one heck of a journey. great build!
Brother!! Respect ✊🏼❤️🎄🙏🏼
Love this Jimmy. Thanks for showing us the process and the learning. I love that you are willing to talk about being scared and pushing through. A wise man once said “you go to school on the first few”. Excellent!!!
I really love these process videos. It’s great to see how you learn and pivot until you get there! Thanks for taking us on the journey!
Congrats on 2 million!🎉
The bell turned out great, looks and sounds beautiful. Can’t wait for the next bell.
thanks for existing Diresta
What a journey! I'm glad you showed and explained all the attempts along the way to the "final" product. A job well done!
I have never seen a block investment attempted that big. I think a slurry investment shell technique would be the way to go. I do a lot of investment casting, and I take the investment block to orange heat then let it col to 500 C for the pour. The manufacturers have very specific tables and instructions for the burnout (baking) stage. Great leanings and great reult as ever from Jimmy.
Thanks for letting us watch and learn with you. Watching your process is amazing.
Long live memories of those lost before us.
Thanks for sharing.
You being honest about fear and it’s role in the creation process allows others to face theirs. Every time I back away from doing something is for all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you for inspiring me to just go for it and that’s it’s ok to learn as I go. And awesome build video!! 💪
Great build Jimmy! The learning and passion to keep striving through the process is why I watch and follow you. Thanks mate!
Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I have learned a lot from you over the years. You instilled in me the need to keep going. Thanks again my friend.
What a great story Jimmy! Thanks for sharing all you went through to make this beautiful bell. You are 100% correct about that fear factor prevent us from trying new things. You always seem to press through it and are an inspiration! Nice work!
Love seeing the process of learning a new technique. I don't think I'll ever get into casting but seeing you problem solve this inspires me to keep trying new things!
Amazing job, Jimmy! You did a fantastic job and so humble. Thank you for sharing.
Great work Jimmy, a fantastic result! Thanks for showing us the process; all valuable learning!
That was very cool to see the processes you went through. I did a little casting at high school with a sand mold. Really nice to see inside the explorers club too!
What a great chronicle of not just your great casting, but how we all learn and improve our skills with every new step. A fantastic final result.
Going through all those steps makes one appreciate the final bell. A wonderful journey. Thanks for sharing. Watching your work, Jimmy, is magical!
Thank you so much for sharing the journey and everything you went through. Amazing work as always!!!! And you make all your videos informative and entertaining. Thank you!
Saw that you subbed me (thank you) so thought it'd be ok to comment here. Bells are the best. Good to see you promoting the making of bells as it is an art and science that needs to be explored with the information gained disseminated before the process goes away.
I love your videos, and especially this one, with the process, including the failures... Happy New Year....
Thank you for showing your whole learning process.
Jimmy. Thank you for your dedication to your craftsmanship, for your insatiable appetite for learning and finally thank you for sharing it all with the rest of us. I really appreciate it all.
I really appreciate your tenacity when learning something new. This is a great thing to demonstrate and it's fun to see your progress. The bell looks greatt too.
Great story & great build!
That was a ballsy job you got there, Jimmy. It felt personal when talking about the staling techniques. So recognisable. Also: I haven't had the gusto to finish it is a good way to putting it. I saw literally everything you put on youtube, but this one felt close. Thanks man.
Jimmy that was incredible ! I have so been looking forward too seeing this after hearing about it on the podcast. What a masterpiece Sir !! Very well done.
I couldn't sleep, woke up and watched your video while the clock struck midnight and I turned 53 shortly thereafter. Awesome birthday gift thanks Jimmy. Great job and way to persevere.
happy birthday mate
Thank you, much appreciated. @@tannertasman
@@DigitalSwagg peace and prosperity to you and yours :)
@@DigitalSwagg happy birthday brother 🙂
Beautiful work and thank you for sharing the entire process as it evolved.
Great job, Jimmy! Admire your tenacity, big time. Also, your comment about fear-based stalling, really resonates. Kudos and happy holidays
Fascinating process! Thanks for sharing your journey 🤘
Been looking forward to this one. Great job dude!
