DiResta Samurai “Joinery” Step Stool Challenge

[@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

[@InspirationEmPire25]

I watched Making Fun on Netflix. Such an awesome show.

[@andrejohnson6731]

Jimmy “The Band Saw Whisperer" DiResta! I love how you showed two ways of making those holes. You got a dril? Perfect! No drill? Use a Chisel!

[@mramseyISU]

Paul Sellers has a couple really good videos on cutting a mortise with a chisel like that. I’ve done it a bunch of times just because I can now.

[@tracybowling97]

You know, I was thinking the same thing through the video. He shows different methods. He just makes everything look so darn easy!

[@larry78cj7]

Sand the joints, leave the dust in the gaps then varnish over it. Great vid.

[@ionut5316]

I like the CA glue and sawdust trick. Dully noted.

[@josephnorton1996]

I love the different takes on each others projects. There is a big difference between Diresta and Samarai style... diresta has the "get things done" mentality, Samarai has the "let it happen naturally" mentality. I love it!

[@chicagovasko]

I agree both great makers.

[@edwardgirgis9227]

THEY ARE BEST OF THE BEST MAKERS.

[@lordnycon2186]

quick and dirty with the rough-cut-look, i love it! thanks Jimmy

[@tracybowling97]

You made that look so easy. It's great! Every short person (me) needs a great looking, sturdy, lasts-forever stool! It's beautiful!

[@Dudleymiddleton]

At 1:55 genius idea using the cut off from the opposite side to mirror it! :)

[@leonhar13]

I was wondering how he was going to do it...simplest way is the best!

[@PaskMakes]

That was a fun Project - Loved the way you went about it! :)

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you brother

[@Cetrifuga1945]

Sempre tu Gimmy sei un grande uomo mi mancavano i tuoi video 👍⚡️⭐️❤️‍🔥

[@djtugsteno]

oh Jimmy, you and your bandsaw. Every time I'm left crying for more

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous how 19th century tech makes something that is useful, aesthetically pleasing & durable. Sure 21st century stuff is low cost, but not so durable, and bereft of soul & beauty. Thank you for sharing!

[@zirconia21]

I appreciate your sense of symmetry in wood scraps.

[@PaulMeyette]

"Samurai Jimmy" what a great looking piece! The rough sawn lumber and spalting look so good. I'd say you easily met the challenge! Jimmy rises again!

[@nat8843]

Cool. Has the DiResta trademark on the stool. Way to go!!

[@davidmeyer9204]

Again Jimmy shows more than one way to get results. Thanks for the inspiration and tips. Stay safe my friend.

[@rcwheeler34]

Great build Jimmy. I love how you have the same harbor freight pull saw I have. If it works, who cares where it's from!

[@artieshell9205]

Love the old style videos!

[@p2o8wer]

Watching you work never gets old.

[@jbratt]

Jimmy’s shop is so much like my dad’s shop growing up. You used a lot of metal tools when doing woodwork. Oh and he loved his 40s model Delta bandsaws. I love Jimmy’s take on the stool. It is very Diresta 👍

[@vinceianni4026]

Good job Jimmy Diresta well done

[@EagleRun23]

Jimmy on his bandsaw is just magical.

[@shawnnelson8627]

Love that rough sawn look

[@susanworth7930]

Hey Jimmy,Nice meeting you at the Milk run,came home today to jersey,stopped at the run for a coffee and watched this vid while there !,I knew the challenge would be childs ply for U ! Lol,wife luvs the sped up soundtrack !

[@mikej6544]

Nice old school craftsmanship.

[@molegrip3860]

Love it. Cheers Jimmy (& Jesse). Have a great weekend ;)

[@SeeMooreVids]

Zabsolutely beautiful, Jimmy. 👍

[@naturaIIydifferent]

That disc sander is amazing. You have all the fun toys👍

[@muchopomposo.6394]

Yet another Diresta Built gem..! 👍

[@andrewoperacz7427]

What a great build. I do like how you and the Samurai did different pressure fit pins on the center brace. My dads am old school wood worker and I’m trying to get him hip to KZbin. Amd when I show him your vids amd other wood working videos he’s just blowin away on how far things have developed and all the new school technology. And I appreciate how much you cover both ends of the spectrum on all your build. Much love Jimmy!!🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻

[@giovannicarlotta4930]

Beautiful job Jimmy 😜😎

[@jaredknapp8886]

DiResta is the man.

[@وليدوليد-ج5ت]

This man intelligent and professional and the first person make me learn handmade and I love ❤️ work because his video this man number one

[@tjkoker]

Well done, Jimmy. A nice variation on the design Samurai did. More of a Diresta rustic look. Outstanding. I'm going to take up the challenge as well. Got nothing to do today or tomorrow. Cheers!!!

[@tomcarlson3244]

Very nice stool. Great tip if you free hand a curve to use the cut off to mirror it on other side.

[@dp01]

Very nice. That shimming at the end to expand the leg join into the table top was mindblowing

[@patscopat]

One day I hope to be a sawing and chiseling machine like you are in your video's. Thank you for the outstanding video's.

[@brianewhiteguy]

There's just something very 'DiResta' about the sound of the random orbit sander. Makes me smile :)

[@ianstradian]

Samurai Carpenter: Jimmy you have been challenged! Jimmy: not so much......

[@dalebmartin]

Jimmy - 14 minutes later, done!

[@sgsax]

You definitely put your stamp on this design. 😁 Love the rustic look of it. Thanks for sharing!

