To be honest, I haven't gotten tired of anything that This Old Tony or Clickspring do. I think that's because Clickspring doesn't do any gimmicks besides the thing where you hear some radio noises and a drawing of the final part gets overlaid over the stock. This Old Tony's gimmicks are usually comical and aren't trying desperately to be memes. He also lets people know when he isn't entirely sure what he's doing instead of talking from position of authority until he fucks something up.

I have a no cardboard rule. Get something new, open it, and the box goes straight into recycling. I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon because it means I can just click and order, but SO MUCH CARDBOARD. If my wife insists on keeping a box I put it in the lowest corner of the basement so when the spring rains hit it gets soaked and ruined. She hasn't figured it out yet.

Cardboard boxes are great if you can maintain a small pile of them, at least for me. Bikes produce mountains of awkward miscellaneous parts when you take them apart and often things have to come from overseas so all those parts have to go somewhere in the interim. The new parts come in boxes so I throw the old ones out when they get tired and keep a rotating stock of boxes.

I keep boxes for expensive-ish stuff because I generally tend to buy used in new-ish condition and resell in similar condition when I get tired of it or stop using it.

The shove-it-in-your-face corporate sponsorship and paid tool review stuff is where I start to fade out of youtube subs. Unfortunately, Keith Fenner is starting down that path. A couple other youtube machinists got all new dewalt 20v tools the same time and make any excuse to break them out or display them in the back of every camera shot, annoying but not the end of the world. First time they do a blatant advertisement Ill unsub and cancel my patreon stuff.

Did you see the bigclive with the ancient Stilton? I like watching mustie1 resurrect free and yard sale small engine machines, it's repetitive but occasionally quite interesting, like the seadoo he got recently.

It's almost gotten a bit incestuous : The most recent ElectroBoom had a bunch of shoutouts and all of them were at the top of my subscribed list, including seemingly unrelated ones like Captain Disillusion as well as Big Clive and Ave. Then I watched thomas nagy (a UK electrician) and the first comment on his latest video was by Big Clive.

The beaver is how I found him, it popped up on my recommendations after watching chrisgt's first swim! He's also good at getting videos into playlists so I've binge watched the Cushman rebuild and the single cab restoration.

Seconding mustie1 (his videos even helped me with the transmission issue on my Crown Vic, because he fixed the same issue on an F-150), and I've only been watching like 1 our of 5 of AvE's stuff lately. I've watched some of This Old Tony and enjoy those immensely. BigClive is awesome. Watching some of these guys at 1.25x is helpful, sometimes. Mustie1 in particular, just because he talks and rambles a bit slow. I occasionally check out B IS For Build and Tavarish just to see what new disaster they're creating.

Kreez posted:Even 2x isn't fast enough for the intro and talky bits of Abom79. I love his stuff but he could probably do with editing down the segments where he discusses the family history of each micrometer in a glacial drawl every time he uses one. This was my grandpappy's sterrett that he got in 1942 from the corpse of a dead german rocket engineer. he brought it over here and used it to build the plumbing for the house my daddy grew up in. My daddy got it when gramps died, and i miss him, but dad used it to build a gas cap for our first car. I miss dad. Anyway, this things not the most accurate tool in the shop, but i like usin it cuz its got lots of memories.

Actually I mentioned Wintergatan and his build series on the Marble Machine X is pretty drat cool. It's a whole international engineering project with people working out various designs for all the little mechanisms on the thing, machining plywood parts, doing design iterations, etc. Pretty solid rec on its own. His channel also has some behind the scenes stuff of the original Marble Machine and that's more in line with the thread topic. The viral vid is pretty well shot and you kinda get lost in the spectacle, but this one (there is a part 2 as well) forms kind of an anti-sizzle reel where you get closeup shots. Very "warts and all" once you get a good look at everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uog48viZUbM
