Inheritance Machining is like that - a lot of self deprecation.

Yep. I haven't found any metalworking channel that isn't. Woodworking channels can be a bit more... confident, "I know best so follow my hack if you want to keep your fingers," but many of the established, higher production channels like Lincoln St, Blacktail etc. are all just as deprecatory as the metal stuff.

Well there is the awesome Cutting Edge Engineering channel - but they have the advantage of coming from Australia.

Intersting. I used to be a professional woodworker, and can't stand the wood working channels. I love This Old Tony though.

I feel like doing a channel that brings in the reality of being a chippy. Tools that look like they were used outside in all weathers, having to make do with the tools you have with you. The crap timber that we have to deal with...I won't ever get around to it though.

A lot of the woodtubers are playing the influencer game for sponsors and views and their content devolves into product placement and reviews. The machinist channels are largely devoid of that with one main exception.
