Adam Savage's One Day Build: Sticky Storage!

[@martinslagle3061]

When you said "almost messed up" and then went and messed up anyways, I couldn't help but smile cause I would totally do the same thing. Thank you for leaving it in.

[@TheSynrgy1987]

Would totally do the same and probably have many times, total "Doh!" moment

[@scotishpatriot]

„Failure is always an option.“ 😉

[@avalonbear61]

We all do it even if we will not admit it.

[@dennis6442]

Ya might want to change your angle there Adam. So funny spotted it instantly :)

[@LacasseEric]

8:36 "Empathy, Kindness, Respect" Agreed, the world needs more of that. I love that t-shirt.

[@jameswalterclark3696]

Just a huge shout out for the editor who deals with the nailgun bits - top work.

[@zacchambers2418]

Not gonna lie, I didn't look very closely at the thumbnail and I thought for sure this was going to be about glue. Great pun though!

[@edbennett8257]

I can't believe that you didn't put the items in the same order in both racks, LOL. I know it would driver me nuts to have them arranged differently.

[@cheyennesmallwood6072]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@sundaynightdrunk]

And they needed to go longest to shortest from top to bottom, so that you never have to reach over to get the one you want.

[@bepiisboy2911]

All hail discordia

[@SafetyKap]

Got go all ISO 9001 and label the slots :)

[@watcherofwatchers]

Tiresome.

[@alberttetley]

I love the way Adam has an utility holding organiser on his wall still in the packaging next to his sink

[@tasmanianerd2558]

The sign of an awesome YT build video. You finish the clip and there are 8+ tabs open in your browser that are showing your browse and purchase history for the past 1/2 hour... Not a complaint. Merely an observation...

[@jicknordan24]

The way he does everything perfectly is beautiful. Like that sped up sanding bit was beautiful.

[@jonmoore8261]

I remember that episode when you said you needed more acid brushes. Gifts of needed items from your audience without provocation, that is a sign where you can stand back and admire what you do and the quality of what you do. Fans are DC motors they can exhaust the fumes or blow them in your face. Adam you are a “Savage”. Please never stop Tested!

[@chasesteinman3107]

Shop infrastructure builds are the best!

[@daveandgena3166]

I truly appreciate you showing your errors. I screw up all the time for a variety of reasons. I feel like less of a schmuck knowing other people (who are better this than I am) screw up.. It's really helpful to see how a professional recovers from errors, too.

[@Rarkmeece]

These are just shop vlogs, and that's why we love them so much!

[@RichJMoneyTV]

I repeated "this is the way" after the exact pause and with the exact cadence that Adam did... I've never felt so in tune with a KZbin video.

[@alicebingham9796]

These are the best part of my week hands down.

[@michaelweaklend]

For anyone making this for themselves, a suggestion: size the cubbies to slide in a red solo cup. As dust and crap collects in the boxes, slide out the solo cup "liners" for an easy clean. It also lets you take a whole mess of sticks to your project if needed.

[@michaeldorman]

I bought a pin nailer because of how much you love yours, and just used it to put together some drawers. Glad I got it.

[@cclsjhieber]

Adam, thank you showing the rest of us that even makers of your skill set and experience still have to stop and think about which way the cuts go. And then proceed to do it the other way. There's still hope for me! Really enjoy seeing how you make things to hold things.

[@BIGWIGGLE223]

Go down the craft aisle of any department store and you'll find a wide variety of sticks that are perfect for, well, an aid to nearly every task imaginable. My favorite is the simple toothpick which I use for precise applications of epoxies, CA glues and many more uses. I have some of those popsicle sticks that are fatter at both ends and I apply spray glue on the back of an entire sheet of my favorite sandpaper and place the sticks on the gluey side and apply weights. Homemade sandpaper sticks. Oh!! And Q-Tips are a requirement in any makers arsenal. I am really fond of the long medical ones bc when I use up the cotton end I cut it off and repurpose the stick. Love the little Tamiya ones too.

