At the beginning of lockdown, one of Adam's first infrastructure projects was building a storage rack for his collection of staplers and nailers. That storage system gets completed today with custom organizer and sorter for 31 different types of staples that Adam keeps in rotation. This slot and tab build is one of Adam's favorite types of assemblies, and it's capped off with some very satisfying labeling!

With his new Sailrite LSZ-1 sewing machine set up in the shop, Adam breaks it in with a quick weekend build: sewing a new chair cover for an old chair frame. It's a very approachable type of a project involving transferring the pattern of the old chair cover to a new sturdier and weatherproof material, which the Sailrite sews with ease. The power of this sewing machine makes Adam so excited for its use for future projects!

With Adam's replica of the Hellboy Samaritan prop mostly completed, Adam turns his attention to replicating the large bullet props that would go in the chamber. It's a machining exercise that calls upon the use of a custom profile tool to shape the aluminum, and then pair with a brass casing--all made on the lathe. As a finishing touch, Adam sends his pieces to collaborator Victor Broadley, who uses an amazing vintage toolmaker's mill to etch the proper labeling to match these props in the Hellboy universe!

For Halloween this year, Adam and his wife decided to cosplay together as Chewbacca and Han Solo! And to make Adam's Han Solo costume work for Mrs. Dontrythis, he embarks on making a new holster belt from scratch. It's Adam's favorite film holster, and he transfers his familiarity with the original to leatherworking and machining the accessories and greeblies of this iconic piece of Star Wars costuming!

This week's build is actually a how-to project! Adam's had the idea for making a wooden sword out of just five dollars of materials since his theater shop days, and shows you the step by step process of building this inexpensive but satisfying prop. It's a build that can be done with any combination of materials, tools, and adhesives, and makes use of some of Adam's favorite propmaking techniques!

Today's build is all about the humble Apple Box, the ubiquitous piece of production gear found on almost every television and film set. Adam shares some of the lessons he's learned from his decades of experience working on production sets, and walks through the step by step process of making a standard 20x12x8" apple box from scratch. This is the kind of project that makes a wonderful gift for the aspiring filmmaker in your life!

Adam is smitten by Sideshow Collectible's life-size replica of The Child (aka Baby Yoda), and makes the figure even more awesome by modifying it to add posable arms and applying more weathering to the cloak! Follow along this deconstruction of collectible manufacturing and paint application. This project also allows Adam to test Iwata's dual action airbrush, which has been highly recommended in the effects shops we've visited!

Even though Adam's build of the Hellboy Samaritan prop replica is yet to be completed, the project is at a point where he wants to properly store and display the piece in a carrying case appropriate to the universe of Hellboy. We know how much Adam loves making in-universe boxes, and the Samaritan goes through this rite of passage as Adam paints, weathers, and creates a stenciled logo for the case that his Samaritan will live in between upgrades and additional work!

The next stage of Adam's Hellboy Samaritan replica build is to make an accessory...for the accessories! To showcase the handcrafted prop rounds that were recently machined, Adam turns to making a leather bandolier belt of his own design, though inspired by a licensed replica of the movie prop belt. Time to break out Adam's beautiful leatherworking toolkit and make use of a new tool: the leather strap cutter. Plus, Adam gets to weathering and tarnishing the brass shells with a tried and true aging technique!

Time to make a laser sword hilt! Adam takes a cylinder of aluminum stock and walks us through how he machined his first replica of Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. In the spirit of revisiting his early propmaking efforts, Adam only uses one found photo for reference and explains how to extrapolate details from an image to usable measurements for propmaking. It's a build that goes through some unexpected turns, and ends up being a different One Day Build journey than Adam intended!

For Halloween this year, Adam needed a bowcaster replica for his Chewbacca costume, so it was time to put this prop together using parts and pieces he had sourced and uncovered over the years of researching this prop. It's a comfort build Adam originally intended to do just for himself, so its accuracy to any specific film is less important than the experience of putting it together and using it for cosplay!

Today's One Day Build is a workshop infrastructure improvement, creating storage and organizational spaces for the numerous sticks that Adam uses in his every day building. These include things like tongue depressors, skewers, acid brushes, and swabs that are used for everything from mixing epoxy to holding up model kit parts to prime and paint. And like every other shop infrastructure build, it requires some introspection as to how Adam thinks about and uses these tools.

At this point of Adam's Hellboy Samaritan replica prop build, it's time to take stock of all the parts he's machined so far in an old fashioned teardown video! Adam's disassembly (and subsequent reassembly) of the Samaritan's over one hundred constituent pieces--requiring custom tools and careful organization--gives us a sense of the complexity of this build and the journey so far in making all of it from scratch. Oh yes, there will be knolling.

The latest update to Adam's Hellboy Samaritan replica project harkens back to his very first Tested One Day Build: constructing a bespoke carrying case for this prop and its accessories. Based on research gathered about vintage storage cases of this style, Adam shows his process of mapping out the parts dividers, laying out the individual storage sections, and lining them with beautiful green felt. Plus, the whole thing gets weathered with an airbrush pass at the end. Sit back and enjoy this relaxing build!

Adam digs up an incomplete Iron Man Mark I armor costume out of his shop's deep storage and gets to work building out this suit and getting wear at a future convention. This replica was nicely sculpted and cast, and is a great base for Adam's upgrades, including adding a light-up arc reactor and mechanized magneto generator prop in the back of the suit! It's a lot of fun scratch building and kitbashing of parts to make it look like something Tony Stark would've made in the film! (Stick to the end for a bonus mini-build too!)

Chewbacca isn't just Adam's favorite Star Wars alien, but it's also one of his favorite costumes to wear at conventions and for Halloween. After over 10 years of wearing this Chewbacca costume, Adam begins the process of updating and rebuilding its parts, starting with Chewie's feet. It's a process to foam sculpting that brings out Adam's hot wire cutter, his favorite high-strength tape, and a lot of hot glue. And after the feet are fabricated, it's time to give Chewie a weathering pedicure!

Adam's back with more projects with Boston Dynamics' Spot robot! In this One Day Build, Adam explores changes to Spot's physical form by building a variety of cardboard mounts and attachments to morph its silhouette and change how we perceive the robot's personality. From extended neck attachments to toddler shoes worn over its rubber feet, Adam tests how little shifts in appearance dramatically change Spot's character!

Continuing his work on his Iron Man Mark I armor costume, Adam turns his focus to the helmet. The helmet that came with the costume is painted resin, but needs a new paint metallic paint job for better screen accuracy. It's a multi-stage application to give it a brilliant chrome finish which is then taken down with some oil paint weathering. Adam also builds out the inside of the helmet to line it with leather and make it not only wearable, but also functional with a flip-up face visor!

It's finally time for Adam to rebuild his workshop's electronics tool cart--a project he's put off all year. But starting with his soldering station he built earlier this year, Adam reassembles the cart to carry only the essential electronics gear and materials he knows he'll use most in his projects. It's tool reorganization as both therapy and a step toward efficiency--and highly satisfying on both counts!
