I often watch Ave and Nick Shabaz on youtube and, whilst we never see more than their hands, I find them all the more engaging for that fact.

Something about them not being the centre of attention on screen helps keep focus on the content.

Other than Big Clive, what other youtubers do you watch that you never see?

Special mention to Beko1987 who I believe is on PH and again all the better content for just being an off camera content provider.

Any others worth watching? Or not as the case might be.

Thanks in advance.

Did he ? I caught a reflection of him in a video (in the DLR) once of him but he is notoriously camera shy.

Lively Professional Services - snags new build houses, every time i have a bad day doing diy stuff round my house, i watch what the professional bodgers are doing and feel better.
How about someone who is seen and not heard - New Yorkshire Workshop - Communicates via subtitles, the stuff he makes is amazing.

Dankpods is another good one. He started out modifying iPods but now does all sorts of music related stuff like headphones, high end MP3 players, very low end MP3 players, headphone amps, novelty speakers, visits to cash converters, and, of course, his PKCells. His microphone tests are comedy gold.

Nekkid Watchmaker never seems to make an appearance. Good channel though.

You get to see him on his livestreams, which are very entertaining.

His car stuff is cool too, think it's called Garbage Time

AVE appeared to go off the rails during covid. Shame as I used to love his vids. Super private guy.

His earlier vids had bits and bobs of himself revealed in his vids, even mentioned his real name once (alledgedly). Seems to have made a mint as he now appears to have a farm.

Technically you never see ChrisFix either, although he's easy to find his face in a google search.

Geoffrey Croker, or CROKER vs vs Rover is one I quite enjoy. NZ chap who likes to restore Land Rovers and tools. Not one for the camera and I like his somewhat dry humour.

Dancingbacons, although he's quite happy to have his wife/partner in front of the camera.

He seems to have all but given up on BOLTR's.

Shame.

I've been watching a similar one - Has a Welsh accent : Edit "New Home Quality Control"
Last night I found a video with him explaining how some of the bodges are fixed. Very interesting.

Rainman Rays Repairs - shows face sometimes
Furious Driving - shows face but worth the mention, super chill bloke, content focused.
