Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Excalibur Henchmen Armor!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Among Adam's armor collection is another suit made by master armorer Terry English for the film Excalibur: one made for the villain Mordred's lead lieutenant. But this armor is missing key pieces from its ensemble, and Adam recalls his training from Terry to rebuild those parts and chemically darkens those parts with Aluminum Black to match the original armor.

Lol "we are never done by lunch". Sitting by myself, i let out a belly laugh! If only kodak moments were still a thing
I never thought I would get an Eskimo kiss from Adam Savage.
You are so awesome Adam! 😍

His flow, almost manic creative states……are art in themselves. Love
There's nothing like settling down in a comfy chair with a nice adult beverage and nerding out to whatever Adam is working on this evening. Thanks.
oh my gosh. yes so true. I swear his videos are so much more educational than school. and just so much easier to enjoy and learn from.
Ah, so this is why we had a show and tell about hammers. They were all out on the workbench already.
Lol!
the improvement on the bench i not there
I was just about to say the same thing. I was originally going to comment on the hammer video saying “surprised he didn’t mention his dead blow hammer” now I know why, he didn’t have it out ready from building this armour 😁
@@julianmariani5191 Someday scholars will get in arguments about the dating of Adam Savage videos from hints like that (just like people try to date Shakespeare now :-).
I do have to say, I like the storytelling of Adam filming himself better than being followed by a cameraman trying desperately to keep up with him as he flits from machine to machine. Not sure how Adam feels about having to worry about getting his actions in frame and pressing record, but it feels more personal when it's shot this way.
Yeah, but it would be nice if he had a cameraman to just get the close up, detail shots and different angles.
Ditto
I wholeheartedly agree, it's so much more watchable this way.
Agreed, I think they have landed on a much better format. I do think they should get a camera operator back in, but they should maintain this format. Cover the majority of your scene in a lock off wide - Adam’s videos have always been more about riding along with him as opposed to a more “follow along” DIY style, and the wide tells that story better. Adam is also a funny guy bursting with personality and the ‘ole showbiz saying applies to him greatly: “Comedy lives in the wide shot.”
A camera operator could be getting some close up cutaways to be sprinkled here and there as needed as well as just making sure the camera is rolling - as a Maker I’d give Adam a solid “A,” but as a camera operator, the trade I do professionally, where a huge part of your job is simply rolling the camera, ESPECIALLY when auto functionality is doing focus and exposure for you, I’d give him about a “C.” Let’s get that grade up a bit, boss man:)
It feels staged, I hate Adam.
It makes me so happy when I click the link, and find out it is over an hour long episode!
Adam Savage, The Bob Ross of metalworking :3
With all the equipment Adam has in his cave, I'd swear its actually a Tardis
Great build Adam! One note is that it sounds like you rinsed your aluminum parts in the sink after blacking -- in the future, please do NOT dump gun black down the drain.
Selenious acid is not only highly corrosive and will release lead and copper from the pipes, but is considered an EPA priority pollutant as it is toxic to aquatic life.
To properly dispose of it, I would collect any used aluminum black, including liquid used to rinse it, neutralize it with baking soda (a few spoonfuls should do), then storing it in a container for future transport to a local household hazardous waste collection facility (they can be found all over the country) along any other containers of used solvents. In San Francisco, there it one called recology which handles solvents.
Sorry for the long post! Waste disposal is never fun, but I feel that an important aspect of making is ensuring that our creations produce as great a net good as possible.
Dumb question, but if it is neutralized with baking soda, why does it then need to go to hazardous treatment? Is it just in case it isn't all neutralized?
@@Stalport Not a dumb question at all! Selenious acid is a form of the element selenium, which -- while necessary for human and animal life -- is toxic in high quantities. Further, when neutralized, selenious acid does not form elemental selenium. Instead it makes different compounds which can interact with other chemicals in the environment to create carcinogens and other harmful chemicals. I will say though, I only did some cursory research into all of this, although my background is environmental engineering and this seems to line up with what I know of hazardous waste treatment. So, if anyone has any information which contradicts or elaborates on what I said, I would love to hear it!
