For woodworking with hand tools:

You can't go wrong with Paul Sellers.

For printed materials, there is Christopher Schwarz and his Lost Art Press. Obviously, the books aren't free, but his first in the "Anarchist" series transformed my approach to my hobbies, not just woodworking.

The YouTube channel Frank's Workbench has a lot of great stuff, too.
