Great production value too.

Why do these presenters insist of asking me whats up? Surely they can invent a better intro than that, I think they need to watch Clickspring who BTW has just put up another video. Awesome stuff, 20 minutes of excellence.

He usually does wear a twin filter half face respirator (especially when turning), but as with most commercial shop's I've worked/been in, DC is seriously lacking. Most people I've worked with would be floored at the extent to which DC is discussed and implemented on this forum.

I've seen a medium sized workspace (low ceilings and poor ventilation) that had 3 guys sanding MDF fronts (orbital and by hand), 3 apprentices sanding panels that had been sprayed with undercoat and 2 guys routing MDF. There were 4 others that were assembling cabinets (in the same space) and guess how many had respiratory protection..?
2, and that was in the form of paper masks. Most people simply use air hose to 'blow the dust away'.

I'm dumbfounded as to how lightly some people treat DC, especially when they are working minimum 8 hours a day in an active workshop with others.

That's one think I always like about Rob Cosman's videos; "Hi I'm Rob Cosman, welcome to my shop". https://www.youtube.com/user/robc45

Just stumbled across another metal channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8_...nvZwJnw/videos

Another metalworking channel, This old Tony.

https://www.youtube.com/user/featony

Filled with hilarious jokes and lots of fun. Very well presented content too

Mad Leo, or rather Leo but you would have to be mad to rebuild this wreck. Awesome boat building skills and he has some pretty guest helpers from time to time. He is very articulate when explaining why he is going to do something without getting too complicated in what is a complicated subject. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg-...hBnDSay7nmphUA

Jeremy Schmidt...a very clever young man who builds all sorts of stuff in both wood and metal. His home made linisher/belt sander is something every metal worker or welder should have and his table saw fence system is fantastic.

Not woodwork related but hugely entertaining and showing metal fabrication skills from another planet. It is a project to put a Toyota Celica 4wd driveline into a rusted out Mini.....https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHv...B7NyU5tIiEZHBg

This is an old thread I know, but worth looking at.

This kid is my current favourite.

Andy Rawls and of course Steve Hayes from Australia.

If you are going down the boat building path with Leo, then also:

SV Seeker: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj_...-qdD-lPUtTEcXw
Acorn to Arabella: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAi...WB1xCp6uuUo0VA

Don't watch SV Seeker if you want to see good working practices.

This Old Tony makes very good videos in my opinion and deserves more attention than he gets. His problem is that he has a day job and so doesn't do enough videos to game the YouTube system.

The bloke from Primitive Technology is very impressive in his ingenuity, just watch out as there are a few copycat channels that use "Primitive Technology" in their titles, but don't really adhere to his principle of everything being made by hand from raw materials. They're also leeching off his incredible popularity (8M subscribers!!).

For welding (I know, woodwork forums, so shoot me), Jodi from weldingtipsandtricks is the man - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqq...j4-UApS_m_6mPw . He has both simple and hard techniques and also a website that lets you work your way through his video series as you learn.

I can't believe I'm about to do this, but if you want someone who always does things with the volume set to 12, colin furze: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp6...y0O-n9QU6phsgw

I liked his older videos, because there was less "I'm going to do this and it happens" and more "I'm going to try and do this and see what happens". More recently, he's jumped the shark and now everything is ridiculous, as opposed to just being a little mad.

A one off video, go for a downhill ride in a Monohull, namely Ragamuffin at 38 knots with awesome music.
