    U-Tube Videos

    I have watched all of William NG's videos. I picked up some good tips from him. Also, the videos are professionally done with no swearing or radios playing in the background, etc. I was wondering what are some of your favorite or most informative videos.

    I watch a ton of YouTube. It's where I've learned most of my skills. Here are some of my favorite channels:

    John Heisz - Lots of shop projects. Lots of tool building
    Crafted Workshop - Mostly modern furniture and shop projects
    Jay Bates - Tons of shop projects in his earlier videos. He's been really getting into hand tools lately
    The Wood Whisperer - I'm sure we all know who he is. All kinds of good stuff
    Fix This Build That - Lots of shop projects and easy furniture builds
    Home Made Modern - Modern furniture builds with minimal tools
    I Like to Make Stuff - CNCs, lasers, 3d printing, shop projects, automation
    Izzy Swan - the crap that guy comes up with blows my mind
    Jackman Works - focuses a lot on working with pallet wood. I watch a lot for the production value
    Shop Built - lots of shop projects

    I've watched several of William's videos and thought they were excellent too. I made his cross-cut sled and his box-joint jig and love them both.

    I watch a few of the above, when I have time. Another I didn't see on the list is The Homestead Craftsman. He has some good videos on building tables.

    I've met Bob, who likes to make stuff, in person a couple of times and he is a genuinely nice guy.

    John Heisz cracks me up.

    Too bad he doesn't do very many. He keeps promising to do more, then he takes months and months off.

    Tim -

    I like your list, and subscribe to many (including you).

    I’d add Jimmy Diresta, and Make Something with David Picuitto

    I hear ya. I'm betting he's not sitting around doing nothing though.

    Of course not, he's an instructor at a woodworking school. But unless you sit in his classroom, you don't get to see his work except through his rare YouTube videos.

    He’s probably getting paid a lot more to teach classes than to make YouTube videos. Can you blame him?

    He has to put food on the table too, and make said table.

    Good lists of channels though, thanks everyone.

    I like youtube, but it is tough to get recognized. I have wonderful commenters, and many have asked me to put together some higher quality videos since the majority of them are just quickly made with a cell phone.

    I wanted to do something more like Ishitani-san, whose videos are wonderful.

    My friend Tommy and I put together some videos, 4k (which were then uploaded in 1080), took about 6 hours to film for 10 minutes of video. We had a lot of fun making them, so no complaints there and they look cool on my web page. However...after so many requests the videos received so far 500~ views respectively.

    You guys are welcome to take a look:

    I didn't criticize him, I said it's too bad he didn't make more videos.
