I sat in a forest and would hear the birds sing. I was cut down so Jimmy could make things. I felt his hands push and pull. I just thank God I'm not a salad bowl.

[@danthemakerman]

Listening to the podcast it really made me think about being too precious with wood. I have a variety of small pieces that I'm saving for the king's shoes that I realized that I should probably just use up. Great build.

[@rafezetter8003]

I did this just 2 days ago with some mahogany that I had prepped for another project... a couple of years ago that didn't get off the ground, and I was like, "but it's mahogany" and then I looked at my STACK of reclaimed mahogany I've got (quite a lot) and I was like "yeah yeah ok ok - fine I'll use it and prep more IF I ever get around to doing that project".

[@MrTapanes]

"Saving for the king's shoes" What a great phrase. Am currently sitting on about a dozen 10 & 8/4 slabs (accumulated over a while) that I've been saving for something special. I guess I should try to make something special then.

[@yellowmuginc]

Another great build that will be here for over a century inspiring people

[@edciasiii3308]

Beautiful work! I love that you always push yourself to do things that are outside your comfort zone.

[@quincekreb6798]

Very nice work! Thank you for sharing this build.

[@andyc972]

Great Result Jimmy, loving the organic feel of this stool, thanks for sharing your feelings while doing this, it's a great help to know that someone with your skill and experience can still feel intimidated and be anxious about committing before starting a challenging project with a beautiful piece of timber !

[@jeffharvey8283]

I love your approach to projects. I'm an illustrator, and at this point with enough projects under my belt, I don't like to overplan from the beginning so I can let whatever I am doing become what it needs to.

[@Marc_Miller]

I can fully understand the initial apprehension! Finished piece looks so good. Thank you for showing and narrating your process.

[@LaverneLovatt]

My favourite project you have done. Simple is elegant

[@TLZ]

Just found your podcast with Bob and Dave. I binge listen whenever i have free time. It inspires me to get to work.

[@clydedecker765]

Sam Maloof loved the wood and always waited until the design called for that piece of wood to be used... Other times he designed the piece to fit the wood ... You picked the right man to inspire your design here. Great work.

[@paradisefalls37]

Beautiful stool! I love the classic Walnut wood! Nice craftsmanship as always Jimmy! Well done .

[@CreativeIdeasMaker]

As a person who works in the field of renovation and carpentry, I must say that you are wonderful, you have excellent and practical explanations, practical techniques and skills, and you are also a creative person. Every time I watch you, I enjoy working in this field and seeing people like you.

[@jimrosson6702]

Looks amazing what a great build Thanks as always for sharing your experience and talent with us all Jimmy.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

[@MrDanyoumell]

Beautiful Job Jimmy

[@214rwoz]

As always, thanks for all your time and effort. 1in7

[@FilamentFriday]

Looks awesome. Well done!

[@gabebosarge1521]

I miss your old videos where you didn’t care about anything. You would use your zoom edit and just show us how it’s done. You gave us an idea. Love you diresta been watching you since I was 17

[@martinarcher1503]

Jimmy, you are an inspiration. Thank you!

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Absolutely love the chunky, organic lines of this stool. Awesome work. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@mrb4408]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JIMMY!!! That’s a real beauty. Love the engraving.

[@purerhino]

Nice work! Love the phantom logo.

[@garthbutton699]

Love and respect back to you,thanks for sharing this project with us🤗😎🤗😎

[@DJLo77]

Great job and craftsmanship Jimmy!

[@reforzar]

It’s a joy to watch you work on the bandsaw. Love that American.

[@Shawnbbeckner]

Incredible build. I like how you used the disc sander to get those flat joints. Really good lesson in how to stay free in the build. That total boat looks awesome. The boots are incredible too. Hopefully Carolina gets a chance to film some live sessions with it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥👊✊💪🤠

[@nostalgiamaker1561]

Amazing, your projects are always inspiring for a hobbiest like myself.

[@legiersworkshop]

Damn that is clean!! Great job, Jimmy!

[@ianrodness7526]

Gorgeous!!! Dude, was hoping to see it in the space it will live!!! ah well. Beautiful work.

[@MichaelNatrin]

Impressive work!

[@scottoldham7459]

Nice work and a good edit.

[@heyimamaker]

Love it! I was reminding me of Sam Maloof A few days ago I thought I'd try my hand at building a stool, nothing like this but just to make something different.

[@TheClBlues]

Sam Maloof could be proud of this stool, thanks for sharing !

[@SweetTooth8989]

That looks really good. That's a solid stool for sure that's never going to break. I thought it also looked really good before you took the palm sander to it, with all the lines and slight divots from the wood carving disc. Gave it a raw look. But it's also beautiful the way you did it.

[@missromiea]

Beautiful stool.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister Jimmy beautifully done good job

[@SteveDrees]

Stellar stool. Well done.

[@ALPHASASYLUM]

[@RicardoJunqueira]

It looks great!!!

