✔ DiResta 12 HUGE Lathe

[@bilelguizani1471]

Thank you Jimmy for sharing your ingenuity with people around the world! cant be on youtube without watching Jimmy Diresta videos, or repeat watching old ones!!

[@techedfireman4981]

I am honored to put you in contact with the lathe owner, glad things worked out with it. I will have to get one of those ice picks, See you in Boston!

[@ccssk8er123]

TechEdFireman where in Boston?

Christopher Robertson do you know the time and details?

[@MarkRimmell]

Excellent news about the HUGE lathe. Hope we get to see some of the restoration on that. A few years back I was trying to rescue a lathe that was on a mine museum scrap heap. By the time they decided who had the authority to sell it and yes they'd sell it to me, 3 years had passed and it was a solid lump of rust, a truck had backed into it and cracked the bed, and much of it had gone missing. Heartbreaking as it was in pretty good condition when I first saw it.

[@dtb4379]

Thanks for not having a boring product placement video, I find it entertaining seeing you work on/with the thing you're sponsoring :) Keep up the work Jimmy!

[@SquirrelFromGradLife]

those chickens... act like they own the joint

[@dananelson3534]

Why I'm a fan of composting toilets and grey water systems, but like you said it was built 100 years ago. Clay pipe was cheaper than cast iron to make. Love the old lathe, look forward to seeing it run. Cool running into other graphic artists. Cats chase mice, I don't think it's even for food, but more instinct. Thanks for posting Jimmy.

[@TheHandystanley]

Awesome! Have an awesome time in Boston! Love the farm pics and updates!

[@andrewquiett3388]

It's awesome to hear you're so close. I've got the bug for creating and have no experience but I've been inspired by your countless videos to get into metal, leather and woodworking, as well as doing negative molds for metal casting. I just want to create and your channel is such a cathartic outlet for that. Keep doing great work, learning, perfecting and finding inspiration--it spreads. Much love Jimmy!

[@BrookNBones]

At 2:20 I totally felt your pain. Clay pipes and tar rope seals when they wanted to keep them from leaking and my house was built in the late 50's around 58 I believe. My place is on a man made plateau, to level things out for the hill we sit on. The plumbing under that plateau is going to be a pain to replace if we ever get to that point. But the part that goes out to the septic system we replaced with all new 4" PVC sewer pipe. That was a fun adventure. We also had to have the tank cleaned because a tree had cracked the lid and allowed dirt to fill the tank, the major problem. Minor problem was cracked pipe that had collapsed.

[@TheVonsovicz]

I like it when you turn trash into something new and useful. Hugs from Curitiba, Brazil!

[@colin8532]

I love your build videos, but I think these are now my favorite. Thank you :)

[@ebuford]

Awesome lathe - on units that big it's possible to bend the bed if you pick it up using a forklift under the bed - best bet is running a chain through the tail end legs and around the headstock housing. I'm sure you know all this but I thought I'd mention it. Thanks for the updates - I'm really glad you started doing the vlog!

[@athiker7209]

The piano music was awesome, I could listen to that all day long.

[@krismarkduthie2178]

Poor Taylor! Lou Lou can't help but protect her land! Another great one Jimmy!

[@bigboibunz]

Excellent Craftsmanship! Love the way you edited the footage. Super pumped for the upcoming videos

[@TrustinTimber]

All City Crew going to take the DIRESTA stencil to new heights.

[@sportflyer]

Those people stealing your content... good that you are getting on top of it. I love you, Jimmy Diresta :)

[@DisturbedShifty]

Yeah. I caught that Make Technology one about two weeks ago. I reported it to KZbin and the next day it was marked as a private channel. There were people actually defending the channel saying it was a legit DiResta parnter. Shit pissed me off.

[@rtesimpson]

why no look at it as free advertising for Jimmy?

[@sportflyer]

Really? Jimmy makes (a tiny bit of) money each time we view his videos. That's what pays him and how he can stay in the workshop. If other people publish his video, they're literally stealing his money. Did you not know that?

[@rtesimpson]

Sportflying they are also spreading his name making him more famous so he can make more money in the future

[@DisturbedShifty]

Rob Simpson No, they are not. If it is someone's first time viewing his videos on THEIR channel they will go back to THEIR channel in order to watch the videos instead of Jimmy's. You must not be a creative person because if you were you would know what they are doing is wrong.

[@sithinstructor7303]

Great to finally see the lathe you talk about in the Podcast!

[@Turb0tron]

Always great stuff! Your humor, especially in the random chicken/cat sequences... amazing!

[@kortt]

Really liking the vlogs Jimmy. They are a nice addition to the build videos.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

Those taggers were older than I expected.

[@BarnibusMaximusMusic]

I really like the vlog. It's just as creative as the builds so I'm just as happy to watch them.

[@handmadeisbetter]

10a.m. in Germany. Perfect timing!

[@malibuu6969]

I love how humble is Diresta! Or at least he seems to be!

[@skillstacking]

Jimmy!!! Keep it up! Love your stuff! I passed that spot in Brooklyn so many times!!! And never so the people working on the wall. Super happy you where able to share that with us. Thanks jimmy, keep it up.

