I like that these guys aren't 120% ultra-experienced professionals, and they just do things the best they can with what they have. they make mistakes or cut corners sometimes, but you get to see how they do everything in a way that a normal person could do it. Jesse's videos have awesome music too.
I like Studpack, but man what a cluster they got themselves into with that slab. I bet the next video will have them drilling core samples. They jumped the gun and poured after it rained. They should have waited. You can't avoid the red tape like that. Dad studpack should have stepped in. He had to have known. Maybe he's letting his son learn the hard way.

HomeRenoVisionDIY is a Canadian boomer that has targeted vids on specific topics that aren't too bloated with shit and get somewhat to the point quickly if you need to know something or a basic gestalt on tips for something like sheetrock, sound deadening home during renovation, products you didn't know existed that are handy, etc. I don't follow his channel but whenever his vids popped up in my search I found them actually helpful.
HomeRenoVisionDIY is a frickin great channel. I used his "build a shed" series to figure out the roof design for my chicken coop.
Also I hate the "homesteader" channels that plague youtube. I don't want to see your artisan chicken coop that cost $1k in materials, takes a week to build, stretched over 20 min with frequent cuts to other aspects of your life that I have absolutely no interest in at all. All I want is a goddamn solid coop that I can make in a weekend for $300.
So yeah, apparently it turns out if that's what you want then just look up how to build a shed and then improvise a bit.
Clipboard holder who, while fun to listen to, is absolute shit at diy or anything really.
I assblasted him so hard by commenting “it’s amazing how you’re able to turn all stock material directly into scrap” and he shadowbanned me kek
I tried to watch his newest video. Within seconds he said electrocity and spangledammer. I can't imagine listening to several minutes of him trying to be cute.
I like him because he's went from being a moron acting like he's bot a moron to a moron acting like a moron ironically so people don't suspect him of being an actual moron. I still laugh thinking about when he was playing around with that one hand Sawzall for a few weeks. He was doing one of his unboxing videos and he pulled the saw out of nowhere and decided to unbox whatever it was by cutting it in half and I swear he broke whatever it was and faked like it wasn't. I'm pretty sure he had to go buy a new one and finished the video with that one. And he probably took it apart and broke it too.
>Glad to see Nile Red just posted a new video. Now to wait another 4 months for another.
watch explosion and fire
homie is currently doing his phd tho, so no vid
Tech Ingredients is a really cool channel but it's at the very edge of what I could consider 'diy'
the most DIY thing they've done is a compressorless air conditioner with high electrical efficiency
they also do shit with lasers, homemade drones, and a recent video on homemade flash graphene
you should check out Cutting Edge Engineering, the absolute pinnacle of machining on yt
He turned me on to distilling, and i made his "words best speakers". A friend of mine used his boat design and build tips for his own design. Id say hes quite DIY.
the graphine video i'm on the fence about, he explains how great graphine is and then graphine vs graphite, but me following along at home is thinking ok is it even possible then to exploit these properties? whats the point of a super material if its only any good when 1 atom thick. but he makes it and then demos it which is very impressive, but i'm left wondering what the actual construction of graphine is then , if its not layers like graphite which is shit, then its just a big mess? so perfect lattice actually isn't good at all then? if you can lift layers of graphine off graphite then why isn't graphine a superconductor?
maybe its out of scope for the video but i just found it a little out of sync with every other video where he seems to go out of his way to explain details.
presentation style wise hes top of the list cool guy cool channel.
I'd add DiodeGoneWild to the God tier, he's programming microcontrollers in assembly, great at analog circuitry and knows a lot about switch-mode and linear power supplies. He's made a lot of his tools himself.
Not that big a deal. I've done it for ages, and it's actually very simple, but excruciatingly tedious. If you have a mind for detail and organization it's fine, and gives you absolute control. But if you can do the same thing in a high level language, there's no reason to mess with assembly.
Now, if he's actually "great at analog circuitry", then that's awesome, in the sense of Bob Widlar's "any idiot can count to 1".
His analogue design is kinda ass, can't think of a single video of his where I'd agree with his engineering decisions.
Also he's the most unbearably accented esl ever, way worse than Great Scott. I'd rather he speak his native tongue with subtitles.

Dude's recent series about making his own cryocooler is interesting as hell.
Yeah he's great. Shows the learning process by fricking up a bit each episode, but it's still really damn informative.