[@splotchdog]

I switch to these what I call "shop display" type sorting method for my paint/drawing stuff a year ago and I never regreted it.Not only do they look a lot more professional, but they are actually quite usefull finding stuff fast.

[@karamarkham5682]

First off, bless you! Second, I freaking LOVE how unto Hamilton you are! It makes me so happy to see more people than just me randomly apply those genius lyrics to situations all day long!

[@jmuseable]

I’ve noticed when I’m rolling a problem/build around for a long time it’s because I haven’t decided what I want yet. Once my brain actually builds it, then it’s time to do it. It’s my favorite thing to realize I know exactly the way I want to make something.

[@TheAssassin409]

"ya i almost messed that up!" *proceeds to mess it up anyways* ya, ive been there. Feels bad man.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

When you haven't made the correction you'd thought you'd made.

[@Indi01440]

I dont know how it would be translated into an image but i think it needs to be made into a (de)merit badge!!

[@mattjenkins7216]

Time lapse: only slightly faster than Adam normally bounces around the shop.

[@tasmanianerd2558]

It's not time lapse. It's the result of really good coffee!

[@krabkit]

19:04 they decided not to use any timelapses this time, he just gets excited sometimes and forgets to slow down.

[@JamesWanders]

@@tasmanianerd2558 I assumed it was the super power he got from the tongue depressor at the beginning.

[@brokespoke5424]

The world needs more Adam Savage's

[@TheIdeanator]

"Not a single blowthrough" Nailed it!

[@skollrum]

Heres a tip: Grab swabs between index and middle finger on both end below the heads, pull them apart and each hand will be same direction. Easy to orientate zip ties also.

[@timothyreeves615]

I very much appreciate that you show the mistakes. It'd be so easy to bow to your ego and edit it so that it appears that you do everything right on the first try, but you don't. I find it so refreshing and encouraging to be reminded that even seasoned professionals make mistakes. I also feel like it's a wonderful lesson for viewers of all ages and making ability to see that not only is a mistake not the end of the world, but and is instead an opportunity to learn. Thanks again for the uplifting and education content! As always, I look forward to your next video.

[@mrfrontranger7911]

I did build a dedicated box for my CA glues so now youve got me making cubbys foe sticks and pens and markers. Merry Christmas to you all at tested 🇺🇸👏👏

[@Warriorbox]

I work out of my car. I need a lot of stuff on my passenger seat, which tends to roll off at corners, my water bottle falls over, I cant find my pen... etc. and occasionally I need to have a passenger in the front seat beside me, so everything gets thrown on the back seat and sometimes gets lost for ever. This month I made a cardboard box out of pizza boxes, with compartments for everything so making things easy to locate, and when I need to put a passenger there, I can just put the box on the back seat until the space is free again. I made it to fit the seat perfectly and its has been a life changer. I totally get the thing about it rolling around in your head for ever. I wish I had done this 5 years ago when I first thought about it.

[@thetiggr78]

Watching things get sorted makes me happy. ☺️

[@evanhorton2520]

Might I suggest investing in a commercial spray faucet, the kind used in restaurant kitchens? I use one in my slop sink. It's incredible for cleaning brushes and rollers. Seriously. Amazing. Worth the investment.

[@Lost_Gaming_Inc]

Welp, I've now purchased all kinds of sticks. I think my son will have fun making crafts with those!

[@AVspectre]

They are totally fun for that. :) Depending on his age, Aileen’s Tacky Glue (spelling might be off) could be a good choice when he’s working on his own builds alongside you. White glue sometimes takes a long time to dry, and we’ve all burned ourselves with hot glue. It’s nice to be able to stick something together and keep working - especially if you’re a kid. :) I haven’t compared it to wood glue re: dry time but it’s just another option. :) Cheap dollar store craft acrylic is also an inexpensive way to colour the sticks before building. Watered down, it can make a faux stain effect to tint the wood (doesn’t cover over glue so that’s why I suggest beforehand). Of course, you can always paint over after with full strength too. :) Cheap kids craft FTW!

