Whether the creation is simple or complicated there will always be something smart in your videos to be amazed with. Greetings From Greece Jimmy! Keep up the good work!
That is so cool. I could see that being used for hobbies and things with small parts. Maybe for kids arts and crafts or Lego builds that are not finished. You can even add little latches so they can be locked shut and nothing spills should it topple over.
I like how Jimmy always walks the extra mile, when making things. You can cut so many corners and make usable shop boxes much quicker, but without the wow factor.
Oh man, this is exactly what I've been thinking about making for my classroom but I have been tying myself in knots trying to figure how to make them stackable. This is way easier than all the overly complicated solutions I came up with. Thank you!
The saw stop is badass. Changed the construction biz forever without a doubt. My step dad builds and teaches seminars on framework (anything from picture frames to huge mural frames and he recently got one and only has one complaint: his has triggered and stopped the saw on two occasions just from the electricity in the air when cutting wood with gold leaf in it and other metallic properties imbedded in the wood. Kinda crazy. Anyways, love the vids jimmy, thanks for posting! -Shane
jimmydiresta accidents happen when we least expect them to. Which leads me to believe that lack of expectation may be a factor too. Have you had a braking event on your Saw Stop yet? I've seen it demonstrated in videos and I think today it'd likely give me a heart attack.
Jimmy, you should build a cool mobile tool stand for your planer that could be adapted for other tools! I need to build a table saw base to push mine around my shop and I just know you'd think of some really cool features!
Between commenting on your Instagram post and hoping for a RUclips movie and getting it in two hours that's just called luck! Great boxes and neat trick with the half sunken bottom making them stackable. Thanks for teaching me yet again Jimmy.
i am looking at this and I can hear the story unfold... David could you make few of those ice picks... there somewhere in a box with diresta on it....great build!
Awesome end result, and I love how you show us not just "show pieces", but also practical stuff that would help a lot of makers in their own workshop. One question though: with the box bottoms, wouldn't a tiny radius on the plywood help to prevent them from splintering as you stack, unstack and restack them over the next 20 years?
Good work, Jimmy!! I should have bought that dang jig at the show....now I'm kicking myself in the backside because I didn't. Might have to trek over the the Cinci WIA show in September and pick one up.
Nice storage solutions for your awesome ice pic production line... Hopefully these babies won't be out of stock for too much longer I need to get my hands on one! # Made In America ! # DiRestsa!
I quite like these. Would be handy to store all the small parts for one project together. Probably would want a matching lid though, to keep the dust out of the top one. Also, that dovetail jig looks great. Faster and easier than farting around with box joints too.
+Mooncabbage Box joints would be even quicker, you can cut two corners at once if you want. I'm not sure what farting around you're referring to? But dovetails are definitely cooler :D
Seems like it would be faster to cut three tails with a router than arsing around cutting the 8 million little fingers people seem to do for box joints. Also it seems like atleast for cutting the tails, you could cut two pieces at once with the dovetail jig.
If you setup dado blades rather than just using a regular blade you don't need to do a billion cuts :D It's just something like 10-15 cuts per piece per corner. Depending on the size of the finger and piece.
Great video Jimmy, and all the time I wast stressing over why you weren't making box joints! I really like the stacking feature. I was wondering out loud "what did he do that for?" when you stacked the boxes. Keep up with the vids, the fast timing is really great for covering every detail quickly, I enjoy that format immensely. Cheers, Howie
