Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Snub-Nosed Blade Runner Blasters!

Adam puts together a beautiful Blade Runner-inspired snub-nosed blaster kit! Both Norm and Adam both work on their kits, each taking a different approach to the paint and finish. Adam goes one step further by adding machined metal parts to his blaster, giving it a brilliant look and some real heft. The blasters turned out amazing!

Adam Savage may be a little obsessed with Blade Runner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anW4hn-sha-Hnc0

[@will3505]

Id love to have adam as a teacher for building props and special effects. I wish i could do this stuff for a living.

[@johnmoyle4195]

Adam Savage is also a little obsessed with Adam Savage. I’ve noticed that he is very quick to snatch away opportunities for other people to speak when their turn finally comes along. His ego is unfortunately as big as his talent.

[@lukecunningham5804]

@@johnmoyle4195 I'd hate to be slowed down by this norm dude. A lot of people seem to like his input but why can't we just watch the master? I don't know what you mean about him snatching others opportunities to talk but if he did, who cares? He's an awesome designer and craftsman.

[@johnmoyle4195]

In the first three minutes, Adam TWICE interrupts Norm when he is presenting information as context, first about the snubnose kit, second about the different grips. Adam just stops Norm and takes over. If you watch other videos in which he and Norm "collaborate" you will notice that he always does this. Adam IS talented, but that isn't relevant to my criticism of his manners. Jamie Hyneman gave Adam (an employee) a unique opportunity in 2003, to be a co-presenter on the Mythbusters show. Jamie knew that he didn't have the personality to make the show a success so he brought Adam into the project. When they worked on that show, they were equals in front of the camera. Norm isn't as experienced and compared to Adam, he might be a little dull. However, he deserves the respect of being able to finish what he wanted to say, especially considering that Adam will be doing most of the talking during the rest of the video. Norm could be a much better presenter if Adam could learn to take a step back occasionally. I believe that there is a cultural difference here though. In my country, American visitors often annoy us with their social manners. They present themselves as very loud, opinionated and arrogant. We value restraint, the ability to step back from time to time and let others speak.

[@thomasminnick7019]

This video has a really cool master and apprentice feel to it, almost like he's teaching norm the finer points of the craft just as much as he's showing the audience the build. Its just a cool atmosphere and relationship between the two of them there.

[@nickbradbury7160]

[@SpydersByte]

I like Norm's color scheme much more but I've got to say Adam did an amazing job making his look like realistic metal. Based on a picture alone I would've never doubted that. The black wash really does a lot to sell it.

[@AcheliusDecimus]

When you spoke of the memory of your father, it really reminded me of how I missed out. My dad was an absentee, and we did nothing like this together. I am just glad me and my son is spending tonnes of time together so he can say, "My father would.." Awesome video Adam.

This has to be the best-edited episodes of a One Day Build!!! The soundtrack selection works so well with the theme of the build, the blending of clips that segway into one another and the pace of the build process is engaging from start to finish, the list goes on. Pure gold. Love your work Tested.

[@dolphin64575]

"The polishing wheels singular desire in life is to hurl the part you've just spent an hour getting ready to polish, all the way across the shop into the bin of other crap that looks like your part, and you'll never find it."

[@Cyberspine]

Adam, I've worked in the metal industry and we'd regularly use spirits to help with cutting or sanding aluminum. It evaporates quickly and leaves no risk of rust.

[@joshw6315]

Personally I prefer it when norm actually does things and helps rather than standing around talking. It adds to it rather than taking away from the quality of the video. Like to see more like this in the future

[@vegansarestudid5041]

Most definitely, he's part of the show!

Many folks will be unable to put their finger on specific items in the video, but you'll still clearly be able to experience or "feel" the storytelling that's being done in this video, and all by a person that never appeared on the screen. Mad Props to the #editors! Job well done.

And we get in-depth weathering tips from Adam; a promising chrome paint technique; two great-looking Blade Runner prop projects in detail; even some pretty cool music...an hour long!

Adam Savage and the Blade Runner blaster - The greatest love story of our time.

[@joereimer3708]

Nakna_ankaN no, not the blaster and Adam. Adam and Norm.

[@aaron4820]

Saw a few questions about why the Blaster has two triggers, despite only having one barrel. As someone who has a fair amount of experience with firearms and love "hard scifi", my favorite post-rationalised explanation is actually realized in a VR game H3VR, and it's as follows: The gun is basically a revolver that holds 6 rounds, the "magazine" in front of the trigger guard is a battery compartment, seen with a battery already inserted with two glowing lights, and on top, there is a bolt action element that works on ejecting a replaceable heatsink. Trigger A fires the bullets in normal fashion, like any other gun with normal performance. Trigger B is the railgun mode, electromagnetically accelerating the same bullets fired from the same cylinder, but at much higher velocity that is possible with chemical ignition. This is where the battery and heatsink comes in, after firing a few rounds, the gun will heat up too much, the bolt action mechanism allows the user to replace the heatsink with a fresh cool one to continue firing in hyper velocity mode, not unlike barrel change in machine guns. This is my favorite explanation for what was essentially an aesthetically driven design based on kit bashing, and you can see it in action and the dev's explanation in-game here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnLRaHl_asiXqtE

[@caesar2164]

or a hair-trigger?

