Sucked into YouTube!

[dexters_lab]

hey guys

i dont like promoting my own stuff but this time i make an exception O0. Since i was a kid i loved taking a screwdriver to stuff to see whats inside, hence why my usernames a normally related to Dexters Laboratory!

Recently i have been making a few youtube clips doing the same. Inspired by the other channels out there like EEVblog, mikeselectricstuff, Tesla500 etc etc i have been recently making a few videos myself on my personal channel as a kind of practice, but each video i do i get better 

My work job is changing and i'm going to have a bit more time other than evenings and weekends to do this. So i have a dedicated teardown channel coming soon on YouTube, although i dont have the knowledge of the other channels i hope to enjoy making videos and learning about stuff and hopefully taking some interesting things apart. I will also be setting up  a few other channels that are completely unrelated to electronics but thats a bit further down the line.

So on my current personal channel i have several playlists to categorise my videos (they are varied!!) but my electronics/teardowns is linked here, but your welcome to explore the other playlists:

i need to completely reorganise, equip and decorate my little lab/mancave before i can use it properly for the new channel. New shelving, lighting, microphone and new editing software I think it is not going to be easy!!

So i already know that my lighting and audio need improvement which will come shortly, talking to myself on camera i am getting better with. But if anyone has any suggestions, things to do or try and the type of things you guys might like to see in bits it should help me out.

Although my channels are monetised, i'm just doing this for the fun of it

thanks! Mark (aka DextersLab)

Don't worry, i watched pretty mucgh all of them already, and liked the Japan trip. Just a quick question, how much is a rice paper picture of Fujiyama worth?

Thanks for these Mark!
Just watched the BT cable tester vid, interesting stuff, will be following from now on.

I am so getting tempted to make another youtube account, quit with the gmail thing.

On a totally OT note, you a fellow NorthWestern whippet-wrangling ferret-master Mark ? :p

Thanks Yago
Yea, originally from New Mills & Macclesfield, living in Manchester now.

I dont have a flat cap and whippet though!

No whippets, he has beagles instead. They swim with the camera...... Or just lie around next to the work in progress.
