Thank you to www.carolinash... for sponsoring this Video!
In this video you watch me make a die stamp for a full size license plate. I use 1" thick aluminum I purchased from McMaster Carr
I cut the material about .25" at its deepest. the actual impression on the letters in .030" deep. the inner and outer plates are offset .015" .. not enough ...reason I make adjustments after the first impression. The plate blanks .05MM thick are from amazon.

My dad always said I'd be making license plates one day. Now I know how.
He might have meant you would be making them in prison, but least this way you get some practice in before hand. Far as i know process is not much different.
@@Hellsong89 that's the joke...
Haha same.
MVD: " No, of course you can't have completely custom licence plates!"
Jimmy Diresta: " Hold my ice pick"
A Ruddock brilliant, under table ;)
MVD?
@@jonjohnson102 Motor Vehicle Department. Not all states call it the DMV
Ol Uncle Jimmy is making license plates upstate New York
ManCraftingTM 🤣
Isn’t that an old term for "in prison"? From the times when inmates had to do jobs while in prison like making license plates?
Yeah that’s the joke all right 😉
Akefay Amenay yep. 🤣
Funny AF
I was afraid I'd have to go to prison to learn how this is done, thanks Jimmy👍
I'm surprised you didn't spray them with wax and then run a belt sander over them, followed by a spray of colour ... seems like a lot of work to use vinyl.
Alain Moran this is actually cost efficiënt
Bravo! So 21st century to cut the formers & the vinyl so clean & accurate & so 19th century to press them with a hammer, so beautiful & harmonising that tech across the centuries works to make this magic happen & how aptly, masterfully & unexpected was the finish with the boots left behind. Thanks for sharing!
5:28 and there goes the iPhone's screen
And theres also no grass under it aswell oof
A sheet of thin tooling urethane over bottom die makes for cleaner/softer impressions. I used to make dies for a 330 ton press. Also cuts down on wear of the die for long runs. We also used it on press brakes for custom stainless steel parts. No tooling marks. NIce work.
Awesome work Jimmy!
You can now crowdsource your parking tickets 😉
a genius without limits of creativity, I've been following you for 3 years and I've seen all your videos, in fact I'm always looking forward to them.👍👍👍💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️
This is AWESOME!! I would love to see you make a coin press! CNC a coin die and go to town!
Coin press complete....Days later...Knocking sound at the door...."Who is it?" Long pause..."Dept. of Treasury. We have some questions."
I could have painted the embossing with a roller instead of the sticker, the plates in Brazil are painted this way!
It always a treat when the audio slows down to normal, and you hear Jimmy's sense of wonder at something he did that worked. Makes me smile! Also, love the ending with the boots. :)
Make 100 of them, then I'll be impressed 😁
Big wooden adjustable spanner.
A suggestion; not an insult. ;)
or a giant one!
You’re uploading on a Friday afternoon? I don’t even know you anymore Jimmy.
#heschanged ;-) ...in all the right ways!
Nice Job Jimmy. I am never disappointed tuning in to your channel.
I love metal - Love it even more in the hands of genius
Hey Jimmy. Is funny to see that you use aluminum from my workplace (AMAG). Gretings from austria and good job!
Who knew you could do that without having to go upstate!! 😂😂😂
Before laying the mask over the vinyl put the sticky side on your shirt. It will pick up a little lint making the vinyl release easier when pealing off the clear mask
The applied lettering seems way too fiddly to me. Did a rubber ink roller and paint not work?
I came here to ask the same! Didn't understand the whole stencil thing. But, it is unique implementation so I guess that's what makes it a Diresta.
Also the boots at the end, perfect!
Long way from the first plate you made! Love it.
Could you just roll paint on top of the raised letters? It would streamline the production of these...
Also, for added realism, you could use reflective paint or - better yet - make your own by just adding tiny glass beads/balloons!
Nuno Lourenço I was thinking the same but this gives a much cleaner look with less chance for screwing it up
Hans Idso, too clean maybe? :)
Other option would be the letter press if the ink allow for it.
He has several printing presses, I bet one could be adjusted to the thickness of the plates so it would roll ink on just the raised letters.
Awesome! Now try it with a 3d printed PLA forming tool. It will work!
another way i seen that done was by making the letters and surround from sheetmetal glueing them to a piece of steel and press it with the metall licenceplate in between in a piece of high density rubber , makes the edges a little less sharp but takes a lot less work to make
I use to make license tags in North Carolina also, it was called prison. lol. JK
So cool. The discussion of the whole process on the podcast was super educational! Thanks.
I love the bumper on your truck, I'm from Arkansas and I've only seen a couple of these dealer stamped bumpers, very odd to see one all the way up in NY
The are after market bumpers. I believe iron cross
Powder coating would be great for these. Surprised you don’t have a setup for that Jimmy.
For some reason I have an urge to go buy a new pair of boots.
Sweet! Love seeing the stamping process, very satisfying.
Loved working with aluminum in Machine shop at my high school.
I dig this in so many ways.
Love the subtle sponsorship of the video while we get to learn something cool
Use an ink roller to paint the black letters. It will only paint the raised sections of the plate
Really curious to know if it’s legal to make your own license plate or not.
Jung Ko c’mon man, why would it be legal to make your own if the government issues them in the first place?
Your front plate in many states can be a vanity plate. I've seen custom made plates with different color schemes, but with the actual license plate number. I know a guy who owned a sign shop and did just that, and got the OK from California Highway Patrol. It's the plate with the registration tag that has to be officially issued. You can't make those and not get pulled over.
That perfect handle hammer is freakin awesome! I have wanted one for a long time!!
😄 Love the touch at the end!
