Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Everyday Carry Bag!

Adam's latest one day build is a very personal project: making a custom version of his new EDC TWO bag using the patterns he's putting out into the world. Marcos from Mafia bags stops by to guide Adam through some of the intricacies of sewing sailcloth and giving the bag a distinct look!

What happened to the bag? I went to buy and there are only t shirts on your website

[@TofuRabbit]

The fact that you're selling plans and encouraging people to build their own is honestly so awesome. Buying something and be done with it is great, but actually making it yourself is such a fulfilling and satisfying process. Thanks for spreading the message.

[@Rozbujnik_Rumcajs]

Dave Rabbit Price tag on plattern is ok, but cost of delivery is ridiculous.

[@njones420]

niche reference ... :) glad i listen to "no such thing as a fish"

[@wwaxwork]

Buy the pdf then.

[@UNSCPILOT]

And DIYing it lets you customize it like adding liners and insulation, extra pockets, or even gets some custom printed fabric so litteraly no one else has stuff like yours

[@peterw8835]

It is also really nice for people not in the USA, and/or for 95$ is still a huge amount of money but buying fabric and leather is easy and affordable.

[@stuartedge]

This made me appreciate so much more how much sewing work goes in to everyday items I use.

[@lukasmakessomething7322]

Joe H how long does a belt take?

[@RFC3514]

@Joe H - The point of leather belts these days isn't really durability, though. There are synthetic materials that will outlast them, while being much faster / easier / cheaper to make. It's mostly about aesthetics, same as with mechanical watches. @Stuart Edge - Most of the items you use are probably mass-produced, though. That means the patterns are die-cut (in less than one second) and then assembled by professional seamstresses who can probably pop one out every minute (the handles will usually be made by a machine, and there are special sewing machines for zippers, that will do each side in a single pass instead of three). So, yeah, there is a lot of sewing, but production scales up very efficiently.

[@RFC3514]

@Joe H - I'm not saying leather isn't durable. I'm saying it's not cost-effective if _all_ you want is durability. You can get equivalent (and even higher) durability from cheaper materials. They just don't look or feel as nice as leather.

[@RFC3514]

I have synthetic tool belts that I've used for over 15 years. They've been abused, scraped against walls, left out in the sun and rain, etc., and are still going strong, with zero maintenance. They did not cost anywhere near 100 dollars, and I'm sure they didn't take five days to make. And nowadays there are even better materials and more efficient factories. Some of the stuff being mass-produced today for a few cents would have been considered space-age a couple of decades ago. Your last sentence confirms what I wrote above: people are willing to pay more for leather due to aesthetics and craftsmanship. Same as for mechanical watches vs. digital watches. The digital watches get the job done (accurate time measurement) just as well or even better, they just don't look as nice. Your business model is fine as long as people continue to care about how they look. And you can always sell them multiple belts with different carvings, different buckles, different types of leather, etc..

[@salxandra]

My dog's collar made by a crafter who makes them for pit bull strength dogs is 10 years old and still beautiful and working well. Yes I spent more for the leather and the pretty heart conches and other bling. (My dog is 65 pounds and a girl). No nylon collar has lasted longer than a year. The crafter will make modified collars for Chihuahuas where obviously it's more of a fashion statement than function. Honestly, I bought my dog's collar as a fashion statement only to find out th at the durability value alone was with the cost

[@caloss2]

Adam just has this insatiable enthusiasm for everything he gets involved in, it's fantastic to watch.

[@metanumia]

And that's one of the primary reasons why everything he makes is of superb quality! :)

That's the only reason why i subscribe to this channel.

[@d1rcwill]

It's pure enthusiasm and love. Already made plans with my gf to build this or the edc1. Her step dad has an ooold mg and could do with a bulletproof tool bag

[@frankierzucekjr]

He's like a big kid. Such a joy to watch everything he does and he's always willing to learn and teach. We really need Mythbusters to come back. I learned so much growing up. Damn I miss that show

[@HouseNightingale]

I just started sewing at 31, and it’s absolutely terrifying to me, because everything I’m learning is from KZbin. Watching you go through this, and showing the whole process from beginning to end the way you do, it gives me confidence in my own work. You are a huge inspiration to me, and I started creating because of your videos. When I’m painting or sewing now, I’m always watching your videos in the background

[@romans6405]

Just watched a man build a bag for 40 minutes... Absolutely no regrets.

