[@allthingsben]

I love how your style and filming has been the same for years :)

[@laurivlehto96]

Yeah! And to think he doesn't even speed these up! That's just how fast he is.

[@allthingsben]

+Lauri Lehto hahah ;)

[@marnoi8754]

well, if you look very closely you can notice that he actually slows them down.

[@BritishBeeMan]

Yeah his style is great!

[@Max1dollar]

I heard he actually has all his videos on -3x speed 😳

[@michaelwilson4339]

Is it just me or does any one else want to see Jimmy and Adam Savage do a one day build over on tested? Also nice project and I love the brass hardware

[@spetro3387]

+Anonymous I vote neither. DiResta is cooler than both of them, combined.

[@Hellsatanx]

+Anonymous you got that completely backwards, Jamie is a perfectionist and Adam just likes to do thing his way.

[@Hellsatanx]

+Michael Wilson i was thinking the same thing

[@glennlawrie-smith8570]

No.

[@craigbporter]

I fear it would precipitate an apocalyptic extinction event. Jimmy: (without saying a word) "Check out these sweet ass brass drawer pulls that are the perfect finishing touch to this project." POW! zzzt zzzt Adam: "So I've gotta tell you about these drawer pulls... about 7 years ago I was on the set of this and that production and I ran into a guy who had these really interesting brass handled chisels. I asked him where he got them and he tells me about his uncle who is a brass worker in Milan and if I ever need any custom brass work he can hook me up. So on this project I an trying to decide on the perfect drawer pull when out of the blue I remember from years back that guy on this and that production whose uncle is a brass worker in Milan, only I don't remember the guys name. Well the set director over at this and that production is a friend of the guy who..."

[@frankcurley]

Grandpa always said " Ya got two eyes, two ears and one mouth, use them in proportion". I love how your videos exercise that. Any questions that I have, I re-wind and watch again and again and I learn from you huge. I have said it before and I will say it again, watching you is like being in my grandfather's shop when I was 12 years old. And I'm 54 now. Thanks!

[@jimmydiresta]

+Frank Curley thank you !!!!

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

Thanks for the inspiration Jimmy. I'm re-doing my wood shop from top to bottom and I'm planning LOTS of drawers of all different sizes. I absolutely love this project - Gave me great ideas to incorporate into my designs. Thanks again!

[@makingthings277]

I bet the "I'm never doing this again" came out a few times. "Just ten more"

[@jimmydiresta]

Hahahah

[@Tenzordk]

Just what I thought, but what a masterpiece

[@themadhacker9376]

+jimmydiresta How long did it take you to make all of those drawers?

[@ryannutter4669]

+Jon Gordon Lmao. I was thinking the same thing. I've learned that throwing together a jig for stuff is great. Even for small jobs. If I can make a jig, or do multiple cuts at once to make things go quicker, I'm all about it.

[@georgezarifis7409]

I really like the fact that this video is longer than usual... More Diresta = more better!

[@TheBushdoctor68]

Yea, well, if I had access to al off those nice tools Jimmy's using, then.... Well, I'd still make crappy stuff probably. I'm really good at watching videos though.

[@davidjefferson9456]

You should make a tutorial video of your skill:)

[@juanloji2846]

A

[@damirko]

Simply Beautiful, its like watching a famous artist just do his thing and being there from the start and the finish

[@JohnBare747]

Wow Jimmy that came out slicker than goose grease on Teflon.

[@soccerdude0236]

Is that a AvE reference??

[@Twisted07]

+Soccerdude023 haha i was asking myself the same thing

[@wannabewoodsmith4217]

Well it's definitely skucome that's for sure

[@wannabewoodsmith4217]

Thank you... I had NO IDEA of how to spell that

[@ONeillKeeganJay]

+Soccerdude023 I think I heard that in his last video on warranty sticker removal.

[@AndrewSetters]

Another thing of beauty! Your shop fixture is nicer than my actual furniture.

