The last several months, I’ve started watching YouTube.
I tried looking at what I’ve been watching:
- lawn mowing
- drain clearing
- dog grooming
I spend lots of time watching professionals at work.
People like
Cutting Edge Engineering (machinist)
Rain Man Rays Repairs (automotive mechanic)
Yourshire Car Restoration (automotive restoration)
And Bobs Decline (lineman)
Decided to learn guitar this year.
Spent the first week of the year watching nothing but Luthiers.
Guess I’m really starting from scratch then.
I got a whole list of other automotive channels if you need.
The other two that come to mind are
And
But I’m happy to hear of others.
There’s also a bunch of hobby machinists I watch, though I’ve not found many that show day-to-day professional work like CEE does. Maybe Abom79, but he focuses on smaller home projects, not so much industry type stuff.
- Aging Wheels Weird and electric stuff
- Bad Obsession Motorsport The Binky Project
- ChrisFix How-to basics
- driving 4 answers Deep into the mechanical theory of engines
- Ed’s Auto Reviews Wonderful history
- FortNine Motorcycle “stuff”
- Junkyard Digs Will it run, back on the road
- Mortske Repair Back on the road, really knows old Fords (Model A, Model T), and 50s/60s stuff
- NoNonsenseKnowHow Will it run, flips. Cars, boats, motorcycles, farm equipment, whatever
- Pole Barn Garage Will it run, back on the road hardmode. The Holey Goat is a work of art.
- Puddin’s Fab Shop Will it run, excellent restorations. Lots of old mini trucks.
- Robot Cantina Silly projects that usually involve Predator engines from Harbor Freight
- Sleeperdude The whole family and various animals are involved. Will it run, back on the road, drag and burnout cars, occasionally builds engines. Very knowledgeably.
- SuperFastMatt High budget silliness with cars
- The Bearded Mechanic Will it run, back on the road, motorcycles
Watch Fat Electrician, he does a lot of history stuff that is well presented and entertaining. Lots of highlighting exceptional members of the military that had plot armor or were the main character. His second channel does highlights of companies like Arizona Iced Tea, Chik-Fil-a, etc.
If you value privacy, I recommend using freetube, an open source frontend to YouTube
You can import your sub list, and your front page will be all their most recently uploaded videos in order
I pretty commonly have the issue of missing uploads because of my work, and that basically fixes it
Thanks. While I do, every solution I’ve tried is less convenient on iPhone. Generally I just don’t login and hope that does something
Yeah, the iPhone microsystem is very restrictive. I’m not one to sing praises for samsung (they’re just as bad in many ways), but I can still install apks for custom apps like tubetube, another safer YouTube frontend
I can’t verify anything, but there seem to be some (albeit limited) alternatives like vuetube and yattee still floating around for ios

Can’t expect to gain something (privacy) without losing something in return (convenience).
I love hard work, I could watch it all day.
some of the yard work guys are insane. I literally could watch them all day.
- Car and motorcycle [re]building
I’ve got a lot of woodtube like Paul Sellers and Wood By Wright, plus a lot of stuff about Subnautica and RedLetterMedia. Also SEA, Astrum and History For Granite, my fall asleep documentary team.
Thanks for an interesting list to search through
I highly recommend Astrum’s series about the Opportunity rover.
