i love that this isnt jsut a half assed way to look into the production of such a thing and then be like "YOU CAN BUY THOSE FOR OUR PROFIT" but much rather an inspirational tool for people to watch where they can gather tips and even the PLANS for things the goal of this is to inspire people to have fun building their own costumes and geek decorations and i love that.

[@narwolez5863]

It makes my soul feel so good.

[@OGPatriot03]

It looks MUCH better when it's finished (After painting). Just saying. Obviously it's no where near as awesome as the real deal, but it's also far easier/cheaper to make so not bad. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4Kan3hrmLCYhJI

[@thesleepvampire]

I love how free they are with sharing information and techniques. So wonderful to see!

[@OutcastAngelV]

For anyone watching, depending on your professional level, and desired outcome. I would suggest superglue instead of contact cement for immediate seating so you don't have to wait 5 minutes EVERY single time you have to glue a seam. Then you can come back before assembly and cover the inside of the seems with cement, or hot glue. (just my 2 cents, I'm not that patient or professional)

[@82olys]

"God I love information!" Me too Mr. Savage. Me too.

[@Crowy26]

14:12 The way he's running is just like a little kid about to show off a cool thing he has. That's why I love watching Adam do stuff, whether it was Mythbusters or this channel. He shows that even if you grow old, you don't need to grow up :)

[@Catubrannos]

That metal gauntlet is fantastic. Love the way the finger plates move.

[@SlenderverseTrash]

25:55 Wow. I've been watching Adam for along time (that sounded weird, sorry. Watching as in Mythbusters and this channel) this is the first time I've heard him curse

[@endomobo359]

They beep it out in mythbusters, they have that one episode where they test if swearing helps pain tolerance

[@noerartnoe]

Late comment is late: If memory serves, he's commented elsewhere that he normally "curses like a sailor" but tries to rein it in for videos.

[@Durrdalus]

Can't wait for "Adam Savage's One Decade Builds: 'The Martian' Space Suit!"

[@ianbyrne465]

I really like Bill and Adam's dynamic. It's always nice having Norm or another commentator or even just Adam himself discussing the build and the process, but something about Bill and Adam discussing the work and their technique and tips and tricks is really neat

[@jonathancook8343]

I love Adam Savage. His enthusiasm for what he does lights up the room. Awesome gauntlet.

[@oscardootson2500]

Literally my biggest two inspirations collaborating.. brings a tear to my eye 🤧

[@wasecheber]

The enthusiasm whenever Bill gives Adam a new technique is incredible.

[@dawsonsmith7079]

A Ringwraith gauntlet unintentionally giving me the middle finger is the best thing I've seen all day. Definitely the most satisfying gesture to make, if I ever craft up one of these gauntlets.

[@SmR8008]

I loved watching this video. ..2 great, creative and enthusiastic maker guys. I loved Adam jumping up and down with glee😄. This was a fantastic colaboration, with Adam and Bill working so well with each other

It's amazing that, at this point in time, Adam is still learning new things despite his excellent experience in the field. This is why I love watching one day builds.

[@dozer88finn]

Awesome two of my favorite makers in one place SWEET!! and Lord of the Rings nice!!

[@ThomStricklin]

And so it begins. When Frank announced his departure, I hoped Tested would collaborate with Bill. When I saw "foam" in the title of this video, my hopes were renewed... And sure enough! Tested and Punished Props are my two favorite maker channels, so I look forward to more like this. EDIT: Because it's an FAQ, Frank announced his departure on a Tested video in December. His own business is booming so much that he can't split time any more. So it's really a good thing, although of course still sad to see Frank go.

[@muchtoonice]

Preske They announced it in the "Our favourite projects with Frank Ippolito" back in December. He left to focus more on his business.

[@larflabergasted]

It's in the "Our Favorite Projects with Frank Ippolito" video. Basically his business went from a small indie shop into a giant art studio so it's getting harder and harder to do videos especially with the amount of contracted NDA work he gets now.

[@wwaxwork]

Oh cool so he left for a good reason. I was so worried.

