13 sheets of ply wood into 48 Shop Drawers

[@BMLEATHER]

This leather workshop is going to be breath taking! Beautiful work as always.

[@CorbyQ]

Not only functional but that thing is freaking gorgeous

[@dnngskn62]

To say this man is an artisan is the biggest understatement of this century.

[@jimmydiresta]

🙏🏼 thank you!

[@SpicyTexan64]

Artisan how? He programmed a machine and turned on a switch.

[@jimmydiresta]

@@SpicyTexan64do you have any idea how difficult this is ?

[@frikkied2638]

Calm down 😂

[@PearlJam2k6]

The most pleasing aspect is how simple it is, it does its job but its sharp and clean enough to fit every where visually. Love seeing you work, sir. Its relaxing as hell but i also feel like im always learning something.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Compliments to David! It is cool to hear you praising him and his crew. ( You'll need to keep dreaming up future projects to get them to come back every so often )

[@shakuhachi_cover_007]

He is the creator I respect the most, who makes very useful furniture beautifully and skillfully.😊

[@jonathanking4107]

If it has the approval of the building inspector then it's fine by me. I love these videos, informative and easy to watch. Thank you.

[@towboatjeff]

Probably the nicest piece of shop furniture I've seen built on KZbin or anywhere

[@warrenwerks]

One of my favorite videos of yours is when you made a similar chest back in the city shop. This was a total pleasure to watch as well. Loved the different approaches from different times. So cool to see how far you’ve come inspiring so many of us along the way

[@jacoblantrip6846]

Really glad for this video. With so many guys making less and less videos, I understand that this type of video is soon to be a thing of the past. Thanks Jimmy for so much content over the years. When I discovered KZbin years ago, you were one of the first guys that popped up. So glad you decided to share your talent with us all these years. Great job once again, man.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤

[@chicagovasko]

​@@jimmydiresta❤your awesome brother.

[@SeorkMaxx]

Awesome build, exactly my style of furniture, I have a 100 year old one. Over 11 feet long, 9 drawers by 3 drawers high, I store so much stuff in it. Impossible to handle, it had to go in to my house through the window. Looking very good, love the design!

[@goptools]

It really looks beautiful, Jimmy. You can never have too much storage space! Good to have David and crew around for the heavy lifting. I didn't realize that you were going to use it to keep people from falling down the stairwell. That's a great idea!

[@jphanks]

Agreed. And the location is perfect.

[@nicholasskridla2475]

Bring back the Netflix show. Making Fun. Was so much fun watching with my son. Lovd it!

[@jeremyspecce]

If someone is willing to pay for the production then they’ve all expressed interest in it.

[@TerminusVox]

Definitely picked the right day to move this huge cabinet when there was a large work crew on-site! I'm glad they were there to help you.

[@forestbirdoriginals4917]

You’ve changed….. for the better. Keep up the AMAZING work Jimmy. I’m always impressed with your “go with the flow”-edness

[@jprz3837]

Perfect video drop to keep me going as I’m working in the shop all night tonight. Thank you sir.

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

"Many hands make light work"...I love it!

[@raynoladominguez4730]

I absolutely love this project; the pragmatics of your artistry leaves me awestruck.

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

Many hands indeed. Love that David and Pat and the crew are always willing to help you out.

[@jimmydiresta]

Trevor!! respect ✊🏼

[@jlm08742]

Got my first Grex 23ga 2" nailer, festool track saw and ct33 dust extractor, and Fein multi master in 2005. Serious game changer as a finish carpentry!! Love your videos you're so talented!!!

[@jlm08742]

That's a domino sir😂

[@Erik-sj1gr]

So enjoyable to watch you create, everything you do has a story. Thanks for bringing us along 😊

[@Animusche]

That sanding with a board and weight on it is truly amazing! 😂

[@paulkinzer7661]

Ha! Just this morning, I planned a new shelf unit for my shop in my head, but it's nothing like this beautiful! I don't have the tools, nor the skills, to do this kind of work, so thanks for taking me along on the journey.

