Adam Savage's Workshop Office Door Build!

Adam gives a tour of his personal office inside his workshop in this One Day Build project to build a custom window into his office door. It's a shop improvement project that breathes new life into this aged door that's had all manner of stuff nailed to it over the years. It's also a chance for Adam to test a new tool he's never used before: an oscillating multitool!

[@douglascampbell9809]

Adam, If you take a flat head screwdriver and cut a slot in it the screwdriver becomes a tack puller. Sharpen the tip a bit to make it easier to get under staples and then twist the handle to twist and pull them out. I worked in furniture manufacturing for about 8 years. It's a must have tool there.

[@TheCammerhammer]

Adam Savage recommending a tool that he purchased and used of his own volition is worth so much more than any number of sponsored users praising a tool. I find his expertise in making and building props such a boon because he has such a broad range of experience building that he can find the proper use case for any well-crafted tool. The sincerity that he has when talking about the strong points of a tool is a breath of fresh air in a browsing experience polluted with partnerships and sponsored products everywhere you turn. I understand that people need to make a living and I cannot fault them for taking money from a willing advertiser. However, buying and using a tool with your own resources and using it on your own time rather than finding a project that suits the tool specifically makes me feel confident that Adam isn't selling me snake oil and genuinely wants me to know about something that could potentially make my building experience that much more pleasant.

[@thepoynt]

I gotta say, I really like the more down-to-earth, low-budget style of the quarantine videos. It's nice to see a little more of the process and hear more of Adam's stream-of-consciousness narration. Honestly they could stay this way moving forward and I'd be happy.

[@WIImotionmasher]

Adam has done an unusually good job filming content himself, like a true KZbinr.

[@petracoresage8288]

He's stressed and depressed and you can see it. Ergo the more then usual manic energy. The door project is subconscious need to lock the world out. That's why the hollow Core comment came out. It's too flimsy ergo unsafe.

[@ShinobiShane]

Nah there’s a bit of truth to what Petra said, in so far as Adam is very empathetic and I can see him handling his stress by working and distracting himself.

[@detroitboy65]

The nicest thing about Adam is he is an everyman and humbly so. When he goofs up (like the rest of us) he does not edit it out or seek to conceal the fact that he has erred. He gets frustrated and is not perfect, freely admitting when his knowledge is lacking. Also, I like that he does not look camera ready ever! Just like the rest of us! It is no wonder I am a little addicted to watching his voyages.

use silicone basting brushes instead of acid brushes. once the glue dries in the silicone brush you can slide the dried glue out and reuse the brush :) no sense in creating more waste

[@charleshanson9467]

I have a silicone brush for glue. The glue in the center of the bristles never dries and so getting the dried glue out is a multi-step process to let each layer dry out. Actually annoying. I just wash it with warm water when I'm done. Water WILL dry all the way through, and it doesn't mess up the water based glue if you use it wet.

[@bjornschmidt8231]

I was really shocked to hear that you use acid brushes only once and trash them. While you can certainly afford it, it is extremely wasteful and the exact opposite of sustainable. Whether you continue using acid brushes or go for the silicone variety, I suggest you dump them in a water-filled jar when you're done with them and include cleaning out the brushes and emptying the jar to the daily workshop shutdown checklist. That way whatever stock of acid brushes you have left will last you forever...

[@ThePhoenixAscendant]

I have a Sili-brush I bought from Amazon, and the bristles spread the glue wonderfully, and the blade on the other side gives me perfect edge clean-up! And cleaning the brush is super simple. I just stub it into warm running water and it flushes right out. If it dries on the bristles, it peels out no problem. And for less than $7 it's a fantastic product! www.amazon.com/Sili-Brush-Silicone-Wodworking-Hobbyists-Rubber/dp/B009OCEBD2/ Edit: A good way to work on a door without removing the screws is to pop the pins out of the hinges and it will be SO much easier!

[@1pcfred]

I just wash the brushes off and reuse them. I've been using the same 3 dozen for years.

Yes, exactly. I picked up a silicone brush from the kitchen utensil section of the local dollar store for this purpose.

