Glad to see Grady’s channel get a mention on here. He, along with aVe, NileRed, Steve Mould, Big Clive, and Ben Kraznow are some of my favorite YouTube science

  Agreed, Grady does great work on his Practical Engineering channel. Other channels I appreciate are Smarter Every Day, The Action Lab, Veritasium, and Chubbyemu. What are others people would recommend?

      What’s the back story with that channel? Is he an independent maker or is there a production company behind him? Not knocking him or the channel, I enjoy watching his videos and the recent collaboration with Lock Picking Lawyer was great. Just wondering how it’s structured because it was so well produced from the first video. It’s rare to see a maker create such polished videos from day 1. If he’s truly independent, he deserves even more credit for his talent.

        He left his job at form labs to do it full time. I’m told he did a lot of research to learn how to make viral YouTube content.

        He works (worked?) at Formlabs, and seems to have access to some incredibly nice tools for machining, cutting, and forming all the various bits he designs. While not mentioned in the videos, I'm guessing he also has the ability to ping some tough questions off people who would point him in the right direction quickly, but my guess is it's just a big passion and he's good at it.

    Tech ingredients is also a fantastic channel

    The Thought Emporium - does next level biology hacking (e.g. cured his own lactose intolerance through genetic engineering) and some physics Applied Science - Great engineering, he built his own electron microscope for example. His video on the helium-disables-iPhones phenomenon was surprisingly more in-depth than the best writeups I'd read.
