#112Malcolm Moore's channel has been an excellent resource for progressing my snowboarding ability. https://youtube.com/@malcolmmoore
Is there a similar channel but for skiing?

#113Unplugged woodworking: https://yewtu.be/channel/UCcO75TzblV9-_WqgXX1mNxg
A carpenter who is using hand tools exclusively. He's an enthusiastic user of the "roman workbench" -- essentially, a regular, low bench with holes for "bench dogs" or holdfasts. His instructions on how to build and use are really good, here's a section for these: https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=PL6p4OzXAymr15zd5p-46R71vtEWj...
I also like the laid-back manner in which he speaks. Seems like a nice guy.

#114This Old Tony is a jewel of a machining channel. Come for the production quality, stay for the dad jokes.
Laura Kampf is a great woodworker, but her attitude makes the channel.
AvE is a Canadian weirdo who does a little bit of everything. I'd explain better if I knew what he's even saying half the time.

#115The DAS Bookbinding Chanel gets my vote. An Australian book binder although he doesn’t seem active at the moment.

#116Moritz build audio stuff from scratch, he explains how electric components work together in a nice easy way. The last video about compressor is awesome. Moreover he streamed partially rebuild of TR-808.

#119I 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