I really loved you showing us the whole journey. I am making some silly little game boards and messed up so many times in the process and finally got their. And that is the nature of doing stuff. I love that about you and I enjoy your channel so much!
Four times is a charm. Merry Christmas to you, your family, everyone there at Diresta and to all the subscribers. 🎅
Fearless! Great inspiration as always, Jimmy. Thanks.
Superb job Jimmy, nothing is a failure, only a learning experience. Glad you kept the first bell !
Tell the captain of the Titanic that nothing is a failure. He may beg to differ with you. That first bell is a trophy piece. You have to keep stuff like that. They have stories to tell.
Beautiful Jimmy, one of your best pieces. Happy Holidays!!! 🎄🎄🎄
What a journey and challenging work. I learned something from that too. An entertaining video documenting all the making and mistakes we learn from. Well done!
Master class stuff Jimmy!! Wow realy great casting and story behind it!! Glad you showed the process..
What an exercise in patience and tenacity! Well done Mr. Maker...the bell rings true!
Stunning work !! Love it man well done ✌
Finally! You’ve talking about this for so long! 🙌🏻
Fantastic. Love it!. It was amazing to see your process. I've also made many typographical errors that go unnoticed right up to the final touches. Nothing sinks my morale faster. ...all the work, all the artististry, all the focus on technical skills and finesse, then you find a typo. ...I feel your pain. Thanks for sharing. And yes, the fear can be crushing.
Thanks for showing all the ups and downs of the project!!
Magnificent! Art in its raw, hard & uncompromising methodology from which is born an extraordinary & fitting tribute to the remembrance of explorers who fell living their adventurous dreams. Thank you for sharing!
That third bell, it had some visual imperfections, but it had a really sweet sound.
Great story, Jimmy. I'm always inspired by your spirit of creativity, daring, and perseverance. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the process!
I like that you completed most of the bells, I'm sure it helps you learn what to do on the next one.
Thanks for showing us the complete learning experience, was interesting to watch.
Absolutely amazing journey. After hearing about this on the podcast for a few weeks, the video didn't disappoint.
That was awesome, Jimmy! Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing you having problems and finding ways through and getting the result in the end. Makes it all feel more genuine than those channels which pretend it's all successes etc. Nice one and nice bell.
Jimmy I loved this video and the journey bud. I loved the clips of the shot glasses thrown in the fire mixed with the video. Dad always loved how you did it with Spike and let our minds take a break before the next clip. Cant wait to see the next thing you cast now that you know how to make bells. Merry Christmas bud and what a very cool ceremony! -Brian
Great story, well told, a fine result after lots of difficulties. The best of youtube content. Thanks.
WOW!
That was an amazing video!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Jimmy. Great Bell. Great story. And thanks for sharing your mistakes and your learning and building process.
You just keep feeding my appetite for new skills Jimmy !! Thank you.
Your casting journey is nothing short of amazing. I myself, i formally had a family foundry business know how difficult that process actually is...to do it with basically homemade equipment is incredible. Bravo!!
Can’t believe you made a bell. You kept that one quiet!?
The anticipation has been killing me, looks great. Worth the wait.
Thanks a ton! I needed that pep talk. Fear is failure's best friend and the worst enemy of success.
Great video, I like how you showed the entire process and all the mistakes you learned from. I feel like I learned something too.
You must use Moliere's drying chart to dry the plaster mold properly. But looks cool, like flying Dachman' bell. 😊
Impressed by your enthusiasm to take on new challenges and your dedication to the goal, without succumbing to fear.
Definitely the take away for me on this project.
Amazing job!!! Your work is top notch!!
Thank you for sharing!! I am looking to meet a bell for a fire truck that my students and I are restoring in our shop class. This is a great video, will share it when we get back from winter break.
Great video! I like seeing all of the failed attempts leading to a mastery of the process!
Incredible work!!! This is truly special!
I wish I could have the patience and understanding that you provide yourself. I get super annoyed at myself for screwing up (I'm a woodworker), which doesn't do me any good. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to have your same attitude and appreciate the process of learning and screwing up and ultimately fixing the mistake.
