Bradshaw Joinery has become a firm favourite of mine. Very watchable and you get a very comprehensive walk through of making all sorts. The Better Half is away so I, as what feels like a right of passage, watched his door build video last night on the telly. It's 90 minutes long!
 
Saw this and I thought you guys might like it:

A single piece of timber! :shock:
 
Another good channel -

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm8CRH ... dbA/videos

Only found this tonite, does long videos so you've been warned, but explains pretty much everything that's going on, with "tips" being thrown in as he uses them.

His three daughters (plus others) also help with builds which is nice to see.

Has a facebook community you can join as well with over 19,000 members, all woodworkers, all skill levels. (have already applied.)

Does anyone watch Uri Tuchman?

Oh yes. Definitely in the "very entertaining for the wit and craftsmanship" end of the spectrum, not for simple to follow standard woodworking. But one of the very best in that style.

I think it's an interesting, but depressing contrast to compare one of his videos (non specialist filmmaker, on his own) with the sort of drivel found on mainstream TV (The Repair Shop etc).

I know which one I prefer!
 
I am not a fanatic hand tool woodworker but I think that Matt Estlea has totally nailed Youtube.
He is a young guy with good skills and creates good and interesting content that will bring him in an income from google for many years to come.
 
I've always been interested in the idea of making videos, but I've never been sure whether there would be an audience for what interests me like the heavier machine work and architectural joinery. The only real one in that sort of line I've seen so far is Bradshaw Joinery.

I suppose videos that involve working with hand tools are fairly accessible to the average person as it's perceived to be very safe, not noisy and you can do it in the spare room of your house kind of thing. I can see how possibly a spindle moulder or a table saw would terrify the average person and make them disinterested.

Only one way to find out; start a channel, make some videos, put them out there. Seriously, nobody on YouTube has ever been ‘sure’ that their videos will find an audience - If you have something to share that isn’t already being covered then go for it. [THUMBS UP SIGN]
 
I’d love to hear more Brummie accents on YouTube. Mind you, I am from Smethwick.

My favourite Brummie accent moment doesn’t even need sound...

Oh my god

Brilliant ! When I clicked on thumbs up, it went from 11K to 12K :D

+1 for Bradshaw, no idea why his channel hasnt grown loads
 
Youtube recommended this video from Badger Workshop to me, I'm sure he's been mentioned here before but I thought it was worth a watch:

Also if restorations are your thing, Geoffrey Crocker has some cracking series' on restoring an Elliot pillar drill, another on a Myford ML7 and even one on restoring his Landrover which is still ticking over. Uploads are few and far between but they're great.
