Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Foamcore House!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2016
- Today's One Day Build is a homecoming for Adam, in a few ways. Using only one type of material and one cutting tool, Adam builds an architectural scale model of the house he grew up in. It's a walk down memory lane, and a return to modelmaking basics!

I would love to see u teach us how to make a small battery fog machine. Very useful for some cosplays
That's a great use for a time machine, to go back in time and buy a large house at a bargain price!
@@ericcuascut2475 ㄷㅊㅌ ㄷㅊㅌ
Would love to see it painted and furnished, maybe with a little Adam at his work bench making a little model like this. 🤔🙂
@@ericcuascut2475 dry ice in a thermos maybe?
Me - Oh sweet the house is almost complete!
Adam - Yeah so that's the basement done.
I was thinking the exact same thing !
Dead lmao
haha good point! :D
I thought the same!
Ned G-M he had a freaking mansion for a house as a kid
YO RICH KID CHECK OUT YOUR BIG HOME!
+Talon Seitzinger haha
Damn, you beat me to it!
gg
+Talon Seitzinger Watch 12:53 :P
+Evren Uçar I know I was just joking haha
As an architecture student, it is highly pleasing when after so many months taking lots of time to even do a third of what he did, you start to notice how to work faster and better. Your awesome dude.
I'm an architecture student and I make with this stuff all day everyday. So fun to see a non-architecture channel make a model with it! House looks great!
You know what I love about Adam - his energy. As much as he is a skilled craftsman, this guy is a brilliant and energetic communicator. What a great guy
So true! Adam is just great
Yep ! I'm better though.
check out Colin furzes channel, it's great
love your vids JurassicCollectables
From what I know of him he's in a perpetual state of suspended exhaustion.
What I thought it was a big house turned out to be just his basement...
Marcos Vinícius Petri was searching for someone who felt the same way 😂😂
Marcos Vinícius Petri I know right
Marcos Vinícius Petri same
Marcos Vinícius Petri. ikr
honestly, aha geez
This reminds me of my mom when we were building a new house. She made some drawings to show what she wanted to the architect. He said he couldn’t do what she wanted so she rolled her eyes and came back with a model she made out of foam core. Turns out he could do exactly what she wanted
I would've put magnets on the corners of each floor so the house stays together but it isnt completely shut and is easy to open
You wouldn't do shit, that's a fact shit bird.
@@WILLYLYNCH. the fuck?
WILLY LYNCH ahahah fuckin idiot, people like you piss me off
@@WILLYLYNCH. You're a terrible person
@@WILLYLYNCH. LMAO!
no insulation, no dry wall, no plumbing or electric. its amazing the code inspectors allowed construction to continue.
XD OMG that's genius!
Not even a roof!!
Foam core IS insulation... as for the other stuff, well, why do you think it was so affordable?
Lolololol
And at the end he said his house was big... pfft yeah right my house is literally 24 times the size of that thing
Me: Hmm where's did I put my soda? Oh there it is...
Adam: NNNNOOOOOOOoooooooo...
w
oh wow im going to crush this can with my foot....

The 70's sounds like a great era to buy big houses
It was. The 1970s built some of the biggest commercial homes
People that bought houses then and are trying to sell them now are finding it difficult to sell their homes for 4.5 million dollars. Imagine that.
My folks bought a three story brand new house complete with gold shag carpeting and avocado appliances for TWELVE GRAND in 1970. They upgraded a few things like grass, fencing and a completed basement which brought the price up to 16 thousand dollars. My parents sold it for 25K after VN war ended. Today the house has been sold twice for over a half million dollars.
Yeah if you wanted a 17% mortgage rate it was awesome.
@@benrichey2593 Considering your average middle class wage could easily afford such a rate I'd take it!
The key element is time taken to pay it off.
But thanks to widening inequality, and property being used by the wealthy to stash their cash, owning a home is becoming more and more out of reach to many people.
me: "wow, thats a big house!!"
adam: "and thats the basement!"
yea lol i was like.. damn adam used to be just like me and then he said... HERE GOES TTHE SECOND FLOOR
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY "Damn, Adam was LOADED growing up". He fucking read my mind. Nice going, man
He always does this. I start to think something about the project and bam, answers it for me.
As an architecture student, when I saw his pencil I was like “Hells yeah! Blackwing!”
Ok
Architects would say, "This model is not complete without the roof, ground context and most importantly a figure to show scale."
absolutely
exactly
"Choosing the same foamcore thickness for all walls demonstrates a lack of understanding regarding building construction systems"
"Where is the North?"
