I feel like the YouTube algorithm is delivering worse recommendations than it used to. I’ve recommended these channels privately before - so here’s a list of makers that I think are worth watching!
Woodworking
- @PaskMakes - multitalented fellow with enormous patient for more complex projects. Has been wonderful to see his skills grow over the years
- @Foureyes.Furniture - hipster furniture making
