No fricken way mannnnnnnnnnn! Jack White is awesome!!

[@RPRsChannel]

*_I would like to see you take this new 3rd Man tape measure and pull out 1 meter or equivalent then 2 meters or equivalent; and compare to 3-4 other tape measures._*

[@slcpunk2740]

It's a Lufkin 1125B tape measure.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Jack should start a side band called “The Tapiceros”.

[@Footbawl1]

And when you X-ray it to see if there’s a nice little surprise inside, you’ll be tempted to open it up to see what mystery awaits inside

[@Kossmok]

Please Adam, if you ever get a chance to draw Jack in your nerdcave, grab a camera and just talk for like an hour while trying to build something. This is the content I need

[@G4MERtheGREY]

I would watch the sh*t out of that

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

@@G4MERtheGREY I third that!

[@tigristhelynx7224]

I would love to see these two fellows, who are so passionate about their craft, work on a project together!

[@alexdavis9324]

No chance that doesn't crack a million views

[@tested]

He's been to the cave before, but for social visits. We do hope to film one day!

[@Greendayfanguy96]

I love that Jack White and Adam are friends. Adam inspired me to start in engineering and Jack inspired me to pick up music (drums, guitar and bass) The sheer joy on Adam's face is reflected in my own whenever he talks about Jack White!

[@mpbx3003]

I truly love that Jack has used his success and fame mostly to fund his eccentric hobbies. Truly an inspiration.

[@Beef4Dinner22]

That's basically exactly what Adam has done as well.

[@mpbx3003]

@@Beef4Dinner22 Absolutely! Wish we had more celebs/notable people who did the same.

[@1pcfred]

Upholstery wasn't Jack's hobby. He was an upholsterer before he became a musician. So having done it I guess it stuck with him.

[@mpbx3003]

@@1pcfred Sure, in the way making was Adam's profession before the show. Now, it's much more of hobby/interest.

[@1pcfred]

@@mpbx3003 Adam was a prop maker. It's been a life long passion for him. I think he still does some commission work. But he doesn't really have to work anymore. As he put it, he made that TV money for years. Now he just keeps himself busy.

[@davidhuber6251]

Your childlike enthusiasm and sense of wonder always makes me smile and brightens my day! Thank you.

[@1pcfred]

That is a really nice seat cushion.

[@gamerkingdom1442]

Props to Jack! There’s nothing better than to sit down on your favorite chair and just go to work on your stuff!

[@RocksterOO1]

fnarr fnarr! lol

[@praticle]

Adam and Jack working on a project together would be the greatest series of all time. Please make it happen and please don't rush it in the edit, I could watch them work forever!

[@1pcfred]

Jack is a very DIY kind of a guy.

[@jabbertwardy]

Two of my favorite things in one video...I love that Jack embraces his early work as an upholsterer (as indeed it was the name of his first band)

[@bradlothrop4076]

I cannot help observe even from my own experience that the "maker" culture seems to foster a strong sense of thankfulness. Inspiration, exposure to clever useful tools, a finished project and even just seeing the build process all are valued things. Unhesitating credit given is also fantastic to see as well as the "narrative" of the objects involved. Thanks so much Adam, you inspire a faith in the better nature of humanity.

[@AalbertTorsius]

Fun story (I think I heard him tell it in _It Might Get Loud_ but I'm not sure): when he was working as an upholsterer, he and fellow upholsterer Brian Muldoon were in a band, The Upholsterers. They used to hide their record in some of the furniture they upholstered. In fact, that may be what he's referring to at 5:12.

[@PelleKuipers]

I'm betting there a record inside the stool underneat the memory foam. The shape is just right, and it would make total sense for Jack to do something like that.

[@AalbertTorsius]

@@PelleKuipers Also, the orange leather circle on the black lining makes it look like a record, too.

[@PelleKuipers]

@@AalbertTorsius True! But I can totally imagine Jack White thinking 'I'm gonna put a real record inside for shits and giggles.'

[@AalbertTorsius]

@@PelleKuipers Absolutely!

[@allentastic]

Definitely was in It Might Get Loud. One of the best documentaries ever

[@christovrea4273]

The appreciation of craftsmanship and artistry is truly fun to watch and is one of the reasons I love Adam Savage

[@WHYtheband]

Lovely gifts from a lovely human being to another lovely human being. Jack White has been an inspiration to us as songwriters and as a band. But we are now inspired by your friendship. Warmed our calloused hearts. Peace and respect from a little band in Canada 🇨🇦✌️

[@polarian57]

as a profesional knife maker I can agree Nothing feels better than hearing and/or knowing what you have created is being used and brings others joy

[@DouglasRosser]

The wide-eyed wonder and childlike joy you experience life is an inspiration.

