MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Apart from the fairly common (I imagine) cars/bikes/tech/music/movies channels I subscribe to I really enjoy a channel called [url= https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt14YOvYhd5FCGCwcjhrOdA ]Scholagladiatoria[/url] which despite sounding a bit like something for people who like movies about gladiators, is mainly about medieval to Victorian era swords and fencing.
I have no real interest in [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_European_martial_arts ]HEMA[/url] but host Matt Easton is a world of knowledge and enthusiastic, and seems to be politely, yet firmly combating ignorance and nonsense online (on the subject of swords at least).
Does anyone else have any odd or niche channels they subscribe to?
Hilarious Russian guy plays with serious weapons: https://www.youtube.com/user/FPSRussia
Not even a real Russian Bob!
[url= https://www.youtube.com/user/urbanTrash ]Frank Howarth[/url] - man makes things out of wood.
[url= https://www.youtube.com/user/WarterPrioryEstate ]Found this one yesterday[/url] which will please the tractor geeks no end. My 3yr old boy loved it.
turnwrightmachineworkes - machining. long videos but you learn a lot
arduinoversusevil - machinging, hydraulics, electonics, tare downs, quite funny
applied science - sicence hacks, engineering hacks, built his own electon microscope
matthias wandel - wood working with an engineering aproach,
EEV blog - electronic engineering
photonicinduction - blowign things up with high voltage.
mikeselectricalstuff - electonic engineering rippign apart x ray machines. Super smart guy
forgot jimmyderiesta - making loads of stuff. You see teh full process because it is sped up.
weldingtipandtricks - has improved my welding. it has gone from usless, to slightly better than usless, but at least I know what it wrong with it now!
[url= https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL2qlV5RtGMEGwSjJTNUWDQ ]Meades Shrine[/url]
One of my heroes, and the only place you can watch most of his back catalogue save for a handful of episodes available on a DVD. Whoever runs Meades Shrine channel is a legend for getting hold of recordings and curating them.
Noted, not as I have anything to add bar Global Cycling Network (which is very good) but because I know there will be interesting stuff here.
TheBrick: you appear to be me!
I watch all those guys. AvE is particularly funny. The guy is clearly incredibly clever yet very down to earth and has a wicked sense of humour.
If you like them you may also enjoy
Matthias Wandel - woodworker but a much more precision engineering approach to it
Izzy Swan - another woodworker but very practical
afrotechmods - electronics and magic smoke liberation
The Ben Heck Show - lots of electronics and making
Also see I Like To Make Stuff, Make, DIY Perks, Steve Ramsey
Edit: just spotted you already had Matthias on your list. Told you, you are me!
Tractorspotter
Some guy who lives in Holland or Belgium who films a lot of tractors and other agricultural machinery. If you can plant it or harvest it those craaaazy dutchmen have a machine that can do it.
My 4 year old loves the channel.
Frank Howarth + 1
Jimmy Diresta + 1 (Can't believe he still has all his fingers...)
Mike Waldt (woodturner)
unusual? none that I can think of.
niche?
well apart from GCN and GMBN, it would be HAK5, Ben Heck Show (very occasionally), Flite Test, Photonicinduction (ace if you like bloiwing stuff up with kilovolts), but surprisingly no rocketry channels.
Stoner - thank you so much for that!
In return may I offer [url= https://www.youtube.com/user/badobsessionmsport ]Project Binky?[/url]
nice one, Im going to enjoy binky!
@Grahams. Ha! You here them all mention each other chanels a lot. I think its a common geek subsciption list. I think I'm subscribed to most of the others you mention too but they are lower down my list. I'm subed not to Steve Ramsey though, his constant chuckle make me mad.
I like Steve Ramsey because they are projects that I could realistically attempt with my limited skills and lack of huge workshop with ten different saws, routers and lathes.
But yeah, I think his channel has gone downhill a little as it became more commercial and forced.
His older videos (back when he still has a beard) are better IMO, if a bit less professional.
ViceNews
US Central Command
singlespeedstu2 😉
A music reviewer called TheNeedleDrop ... don't watch it anymore though cos he started to get on my wick.
Project Binky is excellent! Thanks onewheelgood...
Binky - liking that ...
Some others from my long list of subs.
Science/maths/computer stuff:
Numberphile, Computerphile
Veritasium, 2Veritasium
Vsauce, Vsauce2
Sixty Symbols
minutephysics
SmarterEveryDay
General Entertainment:
FailArmy - always has the best fail vids
Casey Neistat - dude
Tested - gadgets and geekery
Tom Scott - lots of interesting stuff
Live Prude Girls (sadly stopped now but watch if you like hilarious really uncomfortable interviews)
AgentJz, Bigclive, and Periodic videos.
think I've watched every single numberphile and periodic videos in a massive youtube session. watched most/many computerphiles.
the klein bottle vids that just came out over the last few days are brilliant.
also subbed to Motherboard, but that's mainly cos I feature in one of their vids.
I never knew there was such a thing as a ten furrow reversable plough!
The TED talks are pretty good and I also subscribe to STOMPDOWN which is an illegal graffiti channel
Japanese traditional samurai movie stuff ... 😀
Something like this ...
Or by this company ...
Ave is great to watch, whatever he says it's either clever or amusing.
SV Seeker for some mad origami boat building.
Colin Furze for general craziness... Wall of death is a highlight.
Waterprioryestate for some large scale tractor/farming.
And of course,
SimonsCat
Do enjoy project binky too, lucky engineering or complete madness with talent.
I like other stuff
Hasta Alaska driving a amped van from South America to guess where.
Another where an American is building a huge boat in his back yard out of folder steel sheet. It's massive engineering and possible not going to fantastically seaworthy at the end but he does love welding.
Other stuff is more game and work related stuff.
Grant Thompson - king of random
Knobs - guitar pedal review
Roadkill - this is what Top Gear road trips should be.
Whiskey, women and weed.
