Adam Savage spent almost two years transforming a classic Emeco 1006 Navy chair—originally built in WWII with welded aluminum—into an ultra-lightweight marvel by drilling thousands of precisely laid-out holes. What began as a simple weight-reduction experiment quickly morphed into a complex project, as the precise patterning and machining ops proved far trickier than he’d imagined.
Along the way, Savage documented every step in his Tested workshop, showcasing not just the chair’s history and design but also the trial-and-error that made this two-year build both challenging and endlessly fascinating.
