You should just do it - many years ago I started having a workshop when I was totally broke. Many years later and I have something comparable to Jimmy's.
I just got my first job recently so I am saving money. I built a workbench and a loft bed/desk (out of 2x4s) but that is it. But I have some fun projects in mind.
Most people would assume the footage is sped up to make the video less boring. What they don't realize is that jimmy actually works at these speeds and made the whole cannon in 15 minutes.
Bro Kapi sorry buddy but you’re WRONG! Jimmy works much faster! This video and his others are played in slow motion cause the average human eye can’t keep up with his awesomeness!!!
Here in Australia the Army Apprentices used to make a canon as part of their trade training, it's great to see these skill still exist, love the channel.
Never saw anyone using a boring bar on a metal lathe like it was a turning tool on a wood lathe, and then you started using a razor wow! That's one way to just get it done, nice! Nice to meet you at the open house too.
BOY , DID I EVER HIT THE VIDEO JACKPOT. THREE NEW VIDS, I'VE NOT SEEN ANY OFF JIMMY'S WORK FOR MONTHS . WHAT A REFRESHING MOMENT AND AS USUAL GREAT WORK JIMMY.
absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you handmake this beautiful cannon and then to see it and the others fire. Just takes your breath away. Thank you so much for sharing.
Just when I think I'm going to relax and be lazy this weekend I see one of your videos. Now I'm all inspired and I have an uncontrollable urge to do something productive. Well guess I'm going to the hardware store in the morning.
Damn, did I just see Jimmy protect his ways while using abrasives on the lathe? Hat's is off to you mate, keep that machine going for a good long while and avoid those abrasives on the ways.
I've just finished making my own cannon as a university project in England. I used chemiwood to turn it but in separate pieces, then mould and cast in fiberglass. I do love the way you were able to turn this all in one go. It looks incredible!
Amazement at the mix of oldar and newar technologies used. Envy for the skills, tools and shops, tempered with delight for a new Diresta video. Hat is off.
I was a maintenance man in a machine shop for quite a few years. I always saw the machinist' using a razor blade that way but it never occurred to me they were detailing the part. Bad Azz brother, as always :-)
Lethality in its full beauty, magnificent in its lines & proportions & strangely fascinating & a little disturbing how one is drawn to its curves & burning flames of shot & kinetic kill.
Awesome! There's something for everyone in this video. A bit of turning, a bit of milling, a bit of Cnc... what more could you ask for? Good one Jimmy!
As if turning metal wasn't already cool enough, then you go and make something that fires large projectiles. Beautiful work. That had to be fun to make as much as firing it. It sure is pretty, and it's only going to get better looking with age.
una cosa más genial que la otra, es increíble tu talento jimmy, siento una profunda admiracíon por el trabajo que realizas, por más que intento seguirte, creo que tu nivel de perfección es inalcanzable, aún así, te sigo a morir y te agradezco que nos compartas tu arte!!.. saludos desde chile hermnano!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear JimmyDiResta. Extremely well done showing very fine and precise craftsmanship. Even more fantastic that the very good taped video didn't content any blablabla or not fitting or bad or too loud music. Just a little working background sound. Completely perfect in my opinion! Congrats. Thanks a lot for sharing. Best regards.
Great work. Interesting that you had to tidy up the wheels, I had never thought of CNC plasma cutting being inaccurate before but I suppose that's the nature of cutting by an arc like that.
I really really enjoy watching your milling videos (I enjoy all of your videos actually), but something about watching metal go from dirty and dull to brought and shiney!
