My new jigsaw channel on YouTube

In April 2025 I started sharing my love of jigsaws on a new YouTube channel - Sheridan Does Jigsaws. This is a new venture for me and a steep learning curve. I've tried a few other YouTube launches in the past, but it's really hard to find the right niche - it has to be something people want to watch, something which I am consistently interested in, something which I have plenty to talk about, and something which I'm willing and able to create regularly and sustain long term.

I need to work out how to differentiate my videos from the others on YouTube - it's early days and I'm still feeling my way. The things I talk about are bound to consolidate and develop over time. There are a lot of 'speed-puzzling' jigsaw channels on YouTube (yup, that's a thing) but that's definitely not what I'm about. There's also a lot to learn about video editing, equipment, and what people want to see, for example, I'd never filmed timelapses before this month!

I'm a sucker for a rabbit hole of research, so I will probably include plenty of history in my videos. This fits well with the fact that I prefer nostalgia, heritage, coast, canal, countryside, and vintage jigsaws.

So here is my first video - please go to my channel - Sheridan Does Jigsaws - like and subscribe if you'd like to see more! It's hard to get a new channel started - likes are not particularly significant, it's watching all the way to the end of a video and subscribing which are most helpful to new YouTubers because these actions have a big impact on YouTube's algorithms.

I don't plan to share every new video on my Canalside Homes website or spam my subscribers with posts about them. If you want to follow my jigsaw adventures, subscribing on YouTube is the way to go!

Thank you, Sheridan
