✔ DiResta Cannon 2.0

[@RonanC]

Most people would assume the footage is sped up to make the video less boring. What they don't realize is that jimmy actually works at these speeds and made the whole cannon in 15 minutes.

[@haydenbritt1237]

Bro Kapi seems legit

[@hawjeye78]

Bro Kapi sorry buddy but you’re WRONG! Jimmy works much faster! This video and his others are played in slow motion cause the average human eye can’t keep up with his awesomeness!!!

[@cosmic2914]

[@cosmic2914]

Seriously you believe what you are saying?

[@Pau_Pau9]

But dude, I like it boring! He should play at actual speed for more boring action! ;)

[@graememellor8319]

Here in Australia the Army Apprentices used to make a canon as part of their trade training, it's great to see these skill still exist, love the channel.

[@davidbergaragonzalez5653]

I wish to one day have at least half of the tools this guy has. A big workshop all to myself. That is my dream.

[@ckm-mkc]

You should just do it - many years ago I started having a workshop when I was totally broke. Many years later and I have something comparable to Jimmy's.

[@davidbergaragonzalez5653]

I just got my first job recently so I am saving money. I built a workbench and a loft bed/desk (out of 2x4s) but that is it. But I have some fun projects in mind.

[@condragon1043]

The rule of thumb is you always need a new tool every job you do 😉

[@PhillMagGamerDad]

I don't want or need ALL the tools.........just the lathe and mill.

[@robertgiovannani2455]

Turning with a razor blade. I've never seen that one. Jimmy Diresta just does whatever the hell he wants and it's awesome.

[@art1muz13]

BOY , DID I EVER HIT THE VIDEO JACKPOT. THREE NEW VIDS, I'VE NOT SEEN ANY OFF JIMMY'S WORK FOR MONTHS . WHAT A REFRESHING MOMENT AND AS USUAL GREAT WORK JIMMY.

[@absolutetuber]

glad you created these in the traditional manner. nice to see how they were made back in the day when they were used

[@chicagovasko]

hey Jimmy I used you as a reference to get a job at Dickies BBQ. I wish you a good day bud.

[@chrisfearing2973]

[@ThisOldTony]

awwwwyeah that thing is a beaut! quick tip for fewer chips-in-the-beard: flip tool upside down, spin lathe backwards.

[@jimmydiresta]

This Old Tony ahhhhhhh yes!!! Thank you !

[@karenlaughing3530]

absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you handmake this beautiful cannon and then to see it and the others fire. Just takes your breath away. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@WilliamLutesMaker]

I was a maintenance man in a machine shop for quite a few years. I always saw the machinist' using a razor blade that way but it never occurred to me they were detailing the part. Bad Azz brother, as always :-)

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

Best build yet Jimmy. Hope the visitors at NYCCNC appreciated it. Cheers from Australia. Aaron.

[@DRIFTWORKSINC]

Anybody notice the frame of the cannon wasn't square? It was 3 wheeling. Great Job JImmy, never cease to amaze with your work

[@b3nsb3nz]

Never saw anyone using a boring bar on a metal lathe like it was a turning tool on a wood lathe, and then you started using a razor wow! That's one way to just get it done, nice! Nice to meet you at the open house too.

[@InfamousDoktorJackal]

Just when I think I'm going to relax and be lazy this weekend I see one of your videos. Now I'm all inspired and I have an uncontrollable urge to do something productive. Well guess I'm going to the hardware store in the morning.

[@xrookie650]

Cool video. I like the combination of precision and artistry in your lathe work.

[@mattnobrega6621]

What a beauty. Firing up that glory cannon made me so excited. MERICA!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Lovely design!!

[@SamFWheatley]

I've just finished making my own cannon as a university project in England. I used chemiwood to turn it but in separate pieces, then mould and cast in fiberglass. I do love the way you were able to turn this all in one go. It looks incredible!

[@Mekratrig]

Amazement at the mix of oldar and newar technologies used. Envy for the skills, tools and shops, tempered with delight for a new Diresta video. Hat is off.

[@ta2ed5150]

the craftsmanship you put in all your work is awsome

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear JimmyDiResta. Extremely well done showing very fine and precise craftsmanship. Even more fantastic that the very good taped video didn't content any blablabla or not fitting or bad or too loud music. Just a little working background sound. Completely perfect in my opinion! Congrats. Thanks a lot for sharing. Best regards.