[@fredsmith6725]

Yes definitely right, my Makita Track Saw was also a game changer. You get cleaner cuts when your not wrestling an 8x4 through a machine. Moving a light controlled saw is so much better and cleaner. Great video and nice furniture.

[@branchandfoundry560]

For sure! I built mine into a 5x9ft assembly table with stop blocks for repeatable batch work. It's a dream for sheet goods and cross cuts!

[@davebauerart]

Great solution for storage! This is the perfect project for the CNC. The new barn workshop is looking amazing!

[@garenne0169]

I love this kind of vidéo like the good Old days. Thanks

[@chicagovasko]

Yeah I remember the basement shop in NY.

[@greglamphier4430]

Came here to say this.. it’s therapeutic

[@nicholasskridla2475]

Absolutely beautiful cabinet, and shop. Bet the room smells amazing from all the wood.

[@karmenolsen7686]

My brother Jimmy! This project sang the song of my people!

[@hansangb]

You make everything look so easy. Mark of a true (experienced) expert.

[@CliffLambson]

Beautiful work. I appreciate your efforts in filming, editing, narrating, and sharing. Thank you again.

[@vinceianni4026]

Good job mister Jimmy beautifully done

[@TotalBoat]

What a stunning build, Jimmy! We can't wait to see this shop done!

[@joelkton1]

Jimmy, that was totally awesome! A bit of a nod to Spike there at the end. 10/10.

[@Meister1551]

What a beautiful cabinet. Your work is exceptional and so is your video work.

[@MrCaprinut]

That look fantastic! Your whole barn as well. Love your final inspector 🙂

[@Batti2323]

I absolutely love how this came out, and how it looks in place! Beautiful build, Jimmy!

[@naturaIIydifferent]

Very cool drawers. The tab and slot/box joints are super clever for quickish construction. It sure frickin beats dovetailing all those suckers.

[@noneater]

This reminds me of the Diresta Tool Drawer video you made 8 years ago, which is one of my all time favorite videos of yours! Great work as always, please don't ever stop making this style of video!

[@tomim7187]

That turned out beautifully. Love the contrast of the different woods. Great job, as usual, Jim!

[@GeekBuildersNet]

Love seeing your process for building. It came out great!

[@sapelesteve]

What a beautiful and functional piece that is Jimmy! First class as usual! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@saginawdan]

It's beautiful, Jimmy! ❤

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Very nice. Love the white oak top.

[@jpalarchio]

Really enjoyed seeing this come along on Patreon. The final product came out amazing!

[@chicagovasko]

🎉I get a Diresta video on my birthday life is good. 46.

[@gene_takavic57]

Beautiful set of drawers! You da' man, Jimmy.

[@bigskymaker]

Beautiful build jimmy! Simple and super functional….great idea to use as a hand rail. 👍

[@MakeEverything]

That came out beautiful! Nice hand at the end too

[@jimmydiresta]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@johngalanes5264]

When you said paint, my heart stopped:)

[@OriginalRaveParty]

You make incredibly useful and beautiful pieces of furniture. That was great 😃

[@johncoliflower]

That’s beautiful. Those pulls are dope! They look like the ones you would see in a library! Love it and love watching your videos!

[@jimmydiresta]

Amazon !!

[@mandyleeson1]

An artist at work. Brilliant.

[@danthemakerman]

That really is a great looking piece!!!

[@MCsCreations]

Stunning piece, Jimmy! Fantastic work!!! 😃 If you ever have any issues with the drawers, just use a candle and a heat gun. Wax them all over. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@davidjondoh8671]

So beautiful! The whole loft is just so comfortable looking! Very nice work.

[@rickjarrell5303]

Great video! Love the build, a big fan of white oak. Looks awesome.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Another beautiful, functional project!

[@scalewarmachines]

That's very cool Jimmy, a beautiful practical piece.

[@merlinsatrom6678]

What an amazing project! Masterful use of CNC uniformity! Love the barn Jimmy!

[@davestinyworkshop]

stunning cabinet, love it. Well done!

