Adam Savage and Vsauce's Michael Stevens Build a Kendama!

Adam is joined by Vsauce's Michael Stevens for a special One Day Build in the cave. Michael has recently taken up playing the Kendama, a Japanese cup and ball toy, and Adam helps make one from scratch that helps optimize his play. This build engrosses both into topics of machining, knot tying, and geometric conundrums.

Thanks for watching!

These two should have a show where they just take common myths and see whether or not they really hold up

[dogfooddevin]

This has big "Kid watches as Dad makes their school project" vibes and I'm here for it

[mortyrickerson]

I love how adam is like the wand maker from harry potter. He leaves for a second and pulls out and old wooden box for something specifically you want. Magical almost lol

[sketchum]

I love the fact that Michel is like a little kid that wondered into his dads workshop and is trying to understand everything

[wilmereneris]

I love how they are about to carve a sphere but then they get stuck talking about brittleness of swords.

I just spent an hour watching 2 guys build a toy you could buy online for $10. I have zero complaints.

The knowledge that Michael has and the knowledge that Adam has complement each other so well. Like they are always teaching each other new things

[farkoffcnt]

Adam is such a noble guy, not cocky or bragging one bit! I love how both Adam and Michael are both very smart people and know so much but yet their individual knowledge is very new to each other and they are both learning from eachother! I want to possess the same attitude they both have as I feel that will help me so much in my life

When your friend invites you to his house and you get to play with all his cool toys

[thyrsus]

I just watched two grown men making a toy for almost one hour.

[calebrobinson]

I love the 8-ball on the machine. The shop has so much personality

[Nucky]

The thing I’m most amazed about is how naturally Adam moves his hands around a giant metal spinning machine that could take a finger without slowing down. Pure hard work and practice is amazing.

[wizardbones]

I started watching this and got so lost into it without realizing it was an hour long

[lackjack]

"I'm really into asymmetry right now" is probably one of the nerdiest sentences I've ever heard

[spencervaughn]

Words Adam Savage has never said: “I don’t have that tool”

[thebanditterra]

Whenever he mentions Jamie I always get flashbacks to that glorious stache

[mattynadiacookiemonstermun]

I love how real this is, no background music or sounds needed.

"I'm really into asymmetry right now" ~Vsauce

[BimbusBucklenuts]

Just seeing Adam and Mike's brains whirring away and watching Adam in his natural habitat as he shows off his cool toys is way too much fun! I'm totally hooked on this. Please consider making more episodes like this. I beg you!

props to either the sound mixer or the lathe manufacturer for making the lathe sound so peaceful and quiet!
