DiResta

[@TheJudeJane]

Wow!! You are so talented! Please wear gloves and mask. Please protect yourself! You are AMAZINGLY gifted and I want you to stay healthy so you can enjoy many years doing what you love to do. Your skills on that box from start to finish - the dovetails, the smooth closures...impressive!! God bless your hands.

[@munched55]

I loved the way those push-button locks closed. Veeerrry satisfying.

[@stevesillett3004]

You are the greatest craftsman! This is your finest display to date. I salute you.

[@baldrdasire6908]

It is pleasant to watch when a person loves what he does. That would be more such people in different fields. Hello from Russia!

[@LordLuminor]

I'm becoming carpenter and it's so awesome to get the inspiration and see all the tiny tricks from a master

[@PaulMeyette]

That's beautiful. I love the 2 tips on installing the hinges, CA glue before screws and Bandy clamps to line it all up!

[@thomaslamora1679]

i love hammering the rows of nails in the top and bottom - in fast motion... awesome build, as always

[@handmadeisbetter]

I've rarely seen such a wide variety of creative and efficient techniques of you sir. The big new workspace let you work more efficient, but the old workshop let you get to that point where are your skills are now! Huge respect!

[@Odood19]

You certainly have an eye for quality. You inspire me to keep working with my hands, despite my lack of experience and expertise, so I may one day be even half your level. This channel has been pure gold since day 1, and even before when you were doing dumpster antique restoration.

[@GTL77]

Nice build I’ll have to remember that trick to get the doors and flat with the big sanding block

[@inayat21189]

Yet another magical build. That smile and the kiss hehehehe super cute. Love the attention to details. The brass fittings and their sounds. The use of chisel and neatness of hinges. Kudos!

[@simplelifediy1772]

This reminds me (when you were putting in the small black nails) of a gift my grandfather gave me when I turned 4... It was a "junior" tool set that had real tools resized for small hands (The hammer, saw, pliers, screwdrivers, tape measure etc. were fully capable for a 3yo). It also had all the materials to build a wooden tool box for the tools. Of course you would never see this "toy" for sale for today's kids, but it was a great introduction into tools and woodworking.

[@juancamilobastidasaponte1588]

Surelly this is the most beautiful woodcraft Diresta's video I have seen. Lovelly.

[@egoistlee5427]

You are my best teacher! From Russia with love!

[@bobmcbride7058]

Ive seen all your videos and I still love how you show from mind to paper to a thing. Thank you.

[@greatitbroke]

I remember that build the first time I saw it. Loved it them love it now. Thanks Jimmy.

[@johndelepine4856]

Great Job, very nice hardware.

[@SasduPlessis]

Now thats what I call entertainment! Enjoyed watching a master going at it!

[@randynovick7972]

Nice box! Sooo many nails ... as many as there are stars in the sky. Beautiful!

[@robertodemichelis6013]

For me who am Italian, the land of the best artists, you are the number one. I would love to know how to do one thousandth of the things you know how to do. Congratulations

[@joepie221]

Nice piece of work Jimmy. that box is going to outlast us all. I also like the opposed wedge trick when you glued up the boards. I use exactly the same setup to hold parts during mass finishing operations. Works well. Take care bud.

[@vanduraful]

Holy crap I thought we time traveled for a second there. I miss new diresta! Haha

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

For what it's worth, I like these throw back videos.

[@rosannapadilla8513]

I would love one this wooden sewing tool box is awesome

[@hugoruas]

Congratulations, Diresta! It was very beautiful to the box. Thank you for sharing.

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Bravo! Adorable mix of strength, function & beauty. Thanks for sharing!

[@9and7]

We should call this 'Reminiscing on the Old Shop' Series. The Feels.

[@miketabar2327]

You had me cracking up with the sound of the cars going by. Sounded like the jetsons were driving by. The the belt sander sounded like a dog having a tug of war over his favorite bone. Jimmy Diresta you are always classic new or old Jimmy.

[@3bnjo3]

Love the super glue hinge trick!

[@EddyW01]

Great build Mr Diresta, what a brilliant way to sand the edges of a box I will try and remember that one, thank you.

[@aaron-bieber]

I might be the only person who has noticed that Jimmy has a nice little watch collection. I request a video!

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

He has shown them before I’m certain

[@mjremy2605]

I noticed too. Watches are eye candy for the arms.

[@LitoGeorge]

When this man goes, it will be a helluva auction/ garage sale. Wish I could be there. Great stuff Mr D

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

You're wishing for his demise so you can git some cool stuff ??? 🥳 😟 "I'm sorry for your loss...now... about that router, I'll give ya ten bucks & not a penny more... " 😬 😂🤣😂🤣

[@LitoGeorge]

@@peterfitzpatrick7032 lol! I'll give him 10 and 2 pennies. Sold! (and yeah no, I don't wish anyone's demise)

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I really enjoyed this video. It's hard to believe it was 17 minutes long. Went by fast. Great looking box. Loved the build. I do have to admit... After listening to your recent podcast yesterday... I did chuckle when you clapped.

