Couldn't you just print out 1 finger at a time when using foam?

The way the gauntlets sound when he makes a fist sounds so satisfying.

YESSS so happy to see Bill!!! I love seeing Punished Props get their due attention!

[@Psychosurgeonpls]

this is what i love about adam, he genuinely just LOVES to learn, some see him as patronizing but he just really gets that giddy about knowledge and thats something we ALL could use

[@RocketBoomRocket]

I super love the sound of the gauntlet's metal clanging and clinking every time it moves.

[@blackdragonxtra]

It makes my soul feel so good.

[@OGPatriot03]

It looks MUCH better when it's finished (After painting). Just saying. Obviously it's no where near as awesome as the real deal, but it's also far easier/cheaper to make so not bad. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4Kan3hrmLCYhJI

[@thelitlewiseowl]

"this is a shrine to obsession" I like this sentence a lot.

[@sonofsparda657]

i love that this isnt jsut a half assed way to look into the production of such a thing and then be like "YOU CAN BUY THOSE FOR OUR PROFIT" but much rather an inspirational tool for people to watch where they can gather tips and even the PLANS for things the goal of this is to inspire people to have fun building their own costumes and geek decorations and i love that.

[@Krisswords]

The Excitment is awesome. "GOD I LOVE INFORMATION" needs to be on a shirt.

I love how free they are with sharing information and techniques. So wonderful to see!

[@taintedmyth0s636]

14:12 The way he's running is just like a little kid about to show off a cool thing he has. That's why I love watching Adam do stuff, whether it was Mythbusters or this channel. He shows that even if you grow old, you don't need to grow up :)

[@SlenderverseTrash]

25:55 Wow. I've been watching Adam for along time (that sounded weird, sorry. Watching as in Mythbusters and this channel) this is the first time I've heard him curse

[@endomobo359]

They beep it out in mythbusters, they have that one episode where they test if swearing helps pain tolerance

[@noerartnoe]

Late comment is late: If memory serves, he's commented elsewhere that he normally "curses like a sailor" but tries to rein it in for videos.

[@OutcastAngelV]

For anyone watching, depending on your professional level, and desired outcome. I would suggest superglue instead of contact cement for immediate seating so you don't have to wait 5 minutes EVERY single time you have to glue a seam. Then you can come back before assembly and cover the inside of the seems with cement, or hot glue. (just my 2 cents, I'm not that patient or professional)

[@oscardootson2500]

Literally my biggest two inspirations collaborating.. brings a tear to my eye 🤧

[@crawford323]

Whenever I want to feel good by watching someone infused with creativity and enthusiasm, I get my needed fix of Adam.

[@maxy4965]

Adam jumping from joy like a little kid... Got to love this man so much

[@82olys]

"God I love information!" Me too Mr. Savage. Me too.

[@Crowy26]

[@SmR8008]

I loved watching this video. ..2 great, creative and enthusiastic maker guys. I loved Adam jumping up and down with glee😄. This was a fantastic colaboration, with Adam and Bill working so well with each other

[@Alloran]

It's always so fun to see somebody who does this sort of work drop nuggets of gold to problems you've had. Just use a sharpened brass tube to punch holes. Increase your pattern 10% to keep it from being too tight. Small things that save a huge amount of time and effort refining.

[@ianbyrne465]

I really like Bill and Adam's dynamic. It's always nice having Norm or another commentator or even just Adam himself discussing the build and the process, but something about Bill and Adam discussing the work and their technique and tips and tricks is really neat

[@Durrdalus]

Can't wait for "Adam Savage's One Decade Builds: 'The Martian' Space Suit!"

[@Jezzdenmark]

Two of my favorite prop makers together :D Super cool! And Adam, you're more excited than kids on Christmas morning.

[@jonathancook8343]

I love Adam Savage. His enthusiasm for what he does lights up the room. Awesome gauntlet.

[@crispybacon4240]

Probably the first one day build I've watched in its entirety with no scrubbing through. It was so enjoyable to watch the back-and-forth between them, sharing ideas.

[@AfroMyrdal]

It's incredibly fun to see two so talented makers work together and their minds just instantly click together and better each other like that. It's like you have a what's it called when twins kind of have that connection? Or like best friends? But that's what I'm saying. I love these videos. Great piece to!

[@graff5274]

adam please do a one day build a week, i am a maker myself and love love LOVE seeing other peoples work, the methods they use, the amazing projects they create, its such beautiful work and i love seeing it, and its all the much better that its you making things, i have been a huge fan of yours and the way you do and make things, the way you explain everything, you are an amazing and damn near perfecr maker and i need my fill of Adam Savage every week! I also love seeing that Adam is such a passionate maker that he will sit and listen to other people talk about their ideas and tools and how they do things, and he will appreciate it, digest it and sometimes even learn from it, its such a beautiful thing to watch.

