I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but here goes:

There are several BBC "Farm" series that have a plethora of information on how things were done historical.  Not only are they fun to watch, they explore topics such as making silage, tile making, charcoal production, tree hay, wattle and daub, hedging.... etc.  They can be found here:

I find myself watching them again and again because I catch something new each time.

If you enjoy the youtube videos on classic skills (I checked out the videos you linked and I enjoyed a lot of the history that channel has) but with a focus on homesteading and farming I might have a treat for you.

This fella has a TON of content in some very niche areas. The intro is a big goofy, and he too can be a bit over the top, but it is a pretty good watch or even listen.

For me, the very best place that I have ever found to learn about all kinds of things is right here on the forum.

I am much wiser than in 2016 when I found the forum.

I especially like these:
