ruid r-u-i-d-h am i pronouncing that correctly ruid
unfortunately the only place i have for tool storage is an unheated garage
i watch my tools slowly rust from winter temperatures what can i do to remove
rust and prevent its return okay so to remove rust
you gotta get yourself some of this this is um a rust remover evapo rust that i
discovered watching youtube videos of people doing tool
restorations um i can actually get rid of this
that's better um i like you i love all those videos
people were storing ancient antique tools i'm starting to think some people
put tools in acid to artificially rust them so they
can clean them up i'm not i don't buy every single one of those videos however
one very consistent thing is that there are a lot of ways to
remove rust there are acids and there are all sorts of caustic agents to do it
and this is not one of them this actually removes rust
really well it is non-toxic touch your skin uh you don't want to
drink it and you want to wash your hands after
you use it but it is so much less uh caustic and toxic than
anything else out there and it's reusable you fill a
bin with it you put something in and it removes the rust you keep that bin you
can keep on putting stuff in there and it'll keep removing the rust
i cleaned up all my one two three blocks because um
yeah the problem i have with rust is i use one two three blocks to hold stuff
together while i'm doing brass construction and the uh
the flux that i use for silver solder is like a fast rusting agent man it makes
everything rust so my one two three blocks had gotten super messed up and i
bought this stuff soaked it in them and i am in love with it
so that's a great way to get rid of frost i didn't expect we do
maybe uh yeah i'll do a tool about this and we'll do a little demo
um for keeping rust off of your tools you just got to rub a light oil on them
don't spray them with wd-40 that it's a good
way to also remove rust using some steel wool or scotch brite but wd-40
uh it it can dry and go away and leave your piece
unprotected you want to use like a uh like a light like like a three in one
oil like that like that guy um yeah rub your tool on that
that's a great protector i i rubbed out all my tools with three in one oil
um
adrian hardy adam will you continue doing single one day builds when there
are plans to do a series of builds uh sorry will you continue doing single
one day builds or are there plans to do a series of builds
that are part of a larger hole
we have a couple of longer builds in the hopper
one i have one is actually one is still going um i will say
i'll say after grant died i was really messed up
and i had i had a really i came in here a few days later i was actually on the
trip a family i was on a family visit uh to see my
in-laws when that happened and i came back here
and i came into the shop and i just didn't feel like doing anything
and i spent a couple days in that state and then i thought you know
i want to do something that feels more resonant i want to do something that
has more meat on its bones and somehow doing that just like a quickie
one day build or a shop infrastructure build just felt
too lightweight so i i actually dove into a project that i've been thinking
about for a long time i'm not going to tell you what it is
it's going to show up as a few one-day builds because it's going to be a
multi-step process but the very first portion of that took me
about 90 hours uh well over two solid weeks of work
and that is the most elaborate one day build i've
yet had and it's only halfway done i still have to do some finishing i have
to do some other detail work and some mechanical work on this thing
um but that's the kind of deep dive that i
wanted creatively and it's and part of it is because it
was specifically those kind of projects on which grant and i really connected as
as makers and engineers and and colleagues
um you know sometimes when you're working on
look if you're like me and you replicate props
you've certainly had this experience where someone says what are you working
on and you say oh i'm building this really cool thing for a thing for a
thing and they're like really that sounds weird you get these
responses sometimes from people that just don't get your deal so you
know it was always a pleasure to tell grant
what i was working on and to see what he was working on
so yeah uh i am also about to travel soon
as part of another much longer one day build
uh and so yeah we are look we're still going to be i'm
shooting on my phone for the foreseeable future
except for probably some small places here and there where joe and guthrie
will come in and we're going to creep up on that as
we feel more and more comfortable and yeah we're starting to look at some
deeper and bigger one-day builds um we're good we're very good on inventory
like we have a lot of videos in the hopper which is nice because it gives us
freedom to think about things like this
thomas clubholtz asks hi from germany hello germany i love your country ally
uh ward and i went there a few years ago on a job and i spent uh
like a week and a half in germany what a lovely lovely
place with lovely people um how does your wife like her new watering can
she loves it she loves it um she thought it was hilarious
so i was i was going over i know you shouldn't read your own comments
but i was particularly psyched about that building so i was reading some of
the comments on youtube we're okay it's okay uh and but one of
the things i noticed that i thought was very funny
was that a whole bunch of people were like how can you build something and not
show it working like this there's a particular kind of
ocd and i completely get this where you're like
you made a machine you call the watering can a machine for delivering water and
then you did not show us that machine operating
and i'm really really sorry um i did shoot a little video of the watering can
working and we'll hopefully we'll upload that um she
loves the water again uses it every single day and uh the
succulents that that surrounds uh the perimeter of our
little tiny deck here in the mission are just they're awesome they're really
lovely uh actually we have a let me show you
something the succulents are if you if you've ever
grown succulents they're like aliens right
there there's a an amazing book science
fiction book by stanislaw lem it's a polish science
fiction writer super super important writer if you
don't know him you got to read a whole bunch of his stuff
amazing amazing writer and he wrote a book called
eden which is about a group of astronauts finding life on another
planet but it's not life like here like it's
the weirdest life you could imagine and succulents feel like they belong in
that book right so uh we've had a lot of warm nights
lately and as we have these warm nights we spend a lot more time
out on the deck and um wait there we go uh we spent a lot more
time out on the deck and uh in the right light succulents can be
completely surreal man they can be super super
beautiful so i take these like really peculiar sort of evocative
strange pictures of the succulents on my deck
yeah i've been taking all these ones that make my succulent make the
make the succulents look far more dramatic than they actually are oh yeah
here you go that's the kind of stuff oh
hey everybody a few weeks ago i made a birthday present for my wife
i made a watering can out of brass that i had in the shop
and here is said watering can and the build we put it up
recently and a lot of you pointed out that i went through all the effort of
making a machine that delivers water because that's what
this is and i went through all the effort of
making the machine and i did not show the machine
working and this is my bad i really apologize i should have
understood that that is that's what i do with all my other machine builds why
didn't i do this one so here you go here is the glass here is
the flower i keep wanting to call it a flower pot
here's my watering can and here it is working
cheers i'm not sure if i could drink that
hey everyone adam savage here in my cave and we are living through a completely
strange moment in time six months ago the entire world changed everyone went
into lockdown and so did tested we became a virtual
workplace almost overnight and now i see all my
colleagues almost exclusively on video chat
i am shooting only on the phone i know the sound quality's gotten worse
norm joey and gunther are all editing from home
and maybe the biggest change is output we have radically increased the number
of videos that we make because well that's what i'm doing all week long
here is just shooting everything on my phone
and eventually the world will return to normal but one of the things we want to
keep up is the pace of videos that we've been
releasing we've been ecstatic about your feedback about this
and we want to keep it going but in order to we need to ask for your direct
