✔ DiResta Sigmund's Sign

[@dpmakestuff]

As much as I love your complex videos, its nice to see a simple clean build like this. I watched it twice just to see the G being cut out again.

[@glennlawrie-smith8570]

I too liked watching the "g" being cut. The way the background shifted around was kind of mesmerizing.

[@cognisent_]

+1 on the camera work for that letter. Really cool.

[@GiacoWhatever]

Always impressed by your CNC hands when it comes to bandsaw...amazing!

[@RFC3514]

When cutting out Sigmund's signs, always be very careful to avoid Freudian slips.

[@kennjrgensen9021]

+RFC3514 ba dum tzzzz

[@livedeliciously]

I can't get over how effortless Diresta makes bandsaw cutting look.

[@MattDiresta]

Your bandsaw skills still amaze me

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

I was thinking the same thing.....really amazingly mad band saw skills.

[@crazethedave]

even the big simple letters you make it look way easy,always love watching you work on the bandsaw

[@matthewmarting3623]

Okay, so about a week ago I was watching some videos on homesteading and your hatchet video kept coming up. I watched it and was torn betwesn two views. i thought "who is this joker who paints his name on everything, has an action figure and does unsafe things?". On the other hand, every video in general and that video in particular is a 15 minute masterclass. I don't create for a living, but I have learned on a basic level how to do every craft aside from working with fabric and architecture. I am telling you that I was blown away. Free-form machining using a bandsaw? Who the hell does that? Anyhow, I've now watched half your channel and almost all of your shows. Having actually watched them closely, I only have 1 safety issue left and it is on a machine that I'm not familiar with. I think that if an honest appraisal of what the actual risks are, your methods are as safe or safer. You are absolutely the real deal. I wanted to go into your line of work - I really did. But I spent my 20s in college and went into the medical field. In any case I cannot express how much I appreciate your ingenuity, your experience, your love of teaching and your warmth as a human being. I am motivated to create again - just got my forge working the other day. If you want some info on building gas forges, let me know - just dont put it in your NYC shop without some serious ventilation.

[@jimmydiresta]

+Matthew Marting Thank you for the honest review!! and thank you for the support!! send me any good forge vids! looking to melt in crucible if you have any advise THANK YOU , [e-mail]

[@matthewmarting3623]

+jimmydiresta Okay Jimmy - I'll probably just end up sending you a 3 page PM. I'm pretty sure I will drown the comments section if I post it here.

[@b8bpattson]

+jimmydiresta You are the living retort to the Apple CEO who says they manufacture in China because Americans don't have the skills the make things anymore.

[@TreeborgCNC]

Amazing work on a band saw. Please, could you make a tips video on blade selection, tensioning, and setup of the band saw. Some basic tips on how to do what you do would be greatly appreciated.

[@Yeahwereintherockies]

Wow. When the "M" hit the painted back I was blown away by the power of advertising because I couldn't stop associating the whole project with M&M's due to the font and color scheme. Another fine video Jimmy

[@neotheseattledj]

i gotta say man i am hooked on your youtube and anything i can watch with you in it. i am amazed by your creativity and skill. every time i watch your videos, whatever time it is, i get so inspired and restless i get up and go start tinkering with the small amount of tools i have in my apartment living room. it drives my roommate crazy cause our apartment living room turns into a shop haha. thanks so much for putting yourself out there for anyone to find.

[@robertaltic3395]

Got dizzy watching the bandsaw work. You are a master!! Keep'em coming. Bob

[@BensWorx]

Jimmy you are the bandsaw king. Love your work mate

[@huddy32]

I just got finished watching the aluminum handle axe video, I just can't believe the craftsmanship, all by hand, crazy talent

[@mikeo759]

My 4 year old son loves watching your videos with me. Thanks Jimmy!

[@BigJuicyBlake]

Jimmy, I'm a huge fan and I use all your tips and tricks when working with wood in tech class. I think all the wierd shaped scraps that come from the letters would look cool in all different colored stains and then placed in a countersunk table using a router and epoxy like the rat stool. Thanks for your videos, Blake

[@jaytomes2856]

Love your bandsaw work. you can tell how comfortable you are with it. great job, as always!

[@uriahocean6968]

So cool. Simple yet elegant.

[@dan84054]

Every sign video you do I am still amazed that you do your kerning by eye and nail it.

[@nerd8192]

It's kinda mesmerising to watch you cut letters on the bandsaw! Thanks.