[@Sonal_Mobile]

I like how this cannon shows your progression as a maker, using new tools to make a familiar project :)

[@energyboy5696]

uploaded on my birthday, an update to my favorite build! how did I miss this???

[@matthegedus6513]

Badass cannon follow up Jimmy. I like how you welded the steel C to the allthread and THEN cut the center away. That was a smart move!

[@YourOldDog]

The red finger tips damn near put me on the floor LOL Nice job as usual !!

[@gotmunchiez]

Nice! There's something really satisfying about watching all the component parts being assembled

[@rickvanhooren548]

Wow..using the back of a knife blade to polish brass on a lathe.... You've got some sick skills Mr.!!

[@HeathKnuckles_Tasty_Timber]

Awesome build Jimmy! 🤘👌👍

[@RollerPigg]

Quite possibly the most awesome thing you've made thus far.

[@N1RKW]

Beautiful work, sir! Very nicely done indeed.

[@AfricanSouthernCross]

I wanted to say this was one of your best but then there is the canoe, the toolbox, the winesafe, ok they all great, lol.

[@jasperrogers7887]

you looked much more comfortable making this one. Great job

[@kkendall99]

Epic, I've seen most of your videos are you Sir are an industrial artist.

[@HawksleySummerson]

Awesome! There's something for everyone in this video. A bit of turning, a bit of milling, a bit of Cnc... what more could you ask for? Good one Jimmy!

[@sampickett3843]

A work of art that shoots cannon balls! I loved the video and he great craftsmanship.

[@sgribb02]

Really enjoyed this build... you are a serious artist sir!

[@franksmodels29]

Very nice work, the steel carriage adds a nice touch to things..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gorillaprocustoms]

Amazing work.

[@ezknife9366]

No doubt this is a piece of art,bravoo Jimmy.

[@TheMuzShop]

Great job Bro. Something about cannons.... they are simply cool. Fun video to watch. Thx

[@davidduffy9806]

A joy to watch, every frame a pleasure! Thank you so very much. David

[@tomalcolm]

This puts the 3D-print-a-gun worry into perspective for me. Also, Ronald MacDonnald wants his hands back.

[@thescatologistcopromancer3936]

Smoothbore guns are more or less unregulated. If you want to machine a cannon that launches javelins go for it

[@MattTester]

Great work. Interesting that you had to tidy up the wheels, I had never thought of CNC plasma cutting being inaccurate before but I suppose that's the nature of cutting by an arc like that.

[@harrykelly4651]

It's because he welded 2 separate pieces together

[@sjbl1962]

Cool build, also, just watched the white oak tool box build, nice build.

[@nt1zeux]

Excellence in a nutshell. I really enjoy your creativity

[@TheMusketMan98]

This guy NEEDS!!! to make a life size one that would be awesome.

[@chilelindo21]

una cosa más genial que la otra, es increíble tu talento jimmy, siento una profunda admiracíon por el trabajo que realizas, por más que intento seguirte, creo que tu nivel de perfección es inalcanzable, aún así, te sigo a morir y te agradezco que nos compartas tu arte!!.. saludos desde chile hermnano!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yadabotbingo]

As if turning metal wasn't already cool enough, then you go and make something that fires large projectiles. Beautiful work. That had to be fun to make as much as firing it. It sure is pretty, and it's only going to get better looking with age.

[@Dobry69]

Great build, awesome approach

[@rudyduee6849]

Encore une fois, j' admire votre savoir faire ! Et votre outillage est au top, je suis jaloux, sans aucune animosité bien sûr ! Bien au contraire !

[@ibuildedthat2344]

Lovely cannons... Looks like you guys had some fun shooting them off.

[@ferris5150]

one of the most beautiful things you've made. You're an absolute master!

[@atrueamerican648]

The skill this man has wow

[@joeventura1]

Incredible work Jim!!

[@notjoeking9035]

Greetings from Michigan, videos like this is why I'm subscribed, thanks for the inspiration!

[@coldbloodedfasist5536]

very beautiful job! I'really like the use of brass and soldering...just awesome, very satisfying to watch!

[@MarcosThunder]

That is awesome! Great to see the whole process, thanks for the video Jimmy!

