I really enjoyed watching the videos but I must insist on the fact that what looks simple in fact is not, before reaching that level lots of practice is necessary.
Some elements struck me : the importance of correctly sharpened tools (not a problem for you). There are only shavings, sawdust only with sandpaper.
Getting two chairlegs identical requires constant control with calipers, no easy task.
You have also noticed the importance of angles, of logic, I'll repeat myself, a manual is an intellectual who can use his hands.

I highly respect people who can use their brain as well as their hands but I'm far from being an expert. Start with simple jobs you'll be fine.
