To give you an idea of the type of content that I like to watch, here are some of my favorite channels:
Thanks.

Primitive Technology. Heard of this through lemmy. Pretty nice overall. No talking but you can follow along through the subtitles.
I’ve been a fan since the beginning! Thanks!
Also THUNK. Not necessarily that close to what is on your list but I like his takes on philosophical takes on a bunch of technical fields.
Thanks!
From our other interactions, I’m going to suggest:
Cracking the Cryptic … it can be oddly satisfying to watch them solve a puzzle.
Anton Petrov for space news.
If you’re not familiar with Sabine Hossenfelder, I’d be very surprised, but she’s great for wider physics.
Robert Reich is doing some great things these days. The Saturday Coffee Klatsch is a must-watch for me, even if it gets a little predictable.
Beau of the Fifth Column, whom I’m aware from an earlier post is not highly regarded, burned out, and his wife has continued the channel. Rarely more then 5 minutes, and there’s never footage, just the news and quality analysis.
I’m getting somewhat tired of Bryan Tyler Cohen’s clickbait bullshit, but his panelists can be helpful in unpacking news.
Hope these are somewhat helpful!
burned out, and his wife has continued the channel
Wow, that is surprising to hear. I bounced off him when I started seeing him just talking about stuff I’d already seen Twitter as though it was insider information, and prognosticating on things that were clearly outside his wheelhouse. I’ll check out the channel again and see how his wife is running it.
Burnout is real, and it shows up well ahead of when we think it does ourselves. I frankly find it impressive and respectable that he was like, “well, I’m not doing what I used to, and I don’t know how to get back there, so I have a single option.” And that his wife believed enough in the work to just pick it up where he left off.
Thank you for those!
Laura Kampf! Great series on restoring an old house in Germany and just lots of great maker content.
Nice! I’ll check it out.
I’m not looking at any of your recommendations so I have no idea if you would like this but I really enjoy twoodfrd, he makes videos about repairing guitars and other string instruments, very relaxing, soothing voice, and lots of fascinating info about guitars
That looks like it would interest me. Thanks!
Yes
Check out the Tally Ho restoration by Sampson boat co
I will! Thanks!
I had to come back and say thank you again. I’m starting episode 10 and I love this series. If there is any other YouTube content similar to this that you’d like to recommend, then please lay it on me.
Oh that’s awesome! Although the tone is slightly different Sail Life is a Danish guy doing a VERY thorough restoration on another sailboat Athena, so you might also enjoy it. He really grows on you
Thanks again! I’ll surely check it out.
Let me check how many subscriptions I have.
uuuh, 1,499 🫠
Based on Drew Builds Stuff:
- Stuff Made Here, applying high technology and robotics to low-stakes challenges.
- The Thought Emporium (Also on Nebula). One day, they’re artificially aging whiskey with ultrasound, the next, the host is editing his own genes to remove lactose intolerance.
Based on the intersection of building and the great outdoors:
- Quiet Nerd, who’s been building a lot of camping equipment lately.
Some shots in the dark, based on exploration and documenting the unseen:
- Exploring the Unbeaten Path, urban exploration with some unique locations.
- Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t, identifying plants.
Based on Baumgartner Restoration:
- Hand Tool Rescue, a channel where they lovingly restore antique tools and machines.
Thanks so much! These look great!
- Clickspring - gently narrated master craftsmanship, in this case watchmaking. His Antikythera Mechanism series is particularly awesome
- Adventurous Way - previously RVing content, now building a house in Vermont
Those look perfect. Thank you!
I really like Inheritance Machining and
One Big TonyThis Old TonyInheritance Machining looks great. I couldn’t find One Big Tony though. Thanks!
I’m guessing they meant This Old Tony
Yes that’s exactly what I meant, thanks. I dont know how I even got that wrong.
David Bull - Japanese Woodblock printing
That looks intriguing. Thanks!
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
I would also suggest DIY perks. I enjoyed his video on what to do with old and broken laptops.
Thanks but that link is what?
Apparently the wrong link. Editted now, sorry. Was the youtube playlist link.
Thanks!