For what it's worth, Adam, I found that grinding a knife edge on a used oscillating saw blade allows you to make amazing cuts on extruded foam board (insulating blue board). Nice tight fits with zero little blue "sawdust" all over the place. Sharpen ALL the edges, they all get used at one point or another. I found the ones with a wide head and the narrower "shank" where it connects to the tool work the best for me. Glad you've discovered a new expansion of your abilities! :)

Well the stapler has already had its moment in the sun. I'm astonished Adam's never used a multitool before! It's just his kind of thing with dozens of oddball uses; you'd think he'd have a one-day-build about making a holster for it to be in his EDC! 🤪 I avoided these things for a while for the same reasons he gave, but after reno-ing my attached studio with all the outlet holes in drywall and awkward trim cuts, I've come to appreciate mine greatly. Check out SeeJaneDrill's video about re-cutting the teeth on the attachments, otherwise you'll go broke replacing them as they lose teeth constantly. Also, I recommend getting one with an attachable plunge base to make accurate 90° cuts when needed.

@@mattrickard3716 Throw away that hope brother, because they will never come back for good. I feel like tapes hate humans. So they run away on purpose lol Even if you put it in your tool box its still gonna be missing when you open it up.

[@johnboyofalaska4182]

I spend half me working time walking back to where I just was, to grab one of the 4 tape measures I left there... Because the last time i left a tape measure there I grabbed another one from the tool box, and walked over there with it. AND LEFT IT OVER THERE. ARRGGHH! And now there's none left in the tool box to grab!

No kidding. Glue and then 2000 staples and brads. I think he just loves the sound of the tools.

A lot of trim carpenters that hang doors use lip stick on the latch to see where it hits on the jam to see where to place the strike plate.

Reminds of the time I installed a cat flap. When I finished the job, I realized I had mistaken the top of the door for the bottom

[@Therodaas]

So, do you just throw the cat through the cat door?

@@Therodaas depending on how jumpy the cat is... they could achieve enough height to still use it

I did the same thing! I got a new slab cuz it was cheap (rental, i cant cut holes in the doors that came with the place) Even got the door hardware right! THEN I cut the flap wrong!

Watching Adam Savage use a table saw has taken years off of my life. I don't know how he has all of his fingers. Perhaps his fingers have absorbed my life energy in order to remain attached to his hands.

For Some reason, “Wild West Saloon Doors” would suit Adam somewhere in the cave

[@metalxhead]

Ohhh that sounds so true and fun!!!!

[@greencupcakes1]

As someone that works somewhere where I go through them every day all I can say is “NOOOOOOOooooooooooooo!!!!!” Literally every single injury you can get from a saloon door has happened to me. They get caught on clothing and things you are carrying, they swing back and forth very hard and a lot faster than you’d imagine which can both hit you in the face with tremendous force and also jam your fingers between the doors. If there is more than one person anywhere near it it only gets worse from there.

At least it's only attached with... oh... 2 oz of glue spread evenly over the whole surface and 95 nails. Future-Adam: "Today we're going to cut out this square of door and rotate it 90 degrees..."

I thought the same thing about the oscillating multi tools. They looked way too good to be true on TV. I was doing a project one day where one of those tools would come in handy. I finally broke down and bought one and I was totally surprised! They are awesome for certain types of work, no question. If anyone reading this comment thinks they might have a good use for a multi-tool, don't hesitate just buy it! You won't be sorry.

[@wesrrowlands8309]

Adam talking about the nail gun and moving his hand out of the way reminded me of tenth grade when we toured the local Vo-Tech to see if we wanted classes. They had the older kids in the building trades class talking about safety and the one kid made it a point to explain that the large nail gun they were using could go straight through a large piece of would and your knee before stopping and what it would look like.

The wooden toolbox to your right you have there,I had something very similar to that made by my Farther inlaw. The thing that's so amazing about that is he was totally blind when he made it. Dovetail joints and all. Beautiful workmanship I've seen. It was stolen from me and I miss it alot.
