Adam Savage’s Tested

3 жыл бұрын

Every time Adam needs to wrap his head around the layout of a building, he makes a scale model of the structure as an exercise to better understand the space. One such building is the Fab House community maker space in Cleveland, for which Adam is on the advisory board. Using digital renders and blueprints as reference, Adam recreates the four floors of the Fab House in a 1/24 scale architectural model form using trusty foam board, a craft knife, tape, and hot glue!

I see you have a camera guy with you again. Even though the production value technically is better, I have to say I have loved the one day builds and videos you have done yourself during this pandemic, they're authentic and 'you' in a way that it never was before. That authenticity is also kinda lacking in this video, since you haven't done the filming yourself and you don't go as in depth and have your usual train of thought. Your one day builds is one of the things that, for me, really has been a highlight in this dark time. Sufficed to say, I really hope you continue to do some of the one day builds on your own.

I find there's an intimacy from self filming, which is desirable, whereas a camera person is ideally suited to a follow along at a comicon for example, the camera is viewing on the viewers behalf putting the viewer more and more within the scene, what with the HD tech hyper slow motions etc of recent. I believe the viewer presenter relationship is evolving slightly perhaps?

It helps with sizing considerations, workspace design, or even just 'where do I put the TV?'. I've never done it in foam core, but I think that might be a fun exercise for an upcoming expansion!

As a professional interior designer, being able to build physical models for a project is actually a luxury in terms of time and money. With those in mind, it's usually a must to use digital tools to complete projects within a given time and budget so I must say that if you're able to build physical models of a project, you are very fortunate! I've done over 400 projects throughout my career and 99% of them were done digitally. I still remember my first model I did back in college and I still feel super proud of it not because seeing my design come to life and being able to touch it, but because I built it with my hands, the ideas and information flowing from my brain to my fingers, the blade I cut and the glue I used to build my miniature walls and chairs, and I love them so dearly even if that was decades ago. Seeing you build really brings back some joy in me! Don't get me wrong I don't speak for anyone in the industry but myself. I have projects that involve physical models but it's usually outsourced by architectural firms to model firms. They're really helpful and really pushes any discussion to unexpected directions sometime. It's very different than working with projects stuck in the digital realm until they're actually constructed. It still takes much more time if a project has a tighter deadline, especially interior design due to the scale of the project as opposed to building a tower with a 10-year timeframe.

That comment about a perfect set of blueprints is something I live by, and dictates how I design many of my projects. Especially with wood projects. I’m building a chicken coop based off of a full CAD model I did, and I’ve taken less than 10 measurements with a tape measure. Everywhere else I’ve used angles relationships, and directly transferring cut markings onto my boards. I imagine it takes longer to build than if I’d drawn up complete, dimensioned plans and precut and labeled everything, but I’m getting far tighter joints and better construction using this method than I ever have trying to rigorously stick to measurements. I keep a few master dimensions, then base everything else off of angles relating to those dimensions.

Basement windows are usually 12 x 24". The are usually cast into the basement walls at the top of the masonry, so the 1st floor sill acts as the header for the windows. Add the first floor rim joist and the tops of the basement windows are about a foot below the floor level of the first floor. Interior doors are a standard 6'8" tall (80") by either 24 or 30" wide (or to architectural specifications). Exterior doors are usually 80" tall (sometimes taller) but are usually 30 or 36" wide. You can always order non-spec doors and windows, but be ready to wait a year to get them. Oh yes, windows are normally set so the tops of the windows are even with the tops of the doors (6'8" above the floor). The bottoms may be any height above the floor, except, by code, an egress window with a bottom no more than 24" above the floor must be present in bedrooms. I use 0.040" styrene for most of my HO scale buildings (which matches most model kits). Its thinner than scale, but easier to deal with since most components (doors, windows, etc.) are designed for the 0.040" thickness. However, I use 0.020" roofing, which is readily available in HO and sometimes have it overhanging the styrene roof sheathing around the edges.

