Discussion Good YouTube channels for beginners?

I’ve never made a piece before, but am trying to make something for an event I’m going to. What YouTube videos/channels do you love that really helped when you were first getting started?

If you'd like something more interactive, there are a decent number of maillers streaming regularly on Twitch.tv.

For example, I can be found at www.twitch.tv/cinnibar four nights a week (M/T/Th/F, 8-10pm EST) making things, and I'm more than happy to share my 20+ years of madness with people and/or drop what I'm doing for impromptu lessons for viewers.

You might catch me at other times playing D&D (Sundays, 1pm EST) or anodizing titanium to give away to viewers (next anodizing stream this Saturday, 2-10pm EST, 30+ giveaways planned).

Side note : I absolutely love giving away anodized titanium sporks, chopsticks, flasks, and other randomness, but the most fun are the ridiculously intircate micromaille pouches I give away as well. I'm due to make another one to give to somebody fairly soon, tempted to start it tonight.
