Jimmy, you're one of those rare and very fortunate people who get to know what they were born to do, and to get to act on it, from a very young age. You must be a very fulfilled person, and that's as good as it gets man.

@izzyswan 10 лет назад

Stunning Jimmy, I really enjoy your amazing talents. Thank you.

@sfh2050 9 лет назад

Truly multi talented guy. Great work.

@paradisefalls37 10 лет назад

Diversified DiResta , fantastic workmanship! Thank you for sharing as always!

@animusfoxx6965 9 лет назад

this is a real piece of art

@pbjhuntr12 9 лет назад

I have to say Mr. Diresta, watching your videos on your own channel, and on make, makes me feel like I can build whatever I want, and that feeling of freedom is amazing. I thank you.

@Rutce125 10 лет назад

Dude, is there anything you can't build? I've been binge watching your videos all week and they are truly inspiring! I don't have the metal fabrication equipment you do, but you've definitely given me ideas for the wood shop.

@smoothntallGWM 9 лет назад

John Gragg This is a nice magnifying glass handle, but I have a question about the wooden "box horn" thing on his workbench, in this video it can be seen at the very end (for like 20 to 30 seconds). What is that curved wooden box ? It looks very interesting.

@SkogKniv 10 лет назад

Jimmy...The best thing on the youtube MAKE channel. Awesome use of materials and creativity. A pleasure as always Jimmy. I need to get in the shop now.

@jonathan__g 10 лет назад

I would have to agree. I only subscribed for him and watch what he makes.

@jimmydiresta 10 лет назад

Thank you for the on going support !!

@SkogKniv 10 лет назад

Well deserved Jimmy. You been a huge inspiration for me Making. Happy I can support you!

@hurhurhur123 9 лет назад

I love seeing it go from being a solid piece to something so smoothly crafted.

@MichaelAlm 10 лет назад

Jimmy, this is the most incredible thing I've seen you make! And that's saying a lot. You know your way around a lathe my friend...

@TheFurriestOne 9 лет назад

'The Thinker' oversees all his lathe-work. Cool build! All them shiny chips...

@Jeffrich308 9 лет назад

Your talents never cease to amaze me! You make things look so easy.... Beautiful work!

@luckys1evin 10 лет назад

Your skillfulness never ceases to amaze me.

@allen2905 6 лет назад

This Diresta guy has such ingenuity that I'm beginning to realize he can make anything if he sets his mind to a project! I've been watching his vids these past 2 weeks while getting my strength back. Very envious of his boy/girl who's going to inherit all his tools plus absorb so much talent over the years while growing up. Haven't seen any children yet but hope he has some to carry on his legacy. WOW!!

@DanieleGiorgino 10 лет назад

You started with the barest of raw materials, and made something that looks like an antique. You're a brilliant craftsman.

@abdelhadione1680 8 лет назад

This person is an artist in all his works, explicitly artist and I liked

@halsoy 10 лет назад

Seeing this makes me think of my late grandfather. He worked with wood mostly, but the techniques and tools are largely the same. Such craftsmanship seem to be rarer these days. I still remember the days spent in his shop, both with him and my uncles as his company grew to something the family could do well of off. Nice work there Jimmy, makes me wish I could do the same :)

@MissCandyTattoo 7 лет назад

Those clamps, so cute!!

@contactrkb 10 лет назад

Yet again I sit back shaking my head in amazement.

@chaseofearth9280 8 лет назад

channels like yours are the coolest. it's awesome watching you do your thing man!

@Mrzoo2021 9 лет назад

You make the coolest stuff. Real craftsmanship. Quality work. Things just aren't made with quality now days.

@crashhanna 8 лет назад

Nicely done. Where I come from that is a magnifying glass. A looking glass is a mirror.

@jpage5350 8 лет назад

Gotta say, I got a bit confused there too. I guess I read Lewis Carroll too much as a kid...?

@TheCrazyBreton 10 лет назад

What really blows my mind is the speed at which you work, sawing through those nails like a machine. I'm glad you slow down the footage at parts so we can get a better look, I don't know anyone who could do this in 8 minutes, you're a machine!

