Yay! --thread archaeology time again.
Here are a couple of new ones I've stumbled across recently
1: COLIN FURZE -- I'd never heard of this guy before. He just popped up in my feed one day and I thought he was just another YouTuber. But, apparently he's been on Sky, so is a 'proper' telly person. Anyway, I've been watching this playlist, where he builds an underground bunker and secret tunnel under his house. Just because it's the kind of mad shit I bet a lot of us would like to do, given the chance.... and a huge wodge of cash:
DISCLAIMER: I've only watched his vids at night, with the sound off and subtitles on. So he may have the most annoying personality and voice in the known universe. I just wouldn't know.
2: WRISTWATCH REVIVAL --another one which popped up randomly on my YT feed and which I clicked on out of idle curiosity. Basically this guy buys old broken watches off eBay and takes them apart and tries to get them going again. It sounds tedious beyond belief, but I find it strangely fascinating. I love watching 'machinery' being disassembled and reassembled and seeing a proper craftsman at work.Watching him dismantle a watch down to the individual cog wheels and put it back together again is like watching someone rebuild a gearbox... only with tweezers instead of an impact wrench.
3: JARED OWEN --this guy makes 3D animations showing how various things work. Ranging from simple stuff like locks, to the space shuttle. They're a bit of a mixed bag. Some are better than others. But, again, interesting for those of us who like to tinker and pull things apart to see what makes them go.
