Adam Savage's One Day Build: Workbench Cubby Door!

While working on an upcoming One Day Build, Adam finds time for a mini shop repair project replacing the cubby door on his old workbench storage! This cabinet is home to Adam's collection of shop oils (like Molybdenum!) and it's warm-lit storage cubby is both practical and provides a bit of spatial ambiance!

At my age, getting on the ground is not the issue ( it actually comes fairly naturally). Getting back up takes a lot more effort than it used to. 🙂

"You're not really a screw anymore... You're a screw shaped object" is just a perfect Adam line.

@30:19 I was waiting for the door and the tote of screws to fall to the ground. Of all your videos, this one made made you seem the most relatable and human, what with talking to the door as you're fixing, dropping tools, forgetting measurements and spilling coffee. Thanks for not editing out any of these little shop time moments.

I 100% agree with your philosophy on "pockets of light". When we moved into our house that was built in 1962 and left mostly originally intact, the house came with no less than 12 or so lamps of various sizes and I've got them scattered all over the house and it's a very cozy feeling.

With how attracted to light Adam is, I can't help but imagine him drawn as a little moth who's obsessed with building things with all sorts of little lights in them!

[nirodha]

I love how after talking lovingly about pockets of light… Adam pulls a light out of his rear pocket to lite up his work :-)

Not many would think lighting up a cupboard full of oils would be romantic, but it is! It absolutely is! Adam, you charmer you. <3

[AnimeRonin]

rule one of removing old cabinet doors - bring four times the number of screwdrivers that you think you need because all of the screws are different sizes and are probably stripped out.

It's the moments where Adam's looking for something and he's just mumbling away to himself that always put a smile on my face 🤣

Using a syringe for glue is an awesome idea that I would never have thought of! Love getting tips and tricks from more experienced makers, always helps me look smarter than I is.

I love a 4-5 minute emotional monologue from Adam, worth every second of my time.

[elonmuskyarmpits]

Anxiety! Was waiting for the screw organizer to fall off the edge.😂

[olympia]

Came for a One Day Build, got a free lesson on cosy lighting. I love this channel!

[Games_and_Music]

Totally with you on the "pockets of light", i never use the ceiling lights in my livingroom, and i never use white light, i like a darker room with some orange glow, it reminds me of wooden houses and candle light.

[rosenracht]

Glad to know it's not just amateurs that struggle unscrewing things at times.

[timchamberlain]

Loved the rant on lamps as a fellow lamp enthusiast, being able to control the area of lighting instead of indiscriminate light everywhere is just so much warmer and calmer.

[limecola]

My partner and I love pockets of light— we very rarely have our main lights on, but we always have lamps on— not quite 6x lamps worth, but one day! ⭐️

I watched in amazement as Adam relentlessly fired one pin/brad after another into that tiny door. I simply couldn't believe the overkill. But then I counted them up and everything became clear. 42 - the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything (including how many pins/brads should I use for this repair?)

As someone who moved from the US to Canada, I can say that: FORGET PHILLIPS! Try out robertson (square head) screws. Absolute game changer. Almost never have old Robertson screws strip out on me. The head more often shears off the shaft!
