Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Tabletop Maker's Vise!

Adam adds a new vise to his workbench: a versatile Instrument Maker's Vise designed to grip flat or cylindrical workpieces at different precise angles. This vise is actually a kit from Hemingway, and putting it together becomes a machining adventure unto itself! But the journey is well worth it as Adam couldn't be happier with the finished kit and the machining lessons and experience he gained along this build!

22:31 is more of a ThisOldTony shot - the picture/frame consists 50% of a-pair-of-talking-hands and 50% of steel. Now Clickspring´s shot would be 50% a-pair-of-aussie-talking-hands and 50% brass.

He also has a better, more expensive CNC vice. Easy to be happy that way.

Adam keeps me company when I struggle to sleep. Being a person who finds making and mechanical things very therapeutic, these videos somehow helps me calm my anxiety enough for me to fall asleep. (then I usually watch the video again next day but for entertainment) So thank you for making these! Keep being awesome 🌟

It's been satisfying to see Adam's confidence in machining grow over the past year. He didn't have the experience to build this vice a year ago.

I must say I truly love the way you feel about tight tolerances being such a joy to share the joy with you I just happen to love that kind of stuff to your passion is addictive

"Roughly parable ... -_-" Don't you just love that moment where you sit there silent and ask your brain "Why *that* word of ALL the words we know???" Those knobs are really nice! Well done!

[@Inlelendri]

I so do - brain injury and consequent brain fog makes that a mostly daily occurrence for me. I will say that sometimes the substitute word is amusing, and I kinda feel bad for my poor brain scrambling for anything that sounds like the intended words then coming up all proud.

"Because I had to turn the flutes in the clamp knobs" is a good sentence... I like that sentence.

Amazing video, just love watching all the intricate marching, definitely going to watch it again

Nothing better than the feel and accomplishment of building things with your hands. For us it is LEGO builds. Not quite the same but it is very satisfying.

I love machining! I will be FOREVER grateful to my high school shop teacher Mr. Jones. We had to clock in like we where at work, had to do an internship and a bunch of other stuff lol. I have 1161 hours of learning documented on a certificate, and I don't even know that they still even offer the class anymore.. Kinda sad.. My only good memories from school came from that shop.

[@johnparish6566]

Thanks for not editing out those gaps when you are trying to remember a word. I'm going through that now and I thought I was mentally going down a bad road. Glad to know you do it too, now I know that it's just a bump in the road and to just carry on.

[@scottcameron35]

I’ve watched a few of your one day builds and I absolutely love them. Fantastic! It would obviously not be a one day build, but I would LOVE to see you build an off road vehicle... the attention to detail you have is outstanding!!!

[@RoseAlchemist22]

36:47 This right here is why I love watching you Adam. That whole sequence sums up your personality in a heartbeat.

[@CCHAWC717]

Seriously what happened to the velociraptor videos? Y'all even deleted the tweets mentioning their existence. Even the videos for the studio are gone, painting room, foam ball, etc. What happened?

[@philgoodinc2]

Yeah its so weird! I was halfway through part 3 and the video just stopped playing!! Would be good to at least know if they are coming back in the future.

[@chrisellaoptic]

The Animax blog post has also been removed, so it's not a KZbin isolated issue ... perhaps a falling out ?

[@ronald7378]

Yeah I noticed yesterday, wanted to ask during the livestream, but commenting was only available to members

[@SpacewolfDan]

i know all gone

[@jonathancarothers]

Maybe Universal got a little IP anxiety? One could argue that (and I would agree with them) how can someone claim ownership of a dinosaur form and the puppetry to make it a human wearable custome? While that sounds like a healthy to have and even winnable argument, if my guess is correct, it would be against the team of lawyers specializing in IP protection that a company like Universal must employ. To me that sounds like a very very very expensive and long long long argument to potentially win.

[@lilttherapper]

“Excuse me while I spin my deal” lol 😂 best line from this ODB

[@efenili]

Really clean. Exciting to watch your own progression even knowing you're already so skilled.

[@ShuRugal]

@12:26 - that's why step drills are so great when working in thin stock - you get the same "clear out a small middle then work the radius" efficiency without having to stop and change tools and worry about getting off-center.

[@darkdruid83]

I love it when Adam does his own camera work. it feels like we're in the room with him and there's no shaky, out of focus or looking at the wrong thing.

[@ducomaritiem7160]

[@JohanM942]

Love the One Day Builds, and this is no exception! BUT, I can't help but worry for Adam's eyes when I see him machining cast iron with just regular eyewear! Please take care of those puppies, so we can have One Day Builds for a long time to come!

[@spasticmuse4262]

Taking the time to step up drill bit sizes to the final hole always drove my boss batty for the extra time it took; also, "Why was I always asking for new 1/16" bits?" [mostly dealing with fairly precise adaptations/modifications of plastic enclosures by hand - though sometimes aluminum, occasionally steel] Also, starting smaller can let you correct any mistakes; if the hole goes out of round or you find it off-center, you still have the material to file/carve/etc. the hole back on center allowing the next bit(s) to bring it back into compliance. Yet I never heard a complaint about my results... or a compliment that 99 44/100% of time I didn't have to start over with new material. Top 5 reasons for the fails I did have: 1) Being rushed. 2) Cheap plastic that was laminated in the casting process & peeled. (Can also be caused by #4) 3) Being in a hurry. 4) Dull drill bits. (they wander) 5) Not taking the time to do it right. Last bit of advice - for sheet metal and thin panels, step bits are your friend. (I still start with 1/16" pilot, and work my way up to the 3/16" or matching "starting" dia. of the step bit as needed.)

While going to school for engineering, we were taught 1/2 turn and then a 1/4 turn back when tapping. When running a tap by machine... keep your hands well back and trust that you didn't screw up the setup.

[@aserta]

Or that the tap doesn't explode, sending shrapnel everywhere. Which does happen 1 out of 60 or so taps when doing it on a dumb machine. One thing i love CNCs for, not having to deal with machine tapping anymore. I have a set of programs, depending on taps/material. Press Start, count my fingers.
