A Story About Jamie's Beret

Intro bumper by Abe Dieckman

Thanks for watching!

Somewhere out there I'll bet there's a MythBusters producer yelling at his screen, "It was NOT easy to get explosives!"

[rsalbreiter]

I would bet if Jamie just said to Adam, "I really just want to keep it, it's important to me" Adam would have let him have it without a fight

[MorRobots]

"The Alameda County bomb squad is one of the most experienced bomb squads in the world because of the 15 years of crap Mythbusters threw at them" I loudly laughed out loud at that one

[EyesOfTheInternet]

We know Adam and Jamie are not "buddies" but you can see the respect Adam holds for Jamie.

[DenisRyan]

Whenever I hear Jamie laugh on Mythbusters, I can't help but laugh along with him. He has a wonderful laugh.

[motorvN]

Adam is such a fantastic storyteller. He could describe how he ties his shoes and it would be thoughtful and entertaining.

With airbrushing miniatures, I've always advocated for practicing your aim with the primer. You're going to cover the whole thing anyway, why not get some practice in at the same time, doesnt matter if you miss!

“Phhhthunk!” is one of my favourite onamatapaeia! It’s the grenade launcher noise from Terminator 2 for me 😜

[Nathan_Talisien]

My best tip for those new to airbrushing:

You simply *CANNOT* be too thorough when cleaning it after use... The tiniest bit of old paint floating around in the system can be enough to throw it out of whack.

[ElectroDFW]

That's actually great advice for starting any new technique: practice it on the cheap stuff!
And don't forget to document your process! Experience is valuable only if you learn from it. And the best way to learn from it is to review the record of your experiences.

[chrishartley]

His advice on the air brushing is spot on, also go to flea markets and look for model kits. I've got shelfs full of kits needing to be built that were $15 each.
So not afraid to mess those up.

[DrVenture]

The "cloning an army of Jamies" part turn into a strange cul-de-sac! 😂

[NoriMori]

I really love how you had a mutually beneficial arrangement with the bomb squad. You got free C4, they got valuable experience with weird bomb scenarios.

[DaxHamel]

Thank you Adam. I've heard you describe the relationship between you and Jamie as not friends and not even friendly but, clearly you have some love for the time and experiences you shared. That's beautiful.

For airbrush beginner, be prepared to fail. When I first started airbrushing, I intentionally did the hardest thing I knew to try. Which was airbrushing cheap acrylic craft paint. Dozens of clogs later and I was a master a tearing it down and cleaning it I also got really good at thinning paint to the right consistency.
After that, everything else was so easy to shoot.
I am by no means a master of the tool, but I am totally comfortable with it, and will grab it without a second thought when I think it will suit my needs.

It's been 25 years since I helped make an deer antler horn knife, I can still remember the smell. It was so bad my friends father used brake cleaner to cover it up so he could use his garage 2 days later. You need an outdoor location far away from your living quarters or a massive exhaust system in a work shop. If you ever had a cavity drilled out and caught a whiff of that smell, well it's that filling the room for days.

[SocksAndPuppets]

I'd say good advice for learning any new tools is to practice on something you don't care about ruining first, don't pull out something you've spent 20 hours on 40 steps on, and do something for the first time as step 41.

In the piano restoration industry, the favorite synthetic ivory is Elforyn Super Tusk. It's practically indistinguishable from the real thing. They sell it in a few different form factors.

[krisherrick]

It's wild that this treasure of a man said in that other video that he thought ADHD was "behind him" in his life... his perfectly meandering narrative structure is the language of my people!!!!

[DavidSanchez-bouv]

Been using an airbrush for 60 plus years. I advice is forget everything anyone tells you. Just go for it. If you fall in love with the process there is nothing you can’t do. I’ve had professionals ask how did I get a particular Effect using an airbrush. All I can say is I know my instrument and know what can be done. Practice patience are you friends.