[@mrstyle_67]

Adam, I don't know what was more exciting seeing the amazing artisan workmanship of the uber talented #jackwhite or the excitement you telling the very heart warming story of what true humanity is and the example of a real friend. I saw a interview of Loretta Lynn and Jack of course was featured, you really get to see what a stellar guy he is. Great video Adam, by the way been a fan of yours for years and love all you do!

[@Dwendele]

I love how you still get so excited about little things, Adam!

[@kylebeckedahl612]

I opened an Etsy shop for Dungeon Master gaming screens six months ago after many years of wood working and making in my spare time. I agree that making something which is intended for regular use by someone is truly one of the great pleasures of creation. Greater care and intent goes into each detail knowing that an item will be cherished and utilized by someone in an activity that brings joy to a group of people is one of the things that brings me the most happiness.

[@brianm6475]

Jack is "one of a kind", just as you are Adam....what a beautiful GIFT! Thank you for sharing that today...Loved it!

[@joshgibson8257]

I absolutely love that after all of the incredibly cool things we have see you make on this channel, and all the joy it has brought all of us that we get to see you so excited over the details in this gift!

[@plap.]

Saw a show on the old record studio jack bought along with the rights to crap loads of old songs. He is saving, restoring and using the old equipment. Part of music history and still has time to restore your stool, it's so cool

[@hunterschow1573]

Wow. I'm still processing the fact that Jack White and Adam Savage are not only on a texting-each-other basis, but are both makers and do this kind of thing for one another. Two of the coolest, most inspiring men in my lifetime. What amazing thought and symbolism that Jack put into that gift too! Makes me respect him even more as an artist. Hoping we keep hearing more about him on the channel!

[@maryolmstead3183]

I love the way Adam is so excited.

[@baimun]

As a musician and mad scientist, I've always had a great appreciation for Jack White's builds and Third Man Products, like the sustainer pedal made with old telegraph mechanicals. My wife and I frequently travel to Nashville and are also Detroit Tiger fans, so I was so happy to find a black and yellow scarf at Third Man Records when we were there for the 2020 New Years Celebration (the coldest New Years Eve on record) that has a yellow side with black text and a black side with yellow text, one side says NASHVILLE, the other DETROIT.

[@stepsinpairs]

I remember seeing Jack interviewed and he spoke about the number 3 being important to him and one of the reasons was because for so many upholstering projects, he was amazed that they only needed 3 staples to hold the fabric in place.

[@Hagemann666]

I'll say this again: Adam's unbridled, unabashed enthusiasm for his subject material is at least half of the reason I come here. The man is genuinely excited about the thought that went into creating this seat cushion. He's jazzed about the decisions that were made in materials and color. It feels like he wants his audience to be as happy about his chair as he is. The man is a national treasure.

[@Sometimes_Always]

I love how he found the musical inspiration and conveyed that to you just spinning and spinning around.. That's so awesome..

[@erikhendrickson59]

Every once in awhile Adam drops a video that makes me a little more envious than usual. The idea that Jack White is a huge MythBusters geek and maker himself, makes *_me_* happier than it probably should~

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I love those stools and as a nurse in the Cardiovascular Lab (have a heart attack, see me) I used those all the time (I'm retired now). I'm glad you were able to get the cover repaired on a wonderful piece of shop infrastructure.

[@jckatz]

Wow.... Now I'll have to stream me some white stripes.... Haven't listened to them in years but awesome human beings make awesome art. And that was an example of an awesome human.

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Absolutely. Definitely check out some Raconteurs, Dead Weather and Jack White solo albums too.

[@august1870]

Literally was just listening to him on the way home and then I saw this video and thought “it must be a different jack white!” What an amazing gift though! And he’s so talented

[@GuitarFuYou]

The connection between you and Jack White is a REALLY cool thing. Huge Jack White fan and of course, of yours.

[@DanRyanCarter]

I already felt that Jack White was an awesome guy and this just deepens that feeling. Also, I never would have expected a friendship between these two- but it absolutely makes sense and it is now one of my favorite things ever.

[@evanrumpel7570]

Jack White and Adam Savage, holy heck. my whole childhood in one vide. i love you Adam.

[@AA-bj1bu]

I definitely didn't expect a friendship between these two but holy cow I absolutely love how wholesome this was! Jack White is damn good at keeping crowds pumped and upholstery, who knew!?

[@porotonegro]

I'm not surprised at all, I mean, Jack White's basically a genius and, as for what Adam's told about him, a great person to be friend to. Looking forward to see a video of both building smth.

[@TonyOriolo]

This is SO wholesome, to see Adam's enthusiasm and gratitude.

