current favorite youtube channel

[Golden sunsets]

I enjoy, in no particular order:

Gone With The Wynns(sailing the world full time)

Sailing Uma(same as above, but the couple, who are DIYers, are very engaging)

Cruising the Cut(narrow boat canal cruising in the UK)

Foxes Afloat(same as above, very engaging commentary)

Numerous Keto Cooking channels.

 

[Go-NoGo]

I watch Destin who is an engineer and has a great channel called "Smarter everyday"
https://www.youtube.com/c/smartereveryday/videos

He explains the science behind things we use everyday and take for granted. And sometimes the not so common. To my knowledge he is the only YouTuber ever to be allowed to board a US nuclear submarine and spend some time in it and report on his experience. Oh and also on an F-16. Great stuff!

If you like WW2 history you should check out Mark Felton Productions on Youtube. He is a British historian who who comes up with some fascinating stories about WW2.

Agree on Tech Connections, he always seems to go a bit deeper, or into a side that I was unaware of. He really does his research.

I'll check out the Apollo Computer video more later, that looks good too.

I like Tech Connections also, he even made an interesting video on the color brown! I learned from the rice cooker video too.

For those that like computer stuff, this video is about an 18 year old that buys an IBM mainframe computer and moves it into his parents basement. Funny and interesting.

Here's my list of some favorite channels.


Tech Ingredients
Tech and science projects made with a guy having a Zen voice.

Joe Rogan
Wide Ranging interviews on all topics
https://www.youtube.com/c/joerogan/videos

EEVblog

https://www.youtube.com/c/EevblogDave/videos

Cody’s Lab
“I simply post videos of the (sometimes crazy) things that I do; this includes science, bees, and anything else that I am working on.”
Cody is all over the place, from playing with gallons of mercury to Making Charcoal, to his tree farm and more.

Applied Science
“interesting applications of science and technology. You'll see how an electron microscope was built in a home shop, how an X-ray backscatter system works, how to make aerogel, and many other hi-tech projects. Topics usually include electromechanical systems, chemistry, and electronics.”
https://www.youtube.com/c/AppliedScience/videos

DOVYDAS
He’s a one man band, with guitar, synth, electronic drum and quickly lays down tracks to play to. Very good!

Plays to crowds that make requests.
The external noise quiets (audience mic) at the one minute mark.

A couple of car sites: Cold War Motors features a guy in Alberta who rescues old cars that have been parked in a field for decades. He is a master bodyman who has a bunch of friends who also rescue old derelict cars. Their interaction is fun, and the restoration techniques are amazing. Also starring in the vids are a pair of standard poodles. The man daily-drives a 1949 Frazer and a Citroen DS!

South Main Auto: A professional mechanic from the Finger Lakes region takes on day-to-day auto repairs in the heart of the rust belt. Eric has plenty of personality, and his family and Brakekleen are co-stars.

There are a lot of youtube channels that I enjoy watching.

My favorite is "The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered", I have watched about one episode a day since the pandemic started.
https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHistoryGuyChannel/

The most recent channel I discovered and enjoy is https://www.youtube.com/c/PerkinsBuilderBrothers/
where I started to watch their playlist "Building A House Start To Finish" documenting a 1000 Sq foot house they are building in the mountains near Bryson City, NC.

If you are doing any home renovation, Jeff has some interesting videos on his channel:

If you like music.... here is a channel you may like. This is a cover band(club) from Australia that has many different musicians. They're darn good.

"History Guy" is good. He has a fun delivery and he keep his videos concise, like 15 minutes or so.

If you like the History Guy you should also check out Dr. Mark Felton. He is a British historian that makes incredibly entertaining videos. Some of the stories he produces about WW2 are stuff I have never heard of or seen elsewhere.

 

[Dreamer]

I am currently binge watching, Keep Your Daydream. It is about a family that goes full-time RV'ing. They change vehicles and RVs to try different one out.

I normally do not watch YouTube. However, someone (sorry, I can't remember who) on this site, stated they were watching it and I decided to give it a try. Thanks to this person, as I am really enjoying it.

His in-depth troubleshooting approach is a joy to watch. One example is, he can do a type of compression check by graphing/datalogging current draw at the battery vs crank position.

I actually bought a breadboard, resistors and a turn signal to walk my GF through an episode he did that ended up with an open (though it did short at some point in the past) wire inside an electronically actuated differential. Was a lot of fun showing her how he ended up being 99% sure what the issue was before he actually went into the differential and verified.

I am working my way through Dust now. It's sci-fi shorts; some really good; some not so much: https://watchdust.com/

 

[Birdie Num Nums]

Here's a new one I've recently subscribed to: "The Daily Doug"

It's not your standard YouTube "music reaction" channel. Because of Covid, this mid-40s classical composer/choir director from New Jersey lost his jobs teaching, so started this YouTube channel to "keep sane." He is learning about countless songs he really had not listened to before. I enjoy how he breaks down the structure, composition and lyrics of musical pieces from a professional musician's point-of-view. I find it fun.

 

[Surewhitey]

Bourbon moth for wood working. Good personality and interesting projects.

 

[ERObjd]

One day I saw a random you tube show where they resoled leather boots and shoes and then polished them and they looked like new..don't recall the name but it was in England somewhere. Very few cobblers around anymore.
Shoes and boots get tossed in trash even though some could be repaired and resolved as long as they have a Goodyear welt and a leather sole. Project farm and scotty Kilmar have you tube shows that are entertaining.project farms tests things and Kilmar repairs cars and trucks

 

[Time2]

I enjoyed this complete restoration of a pair of Florshiems.

 

[Brat]

Lots of information that goes over my head but just enough sticks to keep me in the know:

Then interviews at the IntlSpyMuseum:

 

[bloom2708]

Stacked Golf is my current favorite.

A couple goes to garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets and buys used golf clubs. They then play 3-4 holes with the clubs. Quite entertaining.

 

[ivinsfan]

Don't have a certain channel but one day I randomly stumbled across a whole category, called return pallets, from AMZ, Target, you name it. People buy them sight unseen open them on YT and try to make money selling them. It's pretty weird and kinda fun.

 

[Joncoynie]

I just watched several videos of project farm and I can say it is really interesting and useful.

 

[REWahoo]

11foot8.com

A guy living near a low clearance railroad underpass set up cameras to record trucks and RV's just a little too tall to make it safely underneath. He's been posting about one accident a month for more than 10 years...

 

[GrayHare]

Hydraulic Press Channel and Crazy Hydraulic Press. Both put objects in a machine press and crush them to see what happens. The former is run rather haphazardly, and seems like the guy will be killed by shrapnel eventually. The latter is more organized and often tests how well various tools hold up under pressure. Hint: the Chinese knockoffs fail first. I'd never have guessed what happens when one crushes a stack of paper. That's a favorite.
