Adam Savage's One Day Builds: First Order Retrievability Tool Cart!

2023 ж. 14 Ақп.

Adam rebuilds the most important tool cart in the cave: the storage for all his drill bits, end mills, and various drivers. It's an exercise in first order retrievability and reexamining the tools Adam goes to most in his builds. And of course the whole thing is put on casters. And as Adam finishes up this cart, he keeps the momentum up by remaking his shop's vast hammer storage!

  • This video has a refreshing vibe around it. I think the fact that Adam authentically is working through the process, rather than always doing bits to camera really accentuates the idea that we are just on the journey with you. Points of this have a real "water cooler" discussion, like "those chucking reamers" and you can see Adam is visibly amused in an authentic way. This was a true pleasure to watch.

It's even more motivating to see Adam strive to use materials on-hand and disassemble things for parts rather than "just go buy a 2x4." It's made me realize that I can definitely put together a great solution without having to commit to buying stuff before I feel like I can get started. 11/10 would watch cart and hammerack build again

Adam's is the best: a cramped, chaotic, magical attic packed to the gills with objects of fascination. And still totally practical and functional. Back in the 2000's I lived (I think) just a couple blocks away!

  • I ditched drawers when I was 12 years old. I got rid of the dresser in exchange for a set of floor to ceiling shelves made from wood planks and those decorative concrete blocks that are used in yard work throughout southern Florida. Not only did it help keep all my clothes at a “first order retrievable” level, but it was able to hold double the amount. I was able to access the upper shelves because it was located across from the end of my bed and I would climb up the end of the bunk bed to get to them. I liked how having everything in view helped me to keep it organized. I am a fan of the adage “A place for everything,and everything in its place;” but, there is always a need to have an “Everything Drawer,” a place for that random doodad I find in my pocket at the end of the day. About once a month I go through the drawer and organize it too. Some things stay in the drawer like the roll of waxed string and heavy needle that I keep handy because I don’t want to go to the shop for a little repair job. We bought a fixer upper of our own two years ago after a lifetime of renting, and in the process of all the repairs and upgrades I do not have an Everything Drawer right now and it shows. My end table is piled with books and pens and random pocket things that are not getting tidied. Every time I have a choice I am spending the time on building the infrastructure of the house, developing the workspace in the basement, replacing the tube and post electrical in the second floor, creating a music and art studio in the semi finished attic. I still need to replace the interior load bearing wall that was removed in a 1973 remodel and leaves the ceiling of the first floor sagging about two inches. And all the while my bedside end table calamity keeps piling up with occasional landslides. 😂

  • Your updated philosophy on drawers has been very useful to me. I have pretty severe ADHD and struggle with all elements of executive function, starting tasks, object permanence (for lack of a better term), organising, etc. and spent the longest time feeling like I needed things to be out on display in order to be able to function. I had so many drawers just filled with unorganised junk that languished forever, and I spent horrifying amounts of money re-buying things that I had several of just trapped and forgotten in drawers and other storage. I remember hearing you talk about your changing attitude toward drawers a while back, which prompted me to get one of those Really Useful Box storage towers with the clear drawers. I figured they're just about transparent enough to see the stuff inside, so that'd be a good compromise. But what I hadn't counted on is the sheer benefit that came with having a drawer for each thing, with a label on it. It was a total paradigm shift. Such a huge upgrade in terms of accessibility. I moved house since (first time buy!) and got a new workspace. I've built a huge storage rack with dozens of drawers, laser cut custom dividers, and labelled everything. I wrote some quick and dirty software to do inventory management of electronics parts, auto-extracting purchase data from my emails so I don't have to babysit it or maintain it. It's all a complete game changer and I'm finally starting to feel like my awareness of and access to tools and parts isn't as much of a barrier any more.

  • Recently found this channel. Only wish I had found it a long time ago. I love Adam's content and how he does each video. I also love how personal the videos are. It's like you are right there with him. He is so quirky and BRILLIANT!! His incredible shop is a hot mess but I LOVE IT!!! It's fun to follow along and see his mind working to solve problems and come up with great solutions.....Now I've been binge watching and I just can't seem to get enough :o) Thank you sir for producing these very cool videos!!!

  • fun video!! One of my favorite workshop creations is my "frankenFORT" inspired largely by your system. I don't know if it has a single 90 degree angle in it since it was one of my first projects, but man the pure, raw function is off the charts. I've applied the philosophy to every work surface I've built since, with tool wells and open storage built into every piece of shop furniture. My time spent creating would be horribly inefficient and disorganized if I hadn't seen some of your other FORT material years ago. Thanks for that!

  • My 8th grade shop teacher had what he called a FLOOR cart…. I always thought it was because he pushed it around from one work station to the next…. On the shop floor. Years later at a class reunion I found out that it actually meant First Logical Order Of Retrievability. Mind 🤯

It's so satisfying. Adam, you're my hero. Thanks for all you do to share with us your world. I learn from you every day. Your shop is amazing.

  • Always fun to watch Adam working through a problem. Its funny, at first glance, Adam's shop is chaos, but as you watch him work, you realise, it is organised, just there is just too much stuff for the space....which is impressive because his shop is not small. It will be interesting if he ends up moving, because no matter how big the new space is, it will eventually be too small again one day...

  • Drawers are a place where things go to die when you don't use them very much. But if you are constantly in those drawers, you are constantly reminded of what you have and where it is located. It really is a matter of how often you are reminded of the tools, that you even have them and where they are located.

  • All these shop infrastructure videos are great. I'm interested to see Adam's thoughts on the aftermath of changes like this. How long until the new "muscle memory" sets in? Do changes get finessed until a truly permanent arrangement emerges? What were the awesome solutions that turned out not so great?

  • Adam, I had never heard the term, “first order of retrievability”. Now I know what I’m lacking. If you were to watch me try and find ANYTHING tool wise, you would rent your hair and scream, like I usually do. As a person who has suffered from ADHD my whole life, organization is daily struggle. I love watching you get excited about organizing your stuff. I feel it, and wish I could do the same. Nothing kills initiative more than not being able to find THAT tool you need, when you need it.

  • Adam's workshop will probably be turned into a museum someday. And it's best to start cataloguing every single change he's ever made as it shows the evolution of mankind's skill of organization and creation process over a lifetime and that is an important knowledge to pass down for generations to come. Just a man and his tools in a space over time.

  • The thing that probably strikes home the most with me about this video is the simple child-like glee from Adam when he completes a simple storage cart. Admittedly I personally would have made the hammer cart just welding 2" stubs of pipe together but ... different go-to materials for different folks. I think Adam once said on (or about) Myth Busters that he tended to err towards wood whereas Jamie tended to err towards building things from metal.