I actually went to North America to buy myself a jig similar to this one (I live in Sweden). Still, I have no idea how to use it. I watched this video like a million times but still can't understand how to set it up to make the dovetailes align perfect. Is there someone out there who'd like to help a Swedish dude out? Would be much appreciated since my jig won't be used otherwise. Thanks guys and thanks Jimmy for keeping it real!
Jimmy, can you explain the bottoms? It seems that they are just receding butt joints with glue. Strong enough? Your custom domino thing would be perfect in this application. Another great video. Thanks
The pins and tails are matching. He just drew two lines (visible in multiple shots) the width of the board on both sides of the jig. Align the board with the lines and they match up perfectly. On his Instagram post he said setting it up was a bit of a hassle, but once that's done... damn this goes fast!
Can you please do a video explaining the dove tail jig more in depth? Seems like black magic and sorcery to me. Also are those clampy thingies included in the Amazon link? Love your videos!
I've watched dozens of diresta videos since my son first showed me the brownstone bird house. How do people muster the guts to give him a thumbs down? He hasn't asked me for a cent and ...fuck it. Haters gonna hate. Thanks Jimmy. Make another batch of ice pick man. I' d love to send you some cash.
Butbutbutbutbutbutbut he paints his name on everything! his videos are too long! his videos are too short! holy shit, he almost cut his eyeball off with the ! he speeds up the video so we can't see all the stuff he messed up! he shows too much boring stuff in slow motion! Hes a corporate shill for ! What a total hack! Keep making awesome shit Jimmy, love your content (learned a few tricks from you along the way)!
It's a nice job. Seems odd, though, to go to the trouble to dovetail the sides and then the bottoms are just popped in place, nailed, glued. Why not join them into place? Rabbet or otherwise.
Tite bond III is your friend for outside projects dealing with moisture. Tite bond II for inside the shop. I made up some 12 x 18 x 24 boxes for storage 20 years ago. Some have 80# worth of stuff in them, but small brad nails were used just to hold alignment when glue sets.
Modern yellow wood glue is considered, "water resistant". I have yet to see heat affect it either. You can use the rule that the glue will be stronger than the wood, as long as the joint is a proper fit.
The router/template method is fast. With the CNC you can make a half blind finger joint (hiding the rounded end of the slot , or use a 1/8" router bit with a small dog bone). I set up my homebuilt CNC so I can cut the ends out, but just time to set board, and hit go.... not much faster than his router skills. Limited time in the shop these days (Parkinson's sucks) but if you want a demo just let me know and I'll film that as I need to make up some more storage/shelves one of these days.
Now we know where you keep da'resta your stuff :) (sorry). Love your builds man. Always so clean and professional looking - no matter how hard I try, anything I make from wood always looks like the birdhouse I made in grade 5.
Whether the creation is simple or complicated there will always be something smart in your videos to be amazed with. Greetings From Greece Jimmy! Keep up the good work!
Slicker the snot on a doorknob. I love the simplicity and usefulness! Thanks for the inspiration!
Very nice, love the idea of the base sticking out to lock into the next box, that is so clever. Loving my ice pick I purchased off you by the way.
Thank you !!!
bad ass as always. Stackable is a huge add on. Very cool
Those are some proper quality boxes! They will probably outlive mr Diresta himself!
Nice Job Jimmy. That Jig can be tricky but you have made it look easy.
That is so cool. I could see that being used for hobbies and things with small parts. Maybe for kids arts and crafts or Lego builds that are not finished. You can even add little latches so they can be locked shut and nothing spills should it topple over.