I love how much Adam and his crew support open source creating. You can buy one pre-made if you want, or if you feel like challenging yourself and maybe saving some money, make it yourself. All of the open source models and such that he's built are really amazing as well.

[@misterjazzman98]

It's great that Adam is always smiling while he's working on his projects. Really shows how much he loves what he's doing.

[@ShinobiEngineer]

Adam's energy and passion is highly contagious... I wanna build something right now ! ! !

[@prmery9862]

Marcos seems to be such a nice guy, very informative and down to earth. Great video both of you

[@syntheticsolace]

I love the balance of dialog to quiet moments(sounds of working) in the one day build videos...its actually very peaceful watching these build videos

[@frankiespankie86]

It’s fascinating to watch Savage work, he knows how to use tools and when to use them, but it’s also a treasure to watch him work whilst someone is showing him how to make/create something, he’s a real student of learning !!!! Damn it I appreciate this man a lot !!!!

[@fannymorein]

Seeing Adam so excited to learn is very motivating, everyone should approach something new like that. I mean just look at his smile throughout the video!

[@maxximumb]

Excellent video. Also much applause for the camera work. I can finally watch a Tested video without feeling motion sick and close ups for all the detail work. Brilliant job folks.

[@me-qx2rp]

I can't believe I watch near 40 minutes of sewing, and enjoyed it immensely. I have a feeling I can watch a 4 hour video of you watching paint dry and you would make it interesting, informative, educational, and entertaining. You have a gift my friend, I doff tip my hat to you sir. /bow

[@boshnigity]

I have the utmost respect for people like Adam that can build things like this from plans and out of thin air. Awesome job as always!

[@pupeno]

What a treat to see Adam not knowing how to do something and learning! It's great to see someone that's always having the solution and teaching, switching to student so easily.

[@MrWIbackpacker]

Wish I would have seen this video earlier! I am a chef, and this is a perfect bag to put a knife roll inside, along with other tools, notebooks, etc, and sail cloth will stand up fantastically well in a kitchen!

[@AlasdairGR]

It’s a testament to the editors, production team, and Adam to make these builds seem so fluid and seamless the whole way through. The transitions and cuts are really subtle and not distracting and really help bring you metaphorically into the shop with them.

[@notbenh]

I really love watching Adam learn from Marcos. The one-day builds are fun and all but I'd also love to see a series where Adam visits work shops and learns how they preform there work.

[@spinakker14]

"I suffer from a complete lack of institutional knowledge. I just sort of brute force and KZbin it" But Mr Savage, you forget that ton of practical experience and knowledge that you do have. So it's far from brute forcing

[@marcussmithereens-smithert5409]

02:17 - Adam has a tool for literally everything...

[@insederec]

If you're gluing anything flexible ever, you need a brayer

[@barnesinister7]

Exiled Mind Well it's not a figurative workshop is it?

[@kaileymo]

Insederec I'm more of a burnisher gal myself

[@thenineteenth9135]

I'm sure he also doesn't have a tool to teach people that the word literally has been used figuratively for hundreds of years, and is used that way in many literary classics.

[@jayhitek]

Sadly I have one of those too. But it was because a roofer left one at my office one time and never came back for it.. free tool! (that we paid $2500 for)

[@TJtheBee]

Fourteen minutes in, and I’m already reminded how muchI love your process and approach to pretty much any making. You’re precise, and thoughtful, and you’re giving it full attention despite that it’s usually a skill viewed as feminine. You’re not giving it any less respect than you would a project on Mythbusters or in cosplay; you’re present with the process and involved in the creating. This is why you are one of my favorite makers and artists.

[@TJtheBee]

Oh! And if you’re giving this away - idk why, you’ve made your own personalized bag! - let me know! I’d love to partake in a giveaway of one of these!

[@audreymoon7269]

As someone who is really into sewing this video was crazy to me. Adam takes on sewing with a completely different approach. He doesnt use pins, markers, or scissors. Instead he uses clips, a punch, and an exacto knife. It was a little painful watching them cut up the original pattern to make a copy but hey Adam you do you. Also, a popular trick that we in the sewing community use is to get yourself a foam/cork top table. You can easily pin the fabric down flat onto the table and it makes it easy to cut/alter your patterns. This way you dont need 2 people to hold down your fabric and pattern. Just stick some pins through the whole thing and you're golden. Foam is super cheap to buy at any craft store. You can just clamp the foam down to any table top for a temporary push pin table.

