In this video watch as I make a steel stool for an event held by TONKA TOYS that was hosted by Shaquille O'neal. Shaq is over 7' tall, so the stool needed to be over sized! Shaq’s stool came out to be 41" in height; a stool much larger than what an average person would ever need. In this workshop project, I used a few new fabrication techniques that I just learned, which made this steel stool build for TONKA and Shaquille O’Neal come out great - enjoy!

A stool for a giant. Literally and figuratively. Gorgeous, well done, as usual.

@ianstradian 4 года назад

Shaq is a huge human being. The scale of his furniture is amazing. West Coast Customs took a 4 door Jeep and turned it into a two door Jeep so Shaq could fit in it.

@MarkGoodwin09 4 года назад

Never occurred to me that Shaq's stools are so big

It takes a lot of fiber and 3 large meals a day!

You can just look at the guy and know that his stools are large. I wonder how many toilets he clogs on the regular. Lol

Tom Ahoks that joke flew right over your head.

You are the Leonardo Diresta of modern inventors.

I'd just like to tell you that it wasn't until today that I realized you were in mine and my wife's favorite tv show of all time "Dirty Money." I have been subscribed to you for so many years. It just never occurred to me that you were my biggest influence for woodworking. Thank you

@TheGrantAlexander 4 года назад

That shot of welding with the Tonka logo in the shadows was epic! Great job as always 👍

@JDeWittDIY 4 года назад

Should have charged extra for that. $X to build the stool, $X + 1 to build the stool and make a video about it.

@dangdiggity9916 4 года назад

made me think he could put some small lights under the seat shooting downwards, always casting a shadow of it :p hard to get power to a stol tho without having a wire constantly going off one of its legs.

@Treesusb 4 года назад

RU-vid has led you to making things for some of the most famous people on the planet. Who would’ve thunk it

@corncobjohnsonreal 4 года назад

What's weirder is that diresta isn's that wild with his designs, his style is mostly utilitarian. This is the first video of his I've seen so maybe I'm wrong *Isn's

@TheTechnosasquatch 4 года назад

@@corncobjohnsonreal More or less. When Jimmy is doing a customer job like this it always has a weird feel to it. Like in this case he was working towards a design the marketing team at Tonka thought up with little room for his own flare. And as time has gone on his builds and videos have become more practical, but if you go back to the basement shop in NYC he did some more artistic pieces for his own amusement and benefit.

@SteveDave 4 года назад

folding steel was my favourite thing to do in metal work at school

@IQLion Год назад

Didn't realize Jimmy did metalworking. Most of the stuff I've seen he was primarily doing woodworking. Now here is a video of Woodworking, metalworking and even some vinyl decals. All that we are missing is leather and fabric crafts. Perhaps some upholstery?

@ericstoever9577 4 года назад

Learn new techniques, use new techniques, share them, rinse, repeat. It’s why I watch your videos. It reminds me of what I need to be doing every day. Thanks for the inspiration! Be well and take good care.

The main reason I love watching Jimmy. Always using tools I have never seen! Lol I didn’t know there was a tool for spot welding. You learn something new every day! Anybody else?

@sjbl1962 4 года назад

Even with that big ole plasma cutting table you'll never be real maker until you can play the trumpet and speak Italian... Glad Lincoln got the table up and running again. Super build!

That looks heavy!! If that doesn't hold Shaq nothing will.

@abrenning2499 4 года назад

Some really serious tools and a great talent👍🏻

@tmoore471 4 года назад

If you put masking tape on the concave hammer adapter, and use a tungsten bucking bar on the other side, it's easier to keep the circular shape from happening on the head of the rivet, called a "smile", taught to me from a bunch of aviation sheet metal workers

@allenwilson9656 4 года назад

That is such a clever idea and a schaweet design . I'm sure he is proud of it . On a side note that could be a work table for you 🤣 !

You don't really get an appreciation for the size of that stoll until Jimmy climbs up on it. Man, Shaq-Diesel is a BIG dude!! Good work Jimmy.

@TheArtofCraftsmanship 4 года назад

I love when you hopped up on the stool at the end like a little kid. Hilarious.

@slackjaw703 4 года назад

Just another amazing build! I was sorta surprised you didn’t clear coat over the entire stool once the decals were in place, to cover/seal them down. Shaq is gonna love it. And the great thing is he doesn’t have to worry about some sitting on his stool. Lol.

@StevenHearndon 4 года назад

So many little details that made this build so slick. Very nice.

@cvasold 4 года назад

That was a tour-de-force of Diresta techniques! Made the simple stool stand tall and proud!

@canaan5337 4 года назад

It's like a small table for your regular sized stool to sit at

@TheRicamf 4 года назад

I reckon it's very instructive to me to watch diresta taking more practicals decisions on this build.

@ducksfan3525 3 года назад

That’s amazing! The only thing that would have put it over the top would have been showing Shaq opening it.

@jeremydoblinger3609 4 года назад

I've gotta say Diresta is a master fabricator!! I've never seen someone who could work with such a broad range of materials.. I should say hes an artist!! Always inspires me to see what and how he's doing things!!

@henkrijckaert 4 года назад

I love the "Tonka" shadows when you are welding. Nice edit.

@thisisdk7859 4 года назад

Seeing that this was made for Shaq made me think back to the AKguitar video. A build for Wyclef I believe... that was my 1st video to watch for Jimmy. Actually, it was my intro to the the Diresta brand AND the world of Artisans! Such an immersive world.
