Love the new Hardware Store Area of the Cave. Having said that, I do miss the Display/Old Podcast Area of the shop, as well.. 🥲

[@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr]

It is a passing of a Great Event - like uncovering a UFO frozen in a glacier for a Million years...or something.

[@JustNobodyButME]

I think it is the top tier level of shops to have. Some day I hope to have a shop just half as good as that. Just wish I knew how to organize stuff like you do.

[@Sagara09]

When I am not having the best of days, I watch Tested. Seeing Adam genuinely happy in is element just makes me feel so much better

[@tested]

Oh, appreciate that, thank you.

[@petez4608]

That’s exactly why I came today. It lifts my spirits with ease.

[@historyon18wheels]

Came here to say the same thing. This is an incredible set-up and I can't wait to see what this allows him to dream and build. And the ILM giants can rest easy knowing what they loved is in very good hands.

Same here. 😊

The mirrors in the top rack are a living testament to how incredible the people working in the special effects industry are. 99% of people just jam their hand in there or get a step stool.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

And if you think about the amount of time it would take to check each one when re-ordering stock by moving a step stool, they saved a ton of time putting the mirrors there, where one could just walk along and see what's low or empty and therefore what needed to be ordered. An elegant and creative solution to a problem that presented itself.

[@anthonyem7616]

it's so sick but a foam brick stored on the edge of a high place tops it

[@Zencat420]

I work in sound for TV and will be implementing this on our setup if at all possible-- we have a whole wall of divided bins with transmitters, receivers, mics, cables, etc, and this is a brilliant, low cost, low tech way of checking what's available on the top few rows. Love it!

[@matt-lang]

Adam should steal that idea and put some mirrors on the top few racks for his nuts and bolts shelving!

[@mm9773]

Keep your trousers on. It’s a very nifty idea by a short guy, and to have it preserved and shown to a huge audience in a video years later is the perfect way to celebrate it - but if you had come up with that and somebody called you “a living testament to how incredible the people working in the xyz industry are”, wouldn’t you assume they’re making fun of you?

[@RaeOfEffingSunshine]

I’m a hobby sfx artist and my husband is helping me build my own small workshop as an addition onto his tool shop this year. Through searching for organizational ideas, I found this video. I’m so glad I did. This gives me a deeper understanding of you as a person. You’ve saved pieces that to most, wouldn’t mean anything. But you see the true value because there is history attached to these items. I love that you’ve fabricated many items yourself or bought second hand. It’s the small details that no one sees that mean the most. It’s people like you that have made me have a passion for this type of work. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@EposVox]

I don't know that I've ever been filled with so much joy watching someone else's video than I have seeing Adam get so giddy showing the new space.

[@winterlighthome]

This is Adam's ultimate kid in a candy store moment. I actually teared up a little seeing him so deeply joyful and grateful. Also, I celebrate the preservation of maker history element of this project but do look forward to seeing how Adam evolves the racks and their usage for his shop's needs in their new era.

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

I’m glad I’m not the only one. His huge heart, childlike passion and drive are infectious and seeing him become the custodian of these treasures of film history is perfect. The thought of joy it’s brought and will continue to bring to him every time he sees and uses them warms my heart.

[@logandevoy8119]

Right on. Passion and authenticity have been sidelined in the last decade or so by social media, but they are priceless. And they cannot be faked. I'm watching this in NZ on a warm summer Saturday night in my shed with my tools and cars and projects and "mess" everywhere, and Adam's passion for the small things resonates so deeply. I think there's a lot of us around the planet who feel this way 🙂

[@mm9773]

Adam Sandwich has the right energy to do something with it, too. I would probably just show up and reorganise some bits every day and get very few actual projects done. Plus he’s the right person to make sure it’ll be in good hands in the future.

I'm not a maker whatsoever, but I absolutely love watching Adam talk about his shop and all the history behind the things inside it. His energy for what he does is infectious

[@jakobmorningstar]

Adam is like the little kid on Christmas opening his holy grail gift that he has researched to the ends of the earth and now is so excited to tell everyone about every little detail and it’s awesome. I’ve never seen a fully grown adult express such pure joy.

