if the repairs are on camera and posted to YouTube, wouldn't that count under a business expense? 


Is the YouTube channel a business? Are you operating it as a business and making a profit from it, or at least making a business-like attempt to make a profit? If it's not a profit-making business, the IRS considers it a hobby, and you cannot deduct any of the expenses.
