Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Lathe Chuck Rolling Rack!

"Measure One, Cut Twice" and "Measure Once, Swear Twice" Ts and stickers here: teespring.com/...
As Adam is using his lathe more these days, he's also upgrading it with new accessories like additional lathe collet chucks. And to store these massive steel parts, Adam makes a rolling rack stand that can hold all of his chucks for quick access and cleaning. It's Adam's first One Day Build using sheets of 1-inch plywood, and a construction that comes together with just tabs and slots!

I measure once then forget

[@WJCTechyman]

Ugh, youtube app gets frustrating when I want to like a comment. Nice addage! I noticed on one of your concept sketches it said, "PFFFT." I wasn't sure if you were laughing or put it in as an Adam Savage joke or easter egg, lol.

[@oinodin]

slightly surprised that mr. adam didn't use vacuum forming machine to make dust cover for chucks

I hope that typo didn't make it onto the merchandise!

The sad thing is the show will never end, we'll see him going back and redoing thing we have seen before, improving on older builds

[@RadioactiveLobster]

Adam (in prior video): I buy these little brushes by the hundreds for use when gluing. Also Adam: I'm just gonna use my finger.

[@hauptmanndosman]

With wood glue your finger is faster and just as effective.

[@jackyboyslim1379]

Yes he was using wood glue when he talked about using the brushes previously I believe.

[@alecwhatshisname5170]

He might save the brushes for more precise work, these are massive contact patches to do w those tiny brushes

[@mozkitolife5437]

Congratulations, Mr. Savage. Very, very cool build. The way that went together was very satisfying.

That's a really fun way to use ply! I just got a pile of random ply from a guy... not quite sure what to do with it all! Awesome build!

Hey Adam, here is my cheap sorting system: A stack of HOme Depot sort boxes, the lowest bolted to a bed of plywood. Two fixed castors and a 2x4 block, rolls like a hand truck.

[@DeadBu11]

Hi Adam, I really enjoy watching your videos and each new one is better than the last. I imagine you often receive suggestions for videos, I was wondering if you could make a video specifically on your ideation, drawing, and creative process that occurs before the build. We get to see your drawings before you make the build but it would be interesting to understand your thought process. Thanks, a long time fan, Ian

[@jasonl3445]

I love watching you're process. Keep on keeping on!!!

[@christianthurow]

This Old Tony would be so pleased.

[@csimeonides]

Great Job cutting and precise fitting. A bit of varnish would be the piece de resistance. I like it. I will build one but a smaller version. Love watching your videos. Thanks.

[@zingy90]

Calls it a one day build. Built one off camera over the weekend, decided to tweak the design a bunch, then gave us a build montage of v1.1. Not really a one day build. That said, amazing craftsmanship. He spent a ton of time showing us the bridgeport for doing the hole pattern and slots. Then he free handed the slots and tabs in all the other pieces with a fricken band saw and jig saw. Those were the hard ones and he nailed it.

[@tipetu]

Abom79 would be jelly of that handy stand there

[@stefinatrix3426]

Now add collet storage on the back of it and everything will be in one place!

[@semegraph]

I highly recommend you try mixing colors of the Jacquard MX Procion fiber reactive dyes as wood stains, you can get some really cool results.

[@gavindean]

Adam, I think this was one of my favorite builds to date.

[@ryancappo]

You should do a video on how someone would go about buying a lathe and the components. Is there a lathe store? The one I used was from the WW2 era, but still worked just fine. But I would have no idea how to shop for a new lathe or what features to get.

[@chrisw443]

8:51 Ive spent many late nights pondering that one

[@jonathanlang2325]

this was amazing to watch

[@michaelpettersson4919]

Mistakes, what we really learn from. A got thing that they do not get cut out in editing. 🙂

[@Xython88]

[@MikeOrkid]

Super super rad!

[@HKAbsolutus]

TECHNICALLY YOU SHOULD SEAL THE WOOD , as the moisture in the wood will make the lathe pins rusty in time

[@kayz-art]

My upcoming workshop is sooo much smaller... So I love the things you do to efficiently store stuff.... I myself am doing the same, just more extreme. And one of the things I found to do this is the usage of airline trolley's... You know, the trolley's they use to hand out drinks in air planes... Today I'll be posting a small video about them and I'll customize them in 5-6 weeks or so (I guess) once my workshop is up and running... Check it out! :)

[@bugbasher]

You should sew a cover for that. Simple "box" shaped with a hole for the handle.