[@Lost_Gaming_Inc]

@@AVspectre Thank you! I was wondering about a better glue choice. I'll get that.

[@zackmann08]

Watching these builds is the highlight of my week.

[@baemaxxed5389]

Great timing for this video! I've been building my hobby/craft desk and now know I also have a problem with different sticks being extremely unaccessable. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@boydmerriman]

Yup, I saw you draw out the lines for the angles wondering if you were going to catch that! Easy to make that mistake! I have sat and literally designed and built many things all in my head, figuring out the mistakes, tricks and other things until I get my design down the way I want it. That may take weeks and months! Then I put it on paper and build it.

[@shindoushuichi0287]

Seems like the title eluded to glue being the thing that was going to be sorted. Lol. The current collection of glue looked kind of crazy too once you put the stick shelves next to it.

[@AVspectre]

Just started watching and that was my assumption. :) I am organizing myself and have a drawer of various adhesives. As for sticks I’ve been using a double-sided snap-close bits box. It’s like a tackle box I guess but more like a small briefcase shape where the front and back with a clear lids that show the contents so I can find what I’m looking for before opening. It requires an extra step of opening, but it works well for me as someone who can’t have everything out and at the ready at all times.

[@AVspectre]

It works both ways now... sticky meets stick-y!

[@leighharron]

(* alluded to). The thumbnail showing the glue pots definitely didn't help

[@Locane256]

Yay! I love shop infrastructure and then seeing it get used in other videos. Adam seems a lot calmer and less like he's on hyper drugs today 😂 glad to see it, I love that his personality shows so genuinely.

[@TLZ]

i dont know why these woodworking builds speak to me so much. I probably wouldnt have started woodworking if it werent for these videos. Love them. Also, apologies, had to cancel my membership for now. I hope to be able to come back soon. To anyone who's on the fence about joining, if you can, do it. It really helps the tested crew and the extra content alone is worth it.

[@Gilyarth]

I bought those wooden coffee stirrer sticks from a food service retailer for less than 3 dollars/1000. They're great for all sorts of stuff.

[@tested]

Right?!

[@TomOConnor-BlobOpera]

I recently bought a box of 500 tongue depressors after the last time Adam mentioned them - I've used about a half-dozen already just for mixing and spreading Araldite.

[@johncware66]

The key with that kind of stuff is to buy so many that you can’t imagine ever using them all up. Then you’ll just use them, and discover many more uses for them.

[@Gilyarth]

@@tested I'm even thinking about building a ship model and using the sticks for planks. : )

[@ATONAL6173]

Brilliant! I totally thought it was a glue caddy build. Every time I think about the pun, I chuckle. Thanks, team!

[@ChrisRyniakArt]

This is fantastic! I find that we prefer the flat-ended wooden coffee stirs for mixing because there is more surface area for mixing and spreading paint and epoxy. Great build!

[@Born_Stellar]

I don't know why but sometimes instead of painting models or fixing my car I spontaneously start making some kind of organizer or storage device. And then at the end of the day I'll have a kick ass shelf or box that last me forever. So I feel this build.

[@brandonhooper7748]

I miss ritual coffee. Some great places in tx too but the great latte art and random couches are just cool.

[@torymiddlebrooks]

He is 100% correct about lining up bills at the end of a night.

[@hilaryboardman7167]

I use all the “sticks” listed by Adam plus some: japanese q tips (smaller heads and firmer than regular q tips) from Muji. Balsa sticks with square section, the tip can be shaped with exacto blades, I mainly use these for polishing jobs on jewelry with a slurry of carbide powder in mineral oil or polishing pastes. From amazon

[@Jacobhay09]

Hey Adam and team! I love the videos. One request for Adam. If he is able to show a rough sketch of the end goal. I think it would be cool to think about how I would do it while watching the videos and see "oh that is how I would do it. That is much better then I was thinking". It could also show how when you come up with an idea how much the end result can turn out to be vs the 1st rough sketch.