Wow! Those pieces have a nicer bed than most people get to sleep in! Thank you for your time and sharing. Excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you brother
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new, love your work.
Lovely & practical to be so organised: Makes work so much faster & pleasurable when you can easily find what you want
Really nice looking. Jimmy's videos are extremely relaxing to watch. And full of useful ideas.
great project! love the idea with the bottom sticking out for stacking.
Too cool Jimmy, I've always wondered if dovetail jigs were worth it but you make it look so effortless.
+Josh Joyce yeah I have one and for the life of me I've never figured it out.

Kinda crazy. Anyways, love the vids jimmy, thanks for posting!
-Shane
+anaya51 kind of crazy when you figure a trigger event blows over one hundred dollars.
+Paul Frederick one finger 15,000
jimmydiresta
I still have all of mine, and at this point I'm close to done with them all anyways.
+Paul Frederick got cut after 25 years on same saw.

I bought that same dovetail jig at the Atlanta woodworker show. I hope to try it this weekend.
Jimmy, you should build a cool mobile tool stand for your planer that could be adapted for other tools! I need to build a table saw base to push mine around my shop and I just know you'd think of some really cool features!
Really nice, kind of reminds me of those plastic beverage bins the airlines use in the galleys
Between commenting on your Instagram post and hoping for a RUclips movie and getting it in two hours that's just called luck!
Great boxes and neat trick with the half sunken bottom making them stackable. Thanks for teaching me yet again Jimmy.
Ahhhh, a router jig! That first fit in the video is great!
Thanks Jimmy, I was just given the Lee Valley Economy Dovetail Jig today and really had no idea how to use it. Great timing!!!
Presentation is everything. Very cool Jimmy!
Awesome dovetailing jig!
i am looking at this and I can hear the story unfold... David could you make few of those ice picks... there somewhere in a box with diresta on it....great build!
was trying to figure out why you left the bottom proud, the stacking feature sets these apart!
My exact thoughts.
+mike gager same here
Very nice! A lot of work.
My brother just came up to me and complained that I was watching a video about annoying noises.
I'll be sure to sub.
1007yes once I was watching some video and my mom turned on my Bluetooth speaker and my device was on full volume and you can guess what happened next
Awesome end result, and I love how you show us not just "show pieces", but also practical stuff that would help a lot of makers in their own workshop. One question though: with the box bottoms, wouldn't a tiny radius on the plywood help to prevent them from splintering as you stack, unstack and restack them over the next 20 years?
Good work, Jimmy!! I should have bought that dang jig at the show....now I'm kicking myself in the backside because I didn't. Might have to trek over the the Cinci WIA show in September and pick one up.
awesome as always. nice way to make the boxes stackable. heard you talking about that jig on the podcast - have to get one now!
Had to watch this again, MAN those are gorgeous!
JIMMY.ANOTHER GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent, I love how you made them stackable.
Not just another box video. Interesting spin on something useful!
Love the boxes, that dovetail jig is awesome!
Always awesome Jimmy. I like the inset lettering, looks great!
That's a pretty cool project! Awesome idea Jimmy!!!
Very nice. the bottom sticking out was clever
"Why is it not flush with the bottom, what are the shims for? But why does it OHHH, THEY NEST TOGETHER!!"
Damn in. Got me again.
Nice! One more step toward ice pick automation.
Haha yes!
Nice storage solutions for your awesome ice pic production line... Hopefully these babies won't be out of stock for too much longer I need to get my hands on one! # Made In America ! # DiRestsa!
Great job and clever build. they look excellent!
Nice work jimmy
Amazing Work As Always Jimmy!!
Make; We need more Jimmy DiResta!
that router jig looks amazing

It's just something like 10-15 cuts per piece per corner. Depending on the size of the finger and piece.
My reference for box joints are people like Matthias Wandel. I don't use machinery for joinery, just for stock prep.
Ah ok.
outstanding like that they stack quick and dirty project bravo
Awesome Jimmy!
smart and simple design! I like this.
I want a shop box. You're the bestest Jimmy.😁
AWSOME! i love DIRESTA videos!
Very cool Jimmy
Nice work Jimmy!
Great video Jimmy, and all the time I wast stressing over why you weren't making box joints! I really like the stacking feature. I was wondering out loud "what did he do that for?" when you stacked the boxes.

