    I pictured Derek in tights, and my mouse froze. It would not go to YouTube.

    Some of you might like Nick Pedulla’s channel - He’s in Sydney and I think it’s called Pedulla Studio. Basically no talking/voiceover, very nice pro shop, very high level custom commission work, beautiful design and execution.

    Ishitani will always be my favorite, I think.

    I'm excited to view some more recommendations people have! Keep 'em coming!
    I really enjoy Guy Dunlap (GuysWoodshop), though he took a position at an Indy company a few years ago and hasn’t put out much content since then. On Instagram he posts fairly regularly about what he’s building or a part of at work.
    I like Sawyer Design too

    There is useful information found in furniture restorers, such as Scott Bennett/Fixing Furniture, and Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration.

    Rob Cosman offers good, sound advice on furniture construction and traditional joinery, but one had to ignore the sales pitches.

    Phil Lowe has a few videos on using handtools. He passed away a few years ago now, but must be ranked among the best teachers.

    Sampson Boat Co. This is the restoration of a sailboat, and is filled with interesting joinery and working in out-of-square situations. Lots of power and handtool content. Highly recommended. Start at the beginning (about 3 years ago now) and you will be hooked!

    Ishitani. A relaxing look at building Mid Century/Japanese influenced furniture with Western joinery using mostly power and some hand tools in a rural setting in Japan.

    Doucette and Wolfe Furniture Makers. Stunning furniture, complex builds, inspiring power and hand tools, beautifully filmed.

    Mike wanted to know if any of us here had a channel. I do, but it is for die-hards who will ignore my sex appeal and concentrate on the techniques I demonstrate. I imagine doing a search for my name would get you there. Don’t blame me - I warned you!

    Regards from Perth

    I want to second Derek's shout-out for Sampson Boat Company. My wife and I have been watching it faithfully since the first episode (an episode is published every 2 weeks). The shipwright work is first rate, particularly the joinery. It's not a 'how to' channel. Basically it shows people building a large wooden boat. And it's utterly fascinating. I'd also like to point out that the project is financed almost entirely through the patronage of a huge world-wide YouTube audience. No YouTube, no boat. Other channels I enjoy (and I confess a preference for old time craftsmanship--must be my age): Engels Coach Shop; Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration; and, finally, from film shot in Ireland in the 70's, Old Irish Craftwork--I proudly count myself among their 815 subscribers. And, as mentioned by several others, I find watching Ishitani a meditative experience.

    When I used to work for a high budget design/build outfit I wished they would make a reality tv show out of it. The craftsmanship was worth filming, but the opera bouffe aspects of client and subcontractor relations and design development would have made a hit.

    Another vote for Samson Boat Company, Engel's Coach Shop, and Thomas Johnson. Excellent content and no sales pitch of any kind.
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.

    I really don't have any favorites, but will say that I have weeded through a lot of what I call "Tool Whores". They do this to gain tools for themselves with very little content to offer. Then they all go to a "live" broadcast to answer questions that many times they know very little about. Who has time to watch such blather. I rather be out in the shop making something instead of wasting my time watching.

    Reading this thread has been interesting. I have been thinking about doing a video series this winter showing all the steps of building a banjo, and reading what people like and don't like about different channels is helpful. I did a text and pictures version of this back in 2017 on Banjo Hangout, but now that I have moved and have better internet upload speeds I could join the 21st century. So far my YouTube channel has been solely used for demonstrating instruments I built, so customers can see if they like the sound before they buy, but it seems like it might be fun to try something more demanding.

    Zachary, I think there is a lot of value in producing that kind of material if you can put the time and effort into it. It's not easy to get the "pace" sometimes and you have to also carefully decide what you absolutely need to show, what would be nice to show and what really isn't necessary for your intended audience. There's also the "live voice audio" vs voice over decision. That said, I'd watch in a heartbeat..even though I'm not a banjo guy, I enjoy learning about all kinds of instrument construction.

    I'll add Epic Woodworking/Tom McLaughlin and Squarerule Furniture with a +1 for Ishitani, Doucette & Wolfe, Kobeomsuk and Curtis Buchanan. Phil Lowe's "Art of Woodworking" series on Youtube is very good as are all of his videos on FWW

    I'm happy and a little surprised at some of the channels listed. I thought I was the only one who watched some of them.
    Here are some that I did not see listed, sorry if there are repeats. These sites are not for everyone but I always learn something even when it's not my favorite
    here is a variety

    I should add that I posted two slideshows for some woodturners years ago. These are simple step-by-step follow along photos of the segmented construction method I used.

    Maybe one day when I have more time and space I will make proper videos
