Nothing of beauty lasts, and before you tube becomes unwatchable like the telly, as its adverts get longer and longer and more obtrusive, let's share some examples of good channels that we like to watch, related to our interests.
I don't remember ever seeing a thread like this on here, so over a morning cuppa I figured I'd start one. A repository of channels recommended by GOTers, based on an interest or two you might have. Here are mine:
Engineering DIY and manly man skills:
AVE - a canadian with a great knowledge and great / quirky turn of phrase. Gives honest, sometimes brutal reviews of tools and other bits of kit. His abrupt turn around of language, on camera, as his young daughter totters into his workshop is another source of humour to me.
This Old Tony - Mixes a very interesting delivery of his engineering skills and metal working with subtle humour and clever editing.
Big Clive - Seductive soft scottish accent draws you in as he reviews electronics and reverse engineers circuits - again done with a quiet humour that just draws you in even when you can't follow what's going on.
Mr Pete 222 - Tubalcain - a retired metalwork teacher from the deep south, who reminds you to wear your safety specs at every opportunity - but what he doesn't know about using machinery isn't worth knowing.
Wranglerstar - turning into a bit of a wet blanket now, but one of my first finds. A fella who seems to have you tube money pouring out of his ears and every toy going on his ranch, as he sits in his enormous workshop and shows through his tools and gives tips, or drives his shiny new tractor up to his logging mill and cuts lumber for his sawmill. Just an ordinary DIYer, with a perfect wife and perfect life and perfect kids who talks through what he does to good effect, albeit a bit of a drama queen and a bit wordy. He's like a hot cup of tea in front of the fire on a rainy Sunday afternoon though.
Old educational videos - a list of all those videos the older people on here may have seen on worn out video tapes, at school in DT.
History
The history guy - if you can bear his hard to take machine gun like delivery, the fella gives interesting 10 minutes or so snippets of forgotten or airbrushed out history that "deserves to be remembered."
James Bones - no idea who he is, but he's listed all the Hornblower films and I'm a sucker for a bit of naval history.
