✔ DiResta Glass & Steel

[@timsway]

I made a piece almost identical to this about a year ago in all steel (right down to the CA glue magnetic latches. Difference is I made the cabinet first, then had to fit the doors to it. This makes so much more sense. Thank you.

[@bengreen6955]

Rochester native here, so I’m a little bias. I’m at a crossroads right now, seriously debating getting into wood working or metalworking. I’m a cult follower of both Frank Howarth (wood) and Jimmy Diresta. After months of debating, this project is my tipping point. Thank you Jimmy.

[@jzz1502]

Anyone who dislike this just doesn't understand this type of work. Been doing it for over 30 year's. Love it.

[@BigFreakinTexan]

This thing is still going to be in service 100 years from now. What a beast! Love it, Jimmy!

[@servicemancba]

jimmy you are by far the most creative dude in the planet. we need you. great idea and ejecution .

[@UnorthodoxFabrication]

The broad range of items you make astounds me. I like seeing your unorthodox approach. Thanks for sharing.

[@zepplinkin]

Good to see a good ole fashioned metal working video from jimmy!!!!!

[@Kato1584YT]

One of my favorite projects you have done so far!

[@jimmydiresta]

+Kato1584 YT thank you 😊

[@hmmob3956]

At the end of each jimmydiresta video ... a big smile on my face.

[@variantcovers2184]

Man, I love it. There is two persons who gave me the desire to quit my job and do my stuff, my grandfather and you, I'm still learning things from you, and I'm working at my grandfather old shop. Thank you for that.

[@jimmydiresta]

Variant Covers awesome!!! Thank you

[@Retroweld]

Using plywood to square up the doors is a pretty slick idea. I wouldn't have thought of that. Very cool build Jimmy.

[@jimmydiresta]

having metal and wood together gives you a different perspective..thank you bro .. for this and lucky support xo

[@charliewinch2849]

jimmydiresta why haven't you learned how to weld yet? still messy but... a lovely build tho :)

[@1pcfred]

Maybe because Jimmy is not just a welder?

[@charliewinch2849]

Paul Frederick it was fair criticism! I wasn't having ago but he's been welding for years, he should of got a better by practising or the loads of followers/ coworkers who could show him a trick or two. anyway I wasn't trolling I was just giving my opinion not criticising his work... he does make some really cool stuff :)

[@Retroweld]

Charlie Winch Oh he can weld. I've seen his work. 👍

[@adrienchiron]

For me it's probably your most beautiful production! Technical and aesthetic. Very very very nice! Congrats !!!!!!

[@mrturtleturtle877]

These videos are soooo satisfiying to watch.

[@richb313]

Quite a project. It looks great. You metal Fabrication has really improved and it shows. You nailed the proportions. Great work Jimmy.

[@abhinavmailing]

Probably the first time I am seeing a cabinet build from doors up....great one

[@MrTolcher]

What a masterpiece that thing is! I can see this lasting for generations. beautiful work Jimmy

[@theworldofjohn1972]

I liked how you used steel and wood! Another Diresta original!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Those windows look amazing! You do things differently and try out new stuff. That is always great inspiration for my own projects! Thank you!

[@thomasutley]

Best build in a while, Jimmy. They're all great, but this one really lit my fire to get started welding.

[@jimmydiresta]

thank you!

[@Tom_Err]

This is a cool piece of furniture! Steel and glass fit together perfectly

[@lagzieRPG]

I don't plan to make anything but these videos are so satisfying to watch

[@cherylgoode4160]

I just love the cabinet you made can't wait to see your next project

[@jimmydiresta]

+Cheryl Goode thank you 😊

[@walkermayer2666]

Love the build. Really enjoy how you use a variety of materials in your various projects. You are the Renaissance man of the modern world.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Awesome work jimmy, such a sleek design, liked the hinges you used.

[@beyond2600]

My lord this piece is a masterpiece, Mr. Diresta. Thanks for making my evening a little more enjoyable.

[@charlotteandavril]

[@alsmith1025]

This came out gorgeous. Nice work. And the final finish on the metal is awesome.

[@Mullicamanufactory]

[@ErikGilling]

I like the cable "hooks" that hang on the side of the welder! Imma gunna make some this weekend.

[@nosferatu49426]

I like all the different angles from the band saw. :)

[@nosferatu49426]

That's an incredible cabinet. Nice work.

[@VikingShorts]

Love to see it in it's space. Great work Jimmy.

[@theVonThompsons]

Von Thompson Tinker haha tx brother!

[@ConstructIcon]

I really like the look & feel of this piece! Those hinges are pretty dope as well. Good stuff!!

[@aintgonnahappen]

So beautiful. Excellent, excellent build brother.

[@bernardtynan7473]

Not only a great process but a beautiful finished piece too :-)

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

I love the look ! Nice build Jimmy

[@nickkolodziej4464]

This inspires me to go to college to be a welder thanks Jimmy

[@Bonkerhead1995]

Added this to my favourites! I'm a welder and I'm building all new furniture for my apartment. this is a great design inspiration for me thankyou and great work! always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@frankkelly2245]

Awesome job Jimmy, bullet hinges great choice.

