- Somewhere in San Francisco is a hidden workshop of wonder. A place where iconic characters, creatures, and props from cult favorite movies are pulled from the screen into reality. Adam Savage's Cave is the Mythbusters host's personal sanctum, the place he goes not only to build his painstaking creations but where he displays a lifetime's collection of oddities, eclectic memorabilia, and film props. It's the well that's at once the source of Adam's inspiration and a reflection of his obsessions. And Tested.com is pleased to invite you in for an exclusive tour of Adam Savage's workshop.
Plus, Adam's shop is now on Google Street View! See if you can find the secret location, through a sewer manhole cover somewhere in San Francisco...

Check out Adam's tour of his HOME office here: th-cam.com/video/7I0rX7t1J0Q/w-d-xo.html
Life is in progress.
Coming up on the 5th anniversary of this video, isn't it time for a new tour? I am really curiuous how the shop has evolved.
what i want to know is has anyone actually done his claim of a lathe making a lathe
Dennis S I think it will take more than a lathe
@@owjfabrication6822 at 16:22 he says ''a lathe is in fact the only tool that can build itself'' so its something i was currious to see
Adam, you remind me of Futurama. Professor: "This is where i keep various lengths of wire, and over there is my space ship"
OMG its true xD
Hahahaha
***** lol made my day
7 b
+Aussie Muscle "Here are my various drill bits. That back there is an Iron Man suit/Terminator model. Now look how organized my drill bits are!"
Evil Ash Love this comment xD
This is an artist's, cosplayer's, architect's, DIY nerd's paradise! You could make anything with those tools, and I'm obsessed with the golden frame in his attic.
Barney Isadinosaur Even a knifemaker's and smith's paradise.
xXInfXx eh close
But not someone with OCD paradise
@@hwhite1804 maybe it's good for OCD therapy
In other words, adam savage's cave is like ducktape, you can make anything with it!
Adam seems to create a museum wherever he is
Artists like things around them for inspiration,they also enjoy and respect the work of others.
He's a hoarder. Granted, he makes the things he hoards.
@@slaiyfershin Collector. Hoarder implies a negative. Adam’s shop is curated, organized, and clearly well cared for.
Adam, isn’t it about time for a new cave tour? A lot must have changed.
YES we need an updated cave tour!
right, and whats cool is seeing his ideas/plans manifest themselves
Indeed!
I came for the comment section to say that, been 7 years now!
Two years later and we still waitin'
"I traded a stuffed iguana and a gold watch for this to a crazy Russian named Sasha in 1991."
It's so ridiculous it has to be true.
I need a comic book series of Adam savage's life now......
This sounds like something that would start off a Tom Waits song
I hate how true this comment is
It is so absurd and that is exactly why I believe it.
May you live forever, Adam! For it will take that long to fulfill all of your projects.
I want to be Adam when I grow up
Also, you need an apocalypse bunker underneath this, Adam
Hidden Bunker-ception
same...
oh my god yes!
When you grow up? Heck, be Adam now! Everyone has the potential to, just put your mind to it and try your hardest.
I love how excited Adam gets over some really cool, nerdy pieces of art. Seeing this makes me think that if I can create something to make anyone as excited as Adam is about the art he has collected I will know that I have officially made it as an artist.
I've visited this place & it rocks! Adam Savage has one hell of a collection of movie props and curiosity objects!
I want a man-cave like his!
Where's the full-size cast of the T-Rex head?
Simon Sangster - Adam is extremely nice! And funny!
Eric Cheng - this video was shot before he T-Rex arrived, I believe.
Bonnie Burton
you met Adam?
He has to be the most interesting man in the world! He would appeal to anyone he talked too. I just cant get over how many FASCINATING things Adam has in his home.. i could sit for hours and have him explain every little thing in his home and the story behind it.
We need to get Adam and Taliesin Jaffe in a room together and just let them talk. I'd never leave, so many cool stories between the two of them.
