You're The Best Jimmy! I've been working as a Stage hand my entire life (I'm 50) started at 16,Specializing in Rigging , I've also done Props,Carpentry, most,everything. I've been mainly a touring Production Rigger for many years now but that's going to end sooner than later , (it's a young man's gig) but luckily I've ran across you and you've INSPIRED the hell out of me to create a new life. I thank you so much because I honestly had no idea what I was going to do as I age out of a extremely demanding trade. I will always be involved in the entertainment industry , as I've been a member of IATSE for 30 yrs but now I feel I'll be able to treat myself to a more creative lifestyle in my later yrs. Again, Thanks for the Inspiration! Good Stuff my Man !
Wonderful Jimmy. I enjoyed every minute of it. Your students are lucky to have such a teacher as you. Thank you for passing on your knowledge and experience.
I don't watch a whole lot of videos these days, but you're my go to source of inspiration. I love your approach and ability to keep everything fun & entertaining.
Jimmy, you are a ROCK STAR! Your videos make me feel good about the world. The fact you have students that will learn some of your craft is particularly gratifying.
Talking or no talking, fast forward or not, we all enjoy your vids, we cannot thank you enough Mr. DiResta, you are part of so many lives and families around the globe..... I'm pretty much sure you are being watched in our neighbors galaxy Andromeda, yeah you wait and see!!! 👏🏻🍺🛠🔧💡🗡👌🏻😄
Hi Jimmy, I have been a subscriber for many years mate and this will be my first comment as I imagine you get so many that you won't be able to read them all, BUT, don't ever underestimate how much you inspire the average "Joe in the street" (ME for one!) Thanks a lot pal. N.
Yep, these vlogs are awesome. I must say, my prized possession is my ice pick. If you remember, you gave me the brass pieces at Mini Maker Faire Rochester because you didn't have any of the actual picks at that time. You challenged me to finish it. Of course I did, and as far as I'm concerned, it was my first collaboration with the great Jimmy DiResta! hahaha
I love seeing the book making process. I worked at a book bindery for about 2 years and ran a paper binder machine for a short time before work slowed down and forced me to look for employment elsewhere. I still credit that job to getting me into working around machines and with my hands. It was a real big confidence booster learning how to set up the machine to run books through it. It would take sections of paper back books and put the paper covers on them using hot melt glue. It would then go down a conveyer belt to a three knife machine to trim the three sides of the book and then would get put into boxes to be shipped out.
Shit, I'd eat Diresta brand pizza, and I'd cut it with a Diresta brand pizza cutter, then I'd eat it on my Diresta brand plates, while sitting on my Direstra brand chair at my Direstra brand table. Heck, I might even get a Direstra brand house and car!
I now see that you work with guys with different backgrounds (chefs, business men). Maybe it is time to meet! I am an orthopaedic surgeon and a maker myself. I make when I am at work and I make at home. We have a "maker's faire" for orthopaedic surgeons at the Hospital for Special Surgery at the end of November. We need to talk!
In terms of high-end French Sweets and Pastries, Ladurée in SoHo would likely fit the bill! Thanks for including the student packaging projects, was cool to see that.
I was wrong. You did it again Jimmy. I do you enjoy your silent sped up build vids. I also dig the variety , scope and personality of this vlog style you've developed. You're the man.
I became aware of your talent when you and your brother had the show on HGTV and I found you again because I watch all these other woodworking videos and they all would reference something you had done. I looked at one video someone referenced and I went wait a minute that is the same artist. I laughed at myself and kept watching every video of you I can find. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see your artistry in action. Please keep posting videos and teaching your craft.
I love seeing the student work, you can really tell you're getting as much out of the experience as they are, very cool stuff to see. Thanks for sharing Jimmy.
I am addicted to your vlog. I have no building/make experience at all (unless we're talking music composition), but your work is always so creative and inspiring! Thanks for just keeping me engaged and entertained! You are awesome!!
There is something about all of you're videos that inspire me to get in shop and make. It's really easy to let projects sit in a corner to be forgotten about, while I catch up on whatever Netflix show that has me magnetized. But, seeing other people's love and excitement for restoring old tools, turning garbage into glamour, or just keeping busy preventing hands from going idle. It sounds cliche, but being inspired by others very may well have saved lives. Human s need to be productive. It's in our DNA, it's how we have evolved so much as a species. If our minds and hands are idol, we fall into a depression. (I digress) my point is; great vids, please keep an coming. Cheers
That elephant package combines really cool concept and functionality! Awesome! Those kind of vlogging videos are made in really interesting way! We learn a lot thanks for that!
I regret that I never took the time to learn from my grandpa. He had a great workshop and always wanted me to get involved. I think your vids will encourage kids to learn metal and woodworking. Much love. My Gpa would have loved your videos.
I never thought of you like a teacher, just more of an interested fella that's comfortable explaining what he's doing... but I guess that's essentially a teacher.
(in my best French voice).." Aaah wee wee! zee' pizah' taste like zee' double u Dee fortee'..and zee' Rust!!!).. LOL! Much Love Brother! Have A Super Week!..... Gus
I just listened to the making it podcast about the sub lose coz of the vlog never let that get to u I now have a small workshop I make things all the time it's thinks to u jimmy no one inspires me more to make than u thanks for all the tips and ideas
If you come to France, I definitely want to be the Party. Your work is just incredible, already two years that I follow you and you taught me so many things. J'aimerais vous dire merci!
Nice vid! Love the student projects. I used your 8 page fold method for a little portfolio handout for our company at a trade show last year. It was a hit. Project builds on every page and a big map to local attractions on the back when you unfold it.
Just by the way I never minded you talking during your build videos. I'm not sure if it takes you longer to make the video with the dialog over top of it, but I always liked it. Like always your videos and builds are awesome!
A genuine pleasure to see you :) Working on a DiResta's pizza right now
ps : Elephant package was genius
it`s a Good collaboration between pizza and Diresta. (Pizesta) :D
it's a putain d'outil ce truc! mdrr tu m'as tué avec ton vieil accent de chez nous :D
It was a pleasure to hear your french accent. It's a putain d'outil mec, loooool
a nice collaboration, I want to see more of this

