DIY on youtube

[John Rumm]

Prompted by another thread, what youtube channels do you rate for general DIY / Making / "of interest to our mindset" do you rate highly and why?

For shear "can do" attitude, and a willingness to tackle any problem, SV Seeker:

Doug builds a 76" steel junk rigged research vessel sail boat in his front garden. He started 6 years ago, with flat plates of steel!

(if you like project Binky, you will probably like that)

Jimmy DiResta, for an ability to work with any material, using a huge range of skills and produce good looking results:

Izzy Swann: for some really off the wall ideas and crazy jigs and techniques... like making a wooden bowling ball using only a table saw:

The good news is there are lots of good diy channels. Workshop skills seem to still be popular in America. Good electronics is harder to find, it's mainly basic beginners stuff.

Another good one with some quite good humorous moments:

And for a very down to earth home grown take:

Don t get me started on the beekeeping uploads. Suffice it to say there are a few sensible ones, as to the rest.......

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

doesn't have the humour of big clive ....

[John Rumm]

True, but his technical information is spot on pretty much without fail IMO. Also has some good experimental investigations on common electrical questions.

For entertainment value Ave is good:

(you may need the Ave to english dictionary though!)