[@brukernavnfettsjit]

+Andrew Setters My thoughts exactly :p

[@DavesDiscoveriesChannel]

I'm always impressed by the way you think about things with such efficiency, like the way you were cutting the recesses in the drawer fronts by passing them through the saw in a row and then the little template you made up for the handles..

[@jdrew500]

This was an example of efficient, production workshop processes. Awesome!

[@Go2ISU]

That is one of my favorites. I need more enclosed storage, I want to be able to leaf blow my garage out and if I could put all my tools and small items away there would be far fewer nooks and crannies to hold the dust. Awesome job as always Jimmy!

[@MakeSomething]

That came out fantastic!

[@Loly920]

I have great respect for anyone who has the gift of woodwork. I would love one of this for my scrapbooking stuff. TFS

[@woodhog4154]

One great piece of workmanship from someone who obviously loves what he does!

[@ChopNHack]

Watching you work reminds me of a Mark Twain quote: Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection. I would have taken months to build that, LOL. Great work Jimmy!

[@t3chn01r]

Just watched damn near every one of your videos, excellent work brother! People see the short and sweet videos and don't realize what it actually takes to do this stuff. The sweat, the blood, the time away from loved ones, etc. Not to mention how hard it must be to film, work, edit, etc. as one person. Appreciate all the work you put into your videos and projects buddy!

[@jimmydiresta]

+thomas britton Thank you !!!!

[@JavierChiappa]

+thomas britton But it seems like a very gratifying type of work.

[@jiplix]

A pleasure to watch on this sunny Sunday afternoon.

[@WizardKingCorey]

You sir get the prize for super work. I love watching a master craftsman do his thing. Thanks for posting this, just to prove to the world that some people still do it right, and care about the quality of the product they produce.

[@MickeyCuervo36]

I like your little sanding disc on a stick thing. Looks kinda like a banjo. A "Sand-Jo," if you will XD

[@Mr50015405]

A great lesson in batch work, and the importance of jigs and templates (there's a tips video subject) Brilliant work as usual Jimmy D

[@Nickle314]

+Seans Workspace I agree. The jig for the brass card holders is so obvious when you see it. Makes everything aligned. That wasn't obvious to me until I saw it. Did you spot the error? Bottom draws have extra rebates where they aren't needed.

[@jimmydiresta]

+Nickle that was to keep the spacing not a mistake I knew it would be hidden. Thank you !!

[@Nickle314]

+jimmydiresta You're welcome. It's a cool project. On the jig front, that was really smart. Simple. Gives very neat results. How about a set of tips on jigs? You've got several in this video. You've the simple clamp as a stop. The drilling jig. Lots of possibilities with routers and jigs.

[@stamfordwoodworking2358]

I only discovered your channel about 2 months ago. I have really enjoyed going through your content and am blown away by the sheer range of your skills as much as the quality of the end work. It is genuinely inspiration. Thanks.

[@repalmore]

Skills and tools would not prevent me from making such a beautiful cabinet. My patients to do the exact same thing over and over and over again would do me in. Looks great Jimmy. Thank you.

[@Retroweld]

That is super cool. This was not a weekend project. This took you some time and it shows. That has to be the nicest set of drawers for a shop. Love it! Douglas

[@TobyKennedy]

Holy Handclamps, Batman - that crosscut sled is genius! Beautiful work, James - beautiful work...

[@BruceAUlrich]

+Toby Kennedy (thetobykennedy) Yeah, I've never seen a dado sled before.

[@bradleyburns6104]

+Toby Kennedy (thetobykennedy) jimmy*

[@natewalker7064]

I agree

[@bigredc222]

+Toby Kennedy (thetobykennedy) Building a nice crosscut sled is a project in itself.

[@rosieallbon5950]

Just what I would need for all of my tools! What a beautiful cabinet. Thank you for sharing. I ❤️❤️❤️ it. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺

[@hanzer99]

There is beauty in your skill and attention to detail you do with pride. Very good.

[@simplemanduke7128]

Watch out world Jimmy is getting dangerously organized!!!

[@jonruehle9186]

While I spend all of my time organizing.....Jimmy is gettin it done.

