Grandmother Esmerelda sure got that right. Onyx is a black gemstone, perfect for the man that, almost exclusively, dresses in black. Fantabulous video, Justin!!! Enjoyed this immensely.
Oh My Gosh!!! I grew up in Albuquerque and have been to TinkerTown MANY times. I love this place. Thanks for sharing my childhood memory with me here!!
Seeing Bob Ross was such a free-spirited and loved all sorts of art he would have loved a place like this with so much creativity coming out of every nook and cranny in the place. All that creativity out of one person is flat out amazing. You may not think you're as creative but you are. You search out places like this to showcase here for everyone to see on your channel. Then it inspires others to go and visit and explore those exact places which keep them alive and thriving. As you can tell I love Bob Ross's work and I think he would like the work you do bring places like this to the forefront and be noticed. Keep it up good sir!
Cool! I grew up not too far from Tinkertown in the Sandia Mts and it was a frequent childhood excursion for me..nice to see it appreciated on your most excellent vlog!
I'm such a sucker for a good diorama!!! We used to build them out of shoe boxes and plastic wrap and enter them at the LA county fair! This place is beautiful! I gotta go hug my Mom today for teaching me to love all things miniature! She's a fellow tinker and has made things and painted things her whole life!
Thanks for visiting my neck of the woods here in the Ooooold West! Very near Tinkertown is a picnic area and you can drive up to the Sandia Crest Summit at over 10,000 ft. altitude. There are some other pretty cool places along the North 14 - Turquoise Trail. Have you been to Meow Wolf yet? There is Madrid which was the Wild Hogs set and Cerrillos where Young Guns was filmed and El Rancho de las Golondrinas which is a living history museum (which is very cool). Don't forget the singing highway (which some other video-guy totally missed). Hmm, maybe I need to start my own videos.
I'm only half way thru the video. I had to stop, comment and OMG try to absorb what I've seen so far. This place just boggles the mind! I'm sure I'll watch this MANY more times to take it all in! I absolutely LOVE stuff like this...
Lived in Albuquerque for a while and somehow never knew about this place! We found lots of other weird stuff around NM, but not this. Maybe it's tie to go back.
"There are not enough exclamations and adjectives in the English language. . ." I felt exactly the same way during our visit, and I coped by constantly punching my poor husband's arm as we encountered delight after overwhelming delight. Last July, we saw HUGE colonies of hummingbirds and hummingbird hawk moths around the parking lot area. The whole experience was mind-blowing, inspiring, touching, and fun, fun, fun.
Great job as usual. You remind me of a younger, modern Huell Howser. Your very talented at what you do. I will defiantly check that place out if I'm ever down there.
Greetings from Albuquerque! There is definitely tons of stuff to see at Tinkertown. I try to go a couple times a year there and each time I always see something I've never seen before...
You know if you think about it, artisans like Mr. Ward that settle along Route 66 and use their creativity to keep the Mother Road alive are sort of like TH-camrs. They work hard to make people happy, they have unconventional jobs that some people may not understand, and some are only known to a select few. Different kind of highway, same spirit.
Wow! For someone who builds scale models, I really appreciate all the work gone into those miniatures. How did he find the time to do all that? Simply amazing!! Hey, can you see me? You finished by saying what's on my shirt..."go home and..."
Just watched your journey to Tinkertown again. This is my number one favourite folk art roadside attraction I have ever been to. Love your coverage of this place. We always tell folks that stop here to check out your vlog on this place and your bit with Harley on Route 66.
Wow!! The animated woodcarvings displays reminds me of the Niblack collection from the Woodcarving Museum that used to be down in Custer, SD! Sadly, it's closed but man those moving dioramas are cool!
I've lived in Santa Fe most of my life and made it to Tinkertown for the first time earlier this year. You definantly need to get here and visit Meow Wolf.
If you're ever in the Ft. Myers/Naples area in south Florida, check out the bubble room on captiva island. It's a restaurant that was a house and is full of weird things like this
Wow! What an incredible place! If you ever come to New England, definitely check out the Shelburne Museum. They have a hand-carved miniature circus and a hand carved miniature circus parade that are very reminiscent of the models at Tinkertown. They have a collection of tiny dioramas that were made in the 1800s too. :-)
Wow !! Tinker town seems amazing !!! I’d love to go !! My mom and I were watching the Sunday morning show and there is a place in Pennsylvania called roadside America and it’s a huge miniature display of old times !! It’s amazing !! You should definitely go !! Thanks for making the best videos !! 💕
The next time I'm in that part of the country I think I'll surprise my wife by stopping here, maybe even have a small picnic on one of those cool benches.
This place is amazing. I didn't know this existed! What a bargain for this. Seems like there's something in every nook and cranny. May not be your cup of tea, but might be worth a stop for you one day, Goldfield, Nevada has some car art and it also has some interesting car art like Cadillac Ranch, called International Car Forest of the Last Church. It's like no church I've ever seen. Plus you might want to check out the Clown Motel before it closes down in Tonopah. (thats the rumor I've heard)
Awesome! Wow that’s A LOT of stuff! Overstimulating was what I was thinking a quarter into the video. 😳😃Really amazing what a creative mind can do... so sad he had Alzheimer’s!
I was watching your Route 66 trip from last year and discovered you went through my town of Braidwood, Illinois. The food at the Polka-dot is pretty good; but I don't think you would be able to eat any of it or the food at the newly bought Launching Pad in Wilmington sadly.
Grandmother Esmerelda sure got that right. Onyx is a black gemstone, perfect for the man that, almost exclusively, dresses in black. Fantabulous video, Justin!!! Enjoyed this immensely.
Of all the places you've shown us on your travels,Tinkertown is the most amazing and wonderful ...........by a million miles.

