Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Wookiee Feet!

[@MiniMackeroni]

Whoever is in charge of editing, this is just beautiful. And how the sound continues and syncs during the beginning and end of time-lapses. *_chef's kiss_*

[@dakotashutt3066]

I noticed the same thing. I like it a lot more than time lapses with just music over it.

Just FYI, I had a slight _lapsus linguae_ and said "Look, a video of Chewbacca rebuilding an Adam Savage costume" - to which my daughter said "I'd watch the SHIT outta that!". And so would you, admit it.

Yes, the idea is to not get an injury that was easily preventable. If you do all you can to be safe and still get hurt it then it’s just bad luck.

I’m watching this while wrapping my Christmas presents and it’s honestly the most relaxed I’ve been all month.

[@captainsfolly]

This is how I’ve been making my Wookiee feet for the past 10 years. I met Adam once at Celebration in Chewie, I had no idea it was him till later when a couple of Legion friends pointed him out to me. The Wookiee aka Adam was being rushed off and I was being a costume nerd trying to compliment and ask build questions. Missed opportunity to talk shop. Though whenever I am Chewie at Dragon Con or Celebration, I get asked if I’m Adam. You should know over time the foam will compact so you have to replace it. Thanks for making this, it’s very helpful for future Wookiee builders and cosplayers.

[@tianshi8453]

Love the editing without the squeaky noises when fast forwaring. Sooooo pleasing to listen . THANKS! Huge improvement!

[@sabrinakopke215]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video at 2am but the best part was at the end. I cried when you explained the demerit badges. It's been a particularly hard season of life. It means a lot that someone as successful as yourself views screw ups as valuable. Thank you.

[@SuperKoe]

I really enjoyed the voice and sounds effect when the video speed up, nicely done very natural.

Using Gorilla tape (at the risk of sounding insensitive or speciest) seems quite fitting for a Wookie build.

Love when Adam is in a good mood. Felt so bad for him on a few past videos where he was kinda down. I guess we all get that way. It's understandable. We're only human.

[@colinstu]

I've never had that much luck with hot glue with shoe-related things, but there is one product that is SUPER tenacious, "Shoe GOO". I don't know how they do it, but it's strong stuff in this scenario. Also has a little longer working time than hot glue so you can really spread it everywhere. After a full cure, the glue won't be the failure point.

[@JoeGarofaloII]

I say this whenever anyone mentions Gorilla tape: be careful, a roll of that stuff is strong enough to break a truck windshield! Yes, break...

[@justanotherfreakinchannel9069]

You know Adam, they do make dust extraction shrouds for angle grinders, would definitely make cleanup a lot easier on jobs like that, and they're not very expensive!! 🤘

[@cedarstuff]

I'm about to spend the best part of two hours watching someone make slightly better Wookie feet, and I will enjoy every moment.

Adam: "I don't want to injure myself in dumb ways." Also Adam: Proceeds to try Riverdancing in his new, mostly-completed Wookie boots.

[@shawnrothman260]

Spent the whole viewing saying I better get to see these all together with the full costume... Totally worth the wait.

[@shelleyking8450]

Now that they are so safe and comfy, I can see Adam just wearing these around without the costume, just because. Slippers to grab the paper out front? Wallking to the corner shop for coffee? Stuff on a high shelf in the kitchen? Got it covered!😂

[@StuartWoodwardJP]

I think Adam Savage in just black eye makeup is actually a great halloween costume in itself.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

Do only what makes you happy And dont do anything else. You can be anything you want and live in any world you want. You just need to take the first step towards doing what brings you joy. It can be as simple as wearing a blue shirt instead of a brown one or starting your own business vs working for someone else. When faced with a choice move towards the one that brings you the most joy and ignore your fears. Your life will be full of abundance. Carry on!

@@capuchinosofia4771 If you are in the act of pursing your greatest joy, whether its a choice about what to have for breakfast or to take on a new project. If you are true to yourself, your material needs will be met. All the while maintaining the parameters of reality. You cant decide to have eggs for breakfast if you have no eggs, but there is always a choice. Make the choice that brings the most happiness in that moment. Stick to it and life will begin to change for the better. Avoid swimming up stream. If life is a struggle then you're on the wrong path. Happiness comes with the flow, not the struggle.

im 6'7" tall and wear a size 16 EEEE shoe. i could just put on a part of boots with the toes on them and the fur and poof wookie. i've been referred to as part wookie all my life lol. man that looked like fun to build and i agree any thing you can do to make it more fun and easy to cosplay is a venture worth taking. i want to go to a con my health and of course the global issue prevent that but damn we need to figure something out. if ever there was a need for VR now is that time, but then that kinda makes the point of making your own costume pointless...ugh. love how they look like lived in feet thats so cool. any excuse to put on the chewy costume i would totally do the same. never put your contacts in After you do the eye makeup lol. LOL when did Adam join I.C.P. ? lol.

[@GusGoosegrease]

Is it hard to find bootsies that big out in the wild? I wear 14w and it's almost impossible without ordering them special.

hello! i am writing from tokyo, japan. today my son and i have watched this movie. we have laughed so much through the video and have learned many of your tips for making a high heeled shoe, which will be very valuable for us to make a korg (from the marvel avengers and thor movies) costume. my son is planning to cosplay as korg in the next comicon in tokyo which is scheduled on 3rd of december. we will keep on watching your other movies for more of your tips on production. thank you for inspiring us😊😊

Shifting Lands has some laser cut additions for the Proxon that you might look at Adam, specifically a fence and some various gauges for cutting shapes and other things. Black Magic Craft here on KZbin uses them to make gaming terrain with his Proxon. Thought you would appreciate knowing/seeing the kinds of ingenuity other makers get up to when they need something, especially if it would prove useful in your own making endeavors.

Hey Adam. If you didn't know, you can get that foam floor mat cheaper if you buy it as horse stable flooring from a farming supply company for around half the usual price

I just made a Krampus costume and looked all over for a boot to make the hooves and I found Snowboard boots and they worked perfectly. I'm a bigger dude and they added perfect support. I definitely recommend them for big feet or specific costumes.

Different inks may react differently to netting vs synthetic hair. You should do a few tests using different fabric dyes vs organic dying methods. You may be surprised that some dyes may not stick to the hair while adhering extremely well to the netting.

[@laurenarigo3894]

When I was little I went to this old car and plane museum in an old hanger and warehouse. They had one of those styrofoam cutters for making wing gliders. I ended up burning myself and my dad was mad that they let a little kid use it. I now looking back can vaguely remember being in line with a bunch of adults and older kids and telling them what needed to be done. I bet they though I new what I was doing. My brain just understood building things. The engineering degree I will be receiving in a few months says I cans still do that. Mind you now it involves having to learn ethics and economics and sleepless nights.

[@MrCrazyGameGuy]

bit of dowel between the layers of foam would keep them pretty firmly together, trace the template on the foam and you're good to go, trying to hold a wooden template against loose blocks doesn't work so great.