[@Lucien86]

Oh dear.. I have every one of those badges.. No one learns how to work with wood without a few cuts.. Absolutely fabulous video by the way.. Jack White is a great guy.

[@SuperBasscase]

Astoundingly cool to a have a personalised stool upholstered by no less than Jack White, including an accompanying custom tape measure! AWESOME!

[@JenniferDurdleArt]

Jack White is a creative genius. Everything he creates there's just so much artistic thought put into it. I'm in awe of him.

[@Dannyboyefc]

What a talented man jack white is 👏🏻

[@shannono8397]

absolutely a sincere gift of time and skill, towards friendship ! I'm moved completely ! His new album hasn't left my turntable, it's so loud and goooood! Makes me happy you two are such friends and fell into each others orbit!!

[@davecnc]

Jack white chair. Totally awesome. I never knew he is a maker of more than music. The whole video made me smile 😃 . Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ALEXAWRIGHT]

So excited to see this stool in your hands after following along the process on the Third Man Upholstery instagram! Jack White is such a hard-working, talented, and inspiring human. The touches and thought he put into this stool warm my heart. What a special update to your studio. xx

[@kzookid2051]

Adam, your videos never fail to give me a grin and a chuckle, and more than once a chance to think about something deeper than everyday life. May you always find things to bring you the joy you bring to us.

[@hyperatomart8]

Its always awesome finding out two people who have inspired and entertained you pretty much your whole life are friends.

[@TheJesterOAO]

It's always awesome to find something like that about great artist.

[@jsk8et]

I appreciate the extravagance of assigning meaning to the details. That kind of intention in creating is an expression of love, in my opinion at least.

[@FlexDRG]

So how many here just geeked out that they know each other and that Jack does this sort of stuff? And that he is watching these vids of Adam right along with all of us...

[@stevemuzak8526]

I have that vinyl copy of Adam’s song. I wish that more musicians record this way. Simple, not overdone music.

[@alexvito163]

Hey Adam. I love those chairs, I use 4 in my shop as well. You MUST upgrade the casters to the new roller blade style gel wheels. Smoothest ride ever. Super cheap on Amazon, $20 or less.

[@levvy16]

always loved jack, love him even more now

[@CelesStrife]

That is really neat, I never knew he did stuff like that.

[@frankbrowning328]

WOW! Amazing gift from Jack White!

[@AEON.]

It's always more fun to randomly get something in the mail when you don't expect it!

[@wyatterdman8742]

When he says "drive belt of a turn table" you can see hes genuinely so happy about that and thinks its so cool.

[@mrspankyuk]

For me, that is the coolest thing in your workshop! A high score on the cool scale for Savage here. Jack White is my fave musician! Tape measure 2nd fave! Love this

[@blister4walken]

Awesome. Like-minded people making the world a better place.

[@orlovskaptajnen]

How supercool - and to me it seems that Jack White has made an LP record on the bottom 💪🏼. I simply just love multi talented people with imagination and clever hands 🙌🏽🤘🏽

[@vincentwhite_music]

Your guy's relationship is very inspiring, I loved both of you when I was younger (clearly that hasn't changed) and it's an awesome combination (Okay, well, I loved Jack's music, I learned about him as a person later)

[@craiganater3]

the fact that two of my favourite people in the world hang out and "chat" is amazing

[@kaptinklein]

As a Jack White fan, this is a hugely delightful thing. Thanks for sharing Adam.

[@tgh965]

Love it! You are so blessed, Jack is truly an artist in every sense of the word.

[@rickszabo4312]

I would like to thank Jack and Adam's parents for bringing up 2 wonderful human beings .

[@JoshBrown18]

outstanding craftsmanship, Jack

[@lgngrrtt]

Been a fan of Adam's for 20 years, and Jack for 13. So cool to see another collaoration of sorts between the two.

[@Filthy_Rich_556]

What an amazing piece. My absolute favorite thing is an ordinary object with an extraordinary story behind it.

[@davidg4536]

Jack is the real deal. He could buy whatever he wanted or hire someone to make custom stuff, but he does it himself. A true DIY king.

[@timogul]

I love when people are really talented artists at one thing, and then they apparently do one or more other things really well too!

[@snakeson_aplane]

such a great video. if you look carefully at the 45 adapter on the tape measure, you'll notice that that is also custom for Third Man Records, as the cut out spaces inside are silhouettes of three people

[@saccaed]

Making me jealous. My stool looks a whole lot like yours with all the cracks and signs of wear. Already planning to reupholster it and the memory foam is an idea I am going to explore.

[@tested]

Awesome!

