the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@HandToolRescue]

I didn't like the part where the video ended.

[@workhardism]

Hand Tool Rescue You can always 'rescue' and fix it! Lol. You and Jimmy, love both you guys channels.

[@9009matorres]

I would have to say that's my pet peeve when it comes to JD videos...

[@davestrain1762]

Bwahaaha

[@gregfeneis609]

Well, there's always the next video. Then you can watch DiResta the story.

[@rickbodick6812]

Yeah, I was kinda hoping we would get to see him give it to Chris, that would be awesome....

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Appears so effortless, like water taking the shape of a glass, but when I try & make, multitudes of ugliness come at me & I struggle, but slowly with this kind of inspiration & learning by seeing I get better. Thank you for all you share.

[@jbratt]

Cool! An Amish laptop 👍😃. Jimmy’s skills are always improving. Very inspiring. Thanks for another great video. Merry Christmas.

[@nicholasricchiuto8454]

I like your approach to making boxes Jimmy. You create the lid from the whole of the box, rather than making a separate lid. Its not only a simpler way to work, it's a more zen way to achieve a beautiful box. You then 'take the inside line' shim the inside of the box up and basically make the male piece that fits into the lid. I like how you are also 'tack welding' those small strips of wood with the CA glue. Small thin pieces, and staying square can be challenging. Thanks for all the tricks and great videos Jimmy.

[@mannyduran855]

Another great job by big Jimmy Diresta, always amazing!!

[@RyanBarnes]

This is the sort of builds I enjoy watching! Well done Jimmy, I'm sure that even if it's never used to its fullest potential it will remain a keepsake for many many years.

[@T19OPH]

That's so nicely crafted! And to make something that's going to be in Chris' possession! Awesome!

[@jonathanhikes5140]

Glueing a strip of rubber to make a hinge, Brilliant!!

[@itaishemer]

Loved the way you jointed the pieces into a board. That gives the box a whole new level of beauty!

[@chadwickrhodes752]

Dang it man! I never comment. From a high-mileage master carpenter; WELL DONE 👍🏼 My favorite part is walking away snapping your fingers. Inspires me to get back in the shop where magic happens. Thank you. Grateful that you share your passion.

[@harleelarson7208]

That's something else jimmy! My wife is a nurse and has a cheap plastic clipboard she's been using for a little over a year now that is so cool something like that would be awesome for her imma have to do something about that. I love your videos and how you're so magical with those hands and whiteout tools!

[@aserta]

There was a time when you could get boards like those in one piece, but that time is long gone. Still have a few rescued from the fire.

[@texasnewf]

Very cool as usual Jimmy ! Love the mix of the new tech with wood working ! I always liked your silent fast forward vids as I catch on quick and hate those step by step videos where people talk about the obvious crap ! :)

[@Casdias]

I wish could enjoy it more than once!

[@nekonekrotika8629]

I really love and enjoy watching all his wooden work

[@davestrain1762]

So Awesome! I love the start to finish something from nothing videos and combing in the CNC is fantastic! I use the same clamping system for cutting boards.

[@airwolf28]

Jimmy, you did it again.. You stunned me with your magic. I was wondering if Chris Rock ever seen your videos? Great job, Jimmy!!

[@stianhammervold]

Old school diresta video! For a minute there I felt like you where back in the basement shop.. awesome work!!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Definitely like using all the strips to make the front and back pieces. Gives it a nice touch rather than a single wide board!

[@Khether0001]

_HEY DIRESTA! maybe in a case like this you could drill tiny holes close together through the leather and the wood and stitch it simulating leatherworking stitches, then gluing a strip of wood painted black on the inside of it so the holes don't affect the structural integrity of the box._ this way the leather will never get loose! Love your videos so much, man!!!

[@dwjb1973]

That is a beauty well done brother.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Jimmy! 👍👊 ...... being that it's ruled paper, I'm certain that more than just a few of the jokes are bound to be over the line! 😁

[@9009matorres]

ba dum tss

[@MustardMade]

Noted.