[@HunterTinsley]

Wow. That's awesome. Did they just come up with that, or is it based on design notes/BR lore?

[@bassemb]

I have so much fun with the LAPD 2019 Special in Take & Hold mode. Ahh now I feel like playing H3VR.

[@barneymiller7894]

I figured it was a target rifle set trigger, although I have no idea why you would want a set trigger on a handgun 🤷‍♂️

[@MJ-ge6jz]

It is truly an honor to be able to see a master builder at work and to gleam years of acquired knowledge in a single hour. I have so many future projects which will harness this awesome information. Thanks Adam...

[@Pile_of_carbon]

27:18 I can totally relate. As a shop teacher, very little brings me more joy than when my students drop the I-want-this-to-be-done-yesterday attitude and embrace the joy of finish work like sanding, polishing and going for stain and varnish instead of acrylic paint.

[@zacharytribou2728]

sochyvonn nora a spring or rubber band could of done

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

Machine a pocket farther into the frame, drill a pocket for a spring on the frame and trigger to push it forwards. For fixing cross drill through frame and trigger, enlarge hole in the trigger to install a small bushing made from 1/8" brass tube to allow smooth movement of the trigger, then fix with a roll pin. Sounds like a lot of work but it's a drop in the bucket compared to this entire build and beyond milling the frame out, which could be done with a die grinder or drill press if you don't have a mill, there aren't any special tools needed.

[@weepingwell]

I am just guessing, but if they made the triggers move they would have to make them at least click, therefor more little moving parts and probably exceeding the 'one day' build time.

[@madcowrebel4216]

37:01 exactly is the difference between prop makers and scale modellers. Adam has allowed dust to contaminate his chrome. For the film camera this means nothing. In a model show this means everything.

[@WolfoBoi546]

I'm not even a model kit builder and I noticed that! I was like NOOOOOOO

[@JoggingWithForks]

@18:10 "You could snap a tap in here and then this part is no longer usable". Not necessarily true. A solution of alum and water will dissolve the broken ferritic tap but not the aluminium. Well, technically speaking it will eat up the aluminium as well, but at a much slower pace than the high speed steel or carbon steel tap. Immerse the workpiece, or if it's too big simply build a little dam with clay around the hole and fill with alum solution. It can take several hours for the tap to dissolve. But the important part here is that a broken tap in aluminium doesn't always ruin the part. And one of the best tapping fluids for aluminium is regular denatured alcohol, it not only works every bit as good as WD40, it has the added bonus of not leaving a residue that would otherwise contaminate the part prior to painting.

[@socaljake562]

PJ thank you very much for sharing your trade secret. One of the reasons why I read comments

[@KingNast]

PJ Have you ever actually tried the alum trick? I've been trying to get a broken screw extractor out of a bolt for 2 weeks with that method and it has barely made a dent. I even made a copper reservoir around it so I can heat it with a torch. Maybe I'm not using enough alum

[@earpunpaso]

in Time 6:45 When you use lathe and chip comes out in long string. DO NOT hold it by hand. Speciallity NOT by bare hand, use saw protctition gloves, but better if you use thin iron bar whit hook to guide string out. if the string catch a lathe head, it will cut your fingers of.

[@richardmillhousenixon]

It ain't gonna cut your fingers off. Cut them up, maybe, but off, no. That ain't gonna be able to cut clean through bone that easily.

[@Emilyogel1]

Did you seriously just tell someone to wear gloves while using a lathe! Thats how you loose your hand if you're lucky, your life if you're not lucky.Never wear any type of gloves past something like the thin blue latex free gloves when doing any type of machining process. It is one of the most dangerous things you could ever do. If you do noty belive me look up de gloving injury. The injury doesn't get its name from the victim wearing gloves but rather from the way your skin/tissue acts as it gets ripped from your bone. It gets ripped off in a similar fashion to a glove getting ripped off. This is the same reason your shouldn't be weraing any type of ring near a machine, an end mill grabs that shit and you can say good by to that finger.

[@chibinecco1981]

It's amazing, around about 43:40 minutes, Adam starts gluing his all together and I LITERALLY had this moment like, "Why is he trying to superglue metal pieces together? That's not going to hold at-.... wow... that's a REALLY good paint job." I JUST WATCHED him paint these plastic pieces, and it's SO CONVINCING, I forgot in the three-ten seconds it took him to cut and transition to gluing them together. Also, when working with transparent/semi-transparent builds, don't forget you can paint the INSIDE of the piece. Amber, especially has a LOT of interior texture to it, adding in some weathering to the back-side can help with the realism on that one 8D And if you're ESPECIALLY brave, cut it in half or slice a HYPER-thin groove into it, paint that groove, and glue it back together. Amber is RARELY ever even a little bit flawless, so the more you can rough it up without actually doing anything to the exterior texture, the better. This is where that test piece and scraps to experiment with is VERY important.
