DiResta Steel & Leather Folding Stools

[@geoffcowan2384]

Perfect example of excellent DIRESTA video. I don’t have a plasma machine nor am I thinking of making these. But I always learn something. When the of the seat wouldn’t come together, I would have never thought of putting a piece of plywood underneath to raise it up. Just that little thing made it worth it for me. Also I can see me using the rivets. Thanks Jimmy!

[@siririchards4461]

The timeless elegance of the DiResta brand strikes again.

[@BigLousWorkshop]

3:11 I've started saying "Thank! You!" with the same inflection you use when I'm on conference calls... nobody gets it, but it makes me smile!!

[@DavidBishopinc]

Those are top choice. When I was a child, we had seats in this style made of wood and canvas. We called them our camping stools, because we used them when we were camping. 👍🏼

[@srirangdhawale5242]

Years later, when these are worn out and old, I want to hang one on my studio wall.. Amazing and elegant work Jimmy! 🙏🏻

[@drmkiwi]

Love the off centre pivot point where the legs cross. These little stools look like classics even though they've only been around for 5 minutes. Good stuff.. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David

[@Treesusb]

My dad was a leather smith in the 70s through 90s he was well known. He would have liked your work.

[@RexusKing]

This feels like a "DiResta version" of Taylor's furnitures. Clean thin lines with leather, but with the added forged texture and rivets. Dope!

[@JeffGloverArts]

LOVE seeing the design played out on the plasma cutter (?). This is what a Maker does!

[@eugenemotes9921]

I'm 💯% Convinced. That there is nothing this guy can't Create. 👊

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

I'm glad Willie told me to pay attention, or I might have missed that antiquing gel. Nice effect...almost seems like gun bluing. 👍

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Such simple beautiful lines, each material in its rawness making the bond between nature & human refined natural. Fit for Royals the world over & such an antidote to all the Covid troubles. Thank you so much for cheering me on this dark winter day when the sun was mostly lost to the clouds.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@RybalovSlava]

You are the best at what you do. As a person from Kazakhstan, I tell you this) Thank you for the experience.

[@ericpedersen2760]

Baldor bench grinder is a beauty. Always love the mix of old and new technology and different media.... beautiful job 😁

[@samwechsler]

The adobe illustrator going at high speed with the music is dope. Love the creative flow of this.

[@SuffolkFarmer]

Wonderfully simple and elegant Jimmy - Thankyou

[@ConnorHolland]

Great Campaign style design. Stainless steel and black leather would look nice, like a Barcelona stool

[@chuxmix65]

Jimmy, when Willie said "Pay attention" it rather strongly reminded me of your "Table Saw Tool Tips". Your best advice for avoiding an accident was "Be present". Same thing. Good advice from both of you. Beautiful work, brother. From the pre-visualisation in software to the copper rivets!

[@jimmydiresta]

thank you!!!

[@chuxmix65]

@@jimmydiresta Watching you make stuff over the years has been super duper incredible fun. Sage advice as in "pay attention" or "be present" can change a person. Thank you, my friend!!!

[@DanielH]

Cutting steel like butter

[@heyimamaker]

I love the look of these, They sort of remind me of black smith tongs. Has a familiar look to it.

[@geraldbrooks2763]

Cant remember if it was answered on your podcast, but campaign furniture was the stuff british officers had to buy for themselves when they went out on campaign to foreign countries. It was all meant to be super strong, portable and easy to fit into shipping crates. Thats why most of it had metal reinforced corner brackets and handles that were all recessed to sit flush with the surface. These stools are pretty cool btw

[@chrisconley3579]

Willy! I'm so happy to know he's still helping around the shop. Awesome project, I like the simplicity

[@robsmith1835]

I could sit for hours and watch you build!!

[@TomMakeHere]

They really look fantastic

[@virtualfather]

Jimmy I always seem to leave your channel smiling thank you so much

[@jimmydiresta]

thank you!

[@BoomerKeith1]

Good to hear WIllie! Those are perfect for sitting around a fire pit!!

[@saginawdan]

Thanks Jimmy, your videos bring a bit of joy to my quarantined life.👍👍👍

[@LukeDorny]

You should make three of everything, Jimmy. It’s amazing how fast you work ad hoc, but seeing your methods change over three identical is even more interesting still. 👍

[@PaulMeyette]

Classic color combination. They look both delicate and sturdy. Love it.

[@ktulu193]

That's a good look, black steel and dark red leather. You had me scratching my head on how you welded the hinge pin before it struck me that you welded it to the outer leg pair and welded the inside spacer washers. Such a simple and elegant solution. That is why I love your videos

[@breakinn403]

Looks like an item you might want to sell. Simple and classy. Great job.

[@Eyagsf]

I love the way you always are reaching for new skills in different types of craftsmanship and artistry. It’s so fun to watch your level of expertise grow.

