DiResta Pocket Note Books 

My 2.5 year old daughter loves watching you work! Spends the whole time asking “what is he doing?” At the end of the video she claps and says “yay he made it!” Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!

These are absolutely gorgeous! As someone who is a printer and bookbinder by trade, I have thoroughly enjoyed this video and I am not ashamed to admit I am a bit envious of some of the tools you have. I do all of my sewing manually on a sewing frame. :) Stay awesome! Much respect from Slovenia.

I love watching your old “mechanical” tools!

Hey, classy little note books! Reminds me of my grandfather who taught me that old saying: "A short pencil is better than a long memory."

I’m new to the channel but better late than never, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!!! Keep up the great work man

always a pleasure to see your managerie of misfit machines in action.

That sewing machine is a monster! Very cool project. Small scale stuff like this is what I like working on with the kiddos. Cool video!

A Kingsley Machine! I used to have one for marking wire. Type was curved, different sizes for different gauges. Had blocks to hold the wire in place. Similar if not same machine. Cloth covered two conductor wiring (no ground wire). Gave it to a friend that had a use for it after it sat unused for several years. Great channel!!

I swear your shop must every tool ever made. Blows me away....

Who could forget? Thanks Jimmy! 🌲🌲🌲

Goddamn! I love the gold foil stamps. That's next level.

I am never annoyed of watching your videos . A very neat work .💪💪💪

When I started watching I thought I envied your wood working tools collection. Now thats its been five years, I find myself much more about your leather and paper working set up. Simply incredible your collection there Jimmy. Respect. 👊

Love seeing all of those old machines at work!

Dear Jimmy, seeing you at work while making any object is a real pleasure. Number one

Your collection of equipment is very awesome especially to make the details.

I'm going to say it! I'm am jealous as hell! You do everything from ice picks to making books. Many moons ago you began in a small underground shop with hardly any room to move. Look at you now! You have it all! The world is yours Tony!

I love it! I have a Kingsley leather stamping machine identical to yours. I rescued it from the scrap yard 5 yrs ago. I finally have got it rebuilt an running again. I now have a whole new world of ideas to put it to good use. Nice notepads too Jimmy.

Love it! These notebook videos are so relaxing.

Stoked you found such a great excuse to show off all your gorgeous machinery!!!!

friggin love this, it was you who first struck my interest in binding, a true inspiration Mr Diresta

The lowly pocket note book elevated to industrial designer status before our very eye's !!!

Just before the cat walked across the table, there was a squeaking noise--since the video was sped up, I think it was the cat (George?) meowing. Sounded like a mouse squeaking ;-)

This guy owns the universe and can create anything.

I love watching Jimmy do production stuff. There are so many little tricks I've learned from him.

Hey when I saw this small anvil i immediately remembered this video when you repaired it. And that's quite some time ago. Still love you videos😀

I love how you let them stack up at the sewing machine! looks like a big time saver!

Whoopwhoop bookmarking this gem. Thanks Jimmy!

Jimmy look very nice. Jimmy love all the old tools you use. Very awesome to see them in uses again. Very nice design there my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Keep Making. God Bless.

Jimmy has all the coolest tools and equipment. I can’t believe they make a machine to radius the corners of notebooks... amazing 🤩 I want one

I’m at work right now and don’t have time to watch just opened to thank Jimmy for posting and breaking up the monotony of my week haha

Lovely, just so efficient, compact and so obviously useful and all made with 19th century technology, although then the sewing would likely be treadle powered. Sometimes the traditional tools, methods and products are better than any modern variant. Thank you for sharing!

Congrats for you work, I'm Brazilian and I'm watch all your video

It’s all in the process ! Beautiful to watch you make these with all the old machines ! Thank you great video !!

At 10:00 I wondered what lotion Jimmy used to get his hands in that good a shape from before.

WoW!!! Another Real, Craftsman made, Must-Have! 🔨👍😁👍🔧

What a great collection of machines!!

The old tools have an elegance about them, these books look great

Great to see all the different machines in use, shows how many processes are involved! Love the do-dad that rounds off the corners! Unrelated to this video but thanks to you, Bob and David I’m pushing the button to get my first ever welder today - never done it before but can’t wait to get started! Thanks for the inspiration! Stay safe 🤜

You're so cool Jimmy. My wife is tired of hearing about you...

You, Your shop and your tools are amazing! Great work dude

Love that brass triangle!