"Using the same color and texture all aroundbreduces the general understanding of your design choices"
The list goes on forever,
- Most Architecture Schools everywhere
i guess adam grew up without a roof over his head
+Nick Revine Ba-dum-tiss.
+Nick Revine I thought the same thing
+Nick Revine He did say that they weren't rich. Roofs are expensive and lacking one made the house much more affordable.
+Nick Revine. I'd hope being a modeler at heart, he will one day finish off the house with a roof and cladding.
+Nick Revine lol I know this adam had a roof
My dad has said before that it figures the kid he never talked to in high school was Adam Savage.
epic fail
Liam Arduino ur dad is savage... u get it?
I loved this project and completed my own favorite childhood home, foam core model last week! Didn't have the benefit of blueprints, but with old family photos and Google Earth tools, I nailed it. Thanks, Adam!
adam:*puts blade in soda can*
2 hours later
*drinks soda*
Thanks now i have a image of adam swallowing a whole soda can in my head.
Right. Because Adam doesn't have the common sense to not drink out an empty can he just put an exacto blade in.
@@myfinalheaven9590 you're fun
It's a different can
im more upset that he throws away perfectly useable blades and probably has for a long ass time, just because it wont cut the soft material youre working with well doesnt mean it doesnt have another application
House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
wait...what
+DSMoe You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
+Riddla26 Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.

Adam is probably the most dedicated person I've ever seen, his hands are so steady, he's willing to put hours and hours of work into his projects and is so knowledgeable.
I’d love to see more builds like this! You have a whole chapter for cardboard in your book - so I’d love to see your process.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!
I just find this video to be extremely amazing. Thank you.
This inspired me to make a model of my own childhood home! I'm working on a 1:1 scale of the cardboard box I grew up in.
hahaha,,, so how do you plan on keeping the 1:1 home?
Karen, he's doing a 1:1 of a cardboard box.
Lmfao
Rpodnee
I myself am working on the trash can I live in. It’s going great!
★MineOrbit★ You still can’t keep a cardboard box inside a cardboard box
Adam's childhood basement is bigger than my entire house.
yuppp
+JordyNorm I dream about being able to live someplace as big as his basement.
It's not the size but how you use it ^_^
placid renegade I've been waiting for this comment. Nicely done.
Hey Adam, thank you for this and thank you for taking the time to clear the air about the house size. I think it serves to make you more relatable :)
That was freaking sweet! Thanks for taking us down memory lane Mr. Savage!! 👍
One dry scorchingly hot day, Adam Savage was on his way to work sees a young man who looks to be dishevelled and disorientated, Adam pulls up to this strange man and asks if he needs help, the man replies "Please sir, I have been lost in the desert for 2 and a half days, I'm hungry and very thirsty", unfortunately Adam has no food or water in his Prius. Adam being a great man takes this clearly distressed person to his workplace, on arrival Adam seats the mysterious guy in his workshop whilst he goes to get food and water. In Adams absence, the man sees a soda can sitting on a work bench, in his desperation to feel a liquid of any kind trickle across his lips, he lunges at the can of soda picks it up without thinking and presses the cold aluminium to his dry cracked lips, tips his head back and swallows what very little soda remained, suddenly...he realizes...he just swallowed 29 very sharp but not that sharp xacto blades; shredding his insides within moments, a splutter is heard and then a thud.
Adam returns gleefully with a hop in his step thinking he has just saved somebodies life, but oh boy, was he wrong.
This needs to be a movie.
I had the same thought. Storing those blades in a soda can will prove fatal one day or another. You don't even need a desperate man, just your regular moronic teenager.
*****
You are grossly underestimating what a regular moronic teenager is capable of.
besides, having one of those blades in your mouth is enough to cut you up REAL bad. it wouldn't be fatal, but it'd be very painful and very uncomfortable. in fact, trying to "spit it out" (which is what a regular person would reasonably do in that situation) would probably just put you at greater risk.
Great storytelling skills 😮😄👏
Just seeing Adam again is about to make me cry Mythbusters was my childhood :)
+TMP Productions™ Mythbusters only lasted 2 seasons.Then they got the "others" and the show was never the same or very scientific again.
+SuperDashRendar
doesn't matter.
i hope it will be replaced by something normal and not by pawn stars or ancient aliens
+SuperDashRendar Also, Dash Rendar was never and will never be canon.
Nice build and valuable time spent. Thank you.
