Favorite Youtube List

One of my favorites..Engels Coach Shop...woodworking..metal work..welding..jig making, and a lot more.
Mostly..no hollering..a gentleman...enjoy

I have seen a couple of these videos and I have enjoyed them immensely. Know nothing about that kind of work except for a little from The Woodwright's Shop and it was fascinating to see these items come to life.

I haven't succumbed to the Youtube bug yet. I almost never watch anything unless someone provides a specific link.
 
Since I have gotten into restoring radios and console stereos from the 1940's to the early 1960's my YouTube list reflects this.
 
I don't really have a favorite, the only thing I use YT for is to fix things that break... So far it has not let me down. Helped me fix a intermittent problem with my hot water heater in my RV that two local RV repair outfit, just could not figure out, after spending $200 letting them try, I referred to YT... First video up solved it, cost me $11 for the switch that was bad and 3 minutes to replace it... A few months ago it helped me fix my clothes washing machine for under $50. Would have cost me at least $300 to to have a repair person come to fix it. I usually refuse to use social sites that censor items that do not fit their political agenda,,,, but I just cannot afford give up on YT.
 
Here's a few favorites I watch regularly.

Matt and his wife do a weekly live discussion on youtube Tuesdays.

He got a pilot TV show on Magnolia "Hibbs shows you how"


He does live Q&A sessions on YouTube

He started a charity to help woodworkers with disabilities.

Started the weekend woodworker course



Just started watching his channel, not sure if he has any power tools

Mostly hand tools

Another woodworker from Canada


He's from the Netherlands. Has a China tools review series, quite a few interesting tools from banggood. Might take a bit to get used to his accent
 
So many great resources, but this thread has gotten lost in the archives. Just by luck it has resurfaced.

May I suggest a forum whereas only resources can be stored.

Something like Off Topic - but read only "RESOURCES"

Post the video thread there

Perhaps a thread for HARDWARE.

I looove watching Paul Sellers (for his classic techniques) and The Wood Whisperer (for detailed project guides). Steve Ramsey also offers some great beginner-friendly ideas, that's how i started :)Btw, if you’re thinking of recording your own woodworking projects, you might want to look into a screen recorder for Mac to capture your progress. It’s a great way to document and share your work. Happy crafting <3

I’ve been catching up on some of Mike Farrington’s channel this week. He’s got a lot of side content in most of the videos, of jigs and “pro tips” that are pretty good. Also has a bit of snarky attitude, which I find entertaining.

 
I still live about an hour from "The Wedge" in Newport Beach. Back in high school and college the boards were still long and quite heavy. Even with the smaller more nimble boards of today you can see how brutal this little inlet to Newport Bay can be when the surf is up.


It was kind of dangerous with the old style boards so we would pick a day (Wednesday as I recall) and spend the first couple of hours body surfing so you didn't have to worry about getting "biffed by a board".. This involves one fin (usually the right) and a "hand plane" (usually on the left for steering and not the kind your thinking of).


You could still get seriously slammed and would walk out of the water with bits of shell and small rocks stuck in your face. We thought that was funny . . . ah, youth :rolleyes:. At any rate. A friend sent the second video to remind this 70-year-old of some of the crazy things we used to do so I though I would share.

Man that closes hard and fast hah. Reminds me of one time I was on some really good south swell on Maui at a little point break and I got up on a nice wave.. it was going well until I looked down and saw bare sand and coral heads.. That was definitely one of those "don't biff it" moments hah (I was over 30 so it'd have hurt more than if I'd learned as a kid.. but still less than it would now).