@HAYAHIYAHAYAHO 10 лет назад

Anytime u make something that I think I wouldn't care to make( which is rare)... I find that I'm blown away still at the techniques and tools that u use... And how they can be used to make many other things... So glad you're sharing this with us... Thanks

@jonrichelsen4926 10 лет назад

Always great to see such beautiful craftsmanship in motion. The macro shot of you filing the bracket was absolutely stunning!

@marklambert4457 8 лет назад

How do Jimmy's vids get dislikes, the man is a true genius in everything he makes. I've just re watch the trash to cash and all the old stuff he did with John, fantastic.

@ilnonnogigi 8 лет назад

You are a wizard!!! I can't stop to watch your work

@art1muz13 10 лет назад

2 days and 7,000 people already saw this. What a bummer! Well I get to see it now, after I comment and "thumbs -up" 1st, ALWAYS and 2nd, kik-bak & watch. NOW I RELAX AND WATCH.............! thank you MR.D.

@joshuamckown3145 10 лет назад

Just beautiful, Jimmy. I bet that handle has a nice heft to it. I've really been enjoying watching you work. Thanks for sharing your projects with us.

@MarcMendiondo 10 лет назад

It's somewhat therapeutic to watch this mans videos

@TheJkilla11 10 лет назад

how could anyone dislike this? this is frickin awesome you rock.

@argkourpas1 10 лет назад

Hey Jimmy... In the last couple of weeks the only thing i do when i m seating on my computer is to look for a new uploaded video of yours. I have seen again and again all your videos and i have to tell you from very deep inside you are the most inspire person i know. Keep doing this... and be safe...

@jimmydiresta 10 лет назад

@briansmobile1 10 лет назад

Way nice Jimmy!

@rynagon_ 5 лет назад

That handle is spectacular! Awesome job dude!

@kenbarker6478 9 лет назад

Jimmy, I love the coordination between your right and left hands to create the shape on the handle. You must be a mean mutha on an etch-a-sketch. LOL. Beautiful job! Take Care Ken :-)

@jeepmanxj 9 лет назад

+ken barker Run a manual lathe for a living for a few months. You'll be doing just like him.

@chemistryguy100 8 лет назад

+ken barker My thoughts exactly! Moving that lathe manually like that is HARD!!

@ArthurKanzler 10 лет назад

Fantastic! I'm always in awe of your creativity and mastery of the many mediums in which you express it.

@markevens 9 лет назад

Beautiful! I love the hand work on the lathe.

@DaveJacoby 10 лет назад

DiResta makes it look _so_ easy. If only I had access to his shop....

@ItSeemsDark 10 лет назад

believe me ... isn't the shop ....

@DaveJacoby 10 лет назад

Oh, I'm sure. But with a shop, I could start to learn

@drstampfli 10 лет назад

ItSeemsDark You are so right. Put Jimmy on an island with a rock and some driftwood, and he would be making something awesome. It is definitely not the shop. I have most of the same tools, but you are watching DiResta - not watching me!

@6shooter498 9 лет назад

I really enjoy watching you thinking about how to problem solve your way through a project!....Just remember for everyone who says t1hey can buy a similar item for less cost at a dollar store , mass produced items are desighned to be replace, you on the otherhand are creating a family hierloom, to be used and appreciated by your great grand kids, it reminds me of my grandfathers tool box...I was never allowe into it and after he died I had moved out of state so my cousins got all his stuff I know he had several hammers, an old hand powered drll, saws, chisels and a bottle of homemade wlne! Thanks for the talent display!!!!

@rohojamagic 9 лет назад

Is there nothing this man can't do? Wow!

@nicolek4076 8 лет назад

Another example of what divides US and British English. A looking glass for us is an old-fashioned name for a mirror. What he's making here is called a magnifying glass.

@projotce 8 лет назад

I'm not sure about that. I'm an American and I thought he was going to make a mirror too

@keepcalmsaltandburn 7 лет назад

yeah, it's called a magnifying glass here in America too.

@petersontaylor2000 10 лет назад

Maaaan! He makes it looks like it's an easy task! You, sir, are an artist. :)

@JamesGMunn 10 лет назад

It is also very educational to share how to overcome mistakes, if you ever make one. People tend to think that professionals don't make mistakes but they do and they also have ways of recovering. People generally edit out those important learning parts to give a clean video but we lose the teaching moment that way.

@andersonchristoph26 10 лет назад

That was totally Awesome!!!! Dude, It looks Great!