[@jimmydiresta]

+Anthony Diaz love and respect brother

[@WadeWilson_]

jimmydiresta where do I mail stuff if I want to send it to you?

[@Makebuildmodify]

Awesome update Jimmy! I wish I could be in Boston. Maybe next time.

[@markvankoersveld5881]

Dig that you guys take the time to vlog and keep us updated on the low down even if there isn't a project video for the week. Have a great weekend all.

[@elmodelfoker3085]

Thank you for the idea, I removed all the old pipes in my house and replaced them with PVC of greater diameter and solved the whole problem for the next 500 years.

[@Hampdood84]

No need to apologize or explain the weeklies. You have A+ content.. I'm a HUGE fan! Keep em coming!

[@dapartlab]

every new vlog video I have the same urge to comment on how great these vlog videos are! keep em coming jimmy!!

[@tunelvission]

I love connecting with other creative, thats DOPE you met some other artist as happy to connect and work with you as you are with them!

[@handmadeisbetter]

I don't know where the problem is. Your videos are worth waiting for it, no matter how long it takes.

[@ramilondon313]

thank you for making these VLOGS, they really make my weekend enjoyable

[@TheJoyofPrecision]

Great to see what you're up to! That lathe looks awesome, if you hadn't come across it there's a good chance it would end up being scrapped, and that would be a real shame. Keep up the inspirational work!

[@jpwoodwork]

GREAT update Jimmy and HUGE congrats on Making it 100 :)

[@kraay89]

You don't have to explain yourself about your upload frequency! Take your time, Quality over Quantity! Great work as always, love the little insights!

[@keithcronk7980]

AMEN!!!!!

[@oldmanpatterson79]

I am so freaking excited you are getting that lathe! Now I need to finish my old 8' Sebastian before you show me up lol.

[@TheMadKid91]

that's good idea with vlogs to fill up the gaps between build videos !!! don't stop !!!

[@TrustinTimber]

agreed

[@elevatemginc]

You're fantastic! I'm glad you have content ID now. Your content is totally worth it to protect. Watching your videos is a zen-like experience! Keep up the great work. From: La Crosse, WI

[@chuckhart8970]

Keep puttin' out these Vlogs man they are golden

[@ow4402]

Love your channel!! hopefully you stay posting for years to come.

[@jomorris1022]

That scoopy tool that you were showing us is actually called a chair makers scorp. Its for hollowing out the seat of a chair so that it fits your backside more comfortably.

[@BryanLaw]

Thumbs up on the vlog idea. Always looking forward to your next video.

[@MrSpanky473]

Your videos are addicting, and inspiring. Inspired me to build a tool today to help with my every day job. Keep them coming.

[@ChrisWoodBandit]

I love that Day of the Dead image with your logo. Very nice!!!

[@MrRay3801]

I really enjoy the vlog style videos....I mean the build videos are nice but these I find more enjoyable. Thanks man....keep up the great work

[@DimebagDarylDunne]

That piano playing was awesome!!! Have the time stuck in my head since hearing it! Pretty bummed that I can't make it to Boston but maybe I'll be at MakingIt200 😜

[@MrMatte0000]

How am I always catching your videos so early, we must be on the same sleep schedule lol

[@TomZelickman]

Hope you had a fantastic time in Boston! Watched the photos coming from Instagram and it looked like a lot of fun. Really like the mix of projects and the VLOG, to be honest. I might use that method myself. Getting to a point where I'm so busy that it's hard to get video posted to my channel as well. Makes me appreciate guys like you, Bob, and David even more because I know how difficult it can be to get work done and get a video produced as well. Best wishes, Tom Z

[@djAnakin]

Glad you got the messages about the fake sites. I like these types of videos.. Shows more than just the production stuff. Very cool.

[@mattfunmore]

These vlogs are great. I look forward to them!

[@hillbillynick2000]

As always, dig your stuff! Two things, the "scoop-y draw knife" is a scorp. Used to hollow chair seats or anything else. Secondly I have that lathe's little brother! 7 foot bed on mine. Still need to finish the restoration on mine but yo! what a find! Carry on Brother!

[@I3urnHard]

That lathe is awesome! In intro of an off road channel there is a big vertical lathe, man those two could be rust twins :D

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

4:05 Does anyone else find it a little incongruous that those monster, workin' man's hands are making such cool music on a piano? Those hands look like they would be more at home crushing rocks than tickling ivory. Very cool! Thumbed up!

[@murphsworkshop4214]

Hey Jimmy really enjoyed the vlog! Seeing the wall artists in action was great! Thumbs up!

[@755Fight]

Really enjoy your channel Jimmy. The Vlog is a nice quick update for what you're doing. Don't feel bad not getting other vids out, it's still fun to see what you're up to. Our cat does the same thing but she won't let us anywhere near her when she's got one!

[@dozerjohn]

These vlogs remind me of times when we all wondered what Jimmy's face looks like way back when haha. Times change so fast.

[@kampa3k3k3k]

The piano music was so good :D!

