    Default Favourite youtube channels

    I watch a lot of youtube and thought we could have a thread to swap some links. In order of preference:

    I love Ishitani Furniture’s design style and excellent videography. Japan.
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7F...U5I8FCHXQSQe9Q

    In the same vein, Kobeomsuk has some nice designs and a nice easy to watch video style, not many projects yet and not as well setup as Ishitani. Korea.
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVO...ygh7sB1KXgh_5g

    Andy from Manor Wood moved to full time furniture making about a year ago, has the exact barn workshop and tool setup I dream about and is now into some really creative epoxy and wood combinations. UK.
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxx...C4DO9KnqC0tZMg

    Frank Howarth does some interesting prohects, particularly turning...mostly though his channel is great for his creative stop motion video style. USA.
    https://www.youtube.com/user/urbanTrash


    Scott Turner’s (no relation) youtube channel is starting to have some nice wood/steel combined designs. I’ve been enjoying his videos and industrial style designs! Australia.
    https://www.youtube.com/user/Mrkeepontrying

    Most of the others I like are in across over between woodwork and farm work so I won’t link, but Rainfall Projects, Timothy Wilmots, Anne of all Trades and others.

    Some popular ones I didn’t stick with, the wood whisperer was good two years ago but got boring, I don’t like David Stanton’s videos much (though some have been useful I don’t find them relaxing).

    The ones i like, aside from ishitani, are the ones which teach me skills as i am still a newbie.

    At the moment these are:
    Worththeeffort
    Although some videos he comes across a bit loud, I've learned so much just from him alone. Great for beginners.

    Paul Sellers
    Needs no introduction.

    Bob Rozaieski
    Another hand tool guy. His cabriolet table tutorials are great.

    Woodworking masterclass
    An Aussie channel, some great project series.

    Jay Bates, Matt Estla, Shannon Rogers and wood by Wright complete my list.

    Regards,

    Adam

    That’s a good list, thanks. A few of my list are new since 2017 for sure.

    What happened to Stu’s Shed anyone know?

    Not a fan of resawing on the table saw passing your hand over and past the blade Rusty? Or perhaps passing your hand over the jointer pressing down while the pork chop guard swings away? Or even just holding a piece of steel with one hand while you’re drilling an 8mm hole in it with the drill press

    People just have no fear of moving parts.

    I tend to avoid you tube.

    10-30 minutes of video that could be summarised with a picture plus 3 lines of text.
    Inane music and drawn out over dramatised intros describing what useless thing the narrator showed in his last vid.
    Crappy camera work and poor sound.
    Safety issues galore - I see enough of these at the mens shed.
    Over the top claims.
    Ads
    The way it tracks what you watch - disturbing!

    And that's just for starters.

    What really gets my goat is the idea that a well written and laid out set of instructions can be replaced with 10 hours of video showing mostly the scabby scalp of the narrator who fumbles the assembly and confuses the bejesus out of me.

    That sounds like IRL streaming on Twitch more than Youtube

    I agree with Bob. YouTube is about likes, subscription and Monetization. This means content producers are pushed to short punchy content without substance. A sugar diet.

    YouTube are for the most part self declared experts with a few weeks worth of experience and allot of self assurance. I have taught Woodworking to adults and secondary students. I have almost 15 years experience but I would never go on camera before millions declaring to know anything about Woodworking.

    YouTube algorithm is written to deliver ever more extreme content that’s why YouTube is a hotbed for Alt-right, hate groups, Nationalists and conspiracy quakes.

    There are exceptions the best one is a monster series of videos by windsor chair maker Curtis Buchanan. They were made as kind of a supplementary content to Peter Galberts the Chairmakers Notebook. Anyone who has even remote interest in Woodworking should watch them.

    https://m.youtube.com/user/curtisbuchanan52/playlists

    It’s like over several hours of video on building a single type of Windsor chair. It was produced for DVD but ended up giving away on ybecause the information was to valuable.

    By someone is a master at the craft with like 30 years experience. Very different to 24 year old Dave with his hipster beard and his chop saw making designer furniture.

    Ps. I was approached by a Vic Rail Officers asking if I wanted to do a 5 minute online survey I said no because it was online he said it is pretty much the same response he gets from most people. I feel that people are getting sick of the internet.

    Ps. Next year phones will be banned from Victorian government schools. You cannot imagine the joy that announcement has made in teacher staff rooms. We have been fighting social media, YouTube and Instagram for years and finally the government has made it law. Enough is enough.

    Having been involved in a head-on accident with other driver SMSing (ie head down while driving) the law I want to see is when a cop catches an eedjet driving while using a mobile the cop confiscates the phone for 28 days (or better still drives over the bloody thing).
    I reckon that would be WAAY more effective than a $500 fine.

    For those who are starting out, or time poor, or with too limited funds to attend a course, or just in need of a tip or trick to assist with a project , YouTube can be a great resource to help.

    Men's sheds aren't always convenient (or local) so this can be a useful alternative. The Nolan of feedback from the teacher ut would be less valuable than face to face guidance but it may be better than no guidance at all.

    This does assume though that you find the right people to guide.

    Aside from the above , it can be a good source of inspiration for the next project.

    There is the good and bad on YT and you soon learn to recognise it. The following is not all woodwork but they have good production and all are highly skilled at what they do. I think Clickspring would go close to top of the class for production values on YT.

    Project Binky - restoring a Mini and making it go faster, anyone who starts watching it will be amazed at the fabrication skills involved. Even non car people get hooked on it.


    The Sampson Boat Company - Rebuilding an old English pilot cutter, one word, brilliant, chain sawing like you haven't seen it done before is one aspect of a few episodes lately.

    Clickspring - He makes clocks and it is a lesson on how to produce informative and entertaining video with superb production values.

    Anyone who starts with "What's Up Guys" or similar I instantly switch off and anyone who uses a phone in portrait mode gets the same treatment. Frank Howarth's WW stuff is worth viewing if only for the trick camera work but he does not do it for educational purposes. Paul Sellers is an absolute gold mine of knowledge especially for beginner woodworkers and an absolute compulsory place to start your WW education knowing that he started with an apprenticeship and learned his trade to feed himself and family and not someone has been in it five minutes and wants show off what little skill they have. Paul has got one aim, help the beginner to learn basic skills.

    I agree with you, of course, but what really p's me off about those laws is how ambiguous they are regarding pulling over.

    If I get an sms and I think it might be important I pull over, put the car in park and answer it, but depending on who you ask that may or may not be legal. I may have to turn off the engine. I may need the parking brake on aswell, I may need to remove the keys from the ignition.

    I really wish they would sort that the f out. And also the ambiguity around gps, hands free etc. I don't actually care what they decide just make it clear, simple and consistent.

    The trouble with youtube is if you are not an expert how do you tell the difference between a dangerous idiot and someone with a clue ? And where do you find that sweet confluence between expertise and watchability... You might be good at making it, but do I want to watch you make it ? My personal problem is I can't keep up. I find a web page with pics and instructions far easier to follow....

    Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?

    A good book will kick the excrement out of any YouTube video.

    To know the good from the bad. Start with all of Hayward then move to Ernest Joyce's The Technique of Furniture Making (Michael Fortune uses this as his reference book - he says always finds the answer in Joyce.) then the Impractical Cabinet Maker so you know we’re you sit. Then practice, practice and practice, the same thing again and again, learn it inside and out and then when you know it backwards. Then take your next step. People are always chasing the next cool thing without ever mastering anything.
