So you don't use gorilla glue 😂
I'm glad to see that this company can still exist in this age of mass-produced tables.
I think I need a rustic Diresta pool table in my house! Who needs a dining room anyway? 😄
Unfortunately I'd need a new house to fit that table in 😢
My father built 4 tables based on the Brunswick medalist table. He refurbished his first one and then built 2 walnet tables and his final creation was made from Brazillian Rosewood. Thanks for documenting your construction. It brought me back to my childhood and fond memories of my gifted father. Amazing job. Thank you.
What an impressive and incredible build!
🥰🥰🥰❤️🙏🏼
And with walnut, to top it off! 😉
I have been a subscriber since the beginning and to see you grow as a craftsman has been truly remarkable. I love to have watched your growth over these 12 years from your small Manhattan shop to your amazing state of the art upstate New York dream workshop. Nobody deserves it more than you. keep up the great work and thank you for teaching us and entertaining us all these years.🙏🏼
Thank you! thank you! thank you! 😊
I can make your words my words, very well said...
Same here.
I can echo those sentiments, I could not have said it better. But you can talk all day about Diresta and his supershop. But its the creativity that sets him apart.
Very cool table Jimmy! Super fun video too! :)
Thanks brother!!
Pool player for 65+ years and still enthralled with the game. EVERY game is different. Always a challenge, AND... a never ending learning experience.
"Every game is different" I've never thought of it that way, but it's the absolute truth. 👍
Recently i've been getting a lot of Efrem Reyes videos in my feed.
50 now. started with 14. there where times 6 o 7 hours of playing (hustling) wasn t that unusual. now i have my pool room at home. almost every day for an hour or two i am playing and trying to keep the feel. it is nuts how fast you lose it. never was bored on a pool table. there is always a drill so difficult that you need days or weeks to make it.
Beautiful job Jimmy . You can literally build anything it’s amazing 🤩
Years ago you showed us a tip of glueing a strip of sand paper to a board. I have since used this tip almost daily in my modest shop.
In this video you again show a tip that I will probably use often: the large sanding disk glued to a sheet of plywood.
Thanks for both of these tips and the many others you have shown over the years, and for all the amazing content you have created.
To expand on that concept,
Fabric backed abrasive sheets that tool & die shops use (+$) glued to tempered plate glass will flatten and smooth gasket surfaces of engine parts.
🤜🤛
Sensational job. Took a lot of balls to take on a project like this , can’t imagine how you felt once you saw the finished product 😁
Can’t wait to see what you have cued up next 😄 Bravo !
HEHEHE Tripple Groan 🤣
Had to have taken at least 16 balls, right?? Incredible undertaking. Not a scratch on the table, would look perfect in any kitchen. No funny business, just straight pool. Jimmy’s quite the hustler
It took exactly 15 balls to make this! :D
@@zacpruntydon’t forget the workhorse Mr Cue Ball 😄
Wow, it looks spectacular!! Awesome work. Absolutely love the metal banding
Congratulations on an amazing table. You must have felt such a sense of pride when it all came together.
Ultimately
I know I used this word too much. I was pressed for time and did this VO at 3 am. I was very tired and didn’t realize I used it so much 😅 I did edit out many of them. 💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥 I’ll retire this word for future videos 😊
@jimmydiresta So ultimately, it will be retired.
@@jimmydirestaUltimately, I don't mind. I was just giving you crap. Great build nonetheless!
@@jimmydiresta Seems to be the right about of Ultimately for the Ultimate pool table.
I counted 16 ... 😏
Damn this is a dream project. Coming from a family that once owned a pool hall in Romeo, Michigan and spent a lot of time learning lessons at the tables... this is beautiful! Well done!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Well done. I have rebuilt rails on an old brunswick table. As long as you got the bumper height, and pocket angles cut correctly, it will play fine. Blatt is well known across the industry.
Awesome build! Some many skills combined in an unique piece! Thanks Jimmy!
Beautiful work and craftsmanship! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
Dam amazing!!! I don't have the words. I would have had an anxiety attack working on any of that. Genius!!!!
Gorgeous! I couldn’t believe the amount of work that went in to this project! Super rewarding for sure.
This is beautiful. I love the metal accents and wood treatment to refer to a barrel. Fantastic.
Amazing back history and even better the craftsmanship as usual! Genuine and honest entertainment for sure.
Looks great. Thanks for sharing your work.
Looks good Jimmy. Fantastic craftsmanship, especially for your first table. Keep it up. 👍
Great job. Love the table. Awesome to see a Company like the pool table business still around. Thanks for sharing.
Another great Diresta build! Thank you for sharing.
A beautiful table and an education in both billiard tables and efficient use of valuable wood.
Wow! Such a fantastic project, congratulations to all involved 👏
I’ve been watching you for years. You’ve been a major inspiration for me in my makers journey. This billiard table is gorgeous. I love the rustic look. Watching you guys work you make it look so easy lol. Thank you for sharing this build. You’re awesome.
Absolutely stunning! I love the rustic style that is a part of so many of your designs, and this one does not disappoint!
Fantastic job .looks awesome!
Fantastic project! A project that I always wanted to build, but sadly, I never did. Now at age 75, it is well past my capabilities. Congratulations on the obviously very successful build!
