OMG! I would give you a big hug if i was closer! I have been struggling on how to make replacement radiant heat covers in a renovation of one of my properties with limited access to tools as i'm 700 miles from my shop. I have pondered all different designs that in the end wouldn't work with the tools available but your simple design is exactly what i need.....I don't know why i didn't think of it. And who says "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"? THANK YOU for that inspiration. (BTW you are my 2nd favorite woodworker, sorry NORM is number 1, i'm sure you understand, lol)
Wow, beautiful build! Every woman wants those. A nice place to have a cup of coffee and stare out the window in day dreams. Bravo! The cats will lounge there all the time.
Reminds me of your classic videos, very well done. The speed of the time lapse was nice in this video, not too fast the entire time. And you had shots of yourself and the workshop. Really makes the viewer feel like they’re in the shop with you when you take those wide angle shots. Great video!
I keep telling myself year after year, "someday I'll be as good as all of you crafts people". Well, I'm now 66 and still watching, still loving what is taught, but no closer to my dream of being crafty and/or owning some good tools.. Oh well, I love to see what you folk come up with and do not regret a minute of my journey into perpetual laziness.
Great solution to allow heat to rise up, but that style of convector needs a slats panel also at the floor level in the front to allow the cold air to move thru the convector. A raised bottom to create a duct for cold air path is needed.
Sean Signer what he said +1; thermo & heat transfer stuff; space then up a little to let air flow through the bottom of the fin tube and out the slats you made on top 👍👍
Okay, have to admit this one didn't catch me right off the bat but curiosity kept me. Loved how you solved the baseboard heating blockage. Nicely done.
I got several useful tips from this one!! The vents are a great design!! The small hands wiping the glue was Hilarious!! You guys are goofballs , I LOVE IT!!
to be honest it looks kinda sloppy at times but in the end the result turns out perfectly... and it would have taken me probably 10 times as long... thats the real skill right there! love it!
Having made a bunch of covers, shrouds and cabinets for radiators, one thing you might consider is grabbing some thin aluminum sheet and screwing it to any face that faces a heat source. Actually makes a big difference in heat distribution. Rather than the wood soaking in the heat, reflects the heat back. Have tried steel, but but it rusts unless you paint it etc. Nice thin sheets are pretty cheap at supply houses as they are usually cutoffs from other projects. Have used them for projects I have built for NYC apartments that have super old steam radiators that people wanted bookcases above. Easy to apply where you need to do, and direct the heat where you want it to go, also minimizes excessive expansion and contraction of your materials
Hey jimmy, every time I see those little fingers, I have to chuckle, and who couldn't use a good chuckle nowadays?!?! Thanks for the great content as always! :)
Nice build and like how you created the vents in the back. As per the Making It Podcast 200 you explain why you are not worried about the radiator vents because they do not work. Great build and thank you for the inspiration to make stuff.
Very nice vent system. You'll get some degree of natural convection from that design as it will never be exactly the same temperature from one side to the other. A simple solution (to address melickon's concerns) is to create a draft channel in the bottom at each end with some rectangular duct or PVC and put some creatively contrived air openings in that front base trim. Great design overall with the storage space.
Bravo! Beautiful job & like all great projects the end result looks like it has always been there & such a lovely place to sit with all the light from the windows especially with the snow outside & the warmth from the wood burner to keep you cosy. Thanks for sharing!
think i'm going to copy that flip up table like the one you had the shaving machine and 2 other machines on if i build it right and on casters i can roll it under my workbench when not in use , thanks for the idea might've been a good idea to paint the slits all around before gleuing and stapling them together the next time you make sumting like that , its eazier then forcing the brush in there benches turned out nice
Jimmy, I hope you might consider a visit to Jarrett bay boatworks. The standard is that of Japanese carpentry and I would love to see you in person. The guys that build the furniture are 2nd to none. I was a finish carpenter here until leadership changed but none the less it is a craft worth seeing. The town is very much low key and beautiful. This was blackbeards home also. From one maker to another, I would love to show you around the boat world!
I would.give my right testicle and 1 kidney to come and work with you Jimmy. Love your videos and the jobs that you get to do. Honestly I cant stop watching
Brother you just gave me an amazing idea for some benches I needed to make. I have a plug and air vent I have been trying to draw around for months. (also other project stop me) Thank you very kindly.
On this episode of Jimmies Old House, we follow along as he builds a window seat. Nice work! I didn’t read the title and only clued into what it was about 75% through.
These look great! I forget about window seats sometimes. I could use some more storage and seating around here. I think I have another project for the list!
Great project once again jimmy but at the end you are sitting right by that door are you guys going to put a stopper or a catch so the door doesnt swing into the seat scuffing or damaging it and the door?
Jimmy, this is great project! One comment: Hearing system "sucks" cold air from floor heats it and it rises meeting cold air from window. You have partially covered path for rising air. It reduces effectiveness of heating system. Bigger problem that you have totally blocked cold air stream from floor. I assume that it reduces effectiveness of heating dramatically. These seats should have roughly 15 cm (6 im) legs to rise above floor.
melickon is right. You have Hydronic baseboards not radiant baseboards. You need at least an inch of air flow underneath the seat for the Hydronic baseboard to begin to block the drafts from those old single pane windows.
Unfortunately, I know from experience that the plywood he used is garbage not capable of taking stain. You really need to pay attention to plywood these days as the market has been flooded with garbage from overseas.
Hi Jimmy, nice build I'm building some cabinets in mdf at the moment with solid oak trim and doors, I've been using biscuit joints but its a bit slow cutting all the slots with gluing up , Do the pocket hole joints work in mdf? Regards Will🐩
Great video. Watching you and Brett working together reminded of when I used to help my dad wrench on cars. Eventually, I learned to anticipate my dad's next move - hand him a wrench, hold something for him, tighten the next bolt. One time a friend came over to watch us. He was amazed because my dad and I worked in complete silence. It looked to him like we were reading each other's minds. Does Brett anticipate your next move without your instruction? Do you guys work in silence? Do read each others minds? : ) Great looking benches. : )
Beautiful work and such great craftsmanship, justed enjoyed watching you work. That flip over planer knocked my socks off. What were the other tools on that flipping table?
Ive learned so much from watching u make badass shit over the years and u hardly ever explain how u do it. But yet I spend hours watching some other RUclips channel sit there and explain every step and I still don't get it. You litterly r the best all around channel when it comes to making or restoring things.

