It’s a refurbish, you could do it too!
Not that it isn’t great, but you would be surprised by the skills required, and the skills you have.

If you’re a first timer you’re not likely to get those replaced legs looking so seamless and natural. This project took a good amount of prior experience too.

If I had a workshop and work table like that I would spend every free minute in there doing stuff like this

That he's got access to a track saw shown there makes me think he's quite familiar with carpentry. This isn't some beginner DIY....

Having the tools doesn’t mean they are needed for every job. And he absolutely did not need a track saw for that cut. Sure, it made it easier, but there are other ways to do it that don’t require any expensive tools.
The finished product looks amazing, but I 100% disagree that a newbie couldn’t do this.

The fact he pulled out a track saw when it's not needed is what shows he's far better equipped than your average DIY guy.
