Milling/ machining videos.
I watched a guy build an X axis power feed this morning. His use of collet blocks was amazing.
I learned a bunch in a 30 minute video.
I’ve been focusing mostly on horizontal milling.
I have always liked Tubal Cain/ mr. Pete videos. I find him to be a great teacher on manual machines.

and don't miss SV Seeker..... from the very first welds (in Tulsa, Oklahoma 14 years ago) to taking it down the Arkansas River (in October... yeah, it got cold on a couple nights) down to raising the sails (in Pensacola, Florida, last weekend).

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

The video I watched yesterday had a guy making a power feed out of a windshield wiper motor.
His work was awesome.
I don’t haul stuff to the scrap yard I haul stuff away from the scrap yard.
About 5 years back I went to a scrap yard in MO that was full of farm equipment. I hauled home enough blacksmith metal to last me 5 years. Time to go back.
