In this video I show some dangerous things you should NEVER do in your shop!!!! What dangerous things can you suggest we never do in the comments?? ICE PICKS imakeny.com/co... GIANT RAZORS imakeny.com/co... My Patreon / diresta
My cousin lost a limb for every "don't ever do that" procedure you so bravely illustrated. I'm headed to his house now to feed him. I wish you had uploaded this public safety tutorial about a month ago.
This might be the most Diresta video ever. You're right, I won't be using any of the techniques shown because I've only been a hobby maker and wood worker for 10 years. Its likely I'll never posses the confidence or competence to pull any of these tricks off. And that's okay. I continue to watch your videos for inspiration. Shop safety is the responsibility of the person in their shop. 👍
Yeah not sure if he's serious or totally poking fun of safety videos, implying these things are actually ok to do? Either way, it's a Jimmy video so I'm watching it.
I might have worked with that guy. He is the guy that I learned electrical from. He didn't have a tool bag or a pouch. He just carried a pair of side cutters, channel locks, and a flat blade Klein screwdriver. That and a pocket knife could do most anything.
You have perfected the "sarcasm face". If you haven't developed a tingling sense in your neckbone telling you NOT to do something you might just accidentally cut your pinky finger off! (see now THAT's sarcasm!) I actually learned a few things in this video that i will never do!
Perfect visual display of "Do as I say not as I do" people often miss the interpretation and neglect the decades of experience required to perform such risky but sometimes necessary techniques to achieve the task at hand. Great video👍
This is the safest video on RU-vid. So safe, even the safety police didn't visit the comment section like they usually do. Keep up the good work on making the world a safer place by risking your own life and limb showing us what not to do. And remember: Heroes shouldn't wear capes around power tools.
Excellent video Jimmy! I can see both the safety tips and your sense of humor watching this video. Kudos! Now I am more aware of things to think about not doing in my own shop! 👍👍🔨🔨
This might be my favorite Jimmy Diresta video ever! These came straight from comments in his videos over the years. This is a brilliant response and I loved every second of it! I couldn't help laughing with each long pause!
I didn’t know that “tactical bit changing” wasn’t the right way to do things. That’s the way I was taught as a child. 😂 Thanks Jimmy for helping me be more safe!
Much of this is genuinely tough to watch. I'm waiting for the axe to fall. I'm surprised that people do these things. They are counter to common sense. Thank you for this video.
Especially, don't sharpen your pencil on a table saw while everyone on the job site waits! Good video Jimmy. Tongue in cheek but gets the point across.
Putting a groove in a piece of wood with a circular saw is just ingenious and I will NEVER! steal that idea and use it. Never! And apparently I've been changing my bits in a drill the dangerous way forever. Thank you for showing me what I've been doing so dangerously all these years. You're a saint!
I've used all these shortcuts at one time or another except the nail gun one. Nail guns are unpredictable tools and I've seen more injuries with them over all other wood working tools in my lifetime. Nails shot into feet, hands and legs I've seen it all. Looking forward to the old house episodes. Cheers 🇨🇦
It would be nice if other RU-vidrs could follow your lead as well, Jimmy, and share these vital and essential safety practices with us to keep more of us up-and-coming creators and makers safe in the workshop. 🤣Thank you so much for putting yourself in harm's way and taking the time out of your day to put this MUST-SEE video together and share it with us. I found the content invaluable for future reference. I especially liked how you show so much concern and compassion for your fan's well-being and safety. It is what makes you a cut above the rest. The GOAT. As always Love and Respect from North London UK. 😁👍🏻
OK Jimmy, I promise I will never again do all the things I have been doing for the past 30 years, thank you for risking life and limb for our educational purposes, god bless your selfless kind heart x
An old friend of mine once said that the foundation of all art is in the misuse of technology, and I would certainly agree that the way Jimmy uses these tools approaches an artform!
Just proves that Jimmy watches out for the children. Great tips. I will definitely not do any of these when I am in the shop. I'll just use my CNC instead so I can sit around and push buttons all day from a safe distance. Thanks, Jimmy!
This is the most mind blowing video! It undoes 23 years of Norm Abrams-induced safety mindedness! I'm gonna go take my guards off of EVERYTHING! It's a guard, not a stopper. Hell yeah!
I just reminded myself about not cutting wide pieces that are shorter than the blade diameter on a table saw with the fence in place. Fired the workpiece across the shop and broke it in half on my bicep as it went by. Hadn’t seen that stupid shit since college, when someone did it with a sheet of lexan, and fired a piece through the metal shop vac behind them. I should be safe for another 20 years on this reminder! 😂😂😂
This video is the greatest service to mankind there has ever been. This single video will advance survival of the fittest by at least 50 years. We just need about 80 more videos to break even.
I tried these... They all worked great! I am typing this with my nose right now, but the projects are all done! Thank you! I have a fork I hold in my mouth now to hold the shift key down when I need to. You get really good at it after awhile.
I can't tell if these are actually great and fantastic tips. Or dangerous things we shouldn't be doing. Diresta is so great and fantastic in the shop that nothing looks dangerous when he does it.
Excellent advice Jimmy, I will totally make sure to never attempt any of these crazy stunts, just to save time. Thank you for putting yourself in danger to teach... a true master.
I'm not even joking, I didn't even realize there was the second "right way" to change a bit!! I've only ever done it the "tactical way" LOL. I had no idea where you wee going with that one.😂😂
At first I thought this was gonna be a "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" Dad Jimmy video. But after the second long pause in the intro, I realized this was gonna be a "Hey kid, watch this" Fun Uncle Jimmy video.
The groove with the circular saw was 🤌But a great bit of advice at the end, "don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable." If you get that feeling in your stomach before you're about to make a dangerous cut, probably should take a step back and think of alternatives...
Oh Jimmy my “one way friend”, I LOVE you. You brought so much joy to my morning with your humor. I have been watching your videos for YEARS. This morning’s is my new favorite. Great techniques I vow I won’t use… unless, of course I need the outcome that doing it will produce. My favorite part is after the groove demo how you drag the circular saw off the table.
This is the best video!! Thank you for making great content! The drill was the best because I could tell it took everything in you to not tighten/loosen the chuck normally.
