Just wandering through and you discover people like Silvie Mahdal.
Sometimes I wonder about the point of photorealistic pencil work, but when you watch her create stuff it is mesmerising to me.

All that fella needs is a wacky tie (preferably one that squirts water or revolves at high speed) and a mug that says "You don't have to be mad to work here..." and his life will be complete.

Not for me

@nickc, you could at least suggest a YT channel for the next poster to dislike and suggest their own.... 😉

In a similar vein to the OP, watching this guy work is a treat. Superb skill and attention to detail for something relatively ordinary.

@z1ppy. Fair enough. Most of my channels are either MTB or hour long lectures on Aurignacian split bone spear tips, and some of the academics on those make your lad look reasonably sane, so who am I to judge?

My tumble dryer packed in again yesterday. Cleared the blocked pipe but still kept getting the same error code kicking in and stopping the machine. None of the usual sites or forums were helping. Was about to give up and order a new one form AO out of sheer frustration then stumbled across a random mum on Youtube with the same fault. She had the same fault and had identified a tiny little reset button on one of the electrical relays. Pushed that and it worked first time.

I love YouTube.

I love YouTube - cos I had a problem with my thermostat. I bought a new one and the internal connections were completely different to the existing one.. Youtube search finds a random South African wiring up the exact model I'd bought. Couldn't have done it without that!

Then there's my son's bike back from Uni for servicing Forks, Shock and brakes... a few YT vids later.... so many nice people videoing themselves servicing bike parts!

Oh, suggest a channel mentioned. OK

Some of his stuff is John Peel sessions of music that just went out of existence.

Yep it’s very handy, a mates Audi Q7 had loss of air in the suspension, Audi wanted £1800 to change the compressor and air canisters but I took them apart after watching a clip on YouTube and replaced the rubber o-ring seals and it’s been working fine for the past 6 years

i can always find something to watch on YouTube, sometimes though the level of 'nob' never ceases to amaze me, try 'auditing yorkshire' if you want to see a real bell end