[@pastramichop]

Now all it needs is a giant spray painted DIRESTA across the front of it

[@pebblesthecat3625]

Truly beautiful piece of carpentry. Your grandchildren will be fighting over who gets it I think, never mind your kids ! Please carry on so those of us less able can learn how to do stuff like this. Thanks for sharing your skills with me.

[@todd_halfacre]

This is without a doubt my favorite video on KZbin. Every time it pops up I rewatch.

[@mcl12]

Hello mr diresta i am going through some rough times right now and for the past few weeks i have watched your videos multiple times each i love how you can randomly produce beauty

[@jimmydiresta]

+mouad choukri Thank you buddy!! thank you for the support!!! remember hard times are temporary!!!

[@dinobrooks5417]

+MoodiFLEX Related to hitting againgst walls and other such catastrophie

[@mcl12]

+MoodiFLEX i have no idea and neither do my parents , thanks jimmy i just saw your answer

[@IsaKocoglu]

+MoodiFLEX Google it: معاد

[@IsaKocoglu]

MoodiFLEX According to Google Translate: If it is an Arabic name, it means "Hostile" If it is a Persian name, it means "Ressurrection"

[@mileschun6093]

How does this guy have under 500K subscribers? These are amazing examples of craftsmanship!

[@AaronBelknap]

Awesome! I need this for my reloading room to put Boolits, etc in the drawers! I love it!

[@victorchavez1583]

One word, Incredible Thank you for sharing

[@basuramanya]

That looks like an old Library card cataloge. Very nice.

[@JonHowes1]

+Dan aka Basuraman My thoughts exactly!

[@MikeKapotsy]

Who was Dewey Decimal anyway? LOL

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

+Mike Kapotsy Dewey Decimal... Thanks for the great laugh!

[@jeffpritchard42]

Agreed (though Jimmy's looks nicer). Libraries the world over are tossing and CraigsListing these cabinets by the thousands these days. Today your average library looks more like a server farm than a library of olde.

[@MickeyCuervo36]

+Jeff Pritchard Seriously? They are?! I need to hit up Craigslist then... I need one of these desperately for my garage. Hell, two if they're cheap enough...

[@vibeslord]

I think it's time KZbin gives us a Love it button, like don't express my emotions when watching videos like this, great job keep it up!

[@simplemanduke7128]

Jimmy you are a true American Artisan. Keep on keeping on.

[@emanuelkain]

Just got one thing to say....simply BEAUTIFUL!!

[@peterwarren4792]

I totally need one of these

[@momomohuss9738]

jimmy , you are the Best of Best thank you or your work.

[@jimmydiresta]

+momo mohuss thank you !!!

[@dateldatel2812]

zŕï

[@Obelix_rl]

hi jimmydiresta, beautiful video, but i have a question, what's the name of the clamps at 1:14 ?

[@Obelix_rl]

thank you very much !

[@user-it6vf7sk6b]

Dave Goff a

[@gavinfields4654]

I always like the fact that, you show amazing detail in your work!!!

[@1995dresser]

That is way too nice to be in a dirty old Machine shop. should be in my living room Great Job !

[@Clickspring]

An instant classic.

[@Razgriz_One]

+Clickspring If it's got brass, it definitely has class.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you brother!

[@stefanwalter2601]

+Clickspring don't look here. Make more machining videos my friend, can't wait for the next vid on your channel :D

[@JanForest]

excellent use of a drawer- put one hammer into it....great job!

[@TheMarcAPullen]

This is one of my favorite videos from you, glorious work, reminds me of my grandfather's old cabinets he had in his old roofing business. Classic stuff.

[@sedenter]

Sooo much valuable information in just 17 minutes. Appreciate it! Thanks Jimmy! Can't get enough of this!

[@MattDiresta]

F'n Awesome! Great!

[@kking2221]

I think It'd be cool if you included somewhere how long these projects take.

[@dragonflygrandma]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@Wraithman168]

Lots of good ideas picked up just watching a whole project from start to finish in time lapse like this. Thanks!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Legend has it that Jimmy won't make love until he has stenciled DIRESTA onto the condom. What a fantastic looking set of tool drawers, great job!