[@jason-ge5nr]

awesome break on the plumbing. Wisdom for installing a cleanout. Cats eat mice, or mice eat wiring and burn your house down.

[@Ihavebeenwatchingyou]

I am a plumbing soothsayer, in Jimmy's future I see a vision of him digging up and replacing clay pipes.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Love these vlogs man, great stuff! I'm excited to see the lathe project.

[@judahteigen766]

As a plumber I have to say that is some of the shadiest plumbing I have seen. I love what you do Jimmy and I'm not trying to put you down in any way. It does however, look like something my dad would do.

[@MrJbuff]

Great vid . Head to Australia some day . Love the build stuff

[@Aristocob]

Dang it Jimmy, you've actually made me a vlog viewer. Interesting and diverse episode. That scoopy drawknife is a "scorp", which is used for things like scooping out wooden seats. Good job Tickle Me Elmo! Scott

[@Aristocob]

Self proclaimed tool nerd, BTW.

[@CageyJ0nnY]

The effort that dude went to making 100 ice picks!! what a legend

[@pseudosam2458]

Glad to know you're working on the copyright issue, I first noticed it several months ago and it's been getting worse daily.

[@tapsaaa1]

Hello jim.thankws for all ya'll raw videoes! i'm as satisfied as i can.Thank you. From Finland, Cheers Tapsa

[@YegorGudkov]

Awesome man! Really enjoy watching your videos! they are so inspiring. Always curios, who are those people who put dislikes...

[@cj0204]

lol! I had to do the same exact thing to a friends house out in the country. he didn't have alot of money for an actual sewer replacement so I did exactly what you did. 5 years later and I still haven't heard any problems from him.

[@user-neo71665]

"you gonna need a bigger barn" Truer words have never been spoken, I don't care if your barn is a tool shed or an airplane hanger.

[@azimpetra]

A hangar would totally be awesome. Imagine sticking Jimmy and Adam Savage in one.

[@user-neo71665]

Would be fun for about a week and then you wouldn't have room to turn around. With 2 of them it might only be 3 days

[@bethraehill2393]

you're working hard on this, I love your video's and am going for graphicstock!

[@PaskMakes]

Great video as always. What an awesome thing Michael Schuller did, good on him! Loved the skull too!

[@wolfpoker]

Props to your cousin on the piano, with huge fingers playing like a boss

[@tigordie2916]

Another great vlog! Love these keep up the great work!!

[@hothardrodz]

Hats off to your creativity and talent Jimmy. You never seize to amaze everyone and are a great inspiration to all - Russell, India

[@alekseyvoloshin8256]

Some old slicks were made with a laminated edge, so if you cut off that broken tip you might be throwing away the actual cutting edge.

[@jimmydiresta]

Aleksey Voloshin good point. Noted.

[@greypoet2]

The content you put out is always interesting and informative. Thank you.

[@Honopolist]

Awesome! Thanks for the great vlog!

[@simmonsbilt6893]

I noticed those other channels trying to rip you off man. What a load of crap that is. I'm glad you have the tools available to fight it. You work hard for what you have jimmy. Keep it up man.

[@chicagovasko]

Teddy's great on the piano. You should have music like that on all your videos Jimmy.

[@crbjcv]

Jimmy glad to hear that you are finding those fake channels! I have seen them popping up recently. You have amazing content and it is terrible to loose any views to these people. Keep up the great work! Love the blogs and especially the style you do.

[@quadrider96064]

"The water comin'?" the most NY thing I've heard Jimmy say!

[@MakeItMazzeo]

that graffiti scene was amazing I felt like I was watching goodfellas or something haha!

[@cyprussphil2299]

that lathe is awsome, a real beast, the older machines r sooooo better built its untrue, we have n old 1940s Herbert 4 head pillar drill in work, n it's the most reliable drill in out shop, by FAR! made to last, n last they D ;-) n cheers for the videos u do get to post, cos they r awsome n make a welder fabricator wanna diversify into all materials, took me 2 years to build a workshop, doing it at night n weekends, but it's now done, I have basic machinery in there, but I'm loving working with wood, so relaxing compared to metalwork that I do as my job, n your videos r massive inspiration for me to git gud ;-) so many thanks Jim, top man

[@Hubbmade]

Love the videos! Sorry about that difficult week… you can DO IT!

[@randomsmd16]

That's some sick piano!

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Some great artwork on that wall, really nice

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

When are you going to be turning trees into columns? What's happening with the big lathe? Great vids 👍🏼

[@torobian1311]

There jimmy goes again, putting his name on everything

[@eddiewelka]

Please keep up the GREAT work. It is because of you that I have turned my garage in to a workshop. If you ever head down to Houston Texas I have a place for you to stay. You need to make it to mini makerfair next year!!!!

[@robdean54]

Love the Vlogs Jimmy! keep on keeping on!

[@cortchops]

love it Jimmy! Keep 'em coming

[@bc65925]

My septic tank guy told me to check the end of the pipe there at the tank first. He said that is the place where the roots like to gather. And he's been right a couple of times. Very good possibility that where that chisel broke is where the original tool steel was forge welded on.
