Adam Savage answers two insightful questions from Tested members Duckinaroundscrap and kunger! First, he discusses how to stock and manage liquid consumables—from glues and epoxies to solvents—when working out of a small or home workshop, including tips on avoiding waste. Then he shares advice on professional boundaries, kill fees, and what to do when a client cancels a custom build project midway through. What would YOU do if your client killed your build before it was complete?