[@ianroughley1933]

That is amazing, nice job 👌

[@shawnataylor7998]

Beautiful!❤

[@techrfun]

Love your old bar clamps. I have several old ones like those. Not to flashy but sturdy enough. ClampOn

[@esiebert7625]

To quote Jim Carrey: B-E-A-Utiful!

[@heliarche]

Beauty! I have a chunk of hickory and you have me thinking... Those U-haul felt blankets make for a great sound deadener/insulation. Myself and my Wife gutted an 86 VW Jetta and the old insulation/sound deadener was shot. A Neighbor up the hill had a few of those blankets that he gave to us.

[@sapelesteve]

Incredible work on that sculpted stool Jimmy! Really awesome logo as well! Double H Boots' hired the right person to do that job! BRAVO! 👍👍👏👏

[@karenalefounder4083]

Really awesome. Great make Jimmy.

[@TotalBoat]

Sooo cool! Beautiful work, Jimmy!!

[@jimmydiresta]

❤️❤️❤️

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

You're a talented guy who knows his strengths and weaknesses and his tools! I sculpt my furniture projects and use the tools I know. Was thinking about the 1 inch blade for cutting ( new) lol! Great "on the run" pattern making. Always good to hear you discuss the mental process. I always quote you about learning on the first piece. Then I hope I can remember it! LOL!

[@Meister1551]

You are a master fabricator the stool is awesome and once again a very interesting and enjoyable video.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Another amazing piece 👍🏻

[@nhercb23]

Well-done!

[@eightstringibanez]

That was really cool to watch. It’s a great piece.

[@billybobholcomb8768]

That is a gorges stool. It will support many great pickers in its existance. This is what we all hope for, to build things that last.Not disposable junk!

[@docolemnsx]

I've been bandsaw sculpting a walnut chunk that I saved from the firewood pile just last week. I felt a little naughty doing it, knowing I've cut the tree limb myself just a year back, and knowing I could do so much more stuff with the rest of the parts that I milled back then, or just stacked for bbq; every now and then I would pause and ask myself "what would Jimmy do?" 😅

[@dmitryadam2901]

Моё глубокое уважение. Стул на тысячу лет..

[@markduggan3451]

Very impressive stool.

[@CODENAME]

work of art this stool. i luv stuff like this

[@thanajon]

Beautiful. I love the natural "grown" look of the legs.

[@theangrywoodturner9972]

I love the solid look. .awesome only thing I would have suggested is elongated holes in the stool so the seat could expand and contract with moisture changes and not split the seat😊 (but I'm no expert that is for sure) great job!

[@jewfish68]

Excellent result. One to be very proud of Jimmy.

[@jimmylovesbikes]

stunning ❤

[@Strawdozz]

Good, solid stool. For screws one can also use the beeswax trick, works well.

[@steveyodog]

That band saw is very cool. Nice project.

[@anthonym612]

Great build, Jimmy! Dig your boots, as well.

[@mm9773]

I think it would be well worth making another one - this chunky one will look great in a show room, and a stool from thinner stock would work really well at home.

[@juliansuarez3849]

So cool Jimmy!

[@Yaketyyak21]

Lovely old Job.

[@scotter_dotter]

Thanks for telling us your thought process. It really helps.

[@createdesign]

Great job as always 💪🏽😘

[@rickypacheco]

Loving these voiceover versions.

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

That's freaking sweet Jimmy! Hard to beat the figure of walnut🎉

[@WoodaxDesign]

Awesome project, enjoyed watching it! Thanks for sharing

[@jeffsmith1858]

Great work. Always look forward to your videos.

[@Kernowwoods]

Perfect timing dude. I want to make a guitar stool for myself. Thanks for sharing your process 🤙

[@texastruckjunky]

Awesome stool! As always love your work.😎

[@Fireballsocal]

I just took my second tour through Sam Maloofs house in Ca. The amount of work on his property is amazing. Some of his joints are near invisible. Some have been worked to showcase the joint itself, drawing attention to it. There is still a storeroom filled with walnut there but good choice woods were hard to come across even then. The local lumber store, Petersons, would contact him when they received a particularly good shipment.

[@bigbird2451]

I love using the cut offs from large table legs to make smaller side tables.

[@strokerace5468]

Awesome. I’ve got a fat stock of Walnut. It’s intimidating to me. I’m waiting until the perfect project

[@xpndblhero5170]

Beautiful.... 😮👏❤️

[@levyrogers6979]

Great work my friend. I mean seriously just Wow!!!

[@calholli]

I'd like to see you make one just like this... But using nothing but the bandsaw (and the jointer). Like when you first glued it all together. You could make a pair of them. Nice and chunky, rough and quick and easy. Make it a test to see just how efficient you could be and make it in the least amount of steps and the least amount of time. No finish work at all. That's how an engineer thinks. I love stuff like that. Ultra efficient, easiest process with the least amount of work. Just a good design
