Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Traveling Beaver Box

One Day Builds return! This week, Adam constructs a traveling case for Winston, a dashing beaver that's also the official mascot of The Talking Room. Winston's box needs to be a very specific size to fit in airplane overhead bins, so a little taxidermy surgery is required. Winston goes under the knife!

[@tested]

We apologize in advance for all the beaver puns.

[@pushpopLoC909]

No worries... the comments have some of their own. Lol

[@KeatonX92]

A good pun never requires an apology.

[@BenedekFarkas]

***** Hey, I think it's this one: pipeline.corante.com/archives/things_i_wont_work_with/ Great video btw, thanks!

[@CaptainMcSmoky]

No, I apologise for not realising that Adam had such a lovely beaver...

[@ErikFoxJackson]

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Traveling Beaver Box that look sold the joke for me.

[@jemmarobinson9377]

I love the way he keeps stroking Winston.

[@bismuth8387]

I love the way that he is just casually drilling a hole in a beaver's foot.

[@isaiahbaker3597]

I want someone to look at me the way he looks at that beaver 😂

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Jemma Chapman He really does love stroking his beaver. Because he cares! ;-)

[@jemmarobinson9377]

Michael Berthelsen how could you not care about such a gorgeous beaver

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Jemma Chapman Exactly...!

[@jamesmcmillanclyne391]

when I saw the title and thumbnail I thought Adam was making a box inside the beaver, not a box for it

[@raisinmydog]

Me too. I really wanted a suitcase made from the beaver. what would he store in it though?

[@GlaDurDeaD]

Consecutive smaller taxidermied beavers.

[@jeremyjasona]

***** Oh my gish they would have to murder a beaver family

[@jemmarobinson9377]

[@fearsomerabbit]

+TheSpudtatoe That will be another show I'm sure.

[@WynneEden]

For a moment, I thought you were turning the taxidermied beaver into a box to use when you traveled. To be honest, that was what drew me to the video initially.

[@skyboxproductions4627]

Wynne Eden I'm not gonna lie either, that was my thoughts too 😂😂 can you tell its late

[@RubiconArt]

Same. Still wasn't disappointed, though.

[@Nirvanexus]

Put a label on the box saying Beaverly Hills

[@thatHARVguy]

Install a sound card so that it plays *Hello, My Baby!* when opened. :-)

[@hardminder]

+thatHARVguy then it would need some speakers and a playback device too. Maybe a sound chip would be a better idea...

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

[@spuddie3207]

I just spend 33 minuets watching Adam Savage build a case for a dead beaver. My life man.

[@Kabitu1]

It´s not your fault. Yesterday I watched 26 minutes of Adam showcasing different versions of the same toy pistol. Everything is interesting when that man is talking.

[@Imal00ter20]

There's another video around 30 minutes or so of Adam Savage frying an egg, which is one of my favorites.

[@elstoggy]

Not every day that I sit and watch a man build a box for his beaver for 30 minutes

[@ZeroDisturbed]

Unless that man is Adam Savage

[@CorporalCookieGaming]

Unless that *God is Adam Savage

[@rmoim99]

[@yoji0]

...oh, so it's a box *for* the beaver, not *made* from it. I was wondering what the hell that title meant.

[@jamesfujita3830]

+yoji0 I thought they just put the box inside of the beaver, so you could open his stomach and stuff things into it

[@Logiwonk]

+yoji0 I likewise thought they were turning the beaver into a box, and I am disappoint.

[@msgoodnight7731]

+yoji0 Me too but I thought that enter will be in beaver's ass

[@nyx9208]

+Logiwonk ya me to weirdly

+yoji0 - I honestly had NO IDEA what to expect from the title. I am glad Winston got a nice box in which to travel!

[@isaiahbaker3597]

5:50 "I'll include a Phillips screwdriver, so installing him... is a positive experience" one of the geekiest puns I've ever heard 😂

Maybe if he was using PoziDriv

[@alexwales8914]

[@cutiepeachiepie338]

[@WMfin]

And yet again. I sat here +30min watching when someone makes a box. For a beaver. Needless to say, it was very intriguing!

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

I actually thought you were making a box out of a beaver carcass...

[@slackjaw703]

Oddly enough, that's not the first time I've seen sparks fly from a beaver... A metal chastity belt and a grinder were involved if I remember right. Brave woman.

[@wakawakawakawack8782]

take a shot every time he pets the beaver

[@diwrnod]

or every time he says "exactly".

[@mala_berlin]

4 minutes into the video and i'm full on drunk

[@sergiogutierrez692]

a golden name plate for Winston would be a nice touch to the beaver box

[@MrBouncyballoons]

i love how every time adam touches the beaver he strokes it lol

[@fredfinks]

For some reason its not voting you up. It is a very strokable beaver. I would pet him too.

