Does anybody know about something like this for hardware? Clocks, motors, stuff like that?

For industrial-type things, there's Open Source Ecology (https://www.opensourceecology.org/ https://www.opensourceecology.org/)

  That is a weird website! For something that has "open source" in the title, it was remarkably hard to find the actual plans -- there are many blank and broken pages; even the info page for "CEB press" (which seems the first machine they did) is spread over 3 different websites and has many empty/broken pages. The only thing that is clear form the website is that they are happy to sell you workshops.

youtube has a few engineers and makers, far from precise but still inspiring

Different than your examples. But I just finished making my own "Mostly Printed 3D Printer". I'm a software dev but had basically no experience with Arduino or anything else related to the project. It made me feel like when I was a kid on Christmas with a new large Lego set. One of the most educational and fulfilling projects I've done in recent memory. It was good timing too because the motherboard on my 3d printer just shorted out. I didn't want to pay the full price ($115) for a replacement board. So I bought an open source board similar to the one I used for my MPCNC. Since I had just put that togheter I knew what I was doing even though there was limited help in converting my particular printer available online.

  Do you have a blog/YouTube channel or something with more details?

    I don't. But the linked site has great, detailed instructions

Do you mean building clocks, motors, etc or using them in a hardware project along side e.g. an arduino?

  I’m interested in your hardware project resources.

A guy named Ben Eater is in the process of putting together a fantastic video series about building your own 6502, which was an extremely popular microprocessor that was used in dozens of popular electronics back in the 80s. You can buy a kit that contains all of the parts you need. Not quite the same format as the tutorials linked in this post but educational nonetheless. https://eater.net/6502 https://eater.net/6502
