A very SMOOTH build...

7:23 i think we need more mouth sound edits, that was beautiful

[@andrejohnson6731]

7:27 shop sounds are so soothing

[@DaleHawkins]

The sound effects made me laugh. Great work on the project.

[@LittleShadowWoodcraft]

I love these videos. And the dubbed in sound effects made my morning! Thanks Jimmy! Beautiful brass hammers.

[@BrandonJSpangler]

Anyone else find watching metal work on a lathe almost hypnotic…? I love it. 😊

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Funny you should use the word hypnotized.....I've been barking at cars all afternoon.

[@dhengen]

Love the technique employed at 7:23 - very ingenious!

[@markellis6886]

Just gave me a great idea for my surplus brass and bronze. Thank you Jimmy for all your knowledge and inspiration.

[@dfmtoolworks]

I agree the milling the eye sounds were a fun treat in this video. Really appreciate your willingness to work with us on this project!

[@bralingii1635]

Beautiful craftsmanship. He's having some fun with us around 7:30!

[@Fireballsocal]

Received mine in Ca. yesterday. This is a beautiful tool! The weight feels great in the hand. The handle is nice and will be even better after sanding and linseed oil. And it will get used, as nice to look at as it is. I don't own show tools.

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous! I have always thought that brass is the working man’s gold: As pretty & yet practical & affordable. Such a delightful tool to make & have. Thank you for sharing!

[@Jacob_Dwyer]

7:21 bless you for fixing the audio, oh man Heroic editing!

[@brickinitLego]

Your foley artist deserves a raise.

[@Shawnbbeckner]

02/11/24 0:34 been a minute since you’ve done a lathe video 2:52 I got mine. 3:44 3 of them 4:21 I like how you come in with a gouge dial in the roundness 6:43 patreon has the best tips. 7:26 haha love it bc when you do this. 8:07 I like this shot. 10:33 beautiful work glad I got one. Intended for use. Great video as usual. 👊🙏✊

[@docolemnsx]

Thanks for kinda summing up the video 😂

[@Shawnbbeckner]

@@docolemnsx it’s for me to know I watched the whole thing and took it in plus this style comment s engaging for the KZbin Al go Rythym. Jimmy’s the best and if I can help him grow in anyway I will.

[@gallowaylights]

​@Shawnbbeckner * That's a cool thing.... helping AI... needs all the help it can get 😂

[@Shawnbbeckner]

@@gallowaylights I’m close friends with him like I said it’s mostly for me. I’ve been watching him for 12 years and going back it’s hard to find the old comments at times. This makes it easier for me to remember what I learned from him in that moment that way 12 years from now I can look back and see what I’ve gained from a particular video. it’s nice to capture a moment in words. I wish I did it twelve years ago when i started watching him. He knows why I’m doing it and I guess that’s all that matters.

[@jasonbuckler190]

Really really wanted to buy one of these hammers, wife did not approve. As we live in Oz this is one of the few things we can brinf in. Icepicks and giant blades need not apply. Happy to see how they were made, sad i dont own one.

[@guillermodelnoche]

When I watch people use a lathe I wonder if it’s possible to collect the shavings and melt them back into a usable shape? I’m sure it’s not economical but it would be an interesting experiment in recycling materials. Amazing looking hammer!

[@ReeTM]

Had to laugh at the dub overs at around 7:23 Thank you, Jimmy!

[@garyknight8616]

Great project, gorgeous Hammer. Made myself brass hammers a couple of years ago, as you say, indispensable in the 'shop .

[@goptools]

Hi Jimmy. Nice build for the hammer. It's a beautiful piece. I liked how you carved the ball end. I don't think I've ever seen anyone carve like that on a metal lathe!

[@sophieen6145]

My partner and I always make machine noises, when you did it we cried laughing 😂

[@creativityinc.108]

Chefs kiss to the sound effects !!!!

[@sapelesteve]

Now those hammers are fantastic Jimmy! Well done & I hope that sales go well! 🔨🔨👍👍

[@MCsCreations]

Stunning hammers, Jimmy! Really beautiful work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@DaBuild]

Very nice Jimmy! It's always a treat watching your vids! Cheers!

