The guy doing the demonstration runs Winder Towing in Hurricane, UT and has one of the greatest YouTube channels I’ve found in a very long time. Just nice people helping others while solving difficult problems in a beautiful environment. It makes me want to move to Utah and build a funky wheelin’ rig.
If you get the chance to visit his arcades in London or Suffolk I highly recommend it. The combination of humour, physical activity and engineering is wonderful.

This is great as charming! It’s this stuff that I actually want on YouTube. I’ve just found that making things with my hands is the best way for me to relax and get a break from everything digital. I’ll be binge watching this tonight.
