I’m a big fan of YouTube tutorials by folks who make things. One of the best YouTube channels for cool and unusual doable (by an average person) projects is Grant Thompson’s King of Random. He has a well-deserved following of 7.5 million subscribers. His detailed instructions are impeccably researched, his build details are clever yet totally reliable, and his project designs are extremely fun and even “dangerous” in a good way. His videos are blueprints for his projects but also teach me how to do my own. — KK

For generations hipsters have been retro-fitting vans into mobile homes. Once they were VW vans; today they are Dodge Sprinter vans. The best source I’ve come across for tutorials on how to remodel a used cargo van into a roaming house is a YouTube channel by Dylan Magaster. Magaster collects diverse videos of hundreds of regular folks building their vans and tiny homes in great and satisfying detail. — KK

April Wilkerson is a woodworker and her YouTube channel is filled with her projects, like a chicken coop, a multipurpose garage storage station, a cedar fence, a walking cane, and more. She’s great at showing and explaining her work, and letting you see her mistakes and workarounds, which is very valuable. — MF
