I really enjoy your videos....I seriously have watched everyone of them. I don't understand the need to make any negative comments. It has dawned on me that so many people that comment negatively are "know it all's". For those of you who do not have anything good to say weren't you ever taught...."If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all". Jimmy Diresta doesn't need your negative or positive comments to be successful. Mr. Diresta's work speaks for itself. The dude has skills, whether its the way you would do it or not. GREAT WORK!!!!!!
jimmydiresta amazing work.. I love your videos as well. I may be dumb, but the way you attacked this chest looked really smart, actually welding in the planks looked like a smart choice, and not to obvious for me.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seems to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Diresta has the highest ratio of 'likes" to views of anybody I've seen on youtube. I get a smile very time I see a new Diresta video is available. Thanks for making and sharing and taking the extra time to make your videos so enjoyable to watch.
I hear you, it's like getting a badass Christmas present every time you see a 1 next to his name. He plays it smart with the uploads. Many popular channels saturate their feed with a video every day or two. I've had plenty of channels that I thought were awesome at first, but the content is always the same and I just get sick of it after 30 days and 50 videos.. Not Mr. Diresta, it's going on two years and I still get a lap rocket every time I see a new post. I want to be as cool as Diresta someday. Diresta, we salute you.
Brandon P Agreed some channels become stale with massive ammounts of uploads like every day or other day. however something like news or, current affairs is a good reason to upload every day.
i think they way you put your name all over is not only cool but separates you from all the ppl that fill videos with endless rambling. your videos are an awesome escape for me. as well as simple, yet amazing, inspiration. this video is no exception. well done.
I just watched an interview where Jimmy said he had zero idea of what he was going to build minutes before making this...... That is amazing... Having that design on the fly ability is something that doesn't work well for most, Jimmy has mastered it.
I just love the DiResta videos! There is something about the editing.. the use of materials .. and ofc the great work Jimmy does... this is true inspiring work KEEP IT UP!
I gotta say, Mr. DiResta, whenever I watch your videos all the crap that I've been feeling that day, no matter how bad the day was, I feel better. I feel alive and liberated. I don't know why, but there is something about watching a craftsman perform his art really really well (in this case, yourself), that makes one think "he can be good, I can be good". And then I don't feel so bad. So thanks for the vids, good sir.
When I was a kid I had a Pirate Chest aquarium and I loved it, complete with Creature From the Black Lagoon bubbling figure. This reminded me of it. Love the industrial look mixed with the old wood. Great as always Jimmy.
that is one cool little pirate's chest. I have heard about but never seen a plasma cutter being used; the melted edge gives the perfect look for the finished product. Well done!
You make me wish I'd done more with the pallets we used to throw away at my old workplace. Mostly they were junk wood but occasionally we'd get ash, maple, and oak.
We had a short guy on the job that liked to use a nibbler like you've got there, we called him "the Keebler with the neebler". Guess you had to be there
When you were done with the build I knew you were going to stash it with something. Was a pleasant touch that really made it feel like the project was done. Thanks for yet another amazing build Jimmy.
I get so freaking thrilled every time DiResta puts out a new video. This one, of course, did not disappoint. Here's to many more years of inspiring DiResta projects!
I remember in auto tech class I basically lived in that shop, using the plasma cutter to cut pretty much any design I could think of. It got to the point the teacher went and bought more scraps for me lol i don't have any tools like that of my own but man...if I had a place like that I would never leave!
Yeah, I was expecting that too. I guess detail went out the window, especially when he tac welded the frame instead of actually welding then grinding the welds smooth.
Devin Deatherage I assume you mean not-modern pirate, which means welding is out altogether. They'd have forged metal pieces and joined them with hot rivots. This entire thing is an interpretation of a pirate's chest anyway. I like it. More art than science, but still requires skill. Very cool.
