Not a YouTube channel unfortunately but there are several videos and documentaries about it.
The castle of Guedelon is exactly what you are describing.
In France a group of archeologists decided to build a full castle, from scratch pretending to be in the XIIth century.
A blacksmith is making the tools, they are chopping trees in the first forest around, extracting stones from a local carry, carrying on carts built by the Carpenter, making their own clothes …
It’s amazing !
I can offer something in between: Clickspring. He started re-making the Antikyera (SP?) mechanism, was criticized for using modern tools for this, and then started developing and using tools basically from scratch like the people in Greece could have made and used them.
It’s not medieval but something that feels in the same Genre to me is Townsends on youtube. They do historical videos about 18th/early 19th century America - mostly recipes
I know about townsends and have watched some of their videos but I’m not a fan on american only centered stuff
This channel is clearly inspired by John, I think he even says so in the description. Maybe not quite medieval but definitely up the right alley youtube.com/@gesithasgewissa
It’s not EXACTLY the same, but this guy does a pretty good job of hitting the same vibes:
I was about to suggest the same guy. His stuff is brilliant.
Townsends is a little bit later than medieval, but scratches that same itch. Their stuff is high quality too.
Not equivalent, but Lindybeige makes fun content about medieval times.
I love that show, my son does too!

There are no medieval equivalents to YouTube channels, since YouTube wasn’t invented for at least a decade after the medieval period.
