Woodworking YouTubers

• Carl Jacobson, does some lovely woodturning stuff.
• Andy Phillips, more interesting woodturning artistry stuff.
• Stumpy Nubs is more general blue-collar woodworking but I tend to run hot and cold on their stuff. Been very good of late though.
• Peter Brown. I mean, if you haven't seen Peter Brown, have you even been on Youtube yet? Seriously fun stuff, kindof like This Old Tony but for wood and resin.
• The Crazy Framer and Essential Craftsman are interesting looks at framing and carpentry and general contracting in Canada and the US. Not something I'd love to spend the remainder of my days doing but interesting nonetheless.
• Renaissance WoodWorker (Shannon Rogers) is basically an American Paul Sellers (albeit a few decades younger). Also works for the largest hardwood timber yard in North America and has a podcast about the lumber industry that hasn't had a dull episode yet.
• Adrian Preda, small scale, in-an-apartment type woodwork. Very precise, very satisfying to watch.
• Peter Follansbee is pretty much the expert on 17th century american funiture, and his stuff is amazing to watch. If you ever wanted to take a log and wind up with a hand-carved blanket chest or wainscot chair or desk box, this is the guy to go look at. During lockdown he's done a series on making a jointed stool that you definitely should watch.
• The Black Forest Wood Company are a commercial funiture/joiners in Canada who do a lot of massive resin work for river tables and the like, their presenter's tone kinda grates on me a bit but the work itself is interesting to see.
• Martin Saban Smith, lots of woodturning and colour work, fair few beginner tutorials, and a few live streams over the last few weeks.
• WoodTurner21, a production woodturner. If you want to watch some of the most testicle-shrivellingly scary things you can do on a lathe, this guys' videos are right up there. The things he does with a skew chisel have me replaying videos over several times trying to figure out how they worked instead of taking the skew and throwing it into low earth orbit.
• Gary Lowe, some exceptionally lovely colour work in woodturning.
• Crimson Guitars, I have no interest in ever making a guitar or any musical instrument really, but watching this guy make them is a ton of fun. Plus, this is where I learned the masking-tape-and-superglue trick.
• Mid-Maryland Woodturners Club, they have some fascinating demos on their channel. I particularly liked Jimmy Clewes' ones, even if he is a tad hard to listen to at times (Clewes has his own channel as well).
• Stewart Furini, more lovely colour work in woodturning.
• David Boeff, a complete amateur, not a youtuber just some guy putting up random chunks of video as he builds things, but the things he's building are Queen Anne lowboys and Chippendale slant front desks and Chipman oxbow chests. It's astonishingly encouraging to watch.
• CL woodturning. Woodturner from the north of England, very no-fuss, has a few interesting videos on making your own lathe tooling, makes an interesting lathe tool called a lathe knife.
• Tatianka Carving. Russian woodturning channel, does some ungodly things with a lathe knife (not a skew, a lathe knife - we don't seem to use them much over here, but they're huge in Russia, Estonia and a few other places).
• David Barron, very well known for dovetails and fine joinery and small furniture work. Lots of nice tricks to learn here.
• Kobeomsuk furniture. A korean (I think) furniture shop with some interesting quirks and tooling. Similar to I****ani Furniture, with a slightly different flavour.
• krtwood. A US small furniture/artwork lad, makes some really beautiful pieces.
• Maguire Workbenches and The English Woodworker - both of these are Richard Maguire, who's like the blue-collar northern english version of Paul Sellers. If you haven't seen him and you have any interest at all in using hand tools to get work done, you really want to watch his stuff. He's not about the "beauty and poetry and romance" of hand tool work, he's very much "need to make stuff to sell stuff" efficiency oriented.
• Slovenian Woodworker, some very interesting and creative furniture work.
• Tips from a shipwright is oddly enough, all about building ships However, it's (a) interesting and (b) full of very neat tricks, like steaming wood in a bag so you can keep steaming it as you bend it and after you bend it so you can control the heat of the lignin more effectively (I've managed to use that trick to steam-bend kiln-dried black walnut).
• Doucette and Wolfe furniture makers. I think this one's as close as woodwork gets to being porn. I mean, the stuff they make has no business being that damn pretty. They're just making everyone else look bad

• Phil Gaynor
• West Cork Woodworks