[@MikeWard70]

I love the reverence that Adam has for simple objects like storage racks (or anything with a great heritage/history) and his ability to convey the import and significance to others with an enthusiasm and excitement that draws the viewer in and just makes you glad you clicked on this video to take part. If I'm having a bad day, I always see what's happening in Adam's cave to put me in a better mood!

[@saschaacker7149]

I'm 50+ now, but after watching this video I feel like a little boy again. After seeing Star Wars in cinema for the first time as a little child, I bought all the special effects literature I could find. I have two thick books on ILM, a big double volume on Ralph McQuarrie and a thick volume on Phil Tippett. Your Shop is living history for me.

[@ericwright3646]

my thoughts exactly! i'm 50 this year and now I'm inspired to get my shop into this type of condition

[@neil_hewitt]

The reason why I love to watch pretty much any video you make in the cave is the infectious excitement and passion you have for the things that you make and do in that space. I’m not even a 1000th of the maker that you are, but you constantly inspire me to try new ideas. Looking forward to seeing more of the revamped shop in 2024.

[@bitp1mp]

Yeah, Adam, a long with a few other KZbinrs stop me watching and go out to the way too packed-in shed an get stuff done.

[@conqu2]

I really did gasp when Adam walked into the new space. It was like this small, previously unacknowledged feeling of claustrophobia or frustration I've had for years watching the channel without ever really considering it, just lifted away in an instant! Can't wait to see more stuff get made here. Amazing!

[@Aleph-Noll]

its cool to know all the stuff is at the tested offices now, at least its being displayed there. but im sure this second space is gonna get filled soon enough with more stuff haha

[@cmdraftbrn]

hoarder overload released.

[@BobHannent]

It's gone from being a little cave like to being a workshop now

[@emilymarriott5927]

I don't think I ever realized how much space he actually had there as it always felt so small and cramped. The transformation is so incredible, it's got to feel like a whole new workshop.

[@DonovanCYoung]

Adam's passion for the history of his shop and all it's individual components is infectious. Thank you for sharing even more of your world with us.

[@H3xx1st]

The reason I love watching anything you make is the passion you have, it's unfiltered, infectious, hilarious, and ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Adam, you rock!

[@lucastucker5614]

Seeing the incredible journey Adam has had and how profoundly grateful he is for every moment of it is such a soul cleansing experience. It makes me so happy seeing someone living their life so genuinely and to the fullest extent possible in their chosen space/occupation. It's definitely the purest form of escapism watching Tested.

[@tested]

Really appreciate that …

[@MrchingSpartan]

Adam revealing his new space was such a beautiful and emotional moment! It's so clear how important of a sea change this is and how much it will reinvigorate the work he does. Such an awesome and genuinely moving moment!

[@Sjors_23]

It feels like a beginning of a new chapter. So happy to see how two great things combined in such interesting way. The peace of history and basically inheritance from ILM crossed with long awaited shop enhancement for Adam, who's work shop and him are legends themselves.

[@Emiratosaurio]

I cannot express in words how much it moved me seeing someone so incredibly happy for something new that they have achieved after knowing they went through a rough moment where they were delaying it over and over. Seeing the outcome and seeing how the person felt that he grew and evolved and matched the expectation that it had for himself it's something quite quite unique to see. The love that you have Adam for keeping the history of things alive is something that should be taught more, you sir are truly an example of how to be a great artist and a great human being, thank you for doing the things you do and thank you for dedicating your time to impart the knowledge that you gained throughout your life to us.

[@tj_in_tn]

Truer words have never been said, let alone so well-spoken.

[@VioletAngel-r3u]

I started studying Model Making professionally last year and it had started to become my mundane day to day, but watching Adam totally nerd out over shelves full of plastic suddenly took me right back to my childhood growing up watching one day builds and it suddenly dawned on me that I am now actually doing what I love every day and how lucky I am to have that. All of a sudden life feels pretty good. Thanks Adam

[@devilmay]

your comment about your wifes suggestion on the club chair was probably the most humourous thing. we need her in a video with that kind of humor.

