    Why NOT to use existing music and clips, EVEN PAID and LEGAL. Does “FAIR USE” apply on YouTube?

    June 15, 2021 /

    A friend of mine has this neat Marshall keyrack and I thought I would try to make one. I also take it to the next level and make a key holder inspired by Orange amps. This is a neat way to keep your keys organized.

    Whycome he only has 175 subscribers?

    April 18, 2021 /

What made me decide to talk about THIS particular channel, out of all the channels out there who could probably use a boost, was that his subscriber count was surprisingly low (175 at time of this video being made) and because he is making videos with a TON of heart and effort… on a regular basis. Inspiring stuff right here, y’all.
