The man kept trying to steer me away but I finally got back to where I belong. What's your YouTube happy place?

Right now I'm digging The Cheiftan, a tank show, by a retired tanker. Lots of walk around and history. Rex's Hangar and Ed Nash's Military Matters delve into completely obscure aircraft, with lots of British, French, and Russian aircraft.
Puddin's Fab Shop and South Main Auto are my guilty pleasures.
The ones I watch as soon as I see them are This Old Tony and Mark Novak/Anvil Gunsmithing.
Breadstick ricky and the boss. I work with those guys.....
The Beau Chateau and Uncharted X for me right now. Bourbon Moth and Keith Johnson Woodworking too.
Cutting Edge Engineering, ICWeld, m539, Nate the Hoof Guy, Blacktail Studio.

Glad to see someone else on here likes to watch Puddin.
I always love Home Built By Jeff, AvE, Allen Millyard, and Vintage Underground.
The Alfarrari is an awesome project, and Jeff does everything himself, isn't afraid to screw up, and is always improving and growing his skills, a GRM hero! AvE is hilarious and entertaining, and his experience in remote mining/logging camps shines through and it seems like he knows endless dubious practical fixes for just about everything. Millyard's custom engine configurations are really impressive, and show what can be accomplished with a file, hacksaw, a little finish machining, and a crazy vision. Vintage Underground is a very cool local shop who always has jaw-dropping projects done to an impeccable standard. The shop tour videos feature a mix of drool-worthy exclusive cars plus some drool-worthy unexpected cars being rebuilt to the highest standard, but with a very simple and unassuming presentation.
Oh yeah, also Driving for Answers and FortNine. The former contains such great explanations and really interesting technical details, and the latter is brilliantly-produced and very entertaining.
Adam Neeley for total music nerdality.
Doctor Mix for music enthusiasm.
My Mechanics for wordless perfection.
Colin Furze I do not need to explain.

Ah, yes. Fortnine is a must-see.
Kind of a guilty pleasure, must-watch is Sleeperdude. The neighbors you're not sure you want to have, yet kinda do. Junk cars aplenty. A garage that is never clean nor organized. Goats wandering the property. But a sweet family that embraces their Dollar General status and has a ton of fun working on junk together. I despise motor homes, yet I just watched several hour long episodes of them basically rebuilding one from the floor up. Now with subtitles, so you can understand Josh's wife. 
Pole Barn Garage, when you are in the mood for dry, self-depracating humor by a guy who is waaaay too much like the participants here.
my least favorite thing about youtube is youtube.
but..
Andre the farmer.

"self sufficient me"

lots of knowledge on growing tropical plants and other "permaculture" stuffs.
Fortnine is indeed a gem of a channel, as is my mechanics. Watching him spin up his lathe is a very soothing way to fall asleep lol. Some others that I watch enthusiastically:
Aging Wheels for oddball car projects and a lot of enthusiasm
Superfast Matt for oddball projects, fabrication tips, and excellent dry humor
Westin Champlin for oddball projects and goofy fun
NIGHTRIDE for the vibes (and some oddball projects)
Look Mum No Computer for oddball projects, just not of the automotive type
Donut Media for the oddballs.

Wow man! Thank you. That is really great to hear.
If you are ever near Eugene hit me up for the grand tour of our facilities. I try to stay hidden in the videos but I am the shop foreman.

I met him at sick week '22 while he was running his rx7 topless convertible with a real deal 13b backed by a tremec tko600.
Now he's building a hardtop tx7 with a 25.3 or 5 sfi chassis. I believe his goal is to run 7's in a drag-n-drive with a stick.

Eric used to be one of my clients, small world.
I have been taking a deep dive down the back catalog of Wesley Kagan He makes me wish I paid more attention in school
I am a regular watcher of Retropower because they are what I am pushing Vintage Underground to be
Wesley Treat has a great sense of style in his design work
Pat Finnerty takes the piss with "What makes this song stink" series. A comical breakdown of why certain songs suck so much
Throttle stop garage is there to remind me that always following "best practices" can lead to project stall and that I want nothing to do with composites. Love the dude and his project though.
CaLem to show how much can be done with few resources
VinyB is just awesome
Jay Foreman specifically the "Map Men" series of videos
History Matters is one I will watch almost immediately. It helps the videos are rarely longer than 4 min. although his older 10 Minute History series is fun to watch. Sometimes you have to go back and pause parts in order to read stuff hidden in the video. He is a master.
For pure GRM'ness, our own Doc Brown has a channel: Robot Cantina. Interesting how his home page has a picture of the Spitfire he sold to me nearly a decade ago.

Damn dude! Are we related? CEE, ICWeld and Nate are in my top 5.
I'm going to have to check out Blacktail Studio. I've always wanted a sawmill.
Whistlin Diesel always cracks me up.
Camping with Steve is super entertaining in a great Canadian way.
Watch Wes Work is pretty fun considering I know where he is from.
GCN is easy enough to watch when you don't wanna pay attention to anything.
