I'm just gonna start a whole thread dedicated to this guy's videos.

Don't miss the 34:00 mark where he shows how a man installs a stereo. 😂

*closes tailgate after taking the sledge to it* - "That's nice!"

I removed snow professionally for 10 years or so. I wish our trucks were maintained that well. That is not sarcasm.
I didn't own the trucks, just drove them.
If our plow was leaking, we'd only plow left for a few storms.
We developed the 'Glen Factor'. Take the number of miles on the truck, times it by the number of years Glen owned the truck, and that was the Glen factor mileage equivalent.
2015 Dodge cummins. 50K miles x 6 years owned = 300,000 mile equivalent. No joke. Seats destroyed, missing dash parts, every check engine/issue light on, no shocks, bald tires, 4x4 not working sometimes, etc.

But it is a lot of fun to plow.

My take aways from this:

1. I will never complain about working in my non-heated enclosed garage again.
2. I can fix anything with a BFH, a welder, and patience.
3. I have been installing stereos wrong my entire life. Good thing it was a dodge and they had the classic dodge dash for added help!

That was worth the watch!

*smack smack*

That looks straight. That's fine.

I still can't tell if this guy is genuine or hamming it up for the camera. The chainsaw stereo install convinced me he was actually a YouTube marketing genius

 

[TRD270]

I'm questioning why I don't have a pipe wrench that size in my life

 

[Pile of parts]

Then he complains that the previous owner hacked up the wiring...

I was surprised he took the time to vacuum the seat after the install.

"How did all this plastic get here?"

I found another channel channel to listen to while I work. This guy has some pretty decent machinist dad jokes:

This Old Tony does lots of cool stuff.

 

[4x4_Welder]

Yeah, I was watching a lot of AvE videos, and then This Old Tony started showing up on my suggestions. He's entertaining, and when I start doing some videos on my grow system I'm going to probably follow that style a bit.

 

[Hickey]

I stopped watching Weld.com when Bob Moffat wasn't in scene anymore. The red bearded guy is OK, but the other dude who can't pronounce "welder" just drives me insane.

IMHO This Old Tony is a YouTube god.

AVE’s older stuff is better than anything he’s put out in the last year but he’s still good.

Grind Hard Plumbing Co makes some cool projects and their build quality is getting a lot better, but their videos are a little slow and monotonous for me, I find myself fast-forwarding a lot.

Kibbetech makes insane builds with top notch quality but their videos are boring.

Essential Craftsman has great construction videos and great attention to detail and build quality, but he’s been working on a spec-house the last 2 years or so so 90% of the new videos are about the house.

Abom79 is a great machinist, super serious channel though and sometimes a little tedious to watch. I skip through a lot.

Mike Festiva makes interesting projects and decent videos. His quality is getting better too and has tool reviews now and then. He buys/runs a lot of Harbor Freight stuff.

6061.com is an insanely good welder and good videos, mainly welds aluminum but mixes it up now and then.

Donn DIY makes interesting projects, his quality is little hack but not awful. Decent videos.

Colin Furze is a madman and makes wild projects and good videos.

I also follow a few other good similar channels; NYC CNC, Joe Pieczynski, Make It Extreme, Wintergatan, weld.com, LockPicking Lawyer, Project Farm, Jimmy Diresta, Ron Covell, myfordboy, Brian Oltrogge, My Mechanics... and the list goes on.

Yes, I watch a lot of YouTube

Based on this list, I feel like we might be related.

LockPicking Lawyer,

This guy is a MADMAN. I randomly check in on his videos.

 

[Hickey]

This guy is one of my most favorite Instagram accounts. He's a welder in Texas who mainly repairs heavy excavation equipment. They are digging in bedrock and their breakage is often incredible. This guy uses a torch like he's a human CNC plasma table.

 

[Herzog]

This showed up on my suggested today, some guy interviewing Andrew about the castle:

I would definitely be down for a few days helping him weld on his castle.

 

[Kevin B.]

This guy is like a Kiwi Andrew. About everything he does is a bodge, but he's pretty good at making it all work.