[@CaydeSmax]

he likes petting his beaver.

[@brianstryker4536]

What you don't stroke your beaver anytime you touch it? I was always taught to handle beavers with care and softness.

[@jjbonedi1]

For those looking for "things i wont work with", the site he stated doesnt exist. The website he is referring to is "pipeline.corante. com/archives/things_i_wont_work_with" (remove the space before "com", i did this so the youtube bots dont mistake the comment for spam and delete it)

"Sir, is this your beaver?"

[@LiquidSoulfly]

I just sat here for about 30ish minutes watching a man make a traveling case for a dead beaver. I regret nothing!

[@simonmcneair601]

every time Adam touches him, whether demonstrating something or moving him, he has to give him a little pet. Adorable!

[@sharronperez2739]

Winston is, by far, the cutest beaver I've ever seen. This was a cool build.

[@greatlakesuperiordeepviewsvide]

Canadian here eh, and thi is a disgusting show today. The little baby stuffed beaver is so little. The architect of the land so disrespected. And you suck too. Eh.

[@madman3332]

This is the BEST job one could ever possibly have. I mean these people totally LOVE what they are doing, they put so much passion in it, its just ... amazing you know. It is very hard (at least for me it is) to find something you enjoy doing, and do it on a daily basis. I hope someday I will find a job that will make me as happy as these guys are.

[@StewMM]

It's always relaxing, watching Adam build a box.

[@mooneyes2k478]

"That is the first time you've ever seen sparks fly from a beaver." Speak for yourself, Adam!

[@WILD4X4D]

Where in the heck did you see sparks fly from a beaver before this?

[@imshanedulong]

You might want to use lube then.

[@hw936bzsten]

MoonEyes2k sounds like a really strange fetish to me

[@mikamo]

5:10 not the first time I've seen a beaver getting drilled though.

[@mikamo]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@scenicsp]

I love the passion Adam shows in his work. Everything MUST be done at full pace! We all have that inner child within that just will Not slow down when the excitement flows. All I know is, when there's a beaver involved, I certainly won't slow down.

[@ryandavies964]

Adam knows how to treat a beaver right. Thats one tight box.

[@ikyiAlter]

I love these one day builds, especially when it involves a box.

[@EXPHunterForce]

I love seeing how Adams mind works on builds like this!

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

This is the nicest beaver box I have ever seen!!

[@BernardManansala]

I can't help but giggle every time Adam pets his beaver.

[@Tactical_Fatty]

The one thing I will move heaven and earth to complete on my bucket list, is to get together with Adam Savage and make a custom handmade box, to hold my handmade books. Adam truly is a mentor to box therapy. SOrry, Box MAKING therapy.

[@FarBikeShop]

I appreciate how in the zone Adam looks when he is working. Its the creative mental state you only get when making.

[@TheWeredude]

Always love when Adam is in the zone. Middle of the build and hes just running around the shop, hair is everywhere. That's when you know you got him in his zone. Love this series!

[@the_doskias]

I have to imagine there aren't more than a dozen humans on the planet that have Adam's "I need to bring this beaver on the plane" problem. I really love this planet sometimes.

[@Nothinglastsforever]

I fucking love seeing Adam Savage work.

[@ThanenJ]

I love how much Adam pets his beaver, he doesn't want ruffled beaver hair. Lets be honest, no one wants ruffled beaver hair.

[@scarletfluerr]

Yeah but I bet a Taxidermist would hate all that oil and dirt from their hands on the fur.

[@AquaPeet]

@@scarletfluerr Taxidermists are the only people who hate seeing beavers getting shaved to get rid of dirty ruffled hair.

[@MrLehi99]

16:31 "Are you gonna do this on the table saw?" *As Adam is adjusting his work-piece to fit on the table saw.* Genius of the year award goes to Will.

[@remusgrrrl]

Being Canadian, I thoroughly approve of a well made Beaver box. This was great to watch.

[@MichaelKieweg]

When I first read the title of this episode, I expected Adam to build a box out of the beaver. Greetings from Germany

[@TheAmmoniacal]

Glue works by a range of mechanisms, molecular adhesion and mechanical fixation being the two primary ones. Glue itself is either an uncatalyzed polymer or a solid dissolved in a volatile liquid. Every surface will be very rough on a molecular level, and most will have large crevasses and cavities. A surface like paper will have tens of layers of fibers before the density become considerably high (look up an electron microscope picture of the materials). This lets liquids or pastes seep deep into the material before it hardens. Most of the resulting adhesion is due to mechanical forces (which are essentially electrical), you'll have a hard solid material surrounding several millions molecules (cellulose fibers for example). And these will stick in place for the same reason telephone book pages will (if you have seen the trick).