We need to get him and Colin furze together and let them have a build
Adam has always been such a great role model, I’m glad to see he’s still passionate and doing what he does best
He's like an excited dad when his son's friends come over and wants to show off all the collectibles.
been watching Adams videos non stop. I never realized how interesting he was. you're an awesome dude Adam and quite talented.
If the apocalypse ever happens I see Adam making a Community of survivors and all of them wearing armour inspired by Adams favourite movies,games,etc.
I would want to survive the apocalypse if Adam was my boss.
Otherwise it would be TWD, no winners and the "winners" are evil too.
He, like everyone else, will be far too busy trying to find something to eat after an apocalypse. Think about it: How much food do YOU have that will still be edible three days after all power is gone?
You traded a stuffed iguana and a golden watch to a crazy Russian? What?
Dr. J. Bright i feel he got ripped off for that gold watch
I feel like the russian could have gotten a wrench and screw driver for a gold watch and a stuffed iguana. Most things in russia can be fixed with two tools. A Screwdriver and a wrench
James Allen or a sickle and a hammer
i knew that i wasn't the only one that wanting to make that comment, dammit
This is the comment I was expecting :D
I love it. It’s a shop that someone uses. Not one of these garages that looks like a modern home that someone parks their Ferraris and not a lick of grease found in any of their tools or tool boxes.
However, it’s is just chaos. I would get anxiety just being in there. But …..I bet you Adam knows exactly where everything is. That’s the crazy part.
Adam Savage, the cool father nobody will have
+CeeDee Player He has 2 sons.
Matthias Smed Larsen
well, his sons are the obvious exceptions
Best Dad Ever PERIOF
+Matthias Smed Larsen It'd be a lil funny if they hated DIY and such.
+CeeDee Player Yeah holy shit. I'm sad now :(
'traded a stuffed iguana and a gold watch to a crazy Russian named Sasha' has to be my new favourite quote of Adam's
There needs to be a tshirt with that on it
TEZ videos 33 agreed
I want that shirt xD
Gran Gurbo im going to use his story everytime someone asks me where I get my crazy stuff from.
I found the Savage Cave online a few years ago when I was out of work and had a day to kill between job interviews. Took me a few hours and some hints from some of Adam's other videos. Out of respect I would never give out the address and I posted him on Facebook with suggested edits to those videos that assisted in pin pointing the location.
I'm trying to find it just based on the window, door, garage door window layout and that it appears to be a south facing building. He also mentioned a neighbor, but that didn't lead to anything. To me, the building appears to be a larger building, something like a department store (ceiling height is at least 13 feet) and his unit looks like it may be 1/2 of the structures space (note the steel frame drywall partition and large steel trusses). I'm surprised that anyone found this quickly...I'm a pretty skilled Maps navigator and I have a few hours in this.
The only thing I hate about this video is that it ended. Amazing shop and amazing person. Thank you for sharing!
The person everyone wants as their best friend, the most interesting man in the world, even a drone won't fly away from him.
Great Quote!

Prickson
Although, by placing the correct grammar, as in Adam's rather than Adams, we all know the cave belongs to Adam thus making it clear it's Adam's savage cave. So I think you and the Liam are being a bit dicky for being so picky about being shown how grammar can make things very clear. I also don't think he screwed the joke, because there's no capital letter on savage we know that he is meaning the adjective savage, not the last name Savage. So you see, Dick whoops I mean Dan?
Well done
this video is 3 years old and yet still one of my favorites. I wonder how things have evolved
Not a whole lot, haha
I'm so jealous of what a tool selection there is....being a blacksmith/ knife maker this made my motivation to build a shop so much greater
Adam is my spirit animal.
man adam is so passionate about this type of stuff.its truely inspiring
It's amazing you know the names to all your tools, but even more impressive that you know how to use them and create whatever you want. Your a joy to watch!
