David Bull: Japanese woodblock printer. Very calming old dude carving wood and making prints and telling stories about his life in Japan.

Ha Threep, I watch a Japanese guy who cleans and repairs guitars.. one hour videos, says nothing but it's really soothing to watch. Some of those guitars are the filthiest things I've ever seen, a proper health hazard.

Harry's Garage is the best car channel going at the moment imo. Really great mix of in-depth vintage restoration stuff, and real world modern car reviews.
Forgotten Weapons. I have zero general interest in guns but still enjoy watching this guy give me painstakingly detailed history of prototype military trials guns from 1926.
James Hoffman for coffee nerdery
John Rogers is a guy who does walks round London and talks about history, enjoy his videos.

Yeah, I've seen James Hoffman. My uncle was a coffee "collector" which I thought was a really weird hobby, he was very proud of some that was more valuable than gold and I think the beans had been through some birds digestive system... He only gave me Nescafe..

+1 for David Bull. Amazed that someone else on here watches, can't remember how I became aware of him. There's a touch of Bob Ross about him. Love his Twitch channel too.

I'll admit I have watched Harry's Garage but I don't love the channel, I think he waffles a bit. Taking the Land Rover Defender to France was the most recent one I watched.
The two boys on Salvage Rescue (Rob & Chris) crack me up (I'm not sure they intend to be but they're really funny)

ahh ok. I have seen a bit of sovcit stuff, but it gets a bit samey.
Fast forward to the moment where the Cop runs out of patience, smashes the drivers window in and the sovcit starts screaming and crying. Thumbs up.

RR, there was one on VanBalion last week that was hilarious. The cops started playing SovCit bingo with the guy and he couldn't understand what was so funny.. I think they broke his brain.

Pancakes, I've seen some of the post 10 vidoes. They are good but he does tend to go on a bit in the more recent ones.
Eddie, apparently they got divorced. I think there is a note about it on one of the tabs on his youtube page. Will check out Jago Hazard thanks.

Map Men don't post frequently enough (they're connected to Geoff Marshall through the Londonist).
Thanks Windy, was wondering if she was on the market.... lol. Oh, there's a good channel from the London Transport Museum, I think it's called "hangouts" where they explore the hidden parts of tube stations (for the ultra nerdy to be fair but often interesting)

Also amazed that someone else knows him! Was it the 'remembering a carver' video put in your recommendations by the YT algorithm by any chance?

Well he is a good ol' southern boy so that wouldn't surprise me but I think he's quite conscious now of not opining that much on matters of national US politics (apart from 2A obviously) and instead just having a pop at California.

I watch quite a lot of silent hiking stuff, either to reminisce about hikes done or get a feel for future ones. Some of the stuff shot on good kit in 4k looks stunning on a decent OLED TV. Normal TV can't really compete.
E.g. Kraig Adams, who doesn't talk over the main bit of the video but does give useful info at the end about doing the hikes yourself.
Will be trying to do this one in a single day in about a month's time:

Buzz, I have a feeling you'd like Todd in the Shadows (One hit wonders and Trainwreckords). He doesn't post enough but he's brilliantly sarcastic and funny.
Dave's World of Fun Stuff (guitar repairs).. he was funnier when he was clearly smoking a lot of weed.. but still funny
@HighGuise.. Watch "the United Stand" As a Liverpool supporter, I never miss an episode of him melting down. It's the funniest thing on the internet. The 7 nil beating last season was particularly good.

Could’ve been that or one of the “David’s choice” episodes.
Not only is he very engaging to listen to, it’s rare to come across anyone with that level of enthusiasm and joy in a subject. It’s an antidote.
