-Paul Sellers
-Frank Howarth
- I build it / John Heisz
-KingPost timber works (new Zealand guy)
-Cosmas Bauer
-Marius Hornberger
-Alain Vaillancourt

Non woodworking
-Clickspring (Australian clock making)
-This old Tony (very well produced machining videos)
-Make it extreme (homemade metal working machines)
-primitive technology (Australian guy making huts and things, no tools!)
- cody's lab (interesting science type videos)
- Luke Towan (Australian model making)
-AvE (tool teardowns / rambling )

I'm sure there's a lot more that I watch but that's it for the moment!

That's right, I like my youtube videos!

A big fan/respect for the following:

Dorian Bracht - videos of him creating some of the most amazingly fitting joints I've ever seen. no talking, just woodworking
The Samurai Carpenter - a bit of a character, not for everyone, but creates beautiful pieces. Watch his bench build or Japanese Cedar Gate
Paul Sellers
Chris Salomone - AKA Foureyes. Works mainly with ply. a bit of art meats furniture. A chilled guy
ISHITANI FURNITURE - cool joinery. nice furniture.

I used to watch a bit of the samurai but kinda went off him, especially after he made a big sob story about running out of money, people donated quite a bit of cash to his cause so he could finish his house then nek minute he's off on holiday, and jaunts off to Japan. I never donated anything myself but it put a sour taste in my mouth.

Cosmos Bauer is another of those clever young engineers, really enjoyed his green sand? aluminium slingshot builds.

I like michael cthulhu's vids the best. It's not woodwork, and not blacksmithing. He is a welder and makes giant swords and he isn't a wimp using metal lathes or cnc blah blah. An angle grinder and a drillpress is quite often his lathe He makes long format vids 1hr+

I like kuffys Chanel.
He makes great cars.
But I'm not clever enough to do a link thingy

Cheers Matt

I didn't know that. i usually watch him on mute since he kind of erks me.
you can't deny though he makes beautiful things.

A few of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I like this guy for his excess of talent and lack of words.

Tom Fidgen - The unplugged workshop

EDIT:
Must apologise, after watching many of his fantastic vids, he talks nonstop in his latest. Still worth a visit though, just start with the earlier vids.

I completely agree with what was said about the "Samurai Carpenter"

I can deal with a bit of talking yourself up but when you're at his level of it it's just unbearable to watch!

mtmwood, he makes the most amazing cutting/chopping boards

I took his overly confident srutting in my stride, his eye for detail and gorgeous Japanese designs made it worth it, but I detest dishonesty, the guy just rubs me the wrong way.
I also enjoy the "making it"podcasts with Jimmy Diresta, Bob Claget(I like to make stuff) and David Petru..something...
Bob has a great style and 9 times out of 10 he's doing stuff for the first time and he leaves in his mistakes and discuss's what went wrong and how to fix it. Jimmy is such a pleasure to watch though he's prolly a bit rough at times, but he's an artist at heart and isn't afraid to try anything. David is very skilful and his work is immaculate

.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfqY0DTPlVg&t=1s Bob makes a resin/concrete ocean floor coffee table, bit of a cock up but a good watch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN4OskdeO8w Jimmy Diresta makes a leather camera holster.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu_qFDanGPY David gives advice on how to price your work to sell.

I like Doucette and Wolfe Furniture Makers videos. There's a new guy Matt Estlea as well who just made a nice Roubo bench that looks like he may post some more good projects in the future.
