Showed this to my mum who is a retired seamstress - she thinks you’re a “very creative genius” I’m inclined to agree. Superb video filled with very clever problem solving. Thank you for sharing as always
Very useful build. I like it. I will say the constant ringing throughout the video reminded me of my tinnitus. I had to pause the video to make sure it wasn’t me.
This one was a fun watch for me. My dad was a upholsterer for Sealink/British Rail back in the 70's and he made me a duffle bag to use for school, and watching you use some of the same methods (and the same size scissors lol) took me right back to a being a 6yr old watching with his dad with awe Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Kids i work with ask me: is there anything you can't or dont know how to do, well, i ask DIRESTA the same. Just a pleasure to see everything you do. A real pleasure.
They look good, really cool use for leftover materials. Maybe an icepick pocket for version 2? This video makes me want to learn how to use the industrial sewing machine I picked up for free last year.
Great project. i learned to splice in my pipefitter apprenticeship rigging class, back in the 80's. it's a great way to finish and it will wow some folks too
Lovely idea reminding me of leather buckets of yester-year, but these are so flexible with applications from women's handbags through fasteners to almost anything. Thanks for sharing!
I always find it very interesting to watch Jimmy's work flow on these small production runs. A lot to be learned here from a gent who has mastered the art of the small production run.
This was like drinking from the fire hose! A ton of awesome information. But... I missed the last step of branding the bags with the iconic DIRESTA logo! Thanks for the education! 🙏
I've been debating getting an icepick. I know how versatile it is but my mindset was only considering shop uses. Seeing you use it in sewing just made me broaden my mindset and I'm definitely getting an icepick! Thanks!
From what I've seen here, Pfaff is still numero uno. Viewing this,I wish I had not sold my nearly new 463. Boy, that Cordura is sure tough on needles and shears.
A plywood bottom to those bags would make them more stable. As it is, the cloth bottom bulges under the weight of the hardware making an uneven surface to rest on. Otherwise, dang good idea and well executed.
Agreed. Also, I think some kind of crimped connector on the rope connection would be nice not only for durability but also to fit the Diresta “made to last” aesthetic
Hauling fasteners seems like a great durability test of Cordura. And those bags are looking tough!👍 P.S. Your "trash" rope splicing is still miles better than many of our best attempts. 😅
Hola Jimmy! Creo que ya te lo comenté, pero realmente eres bueno en todas las tareas que encaras. Felicitaciones! Abrazo!! Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay.
Finally maybe I have a tip for you: when you are beginning or ending a stitch, you should reverse the beginning and ending so that it has extra stitches. They will be less likely to ravel or come undone in the future.
Been wanting to make something like this. Basically replicating the Klein canvas bags. I need one that's medium size for trash. I do a lot of Cat6 cable work and this type of bag would be great for a trash bag for the cut offs. Usually I'm dropping the cut offs in my tool pouch and dumping it at the end of the job or when it's full of trash. 😂 Veto Pro Pac MP2 is not a trash bag.
You're gonna tell me 3/4 of the entirety of Brooklyn wouldn't want one of these, filled with farmer's market apples, slung over their shoulder this summer?! 😉 They look great!!
as always a joy to watch your videos :D you are an inspiration to watch :D especially love the great tricks you teach, Like using the icepick with a sewing-machine!
