DiResta | Floating Nightstands Project

[@marceaton3128]

Very nice build Jimmy, love that dado set. And to all those watching who subscribe to JImmy's channel and are looking forward to seeing the new shop be built and getting a chance to attend a class or two. Don't just hit the like button, go to Patreon or send a few dollars to Jimmy to help him build the dream shop. It would be really nice to say you had a hand in building the shop and giving back to Jimmy who gives so much of himself to us for free. I do this on my own and Jimmy didn't ask me to do it. I have met his brother John and spent a few days with him. These are some great people. Thanks.

Nice work Jimmy. So true about milling up a little extra "just in case" you need it deep into the project. It is such a pain in the rear when you have to stop and mill extra wood during a build. And Thank You to Rockler for supporting Jimmy. You support Jimmy, and I will support you. Deal? Deal.

[@jimmydiresta]

Eric Rusch Sr thank you !!

[@jimmydiresta]

Third!!! Thank you Rockler!!

[@totallyhammeredwoodworks2546]

jimmydiresta hey jimmy do you fond the price of that dado stack to be worth it?

[@StavrosGakos]

Great job Jimmy!

[@jimmydiresta]

Totally Hammered Woodworks just takes one good well-placed well price job and you got it covered

[@EcoMouseChannel]

While this dado stack is cool and all... the set is pricey for the regular home guy who's not profiting off their creations. And I get that. However, just because this dado stack is the new kid in town, let's not forget about the Lock Mitre Router Bit. Creates the same edge profile, even works on ply and 1/3rd the price. That being said, I would totally use Andy Klein's creation. I like the origami aspect of using a single sheet. However, I do not have a Table Saw in my shop, and no plans on getting one. I prefer to use my Track Saw. I do have a shaper table however, and love my Lock Mitre Bit!

[@jasonwall2512]

Saw a video a while ago when these dado stacks were first developed. I am glad to see the guy got it into production. Have made a few apothecary cabinets with upwards of 40 drawers. This might be a winner.

[@MichaelLawing]

Thanks, Rockler, for supporting great artists like Jimmy!

[@eliebitton6196]

Another great build where I learn a lot from you. This time is was the use of splines. I was working on a project wondering if I should use dowels etc... then I saw this video. Splines worked great and are very simple. Thanks for being an inspiration.

[@MrDwaynePoff]

Wow...if only I could do HALF the stuff you do!! Another great build & video!

[@borocovs]

I'm a long time Rockler customer, and it's about time they sponsored Jimmy!!!

[@markbaker9459]

Your modesty isn't at all a problem and your end result shows a very well thought out project . It isn't the tools that make the fine result but your planning that makes the result !

[@MrColinALewis]

Thank you Mr DiResta and thank you Rockler for supporting Mr DiResta. I'm just starting to make things after being inspired by the DiResta library of videos. I even bought my first table saw. These videos are changing the way that I look at things. I've alway struggled c creativity but these episodes and the "Making It" podcast have taught me to exercise that part of my brain. They've introduced me to another world. It's therapeutic. Thank you!

[@cosmicrayastrophysics7839]

The knots add so much charm, interest and character and for years I have tried to cut them out. Everyone of your videos has something useful for me. Thanks

[@cvh627]

this is on the to do list for me, so it was great to see how you went about it. Those bandy clamps seem pretty useful.

[@robertwolinski7294]

Beautiful night stands. The mitered corners on everything are very sharp looking, as in quality not injury risk. looking forward to seeing them mounted by the quality bed frame you built.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Those turned out great. That dado stack is crazy cool. I want one!

[@bsbshhhahga6647]

Ok💟👍❤️💚♥️💜💛💛

[@bsbshhhahga6647]

Hello

[@automaticprojects]

Terrific video. After years of watching Jimmy's silent builds, it's really a pleasure to listen to him describe what he's doing and why. I'm also at Rockler once or twice a week so I'm very glad to see them supporting my favorite KZbin artists.

[@sik59rt]

Mark Moran you should watch his core77 videos then. He narrates them all

[@user-zp5vt1tu6b]

the knot in the wood acts kinda like an ode to a standard drawer pull. I like it!

[@BoomerKeith1]

Awesome! Love the dado folding set from Rockler! Talk about making it look easy, I might even be able to look like I know what i'm doing with that set!

[@TranTheClever]

I’ve never seen a floating shelf made this way, I love it! Thank you for all the woodworking tips, great for beginners like me. 3:23

[@jamartin1]

Very good, I love your approach/style of making things!!💜🙏💜 you inspire me!!

