Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Star-Lord's Walkman!

[@robertmalone1694]

Can i just say the rustic charm of Adam's shop is amazing... like as you look around you can see anything from gatling guns to space suits, from countless tool racks to numerous shape crafting mechanisms... it brings a smile to my face to see the organized mayhem of all the beautifully crafted doodads and trinkets around Adam's shop

[@MrPDawes]

Looks even better in VR on the Oculus Quest where Adam takes you on a tour of his workshop. Just wish I had one with all the tools and materials he has. Just jaw dropping.

I would have added a small cheap mp3 player, so that it has at least one small function

[@Spazza42]

Why? An MP3 player isn’t relevant to Starlord’s character or story....

[@BTVRhoenrad]

@@Spazza42 because it's a walkman. A Walkman was a device to play music. An the Music is relevant for Starlord

[@D1-Games]

That was the one thing I was waiting for, actually. Sony marketed the Walkman as giving you the soundtrack of your life, so it would be extra awesome to be able to play Vol1 while walking around in costume... 😎

[@Spazza42]

@@BTVRhoenrad That’s not the point of character. His Walkman was given to him by his mother who made mixtapes of all the songs she listened to growing up so he could experience them as well, it’s his childhood connection to her. If he wanted a functioning Walkman he’d have been better off buying a real one, not building one. The Zune is only relevant because it was intended as a gift from Yondu. It was given during a moment of clarity of who his real dad was, and to replace his conveniently broken Walkman. MP3’s have nothing to do with it aside from giving a prop a function, even though an MP3 player would be a pointless cost.

If adam can afford to buy a spectral prop suit and gun that is valued at couple of thousand bucks a walkman is a drop in the ocean, but also he's not likely to wear that for a con is he ?

[@Dyloniuss]

Wow. Lots of replies. I do realize he can afford them, and making is fun and perfect for content. It just seems like a Pelican case would be one of his favorite items, since he loves storage. Plus they're basically a forever item with how durable they are, so it didn't make sense to use it IMO. That said, he does what he wants. who cares. just thought it was kind of funny.

Siana Gearz I don’t understand how people watch videos or listen to podcasts at higher than normal speeds. It sounds so unnatural and is harder to follow.

[@SianaGearz]

@@AlasdairGR Depends. To me, most people talk too slowly and aren't economical with time, i can speed them up by 25-50% and it would still be fine, especially if they aren't conveying any information that is too challenging to process. Of course there are opposites, the guy doing biotech and physics science videos at The Thought Emporium, who i wish spoke on average 20% slower, but unfortunately time-stretching audio never works quite as well as time-compressing it. And sure, the sound is never entirely natural, but it is more intelligible than for example text-to-speech voice synthesis. You'll just get used to it. Double speed tends to be a bit borderline and sometimes you have to rewind.

Thank you for star Lord stuff Adam. It really helps a lot.

I just want to say that I find it somewhat comforting in knowing that Adam has the same reaction I do when I cut my hand. I have passed out several times after cutting my hand or even after seeing a gory screen in a movie. The first time it hit me was while watching 127 hours. It's honestly one of the worst feelings I have ever had. And while it does not happen every time I get a cut I always get anxious that I might start to feel terrible and then pass out.

[@DavidOstman]

Adam, I have the exact reaction as you do to cutting my hands, and it is absolutely terrifying because I basically go into shock for a bit, and can barely think while blood drains from my face and I get cold sweats, and have to sit down before I pass out.

What we see in the video is a man working, yes, he's having fun and likes what he does, but it's still his job, the only difference between him and someone working in an office or a factory is that Adam got a camera pointed at him. He can't justify spending $400 for the working walkman, that doesn't contradict justifying EARNING money by creating a prop, in one case he losses money, in the other case he earns it, so there's no contradiction, he made the obvious and right choice.

I use to do tournament bowling ( I know, so cool ;p ) "back in the day", and just had a new bowling ball drilled for my fingers. Stupid as I was, I first used it in a tournament and got a nasty flesh wound on the side of my thumb from friction over the course of the tournament. So my coach comes over with a small super glue spray bottle and without warning sprayed my thumb with it. Holy shit did that hurt! Mostly the surprise factor of it I'm sure. But it was highly effective and lasted the rest of the tournament without any more paint throughout. Why am I telling anyone this... Too much coffee.