Honestly bud a lot of stuff you make is true heirloom quality, thanks for the ideas and quick tips so I can eventually make my kid something memorable. Great job man keep it up
I don't how many times I have watched this video, but it never gets old and I am always inspired to try one myself. I am a wood worker and not a metal guy but one of these days I'll make one. Thanks Jimmy for all the video's, I can always find some kind of useful trick or tip that you use and I can take back to my own shop.
I'm going to be honest, you are one of the best. I cannot believe how creative you are and you do everything so well. I can't wait to get a shop of my own to try to create things like you have. Keep it up, I love all of your videos!!!
I think this video would have been better if it was a bit longer, at the end it should be you digging a hole and dropping the chest, then proceed to bury it and ending the ordeal by marking the ground with a huge X.
Thiago Roman Don't think there's a lot of weight reduction considering he had to add the wood. It's supposed to replicate a chest. Obviously they weren't made like this, they didn't have welding equipment and plasma cutters. They would just secure the wood with strips of forged metal.
@@BashenManTV Lol, so you intentionally used the wrong word to try and bait pedantic RUclips commenters into correcting you so you could get mad at them?
Finally I can steal all that change You have Collecting over the years! the big glass jug had no handle and would make me nervous walking down the steps with it. The handles will make this a lot easier for me! Seriously… Amazing, fantastic, creative, simply brilliant!
Kudos to you Jimmy, everytime I watch one of your videos it amazes me both on the content and how funny they are for a guy that doesn't talk on his videos. Keep them coming and I'll continue to like and share.
That's brilliant love the way you mix wood with metal in your projects. I come from sheet metal as a career and now into woodwork so hope I can one day mix the two.
I just mean the tools, or a piece of wood before you plain it. don't get me wrong i understand you use this for promoting your skills and products, i just think it is a little much is all
Your videos give me confidence to try things I normally wouldn't. You made this look so easy. The coin dump at the end literally made me LOL. :) Another great build, Jimmy DiResta.
It's interesting you go from metal construction to inserting wood into it, which is sort of the metal fabricators approach. Most carpenters would make a wood box and clad it with lots of metal. Both are worthy avenues to go down, of course historically no one could make a box easily this way due to the welding.
the plasma cut was a bit rough but over all really awesome and really impressive how one can do all the joining in metal and just do minimalistic wood working.. cool concept Seams like a very quick build too :)
Sometime I see you do stuff with tools that could be done better and more easily with different tools, but I don't understand the circumstances in your tool choice so I don't judge. These videos are always fun to watch.
i made parade floats for a living for many years and i had to make alot of items like this in my days i had 4 pirate ships in the fleet and i have to say you did a good job for the speed and timing adding some cut off bolts could help fire/burn some of the wood things to make it look old
Epic as usual, great use for pallet wood too. Don't see how anyone can thumbs down, but there are all kinds out there. Sure beats a 5 gallon water container for all your loose change.
I'm impressed with how skillfull you are. You are a real artist, craftsman and it's impressive how well you master all kinds of tools. I've seen many of your vidoes, and the Stormtrooper and this pirate chest are really cool. Congratulations!
An artist with amazing skills! DiResta you blow me away with every video! Love them, looking forward to the future to see what you make next! Thank you!

That is by far the coolest pirate chest I have seen. Great work.
always watched this when i was a kid, so nostalgic

Wow I have never seem welding done up close before. Majorly cool. This is the most badass chest ever.
Thank you for the positive comments. My buddy maned the Camera working out some new ideas. Xoxo
impressive project and the camera work made me feel like I was more of an active member in the project.
hey Jimmy why did you split the contacts open in the beginning?
Phoenix Wright I would guess it's to stop it pulling out
i think they way you put your name all over is not only cool but separates you from all the ppl that fill videos with endless rambling. your videos are an awesome escape for me. as well as simple, yet amazing, inspiration. this video is no exception. well done.
I still get blinded,by the welding even though it's through a screen
Especially watching it It in The dark
No you don't. It's just bright.