[@stephensallak2059]

InnaSoulSounds You saw how close his fingers were to that roundover bit? Jimmy doesn't use protection; he has "DIRESTA" DiRectly tattooed onto his penis.

[@Sychothera]

if you look closely you can see he actually speeded it up .

[@ashoakes1657]

*english*

[@kevinjames6087]

edchaves haha south park reference

[@goofyvids2978]

Oh yeah yeah.You are right you know.

[@silasweaver8268]

Actually this is just the speed that Jimmy works at, we mere mortals just cannot comprehend his true skill

[@robertw.1499]

Really? Thanks man, thought this was his normal speed 😂👍

[@caitlyn7310]

Old Diresta videos lull me right to sleep. Anyone else watch Diresta before going to bed/taking a nap? Just me? Oh.

[@FromDarkness2Light203]

Best video ever for building a Tool Drawer. Thank You for The Teaching. I Enjoyed It Greatly

[@ianthomas3653]

Do you arrange your tools using the Dewey Decimal system? Awesome build.

[@Aristocob]

I wonder that too. At one time Jimmy was talking about the Casey Neistat system which could prove interesting if the drawers are fully interchangeable.

[@UncleMullet]

+Ian Thomas LOL!

[@theguniomi6905]

Do you use sketchup or just make a rough drawing on paper?

[@AlessandroAllegretti]

In all your videos there's always at least one new trick for the folks you share!! Amazing execution, amazing drawer. Thank you!

[@jacobb4077]

Nothing better than 17 minutes of diresta

[@wortheffort]

really well thought out build. just wish he'd of taken the time to line up the grain on all the fronts. woulda just taken a little bit of labeling to keep em straight since he cut em all out of same board and the sizes cut were all grouped. It's the little things like that that don't take much effort but put projects over the top for me.

[@erikhafer1415]

You do it. Then post your vid for us to criticize.

[@christschool]

I still say you need to add your name to every inch of work surface because I constantly forget your name.

[@Redelinghuys1986]

Dude, it`s people like you that motivate me to TRY and do stuff like this!!! The quality of your workmanship is unreal!!!

[@fitzyholden1036]

I would normally only allow storage in my workshop to be made from steel but I'd be happy to have something that well made in wood. Very nice work mate.

[@GiacoWhatever]

Porn!!! I've been waiting so long for this one... Came out even better than I anticipated!!!

[@EzraYong]

... Build porn?

[@JaxTheReaper21]

+Giaco Whatever Pre-mature anticipation?

[@slipperysam1337]

you should really label some of your stuff

[@jasonstokes9639]

he dose everything he makes has his logo on it diresta

[@BarafuAlbino]

Looks more like "everything he touches".

[@DJFalkoHannover]

Its annoying ...

[@faridanurieva1512]

Barafu Albino ikr!

[@AHustleIsLikeASideOfFries]

This is to prevent piracy/theft of his IP

[@tomsterism]

Utterly magnificent genius, Mr. Diresta!

[@NatTayHill]

This was INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@JaxTheReaper21]

Could someone please help me out with a problem I have? I'm having trouble finding out what this guys name is. Does anyone know?

[@stepheneyles2198]

Which guy? I can only see an artisan in these videos...

[@9009matorres]

Guy? You misspelled God.

[@UncleMullet]

Hardware store clerk elbows a fellow employee as Jimmy Diresta walks in. Jimmy- "Hey guys I'm here to get two gallons of wood glue." One employee shouts "Yesssss!" The other one looks disappointed, pulls $5 out of his wallet and hands it to the happy guy who starts ringing up the sale and says, "Sorry Mr. Diresta, me and Frankie here had a bet when ya walked in. He said "Five bucks it's nails" and I said "No way- it's glue." Jimmy laughs, puts a box of glue in the floorboard to his scooter and later disappears into a basement on the lower East side like Batman with a table saw.

[@jimmydiresta]

+Uncle Mullet hahah glue handles most of the work!! nails are to keep the parts together for the gluing process!!

