Are there any particular YouTube channels you’re following to help pass the time during lockdown? One I’ve stumbled across which is of great interest to me is called Essential Craftsman hosted/presented by an American carpenter and spec house builder based in Roseburg, Oregon. What I find so unique about this channel is the calm and concise manner in which he takes the viewer through the process of building a timber-framed house from the footings all the way up to the roof shingles. He’s incredibly hands-on and you never feel as if he’s showing off, which you get a lot of on channels featuring similar content. I’ve helped build countless houses, blocks of flats, etc., and throughout my career I’ve always held an interest in the other side of construction: carpentry, and I feel as though I’ve finally found a channel that’ll help unlock some of those secrets. I know I’ll never become a time-served carpenter off the back of watching this channel, but I was hooked by the first episode.
Besides that, have any of you got any suggestions for YouTube channels you find interesting that you’d like to share?
