From our other interactions, I'm going to suggest:

Cracking the Cryptic ... it can be oddly satisfying to watch them solve a puzzle.

Anton Petrov for space news.

If you're not familiar with Sabine Hossenfelder, I'd be very surprised, but she's great for wider physics.

Robert Reich is doing some great things these days. The Saturday Coffee Klatsch is a must-watch for me, even if it gets a little predictable.

Beau of the Fifth Column, whom I'm aware from an earlier post is not highly regarded, burned out, and his wife has continued the channel. Rarely more then 5 minutes, and there's never footage, just the news and quality analysis.

I'm getting somewhat tired of Bryan Tyler Cohen's clickbait bullshit, but his panelists can be helpful in unpacking news.

Hope these are somewhat helpful!

Thank you for those!

burned out, and his wife has continued the channel

Wow, that is surprising to hear. I bounced off him when I started seeing him just talking about stuff I'd already seen Twitter as though it was insider information, and prognosticating on things that were clearly outside his wheelhouse. I'll check out the channel again and see how his wife is running it.

Burnout is real, and it shows up well ahead of when we think it does ourselves. I frankly find it impressive and respectable that he was like, "well, I'm not doing what I used to, and I don't know how to get back there, so I have a single option." And that his wife believed enough in the work to just pick it up where he left off.

ETA: here's his final post

Laura Kampf! Great series on restoring an old house in Germany and just lots of great maker content.

[–] remington@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nice! I'll check it out.

[–] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Primitive Technology. Heard of this through lemmy. Pretty nice overall. No talking but you can follow along through the subtitles.

I've been a fan since the beginning! Thanks!

[–] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Also THUNK. Not necessarily that close to what is on your list but I like his takes on philosophical takes on a bunch of technical fields.

I'm not looking at any of your recommendations so I have no idea if you would like this but I really enjoy twoodfrd, he makes videos about repairing guitars and other string instruments, very relaxing, soothing voice, and lots of fascinating info about guitars

[–] remington@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

That looks like it would interest me. Thanks!

[–] Kissaki@beehaw.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Let me check how many subscriptions I have.

uuuh, 1,499 🫠

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Check out the Tally Ho restoration by Sampson boat co

[–] remington@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

I will! Thanks!

[–] remington@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I had to come back and say thank you again. I'm starting episode 10 and I love this series. If there is any other YouTube content similar to this that you'd like to recommend, then please lay it on me.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Oh that's awesome! Although the tone is slightly different Sail Life is a Danish guy doing a VERY thorough restoration on another sailboat Athena, so you might also enjoy it. He really grows on you

[–] remington@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks again! I'll surely check it out.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I really like Inheritance Machining and ~~One Big Tony~~ This Old Tony

[–] remington@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Inheritance Machining looks great. I couldn't find One Big Tony though. Thanks!

[–] alkheemist@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm guessing they meant This Old Tony

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes that's exactly what I meant, thanks. I dont know how I even got that wrong.

Based on Drew Builds Stuff:

  • Stuff Made Here, applying high technology and robotics to low-stakes challenges.
  • The Thought Emporium (Also on Nebula). One day, they're artificially aging whiskey with ultrasound, the next, the host is editing his own genes to remove lactose intolerance.

Based on the intersection of building and the great outdoors:

  • Quiet Nerd, who's been building a lot of camping equipment lately.

Some shots in the dark, based on exploration and documenting the unseen:

Based on Baumgartner Restoration:

  • Hand Tool Rescue, a channel where they lovingly restore antique tools and machines.

How To Make Everything

[–] Gamers_mate@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

I would also suggest DIY perks. I enjoyed his video on what to do with old and broken laptops.

[–] remington@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks! I'll check it out.

[–] Penguincoder@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Darknet Diaries.

[–] remington@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks but that link is what?

[–] Penguincoder@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Apparently the wrong link. Editted now, sorry. Was the youtube playlist link.

[–] remington@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks!

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

David Bull - Japanese Woodblock printing

[–] remington@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

That looks intriguing. Thanks!

[–] xylem@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
  • Clickspring - gently narrated master craftsmanship, in this case watchmaking. His Antikythera Mechanism series is particularly awesome
  • Adventurous Way - previously RVing content, now building a house in Vermont
[–] remington@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Those look perfect. Thank you!