Architect here. After finally being able to relate to the topic and the low level of complexity shown in that build (because anything else on this channel is waaay over my patience and skill level and just leaves me admiring you guys), things took a few turns that were new to me: First one was using a saw on foamcore (we use cutters but with longer rulers and much bigger cutting mats). Same with hot glue or CA glue: We usually use regular, slow drying glue or just steel needles with tiny flat heads used for stiching up unsewn clothes. The latter ones have the advantage that you can remodel certain parts without ruining the bits you want to keep. Or recycle parts of your model although the foamcore doesn't age well under sunlight. Probably the biggest take away was your statement on the level of precision needed vs. the one usually put into these models. I try to keep that in mind for my next model. Keep up the good work, the sharing of knowledge, the storytelling and last but not least your overflowing, contagious positivity!

I like the idea of a controllable flow rate hot glue gun, it would probably work like a 3d printer with a stepper motor driving a gear that pushes the glue stick through, the trigger would simply be a button to turn on the motor, and then some sort of knob to control the rotation speed, probably even add retraction logic so that when you let go of the trigger it avoid additional oozing. Might be something fun to try and build.

I tried to get a job with an architecture firm making models. I got an interview and brought in a model of a television studio with a set of models I made for a music series. The studio was made of wood, but the set pieces were made of artboard and made so that the producers, directors, and TDs could move pieces around; they could experiment with camera, audience, and set placement. That was crucial to the design because it was a weekly series and the set pieces had to be flexible. The models were perfectly to scale and even detailed and painted. The architect was very negative about my work because of that flexibility. I never got the job, and it took me years of angst before I realized he could not conceive of anyone moving anything once it was designed, so my work was anathema to a professional architect, but perfect for the situation for which it was constructed.

Yay for Cleveland! To me as a maker, it makes a lot of sense that my city is beginning to have so many maker opportunities and resources like Fab House and the Think Box at Case. As Adam mentioned, the philosophy of making and the maker community embodies so much of what makes Cleveland itself - innovation and problem-solving in a constantly changing place with diverse communities.

Love all the Cleveland love in this video 🤘🏽 I took for granted the amazing and creative culture that surrounded me growing up around Cleveland and going to college there. I left Cleveland 5 years ago for a job and living away in other cities made me realized how special my hometown really is. All I can think about lately is how much I want to go back. I miss the city, the people, the lake, the small businesses, the art, the music and the amazing culture and atmosphere. It’s a magical place 💛

I disagree, the lighting is much better here, and while the camera is moving around a lot more, you don’t get the awful sound of the arms screeching as Adam grabs the camera to move it somewhere else. I could do without the quick mini-zooms and pop-ins/pop-outs happening so often.

I am an interior design student from Belgium, we learn to use woodglue for scale builds. It gives a stronger bond and there is no danger of melting the foamcore. (using a scaling ruler is also realy helpful)

Oh God! This takes me back! I took a set design class in college as part of my theater degree and my final was to create models for all of the sets in a play called Galileo. The whole thing had to be out of foam core and we had to make it a very specific scale. I got an a, but not without spending all night working on it.

Fab House? Now that's a familiar name. Not too far from where I live there's Fablab, which is basically the same except smaller and located inside a pile of shipping containers and a stationary school bus. They got everything in there; a laser cutter, 3D printers, lasercut 3D printers, 3D printed 3D printers and dedicated programming PCs

Cool job! Or at least it sounds like a cool job. I know these things can often appear to be better than they are but still that definitely sounds fun. I love playing games with models like that doing almost like Special Forces clearing out a group of buildings but in the current world we're playing in. Mind you I alw make the models myself as that's part of the fun.

I totally understand why Adam does this, when I was buying an apartment I did a similar thing but because I'm predominantly a digital maker I remade the apartment I was interested in as a 3D model that I then imported into a VR space so I could get a feel for what it would be like living there. I also made a heap of furniture that I could pick up and move around in VR so I could see how it would feel when it was furnished. It also helped with what renovations I wanted to do after I bought the place.

Have you ever considered making these models with the ability to be taken apart sectionally? As an architecture student, we are often taught to design in both plan and section and I think you can learn a lot from models with that viewing capability.