+James Holman Great news!! Thank you for your support!!

Agree, great series
Best vlogs of RUclips. Screw all these "vloggers" that are basically just showing off shit. Keep it up jimmy. You give me hope for vlogs.
You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge and creativity!! Thank you for sharing some with us!!
Wonderful Jimmy. I enjoyed every minute of it. Your students are lucky to have such a teacher as you. Thank you for passing on your knowledge and experience.
Really enjoyed the clips from you class. The peanuts container was great!
I don't watch a whole lot of videos these days, but you're my go to source of inspiration. I love your approach and ability to keep everything fun & entertaining.
so nice to have regular videos like this to fill the gaps between builds, keep it up !
Quel plaisir d'entendre parler Français chez Jimmy
Big up from Paris buddy

Neil George thank you brother!

Gotta order an original Diresta ice pick.
You are probably making mine right now...
Your channel is my favorite.
Thanks Jimmy.
I'm still trying to figure out an excuse to buy one. Because I will probably never use an ice pick. But I need one xD
I hear you Luca.
No real excuse other then supporting one of my favorite makers,
You get one, I assure you, you'll find reasons to use it. :)

Youre an animal man. I struggle to get 1 video a week and youre doing 3. Love it!
busy busy, awesome!
Shit, I'd eat Diresta brand pizza, and I'd cut it with a Diresta brand pizza cutter, then I'd eat it on my Diresta brand plates, while sitting on my Direstra brand chair at my Direstra brand table. Heck, I might even get a Direstra brand house and car!
aethertech All those Blue Norwegian house furniture stores.... With Direct on the front... who needs Idea xD
diresta loves his name. he puts that shit on everything
Ikea is from sweden
RumpLeINtiLINsKinnIN he is his own brand, he paints his tools white with his name in black to make it clear who he represents ☺
gotcha. he represents himself :'
I now see that you work with guys with different backgrounds (chefs, business men). Maybe it is time to meet! I am an orthopaedic surgeon and a maker myself.

