Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Tintype Photo Clamp for Gary Oldman!

Adam helps out actor Gary Oldman with one of his hobbies in this week's build! Gary is an avid photographer, and practices the craft of wet plate photography. For that tintype process, he needed a way to mount his large glass photo plates to clean and prep. Adam builds and sends Gary a custom clamp for that purpose and we get to see the unboxing!

Here's a little more about Gary Oldman and his work with wet plate photography: geoffandrew.com/2016/12/13/through-gary-oldmans-eyes-the-star-gets-behind-a-camera-again/

[@auslocksmiths2553]

Hi Adam, what brand of tap set do you use? Thanks

You are almost twins

[@adammarkiewicz3375]

This is all fake to hide the real goal: Creation of perfect Bat Signal.

[@MartinPlanner2]

felt could have been used on the rabbit grooves to prevent the glass from slipping in the wood. as well as you could have added 4 rubber or silicone or plastic legs to elevate it off the table, so the handle is rotatable in laying down position as he tried it. include a user manual! :D the directional instructions are funny, but come on...what about the safety instructions labels?!?! :D learn from "AVE" and make some of your own! good to see you used oak, i only hope you oiled it and not lacqkered

[@maxim.1734]

I am from russia I watch you Adam with English subtitles. You could also make Russian subtitles. I watched you on discovery in Mithbusters and now on youtube. СПАСИБО АДАМ.

[@jakemeyer8188]

I'm sure the rest of the Tested crew is wanting to get back to work as usual and are still working hard remotely, but in the meantime, big kudo's to Adam for keeping up with the content creation schedule he's maintaining. It's quite admirable, particularly as a leader.

[@aikumaDK]

Fingers crossed for the output to remain as is, when the crew can return to the cave.

[@Glisern]

Honestly, the level is output, and in many ways, the quality of the output is WAY better now than it was.

[@Alleroc]

@@Glisern I know right? It's so personal, and honestly just gives me huge nostalgia from growing up watching him on mythbusters. I kinda never want the format to go back to the way it was.

[@steeldamiano]

@Jose Aguirre I would love to just be a fly on the wall and hear their conversations.

[@TandemTuba]

Adam is so down to Earth I sometimes forget a sentence like "I was corresponding with Gary Oldman" is pretty normal for the level of celebrity he has attained!

[@AnonymousMycologist]

Especially since they're both makers! I'm sure it's exactly those connections that keep him grounded like you said.

[@jakobvanklinken]

Let's not kid ourselves, when Adam says "Well, Gary and I were discussing the other day..." he is well aware that to everyone watching theres nothing normal about talking to a celebrity like that. To "casually" drop celebrity names is more t smug thing to do, rather than the down to earth thing, it fits him imo,

[@DharmaJannyter]

@@jakobvanklinken Just because someone's famous doesn't mean you'll always see them as "Omg it's Gary Oldman!". Once you get to know people beyond their stardom you get used to them like any other person you become friends with.

Yeah, it's easy to forget Adam's celeb status.

Gary's joy at the reveal is so lovely. This makes me want to build something for someone.

[@rachael2177]

I agree, I've been making sketch books for a friend for their birthdays almost yearly now, hand sewn, with high weighted paper, and cloth and cardboard for the cover. My friend really treasures them, with a small section of their cupboard dedicated to the books.

Stylistically, from an editing point of view, one of the best videos yet. Watching you put this together and make something so simple and yet so beautiful, amazing. But my favorite part of the entire video, is getting to hear Gary Oldman actually speak in his natural speaking voice. That's rare.

Gary Oldman needs a KZbin channel. That is a very interesting hobby to share with the people.

[@legacyweaponry]

You sir are a true renaissance man and an incredible artist! I truly believe that there will never be another Adam Savage as long as humanity is on this Earth. You have been an inspiration to myself and to millions of people all over the world. Thank you for everything you do and all the tips, tricks, showing tails and product info. to help all of us makers, and those in the professional FX communities and the cosplay communities, you are definitely inspiration and a hero to us all!!!!

