DiResta: Meeting Table

In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PST), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy builds a custom meeting table with Sketch Up.
For Jimmy's notes, tools and materials lists, and sketchbook images, see the post on MAKE: makezine.com/video/diresta-mee...

Centuries later Tour guides in museums will say, "And this piece, is a part of 'The Diresta Collection.'"

[@dLimboStick]

Artist! Not only the table, but the video production too. Beautiful work. Bravo!

[@zapateco]

Dudes, in these times of doing-absolutely-nothing-but-computer-stuff your video absolutely moved me. The actual piece work and the way the whole thing is edited, I can't just not say MORE!

[@azimpetra]

It's like a floor but as a table :D DiResta videos are so addicting to watch. The fast forward really does it.

[@art1muz13]

NO, YOU ARE THEE BOMB, BOOOOOM! I'M ALWAYS SO JAZZED WHEN I FIND A NEW DIRESTA!

[@ZaneWBuxton]

I love the idea of the plywood frame with the veneer strips - I never would have thought of that! Excellent video (as always) and a great project idea!

[@ColchesterBridgeport]

This is my favourite DiResta project. Very do-able.

[@lockcitywoodworks]

I've just been binge watching all of your videos, Jimmy. I'm so inspired to go home and make some dust!

[@fednis]

[@ter450]

Great idea for the filler patches. Always have struggled with the color matching process myself. Beautiful, yet functional art work.

[@acasey1223]

I like the idea for the table. Using thin slats was pretty clever. Nice look too. Thanks Jimmy

[@gustavolarrazabal1646]

Beautiful!

[@alexnelson09]

Love the resin and sawdust putty, great idea there.

[@MrJKCampione]

Wow. That is gorgeous.

[@mattsson123123]

This is brilliant!

[@johnthompson8029]

You are the man! Very well done and great work of using a small amount of Walnut(?).

[@abefrohman1759]

Wood, steel, brass, leather it doesn't matter everything Jimmy does is bad ass. He's part master Craftsman part Mad Scientist.

[@michaelr7110]

AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@elkeyeme]

What a beautiful work...

[@thenward]

Top notch editing Jimmy!

[@CredibleHulk10]

Beautiful work, as always; but I had a perverse desire to see the typical Diresta 'sharp object thrust' into the table as the finale. :)

[@cookingandjava7574]

i like diresta. he can make things extremly good.

[@eddiefara]

Just found this series and your own channel. Real inspiration. If I had half the knowledge of you I would be very happy. Looking forward to more videos from you.

[@monkeycrow84]

nice! looks like a massive version of my work desk. it was an old metal frame with oak floorboards for the top i found in a mates shed. it had been in there for about 25 years! i got rid of the rust, painted it black and sanded and waxed the top. gota say it looks better than anything i could find ina shop and apart from tthe paint and wax it was free! Love the vid diresta, keep em coming!!

[@myersmatt7]

Wow, that table looks beautiful! I especially like how you used a hollow core on the table top.

[@Rumeeezyy]

You deserve it! Your work is phenomenal!

[@leosedf]

We need more of you!

[@JulieAV]

beautiful!

[@Candyman97]

I like the lens, because it gives you a wider view, of what you are doing!

[@Solvefunction]

love your work

[@szuwoo]

...especially like the editing of that welding part...thumb up Jimmy!

[@tsummerlee]

Gorgeous.

[@TravisL.Desmadreson]

Great video. Thank you.

[@mathiasglasewald9941]

Wie immer ein cooles Design und eine tolle Arbeit. HUT AB!!! Danke für das Video!

[@snailfox7]

I've just discovered this channel, and here I'm sitting, thinking "God damn, that is one MAJESTIC meeting table!"

[@udo1033]

very cool design, a good inspiration for my next dining- room table 👍👍👍

[@ElectroGuy29]

Nailed it!

[@gganticgary]

like a dark double wide bowling table, love it

[@ericplum]

Awesome!

[@cicciothelynx]

Wonderlful!

[@TheStrifeDesign]

Now that's how you make a few pieces of walnut? go a very long way! Great job, I may appropriate this technique. Hanging out for your next vid, thirsty for more.

[@madinatore]

really nailed this one...

[@camronhyder]

this was so inspiring! thank you

[@BarryFelicecapehandyman]

You have the skills...very talented.

[@junocomm]

Love it! Putting on all those pieces on the top looked tedious, but the results are well worth it. Now...about making me one... : )

[@jimmydiresta]

haha Thank you !!! love it! happy to help

[@joshuajones1977]

Another fine job Jimmy. Wish I could work that fast...

[@pfoxhound]

You are the best!

[@stuartdcsn]

Really impressive... a please to watch.

[@MNIronAndGrain]

Beautiful piece sir. Hope it's going to a good home!

[@petestyles8911]

your channel just makes me want to be able to do stuff like this!

[@user-gz7vk3um4p]

Cool and nice!

[@ThePhysicalRomance]

best artist ever!

[@panosglory8]

You are awesome!!!!

[@GeneralSeptem]

I noticed you sanded right over the nails you put in holding the slats down - you didn't have any problem with them tearing up the paper? How visible were the nails when it was done?

[@dhananjaisharma709]

Super amazing

[@Remius106]

Nice job... Great idea with timber patchwork, guess the idea could be used for any large scale timberwork...

[@kenanavc5918]

Genius carpentry 101. Such high class for so cheap and so fast.

[@bunnylyks]

beautiful

[@mohammrdmashaal6303]

Ohhh it's so wonderful table

[@halleffect1]

that's badass. i want those bookshelves too. wish i had the money to get Jimmy to make me furniture like this

[@HackThePlanetNow]

instead you should try and make some of the stuff. it's so much better when you make something even if it's slanted and looks like shit you can say damn I made that

[@smokeeater8387]

+Jason Becker I agree with you, I'm the worst carpenter in the world but have started trying to make a few things. They are not perfect but I still like them, some have been pretty cool just imperfect

[@DeniskaNYC]

Unbelievable ;) nice table!

[@mile225jr]

Awesome :) God bless

[@shotbyjuanramos4866]

my favorite proyect

[@skorpion027]

Diresta the best of the best

[@edy29roch]

MAGNIFICO TRABAJO...........

[@Sekeletu]

Great work as always. I'd make it on high polish personally, though. But of course it's a matter of what one like.

[@gabibv]

Modern design 10+

[@n8guy]

SICK!
