I want to imagine a beaver coming back to that tree and just freaking the fuck out. Like, " HOW THE-, WHAT THE-. BLASPHEMY! MAGIC! HELL SPAWN TREE!"

This made me smile, DiResta on a rope swing :D

@DONphantasmo 8 лет назад

This has to be the funniest Diresta Video I've ever seen. Seeing him on a swing swinging like a little girl, made my day. Nice ropework, by the way. It's a dying art.

@Dr_Monitor 8 лет назад

Plus, with his signature curmudgeony look on his face, made it pretty priceless.

@DONphantasmo 8 лет назад

lol, yep

@peggyt1243 9 лет назад

I did not think a city guy like you would know how to splice a rope. Thought it was a lost skill except for sailors. Love your creativity and thank you for sharing.

@jimmydiresta 9 лет назад

Thank you, there is lots you don't know about this city boy! more to come. Thank you for your support and kind words in many comments!!

@security1guy 9 лет назад

"look mommy, No hands" lol Great work Jimmy!!

@jamesjackson2478 9 лет назад

Some one has their knot tying merit badge. You do great work.

@InformationIsTheEdge 9 лет назад

This video scores on so many levels for me. First, I like the idea of using materials that would otherwise would have been wasted. Second, I quite like the creative ways Jimmy uses his tools. (Not that anything here was particularly out of the ordinary.) On his own channel he repeatedly advises viewers to, "Never do anything with your tools that you see me do with mine." Third, the quick splice of the cordage by braiding the end back into the line, that was excellent! I saw my pop do that at a hardware store with the end of a length of steel cable and I remember thinking it was genius! Great video and a great trip down memory lane! Total thumbs up! Thanks Jimmy!

@jimmydiresta 9 лет назад

Thank you so much for the love and respect ! happy holidays !

@InformationIsTheEdge 9 лет назад

jimmydiresta All the best to you and yours as well! May your Holiday season be full of everything you want and everyone with whom you wish to share it!

@art1muz13 9 лет назад

I'm glad I searched , found more ideas from Diresta!

@MatthewBlackwell1015 9 лет назад

The sisal splicing is what really makes this piece. Awesome job on that. Most people I see try it can't keep the symmetry in the rope. Stronger than using metal because as it gets wet and stretched, the connection gets stronger while metal would be mostly the same pressure and not able to keep up with the changes in the rope over time. Also it looks much cleaner.

@jimsanker989 8 лет назад

love that braid work

@nexus01gr 9 лет назад

Anyone notice that, with this project Jimmy made a swing for the tree *and* a bench for the pond? Good job, brother J!

@guitarbrad 9 лет назад

One more great video!

@derrickpedolzky1149 9 лет назад

you're the man jimmy. I bet the farmhouse in the fall is the best!

@Mongrel85 9 лет назад

Props on using the brace and bit, suits the beaver log and rope perfectly... Big fan from down under, love the podcast too as the respect you all have for each other pours out of the speakers...

@jimmydiresta 9 лет назад

Thank you !!! thank you for watching and listening !!

@Geeksmithing 9 лет назад

Awesomeness!

@kronikRDC2 9 лет назад

You work with rope also? OK seriously....you aren't even a craftsman anymore. Your a full fledged wizard.

@abbassihm 8 лет назад

Coolest dude hands down.

@abbiel180595 8 лет назад

I like so much the way you made it. I hope to be able to make one for my 7 years old daughter. Thank for showing the idea.

@PatEm10 9 лет назад

I hung one of those disk type swings in a tree in our backyard for my son this summer. The limb is about 30 ft off the ground so there is a HUGE amount of travel for the swing. If I really put effort into it I can push him higher than the roof of the house! Off topic I guess, but I love tree swings! Nice work.

@osotrop 9 лет назад

@drivewayshop 9 лет назад

Right on, Jimmy. Back splices, half hitches...Someone knows his knots. ;) Looks like fun. I've got my grandfather's brace and bit. You cant beat old-school sometimes.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Damn beavers!

@syedrizwanali19 9 лет назад

Great fun video

@GaryTruesdale 9 лет назад

A lot of projects are going to come out of that tree!

@802Leith 9 лет назад

One of the first projects I made as a boyat about 4 years old with my grandfather teaching me how to weave hemp rope for our rope swing. Ball game on the radio making a monkey knot at the base to grabrb so he and my father could whip us high into the air over the hill. Thanks for bringing up a great memory we had a single rope and a disk though not a log to laconic for an ADD kid.

@Stephen1455 8 лет назад

Ohh man, after all that work you had to rewrap the rope! You are the man!!! Love it! Do you have kids?

@abady4ever283 7 лет назад

@rob_boss 8 лет назад

did you go back and get your hatchet?

@RealDealHolyfield2099 9 лет назад

I didn't know to splice ropes that way. For me the rope portion was key. Thanks for the tip!

@DickCheese182 8 лет назад

Man, I wish I knew someone with a workshop.

@lolatmyage 8 лет назад

+BananaMasterRace Become the one with the workshop, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

@lolatmyage 8 лет назад

***** All you need is space, the tools are cheap as hell and mostly one time purchases

@lolatmyage 8 лет назад

***** For 100 euros you can get all the hand tools you need, after that save up for power tools like a drill and jigsaw. Then get a drill press and circular saw

@DickCheese182 8 лет назад

lolatmyage the space is a real problem for me though

@lolatmyage 8 лет назад

BananaMasterRace Same here, Im lucky to have a basement larger than 1.2 by 2 meters (basically a bathroom stall) while living in an apartment building so I can at least do some things.

@saffronbelkessa-wood7148 6 лет назад

@airwolf28 9 лет назад

7:30 Barorecptor stimulation. Signals from the carotid baroreceptors are sent via the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX). Signals from the aortic baroreceptors travel through the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X)

@irfanyang7343 6 лет назад

Imagine the look on the beaver's face when it came back home and found a giant block missing from its log

@nuzah7912 9 лет назад

The chain saw in fast speed is hilarious sounding

@IterasViridis 9 лет назад

Genial

@DanteYewToob 9 лет назад

That appears to be One. Hot. Tub. Lol Cool swing, I love how he uses a chainsaw and hand crank drill... That's Jimmy DiResta for ya, does whatever the hell he wants.

@welbervaz2 9 лет назад

Muito bom!!!!

@WarnersWorkshop 8 лет назад

I would've expected Jimmy to be a Stihl guy.

@davidloyal9448 8 лет назад

if you use crazy glue on the ends of the rope, it makes it a lot easier to splice! almost makes a crazy glue needle. The ends get trimmed anyway. then white glue (or maybe wood glue) rubbed over the splice will keep it all nicey nicey.
