In this video i make an aluminum tool box using the TIG welding method. This is the very first time i made full project using the Tig method and of course i need practice. I left the welds as is as a moment in time for my personal learning and plan to practice and get better for future projects!
Thank you!!!

Thank you all for the love and comments this tig work was really the first time I ever did as much in Aluminum as I have in one sitting. As you can see i need practice by the time I did the tray I was getting better. I left the bad welding as a moment it time ...to get better from. Enjoy

@rockingtm40 6 лет назад

jimmydiresta, I very much enjoyed this one. I love the look with the ironwork and the polished aluminum. Critics “LIKE IT SAYS”, built for work !!!! I am a pipe welder, by trade and have done lots of aluminum work besides. TIG torch is the way to go. Keep it up....soon it will come natural. In “85” my college instructor could weld two pop cans together (bottom to bottom bevels) Crazy, I still can’t do that lol. Keep it up brother, love it all !!!! T. Morgan

These are the type of vids that got me hooked on your channel. No need for talking. I don’t care about your daily life, I just like watching people build cool stuff, and you never let me down.

@Makerdude23 4 года назад

How on earth can you know how to build basically anything and be so fluent in all materials? I love building and working with my hands but you've shown what's really possible! I'm humbled and inspired by your work. Thank you so much for sharing these videos.

@theislandworkshop8453 6 лет назад

we are in the process of getting some welding equipment. i had ago at arc welding for the first time recently. cant wait to get stuck in. it reminds me of my first tool box when i was a kid.

@buildandstuff9779 6 лет назад

Holy crap! That is a beautiful piece of work! I never thought a tool box could be so shiney!

@springwoodcottage4248 6 лет назад

Wrought element 26 adds such character to the lines & shine of element 13, lifting both into the lustful gaze of desire. Thanks for sharing!

@kenanderson2002 4 года назад

I was gonna say the same thing about the welds, but honestly, I love that you kept them as they were since this is a learning experience for you. Jimmy, you are probably one of the most talented people I’ve ever seen and I absolutely love your videos. Please never ever stop making them!

I'm always amazed by those who work with metal. If I ever move to a new shop that isn't my basement, I want to get into metalworking for sure! Awesome build! The tool box looks awesome!

@northshorepx 6 лет назад

I started watching then I realised I was missing something so I slowed ti down at 1/2 speed. WOW!!! Amazing to see such a master craftsman at work. I've never slowed your videos before and I was enthralled. Thanks for sharing you skills with us.

@phunkissartisticcreations2316 6 лет назад

We're glad you kept the welds the way they are so some day you can look back at it and see how far you've come. Love, love, love the twisted handle.

@Anex9286 6 лет назад

Honestly your creativity and originality are so inspiring, I’d die to have 10% your talent! But most of all, you’re real

@USA5.56X45 6 лет назад

His tig welding is only going to get better and better. Honestly it's impressive for his very first tig project. I admire Jimmy for his desire to continually learn new skills.

@jimmydiresta 6 лет назад

Drain The Swamp thank you 🙏🏼

@s4n714g000 6 лет назад

I like it, a little rough around the edges and those handles make it look like it was made to be abused, just like an old tool gained its patina through the years, that reflective surface is begging for scratches. It'd be great for a present, maybe to someone young starting out, that way you get to see it age. Thank you Jimmy!

@AlecSteele 6 лет назад

This was an awesome project! Now I want to build my own toolbox too! 🙏

@untrust2033 4 года назад

Great work, as a long time maker its almost therapeutic to watch a project come together so nicely. Thanks.

@PrometheusDaft 6 лет назад

It wouldn't be a Jimmy Diresta video without the chipmunks. Well done, sir.

@B-leafer 11 месяцев назад

Sweet! The nice thing about this is, you can build it to an off size that you can't get at a box store.

@michaelt.9372 4 года назад

Awesome build. Rivets are underrated and I love using them

@dimidomo7946 5 лет назад

Skilled in all forms of MAKE, without a doubt. Next project: a clear acrylic heavy duty toolbox. What? Sure, you can see exactly what tools are in your box. The go-to box would be as safe as any other because, whether it be acrylic, metal or wood, craftsmen seldom leave their toolboxes in a position to be stolen anyway. Durable for sure, rustproof for sure, workable for sure, practical without a doubt. Give it a go Jimmy.

@gregormiller4037 6 лет назад

On my way home from a few hours of water skiing the river, I notice JD has posted. At 60 mph with my Mastercraft in tow, I slam on the brakes!! OHH, shiney object, me like:) And now for DiResta the story. Good day.

@dijohnson7 6 лет назад

This week's episode brought to you by the such&such rivet company, for all your rivetting pleasures!

@W4TRI 6 лет назад

Pop rivets. That will stay together forever. The box my dad gave me is built the same way and has only made it 55 years so far.

@ikm64 6 лет назад

Isi't a joy to watch a craftsman in the act of creation.

