  • Meet Yarko a woodworker from Ukraine, he had his own small business in Ukraine creating furniture and cabinet for his customers. Then the full scale war started. He contacted me via Instagram and 1 short month later I picked them up from the airport here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

    I did not realize your heritage is/was Ukrainian - I'm sure I should have, from your last name. But, I'm not that hung up on who's from where. My ancestors were Swiss/German.
    Welcome, Yarko, and family! 🙂I hope you get to stay as long as you need to, or want to. And I certainly hope this war can be brought to a merciful end sooner than later.
    Loved the video; keep 'em coming! 🙂

    Respect to you and your family for doing all that you can to help him and his family out when they really need it 💯% 👍. I don't have any Ukrainian relatives or anything else that I'd consider me a Ukrainian descendant but i can honestly say that since day one of the Russian's invading Ukraine ive been following the whole process every single day and several times a day if truth be told that said I can't wait for the day that Ukraine's soldiers and people force the Russian orc's to leave the Ukrainian lands and they are punished by the international courts for their actions🤔. SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 the UK 🇬🇧 stands with you alway's!!!

    I love voice overs, but closer shots and more details would be nice. Wide shots at 4x speed doesn't allow taking in the details of the wood or work. Nice to see a furniture video again! What happened to your staff on the furniture side? They move over to lumber side or leave?

    • @CanadianWoodworks

      For sure Brian, I agree with you. I guess this was less about learning about table building then usual. Yes my guys moved on to bigger better things (-: Blessing is disguise as my furniture business has slowed down while my lumber business is busy as ever! So my attention is more on Legacy Lumber vs Canadian Woodworks

      Hi, When I moved into this larger shop space. I wanted strong flat tables to work on and that I could quickly and easily put away some where when I need the open space. They have been great, light weight and flat / strong. I actually made a program for my cnc to cut all the pieces from 4x8 sheets, so pretty quick!

    I'm glad Yarko was able to escape that mess. It's my understanding that 14:09 Zelensky was not very popular before the war. He certainly did not do himself any favors by allowing amerikkka to use Ukraine as a proxy puppet. Amerikkka, (the "innocent advocate"😂) the same country that has invaded and colonized 97 sovereign countries, lost their minds when Cuba, a country near to them became Russia-friendly. How is Russia supposed to react when nato (amerikkka's invented incursion tool) started pushing eastward to Russia's borders?

    I have to confess to being torn by this. On one hand you’ve done a great thing and i totally understand why he left Ukraine with his wife BUT my wifes family haven’t done that, or at least the men….have not. They’ve dutifully obayed the law in Ukraine and stayed to help defend the country in anyway that they can. I hope Canada let’s him stay after the 3 years because once Russians have been pushed back, deserters won’t be welcome back…in fact he faces jail.