Adam, you have brought so much fun and entertaining reality and science to so many of us...it is fun to watch you enjoying the fruits of your labor in a shop of your own, exploring the things that made you the artist that you are. Thank you. Sorry if I got a bit too wrapped up in sounding profound.
imagine a can full of those exact o blades and someone thinking it an empty one and trying to crush it
Brutal
+Michael Surridge or takes a big gulp of it
I am the unimaginable.

If you want to control a standard hot glue gun, you can use a ceiling fan dimmer circuit. Also works for soldering irons!
This ^
Nice! I have a lamp dimmer that I'm not using, I'm gonna try that.
Another thing I did was plug my gun into a socket with a remote, like the kind that people hook up xmas lights to. Works great for turning it off and on without reaching for the plug.... a remote with a dimmer would be amazing
What's the best glue for using poster foam board strips as a border against each other. I'm making 5ft mosiac letters to put balloons inside. People use hot glue but the Hot glue isn't working for me.
I was totally going to comment on your HUGE childhood home, but I'll save it because of your very reasonable explanation. Thank you for the excellent video Adam.
were going to be using 1 tool: the exactoknife.. *pulls out table saw*
I love Adam being "retired". A lot of content.
I wasn't wondering why it was so big, I was wondering why the fuck did it look so weird
jack duffy I was wondering the same thing, then I realized that it is probably because he didn't build the landscape around the house, and the first floor is a basement, so that probably attributes to the weird shape.
what looks weird about it?
jack duffy it looks odd because those are interior walls. there is no exterior skeleton that makes the house look comolete
That's what she said.
same reason, the 70's
WOW! So much work. Thank you for educating us.
man i love adam soo much he just gives a humble vibe
yo check out rich kid over here
+opsimathics lmfao
+opsimathics 13:10
Haha, yeah, sure :0
a year's salary was STILL a lot of cash to us poor folks...
+bob rew yeah, i don't even make 10k a year!
then again, i'm still a minor...
a one year salary in 2016 will buy you a 1 bedroom foamcore apartment at 1:24th scale in some shady neighborhood
+superkaboose1066 Yeah, and the question is: Why is that so?
+superkaboose1066 In Germany you are paying 30 years salary for a small house... growing strongly.
+Snooooozel yeah... Our 125 square meter house was pretty expensive... More so cause we live in Hamburg.
omg, at the time 1:24 in the video, he says 1/24 scale. hahaha
Depends where you buy...just paid 80k for 3400 sf, 5 /4 on and acre ...110 years old needing nothing more than time (stripping paint off woodwork etc)...in south Georgia...
That size a house was gotten on a middle class one-year's salary in the 70's?!
How freaking far we've fallen...
It's a big pit and we're still falling.. . ... .. . .. . . .. . .
Boomers are on the way out and when they go housing is going to collapse. Great to buy, gonna suck if you already own.
I truly enjoyed watching this video. Years ago I made a 1/12 foam board model of the apartment I grew up in. It was fun 😊
I love watching these one day builds. I need more
This brought back so many memories of being in Architecture school
Exacto
Oh my God! I'm looking in to this to build a house that I grew up in too! ❤
Love this! Getting ready to build dollhouse...very helpful-thanks soo much!!
This is the best series on this channel.
Thats a huge house you lived in! oh wait thats just the basement and first floor.. oh wait.. two more floors coming.. and only a years salary! what happened to our lives
He doesn't say what that salary was... Homes were indeed more affordable in that time, but one that size wasn't to many.
Where I live, the cost of housing has risen so much in the past 30 years, and the neighbourhoods have too. So my uncle bought a house in a kinda undesirable part of the city in 1970 for like $50 k. Now, the neighbourhood is a very affluent one and his house is worth about $2.4 million. This guy is so awesome that he refuses to sell his house to leave it for his kids.
Well, different country, but where I am house prices have become 10-15x more expensive in 20 years.
About a 10% (sometimes more) increase per year.
When you consider that wages often don't even keep up with inflation, that is one SERIOUS price increase.
For the US in particular I've seen stats that show that inflation-adjusted wages have actually been going down since the 1970's...
In other words, while your bank balance might be larger, your income in real terms (the stuff you can buy) has actually gone down, not up.
Prior to the 70's it was definitely increasing consistently, but after that point it's basically been stagnant/decreasing.
Depressing huh.
ZodiacProd, What happened was people bought into trickle down economics and income not keeping place with inflation and basically corrupt politicians not fixing the problem.
