Youtube channel thread
Discussion
With the growing prevalence of professionally produced and high-quality Youtube content, I thought it would be good to have a place to discuss the rich and wide variety of channels and episodes on the Youtube platform.
I know we have a Youtube thread in the Lounge, but that is more 'one off' viral type content and the thread in GG is dedicated to car vloggers or car content.
I'm a keen watcher of regular youtube content and find it more and more engaging compared to regular TV, as well as having a much wider variety and diversity. I subscribe to many non-motoring channels that produce content of high quality on a regular basis and thought we should have somewhere to share and discuss the creators, channels and their output. Youtube is a maturing platform hosting shows that are very often 'exclusive' to that environment, so let's get sharing!
So... my first contribution is Alec Steele - Blacksmith.

He makes daily, high-quality content around the art of Blacksmithing and knife making, he has a hugely engaging and unique style that can take some getting used to, but I think he's great. He's had some great growth in subscribers this last 6 months and has hired a videographer/editor to up the quality even more. He's just moved workshops to somewhere bigger based on his success, but a lot of his older videos are of him by himself creating some very cool things and throwing some heavy sparks along the way! Tons of older episodes, but he produces new stuff on an almost daily basis (maybe 5/6 15 minute videos a week).
He's currently on part 3 of a multi-part series making an African throwing knife (Hunga Munga).
I'll post a few more of the channels that I like if the thread takes off, so let's see how this goes.
