I love to watch wood working videos, some for entertainment, some for production value, some to learn technique and some just to steal ideas from the background for the shop. The youtube landscape has become so large it is hard to see even .1% of the wwing vids so I thought maybe we could keep a thread where people could post interesting ones they found. Ill start it off with a few:
I like Frank Howarth's stuff, great production value and machines worth looking at:

I meant to put it in the first post but forgot when you have a reply window up look at the icons in the tool bar for the one that looks like a film strip, it it the one beside the picture icon with a tree. Click on it then copy and paste the URL.

Will someone please explain to me how these young guys are able to buy all those Festools?
I mean really. Watching some of these videos with a guy who is maybe 30 and he has a stack of Festool sustainers taller than he is, is starting to get to me.

I think there are a lot of potential factors (not sure which apply to Timothy)
1. Timothy is in Belgium and tradesmen get paid MUCH better in the EU than the US and he is a full time woodworker
2. Some youtube content creators are sponsored by tool manufacturers
3. he IS young, I remember one of my law school profs telling us we had more disposable income then than we would in 20 years, while I can't say it was an objective fact I certainly found out what he meant, with age may come money but it also comes with an ever increasing set of responsibilities
4. simply priorities
5. in the EU they don't have a lot of cheap tools available, even the mid-level brands we get as disposable prices (Dewalt, Milwaukee etc) are more expensive there where Festool is less expensive there than here, Festool in the EU is kinda like Dewalt here, you see lots of yellow in tradesmen's trailers here, you see a lot of green in their vans there.
While I have no idea about Timothy there are content creators in the woodworking/DIY arena making $10K a month (and more) on this "side hustle". I have discussions with some in my peer group and hear the "these millennials..." my response is often "yeah some of these lazy kids are making more money than you are" Mr. 9-5.
Another while I am here: Seth Roland If anyone is interested FWW did a little piece on the ash "fan table" a few years back it described the technique. FYI just looked it up it is August 2010 #213

The BenchWork video is impressive. The organization and cleanliness of his shop and efficiency of his processes indicate to me he has incorporated some lean manufacturing workflow and 5 S principles into his business. The lack of clutter, everything in it's place, even the labeling of the fastener drawer compartments for easy identification show he has been striving for the lean goal of continuous improvement. I like the simple boom he created for his d/c hose and the long horizontal slot in the front of the workbench for quickly clamping work pieces. Lots of inspiration here, thanks for sharing the video and starting the thread.

I have yet to decide if buying Festool brings out OCD in regards to shop organization or if people with shop OCD gravitate to Festool...
One of my favorite workbench vids, while it is in German you can glean a lot of ideas and the plans are available from the German Magazine. BTW the magazines channel has a lot of interesting videos.

I'm 32 and have a collection of Festool that's taller than I'm along with powermatic, sawstop, jet and Oneida tools. I use my tools for hobby use and make no money off of it. I'm sure I'm not the only one either, so what about it that's getting to you?

Bob Vaughan in a classic 1994 video on how to actually setup a planer. It has saved me a LOT of headaches over the years.

Here's one where a guy demonstrates his method of compound cutting a cabriole leg on the bandsaw, and what he does is partial cuts so he doesn't have to take the time to tape back the offcuts, which is the way I have always done it. As fate would have it I'm in the middle of building a table with compound curved legs, tried his method and it worked like a charm, saved me a bunch of time and hassle taping back off cuts, breaking up my rhythm at the bandsaw.
Not the most professionally produced or photographed video, but it gave me a technique that made me a better woodworker, so thumbs up!

Just about any video made by Jimmy Diresta. A search for his name brings up more than can be watched. He seems to have hundreds of videos on YouTube. Mostly woodworking or woodworking related, but he is a master at combining wood and metal in some of his projects. One of his shops was in the basement with a stairway that opened to the sidewalk in the city. He is from NY so probably this shop was in NYC where everything made as well as his materials had to go up and down through metal sidewalk doors to or from a double parked truck.

Crazy talented. Totally agree- his videos are well done.

The Curtis Buchanan series of videos on Windsor chair making is in my opinion outstanding. I have never made a Windsor chair. I may never make a Windsor chair. Still I have learned a ton of useful tips, work methods, etc., just from watching the videos.

As an addendum to the last post I wanted to post a search vs a single video:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23rocklerplywoodchallenge
The Rockler single sheet of ply challenge started a while back and there are some really thoughtful entries, it the brainchild of the Modern Maker pod cast which did a 2x4 challenge a while back . Tables, chairs, shelves, bowls, entertainment centers and all manner of ther things. Those against the recent movement to exposed plys might be offended by a lot of the videos but I am enjoying many of them.

I really enjoyed the first time I saw the Making a Jarvi Bench:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3utt2Y5aH0
I've seen some posts on another forum critical of the video, but I liked it -- from the morning coffee to using the sawmill as the key tool and his jigs. (I will admit to wincing at the usual internet forum triggers--dust, blade guards, and running bark through the jointer.)

I remember him saying that. I think it was in his 5 cuts crosscut sled video and he was talking about the guys that only have one tablesaw rather than having a second saw set up to cut dadoes. He's a funny guy and sharp too. I've learned a lot and enjoy his videos.

I know we’ve al seen the SawStop hot dog videos, but this is the best one I’ve seen so far.
In addition to the 19k FPS that it’s taken at, Jonathan Katz SHOVES a hot dog into the blade — like if your hand got pulled into the blade by a kickback.
Also very interesting weld breaks on a dado blade.

This was shared by others on this forum and is a big help for adjusting bandsaws.
An even better video is by Michael Fortune where he shows how to align the fence to the miter slot and the table to the blade. Since I did that my band saw tracks perfectly no matter which blade I put on it.