This is an excellent idea to build a physical model for a virtual memory palace. To get it in your head, so to speak. Thanks.
Amazing, it looks so Great ! I had built one by cardboard, the eadge looked bad and not satisfied of it, you finished it only one day, that's unbelievable.
Ahh, a one day build... the only reason I sub to this channel :)
+Max Klein not my only reason but a HUGE part of me subscribing xD
I love this project. So simple and so personal. As a model builder foam core and xacto knife are like canvas and brush.
That was pretty cool! One day I will attempt a home. Always admired them
My dad and I built a client's custom home (dad was an architectural designer) with this method. Dad used magic markers and glued cut out exteriors and interior walls for colors as well. Thanks for posting this Adam.
You can tell he wasnt rich because his house didnt have a roof.
LOL
They couldn't afford paint or furniture either. So sad.
And his house was just made out of foamcore hahhaha
Wadwizard ZOL not even windows or doors.
I know all these strungles...after Ken divorce me I live like a pauper...- Barbie
Great build. Now take pictures of textures like wood flooring, door trim etc. and print on card stock. Use post it note glue (comes in a glue stick at the office and art supply) so it's prepositional and isn't going to drive you crazy getting it down. Do the interior and exterior and it really will be an architectural model.
Broken Wave what has he done to deserve that? Maybe you should shut the fuck up
This brought back so many memories of my early childhood and my first attempts at designing and building a home. Though my only tools were styrofoam (looted from empty electronics boxes) and tape.
Wow! This is INCREDIBLE! I’m going to practice a bit w cardboard before I do the foam core, but we’ve recently retired and I’ll try this for a plan for a stone cabin I hope to build one day! (If not-I can dream about it!) Thanks!!
Holy crap. I think two of those boards would more than enough to build mine.
Yo rich kid! check out your big home!
Lol
I love this channel so much! Keep up the great content!
You and Jamie are the reason I majored in engineering... thank you so much for my childhood. Can't believe it took me so long to find you on TH-cam thanks to 3am vsauce videos!
Adams basement was bigger than my house! lol XD
Same
same, like 20 times bigger than my row home apartment.
same .__.
Its bigger than my appartment and the one next to ours combined! 😂
If this was 4 hours long, I'd still watch every second of it.
This is too short !
i love this band saw, it is so pretty, something so beautiful
It's always nice to see someone come from such humble beginnings and become so successful not because they had a network through their wealthy parents but because of their own hard work and a few lucky breaks.
He had a giant house, if I had to do this for my house I would be done in like 10 minutes
Everyone should have a 1/24 scale drawing (detailed) of the house they grew up in! Great video!
Thank you Sir for sharing your great ideas
Next you should add some neat smd white leds in every room with small wires and some furniture!
Foamcore is the lightest of the Metal sub genres .
+Jonano 12 It's also usefull when making aluminium stuff, just melts away! Oh yeah, I watch Grant Thomson! :)
I am doing the same kind of project with a house I grew up in as well. Takes you down memory lane for sure. With both parents now gone, I thought it would be the best way to show tribute to them. My siblings love the idea.. I will be watching for some tips :)
So great design of this foam board!
I built models like this in high school and in college in architecture school. I always just spray-mounted the floor plan directly to the base foam core, and cut out the floor footprint directly using a straightedge and the printed lines of the plan. That would have saved a lot of time.
+Patrick94GSR i dont know why the great adam savage didnt do that either.
I recently designed the house I'd like to own in Sketchup, and I kinda wanna try making it out of foamcore now.
+TheFancyUmbreon do it and come back and share it with us!
+TheFancyUmbreon 3D print it!
Mmm Sketchup
+TheFancyUmbreon you could have the design printed on A1 paper complete with the wallcoverings brick structure and stuff like that and stick those prints on the foamcore before cutting it out and glueing it together , if you make colourprints you could allmost end up with a dollshouse
when doing it this way youre prolly need to take the thicknes of the foamcore in accound if you buttjoin them together , then again you could make slantcuts and whont see any foamcore sticking out
you prolly need to stick the outside on cut it and then stick the inside up to have them alighn
+Olav Schneider that would be hella expensive. A much better route is laser cutting the parts out of cardboard/paper. I honestly love the laser cutter so much more than the 3d printer.
Im lucky to have them available to me in university, but if you do not have that try googling it. a lot of cities do have places that offer laser cutting that is priced per minute.