Simply brilliant you are, Adam. You're skill set is out of this world and TOP NOTCH++++
Lot's to be proud of . He has accomplished so much and has everything that's needed to do the job he takes pride in and loves.
Has a shelf that says "TOOLS ONLY" *no tools in sight*
Ahhh, the clutter of an inventor :)
This is arguably one of the best vids ever put on TH-cam. Definitely belongs at least in the top 100 for the past ten years. I'd hate to have to make that list.
I do not envy Adam if he ever decides to move!
that was my thought
Luckily when you have Adam kind of money, you don't have to move. I don't know if he's insane rich but I bet he's well off that he can own his property outright and not worry about "I have to move and sell the house for a new job or I can't afford the mortgage"
@@TheGrandmaster1 he's net worth is around $8 Million so I'd imagine he's definitely sitting pretty comfortable
@@alexmcgrath6686 1/3 of that is locked up in tools and materials in his shop ;)
@@jvanallen91 metric screws alone
Adam Savage has a ducking showcase that is a geek's dream and spends 80% of the video showing us belt sanders and wrenches... Gotta love the guy
O Zé também ficou entusiasmado, but to be truthful acho que é só um monte de tralha.... Aquilo não serve para nada, it's just sitting there. :|
Oh mas tem cenas mesmo wow! O gajo tem um C3-PO! Tá logo na thumbnail!
+Bruno Cancela It's about making the props, don't know if he cares so much having them
I'm watching this and i just keep thinking whatiftheresafirewhatiftheresafirewhatiftheresafire
Chase H Emergency protocol bursts into action, oxygen masks drop from hidden spots in the ceiling and the whole shop is automatically flooded with CO2 after 30 seconds. Kills the fire, you get a bit cold, nothing is wet, all is well ;-)
CarameliaM you also suffocate from the room being filled with CO2, but the fire is out
Techno Turkey
Oh dear, if you read my comment fully, you'd see the first point "oxygen masks drop from the ceiling" ...
CarameliaM well you see.... my name's clearly states that I'm a turkey... and turkeys can't read.
:-) that's ok then ... poor turkey.
Adam I think I love you... because you make me realize I'm not the only man in the world who likes thing clean, tidy, organized with everything having a place & everything is in it's place. :)
Adam Savage is a straight genius in his feild. His curiousity straight carried him to greatness. Also his camera smarts are off the charts from myth busters. Truely one of a kind
Adam Savage is king of the nerds, Long may he reign.
Adam likes cases and helmets. Helmets maybe cause they're a case for your head?
James Shelnutt So true!
Screw you that was clever
cases because they are helmets for your belongings
He's a real head case
Just so casually says "it's just an office chair" when looking at an ejector seat
An amazing guy, an amazing workshop. A reminder of what being passionate is all about. So cool!
scary how he went casually forewards down the ladder with no care xD
Complacently...
And how did he get that heavy gear up there in the first place ? English wheels weigh a ton.
At least when the time comes, he can build an escalator.
I half expected him to fall.
He still does, it amazed me as well, but he explained that he's used to crappy stairs since he was 23 or so.
Sir Adam, I wish I was as smart you. This is pure genius and passion for craft.
You could spend hours upon hours telling us about all these interesting and unique items one by one and honestly I wouldn't get tired of it.
I am so impressed by you as a person, as a prop maker, and as an inventor.
Love the shop and all the tools, machines and artifacts but Adam brings it all to life and makes it magic!
Nothing beats a guy with pure passion ....love your place .
Stunning situation. Fabulous stash, amazing setup. ❤❤❤❤
Amazing, all he needs now is a gaming PC with 6 monitors....
Adam Savage is living the geek dream
Oh come on, Adam. Stick a tube that says "ROCKET MOTOR" in the back of the ejection seat. Don't put a real motor of course, but you're a prop maker man.
except that isn't a prop. it's an actual ejector seat. there is a boundary between the two and its more authentic if you don't mix them.