You can actually buy "medical grade" superglue, which uses a more human-friendly solvent.

That was awesome, well done on what is a superb eye for the smallest detail. P.s miss Mythbusters

I got an OG Walkman a few years ago for about 50-60 bucks, and I’ve been trying to get the pieces to fix it, without even realizing it has become a long time passion project

Nope, I did that as well.

I came into the comments just to say the same thing.

[@konzetsu6068]

Interesting fact, the predecessor of that Walkman flew in the Apollo missions, the TC-50 tape recorder (1968). Maybe an object for Adam to hunt down or replicate ;). That Walkman however, is one of the first models from 1979, and it was based on the TCM-600 tape recorder (1978). The Walkman itself came about when the founder of Sony wanted something more portable to listen to his music on the go, so the engineers basically took the TCM-600, ripped out the recording gear and speaker, upgraded the tape heads and added stereo....and painted it blue, of course

A tape/wheel mechanism from a less expensive sacrificial model tape-player would make this even better :)

I love how Adam comes up with a fully formed idea midway through talking to the camera and then quickly dashes off and does it in a minute better than most could do in an hour

Really impressed by all your projects Adam, keep up the good work!

you omitted the spindles that make the Cassette turn! =/ "oversite"

[@sbsmonkeyboy]

Yeah this really bugged me too.

[@jpdemer5]

Yeah, you could yank the guts out of any old Walkman and have a nicely detailed interior. But for a one-day build, this is pretty damned good.

[@simondoyle5173]

Yes, looks odd without them (which is a pity as the thing is otherwise really convincing) - even the ends off a couple of old black biro caps , fitted in the cassette holes, would have done to fill in the gaps.

[@gilbertcruz2161]

I dont imagine it being impossible being that it assembles from behind. Easy fix should he choose to nit pick later. Excellent build though.

They are still way cheaper than that Walkman haha and he only nicked a little chunk

A bit of the handle, it still functions as a pelican case.

[@elizabethc9565]

Question: why do you spray WD-40 after you glue in tiny pieces to the walkmann?

[@lavachemist]

It's accelerant for the CA glue, not WD-40.

[@elizabethc9565]

micvee ah! Thanks!

[@marcogallo2811]

This gave me flash backs of my Exacto knife injury. When I was in college for my design degree, we had to constantly cut boards to mount our projects. I had this brand new Exacto knife that was jammed in its sleeve. Idk if most ppl have seen the basic metal Exacto knife but the plastic blade sleeve has these little openings on both sides. When I pulled harder to remove the knife from its sleeve...The knife slide out the side of the sleeve through the opening and right unto my finger :)... i literally cut the tip of my middle finger off (no bone, just the flesh tip). It was just hanging off by a sliver of skin. I almost didn't feel a thing because of how sharp these blades are, that it cut me like butter. I lucky didn't go to the hospital though, I was able to just place the tip back on and my mother stitched it on. Of course, lots of blood and the tip of my finger is oddly shaped now lol

[@dropdudeee]

seems like the sort of thing a 3d printer would be perfect for lol

[@jackkuehneman9300]

Think it was more to show entry level makers what a cheap thing like styrene can do lol but yeah. Thought the same

3-D printed stuff looks like garbage. Which is why it's mostly intended for prototyping.

i mean or u could just buy a real walkman lol for like $20

@@finkalouh no? not starlords model. They go for hundreds of dollars

[@StrangelyIronic]

@@xnonsuchx Huh? I print rough sculpts I've done in zbrush all the time to make molds with. Of course I have to account for some filler and sanding followed by a sealer to make a smooth complete surface but it most definitely isn't garbage after a little bit of work. If it were a one off I could easily use the printed piece after being filled/sanded/primed for a final paint job but I generally want a batch made from the mold and keep that printed and worked piece as a master along with the digital files.