[@knminp]

To be fair pinholes in that type of material are undesirable and permanent, wonder clips are great! I use them too when I'm lazy. Adam should have made good use of the free arm on that janome though

[@sgtdiddle]

Why does this video make me feel like Adam is so much more likely to hurt himself with a sewing machine than he is with a band saw?

[@barneymiller7894]

LOL so true

[@UNSCPILOT]

Sewing machines need you to keep two or more prices of fabric pinned together and aligned while pushing it towards a sharp needle, at least with a band saw you usually only need to control one item at a time xD

[@AlasdairGR]

Being a woodworker, I can confirm I feel completely comfortable getting my hands quite close to the blade of the bandsaw to make certain cuts. I don’t know why, I just am. (Experience is probably the most likely reason) But the thought of getting my fingers anywhere near the foot of the sewing machine makes me cringe so hard. I’m sure if I sewed more I’d be more comfortable.

[@miguellat5480]

5:28 "if a part moves, we're screw...in trouble"

[@jacquesaalders2224]

I just love how enthusiastic Adam is about learning things or teaching us how to do stuff!! He really reminds me like on of those amazing teachers who make every subject awesome!

[@urcutejeans-]

watching adam do a one day build is like the equivalent to watching bob ross paint. it’s beautiful every. single. time. adam starts with nothing and then all the parts and pieces start coming together & you watch it become something. always something incredible. thanks, adam, for all the inspiration you’ve given me.

[@Meg_A_Byte]

I got into sewing a few weeks ago and I found this quite interesting and helpful. That sharpie trick is awesome. I love learning new skill even when I'm almost done with university.

[@RyNsWoRLD]

>I love learning new skill even when I'm almost done with university. the stuff you learn in uni vs out is about 1:100

[@fakename287]

@@IAteFire objectively wrong lmao

[@IanTheWoodchuck]

I think it's hilarious that you mentioned the NASA sewing machine, because my sister does upholstery, and we had a similar epiphany when she found an old cast-iron Singer machine that we know was used to make World War II canvas goods (Tents, GMC CCKW cargo covers, etc.), and we nicknamed it "El Jefe" (The Boss). It was a belt-drive model with a 220v motor for leather seaming, and I retrofit a 110v 1/2 HP, since she didn't have a 220v service line. El Jefe's setup (Machine/table/motor) was easily a 300lb setup and required 3-4 people to move. Seeing EDC-2's pattern makes me want to let The Boss have a go at stitching one up!

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

Seeing Adam at a sewing machine is quite savage. Love the passion he has for every project. Many KZbinrs try and fake it, but Adam actually is 100% invested in the current project. Great mentor and example.

[@ADPvisuals]

36:10 looks like he's hammering his watch😂

I think it's cool how Marco's watches but doesn't hover over him and when he needs him hes right there patiently waiting

[@quaraeasaurustex1823]

I find it amazing watching Adam move throughout his workshop. he knows exactly where everything is and often is already on a machine before he even has time to explain what he's doing. It just amazes me

[@wallyhall]

In a (western) world and generation where all we seem to do it spend our energies and time arguing about whether things like sewing are “women’s work” or not - Adam sits down and just gets on with it - and more than that - exposes his utter respect for anyone who’s traditionally learned and executed such an incredibly difficult skill to perfect. I enjoyed that.

[@mccheeseburger01]

I watched two men make a handbag for 40 minutes and enjoyed it.

[@TheBigburcie]

mccheeseburger01 Nothing girly about it. That was some precision engineering and some muscle power to make that.

[@WynneEden]

heh. I've made almost identical bags without the zipper (usually without a shoulder strap) and always called them "Rigging bags" or "tool bags"

[@thisismysea]

@@TheBigburcie So would it be a waste of time if it was girly? Are engineering and muscle inherently not girly and/or better than whatever you would consider girly? You sound like a real piece of shit.

[@scottwpilgrim]

Have you never seen an English gentleman use a valise or a doctor using a physician's bag? The purses and handbags we see women use today were originally made and designed for professionals to use. To think it's girly is insulting to professionals, men or women.

It always catches me off guard how long to takes to sew just one item

[@outlandishprofessor]

My wife, a seamstress with more than 35 years of experience, says to put the handles on before you put the rest of the bag together. She also thinks that some of the stitching around the top of the bag would have been easier if you had done it before you turned the bag right side out. Great bag, and we loved watching Adam put it together!

