I'm essentially stuck at home tonight. Plenty of other more productive things I could be doing, but what are some nice YouTube channels you've found recently that could use a little HN hug?

For my part:

https://www.youtube.com/c/BreakingTaps

Breaking Taps - 21k subs - Originally found via share from Ben Krasnow, definitely worth it. Tinkerer/fabricobbler that celebrates the learning.

And these are ones I've been watching for a while but still have relatively low sub count.

https://www.youtube.com/c/MarcoReps

Marco Reps - 146k subs (ok, lowish) - Another tinkerer, although mostly in high-precision lab equipment and various builds of interesting projects. Also a very funny dude.

https://www.youtube.com/c/OonaR%C3%A4is%C3%A4nen

Oona Räisänen aka windytan - 2100 subs - She's had a few articles posted here, super creative RF/audio hacker/tinkerer.

https://www.youtube.com/c/EdgePrecision

Edge Precision - 56k subs - One of my favorite machining channels, zero nonsense, tons of practical advice that I'll never use.

https://www.youtube.com/user/NACImageTechnology

NAC Image Technology - 650 subs - Commercial account of high speed cameras, just eye candy.

https://www.youtube.com/user/corningmuseumofglass

Corning Museum of Glass - 150k subs - Fairly prolific publisher of guest artists creating pretty amazing glassware.

https://www.youtube.com/c/eastcoastish

Eastcoastish - 3.8k subs - Impeccably documented mods and builds of a variety of small displacement motorcycles (Honda Monkey, CT70, etc)