+Harry. B. Renner. Jr. ejection seats aren’t hard to get they’re just expensive. literally just go search ejection seat for sale, there are genuine companies based around selling furniture made of ejection seats and other plane parts
@@tylergarza6632 ejecto seato cuz
The ejection seat makes me think of my great grandfather. He was a colonel, and when he retired he was given a rocking chair made out of an old ejection seat. Still probably the coolest thing I have ever sat in.
If my ADD had money... I would live in that shop too... Awesome!!!
We've been waiting so long for this!
Adam, is there any chance you'd do an updated tour!
Yes.
I've watch how many one day builds, walk around cons and countless other videos but this is the first time I'm actually watching the cave tour I have no idea why i haven't watched this sooner. I want to see more and i want an updated version
8:23 little did he know 6 years later he'd be in quarantine.
I'd have a place like this if I won the lottery!
Me too 😊 I wish you luck man 😀
, Adam, you are way beyond a talented man, very complicated and busy to say the least. Trying to keep up with you is by far a lost cause, I can't do it.
that's a compliment by the way. One of my all time favorite things you've ever done was with Jamie on Mythbusters, the DUCT TAPE ISLAND episode.
yes, believe it or not, that was so amazing to see you come up with chairs, chess and board.
chicken catcher net, boat.
the list goes on.
you are the most amazing talented person I've ever known, although not personally, but I've watched every episode of mythbusters and TH-cam videos ever made of you.
don't never grow up so to speak, and please never stop with your carreer.
Just like there is a fine line between genius and insanity, there is a fine line between maker and hoarder. As a fellow maker, Adam I envy your cave. It, and the videos at AA in Boston, inspired me to attempt to start a makerspace here in my city. Keep on rockin!
I'm so confused, how can anyone be this organized, have such attention to detail as he does, and not be as miserable as every other OCD person I know? He is the happiest guy ever, has that rare ability to learn constantly, where most of us reach a point where we begin to atrophy mentally, is the closest living parallel to Benjamin Franklin I know of.
In an apocalypse 1 million Tested subscribers would turn up at your house.
Best quote of the year *"I traded a stuffed iguana and a gold watch to a crazy Russian named Sasha"*-Adam Savage
Nothing to say, absolutely nothing to add about the unique nature of this shop -
This is for once and for all a pure SHRINE TO OBSESSION !
I realy appreciate that ;-D
Also, a shrine to impulse buying and never saying no!
looks like heaven on earth to me
You need a fallout elite riot gear helmet, it'd fit right in.
I'm 21 and just now getting into the automotive field and building up my "Shop" but I love being creative, and creating things so a shop like Adams is just eye candy to me, although I'm no where near as experienced as adam in metal working, plastic, wood, etc. but man i love a good shop
Adam, an amazing tool and a hell of an education on how to organize a workshop. Thank you for showing us around.
I feel like i'm watching the dorky version of Jay Leno's garage. I love it!!!
Love that flubber robot at 4:00
God I want to see EVERYTHING in those glass cases!
Oh Adam. Thank you. Your my favorite person at the moment. Just came across the shop tour. I have been looking for a case to display my collectibles for years to no avail without spending a fortune. I have the billy for my books. Now I know how I’m going to complete my office. Thanks again
hello sir hats off to u sir..
every single word u r speaking we can feel how much love and passion u have in art...... thanks for these videos..
6:56, I like how Wall-e is chilling up there.
This is a literal wonderland! Thanks Adam!
I respect a man that keeps his proton pack at the ready right outside his office. I keep mine in my office mounted on the wall at all times. :-D
Even though Adams death would be sad, whoever inherited his cave and possessions would be one lucky fucker
+EndOfGaming I imagine he would have a long complicated will with most of his stuff parted out to different people. And with what his Life Insurance Premiums were when he was doing Mythbusters, he'd better have a will written out.
This is basically what you get if you were a sensible multi-millionaire 'tinkerer/geek/fanboy' .
