DrBouvenstein posted:Anyone have recommendations for channels that do took/antique/old machinery restoration WITH narration? I feel this request, I am not a fan of videos without narration. Here are a few of the channels I've been watching lately: The soothing New Zealander sounds of Marty T restoring his friends and his own heavy machinery are quite nice. He explains pretty much everything going on in each shot, restores some pretty old heavy equipment, sets up free power generation from the constant rain over there, and generally shows his own slice of life in each video. I wouldn't mind having him as a neighbor. https://www.youtube.com/c/MartyT Probably mentioned already but This Old Tony is an extremely soothing hobby machinist YouTuber. I especially enjoyed his series on restoring an old Maho mill as a machinist nerd who has no machines or space for a shop. Maybe some day I can afford a space to fit machines into. https://www.youtube.com/c/ThisOldTony On the hobby machinist note I really enjoy Blondihacks' videos, she really shows how much you can do in a small shop and also has a very soothing voice: https://www.youtube.com/c/Blondihacks I've been getting into synths and electronic music production as a hobby lately and I have enjoyed BoBeats' videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/BoBeatsMusic But the videos I look forward to the most each week right now are from Cutting Edge Engineering, I loving love the gigantic lathes he uses and his wife has quickly grown in video editing and production. Homeless the shop dog is always a treat as well: https://www.youtube.com/c/CuttingEdgeEngineeringAustralia Edit: Trovarsi is a local and has been making some great sounds, I guess she does some workshops every now and then locally which I now need to look into: https://www.youtube.com/c/Trovarsi Shartweek has a new favorite as of 05:22 on Dec 29, 2021 |

Anyone have any recommendation for makers of nerdy things going in depth about their process? I just watched Mighty Jabba's Collection modeling and 3D printing custom retro Star Wars figures, then watched a Tested video on how the stop-motion puppets in Star Wars TFA were made, and I've been enjoying watching Luke Towan make miniature dioramas with moving parts. Now I'm in the mood for more! I'd be particularly interested in people using 3D printing or mold-making in their processes. Would probably enjoy cosplay videos if they're particularly talented and/or elaborate. Or any process that goes from digital -> physical. e: and as with DrBouvenstein's request, I definitely need narration. feedmyleg has a new favorite as of 00:43 on Jan 8, 2022 |

This channel just started a couple of weeks ago, but it looks promising. Awful Archaeology devotes each episode to a random archaeological conspiracy or hoax, gives a solid breakdown of the history and arguments, and then their reasoning for why it isn't true. Worth a watch if you like weird history or anthropology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USHWhxlJLj8

This dude rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXjiV_DWX6s The Carpetbagger is an ordinary family man who makes very good, well-edited videos about his passion in life: road-tripping all over the USA visiting roadside attractions, tourist traps, haunted houses, amusement parks, museums and other random Places Of Interest. I found him while looking for videos on OmegaMart, which he has a great video on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EZMc0EMmm4 He checks with each location before posting videos of the insides of them, but the ones where he can film inside are edited for the best content so as not to just be "here's the entire attraction so you don't have to pay to get in". They're great little reviews, and his love and joy of all these weird little slices of cheesy Americana really shines through no matter how dumpy and out-of-date the interior, no matter how creepy and barely-functional the animatronic, no matter how bizarre the subject matter. In the time of Covid when I'm really missing vacations, these are little slices of escapist happiness. This guy's content deserves a lot more praise than he gets, for the dedication alone. Although maybe give it a pass if you're scared of clowns, animatronics, ventriloquist dummies, mannequins or the like. There are just so, so many creepy mannequins in there. Jesus, there's a lot.

There are probably a hojillion amateur movie reviewers on youtube, but so far I'm liking Elvis the Alien. He does to-the-point mockings of terrible movies, leaning especially towards Nick Cage movies. He's pretty down to earth and usually can't help but laugh at how stupid some of these films are. He also has a Nick Cage cardboard cutout that sometimes gets involved in the comedy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg0eeqrXLIo

I was daydreaming about having the time, skill, and sustained interest to build an elaborate terrarium in my apartment, then went down a big YouTube hole to find out just how many channels there are focused on creating gorgeous bioactive terrariums, vivariums, paludariums, aquariums, and more. Apparently creating elaborate self-sustaining homes for amphibians, lizards, insects, fish, plants, and just about any other critter you can think of is something that a lot of people are interested in. Thankfully, these channels are here to let you in on the process without having to deal with the tedium, hassle, smells, or maintenance of these mini habitats—or being known as "that lizard girl" or "that bug guy." Nordic Ants Easily my favorite of the bunch is Nordic Ants, who creates elaborate miniature ecosystems inside paludariums—a tank containing both aquatic and land-based environments which can support an entire mini ecosystem that needs little if any outside care or maintenance. He's got a chill vibe and a pleasantly dry sense of humor, and gives regular updates on the changes that take place inside of his habitats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79HApBgCdL0 SerpaDesign The most relaxing one I've come across is SerpaDesign. He's got a ton of skill, good taste, and a very chill vibe. He's got tanks of all sorts, from moss waterfalls to bullfrog ponds to impeccably-aquascaped river basin aquariums. He has a wide range of incredible habitats that he creates, maintains, and provides regular updates on as they shift and change over time. My favorite is a series on his massive, elaborate 350 gallon paludarium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKTTUec1o7A AntsCanada A bit of a goofier take on this world, AntsCanada likes building fun themed habitats for ants, such as a spooky Skull Island or an Avatar-inspired floating mountainscape. He also does things like raise rhinoceros beetles then puts them through strength and speed challenges in a very fun Rhino Beetle olympiad. His editing and narration style is a bit over-the-top and occasionally rubs me the wrong way, and the tastefulness of some of his choices is questionable, but the content is good and his passion really comes through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJCNeid1eg