[@stepheneshner3676]

Dude....I got full chills when you walked into the second space. Incredible what you folks have done over there, and I can't wait to see how it positively impacts your work flow. Bravo and congratulations 🙂

[@zacharyrib]

THIS right here is why I love watching you and have always loved watching you. Your passion for the stories behind all of your loved shop tools and the workspace as a whole. You make me want to build and create when a lot in this world beats me up and makes me just want to sleep. You're a special person who I thoroughly enjoy! Thank you for the time you share with us.

[@maus0292]

Love the space. I love open areas. I would suggest one long wall of parts and material or one end all open and seen. With work space in middle. Then all the lathes, drill press, sewing station, table band saws, large tools organized in groups of use along one end or wall. I would have an area with hand power tools all in view, and battery packs ready to go. Being able to stand in the center and see everything will open up ideas. Hidden stuff is lost stuff, great to find but usually when you don’t need it. Allot of this you already have but just laid out to see it all. I would add if you have space a white board and bulletin board to work out project ideas and list projects. Like a visual working schedule of what needs to get done. What can be done, what needs parts…etc. also I would add a small table below with 6 to 10 bins for prepping components for projects. Projects 1-10. This helps put model kits and, small parts in one place so when you. Tackle it everything is there. Think of it like a shopping bin for 1 project. Just add a post it note for items that are too large to put in the bin and possibly have an area for them. This will give you an incredible flow for getting things done. Looking at your shop I would recommend org the ceiling items.

[@jamescampos8128]

I don't have the direct, personal connection to those storage solutions that you do, Adam, but when possible I prefer to custom build my storage solutions to fit the very specific needs and constraints of where I'm living and my personal hobbying workflow. And from that perspective, from recognizing the level of intentional thought that went into designing and building a thing to work as an extension of myself and my workflow, those big blue racks are a thing of beauty.

[@daveo1002]

Adam, it thrills me to see how excited and nostalgic you got in this video. You always struck me as someone who would truly be this authentic in real-life as well. It's comforting to see someone being human in their videos. Thanks for this tour, buddy!

[@Oldtimerider]

Adam’s contagious enthusiasm is always there when I need it.

[@Raynsideways]

This is like a completely new shop. I really look forward to seeing you use this newly upgraded space in your projects. It really feels like you've got room to breathe now. It's a true representation of your first-order retrievability philosophy--nothing hidden or tucked away, everything out front and ready to be used. I can't wait to see how this supercharges your creativity. And TWO LATHES! That's got me all kinds of excited.

[@guitarchitectural]

Three! He has a watchmakers lathe too 😄

[@joeprestera2239]

I really love these videos for many reasons. To hear Adam's thought process including the struggles and lessons learned over time is helping in trying to organizer my shop space. It's nowhere near as big but as we all know the larger the space the more stuff you end up jamming in so efficiency and functionality is what I am striving for.

[@total_betty]

I have a lot of "things" too and because I live in a city I have also needed to move often so I use the same technique with packing; I photograph the contents of a crate and then pack it and number it. Then I file the photo with the number so I can look through an ordered album of things and then know exactly in which box the small item is. Definitely recommend this approach!

[@conqu2]

Adam your speech at 26:08 was truly moving. Your passion and ability to communicate and contextualize it really is remarkable.

[@NoClassic]

The historical importance of every item in those ILM buildings can not be overstated.

[@JustNobodyButME]

I think you got that backwards. If it can not be understated, that means it is already the lowest of the low. There is no way to state it any lower. I believe you are meaning that it can not be overstated, meaning that there are no words to define how historically significant it is.

[@NoClassic]

@@JustNobodyButME You are correct and I apologize for the grammatical error. I have made this same error in the past and cant seem to get it through my thick skull. Thank you for pointing that out and I will edit the comment.

This video makes me so happy. Saving the ILM model shop history is just an incredible act of generosity. The shop restructuring feeds to my own love of reorganization. But Adam, your joy and delight - *chef's kiss* - so damn genuine. You are the BEST person on the Internet.

