DiResta Basement Door Rebuild: 200+ Year Old Farmhouse

[@jimmydiresta]

Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you all! Due to time and weather i will fill the gaps w mortar and paint the door w linseed in due time 🙏🏼 love and respect ✊🏻 ..the people talking about wood movement, don't worry its all going to be fine. I've considered every possible out come.

[@no_name9906]

It needs a Diresta cat door...😀

[@rob_boss]

Freaking awesome, I need me a farm house, love the medieval aspect of it

[@SmartMass]

I hope your blacksmith-ed handle makes it another 200 years, nice work.

[@thematthewlondon]

i was wondering how you would even fill in the gaps, i was thinking spray foam? but how do you cover that up? some kind of scribed trim? but yeah, mortar, duh.. love it

[@ericpedersen2760]

Awesome build 🙌

[@andyjame5249]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@Nandel67120]

This descent of stone stairs ending with such a door... It feels like entering the caves of Moria !!! It's just beautiful!!!

[@ThisOldTony]

beautiful door!!

[@punksurfer76]

where the hell have you been! ive been worried sick!

[@hansangb]

@11:56 I like to think that ToT was tearing up a bit....a lil' bit, a lil' bit. No (weirdly satisfying) blue marker, no uniform chips.... 😂

[@jimmydiresta]

Tony!!! Xoxox 😃

[@pastameatball]

First time I’ve seen Jimmy pick up a level. Thought he never needed one. Great lesson to all DIY guys like myself. If he needs one, you do too.

[@buckhorncortez]

Why would I care if he used a level? I have 12 different levels in sizes from 6-feet down to 8-inches and I don't need Jimmy Diresta to remind me how to use them.

[@MakeSomething]

That is such a cool looking door! Love it!

[@jimmydiresta]

😊😊😊👊🏼👊🏼❤️

[@AnthonyJanflone]

Jimmy you are the best I've ever seen. Thank you for you kindness to share.

[@robertrussell6614]

Cellar Door. Beautiful words, beautiful door.

[@Paul-mn8ql]

I love those old houses with the crazy fieldstone basements.

[@mking3219]

Good morning Mr Diresta This door makes me wish we all lived in 200+y/o farm houses, with stacked stone foundations Well done sir!

[@eddo00]

The sound at 19:33 was super cool.

[@alimuh007]

Has a very nice closing and secured sound that you can readily identify when coming and going

[@JeffGloverArts]

And just like that, good for another 200 years!

[@jodirauth8847]

Best made door for that spot ever.

[@heliojansen]

This new door will last 500+ years, congrats.

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

I just love your style man. You Sir, are an old school Renaissance Man.

[@saulreynoso8439]

One of the first KZbin channels I watched was back when you were in NYC turning discarded items into functional things, like old lumber into a NYC skyline bench.

[@markellis6886]

good -better -best -never let it rest until your good is gooder and your better is best.

[@BigsexyBMF]

Watching you videos is what got me into "making" years ago. I'm a barber by trade, but now I have a single car garage filled with old (some new) woodworking tools, a welder and plenty of projects that I am proud to say "I made that"! Thanks Jimmy!

[@jimmydiresta]

Hahaha awesome thank You 😊

[@BigsexyBMF]

@@jimmydiresta Thank you!

[@chaoticlogic588]

We know that section of the house is supported for another hundred years. Awesome job.

[@theJonnymac]

i think its so awesome your cats have a doorman.

[@MisterJDagger]

I love the subtle xylophone when hammering in the set nails for the door frame. Gave me a little smile on a Monday lunch break, thanks.

[@springsy6210]

these are my favorite diresta projects.

[@HandyManDan723]

I had to rewatch 19:33 a few times. The pitch increasing as the nail was driven in was sooooo satisfying!

[@polytzai]

Amazing work and "Diresta" is history 👏🏻!

[@fred-san]

Ok for 200... Congrat's as ever Mr.

[@michellezenner]

I live in earthquake country. I cant thank you enough for the metal shoring to the exit near that facade or real stone wall. Woot! Lemmie outta here!

[@donaldpowell7762]

This is so cool! You make difficult stuff like this look easy enough for me to do myself… even though I don’t have a welder, metal band saw, or a basement.

[@MoggiesTen]

I love your assistants!

[@billboy7390]

Very impressive. You make it look so easy and only took 20 minutes plus the time to edit the video.

[@joe5938]

When I'm doing a project that looks old I like to take a torch to the zinc hardware until it gets red hot. It leaves it with a black patina that can be waxed, lacquered or just left to rust. It's an easy way to come up with some old looking hardware.

[@yellowmuginc]

I'm so glad the house didn't fall and now is re-supported with a one of a kind! Looks great👊🏼

[@johncware66]

LOL “When your door is a structural element of the building “

[@thehumbleairgunner750]

I’m so glad you opened and closed the door (40 times) as I don’t know they did that. 😂👍

[@roberthodge7802]

men of few words are a delight. The door says everything. Capital!

[@rack55you]

Frankly, Jimmy, you are now living my dream. A wonderful workshop and beautiful kittens, well done work

[@danlarson2102]

Great work as always, condolences to your brother and his family

[@juanjoserios5565]

Me agrada ver a este amigo,me recuerda a mi tío Pancho" entran,a todo le hacen,chambones pero aguerridos. Felicidades..

[@modifiedG54B]

The handsaw toss was best part

[@geemac7267]

Shouldn't have to worry about any basement break ins. That is solid.

[@FilamentFriday]

Awesome project. Now build a workshop down there and you’ll have your original NY workspace back …haha.