Setting up the type reminded me of 9 th grade print shop and setting pica . We had kids who were "rats" in the class , so we would wait for them to put the last letter in the print set up then we would " accidently " bump into the tray spilling type all over the floor. They would quickly change their ways . Nobody likes a RAT , Snitches get stitches. Anyway great little book there , Pocket sized and available when that GREAT idea hits you. Stay well Taylor , Willie and you my brother

I love seeing those old machines put to use. So cool. Thanks for the inspiration, Jimmy!

I so very much enjoyed watching this. Thank you.

you truly have a LOT of different types of tools. your shop/home must be enormous! BRAVO!

Good lord man you have at least one of every tool ever made i do believe. I'm so envious. These little note books are really freakin cool. I love leather

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Jimmy!

Love all the old school presses, shears, lettering tools. Great video 👍

Man, you have the most incredible toys. You also make me regret my life choices that didn't take me down your path.

A Taylor cameo is always a welcome sight! Super fun, functional project.

It's as if all those machines were made just for you Jimmy.

Man. You have the best toys. If you ever need any help around the shop, hit me up. I'm in Upstate New York and would be thrilled to be an elf in your workshop. Thanks for all that you do!

Wonderful project, Master! Thanks, as always, for sharing. SL

Beautiful peace of art!

I love the idea of a bunch of notebooks on a string like sausages in a deli

Nice work ! Now that I hit 70 , Seems that need to write more notes to me , I just need to remember where I put that thing I wrote all those notes in. Happy Spring

That cutter is beautiful.

Beautifully simple Jimmy! 👊

Jim..., Nice job per usual... but sometimes it is BETTER to forget! Next production run might read "Move On" :) ;)

Thats how I like my leather. Made by JD. Yeah ok, that sounds a bit weird.

I thought I was productive this week...and then I watched this. Outstanding Jimmy!

Talk about synchronicity, i was just about to start making a bound notebook for my mother. :))

Such an enjoyable process to watch. An that font on the fronts! Damn.

Neat take on the pocket notebook!

Well, that settles it, time to get into leather crafting. Also that stamping machine is adorable.

I really love that you're getting into leatherwork more. Excellent stuff.

I never thought book making was so cool

Those are awesome, Jimmy! Thanks for showing us the back side of the paper cutter. I was curious if there was a "stop block" back there....and boom, there it was! Thanks for sharing, Brother! I totally want one by the way.🙂

I enjoy seeing your ice picks pop up in other youtubers channels you guys are great keep up the good work -- looking forward to some more leatherman mods you are even a legend in the leatherman mod group on Facebook I’m in .

Felicitaciones! Sinceramente aprecio mucho el dominio que tienes de las distintas técnicas de trabajo y la capacidad para manejar cualquier tipo de materiales. Por lejos, un Maestro Artesano. Abrazo. Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Très bonnes idées et très beau travail. Bravo. From a french fan.

Love your content dude! Absolute binge watching material

Always interesting. Thumbs up and thanks for posting.

I have a pen that has a stylus point (Molin sigma stylus) and it is the best pen I ever had. I use it in the shop with my phone whenever I need a calculator or to look at plans and etc. You should include a stylus point to your ice pick (if you haven't already).

Now I have some serious tool envy! :) That sewing machine...

Such fantastic work!! As always. That gold leaf paper with the stamps is too cool!!!

Bloody cool tools, Great job as always.

Dude that is exactly the thing I am looking for to keep in my competition quiver to write down all my sight settings for my competition compound bow. Wow.

Looking at 6:28 it looks like the tension might be off? where the threads crossover is usually inside the hole, but there it looks like the bobbin might be looser than the tension on the needle side?

Seeing the stacks of paper and leather at 4:10 makes me think that would make a cool Micarta (although the leather might not be an ideal material for that type of thing.)

That weaver sewing machine is crazy. Also I really like that stamper at the end. Notebooks are nice

Wonder how many trolls are gonna complain about the paper and leather trimmings being a waste. lol good stuff Jimmy. Thank you.

The mechanical clicky trimmer noises in fast forward are so satisfying

Really enjoyed this one Jimmy you make it look so simple THANK YOU brother

I would love it even more with more paper in it

Nice little Vulcan anvil use!

Simple yet beautiful! Well done you two!

Another great note book vid!

Thanks for another great video Jimmy. Love from Sweden. Robin

Those are wonderful :) I love the rounded corner cutting tool too.

No description at all, I like that.

I want one that says "Forget It" for the ideas I know I will never have time to start or finish.

Beautiful, Jimmy! They look amazing! 😃 Really well done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Love the book title ❤️

Very nice ! Diresta TM Limited Edition 👍

I would love to get one of those Mr. Diresta

Просто и элегантно! Simple and elegant!

Beautiful as always!!💕

Absolutely outstanding. Thank you very much Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.
