HumbleMechanic is really great and does mostly VW stuff. His VR6 Turbo build is really great and he knows his stuff.

Gale Banks has been doing a really cool review on rear diff covers. Seeing if the aftermarket ones really help anything. The full project hasn't been posted yet but the info so far has been pretty fascinating.

Was never into woodwork, then discovered Tips from a shipwright traditional skills and great projects. This lead me to Sampson Boat Company, an amazing restoration series, what this guy can do is stunning on such a huge project.

From the couple of videos of his that I've watched it seems to be lots of filler and not much substance.

Well, three years later I've found a few good ones, and some have dropped right off.
I still watch every video Tom Lipton does. We correspond over email and instagram occasionally, he's a really nice guy and has a true love of the trades. He's been willing to help me out with some advice on job shop stuff over email. He's been going a little overboard with the precision measurement stuff lately, but I've been learning a lot.
I've been getting into cooking a lot more lately, so I've been watching a lot of Binging With Babish and Basics With Babish, as well as the Bon Appetit channel, specifically "Its Alive!" with Brad Leone. Both outstanding chefs and very good video production quality.
Project Binky on Bad Obsession is the best car fab video series by far. Outstanding work.
This Old Tony continues to make good quality content worth watching.
Jimmy Diresta has had some interesting projects. He's a very good all around craftsman. I listen to his podcast "Making It", with a couple other youtubers, its pretty good. One of the few sponsored Youtubers who isn't incredibly annoying. Probably because he has a history in television production, and knows how to handle himself on camera with a sponsor.
Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks is still the man, I also listen to his podcast. Very, very good content. I met him at Fabtech a few years ago, and he's a super humble and nice man. Talked for a few minutes, seemed genuinely interested in my work and was a pleasure meeting him.
I watch Essential Craftsman a bit here and there. He's got some good content, and his heart is in the right place. He obviously cares about the work.
Frank Howarth has a very nice woodshop and makes some cool stuff. His video production is high quality as well.
AVE has lost a bit of my interest, he's got a lot of knowledge, but he seems to have a hard time with Youtube politics and dealing with criticism of his testing methods. He also spends a lot more time trying to be funny, which used be more natural.
Warning soapbox rant ahead.
I have very little interest in product shilling, I don't give a **** if Lincoln, DeWalt, Triton, or whoever gave you a pile of cool tools, I want to see what you do with them, and if you are any good at what you do. I much prefer they obviously talented guys or gals who want to show off their skills and projects, not their sponsors. So, my interest in Abom79, Keith Fenner, and a few others has waned considerably. I liked to learn things from these guys watching them work, not tell me all about the neat doodad that some sponsor sent over.
I can't stand these people who take all the handouts from these marketing companies, and then fiddle fart around in their home shop telling us how great these free tools were. Yeah, you got a free welder from Lincoln. But can you actually weld worth a ****?
Unfortunately, the guys who are actual pros, and good at whatever they're doing, are usually too busy working and can't make videos. Lots of bad or extremely outdated information on the interwebs, especially with machining.
I really wish there were more professional machining channels. I want to see some real world stuff. CNC turning and milling, on machines that real shops have. Mazak, Doosan, DMG Mori, Okuma, Haas, stuff like that. Programming and setting up jobs, increasing efficiency in production, handling stock, dealing with customers, things like that. Problem is, those guys are running a business, and have no time or interest in running a youtube channel. So we're stuck with they guys making widgets on a Tormach.
Rant over. Haha. Youtube is free and fun, so I can't really complain much.No one is forcing me to watch. I really do like the effort some of these creators put forth. Some of it is world class and very well done.

I forgot about The Slo-Mo Guys and Linus Tech Tips. Both are funny and amusing, occasionally educational.

I secretly restored my wifes very first car. It had been parked in the back of my shop for 16 years and I surprised her with it on her birthday.
We have been married for 30 years but she has had this car since she was a teenager. going on 45 years they have been together.

This channel was probably already mentioned by now now, but just thought I'd share it anyways:
Tool Teardowns
The channel is relatively new, but he's got some good videos about the new SBD Craftsman ratchets and some power tool tear downs. The guy has an odd voice but his videos are well thought out and informative.

For tool reviews, Koon Trucking and Tool Boss are good channels. Lots of info on different tools and deals on them. Tools in Action has some decent reviews on tools.
I like Essential Craftsman also. He shares a lot of knowledge and wisdom.
AVE is kind of hard to follow sometimes, but seems to know a lot and he does some machining stuff.

Skid Factory - They have several builds on the Mighty Car Mods guys second channel; Really well done. Burned several evenings staying up too late to watch "one more episode"
This Old Tony - I have over 200 youtube channel subscriptions, This Old Tony is the only channel that I have the notification bell turned on for. Love everything he does.

^^This Old Tony's latest video is pretty cool - he's building CNC controls for an Etch-A-Sketch toy, to automatically adjust the two knobs. The Skid Factory channel is very good, too. Right now on the MCM channel they're going through Hot Rod Drag Week in the US with the Toyota Cresta (the thing runs in the low 9s, with a turbocharged Ford Barra straight six engine.)
Runge Cars is a cool channel. It's a young guy in Minnesota who hand builds custom aluminum cars based on four cylinder Porsche drivetrains. This link is to an overview video, but if you look at his other videos there are a lot of good instructional ones about how to shape and form aluminum.

I don't know if this has been posted yet but here's a very good channel that focuses on hydraulics called Lunch Box Sessions. It starts with the basics and goes through the basic types of systems and components and eventually makes it's way to automotive systems:

Story about a young USAF veteran doing a 50 state road trip while living out of his Jeep (named Jade) with his companion dog, Annie. He does meet ups and four wheeling jamborees at each state with fans and his Jeep breaks down here and there but he’s a smart man and fans help him out along the way. Excellent cinematography from his drone too!
His early videos were about him living out of his sailboat. Anyway great watching him grow up and continue with his adventure as he faces Jeep/family issues along the way.
SMA (South Main Auto) with Eric O.
*Hold on to your wallet. I swear I always end up ordering a new tool, lubricant, sprayable muscle grease, diagnostic equipment, brake clean, something, after each episode. Plus you’ll learn so many NEW things/ways about doing vehicle repair and maintenance.