[@samvittoria9692]

DANG ! That looks great. Works good with the stone.

[@Dobbo2958]

You've managed making a cellar door interesting, well done. I wish you, your family and colleagues a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Thank you so much for all your video's.

[@clydereed1890]

Definitely my new favorite.

[@fattammano]

Amazing…like “DIRESTA Classic” 😍😍

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Great project. Hats off to the video editor, excellent production.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you!! And thank you again 😇

[@ColdWarVet607]

Old World Craftsmanship Produces Old World Charm!!

[@SciPunk215]

That's a step or two up from the Home Depot. Well done! I think I've seen enough Diresta videos to know when Jimmy is saying "thank YOU", just by how he throws material around.

[@jimmydiresta]

🤣👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@lethalanthrax]

The sound at 19:33 was so satisfying

[@Gravedigger81]

For a moment I thought we were back in NYC. Awesome door, should last another 200!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

(Remember your videos when you spoke back to the Trolls? Those were good fun........as they all are). super video!

[@apenza4304]

Nice door that should strengthen the rubble foundation. Opening and closing the doors for our six cats makes me feel like a doorman in a cathouse.

[@pmcmva]

Love this one. Love old doors.

[@williamspeedy8445]

It's always great to watch you create

[@masterofnone]

Soon your house will have every door custom built by you. Great work as usual. One day I'll come to walk through all those doors.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Looks really nice with these stone walls!

[@bernardmichele2264]

Beautiful work of art.

[@alexold8183]

So cool, can learn something new in every one of your videos. Thanks

[@chicagovasko]

We go from wood working to medal forging in 2.2 seconds. Love it.

[@davidgibson9866]

Well who doesn’t appreciate that….great video 😃

[@davebauerart]

Good for another 200 years. Nice work building it to fit in the with style of an old house. Interesting how a flea market find from years ago finally was just the right part.

[@yuragregori69]

У Диресты все как всегда на высоте :)))

[@albvscommesincastello6346]

you gonna love all of the rust in the upcomming years :)

[@optimus.KracinskiDariusz]

A nice surprise and a gift at the time of Advent. 👏Good luck and happiness to all. 🎁 Warm greetings from Berlin 🙂

[@michaeld954]

your Minecraft skills are next level

[@robertf6344]

Man, I sure like that ! And the cats love it too.

[@nationwideofficial7201]

Strong and Beautiful door

[@jaisoncarvalho86]

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cecilgore495]

Awesome absolutely Awesome, you are truly gifted.

[@billparrish4385]

Considering all the amusing reveal shots, this could be called the Diresta Pet Door.... 😎 Seriously, wonderful piece of craftsmanship. Should easily go another 200 years.

[@mm9773]

Reminds me: I need to fix my cellar door. I’ll get to it in the Summer.

[@mrpassion242]

I am just discovering you show and channel and I am very impressed thus far. I will definitely do more research and watch more shows.

[@pitsnipe5559]

That is one wicked door!

[@DanStone1025]

Always impressed with the quality of your work.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you! 👊🏼

[@carlroge]

cool beans

[@MattGratt]

Loving the heavy duty industrial style of that door.

[@chekymonkey4452]

now that is a different way to fix a frame . I never would have thought of that in a million years nice one

[@ebat-kopat-tj2ef3ve2r]

Hello . I look at your work with pleasure. Very good. Hello from Russia

[@stanislaw1986]

The different items you make really show off your skill and versatility as an artisan. The stuff you make is just so incredibly beautiful...its functional art at its finest! Nothing but mad respect for your skill and creativity!

[@dennisdownes9319]

For the hundredth time........here's a Jimmy video I'm not interested in watching. 5 Minutes Later....OMG!!! That is SO COOL!!! I love this video!! DD

[@simonosborne3047]

Love how the Little Crew follow you around 😀

[@chicagovasko]

Man when he pulled back the card board I was like wow wait a min. That's a treasure.

[@jeffreyspilker2209]

Wow jimmy. Very nice job love the blacksmith work. Should last quite a long time.

[@Steelcrafted]

I love the band saw flip, the grinder throws, the best way to feed the trolls!! Lol!! 😆🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@marcuscicero9587]

unique anchoring system. fine lookin door. can not beat metal frame. thanks for the visit

[@joaquingarridotaboada3410]

Fantastic Work Jimmy, thank you for share.

[@jgclark45]

Love that handle!

[@mrdddeeezzzweldor5039]

This cellar entrance looks eerily similar to one which I had started a very similar door replacement for but never finished - now I see how it could have gone! In particular, your welded pin-into-foundation mounting scheme is a simple yet very effective manner of attachment and one which I had not imagined for my build. Excellent concept and build. I too am a fan of boiled linseed oil for some of my wood projects.

[@ronedge3086]

This is one of my favorite projects you have ever done. I can watch this over and over.

[@murphymmc]

Great build, good for another couple hundred years and more. Using steel with wood is genius.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Fantastic build, I love the rustic feel with stone walls and the lever mechanism is lovely. The best part is the cats passing through 😍

[@Realm-of-Horror]

Impressive handywork!

[@smedoz]

I remember back in the day when all of JD’s tools were painted white. Nice to see manufacturers finally showing the love to someone who has spent a lot of time and effort showing us his methods.

[@funnyguy3D]

the cats following you around were adorable

[@funnyguy3D]

also they assisted with much needed door testing!

[@vojtechnehasil4961]

Nice work. Another guy with many talents. Looks funny how you throw with tools and don't mess with anything. :D