@@Stalport TL;DR - just the _acid_ part of "selenious acid" is neutralised.
Adam doesn't seem to really care about being environmentally conscious with his making
@@nataliealphonse4634 oh yeah totally, he absolutely creates a tonnnnn of waste. That’s why is shop is packed to the brim with stuff he’ll never throw away in case he needs it later lmao get bent.
Just wanted to say thanks!
Been following you since you started Tested.
I listen to you while I work with CAD. It's like having a friend telling a story in the room and it's comforting when working alone from home.
Part of me was surprised when Adam produced an anvil from the ether. But then the rest of me said: no, no, that's to be expected.
I want to say Adam Savage is what I want to be when I grow up, but that would imply Adam Savage is a grown-up...
23:51 the dog is annoyed with all the banging. After she walks off you can see her little face back there staring at Adam.
The sign of a tru madman, works himself into a corner with no room to move until finally the crescendo and hes done.
I share the same talent,
Mr. Savage pun intended you are a "Savage genius" when it comes to creating and building!
Anyone else watching his computer slowly sliding down in that time lapse?
yea. i was like "oh there it goes 😯" it was funny watching 😂
Luckily it was closed when it finally " gravitated "...lol
I’ve watched some of your other videos and I am still having a growing appreciation for your workshop! It’s fabulous.
have you seen the raptor videos?
@@cavemanvi No not yet ….
Love this. I so enjoyed watching your visit with Terry English and to see another set of his armor is fascinating. Thanks, Adam. Thanks for the great editing, Gunther. It's appreciated.
"We're gonna be done by lunch!" ; "We are neeever done by lunch.." is SO true in my industry/job as well lol. Love it
Watching your videos Adam always reminds me of being at my grandfathers place when i was very young while he worked in his workshop on projects. its incredibly relaxing and strangely nostalgic. Thank you so much for making these!~
I've just started to watch Adam's videos after I thought Mythbusters was the last place I'd ever see him again and based on this content I still think he is the most precious person
I caught that TMBG reference, Adam, and somehow their music seems completely fitting for you. Fingertips? Fingertips!
This was great to watch, though, thank you for the whole video. I feel like I learned a lot about working with metal!
One thing I learned from you about metalworking, the small strikes are more important that the big hits.
Adam just has every tool you could imagine. And those you can't even imagine 😃
I believe the correct term for armour circle thingie is besagew. May I say I LOVE your armour vids, you know a lot about armour and have an energy and enthusiasm that shines, please do more. p.s. I loved your Emperor Maxamillian tour, a lot!
Adam you are my spirit animal, love you and your work.
34:12 Ah, the Weta snap mail rings! Happy to say, many years ago I actually indirectly connected Weta with the factory which makes those... by introducing the factory with a couple of the bigger geek collectibles companies, which placed them in contact with Weta.
The noises that shear makes are satisfying / soothing.
Super cool build, Adam!
The Terry English series is one of the most wholesome and entertaining builds you've ever done on the channel. I will rewatch the whole playlist after seeing this video :)
"the Holy Hammering" 🤣
That is going to be used on future occasions for sure!
Stored adjacent to the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. For additional information consult the holy book of armaments, chapter two, verses 9 to 21.
I’m so happy our voices were heard and Adam went back to the cell phone recordings. Thank you Adam
Adam will continue to mostly film himself, but we will continue to film a couple of builds a month. When we film Adam, he can focus better on what he's doing, which he likes, and it's also a lot easier to edit. Plus, we all get renewed energy being together in person. But not to worry, we always planned that Adam would largely continue to film himself and that hasn't changed.
@@tested i hope youtube comments dont get production teams fired. its best when theres production editing and different angles. the people that say its better to have adam forget to point the camera at things because it feels more "homey" are just plain wrong
@@tested Wonderful. Best of both worlds. I enjoy the self-filmed videos, but the quality of video and editing from the team filmed ones can't be topped. Having a mix of both is going to be great! I'm sure you all are thankful to be able to be in the same room together again for this builds!!