I just watched an interview where Jimmy said he had zero idea of what he was going to build minutes before making this...... That is amazing... Having that design on the fly ability is something that doesn't work well for most, Jimmy has mastered it.
There he is! Another awesome inspiring project!
I also find it so cool when there is the big blue flash when the two pieces are welded together. Wonderful job
Try best plans for woodworkers. WoodPrix Instructions.
Superb!
@@rhiannonangell6828 Agree!
Awesome work Jimmy. As a sheetmetal worker i was in awe about how youu went about folding the body up without a pan brake or hydraulic press. Legend.
I just love the DiResta videos!
There is something about the editing.. the use of materials
.. and ofc the great work Jimmy does... this is true inspiring work
KEEP IT UP!

this is so touching ! thank you so much !!! you made my week !! Thank you !
jimmydiresta No worries. Looking forward to the next vid. ^_^
Diresta for President.
When I was a kid I had a Pirate Chest aquarium and I loved it, complete with Creature From the Black Lagoon bubbling figure. This reminded me of it. Love the industrial look mixed with the old wood. Great as always Jimmy.
Your videos are sooooo satisfying to watch!!
Charliexoxord z3tfzvetbuzfffgfg7
This is one of the people I most admire in the entire world. Jimmy DiResta.
I want one of these! And I would hear the sound effect from The Legend of Zelda every time I opened it!
Awesome dude.
that is one cool little pirate's chest. I have heard about but never seen a plasma cutter being used; the melted edge gives the perfect look for the finished product. Well done!
I don't remember how I got here, all I know is that it was at 3:00 AM and I can't stop watching.
Hahahahahahaha me too.
Ditto
You make me wish I'd done more with the pallets we used to throw away at my old workplace. Mostly they were junk wood but occasionally we'd get ash, maple, and oak.
Speed up hammering is my favorite sound
This is by far the coolest build I have ever seen.
We had a short guy on the job that liked to use a nibbler like you've got there, we called him "the Keebler with the neebler". Guess you had to be there
Ew, nicknames. Poor guy.
When you were done with the build I knew you were going to stash it with something.
Was a pleasant touch that really made it feel like the project was done.
Thanks for yet another amazing build Jimmy.
Bad Ass!!!
Camera person did a great job also!
I get so freaking thrilled every time DiResta puts out a new video. This one, of course, did not disappoint. Here's to many more years of inspiring DiResta projects!
How todo you know how far to open the vice when you're using it to bend the metal?
I remember in auto tech class I basically lived in that shop, using the plasma cutter to cut pretty much any design I could think of. It got to the point the teacher went and bought more scraps for me lol i don't have any tools like that of my own but man...if I had a place like that I would never leave!
does anyone else look away when hes welding?
yea hhhhhh
Alllll the time
Yep..
This has to be my favorite Jimmy DiResta project so far! So much creativity, in the project itself but also the methods used... coool. Cool cool.
what about those jagged edges from the metal wholes you cut for the wood? I was expecting you to sand them down with the amount of skill you have.
Yeah, I was expecting that too. I guess detail went out the window, especially when he tac welded the frame instead of actually welding then grinding the welds smooth.
AugustoTobias its a pirate chest, not like a fancy landlubber chest! i kinda like the tougher jagged version, personally
Devin Deatherage I assume you mean not-modern pirate, which means welding is out altogether. They'd have forged metal pieces and joined them with hot rivots. This entire thing is an interpretation of a pirate's chest anyway. I like it. More art than science, but still requires skill. Very cool.
Devin Deatherage
The planks at the top of the chest in the arch looked really cool, great build!
I didn't know pirates had welding machines and plasma torches.... but that's a pretty darn cool project.
i bet the ancient aliens did :D
Honestly bud a lot of stuff you make is true heirloom quality, thanks for the ideas and quick tips so I can eventually make my kid something memorable. Great job man keep it up
awesome man!!
just amazing...
