Adam Savage's Weirdest One Day Build Yet!

Adam gives his Royal Orb replica a long-awaited upgrade: a secret function hidden in the sphere that makes it one of the most novel and unusual things he's ever built. The sheer ridiculousness of turning an icon of the crown jewels into a cigarette dispensing music box brings Adam so much joy!

Thanks for watching!

along with the whole "dispensing death" thing, I love the idea of a very fancy bejeweled device as a service dish for something as common as cigarettes. would have also been nice as something like a candy or chip bowl. also, the irony of filling the British crown jewels with 'American Spirit' brand cigarettes is particularly great.

Before you think of the Orb as the least amongst objects in the British Crown Jewels, you should know there is a ‘Spoon’ amongst the Jewels which is used to anoint the King with Holy Oil. (Incidentally the Spoon is the oldest item in the Crown Jewels)

I genuinely feel like this needed to be a visual gag in the Johnny English movie with Rowan Atkinson. You have made something that just seems like it should have been a thing all along. Very good work sir.

Adam is like human catnip. Watching him enjoy making things always makes me enjoy making things even more. I don't do this kind of work, but his love of objects, mechanics and doodads is infectious.

Turning the Orb from the Crown Jewels into a cigarette dispenser feels very James Bond. I could see him knowing what it really was, saving it from a bad guy, and cracking it open in front of M to snag a smoke 😂. You could be making a prop for a Bond film back in the Sean Connery days!!!

My Grandfather would have loved this! It's so 70's. He had them all. From the hip and drink shaking cigarette girl to the little boy who pees you a drink. Memories.😊 Marvellous Adam.

[knownaigm]

I absolutely love the hilarious absurdity of this build and the fact that you ran with it just because it's fun and funny.

[gradypulley]

Idk if youll ever read this, but your videos have been a great tool for me to escape from the horrible world around me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Adam. The positivity and joy this series has brought me are invaluable.

[jeromethiel]

The sheer joy of Adam during this build made my day. Thank you, Adam, for making at least one persons day just that much better.

[ARDIZsq]

I have no idea how to explain it, but this is the most Adam project I could ever think of, and it's as amazing as one would imagine it to be.

[jimruddy]

What a vast set of skills to accomplish this build. Too bad the music box doesn't play God Save the King - would make the absurdity complete. Watching the build it made me wonder if you have a favorite brand of butane torch and (what I assume) dental drill?

[rodwilliams]

What an amazing build. Love watching, you go through the process of creating solutions and solving problems and also the fact that you never have to go to a shop for anything. It's always on hand 😊

[John_Krone]

So much fun listening to Adam. Love the HAL9000 reference. Your laughter makes me laugh harder. Love it

[clenaghen]

Adam, I've watched MB since the beginning and your channel of adventures and creations.I really enjoy your excitement and enthusiasm with everything you do. It's like watching the excitement of a child on Christmas. What I would give to spend a day building in your shop! You are a gem to builders all around the world!

I already got one! My parents had one in the early 60s - always fascinated me as a kid. They other day they (now in their 90s and not smoking since that time) asked me if I wanted it - "Yes!" It's brushed aluminum on the outside, the insides are gold tone, and it comes with a smaller orb that's a lighter when you open it. They sit next to the half sized Tardis in my husband's office. Still love them!

Has Adam heard that the original 3ft USS Enterprise model from TOS apparently has been found and is supposed to be returned to the Roddenberry estate

[MrAcuta]

That was a hilarious build. Shows Adam's more twisted side to his sense of humor. Definitely enjoyed it for more than the mechanics of a build! 😂

[LegendProdgy]

The mad man cackle at 40:09 literally made my day, the passion and care you have for projects is truly genuine. Thank you Adam.

[Arlecchino_Gatto]

For some reason I have a feeling that such an item would be likely to exist in the Fallout games! I am so glad to be able to see you and your fun manic energy Mr. Adam Savage. I just happened to have turned on my tv when the first Mythbusters episode first aired and I was instantly hooked. It is nice to be able to still see your creative mind at work after all these years!

[michielkruijff]

I love it! My only gripe is that the cushion should have been in purple velvet. :D
