Jimmy, you really do not need a disclaimer or even feel the need for an apology for taking on a client like this! Your fans watch for the work you do. We love to see the tricks and techniques you come up with to do what many of us would consider impossible tasks. I don't care who is paying you, so long as they do not think that in doing so, they can dictate how you do it or what you can show.
It doesn't have to go anywhere, although I can imagine your disappointment. Still, the design and techniques are very clever and you may not have done this had they not commissioned it, so there is a benefit to your fan base, at least those of us that watch for inspiration.
***** just about most tools can do the job , it more about your own skill level, and has little to do with the quality of a given tool. i have seen boat builders in central america make beautiful boats and canoes with very poor quality tools and with out electric .. and one bad sharpening stone.. if you want my honest opinion about DeWalt, the tools are ok. full disclosure i purchase all but 2 of the tools in this video before they ever contacted me, i have all brands and they are just about the same... even the coveted fest tool... it is just about all the same.. i use fest tool craftsman delta port cable Skill ridged jet..... all the same in my opinion.. I have no endorsement deal with any one but 3M.
***** as i said in the description , i was paid by dewalt for this video as a commercial. noting to hide. i have no relationship with dewalt at this point. in fact don't ever buy these tool. you'd like festool if it is "quality" your after all the wood workers use fest tool.... check the wood whisper. he will review festool
I'm 67 years old and I learn more every time I watch you make something ! And I've been doing this type of work for over 50 years ! You are amazing !!!
you are one of the people that are inspiring me to grow up good and buy tools with my money instead of useless videogames or something if that nature you make me want to spend time out in my garage building stuff and things instead of sitting here man you are an inspiration and thank you for taking your time out of your day to make these vids
the only video i've seen so far where you actually show power tool branding, i remember i clip where you stated that you would rather brand yourself and you don't show any branding whatsoever and i fully agree! great video man!
Great chest Jimmy. I'm so glad new people are getting to see your talents for the first time. Many of us have had the pleasure to follow you for years. You still the man.
After watching the awesomeness that is Jimmy for a couple years, it is hard for me to imagine anything he does is at normal speed. That box turned out awesome! the simple little additions of the edging and the rectangles really changed the look of it. Blown away once again.
I love your work, what a talent! Wish I was taught how to do such work, but I am a 62 yr old grandma who only quilts! But good Lord blesses us all with different talents. Id love to see a box like that made in a quilt pattern called Log Cabin! How fun!
11/27/23 In Late November 2013 I was I was 27 years old and my kids were 11 months old. While searching for Dewalt tools this video popped up. It forever changed my perception of what was possible. I can remember thinking about how I wanted to binge more of his videos but he had only a handful at that time.. This is the video that changed my life. Thank you Jimmy if you had never made this video I may have never known just who I would become. Love ya brother.
The first thing that comes to mind when I watch your amazing videos is "How many times have you hurt yourself doing this?" and "Oh my god. this is amazing." Even though I don't work with power tools, I do some chipboard stuff and I still manage to learn a few tricks from how you go about building your amazing objects!
Is there anything you can't make? I've watched virtually all of your videos and they inspire people (especially me) to just go out and create something, anything... I pat you on the back sir, great job!
For a second there, I thought that Jimmy was cutting that thing while smoking a Cigar! Turns out, it was just a marker. Phew! That was a close call there... Oh and the clear coat. God I love natural colored wood. JIMMY YOU FORGOT WHEELS!
Dear Jimmy, That was an awesome video! Thanks much. I was mesmerized and just watched with my jaw hanging open….Was a shipyard carpenter many years ago, your finish work is beautiful. Great video editing as well, I really like the stop frame/time lapse. Reminds me of watching Gumby and Pokey as a young lad!
So cool! I hope they donated the tools! If so, great idea for both you and them! Hopefully you get a TV show or something. You inspire people to want to build things, so it's only natural.
thank you ! the vid was to feature the Gyro driver i am using.. alway tv talk going on .. but youtube is where the heart is ! thank you for the kind words !
Jimmy I like the look of the dovetails with the exposed plywood end grain. A very different approach....and might I say thinking out of the box! Nice job I really love your craftsmanship.
I know it's an old vídeo, but I had to comment on it. The 2 things I liked most are the hand made joinery of the box and the way the lid blends into the frame of the box. Awesome details like this pop out to me.