[@MooCow2X2]

Yup. Pin nailers are awesome. Have a few projects that would’ve been absurd without it. But with. Sooooooooooo easy!

[@ivymonroe2340]

I can't help but wonder if the sad tone in his voice is because he shot this on Grant Imahara's birthday and this is the first birthday since his passing earlier this year. So sad to see him go, but I know he touched the hearts of many and that he will live on through all those he inspired, worked with, and taught. Thanks Adam for the steady flow of content this year. Your videos have created some normality in these otherwise abnormal times.

[@gnaeiuopl]

Every time I see baby yoda in frame, I feel like it's a little tribute to Grant.

[@cvirtue]

Tongue depressors and standard housepaint mixing sticks make great garden markers that will eventually biodegrade, which is a feature, not a bug.

[@ThatRedHead717]

"no time lapses today. I'm shooting everything in realtime." Haha nope says your editor

[@O.C.D.A.R]

Either that, or there is a giant chipmunk wearing Adam shaped suit.

[@bradleyshannon7894]

I’d rather see the real-time version myself.

[@RedMaij]

@@bradleyshannon7894 Agreed. Kind of annoyed at the editor. There was no need to time-lapse those shots, especially since you could tell Adam the Chipmunk was talking for a lot of it. You'd think the editor would know that we're all about Adam rambling!

[@bwood6337]

@@RedMaij You're all about the rambling because the editors are kind enough to always leave in just the right amount. Also it may not have been auditable.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Wow, this could have ended up a VERY sticky situation. Glad you managed to get on top.of this too, Adam.❤😊

[@JeradOtts]

I love the sound of everything being sped up during the time lapse portions of your videos. It always makes me giggle a bit. 😂💙

[@robobunzilla]

This is pretty funny, I just got a couple of plastic versions of these in the mail recently for organizing my own workspace once we're done with a reno. They're smaller, but I'm even more confident now that they'll work great. Always fun to watch you create!

[@madelynhostetler4117]

Extremely sped up Adam is my favorite because I imagine that's how fast his brain actually works!

[@henrycampopiano5425]

Adam Savage: Genius make and builder Also Adam: Look at this container of blood I have!

[@hoshiadam]

For the last small spot at the bottom, I'd put in a small container with toothpicks in it. Not an often used thing, but I like to have them available for tiny applications.

[@MadnessQuotient]

My favourite ever pair of tweezers for handling delicate components I constructed from a couple of tongue depressors and CA glue. 2 sticks, cut on a long diagonal. Cut ~1cm off each end of a third stick Use the cut off tips as spacers to glue the rounded tips of the diagonal cut sticks together 2 stick thicknesses apart cut another

[@imnumbersix]

I've messed projects up beford by cutting 2 lefts or 2 rights. You did have me shouting at my tablet,"change the miter gauge" as if you could hear me lol. Fun project, thanks!

[@43srgrock]

I am definitely going to steal this idea in my new shop furniture ideas

[@GlennBrockett]

It was nice hearing cousin Itt narrate your timelapses.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Brilliant, your workshop gets better and better. 👍🏻

[@cemx86]

Coffee sticks are great for doing lots of things. But only the ones with square ends. Adam says that the round ended tongue depressors are best for mixing epoxy. Maybe on a flat surface but when mixing in a cup this falls flat as it leaves unmixed epoxy in the bottom corners. The square ends GETS TO ALL THE CORNERS!

[@wolfgangstelzer9509]

Great idea, I try to give my old 3 1/2 disks a new life and build a storage with them.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

This is great! 👍🏼 I live, eat and breath this kind of stuff!

[@lacheur]

Flip the brushes and swabs. You want to grab by the handle. And it'll help keep the dust off the tips a little.

[@theyseemeloling]

You should either have a second channel or playlist on this channel for uploading full, unedited versions of these one day builds where you take us through the whole process, not just the parts where you did everything right. We like seeing you too are human and don't get things done in 20ish minutes

[@thesewalkamongstus8367]

As finished products they are neat! Ideas are now abound about my bits and bobs! What an inspiration these videos are to us nerdy type Thingymabobs! ( and yes that is a word!!)

