About Between the Sharks

Between the Sharks, operating under the handle @betweenthesharksgarage on YouTube, is a content creator focused on the intersection of home DIY and automotive restoration. The channel documents the technical processes involved in reviving abandoned machinery and properties, emphasizing hands-on craftsmanship. Content pillars include classic car rescues, engine rebuilds, vintage tool restoration, and the structural renovation of old houses. With a library of 370 published videos, the channel provides a detailed look at the mechanical and logistical challenges inherent in restoration projects, ranging from small-block Chevy engine rebuilds to the revitalization of rusted classic vehicles like Datsuns.

The creator’s editorial approach prioritizes the documentation of the full restoration lifecycle, including both technical successes and project setbacks. By focusing on the 'barn find' and 'abandoned property' aesthetic, the channel caters to an audience interested in tangible, real-world engineering and home improvement. The content serves as a procedural guide for viewers interested in mechanical repair and property maintenance, positioning the creator within the broader home-DIY and automotive-enthusiast sectors. As of October 2026, the channel has accumulated 17,466,609 total views, reflecting a sustained interest in long-form restoration content. The channel maintains a consistent focus on the history and technical specifications of the objects and structures featured in each project, providing a narrative-driven look at the preservation of forgotten machines and spaces.

Between the Sharks's estimated sponsorship rates

The estimated market rate for a video integration on Between the Sharks ranges between $317 and $512, with a typical valuation of $390. These figures are derived from the channel’s current subscriber count of 131,000 and a niche-specific CPM band of $13 to $21, anchored at $16. Because the channel operates within the home-DIY and automotive restoration sectors—niches characterized by high-intent audiences and specialized product interest—the CPM reflects the value of the technical expertise demonstrated in the content.

Several factors influence this pricing structure. First, the channel’s audience tier is classified as 'mid,' which balances reach with a specific, engaged demographic interested in tools, automotive parts, and home improvement supplies. Second, the format—long-form restoration videos—typically allows for deeper brand integration compared to shorter, entertainment-focused content. This allows for higher engagement rates during product demonstrations or tool reviews. The pricing model accounts for the channel’s reliance on a fallback view-count estimate of 24,366, as specific 30-day average view data is currently unavailable. As the creator continues to document complex, multi-part restoration projects, the potential for higher-value sponsorships increases, particularly with brands seeking to reach viewers who are actively involved in DIY maintenance. For a detailed breakdown of how these specific variables interact to produce these estimates, please refer to the InfluencerUnion methodology page.

Who should partner with Between the Sharks?

The audience for Between the Sharks is primarily composed of individuals interested in home-DIY projects, automotive mechanics, and historical property restoration. The demographic profile aligns with viewers who engage with content related to classic trucks, engine rebuilds, and the structural renovation of older homes. This audience segment is highly valuable for brands in the automotive aftermarket, power tool manufacturing, home improvement retail, and vintage restoration supply sectors.

When compared to peer creators in the home-DIY niche, such as FIX IT Home Improvement Channel (130,000 subscribers) and じぶん流DIYちゃんねる (121,000 subscribers), Between the Sharks occupies a similar mid-tier position. The channel’s audience overlaps significantly with those of Marcenaria de Hoje (116,000 subscribers) and Pindi Sidhu Farm (115,000 subscribers), suggesting a cross-interest in both mechanical repair and specialized craftsmanship. Viewers of this channel are likely to be 'do-it-yourselfers' who prioritize technical accuracy and procedural detail over high-production entertainment. The channel’s focus on the 'hidden history' of objects and structures attracts a demographic that values longevity and the preservation of classic machinery. While the specific geographic distribution of the audience is not currently tracked, the content’s focus on US-based restoration projects and classic American automotive hardware suggests a strong core following within the United States, consistent with the creator’s primary operational base.

Between the Sharks's growth and performance

As of the most recent data snapshot on October 4, 2026, Between the Sharks maintains a subscriber base of 131,000. The channel was first tracked by our systems on October 4, 2026, at the same 131,000-subscriber count. Consequently, the current delta for the observed period is 0 subscribers over a 1-day span. Because the tracking window is limited to this single snapshot, a long-term growth trajectory or velocity analysis cannot be determined at this time. We do not yet have historical view-count data to correlate growth patterns with specific video releases or project milestones. Future updates will provide a more comprehensive look at the channel’s subscriber acquisition rate and view-count trends as more longitudinal data becomes available through our tracking systems.

How our pricing estimate works for Between the Sharks

The valuation and audience estimates provided for Between the Sharks are generated through a proprietary algorithmic model developed by InfluencerUnion. This model calculates the typical video integration rate by multiplying the creator's subscriber count by a niche-specific CPM (Cost Per Mille) band, further adjusted by platform-specific and format-specific multipliers. For this channel, the calculation utilizes a niche CPM band of $13 to $21, with an anchor of $16, reflecting the specialized nature of the home-DIY and automotive restoration categories. In instances where real-time 30-day view data is unavailable, the algorithm employs a subscriber-based fallback estimate to maintain consistency in valuation. These estimates are intended to serve as a baseline for market analysis rather than a fixed price.
