    Seconding (thirding, etc)

    • Adam Savage’s Tested - cosplay, engineering challenges, interviews with makers

    • Project Farm - no nonsense tool/equipment tests

    • Bad Obsession Motorsport - two guys taking WAY too long building an old mini into a rally car

    • Primitive Technology - John Plant building cabins and clay tiles and basic iron smelting in the Australian woods. No talking at all, but turn on subtitles to find out what he’s doing

    Stuff I didn’t see recommended:

    • James May’s The Reassembled - Top Gear’s Captain Slow putting things back together. Very ASMR

    • What’s Next - the new name for Drive Tribe, the Top Gear guy’s video channel. I love the series where they send their curmudgeonly producer on last minute international travel to shoot ad hoc travel shows

    • TASKMASTER - a British TV show where celebrities you’ve probably never seen before make their way creatively through challeneges

        I got into it from 8 out of 10 cats and similar panel shows. It’s so fun!

          Taskmaster is so good. And it’s basically all available to watch on YouTube. I finished all of the original seasons and started watching some of the spinoffs like Taskmaster NZ
