One of the ways Adam has been getting through lockdown has been binging television shows, including Netflix's The Crown. And in the midst of his obsession with the show, Adam builds his own replica of the most important piece of The Crown Jewels: St Edward's Crown used for the coronation of British Monarch. Adam's replica is based on the stage prop made for the Hamilton musical, and will be the centerpiece for his King George costume!

FUN FACTS !! If you didn't know why the velvet is purple in the middle is because The color purple was the hardest color to make way back then! FUN FACTS
Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, why don't you get trifocal glasses? I've used them for 30 years. They stop the peek over and remove to see actions. And yes, even in strong Rx's.
heya adam, is that an american giant hoodie?
Here is a video of hampton court, they show how they make a replica crown of Henry VIII. It shows the old ways of making the crown and the placing of the decorations. You can find it with: making the Henry VIII crown.
You should give it to Donald Trump. Guaranteed he'll wear it and not get the joke.
LOL he gets the shade and wears it on his forehead the entire time he uses the oxy torch.
Adam stole Cruella DeVil's scarf
You can use Potassium alum to make your pickle: dissolve some on water and heat it using a small cheap slow cooker on low. It's cheap, and way easier - and safer - than handling acids.
as someone with a very real phobia of realistic mannequinns, the 39:00 minute mark was not a fun experience to sit through XD
So damn awesome - as always! Can't describe how much your videos helping me not to lose my mind during the whole covid thing. I havent left my house since march 2020 because I'm high-risk-person..... nevermind! Love your videos and you
Is it from The Crown or Hamilton??
Adam's lessons about crimes and hiding them has been so useful to me in my endeavors. it sounds simple but it bears to be repeated
wow
Subtitulo en español
4:45 Adam’s hair giving off mad scientist vibes 🤣🤣🤣
*laughs with kingly hysteria*
The bit of dotted scarf at the front of the crown has two black dots *precisely* where the upper corners of your glasses are. If you wear the crown the right way it entirely blends together with your glasses and you look like you have the most spectacular eyebrows. 1:09:48 is one such moment. ;)
effin' awesome work man 👍
Has Adam done a tool tip for favorite hot glue guns, hgg glues and applications? There were a few tidbits here but something comprehensive would be great.
"Megan thee stallion here"
I love that he uses a tablesaw to create multiple paper strips
Adam: *Pulls out big gas canister thingy* Us: Adam... Adam: *Makes it spark* Us: ADAM... Adam: HAHA, MAD SCIENTIST FIRE! Us: ADAM NO, PUT IT DOWN.
Is there a reason you don't run CC on your videos?
I love watching Adam work, his as untidy as I am when I work on any thing, can see why Jamie use to get grumpy with you lol. Love the videos
13:15 There was a disturbance in the Matrix.
35:06 me waiting outside for aliens to abduct me
1:07:30 heh. Ahead
Seeing all that crunchy dirty brass made the inner Freddy Krueger glove nerd in me squeal. It would be awesome to see Adam make his own glove
He laughs exactly like my uncle. So authentic and hearty. Absolutely beautiful crown!! I love it, amazing job. 😍👑💖
The US is a constitutional republic not a democracy why is everyone so united is pushing this message like something straight out of a Ministry of Truth torture chamber NO war does not equal peace, and it never will. Furthermore it's not bizzaro at all seeing how nobody seems to want to talk about the time in 1971 when the weatherman underground a radical LEFTIST group BOMBED the very same capitol along with the pentagon and numerous police stations, you remember when Bill Clinton pardoned the leader of that group Bill Ayers don't you. So please spare me the pearl clutching when you clearly don't care one wit about the time bombs were set off in those 'sacred' buildings or when the very bombers duly convicted by judicial process were allowed to walk free.
The way Adam starts his drill while putting the drill bit in terrifies me everytime
I just wanted to see Adam wearing the crown...
He got so fired up about handing theater props to tiny people
"Heavy is the head that wears the crown..." doesn't JUST refer to the weight of responsibility carried by a Royal head.
36:17 Is that marker on the back of his head?
13:15 is he real?
Adam love your shows. America is not a democracy America is a republic to Wich it stands one nation under God for liberty and justice for All.
It's so sad to me, that you support a monopoly, and even promote it like that.
Does it matter that George III never wore the St. Edward's Crown?
I guess when they say "Heavy is the head that wears the crown" they mean it both figuratively and literally.
he said "lets not get ahead of ourselves" because he already had a head of himself to model with
Every theater prop-master is nodding and saying amen? Give us escape room guys some credit! Our props have to go through more abuse than anybody's! Theater and film guys, feel free to speak up when some 280-pound ex-marine starts ripping picture frames off the wall, drywall anchors and all.
Watching Adam literally jump up and down in joy before making something is just so pure and wonderful.
1:07:50 "Put it in a little box!" The guy who decides packaging by Jimmy Reese :D
Billie Eilish: You should see me in a crown. Adam: Hey now, there's an idea!
zonked
I can only imagin you sitting in your livingroom watching the news with your crown on thinking "...Maybe I'm the chosen one"
The real reason Adam is making this crown is for a coup to declare himself the true heir of Emperor Norton the 1st, Emperor of the United States of America and Protector of Mexico.
"We're gonna use it in our royal thing" I probably woke my neighbours laughing 🤣
Seeing that purple and green together reminded me of Barney haha.
There is an interview with the Queen where she talks about how heavy the actual Crown is and she mentions how she avoids wearing it because of how heavy it is.
"Lest's not get a head of ourself..." Génius.
That crown was built in 1661. Way before the industrial revolution and even further before the idea of standardized parts. It is probably very jank in its construction as are a lot of things from that time period.
".. take a coat hanger wire .." Unfortunately, those days are nearly over. It's difficult to find hangers that aren't plastic now.
