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

[@AndrewJordan23]

Hi Adam! I'm a leather worker, and specifically make strapped/belt goods. This came out great! I just wanted to give you a heads up, the strap cutter you're using is made to be pulled towards you, not pushed away. You are using it like a plow gauge, which is another strap cutter design with an exposed blade. If you were to pull the strap cutter towards you, you'd have 5-6 inches to align the uncut leather, rather than only 1 or 2. I hope that helps!

[@Stevieboy7]

Yup! I had mentioned this on his last video on leatherworking. This strap cutter design is pretty perfect, I've been using it in my shop for over 10 years, and know guys who have been using this design for around 30-40 years.

[@AndrewJordan23]

@@Stevieboy7 One of my favorite parts of leatherworking is the tradition & history. I'm sure that if a better/more efficient strap cutter could be made, we would have it already. The only thing above that model is a machine, in my opinion! But it looks like Adam's method still puts out some great results, I just hope he sees this so he can work a little more ergonomically.

@@HomoErectusIsAFunnyName Your skin really does change a lot, though. Literally down to diet change tattoos expand or contract. You shed skin cells constantly. Sure it's fine for a rough estimate I guess, but having an unknown margin of error is just unnecessary when a good ruler is exact.

The entire round includes the projectile (properly called the bullet) and the case or casing. A real round would of course have powder and a primer but these props quite correctly don’t have these components. Anyway, nice work all round but the terminology error made me cringe over and over and over again.

[@mikestrong661]

Hey Adam, Here a tip from a leatherworker- when punching a lot of holes like you did having it taped off, rub the surface of the tape with beeswax then commence punching. The wax will lube the punch so your not fighting it. Also you had your strap cutter set up correctly the first time you use it by pulling the cutter towards you having the handle as the guide and as you pull it it maintains contact.

[@stephanieflorence8109]

Hi Adam! Just want to say how much I appreciate your work. My dad was a maker in a lot of ways, but not a very good teacher. And just when I was getting most interested in (what we call now) STEM, his health turned and it lead him down the path of addiction. We're now estranged. Watching your videos gives me a lot of nostalgia from watching my dad work and I'm grateful for they way you encourage makers if all spots and stripes to explore a craft. Thank you!

[@jacobbalensiefer3846]

[@SethKotta]

"not part of the canon, but is now part of my canon." Yeah, your hand cannon...

[@suspectii]

Just to help anyone curious, the easier and more common way of using that leather strap cutter is to pull it towards you through the leather instead of pushing it. He didn’t actually have the two arms mounted backwards like he corrected, he actually had the blade mounted backwards. So the measurement marks on the tool and the blade should be facing you as you pull it through the leather. It’s just a lot easier to control. I’ve been teaching leathercraft for many years and everyone should give it a try. It’s incredibly easy. Have fun everyone.

[@tjh44961]

Adam, freshly-loaded ammunition is always bright and clean, it oxidizes slowly over time. I'm a reloader, so I know this. Also, depending on the process used to make the leather, it may actually cause the brass to corrode. Vegetable-tanned leather will not do this, but chemically-tanned leather is more likely to cause it. I've been thinking about building a firing version of the Samaritan, but if you think about how much work it was to make it in aluminum, think about doing it in steel! Plus the additional requirements of rifling the barrel, making a reliable action, etc.

[@ToraTiger78]

Great project. I always love the sound of cutting leather. :) I did find it funny when you said; "No acids, just vinegar" ... Also, I was somewhat expecting you to use Chicago Screws for the belt so that you could swap out the buckle for another if you wanted to later on without damaging the leather.

[@lookitStevens]

Thought you guys might want to know that you're missing the Part 4 video in The Samaritan playlist. The one where Adam shows how he made the bullets. The only reason I even figured it out is because he mentioned in this video that he showed how the etching on the bullets was done in a previous video and I hadn't seen it. Which would have been a real shame because it was very interesting to watch. At any rate, really enjoying the build so far. So cool to watch the entire process.

[@ComsicQuestGG]

When it comes to the retention of your rounds (it's up to the user), but you don't want it to be TOO tight. You want just enough tension to hold your rounds, and enough looseness to allow you to draw the round out to reload your cylinder as fast as possible; when not using a speed loader. Granted this is a prop belt for prop rounds, but I think it adds to the appeal that this is actually Hellboy's gun belt.

He had the strap cutter correct the first time. You want to PULL the cutter along the leather with the handle on the same side as the cutting edge, not push. The flat side of the handle helps keep the cut straight. But of course we all have different ways we use our tools.

[@guyjohnson242]

First off, Mr Savage, I absolutely love watching all your videos and especially the one day builds. If I may make a couple humble suggestions as a leather worker and as someone who has made a few gun belts First: that specific strap cutter is designed to be pulled towards your body rather than being pushed away, you may find this helps drastically reduce the amount of focus necessary for straight cuts Second: the bullet holding straps are usually fed up through one hole, around the bullet (or BSO) and fed back through the same hole it came out of. This lets it hold the bullet quite snugly, allows a bit more flexibility, and lets you get more bullets closer together. Granted, these are enormous bullets and very thick leather. Long story short: love your work.

I usually put my leather on the table, so its lies nice and flat, push a bit of leather through, grabs the snip of my newly cut strap, and starts to pull the cutter.

Jeez, how many "these are not real bullets" disclaimers does one need?

[@RedhairedBallerina]

Well I guess once you get a call from the FBI, you tend to be more cautious with those :D

How many easily triggered people are there surfing KZbin? Now you start seeing the issue.

KZbin algorithm, their rules etc are making life difficult for any firearms related content. Even historical content has banned for talking about equipment. The staff doing reviewing have zero expertise to differentiate between Adams content and someone giving instructions on how to manufacture bullets for illegal use

@@davem2369 nah the fbi called him one time because of a video so guess he’s trying not to get anymore calls

[@joec6108]

Because KZbin employees all have dementia and will forget if you don’t remind them and hold their hand throughout the scary bullet video.

Somehow Adam Savage and David Fryberger seem like brothers or maybe cousins and I love every thing they both do.

I work with leather, the strap cuter works alot better as a pulling tool not a pushing tool. Just flip the blade around and try it. Love this series.

[@gregscalzo5259]

Its sad that Adam feels he has to stress that the bullets could not be real. Almost apologizing. So sad..

Yeah, it's KZbin policy re: guns and we got dinged with the first Samaritan video when it wasn't clear to them that it was a prop. support.google.com/youtube/answer/7667605?hl=en
