Title: Favorite YouTube channels
Post by: robear on July 05, 2013, 08:41:22 AM
I've seen a few threads and replies over the last few days about favorite/subscribed YouTube channels.   I have recently become (slightly) addicted to a few YouTube channels and now have a modest dozen or so subscribed channels.     I'm just wondering how many good ones I was missing?  
To get this started, I'll post a list of my current subscribed channels:

Keith Fenner (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDmxnPem-pPfJQATIkfgY2Q)
  -machinist, runs an old-school job shop in Cape Cod.  Great videos, some that are HOURS long (in multiple parts)
EricTheCarGuy (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_q-UNDJeEBSHqKzAP_8x_A)
  -auto mechanic, excellent quality videos.  Very informative
doubleboost (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iubxTqtZ1GKUQTrz4-CXw)
  -machinist/hobbyist, built a jet powered go-cart.   From England.   A bit hard to get used to the accent, but fun videos.
ETCG1 (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa7guRnhniICnS0mJbSDmMg)
  -same guy as EricTheCarGuy above, more conversational/car repair business-related videos
numberphile (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoxcjq-8xIDTYp3uz647V5A)
  -A Brady Haran channel, discussions on numbers and mathematical um.. stuff..   A lot is WAY above my head, but I still find it fascinating.
periodicvideos (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtESv1e7ntJaLJYKIO1FoYw)
  -Another Brady Haran channel, most of them featuring elements from the periodic table.  (hence the name!)   The crazy-haired professor is a hoot!
gloveandboots (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1qC39KQoTG6LqgL_YnjSSQ)
  -Kind of a YouTube muppets channel.   Found them by accident and can't wait for their next video.  Thor is a RIOT.   So is Johnny T!
AgentJayZ (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh57rwk3ySElDpzgCDLh9KA)
  -Jet engine mechanic from Canada.    LOTS of very interesting (to me, anyway) stuff about turbine engines.
Ben Krasnow (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCivA7_KLKWo43tFcCkFvydw)
  -Overall super genius.   Multiple topics, from hybrid jet engines to automatic cookie machines to x-ray machines. Guy makes his own aerogel!
FUNKER530 (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6xBhF4QYIPPF2_-ExZzd2w)
  -Iraq and Afganistan combat videos.   Lots of helmet cams.
JustPlanes (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr8T9rFNMB3tLAW2TSFZc2A)
  -um.. planes.
sixtysymbols (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvBqzzvUBLCs8Y7Axb-jZew)
  -Brady Haran again.    Physics and Astronomy.
SmarterEveryDay (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA)
  -Dustin makes great videos, and I always learn someting from each one.   How does a helicopter work, underwater slow-mo pistol and rifle videos...
Computerphile (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9-y-6csu5WGm29I7JiwpnA)
  -Brad Haran - Same vein as his other channels, just with a computer focus.

Your turn..

Guns, most of these are primarily channels focused around shooting and some info-
