DiResta Three Canoe Paddles

This is the my first time making Paddles! I use Spalted Maple with accents of walnut and Wenge at the outside to create a strong leading edge. i made fast work of the carving using the bandsaw and the power planer.

Yo, sweet bandsaw.

[@shawnwilson1862]

Thanks for all the inspiration Jimmy! I worked in the woods for 14 years and now I'm a finish carpenter partly because of you!

[@user-uo7im5zv2s]

Old style video! Excelent! Its real Diresta!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Beautiful work Jimmy! This has been so helpful in the process of making my own paddles.

[@timberdish]

I spent the first couple of minutes wondering why the paddle was looking so different to the photographs - turns out it was the template :D Great job Jimmy, a pleasure to watch, as always.

[@garymarlow9612]

I really appreciate how you take craftsmanship and then move it into art! You make beautiful, useful pieces and share them with us in your videos. Thank you for your time and talent!

[@springwoodcottage4248]

From the first humans to 21st century folk everyone instantly knows what it's for making a connection linking back through all tool makers & all humans who have paddled on water, speaking to all our fears & joys. Thank you for sharing!

[@Jbrooks1219]

Man you really make that bandsaw look like easy work. When in reality one wrong move could destroy days of work. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. and mess ups.

[@kentblairl]

Well thanks, one more reason we'd like to have a bandsaw, that made quick work of carving the blank. We currently use a table saw and jigsaw. And congrats on joining the world of spokeshaves, what a fun tool, we use a vintage Stanley #51. Thanks for sharing the video! Clark and Skipper

[@LifeinaBus]

YOU ARE THE MAN, JIMMY!!! I always wanted to build some paddles and this has really given me the itch.. *MUCH LOVE ALWAYS BROTHER!*

[@saracinosalvage6062]

That’s a lot of work. I don’t care how many tools you got to make it go faster, you still gotta know how to work em. Good job Jimmy. Always a pleasure.

[@FigmentsMade]

These are beautiful and they're going to be such a great match to that gorgeous canoe. I can't wait to see them all together when the canoe is done!

[@obeezee]

Sweet bandsaw, good work on that project as well. You know it has to be said, classic Diresta. Thanks for the video.

[@imbok]

I love these 'process' videos where you speed up the action, but give us plenty of insight into how you do what you do. I hope you have many decades of making piles of sawdust and shavings in your future!

[@DaveDaHunt3R]

As i said in some previous vids, i love the old style DiResta projects, and i could never get tired of your contents! Awesome job , as always Jimmy! Much love from Naples (Italy)

[@alberswoodworks8347]

The restored bandsaw looked like it worked great for this project! Also, it was cool how you incorporated a variety of tools to shape the paddles, whether that be the bandsaw, power planer, spokeshave, angle grinder, or hand plane. They all had their purpose and strengths to get the project completed 👍👍 Awesome and inspiring build!

[@benjamincorderman794]

Beautifully done Jimmy! I am still trying to finish up my Ranger and then it is on to paddles! Great motivation!

[@tacitus101010]

Stunning work as usual Jimmy!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very nice, can't wait to see the finished canoe. Stripper canoes are super cool looking.

[@BurtonsAttic]

Power planer is the way to go with maple. Like the spalting!

[@thegag64]

Nick O. would be proud!! Very nice as always!!!!!

[@the-handy-fixer]

These are fantastic Jimmy. Thanks for sharing!

[@CammiesGarage]

I look forward to seeing your first voyage! Nice work, as usual.

[@sgsax]

Putting the "new" Delta through its paces on this one. :) Looking good!

[@davidweeks6090]

Missed this still of video. Great to see it again!!

[@Tinwoodie100]

So cool to watch this man at work. A true craftsman and inspiration!

[@JTWoodworks]

Loved seeing a little bit of the process in person at the Filson store. Thanks for sharing the whole process here too

[@caccadu12]

I haven’t watched your videos in a while now. What ever stupid reasons I’ve had, it feels good to be back and enjoy your awesome content.

[@xw6968]

You should be proud of your self Jimmy. What a magnificent job you done.

[@FredMcIntyre]

They look awesome, great job Jimmy! 👍👊

[@trevhaydon5090]

Jimmy, Considering you have never made paddles before, I think you have done a wonderful job with those you made. Thanks again my friend for taking the time to video and share your content. Much appreciated. All the best Jimmy from North London UK.

[@molegrip3860]

OUTSTANDING !!! 2 videos from Jimmy in a single weekend.......AND my homebrew beer is ready. :D

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, dude. Really beautiful!

[@twodogswoodworkingandwood6742]

Excellent video Jimmy. I guess you'll never be up a creek without a paddle.

[@bonkerswilli]

Every second is worth watching!!

[@DIYPD]

Your dream shop looks amazing and the paddles are stunning!

[@jaxithfox]

I love the mix of power and hand tools being used. Power to get the bulk off to save time and finish by hand.

[@joeduffy9764]

Wont ever be caught up @h!t creek without a paddle ever again! Great work Mr Jimmy

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

Just amazing!!! People need to watch just to realise how much work and effort goes into beautiful hand made pieces ;0

[@almagill]

Ah, have been waiting to see this one for a little while now. Did not disappoint! (Also, love the music in the last sequence!!)

[@xcyan2748]

Well done Jimmy!!!! They look incredible!!!!

[@davidatemail]

Sooo satisfying to watch this being made.

[@daddynutz024]

Great video Love the detail in the wood. Nice.

