That anekdote about the rolo wrappers is THE REASON I flock to this channel. The builds and everything else is just the cherry on top for me. But the main course will always be Adam, gleefully recounting a moment in his life. A behind the scenes look into Adam's thought process. But my favorite thing is that he will be in absolute awe, and bliss from something so small. He literally gushed about glue(might have been resin) on a shelf while at WETA.(Turns out his favorite adhesive/resin? is made by WETA) "Dude, you're your 10 year old self's fucking hero" Mrs. Savage Couldn't have put it better myself.

[@MHTutorials3D]

7:15 That time lapse in insane. Well done camera operator !!

[@PapaMikeOfDenver]

It seems like you should do the knolling thing bag by bag, since they pre-sort them into stages of the build now... I think the mega-knolling might actually impede your build by un-grouping things that are going to be needed together...

[@ronwingrove683]

I was actually thinking that myself. I didn't realise it had a name until Adam did a video on it, but I've been helping my girls build their Lego kits for years, and we knoll (is that the right word?) bag-by-bag. The bags are numbered, and match up with the instructions and order of build. Not only is unbagging and sorting everything in one block a massive time-sink but, as you say, it's also counterproductive.

[@tzxazrael]

@@ronwingrove683 i think that's a false assumption. it probably takes about the same amount of time to knoll all of it at once as it does to knoll each bag individually. it just FEELS a lot longer, because you spend all of that time in one front-loaded block, instead of stopping in various spots to switch to building. i think the only real factor between fully knolling the kit, or knolling it bag-by-bag is an issue of how much surface area you have to knoll in, compared to the size and complexity of the kit. eg; i think even Adam would have to admit that knolling something like an entire Star Wars Star Destroyer kit would just require too much surface area for too long.

[@TheGreg9722]

Except with the newer kits, the bags are numbered so that the first stage of the build requires the first bag, and so on. Knolling all the bags together means that you no longer have this organization, so on average it takes longer to hunt down a piece, making the build time longer. Not that I have an issue with people knolling, they’re free to do what they want and it does look nice.

[@limealemur]

true, but I’m sure Adam is fully aware of this and he knolls the packages from left to right so they’re still organized by bag. Probably still more efficient to do it one bag at a time but I doubt he’s searching the whole pile each time he’s looking for a piece. He knows where to look.

[@TheGreg9722]

If you look at the video you can see that the parts don’t really disappear from left to right, so it doesn’t seem like he is.

[@DouglasLambert]

I like Adam, but knolling LEGOs is too much for me. I prefer the old method of dumping everything on the floor and just keep looking.

[@ameuphonium1]

Agreed. Knoll each bag if needed, but don't knoll the whole set. That slows it all down. If you are pedantic like Adam then fine do it all, but stop saying it makes it more efficient.

[@drumsNstuff79]

Yeah. Its gets a bit much to knoll a whole kit and say to yourself "I'm not allowed to touch a single piece until they are all color coded and sorted by shape and size." Takes the fun out of building lego! How nerdy can you be? I guess it could be meditative, but still..

[@NicolasdeFontenay]

Also not everyone has the luxury of such a large working space for their build x)

[@TheKnightsShield]

I've never "knolled" in my life and never intend to. Lego paid to put numbers on their bags so no one else could, so why ruin it by just emptying everything out and spending a lifetime sorting all the parts out into sets? When the instructions say use bag number 1, I like to open the number 1 bag, look for the parts I need and then put them together. Simples. No "knolling" required. But, everyone is different, so all the more power to them.

[@mikeprager4773]

People here saying that knolling is inefficient while also saying the proper method is "dumping everything on the floor and just keep looking," as if that's any better. Just do what you like and don't hate on others for their process.

[@cliffcolyer1852]

[@MisterCasket]

[@cdrderfyt]

In the amount of time it takes him to knoll all the pieces I would have had it built. Lego has done a great job in putting pieces into sub assembly bags that makes the whole thing move very quickly.

[@projectzip]

That got me as well! Why open bag two when you haven’t built bag one 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HordeOfOne1]

Amen brother

[@Studio_234]

I think the point is to make it last longer . Legos are expensive.