Because why the hell not right?
Hah! I said this same thing to my friend, before I even read the comments. :) "Adam's the coolest millionaire ever. You realize how much all that stuff had to cost? He gets money and he just spends it on stuff that will allow him to do more work."
Designandrew location, location, location!
I love that in an apocalypse, Adam would be able to load his Allan wrenches and drill bits into the truck quickly.
Man I would give anything to have the shop, tools, and gadgets Adam has. Been watching this guy since I was a kid he has been such a great role model!
OMG...I got flashbacks to "A" when I was learning about ejection seats in the Navy! 5:36
I found the Cave , its awesome !!
Where ?
1196 Valencia St, San Francisco, California. There should be a place with red bricks on the corner of the street, there's a tree on the corner, behind the tree there is a door, click the the door and it should take you inside the cave.
Luciano Diaz Thanks :D
Luciano Diaz THANKS MAN!

You know those “night at the museum” movies? They should make a “night at the cave” where all the stuff stored in there comes to life
Adam, it's amazing cave, this place you handmade created with you spirit!
It's hard to get a full scope of the place. But it appears that he displays and stores all his prized possessions in the same vicinity that he builds things, sands things, and spray paints things. How does he keep his stuff clean? I have a hobbyist's garage. Everything in my place is covered in sawdust and paint overspray. Even the loft in my garage has a trap door at the top of the stairs. dust and crap still gets up there.
Someone as meticulous as he is, I doubt he'd let himself leave if there was even a single spec of dust still on something
proper ventilation, keep an eye on all the air ducts he has around
I think he just doesn't really take care of his stuff. That Omega Seamaster he wears to do all his dirty work and heavy construction is at least 5 grand. He also has an official NASA jacket(looks like a tan contractor's jacket). He wears that to roll around in dirt.
that could have work before but now that he as a metal working space its going to turn to dust city. welding makes a lot of smoke and that smoke is mostly very small particul that are going to get every where.
He probably thinks of it like "If I can't see it/keep it hidden all the time what's the point in having it?" Or maybe he takes inspiration from some of the stuff while he works
Calling it now, instead of visiting museums, we're gonna end up going to people like Adam Savage and Peter Jackson and asking if we can see their collection of collectibles.
I've never seen someone so incredibly excited about his work. Simply incredible! Amazing stuff!
Adam I could have watched 4 hours of your Cave! So Awesome. If I could I would work sorting through your upstairs leftovers. I love that kind of work. God Bless You and Keep you Safe. You are a Artist's Muse.😎
I'd love a new updated video, one of all his cabinets up close too!
I wish I could have that life!
First Chapter you can do anything you set your mind to man
I'm a 'make a lathe with a lathe' sceptic. Surely you'd need a milling machine to machine beds, carriages, chuck jaws etc. They also say 3D printers and cnc routers can build themselves but is not entirely true. Great workshop! So much cool stuff
Love your energy, I’m feeling a whole lot better about my workshop and all the things I have in it. I too have lots of projects waiting for me to dive into them. People tell me I need to get rid of it all but it really keeps me excited and I love sorting through things and the memories they bring back. Thanks for the tour. Andy UK
Adam! Set up a museum!
Adam is slowly beginning to look like Colonel Sanders.
Adam.... honestly.... your shop should become a place of unesco protected world culture heritage.
There are millions and millions of dollars in that shop/storage/museum etc.What a place!

Thanks :D
The Omniscient Tomatoe but what manhole is it
some M.C. Escher shit going on with that staircase lmfao
10:25 "now on the left side" xD
Haha yeah
Those big disk sanders are monsters, and I absolutely LOVE them!
I wish he went over the display shelves more as they looked so interesting! Love these videos and how interesting Adam is!
Adam: "I'm not going to put a rocket in this. This chair will never fly again."
Literally everyone else: "Why must you taint this holy place with your lies?"