[@DevinGanger]

Just ordered the plans for both EDC One and EDC Two, as well as a few of the bag patches, so I can work on some gifts for friends and family. No time like the present to work on my sewing skills! Thank you for making the plans available, Adam, and for being such a vocal proponent of always being willing to learn new things.

[@Sam-de6qx]

Hey Adam, you should attach or print the pattern on wax paper. It will stick to the fabric once you iron it and it can be easily removed once your done.

[@barneymiller7894]

10/10 pattern hack lol

[@cherokee1995]

Better yet, butcher paper. You can trace your pattern onto it and iron it on (not sure it would stick to the sailcloth) and it's reusable.

[@Littlefieldpaints]

What side do you iron for this trick? The wax paper side on top of the fabric or do you lay the fabric on top of the wax paper and iron the fabric? I'm sure I can Google it faster than your response...I just figured I'd add to the conversation and help this tip get to the top above the people complaining about the price of the bag. 😅😉

[@cherokee1995]

@@Littlefieldpaints I use it wax side down on the wrong side of the material.

[@GEKGanon]

Keep being awesome, Adam. I wish all the joy in the world for you, sir.

[@trishH2O]

I impressed that Adam was able to coax his machine along. Gentle yet encouraging. GOAT

[@pliskinn0089]

Adam can you make the Foam Can that Dennis Nedry uses to steal the embryos in Jurassic Park ? Its my favorite prop ever.

[@Chukijay]

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I’m glad Adam is branching out into products more. He’s always eluded to wanting to. I’m still waiting for his socket retention system he mentioned years ago when Still Untitled was more shop-talk and less echochamber. This bag is cool. It’s not for me, I find more function out of my backpack, but this is a neat bag. Good product, good idea, more or less renewable (at least its recycled from something already produced), American made (I think), and it fits a purpose Adam had and he’s sharing that solution with everyone, albeit at a HUGE price tag. On the other hand, this is essentially a lightweight/light-duty bag, about the size of a general purpose tool bag you’d get at Harbor Freight or anywhere else. It’s $145. The original EDC bag is $245+! What warrants the price tag in these? Savage making a boutique nerd bag and what else? If you didn’t tell me it was Savage making it and I didn’t know, I’d say it’s a beach bag I’d pick up at Ross for $15. Some will love it, and that’s fine. They’re more than welcome to and I applaud them if they like it. It’s just not for me. I’d rather spend $25 on an arguably heavier-duty bag and spend the rest of the money I’d save from not getting Savage’s bag on tools. I do like the fact he’s selling the plans, but I feel like a lower price on some digital plans may be more efficient. Even hard plans, because some people would like to have them, could be cheaper. I’m sure they’ll make their way out in the wild though.

[@thecultureisdestoryingthew5748]

J W adam is just selling out because of his name. Thats why the price is stupid expensive. He didnt even know how to make a bag before this video and they sold 1000 bags. Apparently he never knew how to make any. Hes just a buisness man it seems like. Sadly

[@Actimus123]

You're sad.

[@Chukijay]

Angry Sun how am I sad?

[@Chukijay]

LateNight Vape Podcast I wouldn’t call a business venture selling out, but I would agree that he knows putting his name on a product means something to at least some people. I submit that he probably could have made a bag, whether it was following a plan or not. He’s been doing this sort of thing for decades. He could figure it out.

[@TheMyeloman]

I’d recommend rewatching the video while,keeping in mind the effort he puts into making it. Then factor in the material, reclaimed or not I don’t imagine a sail is cheap. If they truly are made in America you can at least triple the price, if not more. This ain’t made in Chinesium stuff, American workers have American bills to pay. If they’re made in San Francisco, well you’re getting a helluva bargain at twice what they’re selling for. Bottom line- anything not mass produced costs more, anything handmade costs more yet. If this was a product you were selling, what would you think of the price. There is literally SO much other stuff to factor into the price of a product beyond materials and labor. I build handmade furniture and when I quite a price on something I’ve done my homework factoring in the cost of materials, my labor for every step including any drawings, milling the lumber that I’ve hand selected for best quality, color, and character, the expenses of running the shop like electric and heating/cooling, tool maintenance and any sundries like hardware, glue, finishing supplies… It’s not “just a $25 bag” made in China by child laborers working for pennies a week… I’d dare say this bag will last just as long as your “heavy duty” bag too, if not longer. You get what you pay for. Take it or leave it, but bitching about the cost won’t change the price.

