Best Woodworking YouTube Channels...

Tokyo Machine Centre's YT is worth a look. Lots of older, often drool-worthy Japanese machinery you don't often see in the West.

I have been watching recently a new channel. It is called Daddy Share space. Very small YouTube channel but surprisingly a detailed reviews of most Festool products. It is worth mentioning if you want to see some detailed Festool product reviews, Mark Qandil
 
On the topic of interesting Japanese power tools, I've never seen an automated chop-saw with a blade that comes up from under the table. In the embedded video, it makes it's first appearance a few seconds in.

The video has a lot of cool jigs. They've really perfected the art of making these eyeglass cases.

And check out this saw for making 9 kerf cuts in one pass.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Insider Carpentry was one of my favorite channels and it still is. Spencer does a great job and I have applied a lot of what I learned from him remodeling my house. Lately however I have watched more from the OG (at least here in the US) remodeling crew than any other channel. The OG crew I am referring to is This Old House. Tom Silva is pretty amazing and they have a video for just about everything up on YouTube these days. These videos have helped me avoid withdrawal while waiting for the new season to start on my local PBS station.

Spencer's great, very humble and no fuss intelligent guy. Probably a lot of the reason he does so well as a tradie!

I've got a lot of respect for guys like him that don't rely on stupid gimmicks or outlandish behaviour to get their content out there.
 
Here's another channel to Trigger you.




That's another one, who changed pretty dramatically. He was much heavier, when I first ran across his channel, but has gotten into the gimmickry. Clickbait titles, exaggerated caricature, speech emphasis, etc.
I can't take it anymore. Fortunately, I never subscribed, so it dropped off my suggestions.
 
Here's a video I enjoyed watching - partially because the design of the chair is something I'm planning on modeling a different chair from.

But Fair Warning: this video has no Festool, no SawStop, no dust collection, no PPE - just a bunch of guys slinging wood on a lot of house made woodworking machinery in flip-flops, out in the weather, cutting slabs, smoking cigarettes and making traditional Filipino furniture out in the Philippine barrio. Good Times.

 
She is back!



She does not make a lot of videos but any time she does it is worth watching multiple times. I have a feeling she has some formal training in an engineering discipline but I could be wrong. She is one very clever lady and something I do when watching her videos is slow the playback speed down to '75 as my ear isn't tuned to the way she speaks and the speed of it.