Bye, bye boots!
im probably stupid but wouldnt it be viable to customize one of your printing presses to keep feeding metal plates to it so it presses the template, then print the black paint on another printing press?
Hey those were cool! :-) a good use of your vinyl cutter!:-) oh get this, I was flipping through my TV channels today and Ask This Old House was on. I haven't watched that show in years. So I decided just to leave it there since was nothing else on and guess what? Jimmy diresta was on there building a table, showing how to get joined edges with the table saw! :-)
Jimmy doesn't have time for the drill chuck to stop spinning on it's own. Stops it with his hand... I do the same😁. Got to save a second where you can. Got stuff to do! Is it a good idea...... yes, yes it is.
Not on my drill it isn't! lol
@@bcbloc02 Maybe not the best idea in ever case😄
Great work! Like!
Always a pleasure to see the process !!!
Awesome work
Love and respect ✊
That's one of the coolest things I've seen Jimmy do. How I'd love to have him make some for my old Chevy c10. Even if they were just for show.
Hit that vinyl with a super stiff nylon brush over the masking. Good for texture etc. We do this when applying vinyl text to textured walls or wood. (I run a sign shop). They even make a special brush for this that's got a straight handle.
The chicken was as interested as we all are!
Really amazing job, dude! Fantastic! 😮
i kinda got to think, that some sorta roller with a rather hard rubber surface could work for the black paint as well? maybe worth a shot?
yay. podcast followed by videos. Also I wants one!!
Nice "drop" at the beginning. Thanks Jimmy!!!
awesome! I MAKE. nice licence plate number :)
Just wondering, considering the facility with which Jimmy made the license plate so beautifully might he had some prior experience?🤣
Wow I haven’t been paying attention, you’re at 1.6 million subscribers, good for you jimmy I started following you when you were at 600 thousand
thanks for making this video! Who do I go see if I want to design and make the mold?
Wow your CNC work is only getting better.
I wonder if u could stamp color on the letters in one of your glorious printing presses?
That is where I thought he would be headed.
James Bramlett I’m sure he thought about it
Or some kind of silk screen process
Is t possible to embosse CALIFORNIA on my original unembossed plates?
I wonder if you could retrofit one of your printing presses to paint the raised letters on the plates.
Does anyone know if a vise would produce enough pressure to do something like this? Maybe if you concentrate the pressure into one spot and slowly go over each part. Also would paper have helped soften the sharp edges cutting the sheet metal?
Great work Jimmy love your videos so much!
Nicely done! Take a hair dryer or heat gun to those decals after you pull up the masking and it will form to those curves a little easier.
Amazing as usual Jimmy I really enjoyed this video 😄😄
Did you think about making a spray plate template for the writing so you wouldn't have to keep making vinyl stickers?
great work as always. maybe a suggestion invest in a sublimation printer . use a sublimation aliminum plates and press to eliminate vinyl work . this way it will look like its infuse din the metal
Those are pretty cool!
Thank you Jimmy for another awesome video!! :)
These going to the store??
Haha! I like it, but where is the old Shopbot! I have a place for it down under! Glad your not doing this is the pokie! Nice one Jimmy!
He has to put this in the paper press!
...may not fit? Well, sounded good anyway!! Great idea Jimmy!!
Top production process! Congratz
That's quite the printing press!
I dont get how some processes like the metal lathe requires cooling fluid while its running and here the milling machine gets away with it.
Anyone know what machine that was cutting the vinyl stickers?
Just like how they do it in the pokey.👊💯
This is very impressive! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We can clearly see you cracked the screen. That was unfortunate.
Excelente Saludos desde Argentina
That is awesome Jimmy cool plates
Great job Jimmy
You Make like Billy Joel Sings!
Super cool I want one
Im always expecting him to say- Hello im Johnny knoxwill... Never happens
@4:28 The thing on your wrist, is that an analog fitbit?
Watched in slowmo It did shatter the screen on the iPhone
Told you those " ice pick" Would get you Life, Making License Plate Great Job
I’m really surprised you didn’t use a printing press to paint the letters. Not sure if it’s possible though.
A integrated cutter edges for the outer shape could be added to the die and then you wouldn't need pre-cut panels? Also why not use a flat paint roller for the letters instead of vinyl?
Now build yourself a new iPhone
Nice work.
Would it be possible to put ink/paint in one of the dies so you can skip the vinyl cutter part?
You could easily just mask off the plate after the yellow paint went on and spray the letters black, which is actually what I figured he'd do. It would save time and effort.
@@InstrucTube could easily as well just make a stamp for one of his book presses as well with the cnc and a bit of hard rubber.
@@InstrucTube I haven't experienced masking off detailed designs like lettering to be easy or fast. I mean, probably the fastest way to do that would be to use the vinyl cutter to create a stencil to do the masking - and then you might as well just use the stickers.
@@MattWeber I actually forgot about the presses.
@@CondredgeDole eh, fair enough. I'd still say that the paint is going to be more durable than vinyl letters, so id go with the stencil.
Totally awesome!
Jimmy! What about making a stamp for the lettering instead of the decals?? Eh? EHH?? Haha! You're the best, man!
what i've never understood is how you deal with all the metal filings. I've seen your pets in your different workspaces, and thought they must surely be at risk of getting metal in their paws or fur, which could be very dangerous
That's excellent...prison time came in handy!! Jkjk
Could you use your printing press to do the letters in black?
come posso avere una di quelle targhe???
Those are pretty sweet
Would plates like this be legal and able to be registered if the letters used were available?
Nice one. I wondered if you would get back to this. That tailgate seems to be holding up well
An art work, well done!
We have the inmates do our Florida license plates. Ha Ha
