There is something so satisfying about the flick of a blade! So in this video, I attempt to convert a folding knife to an automatic conversion.
This folding knife to automatic project was successful in concept, but with life and in the workshop, you tend to learn more from the mistakes. I learned a few things along the way, which only make my next knife conversion all the more successful!
This project was created for MAKE.
As with any company I produce videos for, I retain the right to post the video on my channel, so that my audience has the opportunity to view it as well.
I'll post as many videos as I have….
Thank you! Enjoy, Like, share , subscribe!

I love the failure ending. It's really cool to see that even Diresta doesn't get it right every time. Inspiring.

You gave a perfect example: "The way to get good at making is making." Thanks, Jimmy!

@TheTl33 4 года назад

I was really hoping this was going to be a “round 2” where you got it right. But just a repost. Still just as entertaining as the last time I watched it.

Andy Goodenberger yeah but he’s been doing a lot of collaborations with other creators. I’m sure he’s just trying to continue to get views to keep an income. I really wish he would revisit this concept though.

@patthegunsmith 4 года назад

Outstanding! With this video, you have gone way beyond 99.9% of everything one sees today by showing us something very special. That is something called HONESTY. Made my day. Thank you.

@PeterT1981 4 года назад

Admirable honesty. Failure is a very successful teacher. But, you have to be whole enough to accept the lessons.

Fail you say?!?! Nope!!! This is a makers lesson. This is version 1, a prototype. I can't wait for version 2!!! Jimmy Diresta keep those videos coming!!

@jermaineburgess7016 4 года назад

I like videos where inspiring people such as yourself @jimmydiresta show mistakes made. No matter how small of a mistake it is, I think it makes people wanting to give it a try feel a little more at ease knowing mistakes are even made by the masters too. Thanks Jimmy keep up the good and inspiring work

@lauraf361 3 года назад

What my husband and I love about your video is you admitted this did not work , which means you are a honest man. Well done. Looking forward to more of your videos 😆

Ingenious idea! Every one has failures.. without them we wouldn't learn. Ty for the lessons!

@JohnBare747 4 года назад

Failure is the best teacher, providing you learn from the failures and apply the knowledge gained and not give up.

@joemoreno1409 4 года назад

Something I learned from a place I used to work. One of their mottos, "Fail harder". Thanks for showing this Jimmy, it is honestly inspirational.

@2873lonewolf 3 года назад

I liked the video, step by step disassembly of a lock blade. Its even better when you admit some mistakes you had in the end. This is a much better show into what custom knife makers day to day struggles are. Makes you appreciate paying a little more for custom work.

@mdvener 4 года назад

Glad you used a new one. I have a 50 year old 110 Buck knife, with original case. The knife still looks great, the case shows its age. As always, you do a great job on anything your gifted hands touch.

@alfreds8766 4 года назад

You did not get there, but still was AWESOME!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

@israelgarcia7269 4 года назад

Jimmy, you have the most interesting channel on You Tube. I have learned so dang much and I am trying things that I never would have attempted before I started watching you. I really appreciate your talent, but equally as much, your ability to explain things that I can understand. Thank you!

@rodneydelaney9227 4 года назад

I don't see it as a failure. Learning makes progress. Good video Jimmy.

@1959ticktock 4 года назад

This is perhaps not said enough Jimmy - you are a fantastic film-maker. Some of the shots here are so detailed and focussed, yet you're also making a precision machine at the same time. Oh, and great soundtrack, when we can hear it.

@evaderknives 4 года назад

Way back in the 80's my Filipino friend gave me a broken switchblade from the philippines, I did the same thing to fix it. Then I found it almost 30 years later, bought actual parts to fix it, ended up buying a bunch of OTF's & switchblades, then a couple years later got the knifemaking bug, haven't looked back since hahaha... Hope all is well, take it easy...

@69virgin1966 4 года назад

Another great video Jimmy. I especially like the fact that you admitted a small set back/failure. It shows that even the great Jimmy Deresta can have a bad day. If I know anything about you it's that you don't give up. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks for sharing and God bless

@clark57225 4 года назад

The only way I can tolerate someone taking a perfectly acceptable knife, like the Buck 110, and destroying it before our very eyes is if Jimmy DiResta, or a person of his skill, knowledge and imagination attempts to make it even better. We all benefited from your attempt, and were privileged to watch it "unfold."

@breakinn403 4 года назад

Very educational! Thanks for the videos, & tips!

@robstirling3173 4 года назад

Don't give up, you got so far! Change the lock hole in the blade into a wedge slot, shallower towards the blade from the hinge pin. and make up a sliding, sprung lock with a matching wedge section. Keep the brass guides you added for the sliding lock. The sliding lock would be a lot more 'pocket safe' too. I look forward to seeing the result.

An honor to hear your humble admission, it in itself is an inspiration. A maker is constantly innovative which of course means success as well as failure, we learn, we grow, we move on. On the shoulders of the greats (like yourself) new avenues are pursued...love your spirit and honesty. God bless America.
