I think you should. There is a big difference between not being an expert and someone who has no idea and still posts videos. Not being quite the expert will also be less intimidating for others to try ... for example net making. As an example. When I was still working in the fishing industry, I was pretty good at fixing nets and it would have been hard to slow down in order to show someone how to do it. Same with the purse nets I made. I could knock one of those out in under 45 minutes while watching TV. That tends to be intimidating for someone who is new to it. I would think that it would encourage more folks to give it a go if they see it demonstrated by someone who is not as proficient at it and a little slower so they can pick up how its done.
So yes, go for it and inspire others.
The difference between an expert and a novice is that the expert has failed more times that the novice has even tried

Also, be clear about not quite understanding something if you don't. " This is what I do but if yall got better ideas or suggestions, please post away in comment section"...or similar is better than skirting the issue IMO. I've learned a lot from comment discussions. My videos would be me just rattle down my list of questions and ask someone to hold my hand and tell me how to do it in comments if it was on reloading. Comments are also good when the person don't know but acts like they do. Lol.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

Please do this, wolfie.
Most importantly, as mentioned above, everyone's videos are unique to them, your own "slant", with your personality spicing it up, your own way of explaining , that can really help someone to understand , even with a smile.
A huge part of the fun of learning is not just technical information, but enjoying the person who is explaining , even with their own humor . People really like that.
My most favorite instructional videos are from those who put their personality into them, even fun comments what they're thinking along the way...even inserting some stories that go along with what they are showing in the moment.

Just post what you do. No matter who you are there is always someone who knows more and less.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

On any given subject everyone starts low on the learning curve and well presented basic material is as valuable as well presented expert material, it's just valuable to different people. The on-line audience is huge and includes folks of all different experience levels. So, present your experience without pretending to be an expert on what you are not and have at it.

You share information about the things that you enjoy , find interesting and that give you satisfaction. You share your own observations from your experiences. Anyone who puts you down because they fancy themselves a greater expert had best be prepared to demonstrate how they have done more to educate others.

Too many times bein an expert is the end of someone bein a student of life so I don't want to be one.
As far as videos I watch, I have zero problems with a man sayin "this is the first time I have tried this" or "I heard of something new I want to try, y'all can laugh at me if it goes wrong".
The good news about posts here and videos on social media is that they can be found at 2 am when nobody but you are up. They can be read or viewed 5 years from now, maybe even 15 or 20. I have no idea how old some of the trappers tips are but I still read em.
That's my 2 cents

In all seriousness, there is a lot of money made on Youtube and Rumble by guys doing similar things. There is a dude in NC that runs and excavator and films it, has over 100K subs. He makes money on the channel by showing people how he makes money at work.

I have seen some bad content and it wasn't yours
make sure it isn't your first go round on anything and that you have tested your end result first
if you can make a good product that works and show how you did it , then by all means post it.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