I don't how many times I have watched this video, but it never gets old and I am always inspired to try one myself. I am a wood worker and not a metal guy but one of these days I'll make one. Thanks Jimmy for all the video's, I can always find some kind of useful trick or tip that you use and I can take back to my own shop.
So sick. But I would've stained the wood and marred and scuffed I up first. To give it a richer, more antiqued and aged look.
Of all jimmys builds, this one was the one that make me start making stuff
why did he widen the electrical ports?
Probably to prevent the cord from falling out of the socket.
I just picked up a new tip from Jimmy Diresta, using a piece of scrap 3/4 plywood as a straight edge for my grinder. Brilliant.
I didn't know pirates could spot weld LOL!
I'm going to be honest, you are one of the best. I cannot believe how creative you are and you do everything so well. I can't wait to get a shop of my own to try to create things like you have. Keep it up, I love all of your videos!!!
Gaven Vicino Thank you very much
you are one bamf. keep being awesome
brother.. usted es mi inspira a trabajar cada vez mejor y con mas entusiasmo !! gracias
OMG this was Fucking Amazing !!!! And I thought working with Wood was fun, you are a Bonafide Artist ! I want a Pirate Chest !!
+Kelly Williamson make you one
Goodness, I think I've watched this video 100 times. Just love the creativity and the old-school Jimmy approach. Fantastic!
I think this video would have been better if it was a bit longer, at the end it should be you digging a hole and dropping the chest, then proceed to bury it and ending the ordeal by marking the ground with a huge X.
Knowing him, he would probably mark the ground with 'diresta' rather than an X
It would be cool if he posted the time it took for each project.
Noe Ruiz That one is easy, little less then 7 minutes and a bucket of amphetamines.
+girafmad
OMG !
Is it in real time?! I'm surprised.
I never get tired of watching. Another brilliant project
Very cool build but i wish you had finished the job, the cutouts at the end are sloppy and unsanded
It's on purpose the vault is not perfect and not sanded at all !
Pirates made it, they didn't sand evething!
If it were a pirate chest they wouldn't have cut random holes out of a perfectly good metal crate
ZanderDude Yes, they would! To reduce weight and make it easier to carry around. =)
Thiago Roman Don't think there's a lot of weight reduction considering he had to add the wood. It's supposed to replicate a chest. Obviously they weren't made like this, they didn't have welding equipment and plasma cutters. They would just secure the wood with strips of forged metal.
The still frame looked so cool, then when you started I thought it looked really stupid. I kept watching and you blew me away. That was amazing.
The welding bit gave me a seizure but great vid!
same
Yeah, it made the video pretty unwatchable. I had to keep jumping past those parts so I didn't end up with a headache.
that sounds dramatic as fk lol. its just blue pixels?
Every time I watch one of your videos I am amazed. Thank you for sharing your craft.
Watching this I've now learned the wielding is just a hot glue gun for metal.
Except that hot glue is not mechanically sound. It's like saying that welding is just like soldering.
MIG welding (not wielding ;-), yes. There are many other welding techniques.
@@BashenManTV Lol, so you intentionally used the wrong word to try and bait pedantic RUclips commenters into correcting you so you could get mad at them?
@@BashenManTV Cool man, well it's great to see how much your negative attitude has changed in those four years, you're like a new man! Good luck
Finally I can steal all that change You have Collecting over the years! the big glass jug had no handle and would make me nervous walking down the steps with it. The handles will make this a lot easier for me! Seriously… Amazing, fantastic, creative, simply brilliant!
Jimmy you are alien on earth,great work.
Kudos to you Jimmy, everytime I watch one of your videos it amazes me both on the content and how funny they are for a guy that doesn't talk on his videos.
Keep them coming and I'll continue to like and share.
real 17th century's welded pirate chest with metric screws.
Your videos are mesmerizing! I can't stop watching!
great job. pls next time note that we need welding mask to watch his videos :)
You SIR are the Bob Ross of random things from a garage! Love it!
make an awesome sword...
