Project Binky, from Bad Obsession Motorsport
Two rally car fabricators and lifelong friends in Shropshire who, over the last five years, have been fitting an AWD turbo Celica into the rusted out shell of an old Mini, while adding an air conditioner and a stereo. The craft and attention to detail are absurd.

I’m sure there are perfectly good reasons having to do with logistics, but I find it hilarious that they put the sound system in before they had the radiators built.
Doing the important work first :)

Binky is absolutely fantastic. I've been following it for years and it's great they're posting more often now that their Patreon is supporting the show.
I'd also add B is for Build.

Yeah, those channels are all on my list. How could I forget NYCCNC? He's taught me so much. I grew up with a pretty hands on education in basics of mechanics and woodworking, but youtube and web forums have made it possible for me to self-teach the CNC, Machining, and Woodworking hobby at pretty much any level I want to engage with it. There's always a video for what you want.
I listen to the Welding Tips and Tricks podcast that features a 60 year old from Alabama (Hi It's Jody from Welding Tips and Tricks) talking to two guys in rural Ohio. They regularly mention how Instagram in particular has encouraged friendly competition amongst welders. Whereas previously a great welder would only be known to the 20 guys in his shop, now he can post those intricate welds on Instagram and people countrywide try to emulate that technique. The maker community is positive, kind and encouraging. For all the negativity swirling around social media, it is nice to see it used in positive ways to unite people.
