Adam Savage Surprised By Indiana Jones Prop Details!

I like the back and forth with this guy, you can tell he isn't just there as a mouthpiece for the video, really enjoy that he feels comfortable to ask Adam questions to further his own knowledge of what he doesn't know! Just nice to see :)

For those trying to find the angels —- look at where the wing connects to the body , just below the bird’s neck. There is a small ball (angel’s head) and a gently curved piece that has a slightly different pattern than the rest of the feathers (angel’ wing). The angels are in a kneeling position, facing away from each other, angled about 45 degrees to perpendicular. There is one on each of the bird’s wings. ADDED NOTE — At 6:54 a finger (Adam’s?), moves back and forth over the medallion for several seconds. It is following the wing of the angel on the right side. It obviously wasn’t filmed during the discussion shown in the video since there isn’t a white cotton glove.

What I love about these prop store videos is how much Brendan clearly respects Adam's expertise. He's always so eager to learn details he might not have known about a prop that Adam has picked up on. It's so wonderful to see.

Someone mentioned in an earlier video that he called a prop "a holy grail" ... Fun to see him finally get to the actual holy grail stuff😂

I love seeing Adam's gears turning, thinking how he's going to modify his props to match these, like swapping out new pages into his grail diary.

I got freaked out for a second, I thought "Adam's tattoo is partially gone! Did he have a sanding accident?!" Then I quickly remembered the episode with the temporary tattoo lol

"Laid paper" has chain lines, they're faintly visible as a background on the page. It is rag paper, made from cloth scraps, not wood pulp. It was the only kind of paper that existed till the mid- late 19th century. It definitely holds up better to handling and age than "normal" paper made of wood pulp - as it would have for Henry Jones, Sr.

I was working at Keir Lusby Props when Stephen Lane and the Indie collectors were visiting. Keir and his wife Louise and their crew had made some amazing things over the forty odd years they’d been around - truly one of the names in the U.K. prop making industry. It was a real one-stop-shop, with many skills in many disciplines all under one roof. One of their last big jobs was the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie, with the Aztec medallion and Jack’s compass being two of their contributions.Sadly the company closed around 2010 when the couple retired, and the crew went their separate ways. Keir turned 80 just the other day! Happy Birthday mate!

Notice how Adam explains things and Brandon asks "What does that mean?" Shows that Adam actually knows how those things are being made. He is a craftsman while Alinger is more of a collector, a businessman.

Awww... No love for the chilled monkey brains?!?!? ,-) Great episode.... I could watch Indy stuff for hours and hours and hours!!

Adam: "Ooh. Here's something I haven't seen before!" Also Adam: Surreptitiously activates high-res spy camera built into eyeglasses...

My favorite prop is the Staff of Ra that proves Harrison Ford if four feet tall. Six Kadams high is said to be 72 inches (six feet), but "remove one Kadam" makes it five feet. Yet when in the map room, the staff towers over Indy by a foot, thus making Harrison Ford only four-feet tall!

Appreciate that it was specifically mentioned for the "holy grail" prop that is the "holy grail of holy grail" props, with people coming out of the woodwork claiming to have the "holy grail" that turns out to be fake.

These two need their own show where they travel around and look at props.

My favorite Tested videos are when Adam goes to The Prop Store. Adam's like a kid on Christmas morning looking at all his new toys! 100% certain that he's taking super high res photos of every one of these props for his own builds, LOL!

I never saw the angels on the amulet, why didn't they show what they were talking about instead of assuming we all could see it when we can't?

“We had to reject several other Holy Grails” Well yeah, we’ve seen how that plays out. That would be dangerous to let out into the world.

Probably the 10th time that day that Adam asked Brendan how he is and great to know he's still good. :) (and spoken with the same enthusiasm as the first time Adam asked).

Hands up, who had John Williams' "Map Room" score in their heads when Adam held up the staff headpiece?

Damn… Amazing stuff. Sadly the Chilled Monkey Brains prop wasn’t even mentioned. I would have loved to get a closer look at it.
