Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Poker Table!

Tested Ts, stickers, mugs and more: teespring.com/stores/adam-sav...
Adam has previously shown his replica poker chips set from the movie Rounders, and now he needs a proper poker table as well. This One Day Build is just that: a custom poker table that fits atop the circular podcast table in the cave! Making this 47-inch diameter table has Adam bringing out a bunch of power tools in the shop, cutting the wood in interesting ways to get this distinct form.
Here's the video that inspired this build, from Poker Listings: • Video

[@timmyangeltlc4888]

This took me back to industrial arts class in junior high. I can just hear my teacher giving every safety lecture on every power tool as they were shown to us. I of course listened and never had a mishap but can remember others having cuts and bruises from poor tool usage. Thankfully though,, no one lost fingers. My favorite projects that I made were a sheet steel dust pan that I gifted my mom and a cork board and chalk board message center for use by the phone. I also have a plexiglass key chain I made and key ring holder. Sadly in high school they would not allow me to take building trades. They refused to let girls in the class citing safety issues. I learned cement, plumbing, basic electric, roofing, and construction from my grandpa building hunting hunting cabins. I also learned car care from my dad and grandpa when learning to drive. I still do almost all of my own work alongside my husband. Thanks for the good memory reminders.

I've worked with nailer in furniture manufacturing. Most have a little contact safety that if they are not depressed against something will not fire. (only two on myself) I used one 7 hours a day for a couple years. I've literally seen hundreds of injuries to them and staple guns. You have got to be way more inattentive or have disengaged the safety feature to get hurt. The only really bad injuries are if the nail/staple bends when it punches through the bone, hits a vein/artery, or a big nerve. The rest just sting and bleed.

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

@@nudl3Zz You can still damage your ears even when using hearing aids. Hearing aids make so your hearing range is larger, but doesn't stop the pressure wave from damaging it. Think of it like this. With hearing loss, it would be like you wearing a bunch of thick clothing and some one pokes you with a finger. You're able to feel the prod, but you would have a harder time making out the exact point they poked you vs your bare skin. A loud enough sound to damage your ears would be like a punch (in this analogy, the clothing wouldn't be able to soften the blow, unless you were wearing clothing designed to soften it, e.g. earplugs). Another way of thinking it, is if you look at a sound save like a sine wave. Frequency is your hearing range and is usually measured in hertz (1 cycle/s = 1 Hz). Amplitude is how tall the waves get when you change the volume and is measured in decibels (dBA). Amplitude is the energy of the pressure wave and is the primary concern for hearing protection.

I may be incorrect but I think in the video where he talks about his hearing aids they actually have a noise canceling function that he can kick in via his phone so that might be the case.

Watching adam realize it's a tight 6 person table when he hoped it was a 7 person, Something I've done before, before building it, draw it up in sketchup, then use a program like VRSketch to test out the table, sitting at it, etc. I did this recently when buiding a custom table for DND that had an inside and desk trays for each person. Worked great to let someone sit at it and test it out to request changes before I even put metal to wood.

Biscuits are good for lining things up because the move a bit, but they provide almost no actual support, the festool dowel system is where it's at....but I certainly don't have the cash for that one

After seeing this I'd love to see Adam make an automated (Riichi/Japanese) Mahjong table. I know it's not very relevant in the west but It's an enjoyable game once you know it but most of all I think it would make for an interesting challenge. Having those stones mixed then sorted and presented properly is going take a lot of parts working together perfectly.

"Do you really need torx head screws?" I don't know that we can be friends anymore Adam.

[@diynevala]

We need to educate him better.

[@treborrrrr]

Hah, I had those exact words in my head and knew that I couldn't be alone. Scroll down the comments and bam, there it is. Torx screws are fantastic. No more having to put your whole weight behind the screwdriver to keep the damn thing from slipping and stripping the screw head. No more picking a Phillips when you really needed a Pozi and it never quite works right. No more picking a Phillips that is slightly too small, but it kinda works, so you go for it anyways aaaand... destroyed screw. With torx, if it fits, it's the right bit and you can drive them in without worrying about the bit slipping out or mangling the head of the screw so you never get it back out. It just works and I love it. Ok, I'll stop ranting now :)

[@virtuous-sloth]

@@treborrrrr What about Robertson screws/driver?

[@treborrrrr]

@@virtuous-sloth I have very little experience with that type. But by the few times I've used them I did like those quite a bit as well.

When he cams out a Philips head he will think again about the torx.