Been following both you guys for a while, and been lucky enough to meet you both-but honestly, gotta love how excited you look to be learning something new! Foam builds rule!

[@xxfree2romexx]

Adam I loved watching you as a teen and here I am as an adult still watching you! There’s nothing like a maker at heart haha. Tools, learning new things, always gathering knowledge! ❤️

[@wadeslovick2815]

My two favorite channels have collided!

[@ThomStricklin]

And so it begins. When Frank announced his departure, I hoped Tested would collaborate with Bill. When I saw "foam" in the title of this video, my hopes were renewed... And sure enough! Tested and Punished Props are my two favorite maker channels, so I look forward to more like this. EDIT: Because it's an FAQ, Frank announced his departure on a Tested video in December. His own business is booming so much that he can't split time any more. So it's really a good thing, although of course still sad to see Frank go.

[@muchtoonice]

Preske They announced it in the "Our favourite projects with Frank Ippolito" back in December. He left to focus more on his business.

[@larflabergasted]

It's in the "Our Favorite Projects with Frank Ippolito" video. Basically his business went from a small indie shop into a giant art studio so it's getting harder and harder to do videos especially with the amount of contracted NDA work he gets now.

[@wwaxwork]

Oh cool so he left for a good reason. I was so worried.

[@bearianna]

I’m glad he left for a good reason! 😌 I was watching one of his seasons on Face Off, (since my mom is obsessed with Face Off now,) and I freaked out when I first saw him on there! Now following him on instagram so I can see what he does next! 🧟‍♂️📷

This might be one of my all-time favourite KZbin videos. OMG, how awesome is it to see Adam Savage and Bill Doran of Punished Props working together to create something beautiful! Also cool -- seeing master- craftspeople exchange techniques/methods with each other, and sharing with the rest of us here with palpable joy -- thankyou!

[@worldclasspervert]

Tfw the color correction comes in late. Also, neat, I'm totally gonna make one of these. By hand tho, no lasers.

It's amazing that, at this point in time, Adam is still learning new things despite his excellent experience in the field. This is why I love watching one day builds.

[@Platypi007]

I love how excited Adam gets about everything.

[@jaywest4102]

Adam and friends, I’ve seen your tool organization/storage obsession and mold making. There are tons of videos showing mechanics cutting out foam to fit tools in drawers, is it possible to pour silicone in a drawer full of tools to do the same thing as the foam?

[@dylanheadrick3789]

jay west That actually sounds pretty interesting. I'd imagine you'd have to soak the tools in mold release to prevent them from the silicone finding it's way into all of the joints, but it be quite a nice fit and pretty satisfying to return the tools back to their spot.

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

jay west Would require a lot more cleanup, and silicone tends to degrade faster than EVA foam

[@JoelHudson]

Dylan Headrick or cover the tools with thin (think cooking film) wrap?

[@cycoholic]

And would probably be way more expensive to use silicone.

[@nightcaste]

The problem is that the tools will be in the *bottom* of the drawer, with the silicone between and *above* them. Your tools would end up like the bits of fruit in a creepy jell-o mold. And hinge tools would drive you nuts forever.

[@captaingunther5026]

Hey, Adam, I love your channel it has helped me a lot with my props, I was wondering if you could do the helmet of Helm Hammerhand when he was a Nazgul.

The enthusiasm whenever Bill gives Adam a new technique is incredible.

Great cohost, more collabs with Bill Doran please !

[@CJOMEDIA]

Adam Savage said finesse and low key.. my life is complete.

[@Cellkist]

Low key is funny to hear, but finesse? That's just a normal word that people use, isn't it?

[@jackcronin5250]

Yea finesse just means skill ...or do something delicately

[@ayzer_1639]

not in modern day mongoloid terms; they weren't used as slang

[@jackcronin5250]

And also low key is also a standard word that means somethings basic/simple or minimalistic and just has been abused by Americans

[@asmartfoodie]

jack cronin I don't think you can abuse words. Also anything that can get young kids learning new word is great. On that note a lot of the words we use today are slang so what are we really defending?

[@momoyaoyorozu4442]

this is amazing.. i never thought i would say "thank you for making me wait so long for this video" because this is a real treat

I really can't express my gratitude enough, this really gave me more inspiration when I needed it most for such a daunting first project
