Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Poker Table!

Adam has previously shown his replica poker chips set from the movie Rounders, and now he needs a proper poker table as well. This One Day Build is just that: a custom poker table that fits atop the circular podcast table in the cave! Making this 47-inch diameter table has Adam bringing out a bunch of power tools in the shop, cutting the wood in interesting ways to get this distinct form.

Making with Adam Savage:

80% “I have the perfect tool for this.”

20% hiding crimes.

10:04 "yeah, that's fine"
Translation: "Screw that. I'm not starting over"

9:43 - 10:05 Adam deciding which two friends to not invite to poker night lmao.

When you make a bigger poker table in the future, it needs to fit over the smaller poker table. Like Russian nesting dolls.

"I bought it back when I was making TV money" tickled me more than it had a right to. Love these vids, they're so satisfying to watch a skilled craftsman apply those skills to such a variety of projects.

27:31 Watching him work is like watching 3 people inside of one body. They have their own patience level, one of them wants to explain and think through everything, one of them wants to be correct, and the last one just wants to try it and stop talking. They usually do a pretty good job of keeping the body and project in check, even if they mess each other up now and then.

I think the best way to cut the edge pieces is to use a 48” hole saw bit.

39:42 - "I realize it should be bigger, but it is what it is."


That's what I always tell em!

For some reason I'm getting serious Bob Ross feelings watching your videos Adam. You're so chill and calm and "you don't need all these things, just use what you have". It's great! Thank you so much.

"I bought it back when I was making TV money" was one of the most real things i have heard someone on youtube say in ages - i felt that comment to the bone!

"I bought it back when I was making TV money"

Easily one of my favourite Adam quotes.

Adam: I can't believe I didn't measure, I'm so lazy.
Also Adam: cuts like 400 small slots into strips of plywood with a table saw, just so he can make a rim.

I feel like I'm a kid watching my dad work on the house and I'm holding his tools.

Adam Savage is TOP of my List when it comes to "Worst Pokerfaces of this Century" I can just imagine him cheering up in childlike joy when he is given a full house :D

This took me back to industrial arts class in junior high. I can just hear my teacher giving every safety lecture on every power tool as they were shown to us. I of course listened and never had a mishap but can remember others having cuts and bruises from poor tool usage. Thankfully though, , no one lost fingers. My favorite projects that I made were a sheet steel dust pan that I gifted my mom and a cork board and chalk board message center for use by the phone. I also have a plexiglass key chain I made and key ring holder. Sadly in high school they would not allow me to take building trades. They refused to let girls in the class citing safety issues. I learned cement, plumbing, basic electric, roofing, and construction from my grandpa building hunting hunting cabins. I also learned car care from my dad and grandpa when learning to drive. I still do almost all of my own work alongside my husband. Thanks for the good memory reminders.

I love how honest he is. "You don't really need one of these but I bought it back when I was making TV money."

[pegsicle]

Adam: this is how small my shop is. Also Adam: takes up half his shop with replica space suits and pool tables.

That foam cutting tool brings back memories of working for $2/hour as an upholsterer's helper (yeah, it was the mid-70's). Once customer came in wanting new foam for some seat cushions, and the master just handed me the tool, and pointed out where the new foam was. I traced out the new against the old pieces, and cut out new pieces while he waited.

I enjoyed watching the build, but yeah, you need a bigger table so you can fit the full nine around the table. Shuffle up and deal! :) Thanks Adam.

Just once I want to see a show called "Adam takes his time"
