I watch a ton of woodworking channels on youtube, and I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen anyone use prestain conditioner. If anything, they all seem to love single coat stains.

There's quite a lot of non-US/CA woodworking channels out there, though.

Paska Makes, Australia

Woodshop Junkies, South Africa

Paoson Woodworking, Spain

JSK-koubou, Japan

Laura Kampf, Germany

Crimson Guitars, UK (Mostly luthier projects, but Ben does some crazy stuff that I think woodworkers could find inspirational in general)

Dekay's Crafts, Korea

Get Hands Dirty, Portugal

Resin Timber, Lithuania

I've seen plenty of others - these are just some of the ones that I subscribe to.

Damn that man for working so incredibly neat and tidy. No stains on his virginal birch-ply, ever — not even a smudge. Sawdust seems to bend to his will, and all cuts and holes drilled are surely accurate to the micrometer.

His workspace is as clean as an operating theatre.

Yeah… That's not ever going to happen in my shed.

He's insanely talented.

His recent router table build is also awesome - I'm planning on purchasing a copy of the plans and building it when I get a bit more free time.
