He never technically specifies the planet he's referencing for each day, so it could be that he's forgetting to note it's a day as defined by a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy.

[@estoericaferret]

@@schaddalton I mean, if he picks Venus, then he can spend like half a year or two thirds of a year on a One Day Build. It also depends on your definition of "day". Is it synodic day or sidereal day? Cause on Earth, that's a difference of about 4 minutes. But for Venus, it's a difference of like 127 days. Venus' synodic rotation period is 116 earth days, while it's sidereal is 243. Can get real tricky that way.

[@Sebb1s]

and why? 'because I can' - Adam Savage

[@snuugumz]

He is young enough that the distance and the difference between, say, hand drawn art and digital art are much less intimidating. I am an excellent artist, but i completely choked and hemmed and hawed, and absolutely HATED the product of my digital effort. Luckily, there was a young man that had gone to school with my son that was stoked to buy the setup that i had foolishly assumed would do as i insisted. I am no slouch on a pc: i can make visual music with prints of things i’ve drawn or painted and then enhanced or altered. And when i am bashing something out of a chunk of basalt with a hammer and chisel, there’s no keystroke on a keyboard that can replicate how the stone feels in hand. And thats cool. I can’t do math. But i can let a dragon out of a slab of granite.

[@Elvirth24]

I always appreciate Adam including his mistakes in these builds. As a maker of sorts myself, the mistakes almost make the project and process deeper and richer. The project itself influences its own outcome and speaks to you in new ways that enrich the final result.

[@edbennett8257]

To a gunsmith, the process of cutting into the wood stock and fitting it precisely to the metal components is known as "inletting". A simple and concise term which describes precisely the task.

[@MeredithHagan]

Adam’s hair craziness scale is an excellent and usually reliable gauge for how awesome the end product is going to be.

[@rebsdioramas]

Adam a few things with 3D printing. The Formlabs software is pretty basic considering how expensive the printers are but other software like Chitubox and Lychee can actually hollow prints which will save resin but you have to add drain holes and cure the inside and outside of the print. If you leave the inside uncured it'll crack over time, sticking a couple of UV LEDs in the drain holes is the best way to cure the inside. Remove the supports right after you wash and before you cure, it makes life much easier with clean up because they'll normally pop off without doing any damage (providing your settings are dialled in), you can also use flush cutters to really make your processing work much easier as well. When sanding resin please for the love of god wear a mask or wet sand, this dust isn't something you want to breathe in, the particles are small enough to get stuck in the walls of your lungs and your body wont be able to expel them easily if at all. Not to mention all printer resin is damn toxic.

[@duckhoward]

I love the editing when Adam goes one about a process for several seconds / minutes and the immediate next shot is him doing it exactly the opposite of what he just told you

[@cirrusfive]

It’d be a really cool project to see you take all of the leftover and inaccurate parts from all of the weapon replicas to put together into a new creation of your own design. I think it would be cool to see the kitbashing of all of your different work into a completely original piece!

[@Sushigrl1029]

It actually blows my mind to see the precision you pull off hand milling as opposed to CNC milling.

[@nunyabusiness5075]

Watching you come up with a fix for drilling all the way through took me back to my youth. My Father told me long ago, while working on a from scratch Kentucky style flintlock long rifle for a bicentennial re-enactment, "Master craftsmen are very good at fixing mistakes, and also very quiet about it". 😉 He finished in time and did the Oriskany re-enactment march in 1977.

[@Soulbishop]

Two things always really impressed me about Adam. 1) You ever notice almost all his major tools in the shop have his shorthand for how to use it taped on them or nearby (take a look at the back of the 3d printer during the close)? 2) Adam strikes me as a person who studies and researches how to use his tools but considering how meticulous he is about his measurements I am impressed he mastered the 3d software seemingly so quickly. Honestly, even just as a graphic designer and sometimes product designer, it's a real goal to be able to transition to those new goggles as he put so easily from project to project. Sidenote: Anyone reading this far who feels comfortable could you recommend some maker projects or niches (I'm not sure if there are any or if a niche is the right word) for a designer to dip his toes into?

[@christopherwatsey]

For anyone curious those "threaded inserts" are actually referred to as "Heli-Coil" there are other threaded inserts that are suited for wood specifically and they act more like one of those screw in drywall anchors.

[@TrapperAaron]

Threaded inserts for wood usually are brass, have large coarse threads on outside and a machine screw thread on inside. Used where repeated disassembly of wood is needed, also the insert usually glued into the wood. Knurled threaded inserts are usually used in sheet metal and are either press fit into a hole or come as a pop rivet design. Again used for repeated disassembly. A helicoil is a thread repair device used in thick metal.

[@TheElrondo]

Nope, even it's a year ago. Helicoils are inserts for damaged threads.

[@adrianwarner8686]

Thank you so much Adam, I'm watching this on a Saturday evening and it's exactly what I needed. Take care of yourself and stay safe.

[@TheM750]

That helicoil is not the preferred type of threaded insert to use in wood. There are flanged and unflanged tapping threaded inserts that are much better for wood, and have more holding/pull-out strength. Not super critical for this application, but it's good to be aware of what's out there.