I totaly love Adam ,he is a great guy,comitted and dedicated to his work,to his own creations... Well I know this was a collab, but from other vids,he just makes it so easy to make some preety hard things,and he never gives up! So I just today started following his YT channel and would love to do some of his things ,but as we all know,we all need a lot,a lot ,a lottttt of tools and sweat,and blood to make this happen... My only wish is to collab with Adam for one straight week and make something just like this,but more complex and one of a kind. So we both have one ,two of a kind things that we are proud that made/make it!!! It would be a long week,but well worth it and for starter we can make a like two one / two of a kind puzzle boxes out of wood,some nice wood,with some ancient locks and tricks...man...we could make a hell out of nothing! Thats whats great about Adam!!! Like that guy a lot!!!

[@tachi98lep]

How about making an Indiana Jones bag for modern day use.

[@wafgunn2]

Best idea oml

[@davebell4917]

The base for the Indiana Jones bag is a British Mk VII Gas Mask Bag from the middle of WW2. There were a lot of variations in colour and detail. The webbing strap was replaced by a leather one for the movies. Basic research info is here. www.indygear.com/igbag.html The shape is, very roughly, 10 inches square, 3 inches thick, and there can be various internal dividers. I am not sure how you would assemble the panels because of the dividers. Practically, the "Indiana Jones" tag means that there are a lot of lookalikes out there anyway, and with a little luck you can still find originals. Making your own would be a good first step for making up your own pattern. Look at pictures and you will see some neat tricks in the construction.

[@UNSCPILOT]

@@davebell4917 maybe instead of deviders just have pockets attached to one side and the other side open for larger items

[@mikeoliver6742]

Adam, what you need is a Singer 301. It's a 1950s direct-drive slant needle with a shock absorber in the drive gear, made entirely of cast alloy in thick enamel. The industrial Singers they use in production still use the same mechanics; it'll sew through anything and it's basically indestructible. Only got the one stitch, though :P

[@mmseng2]

Love it, but I kind of cringed when Adam cut out that tiny piece right out of the middle of an otherwise perfectly good giant swath of fabric.

I think he wanted the compass of the sail cloth so there's a design on his bag. This is Adam we're talking about though, I'm sure he'll find a use for the rest of the cloth.

SoupFork but most countries have photocopy stores that could print them.

[@colleennikstenas4921]

Mark Wilko Good idea... but to print might be hard on normal printers. Would an office print store be able to do cheaply maybe? would be a good home ec project for high school and middle school kids!

[@Durrdalus]

PSSSSTTTTT! you can print stuff onto multiple A4's and glue them together.

[@alexandermccomb6444]

That is still cheaper than buying a bag.

[@EgaoKage]

For a non-metal option (for airports and such), you could go with plastic banding-strap (which any big-box store will usually give you for free), in place of the spring steel. And YKK makes a whole range of fully plastic zippers, which are a lot more robust than people often assume.

[@xiola]

Suggestion: Nix the pray glue and iron the pattern paper to fusible interfacing instead - saves the toxic aesorol fumes and makes the pattern easy to fold up for home-sized storage when you're done... :) (I work at a fabric store and this is a common method to save tissue patterns, IF you don't have the patience to manually transfer to a thicker medium (which is the preferred method but I understand not everybody hs the time); that way they are strong but flexible; Large cardboard patterns are very difficult to store without a studio, as creases will prevent them from lying flat. Thick interfacing will flatten easily or can be ironed out again, and has less bulk, but is still strong and won't tear as easily as the original paper).

So many comments so not sure if this has already been mentioned: With the material/fabric you are using (and with leather) there is no need to fold over edges on pocket or bottom reinforcement. In fact you can not do that with leather, ,are it too thick to sew. With a material/fabric that does not fray/unravel you can use raw edges, theses bags are great for repurposing plastic banners and the such that would just end up in the landfill. But if someone made this out of canvas or old denim the edges would need to be turned under, will be thick but keeps raw edges hidden. And as a professional/educator seamstress/costumer I love that you are clipping you threats as you work, something I am constantly remind the students to do.

So once I realized they weren't really going to show what was going into the bag I wasn't going to watch any more. But I found myself strangely fascinated by the process, and highly entertained by watching Adam's tongue stick out and move in odd ways while he was concentrating on sewing.

