    I find new channels around new hobbies constantly so they just kinda drift away.

        It’s not a hobby but I really been watching a lot of drainaddict, it’s just this dude in Australia water jetting sewer lines and storm lines apparently they’ve got a really bad problem with tree roots everywhere down there. You wouldn’t think an hour-long video watching somebody run a pressure hose through a sewer line would be interesting but I just zone right the fuck out. He’s very religious but it never really comes out other than the end of each video he has some Jesus thing on his water container in the truck. But he never brings it up and daily work. He’s had a couple of videos where he answered q&a and talked about it he is very religious, like metal music is the devil. But you know, he doesn’t cram it down your throat and he just regularly provides the same content and for no apparent reason I love it…

          I watch some of those, I really dig AlphaPhoenix, and Styropyro, Osman rubs me the wrong way though.

          Thought Emporium is the growing cells to play Doom one right? That channel blew my mind.

          Have you seen James Bruton and his crazy robots and vehicles?

            Osman rubs me the wrong way though.

            yeah, it has been slowly transforming into a mark rober clone, but his second channel still has some good stuff

            Thought Emporium is the growing cells to play Doom one right? That channel blew my mind.

            yup, the same guy that genetically modified himself to cure his lactose intollerance and it actually worked

            Have you seen James Bruton and his crazy robots and vehicles?

            I actually saw his ball bike thingy last week and forgot to subscribe, reason why he’s not in my list, but I’ve now added him!

              My favorite Osman moment was when he realized he was really annoying Peter Sripol the time they collaborated. I was like, I’m certainly annoyed by you.

              I’m glad I reminded you, Bruton is so talented and smart.

        Right now it’s blacksmithing. I just bought a forge and anvil and have been watching Black Bear Forge.

        A perennial favorite is 3D printing, I’ve followed news and videos about that since the RepRap project.

        I watch a few music and electronics channels, I got a circuit board from Look Mum no Computer to build a synthesizer and learn soldering.

        Rockhounding, like Michigan Rocks, my friend and I have been getting into looking for rocks on beaches.

        For a period in my mid 30’s I tried Skateboarding and longboarding and watched a lot of that.

        I used to watch a lot of disc golf, carpentry, RC and cooking.

        I really just like knowing how to do a little bit of everything.

        Jimmy Diresta is my role model, creative Jack of All Trades. He’s living my dream life just collecting skills and making cool shit.

            He’s a really good teacher and super talented.

            He’s also calm which I appreciate. I don’t like being yelled at from the screen.
