Scotty is entertaining and informative, but you gotta be careful with that guy when it comes to actual car repair because he's very opinionated and overly willing to play the algorithm game. It's a true rarity for a car brand to actually be "junk", but Scotty doesn't think so, and it would be a shame if people bought cars based on his opinion. He thinks Hyundais are all bad, but I and countless others love our Hyunda…

I think the RestoMod car scene are the true deciders of what is a good car or bad car. Yet to see a really cutting edge, state of the art, loaded with tech restomod though! Something that would give even Tesla and Mercedes a run for their money and the hypothetical Knight Industries.

I discovered the channel Inheritance Machining a few weeks ago. This guy inherited his grandfathers machine shop, in various states of disarray, and has been learning how to get it all working and doing some projects. Well filmed and entertaining.

I've really enjoyed Wintergatan on YouTube (you've perhaps seen the viral music video of a steampunk one man band powered by marbles). He is working on the third iteration of the marble machine, and his process is incredibly thorough. Don't read the comments, half his fans seem to hate him now for turning an art channel into an engineering channel. But that's why I watch! https://youtu.be/lC_oLb1pfqU

Interestingly, I didn't have the same experience from the comments, I find it rather good by YouTube standards.

When I followed the MMX saga, I saw a lot of technical criticism that ultimately turned out right. The most criticized idea I remember was about "kinetic fingers", a non-functional "art" part. The rest is mostly unsubstantial and vaguely entertaining comments that make up for the majority of what you see on YouTube comment sections.

In general, Essential Craftsman is fantastic content.

He has a nice mix of "this is the modern way we do it", but "here's an old school trick to help you get there".
