It's live stream time AGAIN, and this stream, Adam will be taking Tested member questions about anything and everything. Adam questions:
youtube.com/channel/UCiDJtJKMI...

00:00 Canon Powershot show and tell
0:06:48 It would have been Grant Imahara's birthday on the 23rd. Could Adam please share any stories about his early days on Mythbusters please
0:10:50 Has there been any sort of update to your adhesive tape storage? And how many different types of black cloth gaffers tape do you currently own? I'm at 7 different rolls now and none of them compare to the "polyken" roll my dad got back in the ‘60s.
0:12:01 How long do you sit with a shop infrastructure build or re-arranging of tools before you know if it is “right” or will work for you? I’ve recently re-arranged my shop space, but don’t know if it really works and feel like I should change back. I’ve been a YouTube patron for 5 years now. Thanks for all the memories and builds along the way.
0:17:27 do you know if your LOTR map is available anywhere as a jpg? I do leather maps and want to do a copy of it at some point
0:18:37 I was rewatching the Saw and Final Destination franchises for Halloween, and I noticed just how good they were for myths. Was there a reason you guys hardly did myths about horror movies?
0:20:27 On her podcast, Kari mentioned one particular producer from Mythbusters that always tried to stir up drama in pretty drastic ways. What was the most memorable thing a producer tried to get you to do?
0:23:09 Do you have any more builds planned for the pantograph mill? The tool build was neat!
0:26:39 How would Jamie react to seeing clips of you making jokes about him while he wasn’t around? Did he always get mad or did he always find it funny? Or a mix of both?
0:29:16 I’m 50. I may be going through a mid-life crisis but I sold my marketing business after 17 years as it was no longer fulfilling. I bought my first 3D printer (H2D) and started making prop replicas for my own pleasure. I love the process of learning new skills and working with different materials. I want to see if I can make this a living. I’m lucky in that I have a runway of around 2 years ahead of me before my money runs out. What tips and guidance can you give to start making this into a proper business, one that I enjoy? I’m not looking to make this a huge financial success, but one that allows me to enjoy my lifestyle.
0:37:22 Have you been frustrated by a client having a lower bar than your own for what looks “good enough”? As in you reached, say, 80% complete by your standards on a fully-paid build with sufficient time remaining, but the client abruptly abbreviated your process with a “good enough”? If so, did it nag at you, wanting to fully finish even though you no longer needed to?
0:39:44 ​​just been update in my workshop , found a 5 draw cabinet that's totally changed my workshop for the good , have you every had an unexpected item to your shop infrastructure that you didn't know u need
0:42:26 Will we get a final video for the miniature vault build?
0:43:25 On the subject of swords. Do you have any advice on how to grind a fuller in an aluminium "blade" using regular shop tools, Dremels, files etc. Is it even viable?
0:48:54 For decades you’ve championed lowering the barrier for entry to creativity as much as possible (and a huge thank you for that). With the surge in generative AI, do you feel that the barrier can ever be too low? Is some effort or cost in acquiring at least basic skills, knowledge or tools perhaps necessary to impart a respect for your own work and that of others?
0:55:30 ​​How sturdy is your 99 percent invisible chair?
0:56:18 More response to @Oz.DeLorean's question from 00:48:54
0:57:11 You have been scanned a lot by various people, have you ever done a a scan using your phones Lidar
