"Make it forward" comes to mind when I see your generosity for sharing your knowledge and viewership with the broader community of makers and RUclipsrs. Thanks again.
I love the idea of dying wood black underneath the paint! I'm in school to become a machinist and we have a class dedicated to learning CNC lathes and mills. We cover all the material for the first two years of apprenticeship and half our time is spent in an awesome shop space. It's super rad and I get to make some really cool projects. I'm loving it.
John is awesome, his facility and what he has worked to build are a great inspiration for many of us. His instructors are the best in the biz, great to learn from!
I gotta tell you, Jimmy - I'm loving these vlogs. Thanks for keeping up with them. I know it can get hectic and they take time away from your projects and commitments, but I do appreciate you taking that time to keep posting them. You and that Tormach are going to be one beast of a combination. I can't wait to see what you do with it. Peace to you and yours!
The Greats are getting together! Cant wait for a colab between Mr Diresta and Mr Saunders. Your gonna be at a million subs soon Jimmy! Always on the edge of my chair when i get the notification of a new vid. Cheers Troy
NY CNC / Saunders isn't an actual machinist and makes a lot of mistakes when machining but he's very successful because of his determination, friendliness, willingness to learn etc,. There's a lesson in that! Much respect to him and Diresta. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for these vlogs. I really like hearing what you are up to. It is also nice to hear that you still have things to learn. It is far to often that people make it look looked they just know how to do everything. Thanks.
So cool. John is an awesome young man. I just hope he doesn't burn out. He really does have a full plate. I do wish him my best and good luck moving forward with your Tormach machine.
Great work Jimmy. Nice to see you learning and persisting with Fusion 360 (CAD CAM) and CNC machining. You're in good hands with John Saunders. Regards, Aaron.
Ur so close to a million subs!! I remember when I saw ur first video the gattar back maybe 3 years ago ever since then iv been inspired by every amazing piece of art u make and it because of you I became a maker love and respect thanks jimmy :)
For anyone seriously interested in learning precision machining. I recommend picking up a NIMs textbook. It has a variety of shop skills,techniques,and introduction to most of the major machinery used. NIMs for those that do not know stands for National Institute of Metalworking Skills.
The tooling is beautiful Jimmy! Last week I started giving serious thought about taking more metal machining and welding classes at the local community college.
It is really awesome that you can confront something intimidating like trying to learn something like a computer language that you need to use in order to use that machine. Personally, I know that I would see that as a brick wall and give up on it. I am more physical and find computer language and environments to be very daunting. I know that I create my own barriers due to my own anxiety.
I want to be able to get myself out there for a class some day, John seems like a very very cool dude- heck, his dog even has a bed on the production floor :) thats awesome
Awesome video Jimmy............I bet Johns class was a real eye opener for you. I went and visited him couple weeks before i went to NYC, Great guy and an Awesome shop!
great work it's amazing how you transmit your passion in a pedagogic way. excited to watch your future videos with your new machinist skill ;) Greetings from Tunisia 🇹🇳
please consider a collaboration with Colin Furze! The Brittish plumber turned mad engineer combines forces with the Yankee artist masquerading as carpenter who happens to specializes in artistic design, engineering production and marketing using any material known to man...except pre-cut timber lol
I honestly one day wish to grow my channel as expansive as some like yours. Those projects look awesome and I can only image the things you can do with the textures and parts and everything with the new information with machinist school.
grew up not to far from Zanesville, now I'm up in Cleveland OH, but would totally travel down that way for a chance to meet you and see a cool facility. Zanesville doesn't have much going for it so I'm happy to see a school like this down that way.
Hey Jimmy, the laser cut folded perforated sheet project your ftiend is doing is so inspiring! Please upload more details of the end product and how it was done. Maybe direct us to the builder
for your hard work, youtube should give you couple of DIAMOND PLAY BUTTON Even if you have not reached the 1 million subscribe, you deserve more than 1 million subscribe. Respect
You working on a project together with John maybe? Wow... you guys are awesome on your own already... I'm looking forward to see those results... best of luck to the both of you!
Really enjoy your videos I live in Zanesville and was surprised to here you were in town Jon runs a great shop so greetings from Zanesville hope you come back.
You have so many cool shops in the US like that cabela shop, man I would use all my cash in there asap! Maybe it's a good thing we don't have that here in Norway...
If I'd have known you were coming to Ohio, I would have made the trip to Zanesville to meet you! I'm up near Cleveland. Heck, I would have even taken the class too.
I'd really love to see a basic Fusion 360 tutorial on some of the stuff you've been machining/will machine, currently doing my best to learn it myself. Awesome work as always on the bed!
Hey man... I don't know if remember me, but made me a brass key for an antique lock long ago... you even made a video of it.... I don't live too far from wheeling...next time you come through to stop at Cabela's let me know and I'll buy you the burger I owe you for that key! Keep up the inspiring!
Bonus: Cabela's is also dog friendly (at least, they were as of this past summer). On those long road trips your family AND the pups can take a walk around the store.
You can't talk about Cabela's without talking about GUNS!!! They have the largest retail gun collection I've seen in any store. They also have those "curio" rooms with all the wild, rare, or expensive guns!
Can I be so forward to request you create a playlist of your vlogs? That way I could play them in a chain. Thanks love all the content and it has inspired me to make and fix stuff myself
Hopefully you will see this. The cross hatch would look cool inside a logo. Especially if you could create an image inside the cross hatch with knurling or swirls.
I Love NYC CNC! And I would frickin kill for a cnc mill like that, we built a diy waterjet that I have to fix every other day, and whenever I have to machine something its on this mill from probably the 30s thats sloppy as the college girls here in tallahassee. I would LOVE! a proper mill.