[@cdrderfyt]

@@Studio_234 and your not wrong. Typically this is a miss use of knolling but since this is kinda what Adam does all the time anyway and it strangely works for the camera, I realize I'm ok when Adam does it for his shows.

[@cecilectomy]

Same, but I still open all the bags at once and dump. I'm usually mentally noting pieces as many steps ahead as are visible and pick them as I see them. I'm never "hunting" for a piece.

[@skezus]

Anybody else ever grow up with a hand-me-down bucket of Lego's and never had the experience of building the actual kit and thus has a completely different relationship with Legos? The idea of following instructions to build with these defeats the whole brilliance of the medium IMHO.

[@TheGalantHamburger]

Built hundreds of Lego kits as a kid, never once knolled a thing........ as an adult I get almost as much pleasure from knolling as I do building. Also as an adult I'm an engineer for a living, Lego was definitely influenced that.

Adam, the numbers on the bags indicate the order that those pieces are needed in the build process. This helps to decide the builds into smaller and quicker sections, and makes it generally easier

[@beanieofhope]

Meh, I thought/hoped so too. But, I am currently building this set, and half way through each bag they want you to open the next for two separate pieces.

I built this kit last week for a giveaway at work. Can agree it's a great model and even things you can't see in the finished product are incorporated and given thought as to why they exist on the model. Glad to see Adam having as much fun assembling this kit as I did.

@@andysmith1996 I'd have to look at the Space Cowboy's footage again to see what they did i.e. How much they needed lol I agree "Time to flatten out" BUT if it has the look you are going for at the scale you need then that's a no brainer. On "Space projects" at EMI, Pinewood and Shepperton for 1:1 scale stuff we used (back in the day) gold coated Mylar tape from 3M. For a scale model like what Adam Savage is going on about having a convincing looking "Crinkle" at scale could be key plus problems with metamerism with a film/camera test. I gotta admit that a "Rollo" wrapper has a particular deep coppery gold color which hard to achieve any other way apart from gold leaf alloyed with copper. I wonder how much Cadbury's would have charged for a production roll of the Rollo wrapper paper, probably many thousands of pounds/ dollars. It probably comes on a roll 16 ft wide by 3 feet tall and costs $15K ;-) x 3 for "Film company" that's nearly $50K of too much Rollo wrappers + shipping to the USA from the UK.

I tell my kids one of the reasons we lay out all the pieces is to minimize relocation of work materials as the build progresses. Clean and organized job site, better chance of working smarter. If you don't have to constantly move pieces of what your building or keep looking for your next piece in a pile of parts, you can work faster overall. I also use Legos as a chance to verify your pieces to your plans to make sure you have everything you need for the task at hand. I love legos.

Am I the only one that appreciates the idea behind knolling and respects the neatness and organization of it, yet at the same time does not practice the process themselves when building Legos? I've tried this before. But I've found the process to be much faster and more satisfying if you just go bag by bag as they're needed. I was fortunate enough back in December to win the SECOND EVER LARGEST Lego set that they've ever put out, and just to happened to be from my devoted franchise, Harry Potter. Massive Potterhead and I got the over 6000 piece Hogwarts Castle gifted to me by the amazing Super Carlin Brothers. Now had I practiced knolling on THAT set, it would have been absolute torture in the ninth realm of Avernus (Hell, for those who don't play D&D). That Lego build was the most enjoyable build I've ever experienced. I'm actually contemplating tearing it apart and rebuilding it.

[@charlesschneider7079]

Now if Lego would make an Apollo Command/Service Module the same scale....

[@TheOneandOnlyDuck]

Yes. They should make a whole series of sets that is literally all the sections of the Saturn V. Collect them all to build a minifig scale rocket that would literally be 10 ft tall.

[@Xaria_therian_77]

True but if you have the parts hachiroku24 made one the right scale.

[@ChrisEllerby]

Adam did the same thing I did as a LEGO builder who's experience was before numbered bags existed. Opened them all. Modern LEGO sets have numbered bags based on where in the build you are, so you don't need to have all the parts out at once. Hopefully next time he'll get to take advantage of that, it makes things so much easier.

