Only ones I haven't seen mentioned so far:
Post Apocalyptic Inventor
German guy visits scrapyards to find tools and other items to repair out repurpose.
AudioPilz
Aka. Bad Gear. Reviews of synths and drum machines. Goes over the pros and cons, mostly cons. Does AV audio demo and 2 song demos with music videos made from retro cartoons and tons of meme content.
David Hilowitz Music
I guess I would call this mostly unusual music stuff. Lots of unusual and found or cheaply made diy instruments. He uploads sample libraries for then as well so you can make songs with them too.
Rose Anvil
Dissects shoes and boots so you can find footwear worth the cost.
I love bad gear. I’ve got many of the things he’s made videos about and I always get a laugh out of the endless rapid fire meme onslaught.
Sadly, I don't have any, but I still love the videos. My SO can't stand the sound of synths, plus I don't really know how to use one anyway. I do want to get a midi controller and learn to make some lofi stuff though. I think I could get away with that!
You could start by messing around with GarageBand on an iPhone or iPad. It’s free, surprisingly deep, and you can wear headphones to not bother your SO.