I really enjoyed this episode. Keep it up!
The screw up aren’t really screw ups, they’re learning experiences. It what w3 have to go through to improve.
We're all our own worst critics. It's funny in the moment we can know every mistake we've made. I tell you if you make something and hate it put it away someplace. Then after you've forgotten about it look at it then. It's never as bad as you initially thought. I bet when they cast the Liberty Bell they were ticked off it cracked. Today it wouldn't be the Liberty Bell without the crack. The crack is its best side.
A labor intensive project like that can quickly break your spirit when it repeatedly doesn't cooperate. Not only did you not let it beat you, you learned from every failure and ended up with a better end result. Congrats Jimmy. Great effort. Now take that really porous brass reject and toss it in the bay somewhere near a known dive sight. :) Stay well.
Absolutely beautiful sounding and looking bell!
Amazing, Jimmy. You’re such an inspiration and so humble to show the all the learning processes. If you want a proofreader, I volunteer!
Never afraid to show a mistake, love the learning process. Great video as always Jimmy.
Brass and bronze are great. I can't think of anything else to describe them but stoic. Nice work.
I worked for a year in 1973 at a investment casting place outside of Chicago. Made artificial hip joints, knee joints, bone pins, etc. Hard, hot, dangerous work. Perfect for a 22 yo buck. The hot molds were put on a vacuum table before we filled them. Pulled the metal into all the voids.
Thank you for sharing the story and showing the failures along the way.
that was such an honest video about how you work reallly hard at your craft(s).
Persistence pays off! Nice project, Jimmy.
thank you for sharing the whole process in all honesty...
This is an awesome video. The inclusion of all the failures makes it infinitely better.
Thanks for sharing the process! I thought even the second one was awesome!
Very interesting, thank you for showing the entire process, including the failures that led to your success!
You've impacted so many people with your skill and style. What an honor for you to craft this in memorium.
Loved the process !
Thats pretty awesome. Its a cool remembrance piece.
Awesome Job as always! Keep it up!
great work and a wonderful story behind
Well done Sir, huge learning curve!
Love your videos where you talk through the process. And where you share your mistakes. Certainly makes my own mistakes far less discouraging as I'm learning new techniques. Oh - and the bell is great too :-)
Thanks for showing the full failure process. It's an important part of the journey. Cheers!
My favourite types of these videos are where we can see the learning process and the mistakes. Everyone makes them (even Jimmy!) and the most important thing is that we learn from them. Great job Jimmy now I want to make a gd bell… an excuse to buy a lathe! 👍🏼
The struggle is real.
Cool process and amazing bell! Thanks for showing us that bear: 0:23
Impressed by your concern to make it so perfect. Very few castings are perfect. Although I do suppose that many do have the correct spelling. LOL. Very nice job. Thanks for including us in the journey.
❤️❤️❤️. This is such a great video with mistakes, realism and a great story.
Jimmy, you are absolutely correct when you said you learn from your mistakes. By now my wife is tired of hearing it. I would constantly be saying to her, "I am convinced that I learn much more from a screwup than a success". But as you are, I am very persistent and will keep going until achieving the result I was looking for. I abhor failure, it just gnaws away at me and pushes me forward. It's a journey, and I wouldn't want it any other way. When I achieve my goal, it is so much more satisfying to know I got there despite some bumps along the way. Great job Jimmy and Happy New Year.
Thank you!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Talk about a learning curve, great job Jimmy, and cool is that having been asked to make something memorializing members of the Explorers Club.
What dedication for a great tribute. Congratulations.
You sir are an inspiration. Thank you for this journey. To see someone like you making mistakes and working through them is incredibly uplifting. Simply amazing. You are the GOAT.
Success is falling down seven times and getting up eight. Luck is not falling at all. You can't always count on luck though. Which is why we celebrate perseverance.
"When all else fails read the instructions!" Quote that most of us are reminded of from time to time. Great lesson in making a mold quickly and simply!
Make more bells! and bigger bells! Love it.
I enjoy the process. Showing the steps not just the perfect finish line item.
