Picture this: Your uncle who likes to drink beer in a two-car garage crammed full of mills, lathes, and bins full of transducers and BUNA-N O-rings, while milling steel, tearing down and scrutinizing tools from Harbor Fright and DeWilt and explaining every last thing from the plastic it's sheathed in to the functioning of pneumatics, hydraulics, and electric motors, cobbling together weird machines, and cussing while talking amicably about life. That's basically what goes on. His day job is doing mechanical engineering for governments and companies around the world. When he comes home, we get to watch him mess around in his workshop. As of today, he's got 587K subscribers.
I have to warn you. These videos are addictive. If you click one, your whole weekend could be shot. Also, he says things like "That's the **** for Dolly" pretty much all the time.