[@ProlificInvention]

I have this cool folding single post stool made in the 1930's, it's made from lacquered bamboo and balsa wood and has an ad for a piston rings brand on it. You balance on the single post much easier than you would think, and it easily holds my 1/8th of a ton ass. Anyway, It would be supercool to see a steel version and it could still be made fairly lightweight.

[@davebauerart]

Cool styling with the leather and hand-forged texture.

[@JavierSalcedoC]

The best thing about this stools is that you can use the structure as tongs for your forge. Priceless in a zombie apocalypse scenario

[@thewarpsyrhead]

Probably smash in a zombie’s skull too 🤷‍♂️

[@jayashcroft3822]

A true American Craftsman

[@buellmaster]

It’s been a great journey so far to follow you from the basement in New York to your new beautiful workshop and using new tools, while keeping up the traditional Diresta work alive. Great job as always!

[@jimmydiresta]

👊🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@alexandrep.2955]

Here in the Pantanal we use a lot of these benches, but we make them out of wood. Nice job Man 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@IlhanNegis]

this is nice to see, I wasn't the only one who uses illustration programs to create technical drawings.

[@sosteve9113]

they look very classy imo,well done

[@sgsax]

Really like the look of these, simple and clean. Glad Willie got an audio cameo! Thanks for sharing!

[@ManCrafting]

I think I Might make some of these. I still really want to make the 3 legged stools that Taylor made a couple of years ago. These just look easier to me. I like that you didn’t see the leather. Much more attainable.

[@Recicleitor_Maker]

thank you fellow for teaching us so many things! greetings from Spain

[@steveparker8723]

Those are pretty cool! The legs look like tong blanks.

[@motaman8074]

Simple and beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[@stoneinthefield1]

Now that is a directors chair! Beautiful!!!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very nice design and build. I like the color contrast between the steel, leather and copper rivets

[@carpintariarustica]

Sou seu fã! Aprendo bastante com seus vídeos!

[@ryankovaly3927]

Jimmy I’ve gotta say your videos are my favorite thing to watch ! I find myself watching old videos in the New York shop just because they are the originals and awesome , gotta say too the belt loop key holders are awesome !! I’ve got three of them now haha ... thanks again

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@CanCraneDoIt]

Love these. Love the color on the leather

[@andrewoperacz7427]

Very classy and elegant!!! 👍🏻

[@yellowmuginc]

Simple and sophisticated at the same time. I appreciate the whole process!

[@reforzar]

This would make a great flat pack kit.

[@ΘωμάςΠέτρου-ψ9β]

Looks sturdy as hell!

[@TheWoodLab]

Love the simple collapsible design. Excellent QA testing at the end too! Lol. - Jim

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I love these multiple material projects and to see your creative skill combinations. Thanks from Colorado.

[@amilcarmoncada1801]

Excellent video about these DiResta folding stools in steel and leather, my respects and greetings from Venezuela. Excelente video sobre estos taburetes plegables DiResta en acero y cuero, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.

[@alanscannell]

Top class 👍 love the design and the process. They look like old machine parts repurposed. Just beautiful

[@danielaragon5755]

I like the copper rivets and they are easier then sewing.

[@Dardrum]

Beautiful design

[@leatherbydragonfly]

Excellent camp chair Jimmy. A true inspiration

[@jamespunzel6293]

Beautiful simplicity! Gorgeous work!

[@thewarpsyrhead]

That bongo player’s hands have got to be throbbing after that fricken hammer sesh, sheesh!

DiResta Folding Stool: Built to last... ...Forever

[@aaroncashion7570]

Love the way you use so many material Jimmy. Keep up the great content!

[@danielaragon5755]

I'm going to give this a try using baltic birch plywood for the legs.

[@drhender6943]

Very cool little stools- I especially like the leather seats with the copper rivets. However, the tiny feet would quickly sink into softer soil. We’ll have to keep them on concrete or hardpack.

[@pistolpanda4582]

I have the sudden urge to watch Coming to America after listening to your background music 🇦🇫🇺🇸

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful job well done Jimmy

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

Nice industrial look to them.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful, Jimmy! Fantastic work! 😃 They look great! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Beautiful work, as usual, Jimmy. Thanks.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Well done Jimmy, I made one myself with added Canvas side pockets to hold gardening implements. I used a pre-existing frame though, I don't have a plasma cutter 😂

[@arkaitzsilveira1512]

SIIII, DIRESTA,,,POR FIN......👊💪💪💪

[@paulrizzo7571]

The old guys in the basement have turned the knobs on your favor Jimmy, your popping up in feed allot lately. Oh yeah great vid, thanks

[@jimmydiresta]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Dadmadeit]

Great design. 👍👍👍

[@scrapperdscrapperj3948]

Love those stools. Awesome work Jimmy D

[@gmgueifao]

You could make a premium director chair in leather with DIRESTA on the back so you can use it when you are on set. Then film the face of the director in his minor quality chair ;-)

[@madmax5579]

Beautiful job man I was wondering if you could share the plans please and God bless you man

[@GCustoms]

Beautiful stools! Your workflow is very inspiring!
