I get some laughs out of Hoovie's Garage and Doug DeMuro.

I watched a few of his videos, and decided he needs to turn the enthusiasm down about 500%.
Gray's Garage - I find this stuff fascinating, especially the aerodynamic visualizations but to be honest I haven't been able to make it through an entire episode without falling asleep. https://www.youtube.com/user/RotaryRebuilder

BMCO - I like the style of this guys videos. I like how he goes about fabricating things. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsJU17u9dqtsG8Dy7VF067A/videos
A while back I came across the Rainy Projects channel: It's a young guy who farms out in Oregon; not really automotive related but he's done some really cool modifications to his barn - some impressive steel and wood doors, lighting, a nice deck off the upper level and so forth. There's also a bunch of fabrication and repair jobs around the farm that are worth checking out as well.
They videos are very well made - the videography is good, they're well edited and he's a good host.
Another one I like: Steam powered machine shop
Edit: also Conedodger motorsports Some autox stuff, plus a MKII Supra project, incoming old Datsun truck project. Good stuff.
UPDATE!!! I had to throw these two youtube shows in the mix. My son and I watch these two all the time. It's kind of addictive., and I've made so much money off of my 7 y.o.! Check It!

DCR is my favorite track
Next up;

I'm not as crazy about the track, itself, but I like the commentating and quirky commercials.
I agree with some of the others but one not mentioned is Boost Brothers Garage. They do mostly Porsche stuff. It's two guys trying to build their cars on a budget. It's not the most slick presentation, but they really show how to install parts and fix stuff.

see Ed and girlfriend (sometimes) travel the world on a Honda 90 step thru bike
Asia back to the UK , Alaska to Argentina halfway thru......
Funny and they go to amazing places
Shameless self-promotion:

Mostly videos of autocross right now but will do more build stuff later.
Went back through and didn't see one I go to for my lack of knowledge. Now don't laugh but it's ChrisFixIt. I'm really not much of a YouTube junkie.
Soup by George Karellas has awesome stop-motion builds. Very well filmed and edited.
My channel has builds, rallycross, track days, and some cool car stories.
I enjoy Lazze Metal Shaping
I don't really know the channel (William Longyard?), but this video of Wray Schelin walking through shaping a fender from aluminum is awesome. I'll certainly be checking out what else is on the channel...
Oh yeah, one more for This Old Tony. I've been enjoying Alex French Cooking Guy, which I got to by way of This Old Tony in an odd YouTube cross-polination...
The Goodwood channel stuff is great, especially the Revival touring car races.
And whether or not it's great information, ChrisFix totally got me off my butt and gave me a detailing overview I was able to act on, and it was good enough to make me happy about how my car looked inside for a change.
In reply to Ransom :
I stumbled across Lazze Metal shaping a few years ago, pretty amazing stuff. I have picked up so many tips fir the beadroller and English wheel.
Since a lot of gearheads tend to be interested in firearms, Forgotten Weapons is a fun channel. Even if you don't shoot, it's still interesting to see the history of some strange and obscure guns that have been made over the centuries. He puts out about one video every day, so over the past 4" years he's built up quite a catalog of videos.

Forgotten Weapons is technology porn!
Jeep Overlanding, exploring remote old sites, camping, survival, firearms etc.

For those that missed this like I did it's worth your time to check out Soup. It's a very well made show and series.
Just subscribed to throttlegrotto even though I haven't had a chance to watch, you had me at boxsturd lol

Anything new?
I really enjoyed Vice Grip Garage, funny and reminds me of many I've known living back east.
I really wish I didn't live in CA where everything is stupid money and impossible to register, let alone drive.
I've been watching 4wd Action every day during lunch. Very heavy on the product placement but I like watching a "reality" show where the participants don't act like they hate each other's guts.
I watch a lot of whats already been listed but didn't see anyone mention The Fab Forums. I don't remember what tool I was looking for when I stumbled on his "you need this tool" series but its one of the things I watch sometimes when I wake up before the family.

Three channels that I haven't seen mentioned.
Mustie1 (https://www.youtube.com/user/mustie1) finds "rusty old junk" at yard sales and the like then brings them back to life. Mostly small engine stuff, mini bikes and air cooled VWs.
Fuzzy Dice Projects (https://www.youtube.com/user/FuzzyDicePimp) works on (mainly) GM stuff and does projects in a very GRM way.
Aging Wheels (https://www.youtube.com/user/agingwheels) has a Trabant, a Saab 96, a Wheego and a School Bus for projects.
I wouldn't be surprised if any or all of these guys are already on the board.
