Who are your favorite tech youtubers

If “tech” as in “computers and programming” I find quality content that isn’t super-monetisable (IE, about games, or product reviews for gamers) is very difficult to find. Too many people who think the video should be about themselves, or just unedited recordings of people programming which I find unwatchable.

But there’s some interesting stuff not already listed in this thread:

• Dave Ackley one of those guys with a different idea about where computing could go, and his efforts to proof it out. Much better than the unhinged ranting that usually accompanies a unique perspective on computation.
• Maxime Chevalier she doesn’t post often, but she’s always doing something interesting. One of those people that might invent / stumble upon something that improves all our lives some day.

But if I include “technical” in a wider engineering sense:

• Allen Millyard does impressive things (mostly around motorbike engines) in his backyard shed and then has tea.
• Applied Science infrequent but good videos about making things.
• Chronova Engineering metalworking for ants.
• Clickspring amazing quality metalwork, mostly around a long-term construction of an Antikythera mechanism using period correct tools.
• Cutting Edge Engineering mechanical and machining work, but everything is 4x the size you’re used to because of the mining industry. Great channel.
• Easy composites they’re shilling product, but also meaningfully showing you how to make stuff.
• Explosions & Fire a mad scientist PhD student doing interesting chemistry in a shed in the outback somewhere.
• Nile Red more chemistry, but in a lab and usually with a goal of making something fun.
• Great Scott Making with electronics at home. Good stuff in there.
• Inheritance Machining old-fashioned machining on the lathe and mill, mostly.
• Integza mad scientist content from Portugal, mixed with occasional fruit bigotry.
• Lottie the Tank Whisperer entertaining young lady restoring old-ass tanks in a shed in the outback somewhere.
• Not an Engineer a newish, but promising channel on machining.
• Practical Engineering more documentary than tutorial, but with good explanations and models.
• Tech Ingredients I think this guy is the R&D department for the Canadian DoD.

Cars and bodywork:

• Astill Design some walkarounds at car shows, mixed in with hands-on useful tutorials on car building from a legend in the Strayan car scene. Criminally underrated.
• Backshed IMO the greatest car channel. This guy picks up old classics and shitboxes from wreckers and paddocks, and somehow brings them back to registerable state (no mean feat here). Full of strayan character and useful tips for getting by in a shed that might not always have the right tool for the job, focused on practical work rather than show work.
• Bad Obsession these guys are offensively british, but show more detail about their process than anybody else, as well as overengineering everything. Unfortunately this means it takes them 5 years to build a car.
• Bennetts Customs Co Canadian guy (I think) located in Australia, building rods. Mostly body and metalwork content.
• Fitzee’s Fabrications Another Canadian, with excellent tutorial-oriented content on bodyworking and rust-repairs.
• I Do Cars Adam Sandler moonlights as a wrecker, tearing down bad engines to show how things work and what killed them.
• Make it Kustom this guy (another Canuckistani) is basically the metal-whisperer. Tutorials on all sorts of old-fashioned hot rodding techniques as well as traditional metal forming and custom-tooling.

Misc:

• Fixing Furniture Does what it says on the tin.
• Nerdforge young borkborks making great (usually sculptural) art and documenting it.
• Townsends practical tips for next time it’s 1785; excellent production and a million times more interesting than it should be. Consistently, for years. One of YouTube’s best channels.