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

Nice elegant Box Jimmy .. You should call it " Joke box " Thanks for sharing man. Regards

[@hugoruas]

Very...very nice!!! I want one piece. Lol.

[@MrFoufou81]

Toujours sublime les créations de Jimmy !!! Encore bravo !!

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

Great design and loads of great making tips, thanks Jimmy.

[@iDeviceChgr]

Beautiful brother!! 👍🏼 well done! Looks great 😊

[@joelkton1]

Beautiful work! I like the way you hinged that lid. I've never seen that before.

[@azechoteam5119]

Kickass! I was watching Matthias Wandel's video of when he made a grave marker for his father, and he spray painted the inside of the letters black (Tried burning but that didn't work). Then sanded/planed off the excess paint. Really made the engravings pop! I really think you should've tried that with this piece! The bridge and the letters would really stand out.

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

Another creation fit for a King (Comedy) , I learned as always my brother . Stay Well Stay Safe

[@propsguy007]

Jimmy, it's time for an edge sander. Beautiful work, as always.

[@DariusSinclair]

i hope they gave you tickets to the show. This is pretty amazing!

[@patricktdonovan]

So awesome beautiful work as always.

[@JohnMadeit]

Nice box. That purple heart looks great..

[@oldmanpatterson79]

Very nice! Love the leather hinge!

[@Alyn4220]

Awesome work as always Jimmy!! I wish I had your motivation so I could get these Christmas presents finished..

[@goldenfarms2934]

It looks awesome! Thanks for sharing another great video. 👍🇺🇸

[@MARFYMAKER]

thank you very much for your subscription to my channel you are a big brother

[@WOODRF]

very good, fantastic.

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

I remember Jesse James (the motorcycle guy(I like him)) said something about how he became too famous to do what made him famous. This is what made Jimmy famous, I hope he never gets to famous to make videos like this.

[@matt_williams1015]

The leather hinge is a great touch

[@vincentalexvigil4671]

Wow! that is pretty cool... Thanks for sharing!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful box! I like the way you designed and carved the top on the CNC with just the V bit!

[@Ray_Sellner]

Another great piece. Keep the Faith.

[@BurtonsAttic]

Great work, like the clamping jig

[@remzgroup]

Awesome job! The finish gives it a really nice look! Let the jokes start! Cool joint!

[@michaelredhead3648]

this is so cool.. proper treat!!!

[@perro_dinamita]

Beatiful. Bravo DiResta!

[@cheif10thumbs]

[@MARFYMAKER]

Fantastic as always, congratulations. From Italy with affection :)

[@WheretheJones]

I need 7 of these...just for my one liners.

[@malcomsue]

Love the leather hinge, great idea.

[@davebauerart]

Cool. Great concept. I like the panels made of the thin strips. I only ever see you and Tim Sway doing that.

[@jkunderwood3291]

Woooo totally awesome jimmy.

[@49cfr]

Beautiful, and I love the leather hinge.

[@Doughfam]

Ok so I saw the video thumbnail and thought cool! Then I watched the video and holy s**t that is awesome! Add it the list of things I want to try.

[@kang6007]

[@gillesgirard2771]

Simple, but really beautiful ;) I love this job ;)

[@AGlimpseInside]

[@fahad055]

[@MrAndrew990]

Jimmy makes complex things simple. Great work.

[@Mr123precious]

Thousand Thumbs up!

[@joshwiley881]

That is awesome. I was wondering if there was going to be some sort of hinge. Great idea with the binding.

[@jpwoodwork]

dude, that was awesome!!!

[@gianlucabelliti737]

beautiful work congratulations You are an artist....

