DiResta OLD Safe Door Restoration & Install

[@jimmydiresta]

Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade

[@tracybowling97]

Everyone should have this as their front door. And of course you hand painted the golden stripes. This is the ultimate classy door! Of course now I want one!

[@Maker-G]

I have enjoyed a ton of recordings of your creations and honestly I feel like I have never seen you smile as hard as you did in this recording. I am glad to see that this one brought you so much joy as all your work continually brings me great inspiration.

[@jeffmoss26]

As a locksmith I absolutely love this’

[@kevinalexander7710]

Sidenote: if you want to break into Jimmy’s shop don’t fuss with that safe door. You can sawzall thru the sheet metal siding in about 4.2 seconds.

[@jimmydiresta]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👊🏼

[@reginalawson8008]

Yes, that is a consideration. But I would be afraid of the horrors of the first step inside, you never know what he's got going on in there!!! Nice work, thanks for sharing!! :)

[@BLKNJ]

OG Diresta! Nice piece Jimmy

[@clementsmallengine4833]

Have you seen the diresta guillotine video before? He has boobie traps all over that shop! Imagine 1000 ice picks flying at mach-1....😉

[@theart9163]

The mind as it wanders....

[@frankbusuttil2572]

I love that you held the hinges to camera waaaay too long as if you say I made these and I’m damn proud of myself. Most over engineered shop door on the planet. Beautiful work Jimmy. Thanks for continuing to inspire.

[@th.l.7768]

Jimmy, you're the only guy who can mount a safe door on a tin can without looking ridiculous. Thanks a lot for this post-apocalyptic "Leonardo DiVinciResta" video ^^)

[@the_cheese]

The smile on Jim's face when he opened the door on camera!! This was a fantastic piece of work, thanks for sharing it!

[@miamitreasurehunter]

This guy never ceases to amaze me.

[@aserta]

From when manufacturers made things proper, and the caps on the hinges were removable, so you could put oil and maintain the hinges...

[@DanVR001]

I'm surprised the sheet metal didn't bend from the weight of the door. Nice job.

[@MonsieurNab]

smae, I almost expected a 2x4 or two under the bottom wooden part as support. guess the sheet metal is pulling its weight :)

[@liammiller3395]

I think this must be the happiest I have seen you with the outcome of a project Great build jimmy🤜

[@adamkittrell1511]

Man I thought the same. He just looks proud of himself with this one.

[@NealPenderSellingNearCharlotte]

Jimmy Skill #547: Manual Pinstriping. The well never runs dry with this guy. Well done Sir!

[@B-leafer]

I think a significant portion of your genius, is finding such cool stuff!

[@joesobaski1966]

Not sure I’ve seen you more proud of a project. Nicely done.

[@georgel5308]

You have so much free hand lathing skill. You can turn junk into art. Really amazing. Great work.

[@Drowronin]

Art deco. A man of taste and culture.

[@rhysmeyrick615]

No one else would have all the separate fields of knowledge and hands on to pull that off. An act of sheer will.picking the lock not to destroy and plunder it but to revive it to live again.

[@wildwilly519]

Love it. Using it as a regular entrance is comical and practical.

[@nordyfamily]

Again, you are the Dalai Lama of DIY. Nicely done. Keep up the great work.

[@thekiltedblacksmith2948]

I am impressed that sheet metal siding and a little bit of lumber supported the weight of that door.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Holy cow. What a great film. Feels like you worked on this one straight through...no eat, no sleep. Best door in the world. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@oldgreyman5994]

Best man door I think I've ever seen.

[@djhoon90]

Your drill bit wielding gives me comfort. Sometimes you just need to get a little job done!

[@yellowmuginc]

A locking door to replace the locking door! 😉 Spiffy! What a treasure from a cool place to pick for treasure, great job restoring it for a new application.

[@allenwilson9656]

Jimmy with those freehand pin stripe skills you could be a coach liner for roles royce 👍 you did a great job with the direstaration

[@calholli]

You just hold your pinky finger along the edge and stay steady.. If you were to look at it closely, you could tell that he still has a lot of flaws... but That's what I like about it the most--- just whip it up and go with it; there's no need for it to be perfect.

[@bcbloc02]

Jimmy Listening and feeling those clicks is for sure a test of patience!

[@safe1968man]

I'm a locksmith. And for me that was very cool.

[@chadseals2671]

Those door hinge pins are the bees knees!!!😍

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Those acorn caps for the hinges are such a cool detail. The ones you remade looked spot on.

[@PaigeMaker]

I’ve got a project coming up where I plan to make my own hinges, and it never would have occurred to me if not for watching your videos. 🤘

[@Benzoff]

I’ve never fast forwarded a Diresta video. Love this guy.

[@MOONRAK3R23]

Now that’s an Awesome Entry Door!!!

[@dwwoodbuilds]

Now EVERYONE will want a safe door for their shop! Fun build Jimmy, really liked the free-hand milling on the lathe!

[@TomMakeHere]

I've considered one in the past, but can confirm: the want is much stronger now 😂

[@101-йкилометр]

Супер! Золотые руки! Смотрю каждый ваш ролик, каждый раз чтобы вы не делали, просто шедевр!

[@nvz357]

Jimmy you are truly an amazing guy…I just love the irreverence you have for your tools on their way to creating another Diresta masterpiece…..👍🏼

[@reforzar]

The details make this pop off, mainly that beautiful paint job. Nice work JD!

[@danthemakerman]

The juxtaposition of a solid steel safe door installed in to a corrugated metal wall is just too damn good! Well done Jimmy!