great job man I need a dove tail jig like you have
Jimmy, you are an inspiration! I can only hope you don't mind that I'm going to follow your lead (i.e. copy everything you do).
Great job Jimmy!
D I R E S T A...What else?
Excellent!!!
Nice Jimmy!
Jimmy, can you explain the bottoms? It seems that they are just receding butt joints with glue. Strong enough? Your custom domino thing would be perfect in this application. Another great video. Thanks
Love the stacking feature!
wow trim/laminate style routers can do dovetails? dope
Jimmy, how did you set up your dovetail jig, how did you
reference the tails to the pins? Great. Work
The pins and tails are matching. He just drew two lines (visible in multiple shots) the width of the board on both sides of the jig. Align the board with the lines and they match up perfectly.
On his Instagram post he said setting it up was a bit of a hassle, but once that's done... damn this goes fast!
I'm liking that jig.
Bonjour Jimmy, pourrais tu me dires la marque de ta defonceuse à commande numérique.
Merci pour toute tes réalisations.
I love how they stack!!
tell me please what is the name of the device with clamps?
not sure if it came with the CNC but if not where did you find the brush that surrounded the bit?
Are the bottoms just glued and press fit in? Or did you tack them from the sides to add more support?
Beautifull made.
Nice and simple.
Thx for sharing.
Regards.
DIRESTA! Te superas en cada episodio !!!
Hi jimmy, where did you bought that dove tail jig? and the bit for the router?
Well done. I want to look into that jig
Me too
+Kaged Creations $160 .... Yikes.
HugTheBear55 maybe one day haha or maybe I make a wooden clone.
hi Do you have a vid on making that dovetail jig Thanks
Could you use the CNC to emulate the dovetail jig?
Nice work DIRESTA DIRESTA DIRESTA DIRESTA! Real makers and self employed people get the branding. Keep it up!
Hahah thank you !
THAT... was amazing.
Can you please do a video explaining the dove tail jig more in depth? Seems like black magic and sorcery to me. Also are those clampy thingies included in the Amazon link? Love your videos!
I love these videos from DiResta, but I really wish there was some commentary on the process.
Awesome. can't wait to get my 'pick!
You're the best.....all is well done
very practical... good stuff jimmy
Hey Jimmy, where can I get me one of them box joint jig's?
I've watched dozens of diresta videos since my son first showed me the brownstone bird house. How do people muster the guts to give him a thumbs down? He hasn't asked me for a cent and ...fuck it. Haters gonna hate. Thanks Jimmy. Make another batch of ice pick man. I' d love to send you some cash.

Keep making awesome shit Jimmy, love your content (learned a few tricks from you along the way)!
Jak zwykle świetny pomysł i wykonanie.
Handsome boxes and well built!

It's a nice job. Seems odd, though, to go to the trouble to dovetail the sides and then the bottoms are just popped in place, nailed, glued. Why not join them into place? Rabbet or otherwise.
I wonder, is the glue alone enough to keep the bottom in place and holding up all the weight?
Glue is pretty darn strong. Cut a 1 inch wood shaft in half and glue it back together. Good luck PULLING not bending it apart agin.
Yeh phoenix you aren't wrong. But Glue is not tolerance to moisture and heat, thats my concern. And how, it's a beautiful build.
Tite bond III is your friend for outside projects dealing with moisture. Tite bond II for inside the shop. I made up some 12 x 18 x 24 boxes for storage 20 years ago. Some have 80# worth of stuff in them, but small brad nails were used just to hold alignment when glue sets.
Modern yellow wood glue is considered, "water resistant". I have yet to see heat affect it either. You can use the rule that the glue will be stronger than the wood, as long as the joint is a proper fit.
What dovetail jig is that? Killer work as usual.
I wonder if we can cut the dovetail or finger joint with the cnc and clean it up wiht chisel
The router/template method is fast. With the CNC you can make a half blind finger joint (hiding the rounded end of the slot , or use a 1/8" router bit with a small dog bone). I set up my homebuilt CNC so I can cut the ends out, but just time to set board, and hit go.... not much faster than his router skills. Limited time in the shop these days (Parkinson's sucks) but if you want a demo just let me know and I'll film that as I need to make up some more storage/shelves one of these days.
I wonder if we can make that dovetail jig. I have the other style and I hate it.
Now we know where you keep da'resta your stuff :) (sorry). Love your builds man. Always so clean and professional looking - no matter how hard I try, anything I make from wood always looks like the birdhouse I made in grade 5.
Wow, what a sweet simple little dovetail jig ! Let's just see how much and oh my god I'm not paying that.
And is there any way I can be sure to get one?
How can I get that dove tail gig you used to make the joinery.... please let me know I really wanna get me one
Jimmy, why is the Dovetail jig not painted white?
God Bless my friend.
WOW wow wow. wait one second what is that thing at 1:22. I need that
+Jake Abel A dovetail jig.
Tjita1
Thanks.
+Jake Abel the link for that is actually in the video description
When are more ice picks coming?
