Colin Furze is one of my favorite YouTube inventors out there. He’s a crazy ex-plumber with some of the weirdest but most well executed projects I’ve ever seen. In this video he creates a hover bike. Colin has a very interesting video style which is a combination of quick-cut manufacturing shots with comedic vlog-esk segments.…

I really enjoy the timelapse videos of people working on outfitting vans to live out of, but I also hate how much time they spend talking in the videos. Here is something along the same lines but with two people just getting to work and doing something really impressive in a short amount of time.…

Michael Reeves’ youtube channel consists of him building silly and counter-productive DIY robots – this one in particular is one of his funnier builds, where a robot tracks your face and shines a laser in your eye. I find this one particularly funny since for my final project, I had wanted to incorporate some facial…

I love this video because it shows the design intent of this home and it is far more than just a functional home. It takes aspects of industrial aesthetic and upcycling, as it used re-used shipping container. This home connects you to nature, by the open spaces, the decks, and the natural lighting. I hope…

I watch all sorts of DIY videos as I find that they can be tailored for…

I started my initial search by typing in “DIY Design Projects” and happened to stumble upon the following YouTube video! Pask Makes is a fantastic woodworker and craftsman, whose YouTube channel is dedicated…

Just a forewarning, this video does have some bad language in it, but nothing too serious. I chose this video as my favorite design/build video for a number of reasons. To start, I don’t actually tend to watch a lot of design/build videos. It’s just not something I tend to spend a lot of time…

When looking for design videos I came across what I can only describe as click bait. I watched it because I thought this is going to be so weird and stupid and then it turned out to be an amazing design video. The concept is intriguing and the artist executed it well. It is impressive…

I personally was always enamored with the scale of objects that the folks on that show were able to build. Adam Savage was always my personal favorite mainly due to his unapologetically nerdy demeanor. The show…

Evolution Primitive Time is a YouTube channel where two men build structures in the wild with their bare hands. They don’t use any automated tools or special gear. All they have is what the land has to offer and what they can build and create out of it with using only man power. The kinds…

One of my closest friends loves to build miniatures and so she got me addicted to watching miniature build videos. I think I am addicted because they are relaxing to watch (somewhat ASMR-y) and once you start a video you quickly get sucked in and have to watch through to the end because there is…