Hello Jimmi my name is Egisto Paolo I write to you from Sardinia a paradise island of Italy. I would like to congratulate you for the extraordinary and fantastic work you make. For me it's a pleasure to see your videos look at them and look at them several times. I hope one day to build the dewalt gearbox. Still thank you Jimmi greetings from Sardinia
I am so glad you dont use a bottle of glue for every damn part of the box!! Some of these people think that spreading a 1/16 of glue on every surface is the "proper" way........ but thats only for contact cement to bond.......... watching your videos makes me miss working in the metal shop
Damn that was a great video. I can't tell you how awesome it is to watch things come together and fit just right, this is what does it for me as a woodworker
I actually enjoyed some of the more blatant attempts to advertise for DeWalt such as the tape measure being positioned perfectly in many shots and the logo of DeWalt on the table saw blade when the blade stopped spinning... I found it to be quite humorous :) And great video, as always!
I don't see why people are complaining about DeWalt paying for this video. That was very openly stated, and really didn't have any real effect on the video. The chest was cool with or without the branding, and it's dead simple to make as well. Frankly, I like the branding on the chest. DeWalt is a good brand, and that chest looks pretty sweet with their logo on it. I'm tempted to build that exact chest.
Hi Jimmy Follow a lot of your channels. Thoroughly enjoy them, especially the banter with your brother. Your vision and design is something to be in awe of, for any budding young craft worker. Keep it up and let's have more.Cheers Dave
Some guy or gal is going to be the luckiest person in the world! I hope it's me! Great work as always Jimmy! I zen out while watching your work! Always amazing craftsmanship!
ha i love the disclaimer Jimmy and think it is completely not needed. you are a craftsman of the highest caliber and you make the things you do with the tools you prefer. me and the rest your fans couldn't care if you had a Ryobi sponsorship so long as you are making the beautiful things you do and love doint it. on an amusing side note there are many you tube guys who have sponsorship's or at least make no excuses for the tools they prefer like wood whisperer and powermatic or the samurai carpenter and Makita.
Sometimes I feel a lot of your projects are a little half baked, or at the very least "niche", but this was super cool. Gave me a lot of neat ideas, thanks.
makita is where it's at. Sweet box though. this man is a monster on the bandsaw. I feel it's the only power tool he would really need based on his vids. I've been watching them on breaks at work for the last week lol.
Ha! I had written exactly that DeWalt should bring you a truck load of tools and a little money, not too much money, so you keep making these vids! Glad they heard the call!
I liked the Porter Cable drill. I have the same one. Not switching to DeWalt. How ever the track saw does look tempting. By the way enjoy the video's and every time the hammer comes out I chuckle at the noise from the track being sped up.
Really enjoyed that, very cool to see tools that are accessible to all being used by such a skilled craftsman, something all of us can try to attain. Keep up the brilliant work.
Ha. Didn't see the title or description of the video, but halfway through, i'm like, "man... is this a dewalt commercial?" ;) Love my dewalt tools. Cool project. I might have to make something similar.
+TheFoodnipple more like milsucky now XD only good brands now (i think) are feine, festool and eerm cant think of the other one, damn erm the blue green-ish one XD
You are one talented guy my man and I have watched this video at least 10 times. I subscribe and love the tips. Especially the wall hanging video- just awesome. I am a DeWalt guy anyways but I love seeing the router trick with the clamps. Never thought of that. Well done and thanks for making this vid sir!
Your shop should, or better saying, NEED to become a tourist attraction. I for one would love to pay you a visit when over there! Another awesome cool piece on this video! Congratulations Jimmy! :)
Pretty sweet DeWalt hooked you up. Could've been Skill or Ryobi... Ive watched a ton of videos on RUclips and your work inspires more than anyone, keep it up...
Cool project! Agree with the other guy, I watch your channel for tips and what I call impossible ideas. Keep up the great work! I'm defently giving this ago!
I have to say, I just lost it when I saw the Dewalt(R)(TM) tape measure sitting there during one of the cutting scenes. I know it's a sponsored video and Jimmy says so upfront but it's still hilarious to see SO MANY dewalt tools and dewalt branded... everything all over the shop in every shot. I suppose they got their monies worth and the viewing audience gets a nice if chuckle worthy video to watch.
yes, NOW they do, but I bet when he bought it, Porter Cable was still an awesome mfr. Now as Part of the one of the biggest scam Monopoly's, they are being diluted and being made in Mexico and China....who would have thought that Menards Chinese tools would one day become superior to Home Depot's chinese crap. Even Echo is crap now......nothing is good at Home Depot or Lowes.