A guy with your expertise taking 3 day courses.That alone is so inspiring!!!!
Thank man, hardly a builder/maker myself but I love the videos!!!
Webgkil thank you! Alway learning !!
hey man never say sorry we all know your busy and we appreciate all videos we all have life cheers and be safe
Pascal Surprenant thank you b
It's so nice that you went to NYC CNC, I started follow John and you almost 3 years now. I'm looking forward for your video with him
I'm starting to think that not having a clue is the magical headspace for creativity. Thanks for putting yourself out there, Jimmy
I gotta tell you, Jimmy - I'm loving these vlogs. Thanks for keeping up with them.

Yes! I'm definitely stoked for more collabs with NYC CNC. Honest business, awesome content every time, and a stand-up guy all around.

CNC is going to open up a whole new world for you, you will be able to make anything.
John is the man, such a nice guy and good person. Nice work as always Jimmy!

I am glad I got to met you last year Jimmy. You're just even nicer IRL than you seem to be in your vids 😱
Great work Jimmy. Nice to see you learning and persisting with Fusion 360 (CAD CAM) and CNC machining. You're in good hands with John Saunders. Regards, Aaron.
Waelders channel is awesome!! I do miss the old David and Jimmy videos... two of my favourites!
Ur so close to a million subs!! I remember when I saw ur first video the gattar back maybe 3 years ago ever since then iv been inspired by every amazing piece of art u make and it because of you I became a maker love and respect thanks jimmy :)
Looks like your about to hit that 1 million subscribers soon...only 100,000 to go and some change....keep on rockin
Good to see you open to continue learning, there's always something new.

So glad you met up with John. He's a great guy!

Great video Jimmy, looking forward to more machining videos!
I learned more from you in 10 miniutes than I could have learned from 10'000 tutors in an average lifetime
That's awesome I'm glad you went to the class alot of people are intimidated by CNC and need a confidence boost.
AWESOME !!! DiResta & NYCNC together, !!!! Love it
Lovely to see 21st century machining, my budget has me in earlier centuries, so I got to time travel to the future & it has potential
That's great I really enjoy John @NYC CNC. Sweet looking handle. That ball end mill leaves a interesting texture.

I hear exactly where you're coming from :/
I feel like learning it in a classroom and hands on could really help though.
Hang Out/Intern at a shop. That's the way I learned
I've been watching John even before you Jimmy. You're both great.
I can't wait to see how you implement your new found knowledge into future projects. Also... dream shop much? Holy cnc's!
Great working beside you last week. I look forward to seeing you put that 440 to good use! Email me if you need.
Thank you brother!!!
haha, I knew that you went to SMW just from the thumbnail with the handle. Awesome. John is a great teacher.
Man, I know that intimidation. I'm getting my tormach next week and I've been binge watching NYCCNC to figure out how the heck to make it work.
Caleb Kraft Come take the Hands On Tormach class Saunders Machine Works. We'll get you up to speed in 3 days :)
I really should.
I want to be able to get myself out there for a class some day, John seems like a very very cool dude- heck, his dog even has a bed on the production floor :) thats awesome
Awesome video Jimmy............I bet Johns class was a real eye opener for you. I went and visited him couple weeks before i went to NYC, Great guy and an Awesome shop!
The bed and the black-on-black oak cover look amazing!
Awesome! Keep making Jimmy!
great work it's amazing how you transmit your passion in a pedagogic way.
excited to watch your future videos with your new machinist skill ;)

Very Cool Jimmy... I think thats what is all about ...Just keep on learning new things. Thanks

I'm not a fan of vlogs in general, but for some reason your's really interest me, Jimmy. Good work.
So interesting seeing the learning process with the cnc type machines. love ya buddy!
Hey Jimmy, the laser cut folded perforated sheet project your ftiend is doing is so inspiring! Please upload more details of the end product and how it was done. Maybe direct us to the builder
Thanks for the video Jimmy. Glad to hear you're doing good.
Nice. And got to love Cabela's.
Glad you were able to go to that class. Great vlog as always! - Jim

