Adam Savage from "Mythbusters" puts his creative skills to the test by taking on bigger, badder creations in "Savage Builds." Each episode focuses on one project, as experts, friends, colleagues and people he admires join Adam to help him complete a project. It doesn't matter whether or not the project is a success or a failure, but it does focus on all of the collaboration that went into making it possible. Adam focuses on attempting to solve what he says are "really absurd ideas that I've had in my head for a long time" with some of the most brilliant minds out there.
