How strange - I came here to see what others had recommended as worth watching as per Tibi's original question but once again it appears another thread completely unrelated to workshop safety is turning into a discussion about workshop safety.
You mean that’s not fascinating?!
 
Boatbuilding on Sollerön, Dalarna, Sweden.


Spoon carving in Sweden. She uses the drawknife significantly more and the knife less than the oldtimers did but otherwise she sticks closely to the tradition. Maybe she has hurt her wrist at some point in life and wants to put less strain on it.


Knife making in Kauhava, Finland. Birchbark handles.


Coopering in Australia


Traditional Swiss coopering


Spinning wheel making in Germany
HOW TO MAKE A SPINNING WHEEL
 
Some of these are great.
I have watched quite a few of "the Highland woodworker" episodes. The Highland Woodworker

There is a lot of advertising for the Highland woodworking store which is no surprise but the highlight of each episode is the "moment with a master" part where they interview some great woodworkers and showcase their work.
Sometimes there are decent little tips in the other parts too.

Turning using the traditional cutting techique. In the era of muscle powered lathes and super-expensive or non existant sandpaper no turner could afford to scrape when he could avoid it.

Using the old style round shanked skew and the bowl hook. Two very useful turning tools which most modern turners have forgotten about. The round shanked skew was reforged every time the flaring edge wore out.