[@tobymilo8625]

Always beautiful work! Perfect! I can watch you make things all day! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@Meister1551]

Beautiful work on the brass hammer. Great video.

[@rocknewoodworking]

Will be an excellent addition, order placed! great product and content as always Jimmy

[@jimrosson6702]

Absolutely amazing watching you work Sir always so awesome to see you make the things you make. Thanks for sharing

[@splinters_66]

Gorgeous,tapping into your vast array of talents I see 😄

[@strokerace5468]

I just found a brass hammer from my grandfathers tools that were in a box at dads. It shined up nice. It has a big nice handle I was able to save. Must be 60 -70 years old dad thinks

[@Mucram-17]

Talk about precision work.Wow that is a beautiful hammer.Well done.Btw worth every penny.

[@gallowaylights]

00:02:44 Wow! You're never going to want to see another brass hammer again!😂 thanks for the sacrifice!

[@tomim7187]

Such a nice tool. Can't wait for mine to show up!

[@reforzar]

Brilliant. Great uses and beautifully made.

[@astromonkey2]

The patina on that brass bar was kinda nice.

[@saginawdan]

Thanks Jimmy, love watching the lathe! ❤

[@richardcorwin1828]

A hammer suitable for framing! Nice work Jimmy!!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Hmmmm A framing hammer

[@ramsaysg]

Nice Hammer. Any more videos of the house renovation coming?

[@warrenwerks]

Beautiful work as always Jimmy

[@pyro323]

Imagine how much work Jimmy could get done if he actually worked that fast in real life! 🤔

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Jimmy Diresta beautiful hammer beautifully done good job

[@ericpedersen2760]

Beautiful 🙌 And I love the drilling sounds 😂

[@bcbloc02]

I always get a kick of you turning on the metal lathe like it is a wood lathe. 😀

[@vettepicking]

Jimmy, i use a paint brush to block the spraying chips on brass and cast iron.

[@jimmydiresta]

Good idea

[@bigbird2451]

That was cool. I've never seen wood lathe tools used on a metal lathe.

[@sgsax]

And now I finally know what you've been making in there. 😁 Great looking hammer! And sound effects provided by Giaco perhaps? Thanks for sharing!

[@farben_kyber]

Glad I rejoined the Patreon to get the heads up for this, just wish I hadn't spent my last extra $200 on a few Starbucks and fast food runs last week. Okay, that's minor hyperbole, but it's still crazy how that stuff adds up these days. At least I can get the machining zen this morning for free! I'm inspired to get working on my projects (after I finish coffee). Thanks!

[@wattyWatlington]

Love the product development!! Also my wife loves her Diresta tote. She gets tons of compliments on it.

[@jimmydiresta]

😊

[@scottj4059]

Like the sound effects of the whole expansion 😂😂😂

[@davidmeyer9204]

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care my friend.

[@dalusa81]

good man Jimmy. Great work as always. Thank you for the video!

[@alansmith4734]

You could make a copper / rawhide hammer, which is used to remove or tighten knock off wheels on classic cars.

[@patrickrainville451]

Beautiful. Love the sound effects. 😂

[@turgworks4138]

Id love to see you cast some of these, just to see how it would differ in the clean up process

[@MarcosReis07]

Jimmy seus vídeos são inspiração para mim a muito tempo, muito obrigado por tudo. Saudações do Brasil.😊

[@Barret_Radtke]

my cat started growling when you were milling the handle holes in the hammer heads.

[@viorsa8200]

Espectacular trabajo maestro,uos martillos de ajuste divinos de la muerte, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜

[@Claudio-v7g]

Triplet hammers very good work congratulations 😊

[@masterofnone]

And the best mill noise imitation award goes to........ Jimmy DiResta! 🎉

[@118blades4]

I might need one of those for your bags 🫣😉

[@davebauerart]

Nice work and the snazziest sounding mill in town!

[@damonkinney503]

I died laughing at the machine voice over! More please!

[@catafalque3634]

Skew chisel and sound FX bleedin’ marvellous.

[@pbgv5590]

Beautiful !

[@terrymccurdy7592]

The fast motion sound of the mill sounds like a minion😂

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@steamfan7147]

Tip for turning Brass, Bronze and Zinc. Turn the cuttung tool upside down and run the lathe is reverse. That way chips go ino the chip pan and not all over the shop.

