TL;DR
Adam Savage spent nearly two years gutting an Emeco Navy chair—an iconic, welded-aluminum seat designed for WWII battleships—by drilling thousands of precision holes to see just how feather-light he could make it. What started as a fun shop experiment quickly morphed into a hair-pulling lesson in layout, tooling and sheer patience.
In the end, Savage’s journey shows that even the simplest piece of furniture can turn into a major engineering challenge when you decide to strip it down to its bare essentials—and maybe learn a thing or two about metalworking along the way.
