Best Woodworking YouTube Channels...

[HowardH]

I have a bunch that I check on sporadically.  These are some of the ones I prefer.

Matt Cremona

April Wilkerson

The Poplar Shop (used be on the FOG soured on Festool and moved on). No new content really, but a lot of his stuff is good for reference, especially cabinet making within the Festool system

Jonathan Katz-Moses

Guy’s Woodshop

Bent’s Woodworking

Wood Whisperer

Good ones.  Add RR Buildings to the list.  Kyle is an amazing craftsman.  Peter Millard is good and don't forget our old friend Peter Parfitt.

This isn't a woodworking channel but everyone here would really appreciate the craftsmanship of  MyMechanics.  This guy is unbelievable. You won't be disappointed.

Throwing in

Andrea Stokholm - Danish full time cabinet makerhttps://www.youtube.com/@AndreaStokholm

Tends to mostly post videos that aren't her day job.  So not that many tables or cabinets

Recently stumbled across the channel for SWR Craftsmanship. It's all in German so I can't understand any of it, but subtitles are available. The topics are varied, from woodworking to baking to gardening.

Thanks for the find 4nthony.  Binge watching now

After viewing a few, that reminds me though that I don't think Shoyan (Japanese) has been listed here.

Not mostly woodworking, but very interesting…A Craftsman’s Legasy

Hey there, woodworking enthusiasts! I absolutely love watching woodworking channels on YouTube; they're so inspiring and informative.  By the way, if any woodworking content creators out there are looking to expand their reach and connect with a broader audience, you might want to explore using the [url deleted]. It can help you get your amazing woodworking videos out to even more people who share your passion for crafting.

Whoa. Was I impressed or what?

Someone would actually go to such length as to compose a message about something woodworking to make it not look like a spam. Is it done by AI? I can't imagine putting in that kind of effort to promote a link that most people here, by looking at the name of it, would ignore it. For the record, I didn't click on the link.

I'm saving so much on SMM panels now, this is wonderful

Just came across this, brilliantly simple. I'm already working on ways to overcomplicate the ideas...

[member=3192]rvieceli[/member] thought of you at 3:52, maybe adapt the idea for drilling your slab lamps? Add a follower or steady rest to support the bit?

I'd hate to see an X-Ray of that guy's lungs...

[member=8712]Richard/RMW[/member] interesting concept.

What I do use is a Dowl-IT doweling jig. I only need to drill 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch holes and it has both.

It's self centering and works well for keeping the bit straight. I use a couple of additional clamps on the jig to make sure it stays in position though.

Looks like he spends most of his woodworking time making accessories for the sander setup. Interesting but I prefer to spend my time actually making furniture or turning bowls.

Here are a couple that I enjoy just for the relaxation.  First is a Japanese carpenter who has been at it for quite a while.  Interesting to me to see the mix of cultures, methods, and tools. :  https://www.youtube.com/@ShoyanJapaneseCarpenter

Staying again with a Japanese theme at times with a mix but this time with a younger and smaller perspective:  https://www.youtube.com/@AdrianPreda

I have been watching Perkins Brothers Builders for years. While mostly a construction channel, every so often, they’ll be an episode where one of the brothers, Jaime, is creating a custom piece, railing, hood range, or other piece as part of the build.

Having recently retired, I have reviewed this thread a few times looking for good channels to learn from. I have watched many different channels based on the recommendations presented here.  Thanks everyone for taking time to reply.

My current favorite is Insider Carpentry (Spencer Lewis).  He has been mentioned in this thread once or twice a while back.  Spencer is a finish carpenter but also does some shop based work on this channel.  Before retiring we bought house on an acreage and built a shop.  I have used the shop and many things I learned from Spencer to complete several projects (custom closets, laundry room, storage shelves, new office, etc.) for the house.  I have learned  more from Spencer’s channel than any other.  He is great at explaining the finer points and has a terrific focus on process, quality and productivity.  I also used a several things I learned from Bourbon Moth Woodworking for any cabinets I have needed to build.

While not specifically a woodworking channel, I found this interesting:


The skill and attention that went into producing the charcoal, and that there are 11 grades, was fascinating.

At the very end there is a link to a video that starts with candle making, again such skill and dedication to a hand craft was impressive. Literally dipping his hands into melted wax to apply it by hand and create layers, the result is a candle that is a work of art and science both.

I've seen this Japanese woodworker's content on Instagram and today his channel finally found its way into my feed. He primarily posts shorts, but has some long form videos as well. A nice assortment of jigs, DIY tools, and smaller projects.

Continuing the Japanese theme- this Japanology episode on Sashimono is really good

They did a charcoal episode, too.