Yes!! jimmydiresta@mac.com !!
In terms of high-end French Sweets and Pastries, Ladurée in SoHo would likely fit the bill! Thanks for including the student packaging projects, was cool to see that.
That pizza cutting tool almost looks like the Mezzaluna (italian half moon knife)
Monsieur PussyCat i knew that bcs i watche shokugeki...
Oh you too?
ye true xD
Yeah...just a little bigger than mezzaluna :)
Thanks for sharing, Jimmy! I watch with my kids and I'm pretty sure I learn something new with each video. Very inspiring stuff!
Hi Jimmy. Still loving the vlogs, it's really cool to see some of your students work. keep em coming!
Thanks for hanging out with me this morning! I love the VLOG
Jimmy thanks for taking us along on the ride... Always a pleasure and fun to watch. Keep it up.

diamondperidot thank you !!!
Alex's face says it all when you handed him the pizza cutter. Too cool brother.
You know, I felt a bit uneasy about this unusual style, but I've grown to like these videos just as much, as the "No talking fast forward" ones.
Loving these vlogs, Jimmy.
Thanks for doing them!
such a huge fan. always looking forward to the next video. thank you
Great vlog! Keep em coming! Nice to see what the kiddos are up to.
I'm really digging the way you vlog! You really let the content speak, instead of being all flashy and annoying. Keep up the great stuff!
Nice to see Dave back in the shop. He was missed!
I love seeing the student work, you can really tell you're getting as much out of the experience as they are, very cool stuff to see. Thanks for sharing Jimmy.

lmfaooo the elephant box 😂😂😂😂 🐘 ..I'm Dead

So cool!!! Love these vlogs, I'm super stoked you decided to roll with em!
Great one Jimmy! Already waiting for the next one.
I just made a mini zine portfolio in class today. They turned out so well.
I'm from Brazil, I love your videos, your creativity and your talent.

This is an awesome style vlog update. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate this kind of videos, keep going Jimmy!
loving these vlogs jimmy. format is perfect. keep up the good work
Good stuff Jimmy, Can't wait to see the other projects. Thanks Bro
Jimmy, every video from you makes my day. thanks!
I never thought of you like a teacher, just more of an interested fella that's comfortable explaining what he's doing... but I guess that's essentially a teacher.
Awesome! I cracked up at the sped up dialogues though XD those were hilarious! But as always, you're full of ideas and I love watching your videos!
That stand looks real interesting, perhaps not for my bandsaw (600-800kg I dunno exactly) but perhaps for my jointer and table saw.
10:22 That disappointment in Jimmy's voice lmao
The elephant box for the peanuts is great!
Loving the vlogs! Can't wait to see all the new videos you have coming.
Yes Jimmy, you do inspire. Thanks for keeping it organic. Rock on, teacher!
everytime i think u did the coolest video ever,you come out with a better one! thanks for sharing brother!
Wow, looks like you've been busy. Enjoy these videos so much. Thank you, Jimmy.
Cool to see you worked with FrenchGuyCooking. I watch his videos too, so it's always surprising to see two people from different fields collaborate.
I have no idea how you do it man!!! You must drink coffee by the gallons!!! Loved this update video!!! Was cracking up at the end! 👊🏻
All so good. This vlog is great value. Thank you Jimmy.
This guy is great he has literally taken the ball and ran with it. His channel is growing like mad
Awesome update Jimmy. I really enjoy these. Keep it up man!
My two favourite RUclipsrs! Awesome!

(in my best French voice).." Aaah wee wee! zee' pizah' taste like zee' double u Dee fortee'..and zee' Rust!!!).. LOL! Much Love Brother! Have A Super Week!..... Gus
It's funny to see a collab between you and Alex, I watch both of your channel and I never thought of that happening.
I'm digging the vlog style behind the scenes stuff. Keep up the fine work
Awesome build. Showed my kids the elephant package. That student has some talent.
the food safe and sweets part literally had me laughing out loud.
Wonderful! I now have a use for two of my garage sale hand saws!
Brilliant, Jimmy! "Do you make sweets?" Hahhahaha
I enjoy these short vids.
By that I mean the vlog style multi builds. For those with no snapchat it keeps us in the direstasphere

I love the 8 page book. I just made one for my 6yo girl, she was very impressed (as she loves making books to write stories in!)
Had to go back and watch this after you talked about it on making it. So much fun! 😂👍😍
loving these vlogs, great to see what's going on behind the videos
Nice vid! Love the student projects. I used your 8 page fold method for a little portfolio handout for our company at a trade show last year. It was a hit. Project builds on every page and a big map to local attractions on the back when you unfold it.

this was a good video Jimmy! I enjoyed the combination of things and people in it, awesome!
You're a great teacher. Loved the peanuts package, still cracking up.
Great work inspiring those kids! Can't wait to see the tool base plans.