My favorite stuff of his is when he goes to various trade shows. The halloween trade shows and the amusement park ones seem really cool to check out. Oh also MeowWolf looks amazing but I won't spoil it. Warbird posted:This is super cool and good but how the gently caress is he doing nearly daily uploads? These aren’t short and have a decent amount of editing going on. Just getting to these places would take more time than seems feasible for his cadence. They aren't really that flashy and don't have any narration so he probably uses most of the footage he films and then spends an hour or so editing them a little bit. And I'm guessing he plans his travels out efficiently but yea it's really impressive. My contribution: RedEye Reviews. It's a growing channel where he reviews schlocky action movies - he started with Steven Seagal movies but there's other stuff mixed in - and just kinda points out how stupid and ridiculous they are. It's not exactly the most original formula in the world but the narrator is funny and mocks the movies the perfect amount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tne0h4tu4x0

Yeah he will occasionally rant about european socialism or antifa but mostly it's him interacting with the locals, hitching rides, and trying to avoid getting robbed. Of particular interest was him visiting an island lockup where they apparently keep dangerous pedophiles while trying to avoid the authorities

For me: Ben Tardiff (The Ben Company) https://www.youtube.com/c/BenTardif/videos Stuntman who started out with a bunch of Marble Run creation videos. Moved house with his wife and started a whole series on renovating his home and various carpentry projects including building a chicken run and a workshop. Now doing a few videos relating to marble and domino runs but still interspersed with building and carpentry projects. Has a cat and a couple of dogs who feature frequently in the end credits and outtakes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT75iaDOF9Y Shiey - https://www.youtube.com/c/shiey Not a small channel by any means and I probably learnt about it from here. Shiey does a fair amount of train hopping and exploring ruined and abandoned places though out Eastern Europe because "its there" and its what he loves to do. Its really interesting and engaging, completely off the cuff and documented as it happens with phone cameras and go-pros. Pretty much always illegal and trespassing from finding a spot to eat/sleep from towers and abandoned places to climb. But he is not there to cause damage or steal though some of his videos will give you vertigo. His videos going to Chernobyl are a good start, he has one in the winter and one in the spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGPjj4B_jEk OSW Review - https://www.youtube.com/user/OSWreviewHD Group of 3 wrestling fans taking the piss out of WWF/WWE/WWC from a comedic/historical outlook critiquing PPVs show by show. Lots of in-jokes with segways, comedy moments and recurring segments. Mostly PPV shows prior to 2001 with the early videos every WWF from Wrestlemania 1 to around 1992. Occasionally they do movie reviews too. Sometimes they can go OTT with the edgy-ness it should be said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeIPaYN4jU8&t=626s

That's not really what happened. Real life got in the way of making it and there were no updates for ages, and he just didn't want to have to deal with any potential problems with legality, but it was not the major reason. It ending has been held up by the Arch's and Discourse MInatures "GW is literally the devil!" people as GW being super hard on fan content, which they really haven't. It was mostly people doing things like selling 3d printing files of actual models and stuff that any company would come after. Also nazis, they came after nazi content.

https://youtu.be/eo8_5d9yGq4 Martijn Doolaard is a Dutch gentleman that bought an old ruined pair of rural houses in the Italian Alps. He decided to restore them completely with his own hands and the sweat of his brow, make them self sufficient with solar power and every few weeks he posts his latest progress video, with stunning cinematography and composition, no annoying music, no voice over, just a dude working at his own pace in beautiful nature. This is the most relaxing series I've ever seen, and having been born in Northern Italy and now sitting in a flat in London, every one of his videos awakens the urge to leave this god forsaken city and move into a cabin in the woods. Recommended if you like nature, like long panoramic shots and whenever you're feeling stressed out by modern life. Lifroc has a new favorite as of 17:22 on Jun 4, 2022 |

It might have been posted already, but I'm a big fan of Heron's Bonsai videos. It's mostly a guy named Peter Chan who owns the nursery outside of London demonstrating mostly beginner oriented bonsai videos. It has same kind of pleasant down to earthness as a British gardening show, and a fairly frequent upload schedule. Audio quality is hit or miss since they don't have any mics, but is mostly fine. It got me making bonsai with under £40 worth of Junipers, wires and secateurs.

I am not a guitar head, I am a drummer and I like soul and funk music. But in my inexpert view this guy is a great, great guitarist. Miles of styles, can pastiche greats, hybridize, and be original. His band Little Barrie is cool too but on YT he just posts 1 minute sketches on various old guitars I know nothing about. But every sketch is like... he's playing a style you know but somehow finding new licks. I should mention his band's claim to fame is the Better Call Saul theme, I guess. I really can't stand guitar wanking and chop flossing but he plays with restraint and beauty and works out ideas in a very listenable way. If you like soul music and such you might like his stuff too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy1N1ToHNLo weird bossa hybrid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyJG3OblQgw https://youtube.com/user/WeAreLittleBarrie/ hope the embedding works i'm on a phone Deep Glove Bruno has a new favorite as of 23:58 on Jun 22, 2022 |

I like watching JPRail's videos in my off-time; the tl;dr is that he's a 50-something Japanese dude who worked for a travel agency in Canada who suddenly had a lot more time on his hands once COVID hit and he made a lot of videos explaining shinkansen trains and history and planned/potential routes and the management of the various JR companies for an English-speaking audience. sadly he stopped posting videos in English because he never really got that much of an audience on his anglophone channel, but found much more success making videos in Japanese. Good for him.