[@EfrainSuarezII]

OUTSTANDING bang bang you made!

[@danmccullough2786]

been following this one on insta and I'm still amazed. thanks for all the inspiration

[@michaelsepe5426]

A LOT OF WORK >>>>>>> ELEGANT BUT STRONG AND POWERFUL >>>>> THANK YOU SIR

[@opasworkshop8373]

beautiful Canon Jimmy sounded great. you are the man brother.

[@austinjohnson3794]

The hand razor work is insane

[@NJFLIPPER]

That is a Beautiful piece of Artwork!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

[@rasmusb2523]

Damn, did I just see Jimmy protect his ways while using abrasives on the lathe? Hat's is off to you mate, keep that machine going for a good long while and avoid those abrasives on the ways.

[@ProjectRecon1]

You continue to amaze Jimmy keep up the great work!! Can't wait to meet you some day and chop it up !!

[@barryosbigiron9494]

That was a hell of a trick with the razor blade for the surface finish.

[@ill_Barrett]

Italian Style. Di Resta never fails

[@Chauxz]

I love how his tag is on every freakn object he uses or in his workshop!

[@ro_yo_mi]

Just look at all that brass. Chris at ClickSpring would be proud.

[@mackzx6r1]

So cool Jimmy. Love your work

[@lollandz]

Diresta is extremely creative IMO

[@ΧρήστοςΠέτσας-π8φ]

Wtf! This is totally crazy! Respect...

[@adamyorke7869]

Oh man, do I need a metal lathe. Awesome job, Jimmy.

[@johnmartlew5897]

So glad we got to see them on the firing line!

[@igaveyouonejob7859]

Are you kidding me?! Jimmy that's awesome!

[@norm1124]

Impressive plasma cutting!

[@gregm1775]

Man I love your style of video taping what fun watching your skill in such a unique way. Too cool

[@Joe_Sant]

Brilliant work Jimmy..

[@EdSchneeebly]

For Cannon 3.0, try rifle the bore, I think that would be a nice little challenge and a pretty awesome upgrade! Great stuff as usual man

[@OneArmedGraphics2]

Stunningly gorgeous on the lathe

[@slantsix6344]

Amazing stuff! I would bet that you would get lots of requests from classic car museums to make rare parts that no one sells anymore.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

Excellent work! A thing of beauty!

[@alanlove6022]

Can't wait to see DiResta's new bike.

[@geriko29]

Clean and amazing work!

[@mprice7676]

I really really enjoy watching your milling videos (I enjoy all of your videos actually), but something about watching metal go from dirty and dull to brought and shiney!

[@americanpatriot2979]

After watching a few of your videos, I'm gonna be looking for a lathe. Awesome Video!

[@alladinandarilhobrazuca6357]

Amazing! Extraordinary work!

[@dcox01]

Pure art Jimmy.

[@wjst3124]

beautiful work as always.

[@Traderjoe]

Beautiful! I want to see stuff get hit by a cannonball! Like a 55 gallon drum of sawdust or shavings!

[@cebbolla4629]

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

Jimmy Diresta, The new chuck Norris. Using wood lathe tools on a metal lathe to turn brass!

[@junc1630]

Jimmy, your friend from the Philippines. Amazing work and video, as usual!

[@jeroenr4524]

dude you rock, finally some music, and the right one too. awesome

[@Stephen1455]

Jimmy if you have air supply which you do, try a cold air gun, on manual milling you can really take good cuts and drill with no messy oils, it's not too loud either?

[@GMNM1]

Kabooommmm!!! Good job, Jimmy!.

[@s4n714g000]

Never thought a cannon could be so pretty.

[@JuggerKnaught76]

My dad had one made on a lathe and it doesnt even compare with the beauty of this magnificant cannon

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Lethality in its full beauty, magnificent in its lines & proportions & strangely fascinating & a little disturbing how one is drawn to its curves & burning flames of shot & kinetic kill.

[@10223220]

Nice job,that lathe looks the lathe I have is it a south bend? Also love the razor blade trick going to give it a try. To keep brass from hitting your face run your lathe in reverse with the tool upside down only if your chuck is not threaded on other wise the chuck will unscrew.

[@dipinsyrup]

you are the man... never disappoint
