Adam Savage Builds a Rolling Cosplay Mirror Stand for His Workshop

Workshop Mirror Replacement

• 🛠️ He repurposes the base of his former safety cabinet to create a rolling stand for the new mirror.

Mirror Installation and Framing

• 📦 A new full-length mirror is unboxed, with Adam humorously noting the instruction manual's advice on self-esteem.
• 🪵 He decides to build a wooden frame for the mirror using a piece of poplar wood.
• ⚖️ To counteract the mirror's front-heaviness, he adds stainless steel from a previous project to the back for stability.

Integrated Storage Solutions

• 📌 Hooks are added to the back of the stand for hanging items.
• 📦 A small platform is built on top for additional storage, especially useful in earthquake-prone areas.

Cosplay and Workshop Utility

• ✨ The new rolling mirror stand provides a stable and functional way for Adam to check his appearance for cosplay.
• 💬 He reflects on how the mirror's absence for years meant he simply didn't get around to replacing it, highlighting the value of having a functional mirror in the workshop.

Freelance Model Maker Toolboxes

• 🖼️ He mentions a poster he drew of these toolboxes, which lists thousands of items, and announces they are now available for purchase, signed, at adamsavage.com.