@4IN14094 6 лет назад

My tool box is a hand made one that I "borrowed" from my crew leader when he retires. All solid rivets and no welding using leftover aircraft scraps and sheet metals.

@jgeph2.4 5 лет назад

Please take a young person under your wing and keep this kind of craftsmanship alive for the generations to come . 🙏🏼

@gaffyh1745 6 лет назад

Love the juxtaposition of the flat smooth mirror surfaces with the welded edges.

@adamyorke7869 6 лет назад

I have got to learn to weld. Very well done, brother. Nice thick gauge. Reminds me of my Dad's old Craftsman toolbox that I love so much.

@swiftwelding3046 6 лет назад

This takes me back. I worked at a place making aluminum tool boxes for semi trucks for about a year - the wads of Nitto paper were constantly being lobbed at each other across the shop... like a snow ball fight that never ended. Good times.

@victorfiori105 6 лет назад

I thought it was steel until i watched him cut it in half with a table saw.

@CA-gy4qf 6 лет назад

We do the same will balls of masking tape at my work 😂

@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 лет назад

I really dig the forged handles! also like that you cut the box in half like you would a wood box.. wouldn't think of doing that with aluminum.

@85chevysw 6 лет назад

Dont get me wrong, i love every project you have ever done. ( I've been watching you for years now. ) But this is one project that i could use on a daily basis. I absolutely love it. I love the industrial look from the forged handles and rivets and the welds. If i could ever get something made from you. This is what i want. I love it.

@Andrea-bw8xm 4 года назад

Jeez. Jimmy...is there anything you can't do?! Amazing. Love to watch you create...restore...invent. .everything you do...thanks!

@ChristianMercadoAcevedo 6 лет назад

Great Job Jimmy! I imagine someone bringing this toolbox to Antiques Roadshow in 2090....

@Critt3er 6 лет назад

Thanks for the inspiration, Jimmy!! I haven't used a Bending Brake since High School!! Brings back great memories!! Thanks!!

@joshsmith4488 6 лет назад

I enjoyed watching this build. Thanks for showing that you are also still learning new skills as well.

@Wieselkatze 6 лет назад

I actually liked the look of the polished surfaced along with the kinda rough welds. Gives it a unique look. Good job

@FuckYouYouFuck 6 лет назад

Takes me back to high school. I remember making a similar toolbox bent from sheet steel, with double folded safety edges, spot welded at the seams and finished in metallic green hammer-tone paint.

@tiffanyjohnson3110 6 лет назад

I'm most inpressed with being able to forge your own handles any way you want. I hope to learn some blacksmithing in my future. Much love xoxo

@FigmentsMade 6 лет назад

Lovely! I really like how the handle on the tray matches the handle on the toolbox. And the darker iron is a great contrast to the shiny aluminum.

@bendingsands87 6 лет назад

Hey Jimmy. I think you should mention something about pop rivets in your description or title also. I am familiar with them, but anyone who searches for videos regarding pop rivets should have this pop up on their results because this was an amazing use of them. ☺ loved this video!

@Watthead80 6 лет назад

That's a toolbox I'd love to have around the shop. If I were to do one, I'd use some walnut or another dark wood, with a little brass to help compliment the alum. Hats off to you Jimmy. Another job well done.

@MajWinters100 5 лет назад

Revisiting this video, I find it funny how I can feel a rustic yet a refined feel to it. Thanks for the video, Jimmy

@mohammedtroy4296 6 лет назад

godfather i have a precision tig 225 also i used that to practice my aluminum welding great work

@TheHandystanley 6 лет назад

As I watched this I could not help but think how pop-rivets are underutilized and underestimated - like pocket hole screws. GREAT look....

@CPUDOCTHE1 6 лет назад

That is a nice shiny tool box. TIG welding takes a lot of practice and hand/eye coordination. Keep at it. I am sure you will be running with the big dogs one day.

@dantaylor7416 6 лет назад

Something always so satisfying about installing rivets!

@MrLukhut1 6 лет назад

Awesome build! The mirror aluminum really tops it off

@ranjdall 6 лет назад

Finally a rainy day, think I have a couple months of your videos to catch up on

@samambrotv 6 лет назад

You make it look effortless. I aspire to get to this level.

@PayrollTips 6 лет назад

Remember making one of them in collage, was not as heavy duty as the one you made, but that brought back some memories :)

@mc4kvb 6 лет назад

Wow what a great job Jimmy! To watch you cut and shape the box was something special to see. I know you said you weren’t good but heck that looked great to me! Thanks for sharing and congrats on transgressing into a field you hadn’t done much of before....ie welding!!

@ALPACABOWLCOMPANY 6 лет назад

Appreciate getting to watch, gives me great ideas & inspiration.

@ioiwut4874 6 лет назад

I gotta stop staying up until 6:30 am on youtube. You end up trying to watch DiResta videos at .25x speed. And you hear things.

@DennisSmakIver 6 лет назад

Jimmy it craks me up that you whip the things you make after polishing them up at the end of your videos 😃👍 it's like you're punishing them for being so awesome!

