Alec Steele - A hyperactive Brit makes swords in Montana

Invitica - essays on ancient civilizations

Wintergarten - a Swede in France making a musical marble machine to millisecond precision. Good project management tips are included.

Man At Arms ReForged - Baltimore swordsmiths make ridiculous videogame sized swords that are mostly unusable.

EDIT: A few others

Bon Appetite's "Brad Makes": A New Jerseyian mumbles his way through fermenting anything edible. Frequent field trips ensue.

Kiwami Japan: A very very strange Japanese man makes the same knife, over and over, from various materials such as jello, underwear, and pasta. ASMRy.

Primitive Technology: The journey of a mute, nearly naked QLD programmer in the forest and his attempts to make a nuclear reactor from local mud. Turn on English subtitles.

Contrapoints: A trans PhD dropout comments on current issues through the lens of grad-level philosophy and copious innuendo. Impeccable set design and pacing.

You can't mention Brad from Bon Appetite and not mention "Half-sour Saffitz"! She recently got brought back onto the team to continue her "Professional chef makes oreos/twizzlers/twinkies etc" videos.
Yes! Brad's "it's alive" and Claire's "Gourmet makes" are both great. I started making Kombucha and Sauerkraut because of Brad's video on the subject. Giardiniera next!
OMG, they're my favourite youtube people. So, much, joy.
Thanks, I've subscribed to them as they all sound really interesting :)