Adam Savage and Hank Green, same energy.
1:07:26 "let's not get ahead of ourselves" he said, while holding a head of himself...
What is the black & blue thing on the floor behind you?
Did the matrix just glitch, or did we move through timelines? >.> fiworld.info/goon/nInbs33OzWdmbXA/videot.html
Not sure why Adam didn't bend 1 "arm" to be the right height and curve before attaching it. And then use it as a template for the other 3 so they are all the same, instead of attaching all and trying to bend all 4 by eye.
Have you ever given any thought to the fact that that face on your head mold is the exact face you will be making in your coffin? I dont know why i thought of that! maybe I was thinking about my best friend that died and how his face looked like he was just tired like how you look when you wake up from a nap. So just a strange fact i guess you have a face mold of what your face will look like when you die!
So is this your crowning achievement Adam?
Could you imagine being a kid at school and you come home to say that you're in the school play and your dad is Adam Savage?
Faith that a project will look good in the end, even when it's going through the early ugly stages, is something that I still struggle with. I can completely relate to the glee when things start looking like they should. (Imagine the stress the poor medieval craftsperson must've been under though, doing this in gold with no power tools...)
33:35 Now THAT's a proper 6-year-old 1955 sci-fi Halloween costume.
I really like the editor's choice of putting Adam's occasional words over the time-lapse footage. I can get a little exhausted by the time-lapse-music, it gets pretty repetitive when used for too long. I like the time-lapse segments to BE long, it's just that the instrumental JinglePunks music doesn't always hold up after 30 solid seconds just by itself. So the talking-bits put over top is EXCELLENT!
That is a crown
To paraphrase Terry Pratchett: Taint what a crown looks like, It's what a crown be.
Seeing how absolutely all over the place Adam is, gives me hope for myself LOL
Somehow Adam with welding goggles on his head eyeballing sheet metal into a crown shape is a crazier image than other builds.. like it's a really on the fly forgery attempt.
So much hands on rough metal edges forcing and pushing things edge-on - each of his fingers must be one giant callus.
"I wanna use the sparkly ones." Same, every time I craft.
Have you ever check your DNA!!!!!!!
I just love watching Adams mind at work. Absolutely fascinating and incredible
Ah, so I'm not the only person on the planet that has a pail full of desiccant packs. Oh, and the faux dalmation stole Cruella de Ville cosplay / halloween pics in the amazon ratings....PRICELESS.
Jesus that’s MASSIVE !! 😂👍
so next time someone sees Adam with a green band on his forehead, they will know he wore the crown to bed last night. 🤣👍👍
I feel the theatre prop pain for sure. I once had an actor come back to me and say a door hinge broke. Turns out they had somehow sheared the pin inside the hinge. I still have no idea how they did it.
Heavy is the box that displays the crown??? Or must advanced intelligence be present to give it weight??!
Those jewels could be pimped up with sparkling or pearlescent etc nail polish?
I’d love some up close pictures of this build. I absolutely love it.
This is the greatest thing he’s ever made in my opinion. I love the British royal family and they jewelry that goes along with them. I can’t wait for him to make the “sturdier” version. His words not mine.
So I’m at 1:07:46, has there been another crown in the background the whole time. (Context: on the table over his right shoulder on the left hand side of the screen)
Felix colgrave’s “double king”brilliant animation comes to mind.
Adam was busy building this on January 6th.... Absolutely mind blown...
35:06 Adam protects himself from Alien Transmissions
1 hour build - heavy head base.
Making a Grand Crown at the time of Crown (COVID-19)! I Love it!
50% of Adam's videos are just him running around the shop....
@31:10 Straightening metal - the old blacksmiths trick, taught to me by masters in the Blacksmiths Guild of the Potomac, when there wasn’t anything else to do, was to have the apprentices square off all the old round stock, and round off all the square stock. They would learn how to square and round off and otherwise work the metal, and you could see how good they were at doing it.
12:29 "Here look at the cross-section" *Holds it too high above the camera so its out of frame* ohhhh Adam xD
@22:45 Today I Learned: Adam has a proper blacksmiths anvil! With the Pritchel hole and Hardy hole both still in good shape, a cut-off shoulder that looks good, and the Farriers horn still pretty clean. And he’s using the Farriers horn for shaping metal in what appears to be the correct way!
@15:30 Adam finally decides to break out the Oxy-Acetaline gear.... 👍
Would the plural of “fleur de lis” not be “fleurs de lis” (still pronounced the same, at least in French...), kind of like governors general?
Watching This is akin to observing a Neurotic Squirrel with a trend toward OCD, who also happens to be a remarkably talented artist and builder. Once you begin to watch , you are mesmerized and cant stop looking .Awesome crown.
As he's doing the bending for the top curved pieces it's making me think of what the Crown would look like post nuclear blast.
ADAM! Why didn't you sing, "You'll Be Back"?
If you try and bring back Bedazzled jeans I’m cancelling my membership. Just sayin’. 😘
I have to say this Adam and everyone! I'm always inspired to continue my builds and creating because of the energy and creativity on this channel. Now in specific, Adam, you have given me the idea to build my own crown because, as you said, everyone should have one!
My wife just asked in genuine horror “Did he just open that bag of jewels with his fabric scissors?!?!?!” 1:00:01 in. Did he?!?!
For some reason I think Winston needs a small version of the crown
fiworld.info/goon/nInbs33OzWdmbXA/videot.html Adam hit the plane off camera! 8)
This title confused me.
I notice Simone is not listed under the members of Tested anymore. Is she no longer with the Tested team?
Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, why don't you get trifocal glasses? I've used them for 30 years. They stop the peek over and remove to see actions. And yes, even in strong Rx's.