Great looking tool box. Maybe needs a set of wheels to move around on? Doesn't look too comfy to sit on with the lettering on top of it haha. Thanks for the video.
From a recent devotee. I just love your video style. Would have thought this one was sponsored some sort of tool company but I couldn't quite make out which one.
Jimmy, you really do not need a disclaimer or even feel the need for an apology for taking on a client like this! Your fans watch for the work you do. We love to see the tricks and techniques you come up with to do what many of us would consider impossible tasks.

Mark thank you for the kind words ! little this venture with dewalt dint go any where so i move on. Thank you for your support!

I'm 67 years old and I learn more every time I watch you make something ! And I've been doing this type of work for over 50 years ! You are amazing !!!
THANK U for the love Mr santulli !
That fucking deWalt tape measure was following me the whole video. I'm going to check under my bed for it before I go to sleep tonight
you are one of the people that are inspiring me to grow up good and buy tools with my money instead of useless videogames or something if that nature you make me want to spend time out in my garage building stuff and things instead of sitting here man you are an inspiration and thank you for taking your time out of your day to make these vids
the only video i've seen so far where you actually show power tool branding, i remember i clip where you stated that you would rather brand yourself and you don't show any branding whatsoever and i fully agree! great video man!
This is the best woodworking video of all time ,thanks Jimmy from Italy!!!!
And that's when he realized, shoulda put wheels on it.
God I cringed when it scrapped across the floor. Such a nice looking box
i'm re-writing my will.....when i die i want jimmy to make my coffin
Die Rester. Lol. .
With bold Embossed
lettering, "told you I was sick"
Great chest Jimmy. I'm so glad new people are getting to see your talents for the first time. Many of us have had the pleasure to follow you for years. You still the man.
Thank you !!!!! for the support !

Mr. DiResta it's a pleasure watch you during these works... Many Thanks for share it with us!
The first thing that comes to mind when I watch your amazing videos is "How many times have you hurt yourself doing this?" and "Oh my god. this is amazing." Even though I don't work with power tools, I do some chipboard stuff and I still manage to learn a few tricks from how you go about building your amazing objects!
Muchas gracias Sr.Diresta ,es toda una inspiración para mi y un gran maestro.saludos desde España.
Is there anything you can't make? I've watched virtually all of your videos and they inspire people (especially me) to just go out and create something, anything... I pat you on the back sir, great job!
same thinking
You put DeWalt on the box!? Not Diresta? I guess it's ok, I'm sure every screw says Diresta on its head.
It's going to be slightly awkward if he ever decides to change his name.
+butts what if he gets a wife?
butts what?
butts i live in germany, here often men change their last name in marriage. lol
Germany has become a laughing stock.
All the rubbish i watch, and after this its all been worth the wait thank you for taking the time to show the world what an amazing craftsman you are
For a second there, I thought that Jimmy was cutting that thing while smoking a Cigar! Turns out, it was just a marker. Phew! That was a close call there...
Oh and the clear coat. God I love natural colored wood. JIMMY YOU FORGOT WHEELS!
ha ! no real cigs fr me in 25 years ! thank you , yes wheels !
It's got to weigh like 150lbs... You can't lug that thing around, throw your back out man!
Dear Jimmy, That was an awesome video! Thanks much. I was mesmerized and just watched with my jaw hanging open….Was a shipyard carpenter many years ago, your finish work is beautiful. Great video editing as well, I really like the stop frame/time lapse. Reminds me of watching Gumby and Pokey as a young lad!
You would like frank howarth's RUclips channel, then.
Ficou fantástica essa caixa para ferramentas.
Essa caixa ficou muito legal. Caprichou no serviço!
So cool! I hope they donated the tools! If so, great idea for both you and them! Hopefully you get a TV show or something. You inspire people to want to build things, so it's only natural.
thank you ! the vid was to feature the Gyro driver i am using.. alway tv talk going on .. but youtube is where the heart is ! thank you for the kind words !
Jimmy already has a TV show called 'Dirty Money'. You should watch it, its's awesome! He also produced 'Trash to cash'.
Reinout S i thought 'Dirty Money' had been canceled
Another great build and video thank you so much for sharing!
Jimmy, you are a god of wood/mixed media art. Best videos on RUclips. I'm still planning on getting the DeWalt Sliding Miter Saw. That thing is sweet.
Jimmy I like the look of the dovetails with the exposed plywood end grain. A very different approach....and might I say thinking out of the box! Nice job I really love your craftsmanship.
