Adam Savage's Cave Loft Tour!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2020
- Here are parts of Adam's workshop that most people don't know exist! Adam takes you on a tour of the cave's loft spaces, where he is reorganizing his workshop storage and many projects in progress. It's full of gear, materials, and interesting artifacts from Adam's shows and builds, all hidden away above the parts of the cave you've seen in Tested videos. Let's climb up the steep ladder staircase and explore this space--watch out for the low ceiling!

Having Adam making so many videos in this pandemic 2020 world has been one of the things preventing depression. Keep it up, team!
Just goes to show how the little things have the biggest impact
Yeah. And Maggie.
@@djdresden242 yea we need more of Maggie
Adam needs a bigger shop. Jamie's wall of storage is awesome.
@@kimmerykimv2181 I 11
2:15 "...I have all these helmets" Exactly 2 minutes later 4:15 "These are all head bangers, I have lots of marks across my head...." I might have a solution to your problems.
And @7:40 he hits one, all along I was hoping he would manage to avoid!
Maybe he should as a rule wear a helmet whenever he goes up there. I hope anyone who works with him wears a helmet when they go up there. He's familiar with the area and still bumps his head. Imagine going up there the first time you'd be hitting your head every seven feet or so.
@@ZachsMind The head trauma room.
@@ZachsMind He should, but it's unlikely he will. Just imagine how many years he's had this space and he still doesn't wear one.
You've definitely shown this before though. I distinctly remember seeing the bobblehead stuff in the loft in a video from years ago.
Yes, about to comment the same thing :) can't remember what video it was though.
@@TryingToBuildStuff I think it was just called workshop tour, from a few years ago now. Good to get an update every now and then.
@@MrDavidMcNick yup, found it! ;)
th-cam.com/video/l9AqYaSRjw0/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking the same thing! I totally remember seeing the first one... the second loft is new to me I think
Same here, he's definitely shown us the loft before. I distinctly remember him showing off the models he hopes to build in the future
About half way through it occurred to me that his storage went higher than the sprinkler heads.
Then I realized that the WOOD frame warehouse had NO sprinkler system.
I hope he is well insured, not necessarily for his causing anything, but he has neighbors.
Tested could run an auction just for the things that Adam wants to clear out of his shop, and be funded for years
:)
Take my money
Like seriously, a lot of things could be either auctioned for charity, or, auctioned as lots for local Makers if not donated outright, which also helps.
Ya how much for that cardboard rhino?
He has! I can't remember the details but I remember hearing in Still Untitled that he had done many auctions for charity of things in the cave he wanted to clear out. IIRC, those that gave the most money were even given a personal tour of the cave.
Or charity, I know of other groups auctioning off props/ signed merch for charity and I’m sure there’d be folks willing to bid on some of this stuff
I'm surprised he hasnt built a rope bridge between the two lofts!
That's something he could do with the duct tape.
I had a salvages section go wire bridge between my lofts. And it was all fun and games until i got caught one step into crossing, in the middle of an earthquake. Haven't used it since. :)
I agree with the use of the duct tape. Maybe he can make a smaller version of the one he and Jamie did during the second duct tape special.
@@matthewelliott7294 I suspect he's had his fill of duct tape but I like the thought lol
@@scaddc and jamie would never want to do that again
The "TOOLS ONLY" shelf, without a tool in sight.
I love how his face lit up when he heard Maggie.
Now we need a video tour of "Deep Storage" down the street..
Someone at OSHA just woke up in a cold sweat and doesn't know why.
Ahaha osha jedi awakening
@@alex0589 Have you felt it?
OSHA also felt a disturbance when they had the cannon ball incident.
"I don't know why I have a giant cardboard rhino." One of those sentences that has never been said before and only makes sense at this one singular point in time and space.
I make a motion that Adam finishes that Rhino. Is there a second to the motion?
@@peterkelley6344 Seconded!
@@davethekiwibloke The motion HAS been seconded. The floor is now open for discussion on the motion.
"That's my fridge, coughing up blood"
Up next on One Day Builds:
A fridge with a working blood dispenser!
We’ve seen the loft. The model kit storage area when Adam was looking for Greeblies for a kit bash he did a while back.