@@tested No offense meant to Adam, but the quantity difference is pretty obvious when y’all are filming, plus you usually remember to hit record, lol
It's not about forgetting to hit record or quality, the point of these videos is to show the thing that is being done, and I'll take slight missing bits and good but not amazing quality over camera movement so constant it's faster than the autofocus can cope with, or using such fast glass that the focus plane is paper thin. I want to see what he's doing, fancy camera movements and DOF be damned. But I know it's two sides of a difficult balance.
A screw driver works really well for the riveting at the edges. It gives a really defined line and curls up the metal way better than something broad.
To listen to, and watch Adam work, is a TRUE gift. One i get to take part in, that i feel unworthy of. That being said. There are 2 of many Austin City Limits performances i have watched that have stayed with me. Eric Johnson, and John Mayer. *flies away*
that sound of the finger lames being cut and falling from the shears is so cool
I love these videos! Your work with Terry actually inspired me to make my own suit of armour from scratch
I'm pretty sure born in a different era Adam would be the #1 maker youtuber.
I loved watching the laptop gradually vibrate off the bench behind Adam's back. That's why you need a cameraman :-).
I love what you do Adam but, and I don't know if it was editorial decision or if you didn't film it, we watch all the making of the parts of the gauntlets and then the time-lapse of their assembly but we don't see a good shot of the finished product. Honestly it leaves the whole hour plus of a video incomplete. What is the point of all the building and fabricating if you can't see the finished product? You end with saying you are going to stare at it for awhile, maybe we could too?
the disk is called a Rondel. I made armor for a living for half my life. Working with sheetmetal every day i wore out left hand gloves from holding the metal and my right hand used the hammer with no glove. I had buckets of right hand gloves so i always tried to find a left handed apprentice.
You should have talked to your customers. I wore out right handed gloves playing with swords faster than left ones. :D
@@jpgsawyer most likely different gloves,i used thick shop gloves.
@@WesternIronwoks A great idea, if I ever took up the sword, they might just help me keep my hand. 😁
DAAAANG!!! loved this build. this armor looks so SOOOO cool. love your work and love these videos were you make awesome film memoribilia :D keep it up :D love from Norway :D
You're one of my heroes. Thank you for getting in front of a camera.
I just want all of Mr Adams skills, tools, shop space, materials, experience and collections….is that too much to ask?! Also…..24:05 spot the puppy…..
Working metal is so fun! Right!
Your A. Savage Blacksmith!
The music paired in this one is so nice to witness a build to honestly.
Incredible! Excalibur is one of the best films ever made.
I find it so funny when you get some glimpses of the Tism
Those muscle operated machines are so nice to work with as they produce no noise. I want to get an old hand crank drill just because of that.
You can tell he was in a really good mood. It was kinda contagious.
Glad I watched Adam's hammer video before this now!
My dad worked in the lab of a chemical plant…he destroyed many shirts and pants by splattering drops of acid on them…..wear something with sleeves!
Can we get another video showing the gauntlets
Right?? I was bummed that when he finished them we didn’t get a close up
That was one of my favorite characters and suits of armor from that film now all you need is his hand and a half sword and his whip
Wow I spotted the Kennedy machinist toolbox on the shelf. My father was a machinist that worked at Sikorsky as a toolmaker for years and used a Kennedy, its actually in my garage. My mother also used one in Sikorsky until she became a mechanical engineer, so actually theres two in my garage. They are very nice toolboxes and from the 70-80s. you dont see quality boxes like that much anymore
YESSSSSSSSSSS more videos likethis
For someone who thinks every tool is a hammer, Adam sure got some nice ones! 😊
Dammit.. Now that song is in my head again... 🥺
I love learning about the Excalibur movie, such a great build and lore dl thanks can't wait to see more.
Well, someone was amped today!
We love all the history Adam! Keep it in!
This is definitely not staged..
It's not just cosy, but as 'real' as it gets.
If you doubt me, take a look at 6:10 - 6:17 and spot the "concentration tounge"
That's the beauty of this, he brings us into his actual personal space to share his joy of making.
Thank you Adam.
It's so important for me to see this with me being a fantasy writer.
