Favorite YouTube channels?
« on: February 28, 2016, 11:44:55 pm »
Besides EEVblog, what's your favorite YouTube channels?  :-//

Some of mine:
Dave's World of Fun Stuff - Dave's a great guy who fixes gooched guitars.
Woodgears - Engineering Genius who works with wood, but he'd be a genius no matter the medium.
Techmoan - This guy is always digging up vintage audio stuff and giving it a go. Some cool videos to be found here if your into old and wacky playback mediums.
Photonicinduction - Mad Science by a guy who isn't afraid of blowing things up with high voltage and current.
Aussie50 - Teardowns and other assorted tinkering.

If we are talking electronics most of them are already on the forum :)

Actually I'm not sure if Mr. Carlson from Mr. Carlson's Lab is here. Also radiofun232 is not here as far as I'm aware.