[@dragonettiification]

Ive worked in a office space for 4 yrs and when I started i wass given a catalog to pick my own chair. To everyones surprise I picked a similar stool it so my better for your posture. Since they have sit/stand desks I spend most of the day standing and it stows away under the desk much easier. Ive converted half of my office now we look like a bunch of children rolling around its great.

[@ReneePowell]

I love everything about this, and I also hope we get to see him visit your Cave sometime. I’ve been both the maker and recipient of awesome projects, and it’s such fantastic feeling.

[@sterling8298]

I would say 1st of all you have something upholstered by Jack White which is totally out if this world awesome by its self. 2nd of all it's beautiful and looks very well made.

[@evildogbilly]

Your joy and enthusiasm made me smile , a truly beautiful throne for the cave

[@rfamps]

You're absolutely correct Adam there's nothing better than sitting in a stool that's so comfortable that you can fall asleep on my opinion at least love your videos keep up the great work.

[@terisingleton1961]

As a professional Upholsterer, Jack White is very well known in the Upholstery community and a favorite story continually circulated about Jack is that when he was struggling to become known to music fans, he would put his first album within the carcass of the furniture he was restoring. I often leave a note for the next upholsterer in historic pieces, but would be blown away to find a Jack White Album !

[@LukasHaydenOfficial]

This video brings me so much joy. You and Jack white both changed the way I see the world. It is incredible to see that two of my heroes are makers and friends

[@BrandonScales]

Two of the greatest artists of our time

[@Radge-cc5uw]

I’ve been a keen follower of Adam’s output for many years now and am also a huge fan of Jack White’s music (seen him live four times now). It was absolutely surreal to me when those two worlds collided and you visited Third Man records. I sometimes still pause to think, did that really happen, it’s too random, too weird. It unnerved me. That said, I enjoyed the videos😃!

[@cyconway6222]

Amazing Jack White & Adam Savage what a collaboration, something we needed but never wanted. A bright star in this dark universe of media

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Wow, that is an intense gift! It is pretty heart warning to see the thought that went into it too.

[@ginor8416]

This is unreal, I’m an auto detailer and just lent out my rolling stool and this video pops up. How cool is Jack White, wicked rolling stool....Savage!

[@sabertoothanimations2912]

Lol I love how i had noticed the stool having a new cover or well so i assumed. I initially thought it must have been a off camera pleasure build Love the way it looks and the symbolic worth in it is truly heart warming.

[@SmilingDevil]

And I never thought I‘d watch a clip where one man expresses his gratitude of another man having toyed with his stool and feel happy about it…

[@Sawtooth70]

Incredible, two very talented people coming together to share greatness. I love it, and now I need to keep my eye out for that stool.

[@WhiteRaven43]

As a huge fan of The White Stripes, the gigantic, boyish smile on Adam's face when talking about something Jack White made for him warms my heart.

[@jodivandyk3649]

Nicely done, Jack White!

[@dougmanning1434]

That tape measure is the lufkin shock force with the nite eye tape (black and green helps in low light as well as in bright sunlight as the black is anti-reflective) . L1135B bought 4 of them for around the shop about 2 years back and am very happy. Also a lifetime no questions warranty on them.

[@khaledarisheh6697]

Adam, you are who I wish I was. A cool nerd with skills and the most awesome friends.

[@evilvet]

I look forward to 'this old ass' , coming to pbs soon.

[@AlexeiArntzen]

HA that is frickin amazing. Jack White is most likely an extraterrestrial when it comes to musical genius, but he's also so thoughtful about making something with details specific to you. Very nice

[@lupiaan2021]

Beautiful craftmanship!!

[@paulgrieger8182]

E.F. Brewer is still in business (Brewer Company) and is a customer of mine (I drive a semi truck delivering to local businesses). They have many locations, but the ones I am familiar with are in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin (not far from the Harley-Davidson engine plant). Coincidentally, I collect vintage medical equipment and have that exact stool in my shop. Purchased from a defunct hospital in Milwaukee.

[@Zelmel]

Jack White, just existing as a low profile (in terms of his non-music work) badass! I hope you can get him over to the cave (especially if you can get a video)!

[@victoriarhine7303]

Well isn’t that the coolest thing ever. Amazing. Huge fan of Jack.

[@tyleryoung9123]

It brings me unbridled joy that Adam Savage and Jack White are friends.

[@Tommiart]

I love how mad Adam's hair looks in this- it makes me happy.😊

[@Dirty_Squirrell]

Hahaha! You are like a kid at Christmas! Well done, Mr. White. Love the detail in the middle of the tape measure. Brought back many memories.

[@threadtapwhisperer5136]

That tape measure is super dope, im looking for one now. Just to have the cool double sided measure tape. Both you and Jack White are legendary humans.

[@ceasecapo1]

That is absolutely beautiful and so very thought out and thoughtful!