When it's a one day build but you only have 30 minutes 2:18-2:30

[@EgaoKage]

When it comes to cutting out a pattern like that; scalpels work amazing. And the ones with the replaceable blades cost about the same as using xactos. Also, a better pattern medium is Tyvek. It does not stretch or distort at all. So, while it is thin, it makes for an accurate and durable pattern. I make custom Arborist & rock climbing harnesses. And every person I fit for a harness has their own pattern; which I store, in case I need to make them a new one. The strength-to-volume ratio of Tyvek really helps out, when it comes to storage space. You can also buy it in many formats; not just the giant roll that Framers use on buildings.

Nice sewing. Cool project. I'm about to make a notebook cover and all the zipper tricks? Exactly what I need! Thanks. The whole world changes when you get a sewing machine. You could spend a whole day just figuring out how a pair of Levis are made. A few projects and even hand sewing on a button is a whole new deal: instead of 'someday I'll get to that,' becomes a 'gimme a minute... it's done." A few months ago I went looking for parachute bags to store all my wood screws in, There are bags called 'parachute bags', but they don't plop and spread out the pockets like the one's I remember, and there are no patterns. I bought three different brands that call themselves parachute bags, they're okay, for hand tools, I put my drywall screws in one and my Kreg screws in another, but they really aren't parachute bags. You can't see the screws until you've pulled one out. So how about a real parachute-bag? Even if someone did a five minute video of one that'd be cool.

[@theaztecwarrior1190]

Nice project

[@RingRingBananaPwn]

This is awesome!

[@TrippingtheBrightFantastic]

I've sewn jumpsuits with zippers, capes, costumes, and a button down blouse with collar and cuffs. This is so much different than the way I was taught, but it works and it's quicker than my step by step slow approach. I'm impressed as hell that he can eyeball a straight line when folding over the seam allowance. I can't. I need a ruler, a lot of straight pins, and an iron to press that line into the fabric. That was slick, how he did the zipper and facing around the top of the bag.

It always makes me smile when I see another crafter (especially a Master) jut their tongue out when they're concentrating.

Adam should use that extra sail cloth to make a wallet

[@AceOThorns]

I am notorious for starting projects, and struggling to finish them. Today, whilst watching this video and inspired by others of Adam's that I've watched lately, I completed something. I feel doubly inspired - and I MUST buy one of these bags! Thank you, Adam.

[@dylanangel2870]

the prices of the bags was astonishing so im glad your releasing the plans

[@joeldday]

Awesome one day build, definitely have to give this a go! What's the thing on Adam's arm in this video? Will there be some sort of Tested gallery of versions of this bag that people have made?

[@daniellezepess]

Going by other comments, it's a pressure band for tendonitis. :) *A fan gallery for all of these one-day builds would be so cool!*

[@Cy-V]

36:20 What for the love of all that is weird is that creature?! _And why do you make it stare at you as you work?_ _I'm intrigued._

[@robfenwitch7403]

1) It's a replica of the 'star child' from the film 2001 A Space Odyssey and 2) I have no idea.

Oooooh right! I did not recognise it. Thanks! Now for it being there though.. 😅

[@barneymiller7894]

[@roraraptor]

Oh, Adam, that is so wasteful! I'm a custom tailor, so I feel compelled to share my thoughts: 1) Don't cut the pattern out of the 'original' like that. Instead, get some paper to overlay the 'original' and trace the pattern onto a separate sheet of paper. From there on you can modify the design or just use the copy to cut out fabric for production. If you end up making modifications you still have the source material, and you can also make more copies if your pattern gets damaged or worn out. It was especially painful to me considering your 'original' came so neatly folded - there'd be no problem storing it! :) 2) Don't waste such good fabric by cutting in the middle of the piece. It's more economic and environmentally friendly to save resources by planning ahead how to place your pattern pieces on the fabric to get the most out of it. I understand cutting out the print despite it being smack bang in the middle, that was justified. But cutting out a tiny piece with so much space around it.. That's just making it harder to place other pattern pieces if you want to use the same fabric later. Anyway, good job - the bag looked really good. You looked like you were having a lot of fun making it, and that made it fun to watch as well. Keep it up!