Air will find a way. ;)
Yay! An American using a crown guard an riving knife... I never would have thought I'd see the day. 11/10 DiResta!

What is better than getting to watch an artist at his or her craft? You make it look effortless.
I got several useful tips from this one!! The vents are a great design!! The small hands wiping the glue was Hilarious!! You guys are goofballs , I LOVE IT!!
Absolutely beautiful. GREAT solution to the heater issue!
Those turned out great!! A cover for the baseboard heaters, a pair of window seats and storage! Well done!
Those turned out really nice and look perfect in that room. Nice place to hang out and sit by the window. 👍👍
tiny hands always make me smile. Nice to see them jumping in and helping spread some glue.
Really liked Jimmy - they look good in their spot! I liked how the vent pieces went into place. - Jim
to be honest it looks kinda sloppy at times but in the end the result turns out perfectly...
and it would have taken me probably 10 times as long... thats the real skill right there!
love it!
I always enjoy a "Classic Diresta" Very well done!
Classic Diresta is an AK47 style guitar. This is fine but need MOAR random cool shit.
Great build as always! Your wingman does a great job running the job one step ahead.
The joy of woodworking with Jimmy DiResta :-)
Terrific work as always Jimmy! Those turned out great.....................
Love seeing the tiny hands helping out!
Love watching the talented and skilled JD.
Very kool, your home is literally you. ....looking forward to next video.
Congratulations on 1.5M!
DiResta's Tiny Hand needs to meet Binging with Babish's Tiny Whisk. Seems like a match made in heaven.
Nice Homey creation, you know "Warm".. Came out Beautiful..... Upstate Country Living .. Stay well my brother
Looks original to the house. Another job was well done by Diresta & Co.
Nice work Jimmy, My grandmother is delighted. Old school.
I love how creative Negan has become since his reformation.
Love the Jazz! When you slowly ducked down, knew Eric was coming. Yay HTR!
That was Derek from Malden