[@MetroGradeGoods]

I have Adam up on my 32" computer screen while I laser cut stuff and when he does a shoulders up shot, it's like he's INSIDE my shop.

[@sundogbrewing]

Measure twice,cut once!

[@olestampevestergaard4746]

Love it, hope to someday have a lathe with lots of chucks so I have to build something similar, shouldn't it have had a fourth spot, so you can take the chuck off of the lathe and not worry about putting it on the ways?

[@barilko]

I really like it, just like everything you do! 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍻

[@davidjorgensen9103]

I only need 3 spots for them until you are holding the one you just took off the latte and wonder where to set it down to get the other one you wanted.

[@waveformdistortion]

Is that a ring light on your mill? That's kind of genius.

[@1980JPA]

Adam using the big guns to cut what looks to me like some dados that could have been cut on the table saw without even moving the fence after initial setup. but hell that's not what I'm here for, LOL. I'm here to watch Adam use an atom bomb to kill an ant. X). As he says, we're not here for "reasonable techniques" Ilove this channel.

[@Bullfrog307002]

Another option would have been to use a morticing bit in either the drill press or milling machine...

[@R.Craig.Collins]

I need to find a shop that lets you use big equipment like lathes that I don't have room for... thanks for the distraction during these odd times

[@888johnmac]

search for public maker spaces/shops , or tool library's .. although the one i volunteer at isn't open to the public yet

[@charlespetersen1981]

Nerd TV and I love it🥰

[@guypatts494]

Nice work

[@Aviertje]

The 90 degrees cuts above every resting position worry me. Not only are they the narrowest point, but the straight angle cut looks like it is really unkind in regards to the weighty forces exerting on the material over time. Since there was extra space to work with (due to the known dimensions of the tools resting there), you could have used the centimeter or two for a nicely rounded inside slope. This would add at least one more centimeter of supporting material on both supports to the weakest parts of the construction. Think bridges: they have arches to better distribute the forces in play. It is hard to guesstimate the real weights and the ability of the material to withstand those stresses over time (especially for plywood!), but if you can't resist the opportunity to go for a third version, now you've got an excuse! xD

[@declanmills3978]

Hey adam, I've just realized that you don't use a guard for either your laithe or your milling machine. Just wondered why and if it's simply because of visibility.

[@ProjectDistraction_EV]

Fantastic job (May have to copy 🤔) Question: What kind of light do you use on the headstock of your mill? I saw a halo 😇 type light.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

I would probably just have placed the chuck on the plate, drawn around each peg, and then found center from the circles...😅 Since it's 6 pegs, it's not THAT hard to get right.😜

[@theredletterdays]

Not that Adam cuts corners on builds or does sloppy work by any means. But he definitely has a level of tolerance that has more slack in it when he's building typical projects around the shop that are designed to just "hold something." You can really tell when he puts the time in to a quality build such as this. Probably due to the weight of the chucks requiring more strict building parameters. But it's still really cool him busting out all the right equipment to make this special.

[@csn583]

Is there any reason not to do woodwork on metal lathes and mills, besides the mess? And any ways to mitigate the mess that might not occur to me? I can barely make room for a smaller lathe and would really like it to do double-duty!

[@bbumpy4523]

Nice Rack Adam! Any chance you have build drawings available you can share with us?

[@breadbutt]

6:50 why use 1" as the sacrificial wood? (for the tearout protection) couldn't you use something less expensive like 1/4"? not trying to nitpick, but there are so many cool things you can make with small pieces of 1" ply! to be fair, I'm somewhat biased. I was laid off at the end of March and money is tight. I've been luckier than a lot of people though. Either way, thanks for the videos, they've been one of the things that helps me stay positive during all this crap.

[@klehma]

I have come to realize that EVERY tool is Adam's favorite tool.

Why hide those beautiful pieces of engineering under a towel, vacuum form a nice clear cover for each of them and they will be a nice display stand. This can also be another one day build.

[@arthurreis1906]

Great idea. How about a small groove on the wooden support, just past the diameter of the largest chuck, that would fit a clear plastic "cake" cover. No need to cut larger shelves. The groove doesn't need to go all around, as the seal doesn't need to be hermetic, the only issue is dust and swarf falling from above.

i mean a towel works great without the fuss :p

[@milkyfishh]

Fantastic idea!! Maybe even three separate VF'ed "Lids" possibly connected by piano hinges to the base structure???