Awesome build ! Pure craftsmanship.
I loved this build! So many great little tricks throughout this video! Thank you!
Absolutely FANTASTIC like all other builds!!
Pleasure to watch for sure!! You never cease to amaze me. Fearless! Huge undertaking, but you are Jimmy Diresta!
Two things i love...woodworking and shooting pool! Ok three things...and a cool guy to do either with! You rock, Jimmy!
Wow, what a great build. It is 100% you Jimmy, enjoy many years of enjoyment with it
Great project! Looks like a ton of work, too. Now you have another large flat surface in the workshop! Thumbs up and thanks for posting.
Such a cool build! A great process and thank you for showing us all the details! Congratulations on the completion
Love watching you build, Jimmy. Speechless!
Ultimate work, just awesome!
Truly fantastic project, fits your creative style with professional results.
What a brilliant build. That twisting rope to bring it into square is one of the reasons I love this channel, I would not have thought about that!!
Love the steel surround as well
Absolutely amazing beautiful craftsmanship! You make everything look so easy even though it’s not. I guess that is a true sign of a true master. I’m always looking for a new video to drop. Always entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing your skills!
What a beautiful piece! I learned a ton about the construction from this. Thanks, Jimmy!
Incredible...amazing build to see! Thanks Jimmy...awesome pool table!
That really looks fantastic. Love the metal barrel wrapping.
Absolutely Fantastic! As always I picked up some ideas and short cuts. Thanks Jimmy!
Jimmy you always amaze us with your skills in building, restoring, upgrading, etc.
I admire you very much, a big hug from Chihuahua, México.
My first job in high school was with a pool table company. The bees wax and felt were always the most satisfying part. We had to use spray adhesive to attach the felt to the slate, since we didn’t have the poplar base, but man that would have been awesome. Thank you for the video!
Absolutely amazing Jimmy the table came out beautiful love the look of the wood and steel
Very well done making!
An amazing build and a great partnership! Beautiful table!
That is a gorgeous looking pool table - love the aesthetic of it compared to the fancy carved ones and the rough bandsaw strips did work out really well. I could almost imagine this table having been made by a barrel maker or train coachworker in his spare time as old craftsmen used to do with offcuts - it really has that sort of "old steam rail" sort of vibe.
Amazing, always impressed by your creativity!
Amazing. I had no clue about how these tables are assembled. Thanks a lot Jimmy, this is a masterpiece.
This was awesome.. super entertaining and it was a pleasure to watch Jeff work.. so many specific trades that you don’t think about until it’s presented to you. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment, congrats on the 12 years!
Go Cuse!
Beautiful table and I think your awesome in what you do! Thanks Jimmy.
fascinating. I love seeing niche skills like this. Thanks Jimmy for the great video as always and the interview at the end. Totally enthralling!
This looks amazing! Love the details that you put into this.
Wow, what a challenging undertaking! And you nailed it! It's a beautiful pool table! I never realized how many components go into one! The legs themselves are a work of art! It may have taken a while but SO worth it! Won't this be in the way in the way in the shop? Amazing how Blatt Billiards have survived 100 years in this business! Congrats on 100 years!
40min of pure pleasure. Thank you !
What an absolutely amazing build!!!!!
So uplifting, inspiring & motivating. Such beautiful green flatness, corralled by stunning hard wood veneers & strong steel all fettled with love. Such elegance, beauty & presence. Thank you for sharing!
very well done Jimmy!!!

Wow, what a build!! ❤
Wow,wow,wow
Absolutely gorgeous,timeless table
Priceless my friend 🧡
Thanks for sharing 👍
You absolutely killed it Jimmy! As an avid pool player I’ve been dying to see this video and the table turned out amazing. I’ve helped move and reassemble a pool table ages ago and it’s so fun to see all those components explained again in this movie. Keep up the good work bud!
Ok. Not totally speechless. Love the steel with the wood. Classic!
Beautiful work, I love the combo of wood and steel and the rivits for the points was an awesome idea.
Gorgeous table, awesome work as always.
Hi Jimmy. This reminds me of the pool table you and your brother built on your old TV show, many years ago. This one is obviously superior in every way but I couldn't help thinking of that old one. This one seems to be built like a tank!
He has another show? Could you please tell me the name?
I was referring to a TV series that Jimmy and his brother John used to have.@@fdort3971
damn, what an undertaking
looks awesome!
Wow very precise and perfect.. that tables a keeper.
great build, great video, great pace
Nice work! The rustic wood and metal design is classic DiResta.. Awesome build! Some many skills combined in an unique piece! Thanks Jimmy!.
Wow!!!
What a amazing job you did!!!
Great video!!!
So cool!! Beautiful work!!
probably one of my fav videos. wow thats impressive.
I always learn something watching your videos, even if the project is one that I'm unlikely to duplicate. This time, it was a couple of new to me clamping tricks. And of course, what a gorgeous piece you made - congratulations, and thanks for the inspiration!
Wow Jimmy!! This is incredible!!!
One of my favorite videos! So much fun!😊
Proud to be your fan for so many years (12 actually), you’ve been the first channel I subscribed on YT, and I’ll be always following you. Love from Italy Jimmy!
