I like to watch doubleboost even though I really only understand about every third word. I am sure he has the same problem understanding us rednecks.

Pretty much sums it up. Add Oxtool (Tom Lipton) for some additional great tips (when he isn't scaring me to death. Ahem) There are some electronics I like to watch.

ToolandDieGuy had some good stuff going, but pretty much just promoting his own pay per view video's (sign up for $100, and I'll let you watch). For the folks in tool and die trade, probably a good value.... but for the rest of us, that money on a new caliper goes along way.

I left out a lot of the folks who I watch because of the old memory. One of my favorites is myfordboy, he never speaks but has great subtitles and an Aussie fellow calls himself xynudu or something close. I started retirement in 2011 with nothing to do and great boredom. Then I hauled my few guns out of the back of the closet and started shooting in some small time competitions. Then reloading and bullet casting. Then I wanted to build a couple of things for the reloading and I went to the back of the garage where my lathe had been sitting unused for about 30-35 years. I went to work overseas in the mid 70's and when I came back the grandchild phenomenon occurred and I spent the next 15 years at girls softball games. That was a six day a week 52 week a year thing and left no time for hobbies. But now the lathe is cleaned up and working the band saw is repainted and working, the boring bars are half finished. The BTC boring bar only needed cleaning and it ran right off just as did the drill press. I do need a new power cord for the BTC. And boring bar tools are scattered all over the house and garage but I am slowly getting them in one place. When the Kwik-Way is finished then I can get on to building a power hacksaw. It just seems like something I want to do. Oh and I bought a mill/drill which means I had to forgo the planned purchase of a .45 XDM Springfield this year (the boss lady is relatively liberal on what I spend but she has limits). Anyway to make a long story longer I now have only laziness to buy me some idle time here and there and boredom is long gone.