[@KhanhPham-st8yb]

Adam knolling almost the entire kit is a bit too much, Its much moe convinient to knoll by bag. Although it is fun to dump the pieces out and look for them. Adam you should try a build with out knolling, It kinda has the same feeling of when you are making a MOC and you find just the right piece.

[@legomanatworkmain7809]

Not as a Lego designer but as someone who builds things from scratch with Lego, I can verify that waking up in the middle of the night to a revelation of part usage is common. So is fighting the urge to go and add that to the model immediately

Is there a live stream of the project egress today?

I just finished mine last night ... it has some of the coolest techniques in building with LEGO I've ever done

[@MrTarikBedevi]

Dude, knoll one bag at a time! Then you can do the perfect knoll and build and back to knocking for the next bag

[@TomSedgman]

When Adam is deliberating between LEGO shelf or Apollo shelf i have that scene from WALL-E where he's filing the spork running in my head

[@animalmother556x45]

.......anyone else catch the Eddie Izzard reference at 4:44?

[@sander-wit]

Absolutely :) Next up: Dress to Kill!

[@MikeBarnett1776]

I had a blast building mine... although it's really a bit weird to build complex items and systems that, once done, are encapsulated, never to be seen again (the fuel and oxidizer tanks are one example). It's fun to follow along in the build book without ever reading ahead - you often wonder what you are building at first, and as it starts to make sense, you get the satisfaction of making it come together. This model is a little tougher than the Saturn 5 in some respects, but there are portions of the Saturn 5 build that remain somewhat unstable for a while, until subassemblies are attached. Now all I have to do is figure out how the heck I got back into Legos at 57!!!

[@iSchmidty13]

Why'd you open all the bags at the same time D: The bags labeled 1 will be first in the instructions, and no pieces in any other number bags will be used until bag 1 is finished, and so on. The most efficient way of building any set is to go by bag number. Knolling is great, but not if 80% of the pieces on the table won't be used yet 😐

[@Sem5626]

yeah, i do the knolling but only by the groups of bags... i get sick of knolling if i do the whole thing at once

[@alexrussell3798]

I love the way he waited until the end to add the astronauts, flag, and title plate. Something I’ll have to try out in future sets!

[@Bushman4]

Is that a life sized S1034 ACES Suit diagram on the wall? My company makes that suit! I'd love to give you a tour if you are ever in Worcester, MA!

[@OldCouches]

seeing Adam recite poems while building with legos + plus the hair combination make it look like found footage of crazy man

[@Glisern]

I never knoll lego. Never. Looking through the bags is part of the process I cherish

[@jonathanross149]

Agreed...knolling misses half the fun.

[@peterthinks]

8:25 you can also put wood glue over the splinter and let it dry. When you peel off the glue the splinter comes out!

[@StingrayMK1987]

Nice one. Got mine, too :D

[@randynovick7972]

I never lay out all my pieces at once. I'll lay them out bag-by-bag to suit the part of the build I'm working on, but only one bag at a time. (It's also easier to share a build with a friend or two that way.) You're only making it harder on yourself, Adam!

[@nagualdesign]

*Pop quiz* What do Legos have in common with Professor Stephen Hawkings, Superman actor Christopher Reeves and Sir Cliff Richards?

[@Fogmeister]

nagualdesign omg 🤣 I can’t believe I missed that! That is actually genius! Like over 9000 IQ genius! 🤣

[@nagualdesign]

😉

[@Aeronaut1975]

It's called "LEGO", not "LEGOS", read the fu**ing box! It's a brand name!

[@Fogmeister]

mezsh you fell for the same thing I did. It’s actually genius. 🤣

There is no ‘S’ in LEGO. The plural of LEGO is LEGO 👍

[@GingerBee788]

Why do people call it Legos? When it's clearly Lego.

[@MianCowell]

In every video title they use Lego not Legos.

[@HrZD16]

Gotta love it when Lego ends up on the channel, I wish we had the parts that Lego produces nowadays back when I were a kid 20 years ago.

[@therockmassive]

If you want to interview someone at lego, Matthew Ashton might be a good guy to reach out to, he is the design VP at Lego and Exec producer on the Lego movies so might be able to set you up with someone ideal. He's very active on twitter so could get into those DM's.
