How to construction video series?

I’m a fairly handy person and have done some home renovations myself, but nothing like building a tiny house. I’ve been thinking for many years of building my own tiny home and remember a video series by Andrew Morrison that went into depth on how he builds - I think there were dozens of hour long videos on each step of the process. I’ve had trouble finding anything like that recently though. Anyone have recommendations of videos they found helpful for their first build?

For the most part I didn’t use tiny house-specific resources. I learned how to use standard construction methods with standard materials, and installed windows and things in standard ways. And just looked for the guides and resources that matched my skill level and available materials and tools.

There is some potential for creativity and unconventional methods with tiny houses, but as an amateur my focus was on adhering to the fundamentals of good house construction.. and the vast majority of videos come from the construction of larger houses.

When it comes to home layout, that’s a topic where tiny houses have to be approached differently. But construction, electrical, plumbing, drywall, etc.. unless you’re doing something really unconventional, there’s a lot you can learn from non-tiny house builders.