Tell that to AWE Me
One of your best. Really liked the padlock too.
so first make a nice strong steel box then cut holes in it and replace it with weak wood ? yeah makes sense
That's brilliant love the way you mix wood with metal in your projects. I come from sheet metal as a career and now into woodwork so hope I can one day mix the two.
you make cool stuff but can't stand how you post your name all over whatever you're making
If you go and take a close look i almost never put my name on any thing i make in the videos. Just maybe 1 in 20 times.
I just mean the tools, or a piece of wood before you plain it. don't get me wrong i understand you use this for promoting your skills and products, i just think it is a little much is all
supdus Branding. No one will do it for me. Take control of your life.
supdus better his name on every tool that he owns than dewalt delta or something like that
I love watching your videos. I learn a ton from you while seeing hours worth of work in just a few minutes. You're the man!
I love boxes and chests... Sure as hell like this one! That's awesome
I love the way your work is very hands on a rustic... well not rustic but cool looking at the end! Well done, love the things you make!
Another very cool project ! thanks for sharing .. I love how you recycle things and make new stuff using it like you did with the pallet wood.
Your videos give me confidence to try things I normally wouldn't. You made this look so easy. The coin dump at the end literally made me LOL. :) Another great build, Jimmy DiResta.
Jimmy, you never cease to amaze me. Great project, thanks for sharing.
ain't nobody never gonna get old captain DiResta or his quarters and penny's! nobody!
Wow...what a great little chest. Always impressed with your design and execution. Major Kudo's.....please keep em coming.
It's interesting you go from metal construction to inserting wood into it, which is sort of the metal fabricators approach. Most carpenters would make a wood box and clad it with lots of metal. Both are worthy avenues to go down, of course historically no one could make a box easily this way due to the welding.
Take a bow Jimmy! Another fantastic project.
Anyone know what he brushes on to blacken the metal?
the plasma cut was a bit rough but over all really awesome and really impressive how one can do all the joining in metal and just do minimalistic wood working.. cool concept
Seams like a very quick build too :)
The amazing DiResta strikes again. Too cool man.
Omg!!!! U r awesome! I was making a chest for my sister... And now this has me reworking my method! This is great! One your of the best! Yes!
Man, what you do is just AMAZING! That's real ART!
Sometime I see you do stuff with tools that could be done better and more easily with different tools, but I don't understand the circumstances in your tool choice so I don't judge.
These videos are always fun to watch.
Thanks again was about to go into withdrawal. You always inspire. I believe that you are more talented than you'll ever know
i made parade floats for a living for many years and i had to make alot of items like this in my days
i had 4 pirate ships in the fleet and i have to say you did a good job for the speed and timing adding some cut off bolts could help fire/burn some of the wood things to make it look old
A good use of found materials as always. Great treasure chest.
I do that scoring the metal thing like at 1:00; makes a sharper bend, even with a bending brake.
One of the coolest projects I've seen.
Epic as usual, great use for pallet wood too. Don't see how anyone can thumbs down, but there are all kinds out there. Sure beats a 5 gallon water container for all your loose change.
I love the fact he showed the widening of the contacts when he plugged in that cutting tool.
Wow! Putting the change in at the end was Double Wow! Great project and great use! Thanks for the vids bro!
Love it! another Classic Vid from one of the best makers on RUclips
Diresta will stay in history far beyond just in RUclips...
"MA, I NEED A WELDING TORCH AND SOME METAL!!!!"....."NEVER MIND WHY..I JUST NEED THEM"
I'll take one. Glad to see you finally found a camera-helper!
I'm impressed with how skillfull you are. You are a real artist, craftsman and it's impressive how well you master all kinds of tools. I've seen many of your vidoes, and the Stormtrooper and this pirate chest are really cool. Congratulations!
I'm 15 and you are an inspiration keep up the work
An artist with amazing skills! DiResta you blow me away with every video! Love them, looking forward to the future to see what you make next! Thank you!
