the 8 bit guy, does some nice stuff with old computers
I don’t have any links to add but just want to say this is a superb idea for a thread.
Carry on, folks.
I just look up videos I see on TBD (“Animals Unscripted”, “Best Of The Week”, “Fail Factory”, etc.).
Eg,
Marc Felton - interesting War stuff
Curious Marc - Makes old stuff, repairs the complete Apollo computer
Curious Droid
Trent and Allie

Watching rerun of "What My Line". They go back to 1952, the year I was born. It's amazing the kinesope recordings survived.
Good Idea.

I see you’re an intellectual as well.
I enjoy watching people repair and make things. It gets me amped up for my own existing projects, and gives me ideas for new projects.
Andrew Camarata - excavation, construction, equipment maintenance
Jimmy DiResta - maker
Laura Kampf - maker
2StrokeTurbo - auto mechanic with a love of unique vehicles

All 3 are quite good. Carlson has a patreon channel also I will probly join. $5 a month so cheap for the knowledge shared.
Smart Trucking or Indiana Jack if trucks are your thing.
Now, for real:
Shadiversity - Medieval and ancient times’ discussion, with some fantasy and other subjects here and there. Shad is also an author, if you care for a bit more literature.
GTOger - Watch the entitled and selectively illiterate be towed from this lot in Dallas, Texas, with some humour on the side.
Bedtime Stories - Aliens, cryptids, disappearances, strange deaths and other mysterious events, all in documentary format with excellent voiceover and even better hand drawn art.
Joseph Carter The Mink Man - Ever wondered what a beastmaster of fantasy fiction would be in real life? This guy is the answer. His muskrat hunts and brown rat pest control sessions are like nothing on the Internet. (His Vimeo channel has more like Raccoons, but well, paywalls.)
Brave Dave - Though he’s mostly known for his freight hopping series, he makes some damn good content in general. I love his camping trips, hikes and scrambles.
Clickspring: excellent craftmanship here
This Old Tony: machining, but superb here
Marco Reps: very interesting tech videos here
MeatCanyon: Parodies… but… you’ll see here
NightHawkInLight: science experiments and other fun stuff here
These are some of my favorites
