In this video I make a set of wood stools for my kitchen. If you follow me you know I make stools often, and I am in search of the perfect stool design!!! These wood stools with a steel foot rest and a leather top, was an exercise in using the new 12’ long papermakers lathe I recently purchased. I decided to make the foot rest in steel because it seems like first to break in any other stool design. I had to weld in place because it would have been impossible to assemble as one part.
I had to use the machine shop to fabricate a steel die to match the tapper on the leg where the foot rest collar will live.
And thank you to Weaver for sponsoring this video. The leather top was the inspiration for this design and this video.

Old school plus new school. Ancient tools given new life, and new tools given old wisdom and creativity to really shine! You, Jimmy are an inspiration! I love the mix of skills, tools, and materials you use, and you never do the same thing twice! Always pushing your limits, always testing the limits and capabilities of your tools. You're the Alton Brown of making! Creative, scientific and artistic in equal quantities and mixing new and old techniques together to make something new and amazing! I'm gonna go make something!

As a viewer I appreciate the time and attention spent on the repetitive work. It was done tastefully. I can really appreciate the time and patience required to make those legs. Respect.

Good old school. Thanks for the wonderful video. You saved the spirit of the past in these old machines. Proof that a good machine lasts forever. All your videos are great, but these "old-school" ones are a real refresh. Good job👍👍👍

A lot of times I watch your videos because it’s neat to see what you come up with, but I wouldn’t want the project myself. I appreciate the craftsmanship, but the aesthetic is not one that calls to me. This one is absolutely gorgeous! I’d love to replace my beat up stools with this. Nice job, Jimmy!

I love videos where you go from a 75 year old beautiful cast iron machine to a laser back to a 50 year old sander to a new welder. It’s about using whatever tool does the job and makes for a ridiculously unique video. Beautiful work Jimmy.

@conradealie9304 4 года назад

This was classic Jimmy DiResta.....fresh cut wood from a lumber yard, bandsaw, mitre saw, drill press, a little welding, a little leather work, lathe work. And then makes it appear all to easy. Nice work and video Jimmy.

@MabutiKazoku 4 года назад

You weren't kidding on the podcasts, that lathe is a beast. Normally don't comment but have to say that the shape on the seats with the chamfer from the bottom really adds a cool look. Little different from the normal flat all the way to the edge. Thanks for all your content!

From a fallen walnut tree to a work of art. “In a world where news of inhumanity bombards our sensibilities, where grasping for things goes so far beyond our needs, where time is squandered in busyness, it is a pleasure and a privilege to pause for a look at handiwork, to see beauty amidst utility, and to know that craft traditions begun so long ago serve us today.” ― John Wilson

This project really highlights, other than great videography, Mr. Diresta’s unique talent. There are millions of skilled makers. But man! His design ability is so great. I mean every damn wooden stool gets loose at some point. These mechanically can’t dawg! So inspiring. Imna go make something.

@hoosierkent1640 4 года назад

it'd be nice for Jimmy to just have a special Page/Link or even a Video for his many Maker Fans, Jimmy-inspired, Project Pics. What do you think Jimmy? Fans can post just the photos of their home projects; you could be like our Giant Cyber Space Refrigerator Door (remember when Mom would post your artwork on the Fridge?). Mike I have also been inspired to get off of my buttox by seeing Jimmy's ambition & creativity -it's contagious. My favorite Jimmy Video is his Next one.
