0:02:17 One of the things I most enjoy is watching/listening to you talk to other professionals about their work. Be it other makers, the MET, Shipbuilders etc it's really fascinating hearing their experiences with their work. However, I have noticed that some seem shy or reticent when answering questions. Do you find it hard to draw the individual out of themselves and open up about the subject of do you find those kinds of interviews quite natural? It seems like at times you need to fish a bit to get them feeling relaxed enough to chat. Thanks very much!
0:09:37 When you're a huge fan of something, how do you deal with the more toxic areas of the fandom that come along with it? For example, back in the Mythbusters forum days, there was a vocal minority of people who hated everything Kari Byron did just because she was a woman.
0:12:44 ​​Just sanding in the workshop today and wonder what Adam’s organizational philosophy on smoothing abrasives? Organization of your sandpaper and when you retire that one piece that is just holding on :)
0:19:04 Do you ever have flair ups from long term injuries or conditions like tendinitis or things as such? If so what is you preferred methodology to helping re regulate yourself. I know always take care of one self, but how do you determine when it's better to push through than to rest?
0:25:01 Now that you've had some time with shop v 2.0, has it been the improvement you hoped it would be?
0:27:51 Are you having separation anxiety from all the props you used to keep in the 2.0 area?
0:29:11 What was the most memorable interaction you had with one of the neighbors of M5 during the production of Mythbusters?
0:37:52 What does it feel like to be your own brand? You made Savage into an amazing enterprise spanning material sales, web projects and marketing for shows and conferences
0:47:17 I have a question on your opinion of what qualifies someone as an engineer. Is there specific degree requirements, or is it more like an artist where it's more defined by a mentality/method?
0:51:47 Do you ever recycle the metal swarf? Also, what happens to the blue shop rags ? Do they get cleaned and reused? Thrown away, or burned?
0:53:24 ADAM circles back to the engineer question from earlier
0:55:25 Have you ever had to work out of your vehicle on jobs? What’s the best way to stay organized on jobs that you can’t complete in your shop?
1:00:52 Have you ever poured a concrete slab? (answered during closing)
