Adam Savage’s Tested

Hellboy's Samaritan Prop, Part 4! (2020x66)

Air date: Nov 04, 2020

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!
