Any other authentic channels I should check out about the mastery of a skill or craft?
I don't do metalwork, but have often appreciated Clickspring's videos[3]

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!
I've been following his woodworking channel for 10 years — and I have no interest in woodworking myself. I've never come across someone who is 1) 99th percentile at the craft, 2) probably better at videography than the craft itself, and 3) will literally walk you through his line of thinking while including all the dumb mistakes he thought along the way.
Hikaru has a similar way of explaining high-level chess and coming off as human, but the quality of Frank's stuff is nearly unparalleled, in my opinion. It's like watching an absolute master of his craft have a beer with you and explain his 4D chess moves in an Explain Like I'm 5 years old format.
Highly, highly recommend watching him.
