Adam Savage's Maker Tour: Thinkery

Adam enters his own kind of heaven while touring the shop of Austin's Thinkery, where the staff not only makes this children museum's exhibits, but many of its fixtures as well.

Thanks for watching!

[@tuckmorton]

Loving these videos, also missing one day builds.

[@pedterson]

Check out Laura Kampf's channel. She has a marvelous build every week.

[@princeedmunddukeofedinburg]

Tucker Morton fuck you.

[@tuckmorton]

Thanks.

[@TheWargod56]

Jimmy Diresta, Core77inc, Frank Howarth there are so many great makers on KZbin

[@luckybookairvids]

Love! This place was a local field trip year after year growing up in Central Texas! The makers and fab-lab spaces I've viewed on your trips are pure inspiration. Keep it up Adam and the crew! The impact of this work will change the world.

[@Jan-mf9wt]

adam was like a little kid in a candy shop. touching everything he could.

[@Dfrantz87]

One of the best videos you guys have put out in a while!! More of these kind of videos!!!!!!! Now you have me wanting to go talk to my local child's museum to see if I can pick up some side work! I have two kids of my own and I think I'm going to start Proto typing some fun stuff for their bedrooms… Perks of having a full shop laser cutter and 3-D printer!!

[@LogicBob]

I really appreciate this series Adam! Thank you!

[@ChrisEllerby]

Love seeing their shop setup. And what a fun job! Great video.

[@katz4248]

Best shop tour so far. Great job Tested!

[@lutacos]

I'd sell my soul for a workshop like that tbh

[@DustyKorpse]

get together with like minded people, and make a maker space. share you skills, learn new ones. Don't think I don't have a facility/workshop near me, think where can I create a space like that. The only limits are that of vision. all the best :)

[@themadhacker9376]

i would sell your soul for that shop too >:)

[@EnlightenedSavage]

There might be one locally if look. I just discovered a wonderful place close to me . If not organize and get one started yourself. You'd be pleasantly surprised how many people in your area would also love to have a space as well.

[@scottwpilgrim]

@@themadhacker9376 Can I give you mine as collateral?

[@generalsamvods5661]

That kart with all those tools

[@bigneilh]

We visited this place when its first opened and my kids loved it. I loved it too! It was really a fun place to visit and very educational!

[@alwaysfallingshort]

Thank you guys so much for showing us stuff like this.

[@natedole8276]

I want to work here sooooooooo bad! EVERYTHING is sorted so perfectly.

[@phillipbishop3967]

Adam, watching you in this video segment, is akin to myself and my child going in to Home Depot. I truly love watching your show.

[@BadAl27722]

I get as excited as Adam watching the organization of tool and maker STUFF! :)

[@IanFiebigwi]

Such a cool place. Thanks for the tour!

[@MARZACpro]

Big fan, Adam. You have a great personality and style!

[@noahhesshaimer3750]

well he's Savage

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

I would love to see more of these "shop tours" and "museum tours" (and especially, of course, "museum shop tours".)

[@bradlycriswell1990]

Im a maintenance CTL operator. I wish i could hangout with adam and the crew for a week or two messing around in the shop! love these videos!!!

[@malcolmbeecher8378]

thanks for show us all these areas. where kids are working with their hands and imaginations

[@zanderinofilms]

Brilliant work all. 👍

[@MOAMindustries]

The EDC workshop at Scitech in Western Australia has one of the best exhibition workshops in the world. Their roving exhibits are constantly on tour throughout the world, translated into dozens of languages.

[@KapteinFruit]

These guys have the best job I've ever seen.

[@nicoausnrw]

this orga is so amazing

[@korhal2005]

Adam, I love your jacket. The buttons are so unique. Also, keep up the good work. :)

[@VFRSTREETFIGHTER]

Adam, you would love the shop in the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. They restore, maintain and show vintage locomotives, their shop is really cool.

[@randommisshaps7]

loved the tool setup.

[@samd6029]

nice video Adam keep doing what you are doing

[@CarSick]

Adam is such an organization nerd, I love it.