Nice video. That router base-clamp-stop block was great!
Popped up in my feed today, an oldie but a goodie.
Está hermosa esa caja de herramientas... Felicitaciones!!!
Beautiful! Impressed as always, and dig that router guide trick
Awesome. Very cool little design on the chest.Very fun to watch in fast forward.
Good job Jimmy. I make all kind of boxes with box joints I happen to like the looks of them.... Look forward to you next project...
Mas é um exibido mesmo com essas ferramentas.mas igual a ti vi poucos.parabens amigo grande profissional
I know it's an old vídeo, but I had to comment on it. The 2 things I liked most are the hand made joinery of the box and the way the lid blends into the frame of the box. Awesome details like this pop out to me.
Hello Jimmi my name is Egisto Paolo I write to you from Sardinia a paradise island of Italy.
I would like to congratulate you for the extraordinary and fantastic work you make.
For me it's a pleasure to see your videos look at them and look at them several times.
I hope one day to build the dewalt gearbox.
Still thank you Jimmi greetings from Sardinia
Nicely done Jimmy! True, not enough wheels..
I wish I could get work done that fast! Great build, loved the clamp on router fence.
I think this episode should be called "DiWalta" ;)...
Believe it or not, I was blowing the wood dust from the screen when I was watching you.. lmfao
Great now I have a strong urge to redo my old wood tool box, well done as usual
I am so glad you dont use a bottle of glue for every damn part of the box!! Some of these people think that spreading a 1/16 of glue on every surface is the "proper" way........ but thats only for contact cement to bond.......... watching your videos makes me miss working in the metal shop
Человек-генератор идей! Спасибо! Смотреть приятно! Шуруповерт супер!
Damn that was a great video. I can't tell you how awesome it is to watch things come together and fit just right, this is what does it for me as a woodworker

I'm voting daily .....for you jimmy DiResta...till December 12th ....love it ...tools wish I had more ......

Hi Jimmy
Follow a lot of your channels. Thoroughly enjoy them, especially the banter with your brother.
Your vision and design is something to be in awe of, for any budding young craft worker. Keep it up and let's have more.Cheers
Dave
This guys building skills are unbelievable. His obsession with DeWalt is scary.
If I were Dewalt I would do whatever it takes to get you on the sponsorship. Love your work and ideas.
Some guy or gal is going to be the luckiest person in the world! I hope it's me! Great work as always Jimmy! I zen out while watching your work! Always amazing craftsmanship!
ha i love the disclaimer Jimmy and think it is completely not needed. you are a craftsman of the highest caliber and you make the things you do with the tools you prefer. me and the rest your fans couldn't care if you had a Ryobi sponsorship so long as you are making the beautiful things you do and love doint it. on an amusing side note there are many you tube guys who have sponsorship's or at least make no excuses for the tools they prefer like wood whisperer and powermatic or the samurai carpenter and Makita.
Jimmy you are hardcore, crazy talented. You are an inspiration to so many handymen, thank you for sharing with us your amazing skills and creativity.
Sometimes I feel a lot of your projects are a little half baked, or at the very least "niche", but this was super cool. Gave me a lot of neat ideas, thanks.
All of the sudden I have an urge to run out and buy DeWalt tools for some reason.
Great work! Really enjoying your videos and craftsmanship
That case is awesome! very detailed but also simple and effective!
I think a set of wheels for it would be awesome too
makita is where it's at. Sweet box though. this man is a monster on the bandsaw. I feel it's the only power tool he would really need based on his vids. I've been watching them on breaks at work for the last week lol.
Ha! I had written exactly that DeWalt should bring you a truck load of tools and a little money, not too much money, so you keep making these vids! Glad they heard the call!
I liked the Porter Cable drill. I have the same one. Not switching to DeWalt. How ever the track saw does look tempting.
By the way enjoy the video's and every time the hammer comes out I chuckle at the noise from the track being sped up.
Ну что тут скажешь ; МАСТЕР !!!
Top demais. Além do Profissional!
That circular saw is amazing!
Really enjoyed that, very cool to see tools that are accessible to all being used by such a skilled craftsman, something all of us can try to attain. Keep up the brilliant work.
Ainda tinha a opção de adicionar rodinhas e cabo móvel, por questão de ergonomia e facilidade no transporte.
Hermoso trabajo de alguien que tiene mucho oficio Felicitaciones Maestro
03:55 - 04:00
Uggghhh, yesss, so satisfying. Love his work.