That’s what I thought! Plus, I thought that’s where his wardrobe archive was, too.
Correct as and I recall he had all those costumes were labeled in bags. Additionally there were a ton of mythbusters bobble heads up there as well.
Thank you! I knew that we saw it some time ago.
I was about to comment that and also the costume bags...
Yup. Here are the links with timestamps. Both from the same video.
Prior costume loft, now camera storage (above office) th-cam.com/video/l9AqYaSRjw0/w-d-xo.htmlm10s

It's almost unsettling how much I know about this man.
Right? And yet, we know nothing about him... I wish he was my dad or my uncle, I'd love to work with him on weekends
Haha I feel ya on that.
I think I could spend at least a week or so just poking around this shop and admiring all the hidden gems!
He takes hoarding to a whole new level! Literally, multiple floors.
Hoarding is a mental disease. This ain't that.
It's a makers paradise. It's not hoarding.
"I'm kidding, I'm only doing one take." - Adam Savage 2020
You forgot to add 2020 to Adam Savage.
I remember him showing the loft where he stored model kits for kit bashing. That was really cool... hmm, maybe that was a dream
Yeah, he did. He just forgot...
I knew I had seen him showing the loft :)
He totally did like 6 years ago or more. One of the early Jamie and Adam's Tested days
@@smeg0911 It was back in 2014 with his Cave Tour video...
th-cam.com/video/l9AqYaSRjw0/w-d-xo.html
That entire shop must be a crazy fire hazard 🔥🔥
Well that first loft made entirely of wood and filled with fabric and foam is above the fire sprinklers so I’d say it’s a huge fire risk
No matter how much space he has it will always be filled. That's the sign of a true builder/collector.
2:19 Adam needs an ewok playing drums on those stormtrooper helmets, like the later scene of Return of the Jedi
That would be an awesome one-day-build, and, looked like he had enough fur in the loft to achieve this!
⚠️ Caution: OCD and Minimalist people, watch with great care - you have been warned!
Or recovering horders
I love adam but his shop really gives me a spike in anxiety
most of his space is fine for me... but his display area... uggg... when ever he has people over or needs more space for a project.... it looks like he has to move SOOOO much stuff
Adam might be a hoarder lol. "I"ve never thrown out a pair of boots." WHY?!
@@taylor2668 You never know when you might need something like it.
I'm just loving the irony of mentioning all the foam in storage several times, and then shortly after hitting one's head on a beam. I think we found a great use for some of that foam. LOL. (And yes I agree, we've seen the loft or some version thereof before.)
to be honest... ever since the first episode of mythbusters I have become a fan of Admam... all he does, his knowledge, his videos, his yt channel... everything has educated me so much... and he's a freaking nerd like me... please never quit. we need you Adam, thank you for everything from the bottom of my hear.
I know all your props are your creative fuel but i dont think youd need a new shop if you moved that stuff somewhere else. In fact, it would be awesome if you and your fellow peers made a prop making museum and you donated/stored some props there. It'd also be a place where you can have seminars for makers. Call it the makers mecca. instructions! Half built props explaining steps!
The Makecaa
Yeah! That's what you need Adam. Another project!
that would be cool
Did we ever had an Episode on why he own so many Bicycles?
Btw: Instead of wrapping all the tubes in foam, you should just hang a Motorcyle Helmet near the Stairs :D
Right! It is not like he doesn't have any helmets kicking about the shop. I think I did see one.
I'd say a bicycle helmet myself, smaller and has better visibility and more than good enough. :)
Good point - hey Adam how about a show and tell on your bicycles ?
Wrapping the tubes in foam is done to make it OSHA compliant.
@@hauptmanndosman or six.
"We haven't started to fill this." YOU DON'T NEED TO FILL EVERY EMPTY SPACE, lol.
Exactly! The two commandments of organization: 1) A place for everything and everything in its place 2) Leave empty space so you can add more stuff without constantly re-organizing
What's the point of space if not to hold things.
“Pulp Fiction bottles”
Now I’m intrigued.
yes what is it, precious ?
Every time I feel bad about my garage I am going to watch this and then accumulate more things.