[@392redienhcs]

This could actually have been the case during the Renaissance when artists would commission a unique tool from a woodsmith in order for them to create their masterpieces.

[@Laurabeck329]

I just realised how simillar Gary Oldman and Adam Savage actually are (although Gary can and does look like pretty much anybody).

[@mattlewandowski73]

I have to admit... as the clip FIRST started rolling my thought was "why is adam dressed like this?" but the voices where significantly different.

[@liamhoughton]

I absolutely love the mutual respect these guys have for eachother. Brilliant work that is clearly appreciated

[@paulagebhardt6018]

Everything about this video is lovely. As a maker, I love everything from the clips of Adam thinking through things (to see his process) to the gratification of making something useful for an appreciative friend. As a consumer of media, I love his energy and the lovely meandering story of creating a final product with a satisfying ending. Lovely job, Adam! Inspiring all of us creators while also continuing to be an accomplished storyteller.

[@steeldamiano]

Adam, that is a thing of beauty. The simple functional design with the beauty of a 19th century tool. The steampunk in me is smiling from ear to ear. Also Gary Oldman is in my opinion the best actor of the 20th and so far the 21st century. Thank you for all the great videos.

I want to see more of this type of video.

Like the can of soup leg for couch. Would have loved to see the persons face.

It makes me so happy to see two different people from different parts of the world, doing different things, come together and solve a problem together which gives both creators more things to create. What I wonderful concept. Thank you Mr. Savage for creating what you do. Thank you Mr. Oldman for creating what you. And thank you both for encouraging people to create wonderful things to leave the world a better place than they found it. Much respect to both of you.

Gary Oldman is by far one of my favorite actors in the biz at the moment. Everything he does he does exceedingly well. I always fall back to even his small roles he puts so much love and care into them. Drexel is still one of my favorite performances in a film and it'ssuch a small scene in the film. "He must of thought it was white boy dey." 😂

The satisfaction of getting gratitude when helping someone out, in a small or big way, is something that is hard to beat. Nice work Adam, as always.

My favorite part as a maker. As much as I love the building process, and hate the stress of "will they like it" I have never been let down by the feeling of seeing someone open and cherish my blood, sweat, and tears. Watching this gave me a taste of that. Excellent work, thank you!

[@LogHouseFarm]

[@darrensmith527]

Wow that sink at 8:00 took me back to when I used to make printing plates, it looked just like that. Funny how such simple things remind you of good times. And a beautiful clamp you cannot beat something that is hand made and bespoke it just has that old time human feel that you just don't get from mass produced items.

[@eFeXuy]

It's nice that you include non accelerated footage of the lathe. I know fast forwarding is the only way to show progress in a reasonable time but it is good to have a reminder that turning and milling metal is not a fast process.

[@orb505]

I know because of the current world circumstances that Adam cannot have his professional team of camera people around but I must say I'm enjoying these "home made" videos more than the professional ones from pre-lockdown. Although then dont have the quality they have a much more personal and "hand made" feel which, for me at least, makes me feel like I'm more involved in the whole maker process. I hope they continue. The videos are about making stuff yourself and they now feel at makery as what they're filming

[@fredbrooks1386]

The builds, ideas, skill, and enthusiasm are infectious. During these times, you my maker friend, are adding a very valuable escape.

[@qrubmeeaz]

I'd like to suggest a handful of improvements for Version 2: 1. Rubber jaws for the clamps. These will prevent over-tightening and cracking the glass. Also, won't absorb chemicals over time and transfers them to the glass. 2 . Rubber contact in the middle for the same reason. 3. A handle to hold the clamp while cleaning, that's not the same as the tightening knob. 4. Self-lubricating bushing for the aluminium rods. Any oil based lubricant will wash off, or even transfer to hands, and then glass. 5. Easy disassembly for cleaning.
