The first year of YouTube was mostly about sharing videos with friends, family and even colleagues, and on December 13, 2005 John Leeke, @John Leeke a historic preservationist made history by posting the platform&#8217;s first woodworking video.<\/p>\n<p>Frank Howarth @frank howarth  would create the first woodworking channel on July 8, 2006, followed shortly after by Marc Spagnuolo @The Wood Whisperer  on Oct 18, 2006 and Matthias Wandel @Matthias Wandel on Apr 9, 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The recession in 2008 contributed to only a handful of new channels emerging over the next few years. Ones who are still posting today include Carl Jacobsen, Colin Knecht, Chad Stanton, WoodWorkers Guild Of America, Chop With Chris, myself, Ana White, Jon Peters, Alain Vaillancourt, Stumpy Nubs, Samurai Carpenter, John Heisz, and Paul Sellers.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, the flood gates opened, ushering in the Golden Age of YouTube woodworking and maker channels (2013-2017), followed by the Influencer Era and the COVID era. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been a long time YouTube viewer, I hope you enjoy this nostalgic look at the early days and if you&#8217;re new to the platform, maybe you&#8217;ll check out some of this early content. A lot of it might seem rough by today&#8217;s standards, but it was content made by a few passionate people for the sheer joy of sharing videos about woodworking.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to @April Wilkerson, @DIY Creators, @Fix This Build That, @Anne of All Trades, @Modern Builds, @jimmydiresta, @Jon Peters &#8211; Longview Woodworking <\/p>\n<p>*<br \/>\nLearn how to get started woodworking and set up shop for less than $1000.