I'm sure we have seen your loft in past program. There was a lot merchandise from myth busters and costumes. Great to see again. stay safe J.
o? Must every inaccurate (perceived or otherwise) statement be corrected? It just doesn't matter.
I think the difference is that now you can see hints of the walls and floor.
We saw those lofts in the Cave Tour video. They had different stuff in them back then..
@@watcherofwatchers You must be new to the internet.
@@watcherofwatchers "Uh whaa?" Quote from the movie Jaws
I love all the nooks and crannies in the shop. Giant costumes and dummies looming in the shadows, untold riches in the loft, how I wish I lived on the west coast. You sir, are awesome.
Alternate title: Adam tries to justify his hoarding behavior.
Jokes aside though it must be great to have rapid access to so many tools and so much material. Nothing kills the creative flow as much as having to go out to get a few stray materials. Love the shop and am looking forward to seeing it more organized. Wonder if we could get a tour of the deep storage though... there must be some hidden wealth of things there.
I think we have actually seen that before. I believe you showed the area including where you stored the un-built scale models.
he did i watched it yesterday haha
Exactly, I remembered that too :^)
I remember that years ago he had a loft with racks of costumes
i remember that too
yeah. i remember the rack of costumes video and those Adam and Jaime bubble-heads too
Anyone else wouldn’t mind Adam just continueing to make these kinds of videos on his own without all the fancy editing and camera work it just makes it feel more personal to me lol
That's how he does it, usually, no? Years ago he used a cameraperson but nowdays he can do it by himself, which is handy in pandemic times
The lack of fire separations in the party walls separating the suites gives me nightmares.
Brad Stapleton I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a (very needed) fire inspection. Thin thin line from type 1 hoarder
@@thorzyan Didn't realize there were levels to this sort of thing until looking it up, fortunately I'm only a level 1 myself. For those interested in what level they are: www.post-gazette.com/local/north/2010/12/02/Levels-of-hoarding-some-guidelines-for-recognizing-the-problem/stories/201012020349
Rich Wojehowski any creative person worth their salt should be in the type 1 range. Why clean when you can get more stuff! I totally get it; my mind is visual too. I need everything out and on display or else I forget about it. It's like a portion of your memory can be used less to remember where things are if they're always out in the same place. You either get it or hate it. Ex wife certainly did 🤣
Oh you have seen nothing.
@@thorzyan The fact it annoys people makes it all the better.
Like not removing the plastic on anything.
Let's get Adam a Go-Pro. I think having him film when he is working from his actual point of view would be interesting for some shots. Also I would like to add that I agree with many commentators. This pandemic has been such a dark time, seeing Adam with his constant upbeat energy and projects has kept me sane. No matter how bad the day is ... there is something going on at the Savage Cave that will cheer me up for a while.
I am no longer calling my basement "The Basement." It is now my "Savage Space".
Adam's enthusiasm and pure love energy is something I aspire to have one day.
Your videos are so uplifting during these times.
I got onto making electronics and soldering because of his videos. They kept me busy and not thinking about the state of our nation. Thank you Adam. You've truly inspired me and millions of others.
I think TH-cam is powered in the background purely by Adam's energy - always enthused, always on the go - its so intoxicating! Thanks for making these awesome vids!
“Things I need for projects” “these shoes from 2003”
Adam, thank you so much on taking us on the tour! I know there are very few people that can really appreciate what kind of material storehouse is needed for all of the different types of crafting and building that you do. Really thrilled to see the ultimate mancave you have assembled. Can't wait to see more of the "lofty" organization in the future. Love you man, one of my favorite people on the planet.
This place needs to be turned into a museum one day.
I want Adam to live forever, because this is one hell of a list of todos, and I want future generations to enjoy his enthusiasm!
You did do a tour of the loft on Jul 10, 2014
. It's great to see the changes.
This reminds me of George Carlin's "A Place for My Stuff" routine. The loft gets full so Adam has to move some of the stuff to another storage space, and so on and so on...
This world needs an Adam Savage museum to show all this stuff
What I wouldn’t give to enter the cave for just an hour... pure heaven
You could spend a hour just stepping in the door way and looking around
This was so GREAT!!! Thanks for the tour and more in depth maybe “sectional” tours with more detail / stories? You & the team have helped lots of folks stay sane during these weird and unprecedented times. ❤️❤️❤️
You're making 20 survival kits!?
Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
I'm impressed with how nonchalantly Adam can climb that ladder.
As a former professional organizer (assistant, but that counts!), it does my heart good to be able to see that loft's floor! I've been in messier and worse-organized spaces, and lemme tell ya, with the basic 'all the things in this box are similar' model, you can GO FAR. It's very tempting to make piles up to the ceiling, but never - NEVER - underestimate how clear floor space will make you feel! That level of inspiring and energizing?? Second to none!
most important thing shown: Adam's snapple supply.
"One of the reasons people find this terrifying is because - when you look down this ladder, you're looking down the throat of the rest of your life"
**sprints down ladder at full speed without holding onto anything**
As a disabled person that had tinges of terror to me!
Adam, you really really really need a permanent museum exhibit of all your terrific artifacts! I know it’s expensive to do but It could be straight forward and simplistic. We’ll be your first customers. 😃
Reminds me of the space station where every nook and cranny is filled with stuff from floor to ceiling. It's amazing that you know what and where everything is. Love it!
Now since you’ve shown us you’re on the hook to keep at the “work in progress”. I like your channel because it’s not just tips and tricks, but it’s exciting and inspiring to see you get excited and inspired about stuff! Thanks!
So happy that you are making progress on something that seems to have been a bother to you for so long, and , making the shop more functional, to boot :)
Wow, it would be amazing to see all the props Adam made! That’s probably several decades worth of movies.
“That’s my fridge, coughing up blood.”
I love the face he makes after saying that.
Man. I really hope, for the preservation of these historical artefacts, that you've got a good fire suppression system installed! An amazing collection of awesome stuff. :)
I second that concern. I see few fire extinguishers. There should be one on each wall in each area. Also, no sprinkler system.
The irony is that its a converted firehouse, IIRC.
We saw the loft years ago when you did a full cave and loft tour.
Not everyone saw that video, tho I remember it too. I would like him to do a tour on a semi annual basis. No harm in that numbering a regular thing. I'd also be okay if he started a series of videos where he focused on one part of the space in more detail.
The coolest thing is that each one of these items, bins, or boxes has a story behind it and the value isn't necessarily in the object itself, but the experience or narrative that goes along with each of these builds. Such a neat place. Thanks for sharing.
Turn it into an oldschool lounge with a whisky/jazz vibe. A relaxed backdrop for talk shows.
Okay... now I want a step-by-step, piece-by-piece 3 hour shop/office/museum tour please. Thx. ;)
3 hours won't be enough to cover everything.
If you want to hear the story behind every piece, it would have to be a six season series with 12 episodes in every season. And i would totally watch it.
"I get tired just looking at it... what to move around..." Yeah, I feel that bigtime.... I've been putting off rearranging my disaster of a livingroom/workshop for years now, and every time I look at it, I just feel absolutely exhausted.... and put it off longer.
What a top Human Being you are Adam. I'm currently wading through all the Mythbusters series' nightly on Amazon Prime..endless entertainment. Keep up the good work.
When Adam said "Head banging pipes", I WAS SUPER EXCITED TO LOOK AT THE SCREEN AND SEE ORGAN PIPES!
Never has man encountered such defeat.
As a firefighter… this space makes me nervous.
As a non firefighter this space makes me nervous.
Indeed. Fire would have a nice home there.
@@jfbeam oh, please no foreshadowing. In our station (yes, Germany) this costs a beer crate, if something happens then.
@@the_jcbone it’s like the taboo of saying ”it’s quiet” when working in a hospital
As a space this firefight makes me nervous.
This loft is the size of where my girlfriend and I live. Student life man :P. If my workshop is a quarter as cool as yours one day, I'll be a happy man
AND he’s in San Francisco. TV money does great things
It's a low ceiling but by no means a small space. Much bigger than what I lived in as a student.
I simply love you're enthusiasm and joy of what you do.
After seeing all of this I could get lost for days just wandering around seeing all of the amazing items in the collection.
