#72I really like Zack Freedman’s channel. He hacks on wearables and does cool stuff with 3D printers and is hilarious.

#73I absolutely binged the Tally Ho restauration project by Sampson Boat Co., masterful and highly educational.
Also Project Binky by Bad Obsession Motorsport shows fascinating fabrication skills even for people not interested in Motorsport like me

#76Frank Howarth is an absolute gem: https://www.youtube.com/@frankmakes 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 th…
Thanks for the recommendations - here's a few of mine that are related:
For woodworking I am a big fan of Paul Sellers - though he is primarily a hand woodworker. His videos are very accessible.
For chess I like John Bartholemew. He's an IM, so lower in the rankings than someone like Hikaru, but has a lot of videos geared towards people looking to improve their overall game.

#79https://www.youtube.com/@blenderguru helped me make sense of Blender 3D back when I was first trying to wrap my brain around it.

#80I have a number to share, maybe not all quite perfecting craft, but enjoyable for me! I did try narrowing to ones a bit more relating to learning or improving skills. Sustainable Gardening, Self Sufficient Me General cooking, Adam Ragusea Seafood Cooking, Kimagure Cook Chocolate mastery (demonstrations), Amaury Guichon 3D Printing Tips, Teaching Tech & CNC Kitchen Everything Coffee Related, James Hoffman
Do you have any suggestions for channels that are good for beginner cooks? I just got my first job in a new city and realized I have no idea how to cook anything other than eggs & chicken
"thatdudecancook" (terrible name, I know!) has shown me some amazingly simple techniques that have radically improved my cooking:

If you're into Chinese cooking, then the Chinese Cooking Demystified channel is excellent. This is not your lemon chicken from the mall food court… They deep-dive into all the regional cuisines and present non-mainland-China-friendly recipes and techniques. It's a real eye-opener.

+1 for Adam Regusea and J-Kenji Lopez-Alt.
For coffee, as others have said, James Hoffman, but also check out Lance Hendrick if you want crazy amounts of detail:

Aaron & Claire regularly produce ultra-simple, fast, imaginative Korean dishes:

Ann Reardon does some interesting baking-oriented stuff, but even better, her debunking videos are the real gold:

I'm getting into BBQ & smoking (bought a Kamado) and found SmokingDadBBQ informative:

For something really out-there, Wilderness Cooking (again, a terrible name) is intriguing. It's this guy living in what looks like a pretty remote village in Azerbaijan doing traditional outdoor feasts. Warning: not even remotely vegetarian-friendly.
