that said, I love The Cave. I could never live in it - work there permanently - but I love it. My own workspaces don't even look like workspaces when I'm not using them.
I really thought when the piece of buster fell from Adam's hand, the sound editor was going to insert a "plop" sound as if it fell into the toilet.
I love how each thing is a memory of sorts, or have some sentimental value and a story to tell. It's like a scrapbook in 3D.
Happy to see the Black Axe from Mouse Guard make it back into the cabinet!!!
Beautiful display, for all off your bibs and bobs 😁👍
Can I suggest a french cleat?
All that work to fix it; puts it back on the same shoddy nail🤣
13:56 … and ofc he signed it upside down! Classic savage. XD
One nail/screw in the wall by the left lower corner will stop it from shifting when you open the door!
That big pocket watch reminded me of John Harrison's H4 marine chronometer, and now I need to go re-read Longitude!
In other news, online tchotchke auction incoming!
Why is this titled "Adam Savage Builds a Tchotchke Display Cabinet" when what Adam did was REPAIR a Tchotchke Display Cabinet? Also, as mentioned by other commenters: FRENCH CLEAT for heaven's sake.
An upgrade on how it attaches to the wall wouldn’t have been a wasted effort 🙂
Adam, I can't believe I'm going to give you a suggestion. ... I have started using French cleats to hang cabinets like this. I made a whiskey cabinet for my brother which holds a lot of weight. The French cleat makes it stable and secure.
Hehe, made a display case just like that 60x60cm some 10 years ago 😊
I can't believe you didn't screw into a wall stud. Okay, fine.
Hey! Show us your model stash-- I spotted two stacks. I think.
For trinkets with chains I recommend a slight lip on the front edge of a shelf to keep things from rolling off due to the weight of the chain slipping off. A lip will help everything stay on the shelf.
Visual cacophony. A perfect description of my collections. I have multiple empty walls in need of shelves.
Great video Adam , your enthusiasm is infectious .
You know you made it as a maker when your product makes to Adam's bathroom. Lol
Sorry, Adam, but I'm not sure this cabinet is hung too well 😮
It was about to fall again the second he put it back up! What is wrong with him?? Fix it right dude!!!
that's a hell of a bathroom
Air leaks in a high preassure system, is more expensive then you can think^^
For the desire to see many things at once, what would you think about the layout of the old Cincinnati public library? I guess that one would be a worthy successor to Adam's current workshop, spacewise at least.
8:20 I'm screaming "Clean the glass!"
Holy god. Gloves and eye pro my brother!
Drive a couple of brads into the rear bottom corners of the box and snip them off so about an eighth of an inch protrudes toward the wall. That will stop the cabinet from swinging on the upper hanger. It's an old clockmaker's trick to lock down movement and case so the beat of the clock is maintained.
You signed it upside down, that is going to trigger a lot of people 🤣
He signed it the right way up. You can see the fixture to hang it right above.
@@AnthonyfromPhoenix look again at him carrying it into the room.
a wall clock made to store a bunch of pocket watches seems like a fun idea!
Glad he used the same parts the tchotchke is a memory as well as what it contains
Lovely episode.
Side note; I've found myself thinking I could actually use a measuring tattoo on me somewhere. Somewhere handy.
I think there was a missed opportunity to buff up/clean the plexiglass before the frame was reassembled
That is a cabinet of curiosities. I like that. Nice idea. I often wonder what to do with all my oddments. They usually live in a box but if would be good to display them like this.
I am so glad he pronounced his title when he started the video I thought it said somthing way to different 😂!
I am very much the same with Tchotchkes, knickknacks, and trinkets, any space I live and work in gets an explosion of odd stuffs I like to look at.
You could use the space between the rafters and some plexi to display some more tchotckes, props and anything else above you
Cabinet Hanging Abilities Have Room For Improvement
Why does this feel like Part 1 of 2 of Tchotchke repair, " stay tune for next time when..... "
I can't wait for the air plumbing video
Lookin at ur shelf reminds me of my own watches knives rings semi precious stones each a memory for me
Seeing your collection of stopwatches, and knowing that you have recently acquired a mini lathe IIRC? and jewelers tools....methinks some kind of bespoke timepiece may be in our future? 🤷♂
Ah tchotchkes - the debris of a life well lived. Sure it's just a rock, but maybe it's the first gift your kid gave you in earnest. Something that reminds you of an old friend. Delightful.
Yesss!!! I love how you worded this, it's so good
put in a remote controlled outlet for your compressor.
Replumb your compressed air supply. It will make a great 1 Day Build and will stop your compressor interrupting videos.
I winced in obsessive-compulsive pain when you reassembled the door without cleaning the plexiglass while you had it out. Breathe... breathe... breathe...
I theorize "Tchotchke" is spelled with the "tch" combination twice because Yiddish uses the letters "טש" where ט makes the T phoneme and ש makes the SH phoneme to create the CH sound
'i know, it's weird to build this to the same specs as before'
oh adam, that's not weird at all, that's restoration! you don't see the wonderful armourers at the Met aim to make their artefacts better than their original specifications, do you?
The fact that you are never fully prepared when you press “REC” grinds my gears with rough sand..BTW if Norm is still working with you - sack him and set him free.
Use it to store batteries so you can go to your tchotchke station to pick up some power converters
0:18 on the right (left of Adam) at what seems to be way too close to eye height is what looks to be a serious Safety Hazard 😮 I acknowledge it could be the angle of filming, but my heart stopped for a moment so i had to mention if 😅
All the gear and had no idea it fell off the wall !
I used to do storyboard rough timing, I was thinking of how timing turned up some interesting consistencies .
Joanie Loves Tchotchke
Savage knows he's signing his stuff to add to the future value. That's going to be one hell of an auction. 😊
Oh, it's more that he gives that sort of thing away when it's time to replace it, and it's meaningful to the person he gives it to.
"I don't need a latch"
Feel like a latch would have helped all the stuff falling out when it fell off the wall... >_>
Im always watching behind you. Marvelous to see your cave. It helps me understand myself and my making space.
Have you ever looked at the floor wear patterns to help determine how to organize your shop?
Treated the Tchotchke cabinet, like a Tchotchke itself ... and kept it original. Perfect!
The only artwork in my bathroom is the Zero-G Toilet Instructions I got off Etsy.