[@ThoenWorks]

Good mornin' Jimmy! Those are beautiful.😎

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you for doing what you do brother! You always seem to show the most efficient way to do something, like that power planer was a perfect touch. Sometimes it’s not about the journey but the destinations that matters! Thanks again brother nice work

[@okiefamily9244]

You're a madman on that bandsaw, brother! Love watching you work. Cheers from Dale, Oklahoma.

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

Nice looking paddles and canoe.

[@63256325N]

Like the hammer @ 2:35. Working art. A true craftsman. Thanks for the video.

[@nickzammeti]

Awesome buddy 🤗👍🏽👍🏽

[@mrimbusyt]

Great Job man 👍

[@MustardMade]

I’m totally making a paddle for my dads 68th bday coming up!!! Thanks Jimmy!!!

[@rmojo23]

Beautiful work!

[@Dopefish76]

Good stuff Jim! Even better than the video was the live demo at Filson - it gave tons of context to the video and now we get to see how the other 2 came out 🤘🏻

[@gladious7894]

Classic diresta. Very nice.

[@girliedog]

I can't wait to see the canoe and paddles being put to use.

[@jan-roarbernhardsen7626]

Love it. It looks amazing

[@StudioJLT]

Down n dirty Diresta. Love it!

[@michaelsepe5426]

BEAUTY >>> THANKS FOR THE REAL TIME SHOTS >>> FOR SENSE OF REALITY >>> 90% HARD WORK 10% GLORY >>> NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU ENJOY DOING IT BLESSINGS TO YOU AND TAYLOR >>> THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK ETHIC >>> A B C

[@MPWorkshop]

Canoe's coming along nice bro. Slick Video. Dig the paddles.

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

Wow, making oars actually looks like a huge project. All the "organic" lines. Maybe even more complex (time consuming) than a table or cabinet. It's like making 10 really nice axe handles by hand. Impressive.

[@CarlosMoraisBR]

Mais um ótimo trabalho com a marca Diresta.

[@JkCanvas]

Amazing work Mr Diressta

[@heathbauer3005]

Love it Jimmy breaking out the old hand planer

[@gee9037]

Hey Deristia is back no talking just good soiled vids !! Thanks

[@Wintergatan]

beautiful

[@techedfireman4981]

So cool! That "Make Everything" guy really put his stickers everywhere.😉😉😂😂

[@RUBIZEN]

Jimmy should make little brass paddles and put the Ice pick in the back end. After chopping up ice for your drink you can use the little paddle to stir it!

[@TheMuzShop]

Great job on the Paddles Bro!! 3 paddlepower should be plenty of power for that canoe, good choice. 😂👍👍

[@crackin2000]

Just what you need with good paddles... The sound of banjo music. 😁

[@masterofnone]

I learned so much! Thanks Jimmy

[@WOODRF]

Very good. Fantastic!

[@kmonnier]

The work evolution from 1 to 2 is astounding.

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Awesome looking paddles my brother,I like them they are very nice to later :)

[@AaronHendu]

I did a canoe paddle for my grade 6 wood shop final project...it was decorative though and I painted a mural of a muskellunge on the blade. I used a large band saw and a bunch of hand planers to make mine.

[@brandonrowoldt8306]

I love that you have a SMW shirt on while using a spoke shave. John would like that.

[@ricksky3111]

Inspired. Again. Thank you.

[@Viscontiorama]

dude you are looking really good! You still doing the jimmy diet of eating some and throwing the rest out , so funny.

[@strokerace4256]

Nicely done. I love my electric planer. It is well worth it.

[@davebauerart]

So cool. Seeing you carve with the band saw and planer makes it seem like it's not so scary to make a paddle.

[@ryanhaney7285]

Good work with the spoke shave. You made Nick Offerman proud.

[@sotirisl.6561]

The man can make EVERYTHING!!!

[@scotthaddad563]

The canoe and paddles look great! Maybe you can do a confabulation with Burt Reynolds and go on a little adventure down here in Georgia. Don’t forget to bring Ned Beaty along for comic relief. SQUEEEEL!

[@frankhagar4651]

Jimmy you are the Andre the giant of KZbin, thanks for the video.

[@Braeden123698745]

All of this will be in a museum one day.

[@ReyArteb]

saw the template you made and thought, 'plywood paddles? well this will be a short video'.... nice job as always.

[@MarcosLopez-hy3px]

Excelente gran trabajo maestro!!!

[@Willjpalmer13]

Great work jimmy

[@crackin2000]

Looks like someone needs a neat draw knife bench. There great. Great video very meditational.

[@heyimamaker]

Great work Jimmy!

[@heyimamaker]

I would love to see a project with you and Nick in it.

[@RichardMartin]

They look really cool, they’ve got a very “antique” vibe about them.

[@w.w.oklahoma6010]

Damn, I need to sit down and catch my breath!!! That was a whole lot of forming going on there..... wow!!! Thanks, w.w.

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

I felt every plane stroke bro uuuuuhh haaaaarrr haha,awesome video felt like days of hard work!

[@ScubaDude68]

A hand made canoe paddle just about perfectly defines “functional art”.

[@stephenrioles7554]

Gorgeous!

[@ooonurse33]

Banjo music at the end...nice touch...:-)

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Love how your upstate home shop looks like your NY city shop now. :)

[@peixe1beta]

Perfect job.

[@hawkdaddy64]

It's nice to know you have a one armed friend who still wants to row Jimmy :) Nice work.

[@multyplusprintsolution]

DIRESTA É SHOW!

[@MRSOMTHINBASIC]

Good work 👌