[@juliannicholls]

I could watch Adam build stuff all day. In fact, I probably will.

[@Betweentheatoms]

i really love these videos. It's nice to see how good Adam is. Because the newer episode's of Mythbusters is right to the point with the myths, and don't let you see how they came up with the things.

[@evercuriousmichelle]

I really enjoyed that aspect of older episodes as well.

[@Xplorer228]

Oh damn I really thought they were going to turn the beaver into a box.

[@Juniversal]

lol me too...

[@sherriweibert3311]

It was sweet how much he loves Winston and how he treats him so respectfully. 😁

[@kippadr4338]

you know.. ive know people that can be as savy and creative as adam but he takes it to a new level with his speed.. all of them take their time with their dimentions to make sure its perfect... but from what ive seen he has way more confidence in his hustle... good work dude!

[@willbennett47]

The man is a master craftsman

[@SheDMontford]

When I was 18 I worked for CIG - Commonwealth Industrial Gases as their "Little Beaver" spray painting demonstrator. Little beaver was their economical home spray painting kit - I was so naive I had not idea of the and no one told me for 6 months. So there I was a little blonde, in a skintight blue overall thinking that at each of the demonstrations(2 per week for 6 months in busy supermarket and hardware stores) that I was so entertaining that people were actually chuckling along at my jokes

[@macrick]

Cheers for the personal info, let's get back to Winston now. ;)

[@chrisevans3804]

What amazes me about these 1 day builds is the speed with which Adam moves around the shop. From taking measurements to making cuts and drilling holes, he makes short work of things!

[@Andrewlang90]

You sir, have forgotten more about woodworking and engineering then I can hope to learn in a lifetime. Another fantastic video, and keep them rolling. Man, what I would give to spend a day with you in your shop and try to sponge up as much info as possible!!

[@girrrrrrr2]

I feel like winston wants some nice crushed purple velvet for his lid interior... It just seems like the right thing.

[@rebeliouse17]

I absolutely love watching Adam work on projects like this. The way he frantically runs aaround and does what he needs too is sort of beautiful. There's a confidence to the way he does it and a certain fluidity at the same time

[@MickeyCuervo36]

Man, the TSA at the San Fran airports must be like, "Oh God... here comes Savage again... Wonder what he's got THIS time..." XD

[@wwdavis8989]

the real question is how do you get a screwdriver through airport security

[@fustigate314159]

+wwdavis8989 If it's under 7", it's fine by TSA. 1.5" blade on a pocket knife?? Nope; airline pilots/flight attendants' union doesn't want them. But bring as many 7" screw drivers as you want.

[@bigsmackisback]

Adam sure does love his boxes. And for some reason i find watching him make them hypnotising and seem to feel his genuine pleasure when the plan comes together in the end. Just wish my shed was a faction well equipped as his!

[@pooperdrop]

I really enjoyed the brainstorming here, it was great to see the project evolve.

[@reaclea7628]

I actually though you were gonna make a box from Winston, not a box for him :D

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Nice project. I think it needs some additional internal padding. I'd hate to see the foot break from being mishandled. I know it's a carry-on, but there's a chance for damage in other situations.

[@Bruceskyy]

Also am I the only one who thinks that is still way too big for carry on? Maybe I'm misjudging the dimensions but it looks huge

[@tripleaaa4409]

Is that beaver real?

[@alainischileno]

Did you see the last 15 seconds of the video?

[@scottwpilgrim]

@@Bruceskyy the guideline that airlines use is 10-15% smaller than the overhead compartment/underseat space. This is to accommodate shoddy luggage standards and people who overpack trying to get away with everything.

[@93midnightsunrise]

I love how Winston is carefully observing every step of his box being built.

[@MultiMacsek]

How cool would be if Mythbusters builds were shown in details like this... Every episode would be like 5 hours but much more interesting :)

[@jmgfx4161]

He's wrong about that being the first time I've seen sparks fly from a beaver. I saw one once hit an electrical fence and it sparked.

[@dustinmosley2743]

[@WhackyRavenLand]

I thought, by reading the title, that you'd be building a travel box of Winston. Turn him into a suitcase...

[@kunstsein]

Had the same train of thought. I imagined that the beaver's body could have a compartment, to store some liqueur.

[@thepuppetmagician]

Adam could make a living running a high end box shop. Just making nice fancy boxes for people. He’s good at it.

[@iarebrown]