[@garthbutton699]

Ya beat me to the punch!

[@DiodePress]

Love it, beautiful hammers!

[@girliedog]

I would love to see what a collaboration between Jimmy Diresta and Adam Booth would yield.

[@Plonkyb]

That’s a piece of art Sir. $200 is a steal. P.s. the drilling sound made me smile. 👍🏼

[@jimmydiresta]

❤😂

[@The_J_Man]

As much fun as brass is to machine, I really dont miss that fine spray of swarf you get when turning. Especially when going for the high speed shallow finishing passes!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Cool video. Awesome hammer. Mahalo for sharing!

[@darrinswanson]

LOL! Those are some quality sound effects!

[@ChrisMc67]

Best of luck selling your hammers! 🔨 I have a nice brass hammer, didn't make it myself and it's likely mass produced, not a limited, premium piece like this of course but has served me well. 👍

[@JOHN-that-is-me]

That is the best sounding drill. I could not stop laughing. Thank you.

[@Kristian_theDane82]

Beautiful hammer 👍

[@keithparady2594]

So I’m in a Walmart superstore and I’m going through the tool department and I look down and see something that says I MAKE and right then and there I knew where I have seen that. And I says to myself that’s jimmy diresta it has to be an sure enough it is that’s wicked kool that is just one way to get kids or really anyone to try and make something and put something together and then it opens up so many possibilities and just might have an impact on someone’s life

[@heyimamaker]

👌 awesome work!

[@tropifiori]

I love turning brass

[@williammorris1763]

Gotta get the mill z driver key with a cordless. Your arms gotta be on fire after all these.😂❤🔥

[@JDeWittDIY]

I want to see the pile of brass chips under the mill and lathe when he's done with the 200 hammers. Melt them down and make something else!

[@cest7343]

That milling really brought you to the knee 😅

[@anonymously241]

Very nice hammer 🔨👍💯

[@DILLIGAF65]

There are some pretty nice and cheap adjustable radius tools for lathes online,they can cut nice spheres and also convex/concave. They are great when you need to do multiples that need to be the same size.

[@Moffit366]

I got the paskmakes one very useful

[@predmaster]

Haters will say you had a sound problem and replaced it with crazy frog style effects, but we, real fans know that's not true

[@combatmedic1980]

Although it is a very beautiful hammer. at $200 who is going to beat on it. Not in my lifetime, but I do love you Jimmy.

[@muskegsmith3388]

Jimmy! Yer hammers appealing and practical, but brass can do a lot of damage. I prefer the softer touch of an aluminum hammer. Keep up the good work!

[@scottsimpey2965]

Is it weird to call a hammer beautiful lol. I have followed your channel for years now and my dad used to do a lot of metal working like that. It’s kind of ironic that you should happen to put this video today because we were just talking last night about the metal work that he and I used to do. He had an old Smithy lathe/end mill that I always enjoyed working on. I do primarily wood working but I wish I had a metal lathe in my shop to as they are so incredibly useful. Great project.

[@makeadnane]

Nice idea

[@greatitbroke]

Beautiful Hammers Jimmy. I would love one but my wife would kill me. LOL I want to live a little longer.

[@john-rn8fi]

Beautiful hammer 💪

[@xpndblhero5170]

7:23 - Most scientifically accurate mill sounds ever..... 😂❤

[@Jak_To_Mozliwe]

7:23 lol xD made my day, thx!

[@kubarber8936]

The GOAT know more to be said 😮

[@secret37aa]

You're amazing. 😎

[@MakerGeek]

weird timing, for me to see a diresta video within 16 seconds of publish and be among the first 20 views. do you keep all the brass chips and off cuts now that you can also melt & recast them?

[@hizo64HH]

I missed watching Jimmy videos.

[@c.a.g.1977]

7:23 🤣😂😆 Brilliant!!! This brass hammer is absolutely gorgeous... but unfortunately not in my budget. For those who do get their hands on them: are you going to use it, or frame it in and hang it on the wall like the piece of art that it is?

[@justinbanks2380]

5:06 why do I immediately think giant overkill pawns? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️
