Love watching you make stuff, reminds me of my childhood watching my dad make stuff in the shop. Precious moments in my life where time seemed to stand still as a project took shape one moment at a time. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!
Jimmy I can't say thank you enough, I have been watching your videos for a long time and you inspire me as well as many others. I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do and for showing that hard work and dedication will never go unseen. Keep great work 👍
All I could think is, I have got to try this. Sure I don't have the oven, the shaper, the magnetic hold down etc, but as a little project that might fail it conjures up a compelling force wanting me to try. Thanks for inspiring me!
Fantastic Jimmy! You bandsaw brass like it's soap! Just seeing you use that robust grinder belt and your buffer wheel that looks like an F150 differential is awesome!
They're pretty damn consistent. I remember being caught up about 100+ episodes in and took a break and was maybe 30 uploads behind. I haven't listened in maybe 2 years. What episode are they on now? And What's the funniest title they've used for one this year 😂?

Jimmy you are just amazing!!! There is a term that defines people like you: EXPERT; You master your work with perfection, this is for few. You are EXPERT at what you do. Long life and great health to you and your dear family. Greetings from a Brazilian fan. ❤️❤️❤️
Ring-spun yarn is made by twisting and thinning the cotton strands to make a very fine, strong, soft rope of cotton fibers. Ring-spun cotton t-shirts are more durable and last longer than their regular counterparts
Adesso ho capito Maestro Jimmy, ogni volta che ti ricrescono i peli sul braccio fai un coltello per rasarteli ... ah ah ah ah .. è sempre un godimento vederti all'opera maestro, buon weekend.
I recommend the Edge-On-Up sharpness tester. It gives a quantitative measurement of how sharp an edge is, much better than shaving your arm hair or slicing up paper. The feedback from this gadget allowed me to upgrade my sharpening skills from Mediocre to Barely Acceptable.
While I can see the value in that test for comparing blades or for quality control/batch testing in production work, real world use case tests are more relatable.
Great video as always! Ever thought about making diresta band aids? Or ink stamping diresta on you band aids… love the coffin ⚰️ handle on the crowbar knife 🔪

Great job Jimmy. I like this work 👍👍👍
Whenever you are making a knife I sit here with a huge smile...can't help it!
I can't be the only one who assumed this was going to be a knife on one end and a crowbar hook on the other, as one piece. But that would be lunacy.
you can eat the crow now
I didn't assume that was going to happen, but I hoped for it.
yup, I thought the same ... this is gonna be a cool knife ..... and then 2:15 happened. It is still a nice looking knife though.
Thought crossed my mind in the final shot, knife and crowbar together. Still could happen, there is enough crowbar left over.
I hoped it would be a crowbar-handled knife.
A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.
Wonderful job! Everything is always simple, clear and creative! Huge like!
As always the man makes it look effortless. Nice trick drilling the holes for the scales.
Jimmy I can't say thank you enough, I have been watching your videos for a long time and you inspire me as well as many others. I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do and for showing that hard work and dedication will never go unseen. Keep great work 👍
Thank you dave!! Respect ✊🏻
BEAUTIFUL KNIFE!
Thanks for showing the process.
Jimmy's girlfriend noticing the bald patch on his forearm: " You been making a knife again?" 😉
Love and respect!
You can always tell how long it's been since Jimmy made a knife by how much arm hair he has 😂 Beautiful work as always!!
After the heat treat the colour of the steel was beautiful. Great job as always.
Yeah that straw colour was perfect
THIS IS AWESOME! I love the bit of the blade that still has that rough forged look. This just sits well with me. I appreciate your art sir!
I think that is the first time I saw you wearing a Harley t-shirt in your videos! Great knife!

congratulations you are a very good teacher And everything you make is perfect I wish you always well warm regards Spyros from London!!!👍🇬🇷
You sir...are incredibly talented. Its a joy to watch you work
Well done Jimmy! That is a beautiful knife! I still say that you should be on the show "Forged In Fire"! 👍👍😉😉
You just had to egg the haters on with cutting the pepperoni.🤣🤣 Love the process! 👍👍
Awesome video Jimmy! Just listened to Making it too, still my favourite podcast every week. Much love from Ireland.
They're pretty damn consistent. I remember being caught up about 100+ episodes in and took a break and was maybe 30 uploads behind. I haven't listened in maybe 2 years. What episode are they on now? And What's the funniest title they've used for one this year 😂?
The chorizo test is the best Nice work mate
I didn't expect the 🐓 at the end!!
I am predicting a beautiful sheath video in the near future... Great video Jimmy, I like how you left a rough spot to speak to the process.
Your armhair shows how long it’s been since the last sharp instrument was made😉
Nice job Jimmy. Stay well.
You sure got some nice tools Mr. DIRESTA.