[@UncleMullet]

Jimmy- What makes you a true master is how your share your technique's and discoveries. I really don't know how you get it all done. I suspect that you have built a time machine. All of NYC stops with the flip of a switch in your basement.

[@tricky.pixels]

Quite simply...stunning...in every way

[@eln74]

Incredible work of art, tnx Mr. Diresta for sharing!!!

[@214rwoz]

Absolutely Beautiful but i gots to know, how long did it take you ?

[@glennlawrie-smith8570]

Yes. Including the average time for each drawer.

[@1pcfred]

+im rwoz How long did it take? Who cares? It is done now. The only question that remains is how long will it be enjoyed? I am going to go out on a limb and say a real long time.

[@rockhoggaming]

5:59 He wrote his name with glue! :o I can't be the only one to notice..

[@TheMosani]

Everybody notice, he even showed it to the camera with a slow motion...

[@GalleryBones]

+The Mosani shh don't tell him

[@watchtimetube]

That came out so good. Wow.

[@KK6PD]

Good wood, repetition, jigs, the right power tools, & a wee bit 'O skill, you end up with a really nice looking cabinet! Well done

[@SQ_og]

[@habs798693]

Anyone else lose their erection at the end when he had to use flathead screws?

[@tommypetraglia4688]

@Denise Viar Flathead screws were all there was back in the day when this style was common. FH's are totally appropriate

[@theaardvark9922]

My favourite piece by far! Reminds me of the old Victorian apothecary cabinets.

[@ronron8464]

You are amazing, awesome talent!

[@DarkJarris]

you know you're in for a good time when Jimmy makes 17 minute video. then you realise that if its 17 sped up minutes for us, it must have been HOURS for him. appreciation goes through the roof!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Masterclass, A joy to watch. Thanks 👍🎸☠️👍

[@handydan1591]

I can't think of anything to say except wow. The excitement when I see a new diresta video

[@MrMkirk23]

Amazing as always! Thanks for sharing Jimmy D.

[@megad00die]

I enjoyed watching this more than I thought I would have

[@CanadianMang]

You are a man of great patience.

[@antemanduric5220]

Jimmy you creations are amazing!

[@Bbendfender]

Jimmy, you are one of the most innovative wood workers I have ever seen.

[@maximecolleter3747]

I find your videos so relaxing, and I like the fact that you don't stop to explain what you are doing, and instead leave us figure it out ourselves :D

[@ProjecthappylifeNYC]

This just came up in my feed, and I'm surprised by how nice it is to see one of your older videos once in a while! It gives a nice perspective on your career and how you haven't gotten to where you are now without a whole lot of work!

[@jimmydiresta]

Lory Henning thank you for the kind words!

[@doacarnage]

I have always wanted a nice big Apothecary cabinet but cant afford what people want for an old original piece. Your vids are some of the best on youtube, just loved the printing press episode and wished there was a follow up. This vid has covinced me to build my own cabinet, you're the best Jimmy and deserve all good things that are coming to you.

[@steventhomas7611]

Professional. Outstanding.

[@nburt]

Bravo! I seriously need to build this. Great job!

[@VAXHeadroom]

Holy moley that's a lot of pieces. I like the brushed on wax on the drawer outsides and the brass pull jig ideas!! And beautiful of course!

[@pilotdiana]

Unbelievably beautiful! TFS

[@avysdesigns1640]

Came out awesome-very fancy!

[@Bifffoley]

Wow, that's all I can say is WOW. Not only to you have some mad woodworking skills and patients, you seem to have the KZbin skills to boot. Thanks for the post. Great.

[@billg7813]

Thanks for taking the time to post your vids. I always learn something and usually it is something I should have thought of but I seem to over-complicate things. This tool drawer is fantastic

[@darrylbrook5968]

what a piece.... great work Jimmy!

[@makermarx]

I'm learning so much, so quickly, so creatively, so entertainingly (no auto-correct, must be a word) , ... feel like I'm jacked into the matrix. Thanks Jimmy.