For me I get it for 1$ a minute, but the local shop does it for 1.5$ so a little bit more. if you are cutting paper or cardboard it won't be too much money. Foam core does not laser cut well though, the core shrinks under the paper making it not very structurally sounds. Another option would be to use a very thin wood.
Doing this at 1:24 scale is honestly insane from an architecture student standpoint typically make a model like this 4 to 8 times smaller
Dang he says 1:24 scale plan right at 1:24
@@tahsinzaman2193Adams such a little stinker lol
Wow that's amazing. I'd love to do something like this. Of course I'd go a step further and paint it and everything.
Everything is your favourite thing of all time Adam ;)
+Ross Bishop And he has a lot of friends.
+Ross Bishop Gotta love people that are enthusiastic.
that is a huge house but! wish we could have seen a photo of it
First, you grew up in an extraordinary house.
Second, I've built several foam core or cardstock structures in 1/87-scale (HO railway) with great success.
Third, I'm toying with a 1/24-scale structure to support my hobby work in the same scale and this video has been very helpful.
Thanks!
I would love to see an Adam Savage Masterclass!! That would be amazing.
That's a very different layout, would love to see some pictures.
The time-lapse music is funky as hell.
Excellent build Adam, well done.
That is awesome awesome awesome I admire the explanation at the end about the house in the 70s. Middle class people are my my people
Adam, I love what you do, however when I make a foam-core model, I use spray adhesive to glue floor plan onto the foam-core, this eliminates the transfer process and give you a much more accurate plan to build up from.
Yes!!
I just saw your comment - See mine above!
Had to build one of these last year in art class. But unlike you, I wasn't able to switch out the blade of the knife every 5 minutes, i had to use one that was already dull as hell for the entire project. It was a pain in the ass.
But the blades are not all that expensive. You can get a pack of 100 pcs for something like 10€.
It's trivial to sharpen a #11 on a whetstone, if you have one of those around.
i sharp my blades with a paper nail file.... works okay
I might have to try that.
I have a rotary cutter for fabric and I always use the file. Those blades are expensive and you want a sharp edge when you cut into layers of fabric :-) give it a try also on a side note- those files with 4 or more sides for nail buffering are quite good because you can use a different "grits"
My mom has made a few of these. She's mostly retired from building homes these days, but was a custom home builder and always drew the plans herself from scratch (she had an architect turn her drawings into real plans she could turn in for permits, but she originally drew them all by hand, not using a computer). On several of the really nice ones, including the house I grew up in, she put together foam core builds that were a similar (the same??) scale to this.
I just found this I'm making a 1/10 scale garage for my hobby room to display my 1/10 RC cars and trucks. And this is so much easier then thin plywood . Awesome video thanks for the ideas.
Adams basement is bigger than my house
True
Edward C same
Same
Edward C don't fill bad, he lives in San Francisco. Have you ever been to San Francisco? You couldn't pay me to live there.
1 year's salary. DAMN houses used to be cheap!
he's just lying, just leaving it out there.
+LT “John” YV
He's probably not
1 year salary for a rich person ye :p
He's probably filthy rich then.
Remember this was a new house in an unpopulated area. This means the land would have been cheap. Furthermore Wages used to be higher and everything cost less for everyone in the past. He is rich now though, because of mythbusters.
Your craftsmanship is needed in my projects.
such a great job....fabulous
The steel blocks with all the holes that Adam is using to hold the paper down, or the walls up, is a 1-2-3 block named because it is a 1"x2"x3" block of steel. Handy for what he is doing with them but really from the machine shop side of his cave. The holes are (typically) threaded to hold down things on the machine tools. Well Adam explains all this at 7:00 but I jumped the gun.
+cemx86 I'm glad you did. Now i don't have to look up why it's called a 1-2-3 block, or what it's specifically used for, because I was curious. I thought maybe the 1-2-3 had something to do with the size of the holes and wasn't sure what their purpose was
You don't need any special tools, just get your table saw and your industrial hot glue gun
I think the point of this video is that, you can go along way with alternative materials such as x-acto blade and dollar store glue guns
Yeah ik. It's just a joke
Elias Derry k
i love club penguin
He's not your buddy, pal!
VERY nice man! Beautifully done and quick too! I'm doing a model of a home I want to put on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean in Cyprus and got a lot of good tips from you....thank you! 😄
So inspiring to go create! You should add lighting! That would really make this project shine even more! Lol keep creating brother! Love the channel.
I need to build a foam house for school in a couple of weeks. This video could not have been timed better for me!