[@bob5074]

I made one of these in HS shop class back in the early 80s and have used it as a step into my bed ever since. I also use it while tying my boots every morning

[@johnsavely5782]

I watch you both and love this challenge between you. I enjoy watching masters of their craft design and build unique pieces.

[@bcbloc02]

When i look at the stuff that was made 200 years ago with just a chisel and a cross cut saw and some planes it blows my mind.

[@urbanlumberjack]

One of my favorite builds!

[@Treepole]

Dude Way to Really Step It Up!!! Box o Jimmy!!! Great Stuff HAPPY Holidays!!

[@creepytodd1774]

Well done. 😁

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

It's perfect Jimmy.

[@billmoore2493]

I like your version of the stool. Nice work

[@aserta]

"pro"tip: if you have two pieces where you have to cut a half circle, like the legs here, you can put them one against the other and use a hole saw to cut the hole fast and clean. I usually staple them to an MDF piece i have for that kind of stuff.

[@alexandrep.2955]

Hey Jimmy, I'm still here, always!! Another great job Man! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@geneard639]

Now me? I woulda painted that step red, just for the laughs. "Its my red headed step stool, never knew my real stool" and to me? thats funny cause I AM a red headed step child.

[@312saxon]

Smashed it like a boss👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Jellooman]

I sure like your style!

[@FornaxusCrucible]

Interesting choice leaving the saw marks in. I kinda like it!

[@saginawdan]

Thanks Jimmy, a great way to start my day! 👍👍👍

[@tombrenes2411]

Great content Awsome simple build Excelent design Love all the hard work

[@Jmastffp]

I need to up my coffee intake. Your work speed is phenomenal

[@lweismann]

Interesting, though I like the SC wedged through tenon, which requires 2 fewer mortises than jimmy's does and isn't a common wedged through tenon. LOVE the choice of wood. Beautiful!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Very inspiring for my first band saw that's arriving on Monday 👌♥️

[@jimmydiresta]

Awesome hit me up if ya need anything

[@mattruth6287]

I love it! Classic Jimmy Diresta. Loved the circle sawn scars on the benchtop. Such a perfect take on traditional Japanese meeting American functionality.

[@genewileyopa]

Looks super cool. Nice work.

[@LutherBuilds]

Wonderful job Jimmy!

[@markwatters6875]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@ЕлисейКруглов-ж9б]

На фоне рогов - это шедевр!!!👍👍👍

[@Dadmadeit]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍

[@riccroft710]

I enjoyed the way you mixed hand tools and power tools in this one, Jimmy. The spalting on that wood is really interesting. Nice work.

[@alextsaregorodtsev2807]

I want this stool. Great job

[@arkaitzsilveira1512]

Diresta yessss💪💪

[@blueangel333333]

I love the process .... I use chisel -> it's boring -> I Drill ^^

[@creativerosedesign2953]

Thank you!

[@patmash]

Excellent. Love these challenges.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Nailed it Jimmy!

[@jamesjohnsn4268]

jimmy i would love to see you build your verison of samurai woodworking workbench but with the direata touch....i am a huge fan and i watch most of if not all your videos i mean even before youtube its awesome to watch and i am huge fan of your brother to. keep up the good work.

[@kevkeelan5106]

No weight restrictions with this stool. Solid as a rock!

[@Mileslicsw]

Jimmy' version of Cross Fit. Make those Tri's burn!!

[@shaunbarrickman6339]

Nice work!

[@jacobjames5633]

A great video and a great bundle deal on the knife and razor blade! Can’t wait for the live chat!

[@Vormulac1]

Awesome! And the size of that disc sander!!!

[@merrymick]

Nailed it!

[@jimhibert]

Challenge crushed -Diresta style!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

[@foundit6088]

Nice job Jimmy. I like how you kept the milling saw marks so you can see how it was originally cut. I got some old window headers (2x12 lumber) from a job and I’ve been saving it to make a bench with the same joinery. This video came at a great time. Thanks DiResta and Samurai

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀

[@Tomaskp]

Very good piece, it's nice to see you work

[@jdmccorful]

The pleasure is in the journey!

[@pyro323]

The time lapse parts make Jimmy look like a human sawzall! 🪚🏁

[@railmastercnr]

Amazing video as usual Jimmy

[@davestinyworkshop]

Beautiful stool

[@shopcatt643]

This was fun

[@victorpapaavp]

LOL, Jimmy does one leg hole with a chisel and you can tell he was like "Nope, not doing that again... where's the Forstner bit..."

[@ryderscustomcreations3665]

Hey a chance to get the razor again! I had gifted the one I previously bought to a friend not knowing you no longer had them available…. I’m definitely getting this box!

[@pedrocantarelli3636]

O que mais me impressiona é a sua capacidade e principalmente talento em tornar um desafio em algo extremamente simples. Pega a madeira e algumas ferramentas e está pronto o projeto. Adoro essa sua maneira simples de executar suas tarefas. Aqui costumamos dizer: Menos é Mais. Amo seu trabalho. Forte abraço irmão.

[@chicagovasko]

I'll intercept that hug and wish you a great day brother.

[@herrhansmeier34]

The Boss.👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@kookiboy]

The Diresta way of woodworking with metal powertools. Love this guy.

[@SteveC38]

Nice Job Brother!

[@Shawnbbeckner]

[@kodoan411]

Nice touch using the Sashigane (Japanese carpenter's square).