[@Anonymous-rh9hk]

Adam, you preserved some important stories by taking those cabinets and giving them a place in your shop. May they continue to tell their stories for a long time. Your collection that had to move out of your shop deserves its own place somewhere, where that collection can tell its stories and inspire people, please find a place for it.

[@mrscb5303]

I actually cried at how beautiful this was, it’s the combination of beautiful organization and movie history. I kept thinking I just want to touch those shelves. Thank you for sharing this with us. It gave me chills. 🧡🖤🧡

It's so cathartic standing in the middle of reclaimed space, admiring the surrounding openness. Your shop looks completely transformed and ready for anything. Congratulations.

[@kornfreak78]

I've been a fan of yours for quite a long time and I just have to say THANK YOU for doing what you do. Your passion for what you do just makes me feel better. When you got goosebumps in this video I actually teared up a little because while yes, I have become emotional in my older age, I also just love to see that passion.. REAL PASSION for something still exists in this world. There's just so much ugliness, selfishness, and turmoil that goes on in life.. and watching you is almost like an escape from all that. This is why I say thank you for doing what you do. The world is a better place with you in it. Cheers to you, Sir!

[@Skoopa92]

I absolutely love the sheer amount of enthusiasm Adam has for doing the stuff he loves. Watching one video motivates me to work on my own projects. Inspiring legend

[@Dazzgracefulmoon]

One of the coolest things about your shop, no doubt, is the fact that just about everything has a story behind it.

[@bfischerr]

Seeing you get excited about becoming a steward for so much history was moving. You have inspired me beyond words and I sincerely appreciate what you do for the maker community of which I so desperately want to become a part. Thank you for your passion and inspiration

[@rikvdmark]

The emotional excitement you showed in this video got me bouncing through the roof! I’m very happy to see the change in your shop. But even more so it got me excited to see all the extra history added to your shop! It’s so cool that you were able to save this bit of history and whilst doing so helped yourself :)

[@pattyqubensis8222]

It's so ironic that I decided to follow your path in 2024. I'd been thinking about finding new homes for all my tools and hardware spread throughout my home, garage, and basement. I had searched on KZbin for, you know, "shop organizing tips" and whatnot and found out you were doing the same. I was previously not a subscriber of your channel (😮WHAT!?! I know, I know...), but you've got one more subscriber now. Great job, Adam, as with everything you do you are an inspiration. Thank you.

[@eyespliced]

*_Adam,_* I recently inherited a house in Richmond, and have a _bunch_ of 50's/60's era hand tools I am unlikely to use. I want to let you sift through them, and see if there is something special. I also have a bunch of Signal Corps. Radio equipment and a gajillion army surplus and 50's era vacuum tubes of all sorts of sizes I don't know what to do with.

Honestly, as someone who was kind of stressed out whenever I saw Adam’s shop organization, this is awesome to see. It would always be funny seeing him build a small organizer for certain tools he used while seeing the chaos behind him. I love the Timelapse at the end and would love to see a video of what the space looked like before and after

[@McStayWoodworks]

Adam I really want to say thank you. I’ve been a fan and more importantly inspired by you for I guess decades now. Mythbusters, seeing you in person for the stage show, reading your book and now following along with tested I can honestly say there is rarely a video or article I consume of yours where I don’t leave feeling so motivated to make. I am a maker. I never knew that before I just thought I was a guy who couldn’t pick a hobby properly but you’ve let me realize that my making adhd and love for tools and shop layouts and creating stuff that pops into my head and the emotions that come with it have a place in the world. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your genius. And I don’t say that word lightly I truly believe it. How you share your thoughts, answer questions from fans and how you create are absolutely an inspiration. Thank you 🎉

[@SolomonJagwe]

Maaan... this gives me goosebumps!! The craft maker in me, is incredibly in awe of the history and backstory behind all the items you have collected. I wish for a space like this. Thank you so much Adam for taking us on this amazing journey. My 2 kids and I are and will always be fans of Mythbusters, where we first saw you. Thank you!!