[@tuttopropagandacriativa]

Provavelmente hoje vocês devem fazer a instalação de outra forma. Mas pra facilitar a instalação de qualquer placa ou fachada de comércio em geral, pode ser utilizado suportes. É só fixar os suportes e em seguida colocar a placa e parafusar a placa no suporte. É bem simples e facilita muito, qualquer coisa é só me chamar. Adoro ver os vídeos de vocês, parabéns.

[@StoneandSonsWorkshop]

Nice to see the sign being installed. Awesome work!

[@RyanProbert139]

Serious skills with all his power tools this guy! Love the videos Jimmy.

[@RoboCNCnl]

Great look with simple materials... Nice work Jimmy an David !

[@gearheadcookie8856]

keep up the good work. your videos have helped me hang shelves and given me lots of inspiration for future builds.

[@kellyhansen6496]

Excellent work as always guys. If only I could work that fast. Great cutting with that scroll saw.

[@Skerpie]

That was awesome to see after hearing the podcast. Thank you!

[@l3ender15]

You make using a band saw look easy! Years of practice for that level of skill

[@rubenlewis5488]

Nice work as always Jimmy, I could watch you cut things with a bandsaw in hi-speed for hours!

[@bobmcbride7058]

Beautiful work as always.

[@Projectoftheday]

It is so fascinating to see how you are use the band saw, really nice job

[@mduvigneaud]

Awesome build, Jimmy & David (as always!) Also I really liked the camera angle from the MDF for some of the first bandsaw cuts. That was really cool. :D

[@kulmajaba]

Great video and great work as always. Loved the Gopro-on-MDF bandsaw shot.

[@fylaserengraving3531]

Jimmy you are the BOSS ... Great Work as always..

[@chromepanther9612]

Jimmy your bandsaw game is off the fucking charts. It's not cutting....it's like sculpting.

[@abelnieto432ify]

Beautiful sign Jimmy, wish they would have wanted the sign mounted horizontal rather than on its side.Best looking sign in the pretzel shop!!

[@EvilED08]

I agree! it'd have been better on the horizontal but it's a beautiful sign!

[@maxwelldesigns3140]

Nice big sign!Your business gets bigger , so much new people in the workshop . MDF is fun on the bandsaw. Grüße aus Germany!

[@iPeel]

Love the shot from the letter as you were cutting it.

[@brianschnurr3254]

Awesome work +jimmydiresta. As a designer, your work is such an inspiration. Keep it up!

[@IAmUnleashed1]

@jimmydiresta I really like the way you alternate speeds with the shot It somehow makes it even more interesting! Props!

[@jakemartin2613]

Love the mounted Bandsaw cam!

[@spikethedog6901]

ive watched this guy make literally everything

[@josephjones2068]

Totally awsome as always. Nice shot with the camera on the g!

[@rolandtyszka]

Great as always. I love sundays :)

[@fd4294]

You make my day...Thanks for sharing Jimmy! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Have a good day too great Man!

[@ptstrong3]

notice how effortlessly he glides with the band saw. that only comes from years and years of working with it

[@richardtimmsdesign]

The camera work while working on G was beautiful, keeping it fresh!

[@kenl5217]

I wasn't expecting it to be mounted sideways but it looks good like that

[@aaronsrowe]

That cross-cut to bandsaw shot was really neato.

[@maddogjb57]

Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing!

[@theClosetgrower420]

Hey jimmy, what width or would it be thickness, either way what are the numbers on your bandsaw blade? I have a handful of different blades for mine and I never seem to be able to cut tight curves like that without binding.

[@jimmydiresta]

+theClosetgrower420 this blade is 1/8 th 14 tpt Thank you of watching !

[@justinfiaschetti]

awesome shot of cutting out the G

[@thegreatjellydoughnu]

Always mesmerizing watching you cut letters on the band saw. have you ever thought to put a stopwatch or little clock on the band saw so we can get a feel for how long a letter takes in real time? thanks for the videos always enjoyable to watch.

[@gottabweird]

I'm 99% sure Jimmy could perform surgery with that bandsaw.

[@lsmft9576]

I wanna' be able to use my band saw like a scroll saw. Jimmy D's the best.

[@bahopik]

seems that you get to do lots of installs dealing with masonry, if you have some spare money, get their cordless hammer drill. it's so worth the money, I've never regretted not having to drag a cord or use regular drill, the newer version accepts a vacuum for less lungs deposits.

[@markevens]

one of the more simple videos,but cool none the less.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice job! Did you add upat inserts to mount the sign on the wall? If not, what did you do?

[@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop]

Great Sign Jimmy, Cheers, Harry

[@koum6984]

as always amazing work, a true inspiration

[@stephengagnon4714]

Awesome just perfect made

[@ismaelhaiderco]

well done , nice looking sign . Thank u for this instructional video.

