Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Brass Watering Can!

Join this channel to support Tested and get access to perks:

For his wife's birthday, Adam makes from scratch a brass watering can for tending to their succulent garden! It's going to involve a wide range of brass working techniques to piece it together from raw sheets and tubes, from the engineering of the form to the machining and soldering of parts together to make it actually functional. And by the end, it becomes a beautiful bespoke gardening tool!

NOTE: This video does not include any footage of Adam actually using the watering can, so he filmed a clip after the request came up in a live stream.

Please keep this less produced format when covid is over, this is a lot more interesting to watch than the "TV show" style video

I love how the brass made differnet notes as it was dropped in the rack at around 5 mins in.

This is what a creative person looks like. Him breaking into a drum solo in the midst of crafting his own watering can just solidified that for me.

What a great personality 😄

Adam’s a lot more interesting than I realized watching him as a kid on myth busters.

A real legend 💪🏼😎👍🏼

"That's between me and my wife."

Just the way it should be, warms my heart (:

The excitement Adam has to make something for his wife is absolutely precious. His happiness is contagious through the video.

To the editor(s): using Adam’s drumming as part of the soundtrack was amazing! Excellent job!!

23:10 Adam should try his hand at making a set of steel drums.

KEEP THE SELF FILMED FORMAT!!!! So much better than the crazy camera work before the COVID-19 era.

Man, this might be the best tested video yet. Love the emotion, the enthusiasm, the excitement, the spontaneous drum jam, the flaws, the craftsmanship, the see-as-we-go, the moments you forgot to press record and the little secret message between you and your wife. Please don't stop doing these video's. They make my day.

5:05 Each one a different sound. A symphony of organization.

Am I the only one that wanted see him watering the succulents with it?

Nothing speaks love more than making something yourself for your wife, it looks fabulous!

[BlueSparrow]

So, how long before someone remixes the brass being put away into a song?

What brought me to this channel is: I loved watching Adam on Mythbusters.
What keeps me here: his passion and absolutely infectious excitement for his craft. I can just feel his happiness as he works through a project.

*the fact that this watering can will slowly acquire an outstanding and beautiful patina over the years of usage is such an awesome thing to ponder*

Love that Adam is thoughtful enough to make the watering can oblong/oval. A lot of watering can for sale is a circular can which is irritatingly a waste of storage space that I ended up using a square plastic jar of apple juice as it is flat enough to store in the back of my garden tool box.

And that is way prettier than mine!!! Adam's wife is so lucky to have such a handy husband!!!

Watching a man make something so beautiful for the woman he loves so dearly is one of the most beautiful things in this life. Thank you for sharing this.

A lovely present. When you were inscribing it, I thought, “Oh. That’s kind of personal. I don’t think he’d want to share that.”
No surprise, that you didn’t. Classy. Good respect for boundaries.

So glad to have a way to directly support your work. Wishing you well on this new chapter.

Adam is the only person who can make it interesting to make a watering can.

It's nice to see you put so much of yourself in to something for your wife. it's not the item that's important it's the time, effort, and love of makinging it that's the real gift. I hope she loved it.