@motorcyclelad 6 лет назад

Crazy! This kind of build is one of the main reason I subbed years and years ago! 50lbs empty weight:)

@marcvanherck 6 лет назад

Is there something you can't make? I have seen almost all of your build videos and I am always amazed by the result. True craftsmanship. Marc Belgium

@yakker555 5 лет назад

Cool build.His videos make me want to put my name on absolutely everything I own.

@pcsweeney3898 6 лет назад

Long time follower, first time comment. That was really cool.. I enjoy watching you fabricate things. I wish my mind worked and see things like you do. You make things look so simple. You inspire me.

@bruceabe3139 6 лет назад

excellent work for your first aluminum TIG project. TIG welding aluminum is gotta be the toughest to welding jobs. Its like the old joke "how do you get to Carnegie Hall....Practice!" keep up the fine content.

@leighrose5291 6 лет назад

I love how everything just delicately clinks about in your videos haha

@Djlukz 6 лет назад

I was thinking I hope he does a unique twisted handle and than I seen you forging just the tips and I was like aw too bad..NEXT THING YA KNOW you added that diresta touch! Very nice.

@damascusfreak1967 6 лет назад

Nice job craftsmanship at it finest.

@takeitez9894 6 лет назад

You have the best eye ball measuring tape, nice tool box. I want.

@Phantomthecat 6 лет назад

Wasn't sure where you were going with that handle for a start but WOW, looks awesome! 👍 Good call leaving the welds, you'll be able to see the journey you go on over the years as you master the process. 😊

Thoughts that run through my head when watching Diresta videos, how is he gonna...oh that's how! Well what about the... Oh I see. Wow I never thought of that! Thank for the inspiration to try something new!

@jasperrogers7887 6 лет назад

gonna be an epic flea market find in 100 years!

@mikehornsby599 6 лет назад

@guybareli6982 6 лет назад

Forging, Tig welding all in one project... You're the best!

@joel42097 6 лет назад

Made a similar toolbox in high school shop class, only 14 gauge though lol not quite as robust, might have to build another now

@AngieWilliamsDesigns 6 лет назад

This is simply amazing. I absolutely love this project. It looks great. By far, my favorite part is the handles. The perfect touch. This makes me want to try welding again. LOVE! I

@Jacob.Hajarat 6 лет назад

Awesome, I think u should have reinforced the revets with a small piece of metal from the inside to distribute the weight of the box, because this will either pop out the revets or dent the top from the weight of the box

@jeremyspecce 6 лет назад

I could make a tig welded aluminum toolbox with forged handles too, if I had a pop rivet tool. 😻 Beautiful work.

@robertb4969 6 лет назад

I like the fact that it’s all pretty, but rough around the edges.. it’ll be a good work box. Rugged, unrefined, yet elegant.. nice use of pop rivets.. probably a very under utilized fastener.

@w0rthless6 6 лет назад

amazing work as always jimmy! love the rough welds-always cool to see the hand of the maker in the work

@shanemilehi 6 лет назад

Built one of those for my dad in 7th grade metal shop. Not as heavy duty but it was fun

@adamepb 6 лет назад

I rarely see you measure anything, but the work is always outstanding. You're a savage Jimmy. Keep it up & do what you do.

@peden34 6 лет назад

Ladies and gentleman, Jimmy Diresta!

@WorksbySolo 6 лет назад

So sweet! The welds and forged steel add some nice texture and character. A good contrast to the super clean surfaces. Cool build!

@jomorris1022 6 лет назад

Again!! NICE work brother!! I'm working on a stand for my large vice that I inherited from my dad. First time welding also, and I will keep this vice and stand also to remind me of my first project that I welded.

@worshipmelody1 6 лет назад

That one turned out a bit less twisted than expected 🤣. I see Jackman a bit anvy about making this for Carolina 😄

@riselikethephoenix1 6 лет назад

Holy shit! It only took this guy 11 minutes to make a toolbox from scratch!? Damn

@louis11121 6 лет назад

Toujours un régal de voir la fabrication de tes oeuvres... I love it ❤️❤️❤️

@buildmotion1426 6 лет назад

Nicely done! I’m still learning aluminum tig, and I like to use the pulse feature. I can get away with no filler rod on first pass. It helps if your unit has that option.

@sweenep86 6 лет назад

You could use the pulse setting to go over and tidy up the welds, not “the way” to do it, but can improve it aesthetically.

@wilsonocasio8884 6 лет назад

To all the people hating on the welding...., make your own box and let us be the judge.... 😂 Lol! The box gave me an idea and the handles are super awesome!

@TylerSnyder305 6 лет назад

Great work. You gotta love a classic hip roof box.

@4speed3pedals 6 лет назад

Holding the material against the edge guide on the right (as long as it is square to the cutting blade) is a good aid for making a square cut vs watching a guide line. You are also fortunate that the material did not crack where bent using no radius on the bend. That is dependent on the alloy, thickness and proper edge preparation. Granted, this is not an airplane repair. Nice project.
