Ben Eater's pedagogy is top-notch for sure. But there are others out there. One worth noting is James Sharman[1] who has constructed a completely new, self-designed 8-bit CPU that features a two-stage instruction decode pipeline, and is currently adding scratch-built peripherals to it.

I really appreciate Ben Eater's production values. He doesn't gloss over mistakes, but it's not just a direct recording of experiments. His videos have a definitely planned direction and it makes it much easier to watch.