[@InfiniteCheeseCrates]

I could be remembering wrong, but i believe they stated when they designed the original bag that, this is old sail material which is past it's "lifespan" and would wind up in a landfill regardless. We also don't know if he intends to make another bag after this, so saving the fabric or the pattern could be pointless. Who knows, maybe the fabric could be going towards making something else. If that were me I'd certainly want to save it for making fabric hinges on a cosplay, adding detail to a prop/build or etc.

[@Merriwen]

I sew and the amount of wasted fabric was making my OCD itch 😂

[@roraraptor]

+Derfob It's common sense to try to waste as little as possible of your materials. Considering they used the sail cloth for this bag, I'm sure it's plenty good for other projects. If Adam didn't want to use it himself, he could have donated it to a thrift store or similar place which could have either sold it cheaply or given it away to someone else who could use it. :)

[@kallewirsch2263]

Once you have figured out the basic principle of such a bag, you can make a lot of bags for eg. tools you do not have a compartment for. Eg. portable chain saws, or other things just laying around in the shop and collecting dust. Such hulls are not hard to make based on the very same idea and once you made your first and figured out what the relationship of the dimensions of the main H-shaped part to the overall dimensions of the finished bag is, they are really simple to do. Custom made bags made from leftover material have plenty of uses in a workshop.

Is there nothing Adam Savage can't do? No one should be this talented.

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

G'Day from Sydney Australia! Hay Adam how about making an EDC 3 that can also double as a dipper bag? A lot of my male friends who are Dad's *hate* taking their kids out with the 'girly' (their words not mine) looking dipper bags that they have. Because their mates give them so much grief about how 'cutie & sweet' they look with the babyish design of the bags. They want to take their kids out but they don't want to look emasculated while doing so. A good dipper bag needs to not only have room not just for the dippers, the powder/lotions, wet wipes ect & a changing mat. But also a change of clothing for the kid. A place to put the used dippers in case a bin isn't available at the time. & room to keep a few miscellaneous objects like a small toy or two, or a plastic box/bag with snacks. Plus a spot for drinks/bottles.

[@kuronosan]

Wow, you folks really take your chewing tobacco seriously.

[@kittiemann3135]

They do make some gender neutral backpack diaper bags(seen them in walmart and on Amazon). Even sell some diaper bag "tool boxes" and "tackel boxes". So I am sure with a few rigging aroung you can take a pattern for a backpack and add pockets and such for the wipes and all. The backpack one I've seen has a removable reuseable container for wipes.

[@DelayedPenalty]

Any bag can be a diaper bag if you put diapers in it.

What is the black arm band and what watch is that??

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

That 3D Print Guy I don't know about the watch but the 'arm band' is a pressure guard for tendonitis. Adam talks about suffering from the condition in previous videos.

[@davidbabcock1468]

It looks like a pressure band for brachioradialus/tennis elbow pain management

[@friedengilbert8067]

The watch looks like it could be an Orient to me, but Adam usually has more expensive tastes than that... I'd love to find out for sure

[@Hilndr1701]

I was wondering if it could be a Grand Seiko?

[@friedengilbert8067]

Hilndr1701 could be actually. Although I don't think I've seen a GS with that sort of open-heart subdial complication at the 6

[@markcoren2842]

My first thought after looking up the EDC1..."Omg...it costs how much?!". After watching the video... "Omg...it ONLY costs how much?!" Seeing this made from start to finish inspires me!

[@reck711]

To be fair someone who actually knows what they're doing using a machine that's actaully meant to work with this kind of fabric would probably be a lot faster. Still i recon there's easily like 3-4 hours of work in a bag like this (esp. if you include a lining), so the price does make sense.

[@spencerlow8826]

I need to work on my sewing skills so I can make this! Thanks for promoting people fulfilling their own creative ideals!

[@mildyproductive9726]

I bought an inexpensive Brother sewing machine several years ago, just to add this important tool to my arsenal. The sewing machine was a huge part of the industrial revolution, and who doesn't need an automatic rivet gun for cloth and nylon webbing? And how hard can it be? Well, it's not "automatic," at all. If I did it regularly, I think I could get the hang of it. But using a sewing machine only once in a blue moon is only borderline practical. I have "notes to self" written all over it, just to get it running. Which I have done with any success probably 3 times. It's a proper precision machine with lots of interacting moving bits and parts, and bits just to load other bits and parts just to get other things started. Insanely complicated. It's nice to think I could make something like this if I really wanted to. Probably. But it mostly collects dust.
