Adam Savage is Definitely one of my favorite persons ❤

[PedersonPantry]

I found this channel when I was initially laid off from my job when covid first hit back in March of 2020.

This channel was one of few things that I found that gave me joy during dark times. (Slight side note: I also found I had the time to go back and binge watch all the mythbusters episodes on Hulu during layoff)

After watching so many videos on making, it inspired my wife and I to start our own making side hustle creating gifts with a laser cutter!

Thank you to Adam for being the “face” of the channel, and to the entire team, without them there would be no channel to be a face of!

Thank you to Adam and the whole Tested team. I have appreciated this channel so much over the last couple of years. Adam's joy and enthusiasm has been a wonderful bright light when it has sometimes felt like the shadows were creeping too close. You all have inspired and educated me. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas/Holiday season.

Growing up, Discovery Channel was my favorite channel by far, and Mythbusters had a huge hand in that. I'm at middle age now, and unfortunately still around minimum wage level, otherwise I'd be happily sharing something through Patrreon or whatever. I just want to say, I REALLY appreciate your openness, and the way you share your passions with the world, in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination. You put your heart out there for everyone to see, continuously, and it is a beautiful thing. I love what you're doing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being you.

I've always admired Adams science and art creations, but I also admire him as a person. His drive at staying fascinated about stuff in this world is amazing. :D

I only discovered this channel this year and I cannot believe it's been going for over 10 years.
I enjoyed Mr. Savage enthusiasm of science and craftmaking from way back in Mythbusters and glad to see it has not aged one bit.
Thank you ALL at Tested for your wonderful work and hope you keep doing this amazing job for many, many years.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but Adam, I love how you love things! Your unabashed excitement at every detail of your passions, from minute to too big to fit in a building, generates excitement in me and other viewers regardless of whether I knew anything about it going in. I'm a viewer here as long as you want to continue making such passionate content.

[TomasDeMatteis]

I love this man, the shout out to his team at the end was so heartfelt I melted

[DA_Fuller]

This is my number one favorite channel on YouTube and it just keeps getting better and better. Thank you Adam and Tested.😊❤🎄

[ThatVideoGuyTom]

Your heartfelt emotion is a nice change and your fans appreciate you every single day.

[marklvanpelt]

I really appreciate the different camera views in this video. They gave me a different view of the cave. I have had a hard time grasping the space/layout and it all makes sense now

[michaelprinzi]

Adam, I wanted to tell you that one of the things I am most thankful for this year is you and your team @ TESTED. I consider myself a minor "jack of all trades". I know just enough to be dangerous at almost everything! You and your team has inspired me to try my hand at not just tinkering with things nut also FIXING and a little making of my own this year. THANK YOU! And please, keep up the great work you all do every day.

[photojunky]

Always look forward to this video! I’m thankful that you take your time to make so much amazing content with Tested and that you and your team mesh so well! It really shows through! Your videos through the year have helped me expand my capabilities in my own shop and allowed my team and I to get into things I didn’t know we could do. Can’t thank you enough!

[MediocreModeler]

Tested has changed he look and feel of making. You and your team have normalized making so that you don't feel like an outcast. And that every form of making should be accepted, praised and utilized. Thank you all for your encouragement, entertainment, sharing your fears, failures and triumphs. I look forward to many more years with you all.

[JakeThomasCreative]

I'm so grateful for you Adam, this channel, and its contributors. Never in my wildest childhood dreams did I imagine that there would exist such an amazing maker community out there, much less a whole group of generous experts like Tested's contributors, and it wouldn't exist to the robust degree it does without you. Thank you all, very very much.

[TheMattwasherein]

I love this channel, Adam and everyone involved in tested. Of everything I watch and consume on YouTube tested still continues to be my favourite. I found this channel with adam's everyday carry 9 years ago and was so enthralled that there was a way to see more of my favourite myth buster. The one day builds taught me that I could make things and be a maker in my little corner of my own world. I built my shed when I bought my first home and everything within it is a testament to all these videos and stories. So many of the tools/knowledge have come from recommendations from everyone on tested. I cannot thankyou enough for all the content, the tips, the stories and the process of building.

For 2022, Tested was one of my favourite things as well. Thankyou everyone and keep on making :)

[nikonshooter]

I loved all the Favorite Stuff Videos this year. It’s something I look forward to every year.
Thank you 😊 Tested

Tested content has become one of the things I look forward to most every day and it has sparked so much inspiration in me that many of the objects I have built that I spend all day with only exist because of this channel. I can only hope I never have to see they day when the last video is uploaded to this channel. Thank you to Adam and the entire team for the hours of content you provide us all.

[psyrolz]

I found this channel a few months ago and Ive been binge watching Adam's, Laura's and Simone's videos ever since. You guys (even you in the comments) became such an integral part of my every day life in such short notice. It's amazing to be inspired every day like this. I cant build but, Im learning to draw stuff so... its something! Thank you for everything!