[@SpeedysWoodshop]

That folding joint is crazy cool!!!

[@mikeslayden2349]

Love the detail you put into making the waterfall effect. Great work man

[@tiffanyjohnson3110]

Rocklers lucky to have you Jimmy. Beautiful job as always.

[@SeanFoushee]

These turned out great. Loved that you didn't put in knobs/pulls, and those knots add a great character. Really interested in Andrew's dado stack, will need to keep it in mind when I embark on building all new vanities and remodeling the kitchen. Thanks Rockler and Jimmy for the video.

[@Socalcheeze]

thank you rockler for incorporating or sponsoring this talented fella. great project and relatable.

[@OriginalRedneckRomeo]

you remind me a lot of my high school art teacher joe pfannensteil. the way you just.....flow...through your work. it's extremely inspiring

[@MarcosThunder]

Hey Jimmy, I know you don't like to talk on the videos, but they are the coolest ones.

[@pegroj]

Thank you for showing this incredible work with wood, the idea of ​​leaving the nodules was very good :D

[@jasonstanley9306]

great project, thanks Jimmy. I love the waterfall grain match. Very sharp!

[@karlackdamack4238]

Great Build. I recently built a nightstand that came out really good but I'm now thinking these floating nightstands will be the trick. Mu bedroom is not very big so I think these would get me the storage I need and also make the room look bigger with the open floor space.

[@antonmessina5304]

Those drawers look great!!

[@woodscrew5612]

Awesome night stands! I have the same planer in my shop. Works great

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Twenty-seventh...! Lots of great tips in this build. I like how you screwed the cleats down for the glue up, and the thin sanding block was neat.

[@davestrain1762]

I think Taylor was right about the knots. Beautiful job Jimmy, these are polished! :)

[@decayer21]

Hey Jimmy. Love your vids man, thank you for making them. I've picked up a lot of tricks from watching. Here's a tip you might like to use. Whenever I have to glue up frames or box shapes, I use a ratchet strap(s) to wrap it after I spread all my glue. The minute it gets taught, the frame or box trues up pretty close and you can clamp in a square afterwards just for good measure. Cheers!

[@robinsheriffnlarsson]

Beautiful work! I really liked the groove underneath instead of using handles, sharp!

[@christopherkouri2317]

Spot on spectacular! Another very enjoyable build to watch and inspiring as always to a novice woodworker...thank you!

[@dismayer666]

beauty :) I like it when you don't see any legs. It gives you a feeling of something special in a room.

[@scootr76]

Great Build. Thank you Rockler for supporting Jimmy DiResta. Keep up the great work.

[@abefrohman1759]

Very cool. I never cut out a knot. I either leave them as is or fill them with clear resin if I feel like it but I think it just makes your project unique.

[@Yannique1]

Wow, they are beautiful Jimmy...

[@AverageRetiredGeek]

Very nice work both on the nightstands themselves and the video! Your fast paced video with the voice over really, really works well!

[@jefferynichols2549]

Really liked this video Mr. Diresta. Im just finishing up a platform bedframe with storage, for our bedroom. And was wondering how to do the stands. This gives me ideas. Thanks again.

[@ranjdall]

Beautiful work jimmy

[@claterpult]

Those are great. They look like one big block of wood. beautiful

[@robertnoname9936]

Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@Skeptycal]

Very nice. Your work and art inspires me ... even a simple build has a special touch.

[@Joe_Sant]

Brilliant work Jimmy as always. Thanks for sharing it.

[@AB-nu5we]

'I don't have a jointer...' I just have a 6 in bench jointer, so I mostly end up using a No. 5 Jack plane (LN) for flattening lumber. Pretty quick with practice. We need to chip in and get you one Great project!

[@maheshchauhan9290]

Nice job and nicely edited with a humble voice over.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

With all the talent you have and have shown in your you tube channel I am amazed that you have not made yourself a full set of those angle irons?. Nice job with the splines.

[@alexpettigrew8971]

Nice technique mitering the drawer front!

[@fynbo1007]

Beautiful work done

[@RRBuildings]

So cool Jimmy

[@americosouza6199]

como sempre perfeito nos minimos detalhes e o DIResta o fera

[@aMarkMoses]

thank you so much for making your videos. I'm sure it takes much more time to set up the camera for all the shots you capture and then the editing.. so yeah, I really appreciate the great content!

[@lulufiedler9090]

amazing job !! Wish I have somebody like you close !!! great video !!!