[@branchandfoundry560]

Oh, it's not just you! I moved shop in 2019. What was at first thrilling quickly turned into a freak out. Now working with an architect on plans to build the new shop...trying to get EVERYTHING right, based on how rough it was five years ago. But I have that experience to draw from to anticipate that it will be rough AND it will be ok and even better beyond the rough period.

[@nubreed13]

It's unreal how that idea stresses me out. My current 10x20 shop is just too small for my current needs and I'm looking everywhere for a house with a large garage to take over.

[@rowenmaxwell2965]

@@nubreed13 that’s funny, my new shop is 10-20” and my old one was an 8”-10” carport without walls. So it’s a big change. Sure hope it’s big enough for the next few years. Good luck on finding a new place, I know it can be a huge struggle.

[@nubreed13]

It's kind of scary how fast it will fill up.

[@branchandfoundry560]

@@nubreed13 Food for thought! We have rental houses. For my current shop I looked for a house with a large detached garage. Found one with 950sf garage and 850sf adjacent metal building. Renting out the front house covers the mortgage+some and I work full-time in the back garage. Had the power company install a separate meter (which they do for free). Got a strange look asking for 400amp service to the garage, but glad I did since 2-3 of us can work on different machines or weld at the same time with the AC running with no problems. This was the best way I could think of to make the jump out of my home's attached garage--at a profit instead of paying commercial space rent.

[@rickmiller1425]

As I was watching this I was thinking, man I wish he would have captured a time lapse. I finally reached the end and my wish was granted!!!! I really wish you could bottle the smell of the shop, there is a very old hardware store in a small town to the east of the city I live in, I imagine your shop having many similar fragrances in it.

[@andrewduncan6648]

I've loved your enthusiasm for even the simplest of things ever since I first started watching Mythbusters with my dad as a child. Seeing how the shop there was setup reminded me of my own basement/garage growing up, and that it didn't matter what we were working on, my dad could always just go back to his stacks of drawers and cabinets and open one seemingly at random and grab the exact nut/bolt/screw/piece of particle board that we needed to finish our project. Now that he's in his 70s and truly retired, he's slowly been going through it all, labeling and sorting as he goes. Getting rid of anything he know I'll never need once it all becomes mine. Seeing your shop infrastructure videos just makes me want to have a space like this, to tinker and build, and something I can eventually pass down to my own children in the future where they'll hopefully share the same desire to create and fix that a lot of us here have.

[@SilentNoise1780]

I can only imagine all the A-mazing stuff that you could put in there!! With such an amazingly history in film and other media, the items exhibited would be a delight to see.

WOW, this was such a joy to watch! I absolutely love watching things get organized, and my LORD, this was a dramatic transformation! I'll be eagerly awaiting the promised Shop Infrastructure builds in the upcoming year :)

[@jamesbrown3239]

Hi Adam / Tested, a small suggestion for the architectural bits you mentioned (about glueing one of each item to the outside of the drawer) perhaps just snap a picture and affix that to the front. I’d imagine that those pieces are harder to come by now and you may have exact numbers, it seems a waste to glue one of each to the outside. But otherwise a great idea to make it a visual sorting / storage solution

[@SmokingMan26]

Such a huge change, I had no idea you had that much room even when you had the display racks. Excited to see the projects that come out from the improved space.

[@mkuiwaterman6983]

Made me emotional watching this video! I have so many emotions at the same time. I am 60 in 1977 my eyes were so opened when Star Wars came out.

[@AdrianBroadwell]

Hats off to Mrs Savage for calmly pointing out the obvious! My feeling is this is a woman with a bottomless pool of patience and understanding! Also love your enthusiasm for all the cool stuff and keeping these skills alive. Hard to believe they are now almost a lost art.

Adam, I recently just did a Mythbusters binge on Max and I love looking back on that time, watching you and the team with my kids, and how much you and the team shaped them as they grew into curious young men. They both look back on the show fondly as well. Keep making the world curious!

I had to pause this about ten minutes in just to say thank you for going out of your way to preserve something with so much history - and also giving it new life! Continually inspired by Adam and his experiences in this industry, and thankful that he’s so open to sharing it with us.

