Mike Patey. Yes, its home built airplanes. Except... He design stuff on a CAD system, fabricates stuff on zillion dollar machining setups (think billet wing ribs), custom designs and fabricates most everything that isn't metal out of carbon fiber. Check out Draco and Scrappy.

Youtube kept recommending me to watch his late 70s Chevy Caprice revival. I did back in September and got hooked after that.
SuperfastMatt's interesting projects, technical detail and dry sense of humor is rapidly making it my favorite channel.
I've been quite enjoying I Do Cars - it's run by a guy who has an engine recycling business. Most of it is blown engine teardowns, which are very interesting, but there's also some other car stuff as well. Best of all, it's not annoying, which seems to be an ever-increasing problem with YouTube content these days.
MakeItCustom.......I like the way the guy explains stuff Make It Kustom - YouTube
FitziesFabrications.....knows his stuff and I love the Newfoundland accent Fitzee's Fabrications - YouTube
I like the "Adventures Made From Scratch" channel, he runs a scrap yard and for some reason it's fascinating to Me

Way back in the late 60s my best friend and I were famous for saying "keep a cool tool and don't let your leaf load". I thought we made it up, but maybe it was stolen.

x2 I came here to post this.
He's got a ratty cbr1000 powered Honda S600 with Miata suspension, and his current project is Tesla swapping a 50s Jag. Just got it driving.
I can't recall if it was mentioned before, but if you like old sports cars (particularly British ones) "This Week In Cars" has some good stuff.
Hunt The Front for dirt late model racing in the south.
Good bunch of guys working their way up the ranks. Been watching since their earlier days.
They're going places.

I watch that also. He finds some interesting stuff. I liked the Studebaker clean out.
Never knew 'wall hangers' were so popular. Geez, they cut off a lotta front ends.
The Best Motoring videos are still being produced and I still love their comparisons.
There's a bunch of these under similar names, like amazing things, amazing things, official, etc, youtube will suggest them in the sidebar. They're a good reality check on what actually is possible with very limited resources. Looks like it's out of Pakistan, but I've seen the same in SE Asia, I assume Eastern Europe, Africa, etc would also look very familiar.
This one is some sort of cast iron 3 cyl diesel, block has stripped head bolt threads and bad bores. Once you get to the final decking/boring/honing it looks not so different from any engine machine shop operation from the mid 50's. But getting to that point is pretty eye opening.

He started with a Range Rover Classic Vogue and is working on an Esprit and W123 Benz. I'm a bit behind, so he may have moved on, but the vids are great.
He recently posted a long video on the W123 and it's amazing indeed.
I've been thoroughly entertained by this channel's "bus battle" videos. The creator Stormy Kara is based in Chicago and covers transit, and in this series, they bring on friends for a challenge. Embed is to a playlist of the series, though the rest of the channel is really solid too.
Just watching is probably more grokable than an explanation. They're racing to gather the highest number of points from busses, but they also have to return to the start line at the end of two hours. Each line can be claimed for points only once by the first player to ride. They're doing a great job of managing suspense and tension. I just wish there were more videos in the series.

We've been friends on FB since I picked up that 401 Wagoneer from him, and I just sent him that BaT auction you shared with me. He replied that he's going to sell off "all" of his next year. Not sure if he meant crewcabs, Sweptlines, Dodge trucks, or what.

Paging Wally...
Apologies if a repeat, but I love this guy:
