Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Workshop Hardware Storage!

That’s what I need.. an assistant.

that was so beautiful i want to own it

Man... Imagine how much more time this incredible guy could gain if just metric was his everyday hardware.... Sorry couldn't resist...

Just kidding!! Sorry! I do keep the old stuff in hand too... Oops sorry, did it again ..😂😂

Great build, Adam!! It is awesome to see you designing and making!!

I cheer alongside your accomplishments in every single video (btw I am fully aware that these accomplishments happened years ago and I am the one late to the game here).

Holly cr4p! How awesome is this?!

I work in a manufacturing plant, and for our bolt bins we use Lista cabinets with Schaller corporation bin cups. Adam would absolutely love it. I’m slowly creating my own version in a snap on box I have. It makes retrieving exactly what you want so quick, and you can fit so much in a small footprint.

I’m not in a hardware store skylar, I am the hardware store

Nice video. Why are you Pixeling the soda or beer can?

That's a beautiful setup. I, personally, don't like open bins because I don't have a dust-free shop.

Somebody but Adam a metal chop saw!

Awesome.
Couldn't you buy or make dividers and use the sorters you have?

You're adam savage! Why don't you do something crazier? :D Arduino controlled, remote controlled, gps locator rolling hardware storage maybe? :D ;) Sorry for the bad english, I wrote you with a translator from Hungary. I am 45 years old now but I have been following your work since I was young.

Everyone knows screws, nuts, bolts, and washers belong at waist to chin height not knee height. Plus wouldn't a maker just make the hardware holders because it's like fn kindergarten?

I only watched the first minute and the last minute. Was wondering what the difference was from the original fastener cart? Couldn't you just put smaller drawers on the original one, or was there just not enough shelves on that one?

👍😎 I expected Adam to have a cool welding helmet, like Boba Fett or something.

DANG! That's hardcore, but I understand your justification. I use grandad's idea of screwing baby food jar lids to a wall shelf above my work bench, but I'm a homeowner tinkerer, not a professional maker. LOL, I'd use less than one half of one shelf width of your storage! I DO agree with welding the casters, though. In what situation will YOU ever need THOSE casters again??

Why is welding the casters on offensive?

Maybe it would be easier to buy an Ace Hardware and build stuff in the back while continuing to staff and sell goods to customers.

might want to put heavier stuff on the bottom rather than on top something that tall probably shouldnt be top heavy

I didn't realize you could install a caster without welding it😁 I always wondered what those 4 holes for?

Cant you just turn it like an aisle?

Watching this three years later and realizing that the whole thing never even needed to roll, as it sits in the same position today. It's funny how we can start with a goal and only realize later that our initial assumptions always need to be scrutinized.

In addition you could epoxy the actual product on the lip if you have the time

No gloves while welding, yikes!😅

Not fair at all. You have someone who has legible handwriting 🥰

😂😂 grabs a leather jacket... proceeds to weld bare handed with rings on lol

So no ones gonna talk about him NOT USING GLOVES while welding????

I love the way you think!!!!!

I was slightly confused when he said start with the quarter 20 toward the bottom and put the heavy stuff up top. I'm glad that changed. Especially when his major concern was mobility and ease of access.

I'm just gonna have to live with my dozen of acro shelf bins from various garage and estate sales. I have a decent amount it's not organized well but I can usually find what I need which is better then running to the local hardware store about 13 min away or auto store 25 min away. Doing something like that is an expensive investment because it's all up front. But nothing can beat the feeling of knowing you have what you need to get the job done without messing around. Or even knowing you can start a job and don't have to worry about getting things before you start or what you might run into while doing it.

Stumbled across this video while eating lunch, gotta say I enjoyed the welding ASMR

I love Adam Savage and his work but would someone give the man a job on a movie?

But what about screws and nails?!

"Here's the problem" The problem is they are all imperial, when are you Yanks gonna get with the Metric System?

Remember kids, playing with your nuts makes your hands dirty!!!

What is the rationale for having the boxes deeper on 3 sides but angled down towards the side that only has a shallow lip. I get that you can reach in but doesn't it rather preclude you from filling the boxes up?

A lot of the yellow boxes looked pretty full. I wonder what happened with the overflow?

There's something only satisfying about those handwritten lables😅 I need to practice my handwriting so I can actually read my handwritten lables😂

Hey Adam! I’m building a similar set up, I’m very interested in the hardware you stock, what determines if you keep them in house?

You should back-lite the entire shelf with stirp-lites.

Abut welding galvanized steel…. It releases a toxic gas that can kill you and cause major health issues. As far as why he said Iknow I’m welding my casters it’s because of the bearings inside of them the grease cooks out. But I weld casters all the time however I wear a gas mask and do it outdoors so the toxic gas doesn’t hurt me.

It's going to be top-heavy with all the big stuff at the top. Keep the big stuff at the bottom, what you use the most in the middle and the small things at the top.

Who are you and what have you done with Adam Savage. In NO universe does Adam say "I need 15 shelves" and IN THE NEXT SHOT like magic there are 15 shelves, built, complete with no views of him drawing them up, sawing the boards and putting them together! Yet we then see him making every single weld! It's just not the way he works.

Welding on casters... what if one should fail? It puts me in mind of one of the most annoying things at the first home I ever bought. There was a block fence with an access gate. Someone had welded carriage bolts to the mounting plates for the iron hinges on the OUTSIDE of the supporting block. That means that the nuts holding the thing on were inside the concrete block. When the hinge ultimately failed (broke off), I had to hire a contractor to come in and disassemble the entire 6-foot-block support for the gate. If they had instead welded the carriage bolts to the plate INSIDE the block support, I could have just loosened nuts on the outside to replace the hings and saved myself hundreds of dollars on the repair.

do meth much?

I would have put 8 wheels 😊