[@TomOConnor-BlobOpera]

I love this. I'm currently building out my new workshop. Need as much storage space refinement as possible. Definitely going to bodge something similar together.

[@JeSuisNerd]

That "almost messed up" moment is especially hilarious to me because I just did the exact same thing when cutting the notches for a cat ladder I'm making as I watch this! XD

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I think having sorted your 'sticks' differently is going to drive you nuts, I know it would me. Like the build and it makes infinite sense. Nice ODB, Adam.

[@CombatGod]

Every single time they go into highspeed, the sound Adam makes reminds me of Back to the Future and Doc rewinding the tape...

[@backpacker3421]

For structural consideration, grain direction in plywood is essentially irrelevant. The plies are laid in alternating grain direction. So if you have 5-ply sheets, 3 will be running north-south and 2 east-west. For 7-ply, it's 4 and 3. No matter what direction the grain should run for strength, you will have just under, or just over, half the sheet oriented correctly. That's one of the beautiful things about plywood.

[@PaigeMaker]

I enjoy every one day build, but there was something about this one that was especially delightful! A little Hamilton, a quick show and tell about some fake blood, and maybe I should reconsider where to store the acid brushes in my own shop too.. Love it 😊

[@brendanmulhall]

I like the Senco nailers too. They make the best in my opinion.

[@ML_314]

I noticed that when I'm doing mistakes like the one around 08:30 that I didn't drank enough water. Then I usually drink about 0.5L to 1.0L of water and relax for some minutes. After that I immediately feel that my concentration is way better and I make less mistakes. Always stay hydrated! ;)

Absolutely no disrespect intended here, Adam is one of my favourite YT hosts, but I love the way his videos always look like he's just making stuff up as he goes along. Something that's all prepared, planned and scripted, with bloopers cut out wouldn't be nearly as fun as these vids!!

[@AGuysGarage]

Thanks for sharing, been a fan of yours for a very long time.

I love the sorting of swabs and sticks. It makes my autistic heart so happy. And yes - I like lining up tips too, by value too. I find it eternally irritating that the currency value and size of the coin/note isn't proportional.

[@alexlacey8500]

Mr. Savage, thank you for introducing me to Hamilton. Did not know what I was missing.

[@alexlacey8500]

For anyone wondering, the song Adam quotes from at 15:10 is “My Shot” from the musical “Hamilton”.

[@Gemini6389]

Hey Adam and Tested crew. Adam: What do you have in your cave when it comes to first aid and eye wash? I thought about it and purchased a first aid station and eye wash bottle station but was wondering what you might have in your shop? Safety is always important.

[@AVspectre]

That’s a great topic idea. :)

[@brocktechnology]

I've never been convinced about eyewash stations, every shop I've worked in had one but I've only got a vague idea where it is. The sink on the other hand, I use it everyday, I can find it in the dark, if I'm blinded by something in my eyes, that's where I'm going.

[@MrTL117]

@@brocktechnology At my first job I got some gas or carb clean in my eye and went to the bottled eye wash station and doused my eye. The nearest sink was in the bathroom across the building and I doubt I could of made it with the shear burning of my eye. Should take note of where they are because I'll bet my vision on an eyewash station thats kept up to date.

[@alexlacey8500]

The science labs at my high school had these really nifty eyewash faucets on all the sinks. They had a little lever to switch between regular faucet operation to the eyewash fountains (imagine two drinking fountains in parallel, spaced apart to hit both eyes) I’d love to get something like that for my shop sink. I’d also love to have a shop sink... lol. I work out of a tiny shed 🙄😏

Knowing how Adam works, and thinks, I fully expect to catch glimpses of these dispenser racks in the backgrounds of future vids with the items re-arranged a) short to long from top to bottom, and b) identically on both racks. And maybe with some additional items thrown in to fill in the empty compartments. Because as George Carlin used to say, "We've got more space than we have stuff to fill it, WE NEED MORE STUFF!"
