And Abom79. He has a great video of using dye and power scrapers to flatten a Cincinnati Shaper. Great stuff.

  While we're at it, Alec Steele is pretty interesting too! (he's a blacksmith, so forging).

I knew before I clicked through to the comments that ToT would be right here at the top.

Thanks, haven't seen his yet; my suggestion is Clough42 - especially for the HN crowd since he's a software engineer, electronics hobbyist, and has a 3D printer too, so it's a really nice mix - not just in the sense of (metal) machining one video and something else the next, but unexpected combinations of them (e.g. 'I need a fixture to hold this - over to the 3D printer') that make it really interesting and more varied than most others I watch on YouTube who mostly have their one thing. (Marius Hornberger is another quite like that - but swapping electronics for mechanical stuff, and metalworking for woodworking.) A/V production quality is great too.

  Yes, James is excellent, I picked up most of my Fusion360-fu from watching him design (in 360) and then 3D print or machine components. Very thorough engineer!

Also, check out Robin Renzetti, (here he is lapping a surface plate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nY7uW1uG9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nY7uW1uG9s). Lacks the entertainment and dad jokes of ToT, but is an absolute genius. Absolutely amazing attention to detail. Top Lipton has a lot of good videos too, and has written a couple of books.