DIY Perks does some really cool projects, and puts pretty good plans and guides in the descriptions; there's just something about his delivery that I don't like. The videos aren't amazing, but the content is.
While I really like the guy, the usb microphone circuit is midwit-tier EE. JFETs are not balanced devices, they are biased at the gate. The source and drain pins would present different gain levels, so the advantage of using a differential stage is completely lost. I'd have just used a good JFET-input op-amp or instrumentation amp from the get-go. With capacitance multipliers (or even zener/TL431 regulators) instead of RC filters.

That dude pisses me off, he’s a Milwaukee marketing rep but trying to act like he’s some objective contractor.
Wranglestar is a frickin gay too. Clicked on one of his videos once and it was like 45min of him complaining about the people who commented on his last video.
Wranglestar is comedic genius if you think about it. He makes stochastic shitposts like demonstrating how to assemble a pipe bomb titled "how to get even with a bully" https://youtube.com/shorts/dN643EEmzgY?feature=share3 and the entire thing is like an "in minecraft" PrepHole shitpost made into a video, but then he turns arounds and makes videos responding to random petty YouTube comments like some kind of out of touch boomer. I always get a laugh watching him. He started off a normie PrepHolegay and has slowly gone crazy and turned into a low-key schizoposter irl talking about minecrafting feds
>He started off a normie PrepHolegay and has slowly gone crazy and turned into a low-key schizoposter irl talking about minecrafting feds
He was unironically a Federal employee working for the Forest Service until he got shitcanned because he put out a video where some child (his son?) was wearing a hard hat with the Forest Service logo. I betting he’s always been an IRL schizoposter, and it was a good excuse to get rid of him.
I'm back on this guys side, not every vid is a winner and his frickin ascot makes me want to unsubscribe but I think the best is yet to come, so I'm acting accordingly.
oh shit the boat is actually in the water
i remember watching him i dont know how many years ago welding steel plates together to make a boat and thinking to myself this motherfricker is gonna die of a heart attack before his boat sees any water
based boomer
Probably not even really gay, if you’re an interior designer you have to look gay or you won’t get any gigs. Remember when Cliff on Cheers had to pretend to be gay to get that job? some things never change.

Not really/diy/
I frequently watch a channel called way out west
Pretty comfy channel where some old bum just experiments with stuff that he likes to make out of old equipment and machines
Thought Emporium just did a video on a homemade laser using genuine trash (microwave transformer, aluminum foil, highlighter pen ink) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv3DFTSs6NQ
and he's also got videos on synthetic opal, and a cloud chamber and a magnetron sputtering chamber - both also made of mostly random junk. A lot of his videos are hardcore genetic bioengineering - hardcore as in he modified a virus to inject a DNA string to edit his own genes and then ingested it, to cure his severe lactose intolerance - and they're not very DIY when you've got tens of thousands sunk into secondhand bio lab equipment
He did also put a magnet in his finger that lets him sense AC electricity which was cool; then youtube took it down because apparently a scalpel cutting ~1cm into a finger is just way too graphic. I think cody'slab at one point had a magnet implant too
It’s not diy necessarily but LetsDig18 does fort work and he’s a master at his craft. I have noticed that sometimes he digs holes without even looking at where the bucket is. It’s like the machine has become an extension of his psyche.
Under Dunn and his car channel Aging Wheels, since at one point it seemed like he made more shop renovation videos than car videos.
Infinity Mind DIY is decent autism content when he bothers to make a video
youtube used to be a place where people would just post neat, weird, funny videos
now people post videos to feed the algorithm and now it's all just contrived, soulless content.
in the past year it has gotten so bad that just this week I deleted my youtube account.
it sucks bros, that account was made in 2006.
greed ruins all good things
Those videos and channels still exist; they're just buried under people who make videos specifically to game the algorithm. You can use a website like Invidious or an app like NewPipe to escape the algorithm and only see videos from specific channels, or get recommendations based on the current video instead of your watch history. I'm looking into getting a browser plugin working that lets you filter any content on yt posted after a certain date, hopefully both videos and comments. Every once in a while I go on a 2006-2011 video binge and man what a ride that is.
Unfortunately youtube is now trying to copy tiktok and twitch at the same time, trialing significant anti-adblock measures, and is also probably going to crack down on API abuse like invidious/newpipe in the same way reddit is currently moving.

Seen a few of Jesse Muller's videos and he kind of seemed rude towards his kids? Only seen a few videos though.