Adam's display area with all of the stuff hanging from the ceiling reminds me ot the Mercer Museum in Doylestown PA. He would have a blast there.
We saw the loft a long time ago... in your Cave Tour video.
I love everything about this. Thank you Adam, from a life long fan
Thanks for showing your Workshop Loft , Adam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I can just imagine being able to hang out and make stuff with Adam. That would be a dream
I'm having the exact same thoughts with each ODB and Tour videos I watch. :D
Awesome tour!!!
Gods, reminds me of going through the salvage yards around the Bay area in the 80's. Aerospace, electrical and mechanical stuff out the wazoo. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Thank you for the awesome tour Adam. It would be great to see a side-by-side comparison of the before, and after progress that you have made. Keep it up!
9:29 I’m reporting Adam to the USPS for those unreturned parcel carriers. lol
There's always someone who has to say it. Always.
@@watcherofwatchers Dude you've been spamming these comments all day what is your fucking problem
@@watcherofwatchers "Uh, whaa?" Movie quote from Jaws
I'm here for more Maggie related content! :D
Mold making! I bet many followers would enjoy ODB using silicone, maybe build a mold box and demonstrate the degassing process etc... and thanks for the tour, great materials organization!
I've wanted to see in the loft for so long. After hearing you describe the function to each space in the cave I'm inspired like never before to design the layout and function of my dream shop.
I was so expecting a Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation scene when he pulled down the stairs. And did i see a camera case with the name Tippett on it? Does Phil know you have his case??
We have seen the loft before. "Tour of Adam Savage's cave!" 10 July 2014
So? Must every inaccurate (perceived or otherwise) statement be corrected? It just doesn't matter.
@@watcherofwatchers Must you write this on every comment that does this. It doesn't matter. Also, this is the internet. Corrections are going to be made in the comments. It shows the viewer has been paying attention for a long time.
@@watcherofwatchers no but it can be useful for people who want to see what it was like before or comfort for people who think they're going mad because the could have sworn they'd seen it before and want to refinde that video
@@IsYitzach well, considering the same comment was made repeatedly, yes.
I just watched your other tour & someone was kind enough to link to this one. Loving your energy & excitement in your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sir.
If the apocalypse ever happens... 100% going with Adam cause he has everything you will ever need...
Hey, almost of your lifesaving, "soft-good," nylon rigging equipment should be retired after about 5 years, if not sooner. Not sure how much you still use any of it, but love ya too much not to mention it.
Most manufacturers say 10 years now, but absolutely correct. It was the first thing I thought of when he showed that!
More like this please! :)
I was going to comment that you should always go down a ladder backwards so you're facing the ladder, that way you have something to hold onto (or grab onto if you start to fall). Glad to see Adam did this when coming down from the second loft.
I’ve worked in San Fran for years. I’ve seen your cave entrance and have seen you enter it a couple times but always respected your space. I can’t wait to see you in public again on a build
I have a question that you can skip if you choose. During your time with Mythbusters - How much did Jamie influence your organizational scheme(s) in your current life? Thanks in advanced.
Adam: "You've never seen the loft before"
Me: Cool vid
TH-cam: Wanna watch this cave tour vid from six years ago?
Me: Sure.
Adam: "You've never seen the loft, let's go have a look."
Me: Huh.
Love how much has barely moved. The whole English Wheel thing, "maybe next year"
Congratulations on your Open Spaces! Aren't they wonderful? I wish you many more as you continue on your journey towards better organization.
It's strange how I'm doing the exact same between my three storage units today, I feel your pain and relief Adam. Happy sorting!!
Adam: I wish I had a space to work on my land cruiser.
Also Adam: Look at my huge display area crammed to the brim with odds and sods.
Don't know if anyone has suggested look at getting the test tubes etched with tested. Then you would have tested test tubes.
Could you test testosterone in your Tested test tubes?
Looks so warm and cosy feels like a safe place
Adam, dude, I honestly think that I am as much of a fan of you & your awesomness, as you are the worlds most organised pack-rat!!! Brother!!!! There comes a time when you gotta get ruthless & scrap-the-crap you most likely wont ever get around to!! It hurts, I know! But it needs to happen! BTW... You ROCK!