[@oges74]

No matter what you are making, it's great watching your process of getting the project done

[@pimuir]

Fanfingtastic Jimmy! Best part was your look into the camera after you opened the door after dialing in the combination. Thank you!!

[@chicagovasko]

16:55 Tadaaa Jimmy smiles. Love it.

[@Dfrantz87]

Love it man. That felt like a good old fashioned Diresta build. Thanks for staying true to your roots Brother.

[@grammybear4226]

[@cardinalpoints2839]

How psyched are you that you have a shop with a fork lift!! Great work by the way.

[@Cetrifuga1945]

Sei pazzesco Diresta ciaoooo

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous! Like a door way into another dimension where everything & everyone is good, happy & creative.Thanks for sharing!

[@USA5.56X45]

This is the type of DIRESTA that I've been craving

[@TheSmithomatic]

This was like a diresta classic and a diresta something new all in one I love it 💪

[@mking3219]

What a cool way to secure a shop! No contest will ever replace content Jimmy.....always in baby voice!

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here. You R Quite a talented Young man. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@jimmydiresta]

[@PJGalati]

I think you look the happiest making this video I have seen you in a while! So many smiling moments!!! Great work of course, love the brass handle and lock, your pin-striping was excellent! I've done it on small things and it's nerve wracking!

[@johnjagielski5903]

Wow, just wow!! Nice one Jimmy Deresta!!

[@aaroncashion7570]

Line work was amazing. Great job jimmy.

[@DigitalSwagg]

Thinking outside the box live and direct! Great job Jimmy

[@sanankynaston9925]

I like the gold trim you put around the edges of the door. Very nice!

[@jojorengers5368]

How brilliant is this!!!!! A old style Diresta video 👌🏻 making something beautiful from old iron !

[@billdiehl156]

So cool to watch an artist and maker at work!

[@TomMakeHere]

It looks great. The pin striping was a good touch

[@VVershCSIV]

You will never know or see how many things you've inspired me to make. But its alot of ish, thank you JD.

[@jimmydiresta]

✊🏻👊🏼👊🏼

[@StamosTee]

That's why I tell everyone I talk about you, that you are both a great artist and a great maker. 🤜🤛

[@jimmydiresta]

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@elainezzz]

lovely way to start off the old saturday thank you jimmy

[@jmadara]

I love how you did the gold lines.

[@chrisaudi1593]

nice job jimmy ... man I wish I can have all your imagination to think about all the stuff you making with your hand keep up the good work

[@oliverbrunt1]

Just awesome, that line work is just brilliant! Love some of the new camera angles too!

[@Vault57]

I have seen a number of similar vault doors hit the dumpsters on demolition jobs. Nobody but me wanted them...and I had no way to move them or place to store them. I also saw a number of large safes (5'-6' tall x 3'-4' wide) meet the same fate. They would have made great conversions into gun safes or just home safes. Space not being an issue. Glad you saved that one.

[@dcallan812]

Building a safe room to keep all your best tool in? Great looking bit of art and utility. 2x👍

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Good sense of humor, Jim.

[@chrismatus4469]

Nice Jimmy! I like the way it complements the little safe door on the other side of the entrance.

[@toomanyhobbies8518]

Probably one of my favor buildS. Really enjoyed the video. I kept thinking what is he going to do with this thing.

[@ytwdh]

You had me guessing until the end. "Where the hell is this door going?" Awesome job, Jimmy.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That door looks outstanding. Great job on it Sir

[@TheMechanic626]

I am surprised that the sheet metal would hold the weight. Great work yet again Jimmy.

[@thomaseisen304]

At first I thought that's the new door to your vault bro! 😊 Nice way to safe that door for sure !

[@loufaiella3354]

Brilliant job....as always!! I think a final touch would be to connect another 2 pieces of wood on each side (a few feet is all that is needed) to the ground from the existing screw studs to get that weight off the sheet metal building.

[@charlysoy100]

Jimmy brillante idea, te felicito por tu inagotable creatividad, y tu dominio de todas las técnicas.

[@WorldRestoration]

I really admire you for doing a great job

[@markmywords5126]

I almost cried when that green was painted over

[@exconcurly]

You gotta respect somebody that takes a hand drill and turns into a milling machine

[@BerudPL]

love the ending where we can see Joy on Jimmy face :D

[@cesarlg7192]

ideal to put it in a bathroom, one in a hurry to enter and has to put the combination to enter. excellent work as always

[@АгоикапмжГвдкитж]

Спасибо за видео! Одно удовольствие наблюдать за работой Мастера!

[@youssefberady]

No matter how difficult is the job, it looks easy when you do it.

[@jackleg693]

As a hobby lock and safe engineer this pleases me very much. Superb upcycling!

[@williampeppers812]

I was hoping it would have been installed in a fortified bunker.....but I'm sure the shop was already Ft. Knox. Great work sir.

[@1arebeast]

I knew we could trust jimmy to make the outside of the door look amazing, and not touch beautiful paint and patina in the inside. Thank you for the awesome video!

[@Nocewoodshop]

Absolutely beautiful door. But bravo on that bright light welding video transition Jim! So cool.

[@MRARNULFO1978]

Woooowww that is amazing reconstruction 😍😍😍

[@claudiogadda5344]

Good job man. Very nice end result!

[@andrewoperacz7427]

What a killer door and restore. And I said to myself. Of course he can pin strip free hand haha!! You are an amazing maker Jimmy!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MakeEverything]

Same combination as my luggage….