[@JemZart]

Awesome work, love how clean those doors close.

[@IlCacciatore66]

ciao jimmy, grandissimo bel lavoro. . . . it is ever a pleasure to look your jobs AL

[@MattTester]

I'm interested in why you chose TIG over MIG for the first outer frame, is it stronger or was it just for the fun of it?

[@BradleyMakesThings]

That came out awesome, Jimmy! I know you mentioned in the vlog you weren't happy with the hinges but honesty the overall piece is just excellent! Great job!

[@roadstead2220]

True craftsmanship and Strong work ethic! And i thought those skill sets were long gone....

[@elbob248]

That's it. I'm going to sharpen my welding skills. Killer build Mr. D.

[@pablomiguel9501]

vc é fera cara, admiro seu trabalho faz anos...

[@grenouille6186]

quand tu arrives pas à dormir et qu'il est 3h du matin et ba tu regardes Jimmy thank ;)

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

Well, that cabinet won't be moving on its own! Came out great! Had to reread your discription: almost asked what it was made for. LOL.

[@Docdaugh]

Excellent...you make it look soooo easy!

[@TheWoodLab]

Such a cool look on this. Great build Jimmy. - Jim

[@BigHayes7771]

That vac for fume collection is just cute

[@Chen8126]

3 questions. 1. Will you add handles to make opening the doors easier? 2. Did you only glue in the windows? 3. Was the reinforced glass more for look or function?

[@jimmydiresta]

+Chen8126 maybe. Yes. Both.

[@northjerseykevin3915]

Awesome, I noticed you don't grind the mill scale off. I'm always torn on that step. The patina I use doesn't take unless I do. I'll have to look into the product you used. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

[@ProtoG42]

Is it weird that I watch your video on x2 speed even though they're already sped up? Great job!

[@eddiealexander2485]

Nice work. love watching all your work. It is inspiring.

[@FishyBoi1337]

I love all of your videos, keep up the good work!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful cabinet, awesome finish!

[@rob_boss]

serious question, just curious if having the shopvac sucking at the weld, wouldn't that distort or eliminate the shielding gas and possibly affect the weld?

[@lancesimcox6348]

Nice job, love the contrast in materials 👍🏻

[@jzz1502]

Please share the different ways of staining and products you use as far as staining. Your my favorite

[@TheMowerMan82]

very nice! love the finish that birtchwood gives the metal.

[@johnnylove-lace4153]

Been watching TRASH TO CASH and HAMMERED.. clever stuff there Jimmy as usual.

[@ReaperWoodworks]

That thing is AWESOME Jimmy. Nice work. Keep them coming.

[@jimmymack9440]

Nice. Interior lighting would look cool 😎

[@timothyrye1865]

I'm curious. I've seen a number of people use stick welding, but you seem to use mig and tig welding exclusively. What goes into the decision to use one welding technology over another?

[@c.brooks7199]

lots of time and effort in this one Jimmy !!! Great Job...as always !!!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Love the glass in this one!

[@songokusevil]

How much does it weigh?

[@moyerjoss13]

Gorgeous build Jimmy.

[@jdbrewer6638]

Awesome video! I'm really impressed with finished project and the steps you took in fabricating. Couple of slick tricks in there!! Thanks for the video. Good job and great metalwork!!

[@internet146]

looks like something you could lock up. You mentioned you don't like the welds on the hinges. How often do you go back and make slight changes to projects?

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Stunning!

[@MrCoaster36]

Hope Jimmy is still checking comments for this video. I'm not a welder so it maybe obvious but what is the purpose of using tig on for some of the welds and mig for the others?

[@IntoTheDirtshop]

awesome build man! what blade tooth are you using on your bandsaw?

[@ansiaaa]

I really love your metal and wood furniture

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

So all of his furniture?

[@DOCDARKNESSREAL]

Great video Jimmy - looks like a knife collection cabinet to me👍

[@PKedByBlade]

easily one of my favorite builds... nice as always jimmy

[@RyanBarnes]

Jimmy, it's always fun to recognize a past project/video from the scraps and things used in another. For instance, the bit around 2:45, the table you're sanding on was used for your tool tote. Awesome stuff. Been a subscriber for a long time, love your project videos so much!

[@periodcraftsmen]

Great video! I learned a lot which is key and sometimes rare these days!

[@mattetten]

Cool project! Love the glass!!!

[@TeachNoBS]

No handles? I like the clean look. Just wondering if you're going to add them in later

[@torch02]

What's your process for choosing when to MIG & when to TIG?

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

How much did that weigh when you were done? Came out great! 🤓👍🏼

[@MrJanZko]

Omg. Thats just plain beautiful. Wish I could too

[@tonyozimek2116]

great build, add that to my wish list!

[@254JROCK]

The Industrial look is so cool

[@lbcustomknives]

Looks great that Jim really like it. Take care and have a great Christmas. Lee

[@PaskMakes]

Awesome! Thanks for some steel project inspiration!