Ha. Didn't see the title or description of the video, but halfway through, i'm like, "man... is this a dewalt commercial?" ;) Love my dewalt tools.
Cool project. I might have to make something similar.
Parabéns jimmy sou seu fá trabalho sempre perfeito mais uma vez parabéns
Any contractor, installer, carpenter...any tradesman would be proud to carry that box into a job site. Beautiful work!
I didn't even want to watch this video, but once I hit play there was no going back. I couldn't look away if I wanted to.
Amazing attention to detail.
Such a good video. Pretty much the perfect tool box for great tools. Keep the videos coming
Should have filled the box with Milwaukee tools lol
+Mr. Dark read the description
+TheFoodnipple more like milsucky now XD only good brands now (i think) are feine, festool and eerm cant think of the other one, damn erm the blue green-ish one XD
+Mr. Dark he bought all of the tools except for 2
+TheFoodnipple i think he was making a coffin lol
*cough* festool *cough*
You are one talented guy my man and I have watched this video at least 10 times. I subscribe and love the tips. Especially the wall hanging video- just awesome. I am a DeWalt guy anyways but I love seeing the router trick with the clamps. Never thought of that. Well done and thanks for making this vid sir!
Awesome job. Those details make that chest so cool.
One of my favorite builds!! Awesome job Jimmy!
Excellent! I'd love a tool box like that. Well done sir.
Really well done!
Daaang!! U made it look so easy man.. Now am a frustratrared wood worker..
Com essas ferramentas. Boas ai eu tambem faria muitas coisas👏👏👏👏
Your shop should, or better saying, NEED to become a tourist attraction. I for one would love to pay you a visit when over there! Another awesome cool piece on this video! Congratulations Jimmy! :)
thank you !!
Seeing all those DeWalt tools kinda reminds me of Bumble Bee from Transformers.
DeWalt must be pretty awesome, you managed to ake that crate in less than 10 minutes!
Sou do brasil e acompanho seu trabalho parabens ideias criativas
Amazing craftsmanship
Pretty sweet DeWalt hooked you up. Could've been Skill or Ryobi... Ive watched a ton of videos on RUclips and your work inspires more than anyone, keep it up...
The makers of this video would like to state that there ' Are other tool brands available '
Good job and a thumbs up !!!!!
This video makes me yearn for those dewalt tools sooooooo much
Really neat storage box Jimmy. I like the finished look. The dewalt letters are pretty cool. Good work like always man.
Cool project! Agree with the other guy, I watch your channel for tips and what I call impossible ideas. Keep up the great work! I'm defently giving this ago!
I have to say, I just lost it when I saw the Dewalt(R)(TM) tape measure sitting there during one of the cutting scenes. I know it's a sponsored video and Jimmy says so upfront but it's still hilarious to see SO MANY dewalt tools and dewalt branded... everything all over the shop in every shot. I suppose they got their monies worth and the viewing audience gets a nice if chuckle worthy video to watch.
Gracias x ilustrarmee los proyectos en casa
More great work from Jimmy! I always enjoy seeing a new video. Thanks Jimmy for taking the time to share what you do!
Thank you for the kind words !
Realmente una maravilla de trabajo.. te felicito y te mando un gran abrazo desde Argentina,,,, sigue asi con tu genialidades,,,
genial yimy, eres fanatico de dewalt, y muy bonito trabajo, dewalt la mejor eramienta
ADMIRO AS CRIAÇÕES DO DIMMY DIRESTA E FICO FOCADO NO ACABAMENTO MESMO ELE UTILIZANDO EQUIPAMENTOS DE ULTIMA GERAÇÃO !!!
It was the Porter Cable nail gun that really made this box nice.
hahaha
urusoimi dewalt owns porter cable
yes, NOW they do, but I bet when he bought it, Porter Cable was still an awesome mfr. Now as Part of the one of the biggest scam Monopoly's, they are being diluted and being made in Mexico and China....who would have thought that Menards Chinese tools would one day become superior to Home Depot's chinese crap. Even Echo is crap now......nothing is good at Home Depot or Lowes.

I noticed your festool domino biscuit joiner in other vids. That's an awesome tool!
I have no idea how I ended up here, but I find it strangely satisfying to watch.
Great looking tool box. Maybe needs a set of wheels to move around on? Doesn't look too comfy to sit on with the lettering on top of it haha. Thanks for the video.
From a recent devotee. I just love your video style. Would have thought this one was sponsored some sort of tool company but I couldn't quite make out which one.