[@bearianna]

I’m glad he left for a good reason! 😌 I was watching one of his seasons on Face Off, (since my mom is obsessed with Face Off now,) and I freaked out when I first saw him on there! Now following him on instagram so I can see what he does next! 🧟‍♂️📷

[@snyder_fine_art]

What an excellent duo. I think the two of you have the best chemistry of any pair on this channel.

[@AfroMyrdal]

It's incredibly fun to see two so talented makers work together and their minds just instantly click together and better each other like that. It's like you have a what's it called when twins kind of have that connection? Or like best friends? But that's what I'm saying. I love these videos. Great piece to!

I also love seeing that Adam is such a passionate maker that he will sit and listen to other people talk about their ideas and tools and how they do things, and he will appreciate it, digest it and sometimes even learn from it, its such a beautiful thing to watch.

It's always so fun to see somebody who does this sort of work drop nuggets of gold to problems you've had. Just use a sharpened brass tube to punch holes. Increase your pattern 10% to keep it from being too tight. Small things that save a huge amount of time and effort refining.

It never ceases to amaze me at how multi-talented Adam is. Not even just that -- his organization is freaking amazing! You know, I would love to get into a hobby like this. It is so damn cool. And the thing is, I probably could. However, even as awesome as it is, it's so involved and deceptively demanding that I simply can't be bothered. A shame, really. Maybe one day.

[@captaingunther5026]

Hey, Adam, I love your channel it has helped me a lot with my props, I was wondering if you could do the helmet of Helm Hammerhand when he was a Nazgul.

[@BertramMoranda]

Great cohost, more collabs with Bill Doran please !

[@jaywest4102]

Adam and friends, I’ve seen your tool organization/storage obsession and mold making. There are tons of videos showing mechanics cutting out foam to fit tools in drawers, is it possible to pour silicone in a drawer full of tools to do the same thing as the foam?

[@dylanheadrick3789]

jay west That actually sounds pretty interesting. I'd imagine you'd have to soak the tools in mold release to prevent them from the silicone finding it's way into all of the joints, but it be quite a nice fit and pretty satisfying to return the tools back to their spot.

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

jay west Would require a lot more cleanup, and silicone tends to degrade faster than EVA foam

[@JoelHudson]

Dylan Headrick or cover the tools with thin (think cooking film) wrap?

[@cycoholic]

And would probably be way more expensive to use silicone.

[@nightcaste]

The problem is that the tools will be in the *bottom* of the drawer, with the silicone between and *above* them. Your tools would end up like the bits of fruit in a creepy jell-o mold. And hinge tools would drive you nuts forever.

[@keentrasborg2566]

Adam Savage is a national treasure tbh. He's a pleasure to watch work. And Bill seems to be his perfect work partner. :D Great vid, guys!

Bill is brilliant. Definitely one of my favourite makers.

[@CJOMEDIA]

Adam Savage said finesse and low key.. my life is complete.

[@Cellkist]

Low key is funny to hear, but finesse? That's just a normal word that people use, isn't it?

[@jackcronin5250]

Yea finesse just means skill ...or do something delicately

[@ayzer_1639]

not in modern day mongoloid terms; they weren't used as slang

[@jackcronin5250]

And also low key is also a standard word that means somethings basic/simple or minimalistic and just has been abused by Americans

[@asmartfoodie]

jack cronin I don't think you can abuse words. Also anything that can get young kids learning new word is great. On that note a lot of the words we use today are slang so what are we really defending?

[@BallisticTech]

I love seeing parallels between build processes and materials. Bill rough cutting the foam and fine tuning it with the Dremel is very similar to they way Adam uses his knife sander with the different radius wheels to fine tune and edge of say wood or sometimes metal. But then there are nuances to specific materials like foam. Techniques you learn from using it over and over and trading info with others. I'm sure there's a bunch of others I got one of those see through metal edged rulers in my Maker Box. Going to make sure it pull it out next time I make something from foam.

[@wilcox2146]