not your best canoe but respect for trying again haha ;) much love and keep up the great work

HE DROVE THE TRUCK RIGHT INTO THE STORE. MUST HAVE BEEN COLD!
Always love your videos! Thanks for you sharing your talent and wisdom!

think i'm going to copy that flip up table like the one you had the shaving machine and 2 other machines on
if i build it right and on casters i can roll it under my workbench when not in use , thanks for the idea
might've been a good idea to paint the slits all around before gleuing and stapling them together the next time you make sumting like that , its eazier then forcing the brush in there
benches turned out nice
I liked when Brett distributed the glue with the mini hands. Those hands help everywhere!😁
Ahh.. That sound of the nailgun, I can hear it all day long! You to, don't you Jimmy.. (14:40) 😆
You live in a amazing world. Thank you for sharing it.
Another great video JD!!! Stay Awesome!!!
The little hands. That shit never gets old!

Oh yeah, it is in Beaufort NC
FYI if you slow the playback spppeeed down to .25 you can see Spike pacing in the background.
I like how it got really breezy all of a sudden toward the end. Nice edit guys!
I would.give my right testicle and 1 kidney to come and work with you Jimmy. Love your videos and the jobs that you get to do. Honestly I cant stop watching
Always impressed when, at the end, it fits precisely on place... 😮
That smooth camera switch right before entering Lowes, amazing
You are not DIY, you are professional. In contrast with DIY, your work looks arbitrary and rough, then magically fits with each other very nicely
Those Glue-hands (pat.pending) really spread it evenly. Excellent design :)
Oh now this is nice, love these speed projects, just sit back with a cup of tea and relax 😎👍
Or cacao 😊
Cocoa
And biscuits 👍
@@ThePhilandPam and cheescake
And eggs 🥚
DiResta - you are the best!!!
So zeitgeisty. That's on my books to build. Ta for the starting ideas. Love the vents.
That Transition! Bravo! 0.06
Excelente, me río mucho con tus locuras, me gustaría que uses barbijo más seguido así tenemos Diresta para rato...saludos desde Argentina!
Excellent. I am going to redo baseboard covers with your cent design, now that I have learned a thing or two from folks on this web site thing.
The last video of the night!!!
Here is exactly midnigh
Good job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brother you just gave me an amazing idea for some benches I needed to make. I have a plug and air vent I have been trying to draw around for months. (also other project stop me) Thank you very kindly.
Do the little helping hands ever go lumber shopping!! Love, love, love those wee fingers!!
Ça déchire tout !! Comme d habitude 👌😉
Amazing project!!! Those tiny hands are funny and creepy at the same time:)))
You’re a genius. I didn’t realize that the slotted pieces you made were for the heat vents until you attached them to the seat boxes.
You looking good man!, look at that style. Really good job btw!
Klasse Arbeit und lustig gemacht!
Awesome work Jimmy! 👍🏻👊🏻 Definitely improved the space!
I didn’t read the title of the video on purpose trying to guess what you were building, making it even more interesting, great job like always
Kept wondering where these thrown-together, rough and rustic window seats were going. When I saw the space, it all made sense.
Hi Jimmy !Nice work man!😎👍👍👍Best wishes from Bulats Schmiede (The man with the carzy mobil anvil on a tree stump !)😉✌
No farmhouse cat, No farmhouse dog, no farmhouse chicken's. What's-Up!!!! Great Window Seats. Thank's for sharing.
Sold the cat, kicked the dog and ate the chickens ...... hehehe !!
:-)
Love the intro drive in. Had to rewind, I thought I blinked and missed something :)
On this episode of Jimmies Old House, we follow along as he builds a window seat.
Nice work! I didn’t read the title and only clued into what it was about 75% through.
Them there window seats sure are "Purdy" 😝 Always looking forward to your videos Jimmy. Keep em commin!
Keeps pin nailing the air, Warner Bros style... 👍
I always enjoy your content Jimmy, thank you for sharing another great project!
These look great! I forget about window seats sometimes. I could use some more storage and seating around here. I think I have another project for the list!
I could watch you play Jenga with those little hands all day long.
Great project once again jimmy but at the end you are sitting right by that door are you guys going to put a stopper or a catch so the door doesnt swing into the seat scuffing or damaging it and the door?
Nicely done with the piano hinge! Maybe a future tutorial?
What is simple is genial. Great and fast work!
Jimmy, this is great project! One comment: Hearing system "sucks" cold air from floor heats it and it rises meeting cold air from window. You have partially covered path for rising air. It reduces effectiveness of heating system. Bigger problem that you have totally blocked cold air stream from floor. I assume that it reduces effectiveness of heating dramatically.

