  Sometimes I feel like “one day build” are not “builds made in one day” but rather it is Adam saying to himself “I will one day build this”, and the day it happens they record it lol

  Most people: &quot;I mismeasured. Guess I&apos;ll recut the pieces.&quot;<br>Adam: &quot;I mismeasured. Time to use ALL THE TOOLS.&quot;

  You could put batteries in the holes upside down once charged and + side up when uncharged rather than using one end for uncharged and one end for charged

  &quot;It&apos;s just not a thing, unless it has a label.&quot; This might just be my favorite Adam Savage quote ever.

  Adam: One of the most important questions you can ask yourself throughout a build is &quot;am I doing this wrong&quot;.<br>Also Adam: I didn&apos;t ask myself &quot;am I doing this wrong&quot;.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT8PzFaZ0Zw&amp;t=1500">25:00</a> A neat trick I learned for lining up nails/screws/drillbits when I&apos;m making blind holes through the backside of plywood into a narrow target is to sandwich some rare earth magnets on either side of the board and butt them up against the piece behind it, it gives a visual dotted line of where the edge of the hidden board is.

  Adam, you need to take one of your old single cell chargers, rip out the charging guts and connect the bases to a digital voltage readout, mount it all next to your chargers so you can quickly check voltages for your cells.
