Adam Savage's One Day Builds: God of War's Leviathan Axe!

Adam makes the iconic Leviathan Axe from the God of War games as a Christmas gift for his nephew! Using straightforward reference of the in-game axe found online, Adam scratch builds this replica prop out of sintra PVC foamboard for the axehead and carves a real wood handle. Including the paint and wood stain finish, it's a true One Day Build that takes just one day to complete from start to finish!

There's "Cool Uncle" cool, then there's "My Star Wars, LOTR, Mythbusting uncle made me a 1-to-1 replica of a fantasy videogame battle axe" cool.

I hope when you handed it to him, you said, "Here, Boy..."

[ButtonPusher]

Having Adam Savage build you a weapon is just as good as having Brok make you one

[stupidthefish]

If there’s two things I know for certain about prop making it’s
1: Every machine wants to launch the part you’ve spent hours perfecting into a bin full of similar parts
2: If you lose something you will only ever find it as soon as you’ve replaced it

"Should take me about, uh, five hours."
Imagine being this skilled.

Every generation has their set of iconic heroes. Bob ross, Steve Irwin, Mr Rogers... wholesome individuals who just want to build people up. Adam Savage is one such icon. We love you <3

[jaKobus]

It really makes me happy knowing that Adam is just as weird and scatterbrained but brilliant in real life as he was on Mythbusters.

[HydraMods]

21:59 Moments like this are why we would never know if Adam finally lost his mind haha. Wonderful build as always!

“Nothing says Merry Christmas like a war axe!”

[WIImotionmasher]

This is one of the rare one-day-builds that seemed like it shouldve taken longer than a day and actually didnt somehow

30:17 "Damn that's looking good!" *Grabs me by the throat*

[jonnyive]

You stick your tongue out while you work just like my grandpa use to.
Thanks for the memory and a heart felt smile.

"Nothing Says Merry Christmas like a War Axe!"

That is the most Adam Savage thing I have ever heard

[JacobobMega]

I think my favorite part of ODBs are when adam draws something on white foam and then proceeds to show us something we can't see.
Just the right amount of enthusiasm.

[AverageMe]

It was uplifting to see the PURE JOY as he was working. We should all find something that brings that into our lives.

[John-vxfe]

How did I not know this existed before I did my wooden replica, watching someone else do it would had helped a whole lot. It looks like you ran into a similar issue I did with no really good high resolution images of the pommel runes. I opted to do a few inches of dragon scales. I used Ambrosia Maple for the head, and Cherry for the handle. The guy who received it as a going away gift loved it so it went well.

Adam brings the "cool uncle" onto a whole different level.

[BrianSantero]

Adam's excitement at thinking of using the "HEATGUNNNN!!! HEATGUN, HEATGUN!!!" is wholesome AF.

"this will take about 4 to 5 hours"
10 hours later:
"almost done now...."
