DiResta Light Box Sign

This is rush sign i was asked to make in 2 days for and indoor event in California. The face is made of lexan Plastic!
Because of the cold the glue was not drying fast enough to ship the sign... So i use 2/56 x .5" screws through the face to keep the pieces of frosted plastic in place. i was able to ship the sign with peace of mind. Off camera i did paint the screw heads.
Thank you to

I’ll never get sick of these videos!

[@jimmydiresta]

haha thank you brother!

[@RovingRushy]

Gday from down under. Thanks for doing another sign video, probably my favorites. Quick tip mate, if you spray your blade with cooking spray when cutting aluminum, you get a smoother cut and the material doesn't jump around too much. Especially when using a circular saw. All good mate, keep it up. Stevo

[@JeffGloverArts]

My lastest NEEDS: 1) CNC; 2) Some talent; 3) Set of tiny hands. I'll settle for a bottle of Bulleit (my favorite for the past few years). Thanks, Jimmy!

[@DavidPlass]

Classic DiResta! So happy to see both tiny hands and Jimmy at the bandsaw. :)

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous how the light above the led strips seems to come out of the letters, like it is supernatural as though it gives a glimpse into a brilliant reality that normally is forbidden to us. Thanks for sharing!

[@bhushanpai2176]

Why didn't you spray paint DIRESTA on the inside

[@FigmentsMade]

Very cool idea to make it look like metal! I love the "rivets" around the frame. They really make it work!

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I'm most impressed with how you can make something like this so quickly in your shop, where it would take me 9 trips the supply stores.

[@MikeGameKillaMGK]

I absolutely love the tiny hands 😁

[@hristoatanasov808]

Good work. Its always fun to watch what will be the next project.

[@april629]

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome work as always Jimmy!

[@steveborch6820]

Great video !!

[@TheLorkM]

Huge and cool 👍

[@citycitycitycorkcity]

All you need is a layer of tape on the far side and it will stop hop up of the small bits.

[@ricardo_mo]

Awesome as usual! Nice job!

[@BurtonsAttic]

Awesome faux rivets!

[@OneLittleHunter]

These little hands make me laugh every single time

[@madeinpernambuco683]

Ficou muito bom!! Mais uma vez um excelente trabalho, parabéns!!!

[@daviddangerous1580]

When did the log burner appear in the new workshop?

[@dong6839]

What are those little screws he drilled holes for around each letter toward the end? Not sure what they're for, but they kinda ruin the look of the sign, don't they?

[@MarcosLopez-hy3px]

Amazing!!! Sorprendente!!!!

[@battelinin]

That is slick! Why not have the cnc cut the perimeter too?

[@jonwills4670]

Oh geez, another sign build. Hahahaha. Just kidding. I’m an ass. Awesome looking! 👊🏻

[@orange-micro-fiber9740]

[@ragraphicsartsigncompany7245]

Please which Lazer machine company you are using

[@nikearth]

[@gomesmimoso]

Muito Bom, Muito Bonito. Parabéns!

❤top lével @jimmy

[@FlokrollProjects]

Make more signs

[@ShannonFargo]

Am I wrong for wanting to see a tiny pair of hands on sticks gripping the other set of tiny hands on sticks? Not for any safety reason, just because it would be a new level of orneriness.

[@Mularsky]

Diresta....

[@themechanic6117]

Because of the no audio you can pretty much watch his vids at 2x speed and take it all in without taking up too much of your time. #lifehack 😂

Watch your dowels...I mean fingers.

[@petegalvs]

How do you pronounce that name?

[@ajsironworks3937]

Still a craftsman in a rush.......wow. Mine would’ve looked like🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Jimmy, you better not let OSHA see you making your hired help have his hands that close to the router. Steve

[@budwoodman1716]

Those little hands are so creepy !!!!! I love it !!!

[@willford8475]

I thought Donald Trump was helping him.

[@ddsr86]

Reminds me of the SNL when they were making fun of Lawrence Welk

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

Is it just me or does it seem like Jimmy really likes making signs. I've been looking forward to this one, the pictures he already shared were pretty cool!

[@Aristocob]

He's good at it and they pay well while providing content for his channel. What's not to like?

[@kevindavy665]

I saw something with him on Ask This Old House where he said that he spent many years working in sign shops. I think it may have been one of his first jobs.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Stakman1-Stacey L when you think about it handmade signs are really cool. They are one of a kind, seen by thousands of people and used many many years. Who wouldn’t love making it!