[@NickDanzinger]

PLEASE VISIT THE NORTH FORGE FABRICATION LAB IN WINNIPEG! We're the largest makerspace in Canada and almost completely volunteer run. We'd love to give you and the Tested team a tour and show off some of the cool stuff we've made.

[@saramoni4748]

THANK YOU. WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A SPACE HERE!

[@damond5552]

lol Adam is like I kid in a candy shop it's adorable! ^^

[@JohnniOstergaard]

I love this type of video :D

[@LeeroyJebkins]

I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who is THAT obsessed with organization.

[@warnerww83]

As always, Adam's enthusiasm is palpable and infectious. I'm a humanities teacher who doesn't know dick all about setting up a shop, but damn if I wasn't riveted to this video.

[@dpdennis1979]

Its nice to see someone else geek out about tools :-) watching Adam is like watching a kid in a candy store

[@sandwich2473]

Amazing.

[@rehpotsirhic]

omg, this looks like so much fun to work at. I need a job like this!!

[@ninjaholic]

I will never tire of Adam Savage's nerdgasms with workshops and tool armies (because that is a tool army, not a tool set)

[@jshaglr9]

Why does the organization of equipment making me happy

[@bearianna]

seeing adam geek out over the mythbusters- style organization system = ❤️+😂. just makes me so happy!

[@nab-rk4ob]

Adam: ooooh stuff to make stuff with mwah hah hah hah. Great episode!

[@sadiqmohamed681]

These maker space videos are great. Informative and fun. Keep up the good work Adam.

[@kimopuppy]

Watching Adam geek out priceless

[@tammastrongbear]

What a great shop. I would love to work there

[@86c5corvette]

Shop full of great tools Adam goes straight to the hardware storage that's what I like about him.

[@pablolobo6560]

Very enjoyable!! You need to do a more in depth tour of that shop and show some projects being developed.

[@TheDessertFaux]

I was totally thinking about that conduit 6:35 ... funny that Adam mentioned it. Haha

[@Studio23Media]

That shop is so incredibly beautiful. I don't know if I'd ever get anything done because I'd just sit there looking around at my shop and smiling.

[@llamafromspace]

Thoughtful questions. Good watch

[@TheEphemeris]

omg i pass this place just about every other day and had no idea this was all on the inside!!!!!

[@Dunkingsonn]

Adam's heaven on earth.

[@Cloxxki]

What to do with the world's surplus of 4 mm allen wrenches? A sculpture made from nothing but them?

[@mikeknight42]

Whoever made the magic house in St. Louis is a genius. Highly recommend it or anything locally comparable if you have squirts. Just an honarable mention to science centers, they are without a doubt changing with the times. They have travelling exhibits, and imax galore although I think they have a lot farther to go compared to childrens museums to stay relevant. They are kindof a one stop experience and need to include more science history imo.

[@morizon1337]

Wow that looks incredible awesome. I would love to take my child the ^^

[@jazzmosphericminim]

Waited 15 years for this Mythbusters/American Pickers crossover ... Hashtag Frank Fritz x.. hashed tag Tool Time

[@coolvidios24]

I like how whenever they talk about a child, it sounds like they are talking about an animal.

[@JodyGates]

I love the 2d pieces for layout design at 10:30

[@WMeTeNo]

anyone know what sport coat is Adam wearing? looks awesome and I need one

[@tobbiex]

Digge pretty ugly tbh

[@Weretyu7777]

Have you visited the Maker Space at Arizona State University's Tempe Campus yet, Adam? It's somewhat small, but it's a pretty cool space.

[@xxgo0nxxgoon470]

I totally Agree!!

[@blueblazeing94]

This is kind of the stuff I like.

[@electricsnut]

More 1 day builds please!

[@predatoru]

anyone know the name of the subreddit Adam talked about with the conduits? Sounds like a cool place to visit.

[@NiklasLundqvist]

predatoru www.reddit.com/r/conduitporn/

[@tilago]

Niklas Lundqvist quite fitting

[@kobeclips]

This was a great video but I just really want to know where Adam got that jacket...

[@zoewylde1452]

As a welder, I want this but as a metal shop. Absolutely perfect.