Last nigiht i had the random impulse to binge watch the terry english armor series, and today this comes out. Amazing
So cool to own SEVERAL suits of armor! I always wanted ONE!
Absolutely stunning! Love the video format and the background stuff. That armour is fantastic though.
in my appenticeship we had buckets of clecos for doing aircraft paneling. Super usefull for sheet metal riviting.
I do enjoy watching your "one day(ish) " builds 😊
You can just tell that Adam is in a good mood today
When I did the shoulders on my SCA armor I used 2 mm steel. That took more brute force than a plastic hammer let me tell you :-) Thin aluminum looks ok but I wouldn't want to fight in it.
The classic makers tongue ... It gets me every time :) You never even realize its happening but its all part of the magic.
Niiice! I recently learned how to make chainmail. Whether or not I ever build a set of armour for myself. I sure as heck like the idea of knowing how, if I want to. Great build Adam! Thanks, you pre-solved the hardest parts..👍
Adam, you _really_ should move from armoring in Al to armoring in steel. The end result is just plain _worth_ it.
i was dissapointed that we didnt get a good look at the finished gauntlets and glove pieces .
i want to learn how that fits together. thank you.
It must be comforting to know that if you ever got sent back in time, you would have a useful skill set.
That… is a very clever annealing trick!!
53:40 TMBG deep cut?
Sounds like somebody liked to put Apollo 18 on shuffle.
As a college professor I try to shape students, but sadly I am not allowed to just beat on my charges to relieve stress like Adam can beat on that metal he is trying to shape.
Sometimes you have to nudge them with a sharp pitchfork.
Terry English quenched the aluminum after heating it for the annealing process
I was thinking that too. :O
I wish I had a workshop 1/10 as nice as this.
I think Terry would be happy to see you applying what you learnt with him.
@09:17 Oh Adam. I never thought that you would ask.
I love how Adam rocked his Tom Sachs Nikecraft Mars Yards in a good portion of this video .
45:00 Best method to hammer finger lames is, place a metak rod over the lame and hammer said rod. Instant curve in one blow.
okay, okay, so I am still a little behind in my TH-cam, but I swear I just about had a heart attack, when I saw "one day builds" and "henchman armor" in the same sentence. I was about ready to be flabbergasted at a whole suit of, even prop armor, in a day. So much relief when it was only a few bits of the suit. Great video by the way.
Also the "we'll be done by lunch/we're never done by lunch" should be a clip of it's own. It's perfect for any artist or craftsperson.
Didn't get to see the gauntlets fully assembled...
I know right! Let alone see them on! What a tease!
Really wanted to see how they worked
So, I'm going to see you at the armorer's convention next year, right Adam?
Epic armor for an epic movie. I would like to mention the Austin city limits shirt. Stayed up late many a night to watch.
Wow, that was impressive, what a work pace!
Thanks for the inspiration ✌
"Ziss a pile of mai fingertips" i cant stop rewinding that part im laughing so hard 😂😂😂 ive seen it like 20 times now and counting!
I got a huge grin on my face when I realized Adam was referencing Ted Lasso.
"That just lives down there now"
You need to get a sign of that great Ford Prefect line from
"Time is an illusion, Lunch Time doubly so."
15:48 watching the laptop slowly fall off the edge of the work table
Cool. I am reading The Once and Future King.
I never knew they had a name, (but should have), but I've seen the rivet-holders before in movies and documentaries about aircraft manufacture, especially during World War II. In a film about, say, the North American P-51 mustang's, you will see hundreds of them on the wings and fuselages. As stated, I never before knew the name, Cleeko.
PS, great choices of music for your time-lapse segments. A lot of it reminds me of the soundtrack to the, "Ratchet And Clank" video game series.
“I think I could probably do two or three at a time. Let’s try five!” -Adam
I have some metal shaping but I never really understood annealing but that Sharpie trick could help.
Well done! Beautiful armor set.
Another method for annealing aluminum is to set your torch with a carburizing flame (black Smokey flame) and cover your piece with the carbon from the flame. Then after your piece is covered in soot reset the flame to a standard heat and burn off the carbon. Done.
23:50 Screw this! Guy can't let a pup nap in peace!