[@MattFeith]

Man, when I saw these on your vlog I thought for sure they're be french cleat, but I like the way you did it - seems more secure.

[@EricEllenbrook]

agree 100%

[@BoomerKeith1]

I thought they were French cleat right up until the end, when he made the template.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

french cleat is over rated i think :D

[@tomahoks]

Too "deep" object for FC. Think about it.

[@MattFeith]

I agree. I think the only way a french cleat would have worked was if he put a screw into the wall keeping the cleat from lifting off, and the cleat was only there to distribute weight. I like the way it ended up being attached to the wall better than a french cleat anyhow...

[@m3rdpwr]

I've only been watching the DiResta channel a very short time, but you have some great projects.

[@holee9253]

Nice! Seems like a lot of work and time went into those

[@ryan31775]

Great job Jimmy - very unique design.

[@edmarkham2632]

Very nice. You make it look so easy.

[@richardshaw3094]

Beautiful work. Enjoyed the video

[@toodle171]

Really nice! I appreciate that you show some "oopsies" since that helps the rest of us when we get stuck on perfection...

[@Badgerworkshop]

I think the knots look great

[@diogo1037]

fantastico, perfeito. Gosto muito de ver os seu videos, me inspiro em vc sou um montador de moveis e nas horas vagas fico vendo seus videos e admirando sua abilidade com divesos materiais.

[@vtank81]

Nice work, as usual! I'm excited about the dado stack because it was just a guy in his shop with a great idea and the wherewithal to see it to market. Great job Andy Klein, and Rockler! (And, of course, Jimmy!)

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nice work Jimmy!

[@crazethedave]

very cool looking, I just bought the rockler sled and love it.

[@JunkWorkshop]

Beautiful pieces.

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

Nice job mate!! I really like the knots in the drawer fronts. That little bit of planned imperfection is perfect!!

[@jpk2742]

Very nice and good choice of material

[@st7650]

Only thing that would make this video better would be to have Alex Snodgrass in it with some carter products thanks for the post jimmy love your true woodworking videos

[@TaylorMicha]

Beautiful pieces! Love Jimmy's commentary too.

[@TeamProsperity]

Great video and project, nicely done ✅

[@richardmadsen115]

I am amazed by your creative nature, great skill, great imagination. Thank you.

[@dannewlon5825]

Using the sawdust to clean up the glue is a nice trick...Thanks.

[@PaskMakes]

Cool design! Came out really nice!

[@jameslamb4573]

Man, that dado stack makes short work of that kind of joint, nice! Do like the nightstands, well imagined and executed. Cheers

[@woodscrew5612]

That's a nice pair you gave rockler!!!!

[@judge9amr]

this is awesome!!! Walnut is my favourite wood at the moment..

[@jimchallender4616]

Such skill. Newbies like me can only dream of making stuff like this.

[@rodw]

Nice work Jimmy I bet they'll look even better in the master bedroom

[@ryanrich4596]

i really like those. well done.

[@jomorris1022]

We all will remember that the first made item is the learning one, and the rest are just getting better and better as the project progresses.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Nice blending of figure with the Knot!

[@brianmarcum4829]

love the knots...good choice saving them

[@jcs6347]

Great job Jimmy, they look great!

[@rogerjackway429]

Good job Jimmy!

[@WoodenCreationz]

Loved this video! Jimmy is a great guy with many talents!!!

[@jimmydiresta]

xoxox

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

I remember seeing the guy design the joint you used on the drawers. I never heard that it was picked up and made into a blade. Pretty cool.

[@RPSchonherr]

Billy Beane I think I saw a router set for doing that joint.

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

Robert Schuster the guy I saw layed out the joint by hand then did a 3d rendering g of a saw blade/shaper blade and that was the last I saw. nice to see it went into production as it gives more surface area and tested stronger than a half lap or biscuit joint

[@RobinCoomans]

yup, saw that too! Nice to see it in action.

[@charliemiller6401]

Andy Klein inventor

[@ColeAviation]

AWESOME work Jimmy!!! Love your work! 👍🏼

[@Ludwig4571]

brings a tear to my eye, good looking Sláinte

[@Hagg506]

You can never have enough clamps!! Nice work...

[@jofloresz]

"Why do I have so many clamps I'll never use them", said no one! Rockler your so smart this is the man!!

[@derekrife9214]

I agree with Taylor. Celebrate the knots!

[@rickoyler7395]

Thanks for the video. I am getting ready to build two floating night stand for a friend.

Beautiful Wood, fantastic work, thanks Jimmy!