melickon is right. You have Hydronic baseboards not radiant baseboards. You need at least an inch of air flow underneath the seat for the Hydronic baseboard to begin to block the drafts from those old single pane windows.
It will be nice having that additional seething in there. Seemed to be the gathering room. Lol 😂 Derek creeping around.
Nice Job. But why did you use oak, when you paint it anyways?
My guess heat from the baseboard rads.
The vented area needed hardwood because it is thin strips and you will be able to see the edge grain from an angle.
Unfortunately, I know from experience that the plywood he used is garbage not capable of taking stain. You really need to pay attention to plywood these days as the market has been flooded with garbage from overseas.
Same question, i guess you can still see the grain under 1 coat of paint?
@@MrStudioso yes and the thin veneered face is not protected by hardwood edge or edge banding making it vulnerable to peeling or delamination.
Painting over the oak!! I can't even right now...
Hi Jimmy, nice build I'm building some cabinets in mdf at the moment with solid oak trim and doors, I've been using biscuit joints but its a bit slow cutting all the slots with gluing up , Do the pocket hole joints work in mdf? Regards Will🐩
12:58 Great to see the other set of coasters has survived.. I do only see three of the four.
Maybe you should design yourself a foot operated pocket hole jig to help speed up these builds. Enjoyed the video!!
I have been looking for a way to make a floor vent out of wood great idea
Great video.
Watching you and Brett working together reminded of when I used to help my dad wrench on cars. Eventually, I learned to anticipate my dad's next move - hand him a wrench, hold something for him, tighten the next bolt. One time a friend came over to watch us. He was amazed because my dad and I worked in complete silence. It looked to him like we were reading each other's minds.
Does Brett anticipate your next move without your instruction? Do you guys work in silence? Do read each others minds? : )
Great looking benches. : )
Great work Jimmy
Please tell me there is a video on the making of that planer bench (7:33) Too cool.
So what i can say after watching this video.
Only bravo mr Diresta.
😄
Awesome build.
Awesome as always. Man, I wish I had just half of tools at my disposal that you've got.
Beautiful work and such great craftsmanship, justed enjoyed watching you work. That flip over planer knocked my socks off. What were the other tools on that flipping table?
Fastest worker I’ve ever seen, no talking 😂👍
In the winter you can put your gloves in the box and it will keep them warm.
Ive learned so much from watching u make badass shit over the years and u hardly ever explain how u do it. But yet I spend hours watching some other RUclips channel sit there and explain every step and I still don't get it.

Ryan howard thank you 🙏🏼
Love those hands funny shit😄😄😄😄
I love that pocket hole jig with the clamp system and dust removal. What brand is that?