[@sebastianp4023]

I could feel Adams enthusiasm and joy. It turned out awesome and I'm really looking forward to 2024 now

[@MitutoyoAmerica]

Love the new space. Congratulations on your hard work Adam! Looks amazing.

[@uosshh]

this seems like such a beautiful and cathartic experience Adam, i’m glad such an important piece of film history has found the perfect home. after watching you and tested my whole life, seeing the shop as it is now is incredibly moving

[@AJ_Dodgestar]

I love seeing Adam being so joyful about something like this. Reminds me I need to sort out my own work area.

[@per-erikpihlstrom7281]

Adam, I could listen to you for days. You’re excitement is contagious, and I just love it!

[@JohnAlexanderICT]

I just love how absolutely giddy you are when walking into that display space, even after all the work you and the crew put into it...

[@glendonbradley]

"Commerce means you can exchange money for that"...😂😂😂

Im over here stressing about if I want my bed by the window or on the long wall of my room.......

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

Watching Adam just exude such joy and happiness is cosmically infectious being here on the East Coast. I am in the process of making a 16x16 room in my home into my dream KZbin/Artist space. People like Adam, Martina for Nerd Forge or 10Hundrend in the last year have inspired me so much. Thank You.

I'm so happy for you. Thank you for taking all these ILM storage shelves and same time saving the history and keep the model making alive. Congratulation, Your shop looks amazing.

[@LerockJohn]

His Enthusiasm is contagious. Let's get exposed to it!!

[@DrLazerbeam]

Imagine loving something so much that you have a giddy appreciation for the shelves the parts to make that stuff was stored in. You are endlessly inspiring. How ILM made you feel as a kid is what you're doing for people now. I hope somebody makes a video one day about how they drove up to San Francisco to pick up the Adam Savage shelves. Thanks for everything

[@TreeShark]

Truly thankful Adam shares his workshop for the world to see! We appreciate all the time you put into filming these videos! ❤

[@henrypostulart]

I’ve been a fan of Adam’s for decades. I didn’t realize until now that I’m a mega fan. I admire his compulsive passion to no end. Thanks for sharing, Adam.

[@daviddesjardins7751]

Watching you genuinely happy, it's a therapy for me.

[@kalizk]

Your joy and passion makes me smile, so happy for you. An absolutely beautiful addition to your space ❤ Side note: I hope you place those long pieces of steel sticking out some place else. They are exactly at eye level next to the bathroom. From experience working in a hardware store, if I had not been wearing glasses, I would have sliced my eye on a steel plate sticking out of the rack.

[@EerAzuil]

I came here to say the same.

[@andersn64Lux]

Adam, you might say you want a museum. But listening to you telling stories about every item of that place you call a work place or storage is a museum and you are the curator. It's as always an inspiration to go on tures with you though the cave.

[@TheFlyingMasterChef]

I actually laughed with you while watching this. I was BLOWN AWAY at the new shop!!!! I have watched so many of your videos and seen much of how it used to be...that when he turned the camera I litterally sat with my mouth open in awe!!! And to see your passion and you LOVE for the ILM stuff...really made every word of your stories about them so much more meaningful. THANK YOU, Adam, for sharing with us. This is why you are one of my favorite people / story tellers ever. Greg

[@Dysiode]

I wonder if your wife knew that one day you'd need to expand your shop and having a display space was a beautiful way of reserving that until you were ready. I'm crying literal tears, I'm so happy for you and for the stories you're preserving

[@Steven-og8lv]

Adam, Please please please make sure you have a fire prevention system set up ! Where are all the fire extinguishers? Do you have WiFi enable smoke alarms? Your shop is absolutely amazing and should have all safety measures in place.

[@jaredmulconry]

Shop infrastructure is some of my favourite content on this channel. I didn't realise that's what this video would alude to, so it took me a week to get around to watching this video. I need to binge all of the past shop infrastructure videos to prime myself for what's to come. I'm happy for you and the people you share this space with.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

I'm not even a model maker, but your joy in this stuff is delightful. I'm enjoying all of this with you.