[@nbrowser]

Beautiful, simply beautiful. Jimmy, your work is awesome.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Great of you to post your old work. I wonder if the Companies could have seen the future. Wait it just went by. Here it comes again...... recursion.... THANKS

[@MegaDeath458]

It's hypnotic to see the nails hammered on. Amazing video!

[@ChrisBeardsley]

We'll all have our preferences, but I like and miss these videos - nice to see the TBT.

[@christopherdubour6662]

Worth the rewatch, I always learn something and get inspired from your videos. This wasn’t THAT long ago, some shots in the “new” warehouse shop, and some in the old nyc shop. I regret not visiting that basement shop when I saw you were moving!

[@fabiodm6801]

Hi jimmy, I've been following you from Italy for many years. Every yours project is always surprising. I love all your project and this project is one of most beautiful for its simplicity and its style. Congratulations for your youtube channel and your projects. Kisses from Italy!

[@walterortona3162]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos

[@girliedog]

A craft box any maker would be proud to own. Some pretty slick hardware there Diresta.

[@JPeffingham]

Gotta remember to hug my projects like Diresta. I know them feels.

[@alonzosanchez8577]

I Miss the old shop I enjoyed throw back Thursday

[@zakimaruu]

The editing on this is nice. Sped up just enough to make the hammer & nail part hypnotic. Thanks!

[@안전관리자D]

Oh my!!! Are you recycling woods? Wow!!! Fantastic!! Real carpenter!!

[@ThePaulus2010]

Wow the old shop defenitly had a lot of character! Great video Jimmy

[@Creator_Nater]

Verrryyy beauuuty! Jimmy, we want to go to our big box stores and buy white battery tools with black DIRESTA on them. You could sell an adapter that will convert whatever battery line ppl are invested in to work with your tools. I know, I just made a video showing how to use DeWalt batteries with Harbor Freight tools. You could do a Kickstarter like Giaco! We want our Diresta tool line, and we want it now!

[@brianmurray667]

Great job! Your approach makes everything look easy.

[@BucurIonNiculae]

There are so many you can learn from this video, thank you for your work... 😍😍😍

[@richardcary5751]

Nice sewing case! Great design with so many finishing touches.

[@leomanselto]

I loved it. I think You are a great artist.

[@sapelesteve]

Not that I would ever need one of those boxes but that is some awesome workmanship going on there Jimmy! Just fantastic woodworking! .................. :)

[@chriswhigham550]

I liked the box in the box, at the end.... 1/8" Finger joints .....just Awesome......

[@JointerMark]

Thank you for posting this! I greatly enjoyed the whole process from initial sketch to filled tool chest.

[@florivaldopereirajunior5389]

Parabéns Jimmy...... mais um trabalho obra de arte!!!!!

[@eddyc4509]

Este compa siempre haciendo de las suyas, quiero una mesa de trabajo igual de aguantadora que la de él. Nice job!

[@matthewjohnston1400]

Truly beautiful work.

[@johnheyden7277]

I'm afraid if i keep complementing you on what a great job you do, you will cease to be the humble, talented, creative guy you are So let me say "You're no Norm Abram!" Of course i'm kidding and this is another great project......keep it up.....

[@driftlessjoinery5059]

Love that nailing sequence. Fun to see all the shops. The one you were moving out of and the one you were moving into, and the one at the house. Great stuff my friend.

[@altaircleto340]

Wonderful work brother! Congrats...!

[@henrik1205]

what.... no CNC and a small workshop... You have Changed man.... we want the hi-tech Diresta back!!! Great video as always.... Thanks for the inspiration :D

[@mb_art_official]

Calling it DIRESTA CLASSIC is brilliant. Loved the video already back in the days!

[@phpBasics]

The hammering of the nails was quite satisfying. :)

[@shinigamikuroshitsuji336]

An old video but awesome I saw it many times 😁 i like it so much

[@ektopia]

Gluing the hinges in first, genius! Thanks D.

[@Henchman1977]

Love that dovetail method!

[@Henchman1977]

Sorry, finger joints.

[@daviddevillers6790]

love that nail-hammering effect! great job!

[@TheAmandaStudio]

Great work! Nice box 👍

[@mrb4408]

I always grin when you do a magic nailing.

[@johntheloft]

Great build Jimmy - loved it.

[@lancehatch4475]

I just read your description. I thought this video seemed familiar. It was worth watching a second time anyway.

[@michaelcalkins8079]

Beautiful as always

[@richb313]

Nicely Done Jimmy. I especially liked the Top and Bottom Panels. You must have had to plane off about half the thickness in order to get thin enough stock. Great Looking Piece.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

I like the old Diresta. I miss when you use to talk. I miss the vlogs. I liked it when you use to make videos. :).

[@diyohan2226]

J'ADORE je veux la même pour ma boite de pêche ! 😋 bravo excellent travail.

[@kafaliwen2868]

So fine, great job as always

[@jpnahuel]

muy bueno jimmy ! muy bueno los accesorios rockler.

[@BearMaked]

I'm glad you remembered to put that hammer in the box at the end. Would hate to be mid-sewing-project and realize you left your hammer elsewhere!

[@lisag2771]

Awesome work!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Very nice Jimmy, love the hardware choice too.

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

love how it closes SHARP !! Beautiful work :)

[@socalboomer]

love the old-school Diresta! :)