[@superkidkidkid1109]

You are an artisté with the bandsaw sir

[@IanMossMakeMoss]

Good stuff jimmy! Thanks for sharing

[@1954BJohn]

Super skills Jimmy!

[@kareemshah1275]

you're like a human xcarve with that band saw man great work

[@MichaelLawing]

Nice work, as always!

[@waynoswaynos]

Digging your movies dude.. you've taught me loads.Thanks! Hey I had the thought that you'd save a heap on materials over the years if you kerned in the letter space or even just relayed the glyphs to suit your sheet size before printing, sticking on and cutting out. Still makes the same amount of sawdust but also means less bin emptying!

[@abarairenji1959]

those bandsaw skills!! you rock man! :)

[@PaulMeyette]

Gonna swing by for a pretzel when we come down! Nice job guys

[@zrituelle]

It's very hard to dislike your videos...nice work ✔DiResta

[@TheQuintessentialOne]

Sweet build looks good

[@wannabewoodsmith4217]

Very cool .... Thanks for sharing !!! I could watch you cut letters on the bandsaw all day !!!

[@ClarkManorDesign]

+WannaBeWood Smith you could what?

[@zebilaweed]

+Andrew Clark oviously "watch"

[@ClarkManorDesign]

Yeah, oviously.

[@zebilaweed]

lol yes it is obvious, your brain may even make illusion for you. Open a dictionnary and find words that fit in the sentence ;)

Quick question. Jimmy, I don't see you using an angle grinder much. Is there a reason? And why? Its my favorite tool. With a thin cutting disk you can do so much. Sparks fly everywhere and looks so cool in slow motion camera.

[@BCdesign1]

Awesome work!!do you use anything to seal the edges of the mdf before painting?do you print those massive sheets of paper yourself or get it done by a printer shop?

[@disabledwoodworker]

I know I'm about 6 months late, but I forgot to watch this vid. Missed it or something. You've got some crazy badass skills on the bandsaw bro!

[@Kiswinar]

amazing as always, keep making it, Jimmy! :D

[@mdbohica]

Great video as always Jimmy! Not gonna lie, I got a little woozy riding the G through the band saw...lol

[@GibClark]

Looks good !

[@Predicadorful]

Great job Jimmy greetings from Venezuela

[@MikeJones-mr9or]

well played sir. well played

[@DanielVilarino]

Very nice! Cheers! Daniel

[@jeremyc9641]

Why is it that I can watch you cut out pieces to a sign on a band saw and not get bored?

[@drumavenger83]

I don't know why I always leave the volume turned up when I watch these videos...

[@davidaronson2216]

Bandsaw maestro!

[@jamesbirdsall2910]

Jimmydiresta you are skilful man you inspired me so much I am now a joiners apprentice.

[@robheg100]

Where do you get the printed paper? Love all your work! Very inspirational.

[@bbqwithyou]

I always enjoy seeing Willy in your vids. Somethimes i wonder how he's doing.

[@emilios91]

Thanks for the video jimmy

[@pumpkinhubby]

Thanks for a great video again. It's funny. Just as I was saying to myself "I wonder where he printed out the template ?" Boom , in the description.

[@TurboTan14]

04:40 Damn jimmy those are some short shorts you have on ahahahha 😂

[@TheRealElDiablo]

Jimmy Love all your builds and videos. I have a question... on that dovetail bench that you made. If I moved the dovetails in more into the seat portion. Cutting the dovetails into the actual seat. Then putting a stringer in between the legs halfway up would that make a strong bench? I wish I could send a drawing of what I am talking about. I don't think I explained it well at all. Hopefully you know what I mean.

[@Rare2297]

soon new video on the truck !?

[@ctenochaetus]

Nice job !!!

[@woodkraftsfwi1999]

Nice. You got some bandsaw skills man.

[@woodkraftsfwi1999]

Thanks for sharing and taking the time to make this videos for us. Highly apprishiated. Always looking forward to your videos.

[@seanknight9898]

DiResta, do you find your bandsaw blade is in need of sharpening or replacement after dealing with that much fibreboard?

[@alsmith1025]

good stuff. thanks for making this video.

[@shawntannehill]

I can't help but laugh at the noise of your speed videos.

[@monte6614]

Damn Jimmy. I was in Grand Central for the first time in like 20 years last week. Had I known you had work there I would have made it a point to take a selfie in front of it.

[@longshot789]

Wow, cool shot at 1:02

[@vicentenavarro106]

good. work. and good video jimmy 👍
