Watching Trades on YouTube

[Adrian Caspersz]

Instead of actually getting on and doing some of my own stalled projects, like insulating the water tank and loft, and denying squirrels their luxurious winter home under our roof, I follow some YouTube channels on folks that are;

- Electricians

- Woodworkers

- Metal workers

- Builders

- Car Mechanics

- Driving Instructors

- Computer hardware fanatics

Some are experts, some are idiots, some are entertaining whatever.

Occasionally the google algorithm finds me another topic, and I'm travelling along another rabbit hole. like er, weird methods of cooking.

Such fun ... DIY suggestions anyone?

I don't know about DIY, but it can be amusing and fascinating watching some gun nut channels.

I started watching "taufladermaus" for the weird mercury and test-tube videos, then it branched into being a weird ammo channel, I still watch it, but that causes to youtube to recommend all manner of other gun channels, which I try to avoid ...

What is the fascination of guns? I never really got that. When it boils down to it, there are few legitimate uses for them. Brian

There is a radio Ham in the UK who has got an old crane and uses it to put his aerials up as well. I guess because its movable and he can bring them down, he never needs planning consent for some of the rather large self built offerings. I also recall seeing weird tree climbing competitions from America, about as interesting as watching paint dry.

According to the Westerns I watch *an equaliser*. Such that the knowledge, skills and physical size of an opponent are matched.

Packing more powder into the cartridge may be related to male performance elsewhere:-)
