Good YouTube videos

For 3D printer users check 'Maker's Muse'.

I've recently discovered and enjoyed "Inheritance Machining"

Pauls garage is a youtube contributor I discovered when trying to teach myself to cast metal He started as a novice and made many mistakes, but, he is now starting a series where he will build a lathe by Gingery. I believe he will be making most of the lathe by making his own patterns and moulds. He will be using the American equivalent of what we cal zl12. An aluminium/zinc alloy. I don't think he owns a lathe or mill, so it should be interesting. His presenting style is quirky, which I like. His early videos are well worth watching too.

It's probably widely known at this point, but I have to say Cutting Edge Engineering is pretty excellent, it's particularly interesting to watch how Curtis has really refined his workflow for jobs he does regularly, but actually takes you along for the ride when he's doing something out of his comfort zone.

alistairc123 is a similar viewing experience, albeit bit less polished in his presenting style, but if anything more impressive in the type and scale of work he does.

There's also a Taiwanese chap whose name eludes me but occasionally posts interesting videos of him running a 120" VBL or an Elgamill, which is also surprisingly good.

I particularly like the way all three don't make a big deal of things or labour the point on exposition and just crack on with some really very difficult work, on camera. The combination of fabrication and machining also appeals to me as compared to purely one or the other.

I like “Mr Factotum’s Workshop”. He has a series on building a Steam Loco from scratch and is currently building a Screw cutting Micro lathe from vintage castings plus many other interesting projects.
