There’s lots of “slow TV” and other long-form content on Youtube. The Acorn to Arabella and Tally Ho projects, for example, have each been documenting the building (or rebuilding) of a wooden sailboat week-by-week for years on end. They may not have individual four-hour videos, but if you add up the hundreds of ~30-minute ones, each of those series add up to a lot of footage for single projects.
There’s also Blondihacks, who has a 39-part (and counting) series on machining a model locomotive from bare chunks of metal, Ben Eater, who has a 44-part series on building a computer from discrete logic, Sarah-n-Tuned, who has 58 videos (and counting) on resto-modding an old Toyota Celica (including like half a dozen just on the wiring alone), etc.
And all of these series I mentioned are getting tens or hundreds of thousands of views per video!