Great video! Thanks for the walk thru of Tinkertown, I will definitely visit this place if I'm ever in New Mexico
We go here 4 or 5 times a year... very cheap and amazing! Thanks for uploading!
Antique fortune teller i'm envious! 😀
Man, Walt would have LOVED this guy!
Great video. Seems like there is enough there for 10 trips. I may have never known about it if it wasn't for this video.

TOTALLY INSPIRED ME!!!

Thanks for bringing this to the public. I love Tinkertown. I use to go all the time.
The jump roping Emilly doll actually blew my mind! The things I get excited about... hahaha

Oh Justin now I REALLY have to visit that place. The miniature dioramas alone made my head explode.
All I can say is, "Thank you"!!! Amazing!!! You actually added to the attraction. Again, "thank you"
WHAT?!?! I've been there twice and never knew about the outside part. Thanks to your video i must go back and check it out.
Great Presentation Justin! Your joy and enthusiasm brought this place to life!!

Maybe someday you’ll own that place!
Actually you can use playing cards as tarot cards . Each set. Correncides with a set in the deck
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO TINKER TOWN!!!!
Your fun! I would love to go to tinker town.
I've been there several times while visiting my sister in Albuquerque.
Wow!
Onyx is a stone often used in jewelry
Awesome! Wow that’s A LOT of stuff! Overstimulating was what I was thinking a quarter into the video. 😳😃Really amazing what a creative mind can do... so sad he had Alzheimer’s!
That's awesome! by the way, onyx is a gemstone.
As soon as you mentioned his name I freaked out cause my last name is Ward lol!!!! Man i WISH i was related to him!!!!
I was watching your Route 66 trip from last year and discovered you went through my town of Braidwood, Illinois. The food at the Polka-dot is pretty good; but I don't think you would be able to eat any of it or the food at the newly bought Launching Pad in Wilmington sadly.
I'm inspired. I now what I'm doing for the rest of my life.
Funny, I kept thinking Bob Ross too!
Too much fun.