[@ArsenalAdamAce]

we want one day builds!

[@jpcguy89]

That's really funny...we just got a Makerspace in my town, and one of the first things I made with the laser cutter was a batarang :P

[@MrTitaniumBG]

What is used on the tool box drawers? I have a snap on 54" roll cab and it's annoying how when you open the drawers all of my spanners move, what is that foam on the base of the drawers??

[@brandondobson761]

I love that Adam is referring to Jamie a lot recently it's a nice reminder of the Mythbuster days.

[@MattMort]

6:40, wait. What's the subreddit for that?? I really want to see that!

[@LlNDEN]

I couldn't give this video enough thumbs up.

[@steve-175]

I always believe when building build from the inside out that way each room , set-up, layout is the way you want it then build the walls around it

[@McRambro]

wish we had places like this in the UK

[@kunalranjan28]

Lock me inside this workshop for Quarantine and I will definitely build a time machine by the time I come out, if I survive.

[@WMellema]

Hey Adam, if you really like this: When you are in or near the netherlands, try the NEMO Science Center in Amsterdam! Kind of the same sort of place, it justs exists a lot longer

[@themadhacker9376]

I hope he visits the Do Space in Omaha Nebraska. I like that place...it's neat

[@12skullleader]

Come to the one in oak ridge, tn. We have model railroading.

[@michaelwinter742]

I would love if the Thinkery would make up and celebrate a science outreach week at nearby Austin schools.

[@DowzerWTP72]

Anyone got a link to that "beautiful conduit arrangements" subreddit?

[@RobCartwright]

What a dream job that is.

[@vavassor]

I recently bought several rooms-worth of furniture I had to assemble. Now the proud owner of six M4 allen keys!

[@noahhesshaimer3750]

Love the leather Jacket

[@fyodorplays6094]

now that's savage

[@levithorstone2876]

Wish they had something like this when I was growing up inside of the sit down and shut up age

[@0meat]

I use milk crates and shelves. It can go on any wall area and hold a lot of stuff, and you can see into the milk crates well enough. I't a good, cheap solution for small shop organization.

[@Qardo]

Is it just me or does the audio seem to be disconnected at some points? Then, comes back together towards the end.

[@delkinthemagicaltree]

That tool cabinet is James May's dream :D

[@xl000]

You can tell Adam kinda would like to work again in a large shop like the one he worked in at M5 industries.

[@truegame142]

Was watching Adam savage videos as I saw this one uploaded, conveniently.

[@Frostfly]

I wish the workshop looked more like in use, rather then VERY OBVIOUSLY cleaned perfectly for Adam's Visit.

[@najee_eee]

Found the dream shop

[@davidsiklos889]

love the tom sachs reference

[@fivestander]

Really just came for the toolbox tour

That third guy was so useful. XD

[@Nilguiri]

I thought he would never shut up!

[@SirChunky]

well he did pick up the cardboard piece

[@pixiniarts]

Probably just an introvert, people need to be more tolerant and accepting towards introversion.

[@MrSpookersMcGeeThe1st]

Let's be honest, he's probably what most of us would be if we were there: third wheels with nothing useful to add.

[@treborrrrr]

That, and the other guy didn't exactly want to give up any air time.

[@littlebiglsteele4158]

*silently waiting for a one day build*

[@kosys5338]

The museum guys remind me of Penn and Teller, one guy does all the talking and the other doesn't say a word just smiles and nods.

[@bartp1212]

That would be my dream job 😯

[@garygsp3]

Man living in Austin Metro and being in maintenance I would love to work in that design shop. The only downfall would be the commute to work. Austin traffic is... not fun.

[@joelwakefield]

What jacket is Adam wearing its amazing! Anyone?..

[@Vidz0022]

just reminds me of high school wood shop....

[@imVexedBruh]

is jamie a part of tested at all? I see the little character that looks like him with his beret sometimes but never him in the videos?

[@Acecool]

If they haven't already, they should make miniatures of every display for sale in a gift-shop. Would bring in a decent amount of revenue... Buy your childs favorite exhibit that they can put on their wall.. collect them all... maybe even have kits for the older kids.
