Can you PLEASE make another one to put another death mask in, and call it a Non-Newtonian Container?
-
The 3D printed (plastic) mask should be made available in the museum for sight limited individuals.
-
I mean... Having an item you made in The Royal Society's collection is cool enough. That has to be thrilling. But for that item you make to be a container for an Isaac Newton object... That just takes the awesomenss to another level.
-
I love that I'm 30 and I still get just as excited to see Adam as I did when I was 10 +. Thanks for being you.
-
Adam having a piece stored forever holding something so amazing is one hell of an honor. Amazing job.
-
As an English man, a practitioner of science surrounding Newtonian physics, and above all...a long time fan of everything 'Savage', it really warms my heart to see how much love and attention went into building such a beautiful object.
-
I appreciate you filming and leaving in this final fitting, not just glazing over it like you built the perfect box
-
"The Building of My Box" would be an excellent title for Adam's next book.
-
Watching someone with your level of skill work through an unexpected issue is one of the most interesting and educational things I get to see. Thanks for including them.
-
In my travels I worked with Keith as the Royal Society and he is an amazing guy full of interesting stories. he is almost part of the archive himself.
-
Out of all the amazing things Adam has done and made, this may just be the part of his legacy to outlive everything else he's made. Incredible.
-
57:51 Adam feverishly runs, throws the toilet seat down, and commences with the good old number 2. 😂😂
-
I've been designing cardboard box templates for archival work for the past few months. With a 1.6 mm archival material it can withstand a least 200lbs evenly spread across the top ( we stood on it to test). its fascinating work.
-
I love that this is now an artifact in its own right. Its inexerably tied into the story of the death mask.
-
That lid closing makes a satisfying sound!
-
My favorite part of watching Adam is that I do my projects while he does his, and every time he pauses to think, I always believe my video froze. It captures the process of a creator so well.
-
Adam, thank you for showing your mistakes as well as how you recover from them. When you show that you, an experienced, gifted, and professional maker, has errors, it gives reassurance to those of us who aren't. I cannot tell you how sorry I was for you but how eager I was to watch the correction. Thanks for being here and showing us everything.
-
I am a professional archivist. You are spot on with your descriptions of how archival materials and methodologies play into long-term care/storage. We have to make or order custom enclosures quite regularly but I've never made one for something as cool as a death mask!
-
“Anyways, here’s wonder-wall.. the royalty free version” had me absolutely dead. Such an amazing project to work with such a major historical artifact!
