Definitely agree on all points! I was going to suggest EC also but I didn't think I had seen enough of his videos.

I’ve been dosing YouTube a bit and the algorithm started pointing me towards these peeps doing wood turning. I find some of this work quite remarkable in many ways.
What kind of stuff are you finding that’s somewhat hobby-centric or niche that’s interesting while also being safe for work and not politically polarized (in other words, a welcome break from the media)?
This video is basically the definition of a youtube hole. How do you make a wagon wheel for 20 mule team borax wagons?
Also for DcotorWho and other motor geeks:

Re: YouTube Rabbit Holes
Setup:
Heard someone (excellent YouTube bassist) doing riffs on Jerome Kern’s “All the Things You Are.” One of the best songs penned imo.
Found out Michael Jackson covered it in 1973.
The song is pre-mainstream disco and is fantastic. Whoever posted to YouTube did not have video to correspond with the audio so they used a bunch of clips from Jackson 5 specials. These dudes could put on a show. No bullshit.

Re: YouTube Rabbit Holes
This wound up in my recommended videos one day and I couldn’t stop watching it.
Who knows if it’s actually legit or not, there are some curious camera cuts and editing but it’s cool as hell to watch for sure.

Probably the best channel on the interblag related to proper shoe (de)construction, run by a pair of Southern dandy brothers. It's pretty cool to find out (finally!) what Goodyear welting really is, from actual experts and not some #menswear bloggers.

Re: YouTube Rabbit Holes
Believe it or not, I'm actually not much of a shoe guy, but it's been super interesting to finally see these construction methods up close and personal. Turns out GYW uses a fair bit of glue too, and the ultra purists consider it the first step on this slippery slope towards the cemented stuff most guys wear today.

These two guys used to just use cork that came in a dry sheet, and would trace out the shape of the shoe with a pen and and just cut it out with a knife. No joke, a few months ago when they switched to the wet cork and the hot iron, I went out and bought oatmeal cookies to try to capture the experience.

Re: YouTube Rabbit Holes
I watched a rabbit hole video a while back about the Robertson (aka square drive) screw, and why phillips head is so popular now.
short version:
oops.Robertson was born in 1879 in Seneca Township, Ontario (see historic townships of Haldimand County). As a salesman for a Philadelphia tool company in eastern Canadian sales territories,[5] he was demonstrating tools one day when his straight-bladed screwdriver slipped and cut his hand (a common mishap with the straight slot design). This prompted him to design a different drive for screws that would slip less, leading to his square-socket drive. Robertson headed the Robertson Screw Company until his death in 1951.
The Fisher Body company, which made the car bodies for the Ford Motor Company, was one of Robertson's first customers and used over 700 Robertson screws in its Model T car. Henry Ford, after finding that the screw saved him about 2 hours of work for each car, attempted to get an exclusive licence for the use and manufacture of the Robertson screw in the US. He was turned down by Robertson who felt it was not in his best interest and shortly after that, Ford found that Henry F. Phillips had invented another kind of socket screw and had no such reservations. Although the Robertson screw is most popular in Canada, it is used extensively in boat building because it tends not to slip and damage material, it can be used with one hand, and it is much easier to remove/replace after weathering.[citation needed]
