Adam Savage Mods His All-Aluminum Bowcaster Replica!
Переглядів 77,245
16 днів томуShortly after receiving his new all-aluminum bowcaster replica, Adam disassembles the entire prop to its constituent machined parts to begin the process of wrapping his head around its construction and the ways in which he can modify it. Here's a glimpse into the part of Adam's build projects that's more about exploration and discovery of ideas before the build becomes fully formed in his head.

Adam your mod was fantastic and thank you for the love and respect for the Bowcaster prop project I did. I’ll have one of the assembled Bowcasters weighted at the machine shop so we can see how much "guts" were taken out. Stay tuned.

Adam, when I was in the aircraft industry, I often worked on prototype parts and very often did what you are doing here - it was known as “adding lightness” 😊
@Drakith90 14 днів тому
Reminds me of a riddle: What can you add to a barrel to make it lighter that can be seen with the naked eye? A hole.
@user-eo2ow8mi4g 14 днів тому
I would refer to it as "Increasing Levity." It sounds better and it rolls more trippingly off the tongue. But that is neither here nor there. Another term for them is Lightning Holes, which are the holes in the airplane you get when it simply weighs too much and you fly into a Level Five Thunderstorm. I did that once, and frankly I don't recommend it.

@yobgodababua1862 10 днів тому
Adam: "Maybe a pound and a half, but I feel it!" You'll feel it a lot more after lugging it around for a day in a fur costume, for sure. Cosplay-replica and DIsplay-replica are related but subtly different things with different needs, for sure. I prefer the idea of "functional replica" that Adam also seems enamored with. "It's as screen matched as possible, but made as if it were an actual functional thing and not a hunk of rubber painted chrome."
@PearlJam2k6 14 днів тому
The thing i like the most is that it breaks down almost like an actual "rifle", especially the scope and trigger mechanism. You guys weight it before/after by any chance, just to see how much weight Mr. Savage has saved on it. It seems like a lot of hogging out actually helped on it to make it relatively lighter. Cant wait to see the rest of the build upgrades for the lights, base work and painting.
@theHardChargerVids 13 днів тому

Alternate title: Adam Savage voids another warranty 😉 Regarding the weight, riffing on what Han told Chewie, "I think Manny had Wookies in mind when he designed this thing." I'm guessing Wookies wouldn't mind the weight, especially with the recoil the bowcaster is supposed to have. Regardless, it must be nice to have the skills to confidently mod such a beautiful prop!

@user-eo2ow8mi4g 14 днів тому
This was extremely entertaining !! Thank you ! There were a couple things I noticed. First of all .. your primary goal was weight reduction. From looking at the Bowcaster, I agreed with you. But would have been good to have had a "Before" total weight and an "After" for comparison. Also a comment about the "Heft" and "Feel" would be good, both Before and After. The original workpiece I have to agree was Beautifully Done and what I liked about what you did was that you totally respected that original. It definitely deserves a great deal of respect ! Now take it out on the range and show us what you can do at a hundred yards or so !! I want to see how well it _works_, not just how good it _looks_. Because it looks .. well .. fantastic. -- Chuck