[@AGlimpseInside]

I love the sign videos, always have, always will

[@masterofnone]

Watch the fingers. You are going to loose a tiny finger . You'll have to buy a new hand then

[@a0flj0]

I think he makes these hands.

[@baumerk1]

@@a0flj0 He can just go to a second hand store...

[@wtftom1974]

Nice job, great result. but I guess I don t understand the holes at the end? bulletholes?

[@madmen2505]

Tom van Leeuwen I think it was an afterthought because the glue was not holding the plexi. Best greetings from Berlin city

[@tomahoks]

RTFM, in this case the video description.

[@kennethgreer]

At first I was like, this isn't really the best quality sign I've seen Jimmy make. Then I read the description about it being a rush job, and it made total sense. It's a killer sign for that quick of a turn around. A skilled artisan like Jimmy can make such beautiful things, even in haste.

[@TheBeardedWoodworker]

Typically I don't mind the little hands....but they were pretty creepy in this video! Lol!

[@hawkeyestiguy]

The CNC part was hard to watch! I swear he was going to lose some fingers!!! Lol.

[@anthonythomas1735]

Great video, the finished product looked awesome! I totally love the format, that music made me want to jump up, clap my hands, shuffle my feet and marry my cousin!!

[@JunkWorkshop]

Love your signs videos but i will UNSUBSCRIBE because TROLLING is the new trend 😂

[@TheWoodWerker]

You probably won’t read this (but just in case..😜) Thank You so much for doing what you do! Sharing “Tricks of the Trade” is one of the MANY things you provide for us all, which is FREE content by the way! Much Love Brother! ❤️Have A Super Week!.....Gus

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

We love these sign videos, that looks fantastic! What adhesive did you use to glue the acrylic rivets to the aluminum frame?

[@blitzburghbilly7813]

YO PASCUA, ...... I THINK YOUR (STICK 🖐🏼🤚🏼 HANDS) NEED & COULD USE SUM (FLANNEL SLEEVES with CUFFS) JIMMY... JUST A SUGGESTION HERE FOR YOU TO PONDER 🤔 ON MAN... & ANOTHER AWESOME PROJECT AZ ALWAYZ DIRESTA ..... ( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Jimmy Diresta.....

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Didn’t you become a maker, making signs?

[@BrothersMake]

Was wondering how you were gonna attach the middles of the letters - such a simple idea! Great video Jimmy 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@patrickbaitman8336]

LEDs always seem too bright for signs like this. Creates "hot spots" of light rather than a solid diffused white, which IMHO is more pleasant to look at. Maybe better if the light wasn't directly behind the letters. Not sure.

[@reforzar]

Classic Diresta.

[@akronymn1]

Why the individual pieces of plexiglass behind the letters instead of one large sheet? Seems like that introduced more headache/room-for-error for saving not very much material.

[@ericluba6287]

So I have been trying to buy one of your ice packs but it wants me to put in my email address password first I don't remember it and second why should I have to put my password in????? Pretty sure it's not necessary to have my password

[@edwardharrison28]

I was about to say thats a huge cnc compared to the persons hands then I realizess it was sticks lol Im going to be laughing all day from this one. awesome video.

[@stewartstewartstewart]

I love your videos... I love what you do and I’d like to see you doing it for a long time. So please, for the love of god, wear a mask when you’re spraying 😕

[@Makebuildmodify]

Sweet sign Jimmy! Did you use the screws on the face of the sign for added strength or to add to the design?

[@timberdish]

Aside from the other works of pure class, it's not hard to see why Bulleit keep coming back for more signs from you. Loved the vid man!

[@BlackCherry5Oh]

What's the yellow bar running across the shopbot gantry? The one I use doesn't have that.

[@rohanwolfking]

Look awesome.wish u would have explain the process and the metiaral u use as voice over the video.

[@Thabzzz]

LED shining through the sprayed perspex... big no no in the shop fitting industry

[@EduardoMotta]

One more good job. I think you've already made another box signs for this client. Congratulations.

[@combows]

What was the reason for drilling the small holes around the letters at the end? :)

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Hi, anyone know where i can get them led strips he used?

[@mimimitchell1989]

Great job as always. How about I bring you 4 of my battle tanks and cannons so you can drive around fighting tank on tank to help inspire you to design and build me one of those rush signs..

[@petercook6908]

I have no idea on costs but what did a sign like that cost to have made?
