Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Hellboy's Samaritan Prop!

Adam's latest long-term project comes to fruition in the form of the Good Samaritan -- Hellboy's iconic sidearm from the films. It's taken all of his machining skills and more to scratch build this prop from chunks of aluminum, and Adam has documented the journey in this new series of One Day Builds. In this first part, Adam tackles the oversized barrel and top rail. Thankfully, Adam has some great reference material and sources. Let's get started!

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

Hey Adam! having almost 30 years in manufacturing, one skill I have learned and became very proficient in is EDM (electical discharge machining). The wire EDM process would have given you a perfect hole on both ends of the barrel. I know you don't have a wire edm in the shop, but this wasn't truly a "one day build" so you could have done it for this part of the process. You do have the mind of a machinist and I love that about you sir!

If you don’t mind me saying this Mr Adam, I think this project marks a jump in complexity, and possibly skill level...accuracy across the board. it must be an incredible feeling to know that you can create such an amazing prop...I hope to see more prop creation videos...this was sooooo good to watch....fantastic work xx

[@user-zz8jr5if1u]

I watch your videos and remember my childhood. My favorite show was Mythbusters. I watched all your episodes since 2006. thanks for the fun times

[@highwind4559]

This enthusiasm is much needed in the rest of the world. Please send people some Adam.

While I think KZbin is a great medium for this sort of content, I was wondering: do you think you could also deliver it via IV?

[@jakefromstatefarm4508]

I literally spit my drink out reading that 😂

[@GedeonDillon]

Idk if you’ve completed this project yet Adam, however since Grant was your muse for this project it would be very cool if somewhere in the parts you stamped his name or scribed his signature in it. I find your skills to be very impressive and always take something away from every video. Thank you for that.

[@danielreddington9305]

Doesn't he show the almost finished product at the start? I reckon he's finished it now.. although, the tested team have been putting out ALOT of content! Can't fault that!

[@drewkernan676]

I watch people build fixtures and tooling for the aircraft industry every day and they put less time into set ups than you do. Super impressive.

[@BoY860]

You have one of the best workshops. Glad you made your own channel, been a fan for a while. Keeps up the great work and never quit!!!

Sure feels like he's said "couple of thou" more in this video then I've ever heard before.

Chunks of scrap. That is what I wanna see at the beginning.

Looks awesome Adam! As a machinist I appreciate you diving into the challenge head on the old school way instead of having a shop with CNCs do it.

There is something deeply satisfying in the idea of marking fluid...

The 1855 10 gauge revolver video reminded me of this video.

You've done Hellboy cosplay when are you going to do Abe Sapien cosplay? Can't wait for the one day build of the case for the Samaritan.

[@Skeez002]

2 things from being a machinist for the last 20 years, speed kills, and short and fat is where its at. Also an edge finder and .0001 interapid indicator are your best friends for manuals. Shes a beaut, Adam you sir are a Savage!

[@Zeinzu2]

Watching you mill down the surfaces of those piece is SO SATISFYING!!!! I never knew. I could watch this stuff all day.

[@SuperFriendBFG]

Damn, Adam. Getting that meet-up hole almost perfect on the first try.

[@1pcfred]

That was some dumb luck. If I had to choose between being lucky or being good I have to go with luck every time. Because you can only be so good but luck knows no bounds.

[@jaicro89]

Adam Savage's and Hellboy.....HELL YEAH!!!

[@thommygun999]

Adam and jamie and the while crew of myth busters has been a big show i used to watch as a kid thanks for the good memories

[@ericknopf2109]

I LOVE this stuff. He shows everything. If he messes up, he shows it, he doesn’t try to hide it and show “I did it all in one shot.”

random thought: the apron looks like it's working great!

Beautiful piece, Adam! One of my favorite films. And my deepest condolences to you and the Mythbusters team with the loss of your very own. RIP Grant

[@ryancarrell3186]

It's so endlessly charming that Adam has a stunt pistol FROM THE MOVIE, and still thinks he needs to make his own. Never change, Adam.
