If you enjoyed the recent article about the woodworking of Ahti Toplaan, you'll be intrigued to see where it all began with his YouTube channel. Three years ago, among his first three videos, Ahti made this tutorial on how to restore an old table.
The approach of his video-making has changed somewhat since he began three years ago, but it's still founded upon skills that he has perfected over three decades of carpentry. Skills that you can go ahead and try to apply yourself at home.
By the way, if you're in the city of Toronto and are interested in these skills but don't want to invest in your own woodworking tools, you can rent tools from Toronto Tool Library. Likewise, you can take classes in using hand tools at The Unplugged Workshop in the east end.