[@saikkkkkk]

what a beautiful gift.... 😍👍🏼

[@gregormiller4037]

"And now for DiResta the story....Paul Harvey, Good Day." :)

[@marianeitor]

Amazing and beautiful as usual Jimmy, you are the best!! But learning from you, I think maybe a black or a gold colour inside the carved would enhance the letters. Merry Christmas to you!!!

[@mustie1]

man you work fast

[@BrianAdle]

But wait.... I thought Jimmy didn't make stuff any more? :D Love the box Jimmy! So many great techniques and lessons learned. Keep up the awesome work.

[@thiagoennes]

i missed that format!

[@ManCrafting]

That would be a good gift for John.

[@davestrain1762]

John can't write... with anything but a rattle can haha!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Jimmy, Never cease to amaze sir! wow you still have that old planer working. LOL! Wondering why you've not aquired a belt sander? And I still think Spike should make appearances in the new shop although he's semi retired and living on the farm. LOL!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Oh yeah Loved the glue up. Very elegant !

[@LaserLivestream]

More Spike!

[@darrellwalton6967]

Very nice !!

[@Costner_built]

Turned out great Jimbo! Those box joints are sexy!

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

WAS THAT JIMMY HOLDING A ROUTER ABOVE THE WOOD AND MOVING REALLY FAST? OR WAS THAT JUST NOT REAL WOODWORKING. lmfao JK TROLLS

[@CammiesGarage]

Beauty.

[@trixiewasanegg]

Hey jimmy theres a typo in the description i dont think this is a gif more of a gift

[@Pawelism]

Always happy to see a new video pop up! How come CA glue (looked like a lot of it too!) instead of wood glue like on the glue-up? Was it just a time / convenience factor?

[@MakeTinkerShare]

Pawel Szymczykowski usually that is the reason.

[@thesabstreesa9870]

Great work

[@DOCDARKNESSREAL]

Nice box Jimmy! It Rocked 😁🤘🏻

[@WoodenCreationz]

Excellent lighting, Excellent Technique, Awesome idea with the leather hinge. I just want to go out and make one now! Your Killen it bud!!! So stoked you got the concrete poured! Can't wait to see your toys in that building one day!!! Brian 😎

[@caiosoares4577]

Diresta roots :D

[@canaldoalexandre6562]

Estava até com saudades dos antigos trabalhos, esse ficou show!!

[@caiosoares4577]

Muito massa, inspiração total

[@canaldoalexandre6562]

Muito inspirador, só me falta a habilidade e as ferramentas kkkkk Mas graças a estes canais tenho conseguido um grande avanço!

[@LIGamingTV]

the description just say given to me by my Derek

[@MakeTinkerShare]

i PHoeNiK Derek knows who he is! He's a cool dude! Jimmy's talked about him before in his vlogs as well as the podcast.

[@massimozamagni8494]

Fenomeno

[@MacKenzieOfSweden]

Im inspired!! I was really surprised you didnt use brass rivets on the book binding, but your solution was superior in the end. Im off to the garage now.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Beautiful! Good to see some builds again!

[@KeyWestMakers]

Thanks for another great video Jimmy. I'm always inspired by your effective sanding methods - adhering sandpaper to a stationary or simple, custom-made hand-held form. As well as your practical ways for holding things in place for assembling, gluing, welding, etc. Been trying to incorporate some into my own (long ingrained) ways of working.

[@gennval]

Well done, along with the video, enjoyed!

[@dariobrollo3944]

jimmy sei un grande!!!

[@ecrusch]

Pretty cool hinge trick. I gotta get a CNC. Eric

[@NewbTactical]

That is awesom

[@girliedog]

Very nice.

[@Sonal_Mobile]

Great project Jimmy! I think I can make this too!

[@robertparker2420]

How is it that I learn some new shop trick every time I watch one of your videos....FFS, I JUST LEARNED I HAVE BEEN CUTTING AND GLUING UP PLANKS WRONG MY ENTIRE LIFE!

[@mad_villain8580]

he is the reason why I hate myself that I did not visit the wood working course in my school in germany
