General / Off-Topic Recommended YouTube channels

[insanephoton]

Seeing as many of us have suddenly got a lot of spare time , what youtube channels do you like and recommend?

I'll start with some with large back catalogues
If you have any interest in tanks and armoured vehichles, the Tank Museum is a good place to start. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTankMuseum
Another good one for tanks and stuff is the Cheiftain https://www.youtube.com/user/TheChieftainWoT

If firearms is more your thing Forgotten Weapons is hard to beat https://www.youtube.com/user/ForgottenWeapons

Ever wondered about how secure your locks are? Watch the Lock Picking Lawyer. He's probably not the best to learn the basics from, but he's scarily impressive. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ

 

[Robin of Spiritwood]

All good choices.

I like making stuff, and punk rock soundtracks, so Colin Furze inventions is fun to watch. Take a look at his hover bike series here.

www.youtube.com

Norm' is under-rated, Will is tolerable (and easily ignored) but the highlight is definitely watching Adam Savage's boundless enthusiasm and practical attitude toward building stuff.
Sometimes their chatty video's are a bit "progressive" for my tastes but it's always a joy to watch Adam tinkering wih stuff in his workshop.
I really like that Adam has no formal experience with the tools he uses and he often doesn't do things "correctly" but that only shows that there's more than one way to get stuff done as long as you apply some brain-power.