Jimmy bro, love the vlog, thanks for the inspiration !
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
8:12 It is possible in Solidworks. There is an extra "Sheet Metal Tool (or Feature)" where you can bend etc.
dont you need a expansion pack for that?
I'm not sure tbh. It is included in our university-license.
You working on a project together with John maybe? Wow... you guys are awesome on your own already... I'm looking forward to see those results... best of luck to the both of you!
great vlog. keep em coming please sir!
Fantastic that you are continuing to build your skill set
I wish I new you were stopping at Cabelas. I live 10 minutes away. It's a great store.
hi jimmy my name is gorge i am from greece and i see almost all your video keep going you are amazing.many ideas well done
these videos are always my favorite to watch. love your videos jimmy
Really enjoy your videos I live in Zanesville and was surprised to here you were in town Jon runs a great shop so greetings from Zanesville hope you come back.
👍👍👍👍👍I just repurpose a dresser into a credenza and did the same type of black staining methods you just described on your tables. FINS UP 👍 👍 👍 👌
You have so many cool shops in the US like that cabela shop, man I would use all my cash in there asap!
Maybe it's a good thing we don't have that here in Norway...
You have to know by now, but these Vlogs are excellent.
Loved the bed BTW :-)
Loved it too.....and whispered "bearded dragon" twice.....
If I'd have known you were coming to Ohio, I would have made the trip to Zanesville to meet you! I'm up near Cleveland. Heck, I would have even taken the class too.
I'd really love to see a basic Fusion 360 tutorial on some of the stuff you've been machining/will machine, currently doing my best to learn it myself.
Awesome work as always on the bed!
Thomas The Fap Engine Check the NYC CNC channel. John has a pile of basic Fusion stuff for free
Rick Measham thanks very much!
Love this vids, Jimbo. And yah, I'm a Cabela's junky too! :)
I used to live in the Zanesville area. Pretty sure that place didn't exist before I moved. Cool that it's there now though.
Thank you for sharing your video, your thoughts and ideas
i love it i have make on the brain this channel is like my drug lol . thank you Mr DiResta
Now you mentioned a collaboration with NYCCNC, I'm really waiting for that one. Kip on milling
Thanks Jimmy, I always enjoy these
I cant wait what your going to make in the future with your new tormac machine.
ur in my opinion 1 true professional in any language
You need to use the Tormach to mill some nice bedknobs for that bed you just made. :)
Thanks for sharing Jimmy, Loved the video...
Jim, if you like cabelas, you'd love Smoky Mountain Knife Works in pigeon forge Tennessee..Largest knife store in the history of the world!
Thanks jimmy! Happy to see your well.
Love these vlogs! Thanks Jimmy!
Hey man... I don't know if remember me, but made me a brass key for an antique lock long ago... you even made a video of it.... I don't live too far from wheeling...next time you come through to stop at Cabela's let me know and I'll buy you the burger I owe you for that key! Keep up the inspiring!
Mike Sutton yes i remember you ! Tx bro
Bonus: Cabela's is also dog friendly (at least, they were as of this past summer). On those long road trips your family AND the pups can take a walk around the store.
You can't talk about Cabela's without talking about GUNS!!! They have the largest retail gun collection I've seen in any store. They also have those "curio" rooms with all the wild, rare, or expensive guns!
Always inspiring, thanks Jimmy!
Can I be so forward to request you create a playlist of your vlogs? That way I could play them in a chain. Thanks love all the content and it has inspired me to make and fix stuff myself
i miss the duo Diresta Welder :3
Oh my God... That jointer!!!
amazing how accessible machining has become
I love these videos. Keep them up jimmmy
legendarily inspirational as per always!
Loving the vlogs Jimmy!!! Inspiring!!
new subscriber :) ill spend some time watching thank you Micky UK
Awe man I would have loved to meet you, I'm in Newark, Ohio just a half hour west of Zanesville.
I was just about to ask if Jimmy watches "this old tony". Then I remembered the pink shaver...
Thank you for Making!
Hopefully you will see this. The cross hatch would look cool inside a logo. Especially if you could create an image inside the cross hatch with knurling or swirls.
look forward to seeing the new tools from you, maybe do a run of the ice picks with crosshatch on two sides as a special edition?
Jimmy, I called it!! @jimmydiresta
Hope you go to the meetup and meet Adam Booth, two of my favourite youtubers together, awesome.
i am your big fan jimmy diresta you are awesome bro 🖒👍
I Love NYC CNC!
And I would frickin kill for a cnc mill like that, we built a diy waterjet that I have to fix every other day, and whenever I have to machine something its on this mill from probably the 30s thats sloppy as the college girls here in tallahassee.
I would LOVE! a proper mill.
