Looks like we are all locked up for the next month so how about a thread where we all share YouTube channels that are worth checking out. Don’t feel limited to Blinky flashy channels like CanispaterChristmas.
There are lots of other interesting channels out there so share them and broaden our horizons

When you share a channel please give us a couple of sentences explaining what the channel is all about.

Some of mine are:

Karma Comment Chameleon - reading out a heap of Reddit posts if things like I Dont Work Here Lady, Petty Revenge, Pro Revenge and more. Dont need to watch, just listen

Dash Cam Owners Australia - Australian car crashes, near misses, or just strange things on Dashcam

Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care - I enjoy watching the way to do commercial lawn care, but loads of tips on getting things looking good very easily with things we usually use at home

Dan's Vlog - again a lawn care vlog with tips on mowing. More commercial based, but still interesting to listen to

HeatPressNation - heat pressing, vinyl, sublimation and more. I am getting into this, so it's interesting

Walk off the Earth - fun music group

I watch a fairly eclectic mix of stuff. Some for education, some for just plain entertainment. A number of my favourites are already on the lists above.
Lockpicking and security
Bosnian Bill. Lockpicking videos which generally have an analysis of the locks.

Lockpicking Lawyer. Extraordinarily gifted lockpicker who very often shows the major deficits in lock designs

Deviant Ollam. Physical penetration expert. If you think a building, lock or near anything is secure he'll show you how wrong you are.

Engineering of all sorts
Engineering Explained. Car technology from internal combustion to electric and whiteboard analysis of numbers involved

Project Farm. Tests and compares all sorts of things like oils, tapes, filters, additives and near anything you suggest.

Hambini. He's an aerospace engineer with a passion for cycling and a part time business making and fitting bottom brackets for bikes <language warning>

Mark Rober. Former NASA engineer who produces all sorts of stuff. It's quite possible that you've seen his prank where he sets up people stealing packages

The B1M. A construction channel that showcases all things building from skyscrapers to tunnels

Cycling
Global Cycling Network. If you cycle you probably already know it. Mainly a bunch of former pro cyclists talking all sorts of cycling topics

Oz Cycle. A South Aussie based who who produces some good cycling stuff.

Firewood
Firewood processors. Not an actual channel but a collection of videos that I have found that have standout features for cutting and splitting firewood.
