Tour of Adam Savage's Shop (2024)

Adam Savage's shop is almost unrecognizable since our video tour a decade ago. But in the last month it's undergone its most massive transformation yet, with the prop display space now completely gone, replaced by racks and racks of model-making bits and bobs from the former ILM model shop. Adam is THRILLED with his "new" shop, and there are more videos -- and more changes -- to come! What do YOU think?

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.

(What're you gonna make w/ all this?) - (Pls say animated / miniature film series or something / maybe collab w / Corridor Crew (or similar) crue?)

[@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.

[@freedomtoclick]

Same here. 😊

[@saschaacker7149]

Same! 😀

[@TandemTuba]

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?

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

Not to be over dramatic but it kinda feels like The Library of Alexandria.

[@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.

[@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 …

[@user-ng5cy3wi7j]

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

[@TheMileHighGeek]

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.

[@Dazzgracefulmoon]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@PaulParkinson]

Truly one of the best "Cave" videos on this channel. A joyous tour, full of excitement for the possible.

[@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.

[@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.

[@bab7880]

What an amazing way to force you into the change you needed, with a proven organization structure, but more importantly, the preservation and sharing of this amazing piece of prop-making history. I’m overcome with emotion just watching this, so I can’t even begin to fathom what Adam went through physically, emotionally, and inspirationally. I can’t wait to see more!

[@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 🙂

[@Oldtimerider]

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

[@thebasementoverland]

You're the definition of passion. Thank you for showing that bright light in today's world.

[@MrArcadia2009]

I just came from you're shop updating video, and it's amazing. Even from someone who isn't entirely organized, it's still great to see it happen. And I was honestly amazed at the amount of space you have in there, now, and I hope to see more videos of you utilizing that space to the fullest of it's abilities. Congrats, Adam. It's really great.

[@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!

[@harveyharrison4387]

I honestly think, if you're ever feeling down, stuck, uninspired, this is the type of extremely wholesome content to cheer you up while simultaneously inspiring you to get cracking with whatever project you have going on.

[@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.

[@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.

[@tchase4726]

Your enthusiasm and joy are some of the best things about your work. It’s the glee of a fan making stuff from their favorite movie. And this tour was like a happy kid showing off his new toys. Never stop being happy!

[@conqu2]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@Jhamstra42]

Adam Savage is a true gem of a human being. The world would be infinitely better if we all had the same energy and passion towards life as he does.

[@glacieractivity]

As long as Adam keeps working on the shop he is preventing the World from terminating itself in a "puff of logic" from realizing that hardly anything in the World makes sense any longer. The day Adam stops tinkering, I am afraid that the Universe itself will say "That is it" and reboot itself in the hope of evolving into something more sensible than our planet currently is providing. This shop is our collective safe place.

YES TO THIS, YES, YES, YES @@glacieractivity

OMG! I'm in tears at how wonderful this all is. All of those racks and supplies and history are now in his care. I can think of no one better than Adam to have it all in his creative space.

[@mromutt]

I think its kind of funny he talked as if he took away his display/museum area, but in reality he just changed what historic pieces he is displaying :D just like a real museum has to do from time to time.

Fantastic story and major shop upgrade. I like how you said it, that you've grown up and now you can execute and serve the new shop, honor the legacy of ILM model shop items, keep it together and it continues it's life in your cave... I can't think of a more fitting place for them and I'm sure you'll have your own stories to tell with them... 2024 will be an awesome year!!! Cheers

[@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.

[@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.

[@WestCoastRacingLeague]

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 🎉

[@Gnomesayin]

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.

[@Dreadnought242]

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.

[@EveryDaySkinnyGuy]

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

[@TomParkes1993]

Awesome to see that you've expanded your workspace, i'm amazed at your memory and ability to remember where you got each part of your shop, it's history etc. and i can't wait to see how your shop evolves over the coming months.

[@scottgrabau1307]

I'm so glad you were able to give those racks a new home. They are so cool!, and have the perfect home now. Your organization makes me happy.

[@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.

[@eve13acatty]

It's honestly inspiring to see and hear about this type of process, of the ever-moving adjustments, additions and clean-ups to a workspace! Your passionate and enthusiastic way of talking and explaining and telling stories (which I have been listening to since watching Mythbusters as a young kid) are a joy and comfort to listen to! This channel is so nicely human, too, I'm glad I (re)discovered it!

When I saw the new hardware room I literally throw my fists it the air like my team scores a winning goal and yelled, "THAT'S AMAZING!!" So happy for you and can't wait to see where it goes! After designing and building three different construction company shops over the years I know that feeling if endless possibilities!

It makes me so happy to see this shop update. It's so incredibly cool to see the shop grow like this. In some way it's sad to see the display's leaving the shop, but the amount of workable area is immens. I really can't wait to see new projects coming from this place. Congrats on the upgrade!

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.

[@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

Fighting my own shop space issues I was thrilled with how you were able to change yours. I have always appreciated your one day builds completed in your cave with such limited room. I am really envious now and look forward future improvements. You have given me hope, thanks. LOL

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.

It is remarkable how much we can get done with a small workspace. Watching the ILM tour speaks to that. They innovated an industry in small workshops. Love it.

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 :)

I've been on an endless project to rethink my homework space. So satisfying to watch this and to see you going through it. I was in the middle of building a shelf last night when I called it and I woke up early because the idea of my space being a mess was hard for me. Woke up, got it done, looks amazing.

Adam, your intellect is only rivalled by your passion & excitement you have for your craft! I find it infectiously motivating to watch clips like this which shows the organized chaos that you have going on in your thoughts and planning. Keep on creating & planning, your videos are awesome - as are your creations! Cheers, Rick in Vancouver, B.C., Canada 😎👍☕

I'm honestly very happy for you. You organizational skills continue to amaze me. I can't wait to see what incredible new things will come out of all that new space. Have fun! :)

Adam, congrats on conquering such a monumental undertaking and getting to save such amazingly important stuff in the process. I have always had visiting The Cave as a bucket list item and this just adds to the excitement!

[@MooseZ71]

Thank you. You constantly make me feel like I'm not weird for how my brain works, when no one else around me understands. From what you said about liminal space bothering you, to your need for first order retrievability, I feel all of that deeply. We moved a year ago. I no longer have a shop space and everything is in boxes right now. It's driving me mad! One of your greatest contributions is that insight and knowledge that it's okay to feel that way. Thank you.

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!!

[@tweakingheavily]

I was waiting all week for this one since the teaser of you answering questions dropped in the new configuration. beautiful space Adam and thanks for sharing!

[@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.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

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

[@soulphisto79]

Absolute shop goals! I love that you saved that fascinating piece of ILM history, and that it will fuel your creative process for years to come. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@glendonbradley]

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

[@akareject]

NGL, I welled up when Adam walked into the bigger room. I had that feeling it became what it has always been. So excited to see what comes out of that shop!

[@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.

[@dimensionalvintage]

Your enthusiasm for your work is always so intoxicating. Love hearing about the ILM stuff and the organization is so satisfying! Hauling those shelves must've been a slog

[@dayannam]

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!

[@MitutoyoAmerica]

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

[@ACe-zg1je]

Man, I’m touched! Thank you for sharing. I’ve never met you but every video of yours I see I admire the quality of human being in you. You rule, Adam!
