Bill Hammack, The Engineer Guy, has a number of videos taking a deep dive into the development of seemingly simple things. Disposable Diapers, Aluminum Beverage Cans and Coffee Pots are a few of the things he explains. He's also very approachable, willing to put his number out for SMS conversations.

Thanks a lot for these! As someone who grew up watching How It's Made, I found it surprisingly difficult to scratch the same itch since.


Absolutely. He also scratches my How It's Made itch. Another one to look at would be Practical Engineering, for the Civil Engineering side of things.

As a Mechanical Engineer, I love how Bill able to present technical subjects in a way that accessible to people up and down the mechanical aptitude spectrum. More than once I've considered "How would Bill say it?" when I needed to communicate technical things.