Hello Jimmy Diresta beautiful knife good job well done
That Ipe handle really finishes off the solid feel of the knife!! Great work man
Great Video , Thanks Jimmy !!
The leather handles you make are very nice too.
The knife on the end of the crowbar looked damn badass!
Awesome film. Cool push to focus Pferd shot. Wicked looking knife, incredible it came from a crowbar. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Love the little rough area right before the guard, as beautifully finished as it is that little area reminds us of where it all began.
Coolest damn crowbar I’ve ever seen!
I knew we wouldn't go a whole video without Jimmy showing us why he's the bandsaw whisperer
Very, Very, very good. Congratulations Brother. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
You turn wood into gold 💙👍🏻👍🏻
Y love your knife Jimmy!!
Nice job My Idol. Stay well. Best regards from Viet Nam !
Dope AF knife, @jimmydiresta! Now you've gotta stitch up an equally dope sheath to go with it!
Nice...outstanding...love the profile and the shape. Like they say on forged in fire..🔥
"It will kill" 🤣👍🤠💯🇺🇸🎯✌
Amazing, Jimmy... Really fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I get the feeling Jimmy makes knives when the hair on his forearm starts to grow back. This was cool.
I wish I had half the talent you do. That's a nice looking knife Jimmy.
I just love it when you post a new video! Thanks Jimmy!! And now make us a sheat for the knife 👌
Like how you painted those yellow tools white. I imagine there’s a story behind that. 😆
Nice work Jimmy. Your knifemaking skills have greatly improved since that first one. Love the 2-pc guard.
Just found your channel, I wish I had a workshop, but landlord won't let me have one. Beautiful knife you made there, well done dude.
Were so many people just use a power hammer for all the work jimmy goes at it with just a hammer for the most part. The man the legend jimmy diresta

just good old fashioned diresta magic
Nice work, Jimmy!
So nice had to watch it twice!
You are truly talented Jimmie! Keep up the great work, it inspires so many.
Nice Knife, I especially like the coffin handle
Goodness you are an artist. Thanks for sharing.

Привет Джимми. Очень красивый Боуи. У тебя все получается красиво.🤨👍

Wicked cool build!! Always love the classic. Especially that brass amd coffin handle. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The steel very very good , idea cool 💡🧞♂️, saludos from 🇦🇷 Argentina ❤️.
Seeing that Apple Watch, I couldn't even confirm this was actually Jimmy!! Great knife btw!!!
jimmys ready for forged in fire. great show
Crowbar...? Knife...?
Those are the two most beloved weapon of mine!
Amazing craftsmanship! Beautiful knife, Thanks Jimmy :)
Cheers,

Adesso ho capito Maestro Jimmy, ogni volta che ti ricrescono i peli sul braccio fai un coltello per rasarteli ... ah ah ah ah .. è sempre un godimento vederti all'opera maestro, buon weekend.
OUTSTANDING!! seriously🤗😎🤗😎
What a beaut! It's cool to see you use one of those ginormous power hammers you have. Great vid!
Great job Jimmy loving the videos.
Another cool knife
Nice work Jimmy 👌👌👌👌
next level! knife making skill +10
You always make it look so easy! But I know its just the years of experience and skill being put on display, bravo.
When you have a forge, anvils, a power hammer, a belt grinder, bandsaws, a drill press and a heat treating oven it is not too hard.
I really need the second video of the backhoe!!!
Soon ! Lots more to do
Normal people: go to store buy a knife.
Jimmy Diresta: go to stor buy a crowbar, make it a knife.
I love it.
I come to check up on your knife journey and here you are teaching me how to make a split guard with a bandsaw :p.
It looks like you need a diamond dresser for your surface grinder.
Overall nice job. It will keeeeeeel!
You saw that too?
nice work on the coffin handel bowey knive
Wow amazing job !
Very perfect your work. I always follow here from Brazil. 👏👏👏
Looking forward to the knife crowbar.
New Diresta Series..."Will it cut!" The Salami edition... looks delicious
That is a awsome Stanleyknife.
Yeah, I could make something like that too if i had some of those fancy DIRESTA stencils😜
Nice knife. Jim would be proud of you. I bet he could have used you at San Antonio!
Nice! I came from your interview with Steve on the Woodworking show (or whatever he calls it)

Now I know what to one day make with my old crowbars :)
Great video as always! Ever thought about making diresta band aids? Or ink stamping diresta on you band aids… love the coffin ⚰️ handle on the crowbar knife 🔪
the knife was very beautiful
great job as always Jimmy, he has been waiting for your autograph for years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I SOOOO wanted a burrito to get cut at the end... Alas... Thanks Jimmy!
Loved it Jimmy ! Always good to see you blacksmithing, looking forward to seeing the steam bent chair. Thank you
Now introducing a new line of tool Mashup. Crow-knife!
But...will it keel?
Nice project!
Soy un admirador de todos sus trabajos...por eso le pregunto desde ya muchas gracias...
I'll bet the warranty is voided on the crowbar when you put that thing in the furnace 😎😎
Great looking knife!
Great stuff mate 👍
