Please share the smaller channels if you have them handy! I’m very interested.

I'm not sure how similar these are to what you're looking for, but: - https://www.youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550 https://www.youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550 - Primitive Technology, with John Plant. Non-narrated, but subtitled, videos of him building houses & other useful things with just clay, wood & stone. It's not a recreation of how people lived, but of what people might have done - he does research and tries to apply what he's learned to the materials available. - https://www.youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections https://www.youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections - Technology Connections. Less making, and more explaining, this has deep dives into (usually) older technology. There's something like six hours explaining how a particular pinball machine works, and I think his most recent video about VHS-C has already made it to the top of HN earlier this week.

A few I like: https://www.youtube.com/@Blondihacks https://www.youtube.com/@Blondihacks - A (primarily) model engineering channel with a focus on hobby / home precision machining https://www.youtube.com/@daliborfarny https://www.youtube.com/@daliborfarny - A guy working to keep the art of nixie tube manufacturing alive https://www.youtube.com/@StuffMadeHere https://www.youtube.com/@StuffMadeHere - Silly / improbable projects mostly for fun (e.g. basketball hoop that you can't miss a shot)

Second Primitive Technology (don't forget to turn on the captions). Don't recommend Technology Connections to be honest (a lot of talk to the camera, I prefer videos that show things that can't be conveyed via text). Here's the channels I like, in no particular order: - https://www.youtube.com/@TechIngredients https://www.youtube.com/@TechIngredients Thumbnails and titles are clickbaity, but don't let that fool you. One of the most thorough channels. Polymath like Applied Science. - https://www.youtube.com/@HuygensOptics https://www.youtube.com/@HuygensOptics Optical Systems and connected topics from a veteran of the field - https://www.youtube.com/@Borgedesigns https://www.youtube.com/@Borgedesigns Designing 3d-printed tools - https://www.youtube.com/@Nighthawkinlight https://www.youtube.com/@Nighthawkinlight Like Applied Science, but trying to do stuff with easily acquirable materials - https://www.youtube.com/@AdvancedTinkering https://www.youtube.com/@AdvancedTinkering Chemistry and vacuum tech - https://www.youtube.com/@ExcessiveOverkill https://www.youtube.com/@ExcessiveOverkill Hardware projects, one of the biggest is controlling an industrial robot arm, but others are cool too - https://www.youtube.com/@SamZeloof https://www.youtube.com/@SamZeloof Reached home-made semiconductors - https://www.youtube.com/@projectsinflight https://www.youtube.com/@projectsinflight Trying to reach home-made semiconductors - https://www.youtube.com/@christopherhelmke https://www.youtube.com/@christopherhelmke Building industrial 3d-printed parts sorting system - https://www.youtube.com/@MariusHornberger https://www.youtube.com/@MariusHornberger Most thorough woodworker - https://www.youtube.com/@BreakingTaps https://www.youtube.com/@BreakingTaps Like Applied Science, but with more free time - https://www.youtube.com/@benmakeseverything https://www.youtube.com/@benmakeseverything Cool hardware projects - https://www.youtube.com/@ancientjames https://www.youtube.com/@ancientjames Holograms - https://www.youtube.com/@NileRed https://www.youtube.com/@NileRed More entertaining than educational, but a prominent chemistry channel - https://www.youtube.com/@BenEater https://www.youtube.com/@BenEater Classic: made computer on a breadboard - https://www.youtube.com/@theCodyReeder https://www.youtube.com/@theCodyReeder Like Applied Science, but more outdoors type; builds a Martian-like base - https://www.youtube.com/@colinfurze https://www.youtube.com/@colinfurze A welding guy with extremely high energy, builds underground garage - https://www.youtube.com/tomstantonengineering https://www.youtube.com/tomstantonengineering Hardware projects mostly about flying stuff - https://www.youtube.com/@mymechanics https://www.youtube.com/@mymechanics Machining guy restoring things; currently restores a car by individually handling every nut and bolt (yes) - https://www.youtube.com/@HyperspacePirate https://www.youtube.com/@HyperspacePirate Hardware / Chemistry projects, made liquid nitrogen with disassembled AC units in a long-running series of attempts