[@jamescole1786]

9/22/24..yur 48 drawer cabinet👍✅️ I have said many times you have the best step-by-step video presentations by your use of voice over & FF (high speed) camera setting..oh yes..your studio lighting & very well equipped shop/tools/C-n-C (bunch of super tools, band saws etc) ..all housed in beautiful post-n-beam wood framing! Always a pleasure to watch & learn from your channel! Stay safe & carry on! Oh, love yur creative ForkLift gizmo on yur BackHoe Bucket!💪👍🍺👨‍🔧

[@garthbutton699]

A piece of furniture, though I would expect nothing less,wow!🤗😎🤗😎

[@petersmith7003]

Love all your videos especially the joinery ones 👏👏👏👏can’t believe you haven’t got a surface sander I thought you had everything 😊

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. Fantastic looking cabinet. Incredible you built it so fast. Mahalo for sharing. : )

[@B-leafer]

"If you haven't used a scraper, get into it. It will change your life.".... "It's a beautiful thing.." Great job!

[@VAXHeadroom]

But then he surfaced the oak with a sander... *sigh* edge cut surfaces look SO much better than sanded...

[@sgsax]

Looks right at home in the loft space.

[@FelkniaMusic]

Incredible work, the result is amazing.

[@PaulMeyette]

Been following on your Patreon, the final work is amazing. Can't wait to see it in person.

[@stevefry2972]

What an amazing project.

[@oscardelgadotolosa3819]

Me gusta el contraste de maderas, es muy elegante. Grande como siempre sr Diresta.

[@glass1258]

Amazing work as usual jimmy. That workspace looks great enough to live in haha 😊

[@chrisconley3579]

I remember visiting you maybe 10-12 years ago in your basement dungeon. So cool to see wood from that shop make it all the way to here. Working on a welding table in a massive barn shop. Awesome little build, makes me want to get a bigger cnc table .

[@jimmydiresta]

❤thank you!

[@MrPhotodoc]

The cat at the end inspecting the work was a great way to end the video.

[@hawkinscsa]

Beautiful my friend!

[@dansullivan2954]

A+ brother! Well done.

[@joeduffy9764]

Beautiful piece and wonderful commentary ❤

[@malcomsue]

Beautiful build Jimmy.

[@matto7050]

Your a man of many talents. You can't beat the beauty of natural wood. After watching most of your videos for the last several years I've notice with all of the beautiful equipment you have, you don't have any dust collection/extractors in your shops other than your lungs?

[@gpanizzolo6090]

Excelente trabajo! Gracias por compartirlo! Que lo disfruten! Un abrazo Germán, Lomas de Solymar, Uruguay

[@robertsmith3518]

Great job ! Looks awesome. Thanks for letting us ride along . Cheers. !!!

[@Shawnbbeckner]

Epic job Jimmy. Looks very professional and the contrast in the wood and hardware is eye catching. Great video great job.

[@shopbottools]

Great to see your full size ShopBot CNC in action again! If you'd like any tips for securing material so you don't have anything move on ya, you know who to call! Really great project. We enjoyed following along. Keep rockin'

[@ricksolari9570]

Awesome job! Love the precise way in which you work.

[@Gumshoe88]

First time seeing this-sir you are a true craftsman! Very impressed by your attention to detail!

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you!

[@davidanalyst671]

that chest is looking really great. I can't wait to see all the other projects you have in store. If you were planning on making a high use chest of drawers, maybe put acrylic fronts on the drawers so you can quick find what you are looking for.

[@jacksonbennett6151]

I have a small metal card catalogue type file cabinet that has label tag windows like these pulls. Instead of card stock or paper I used a scrap of sheet copper and wrote on it with punch points. Looks classy. Funny, one is labeled FILES but it metal files, not the boring paper variety!

[@GaryTruesdale]

Awesome Jimmy D! What a cabinet. All those drawers!!

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow absolutely amazing work it looks amazing great job. And I love how you’ve been getting all this stuff up there with the tractor

[@z06doc86]

What a beautiful cabinet! Wow!

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Jimmy, love the joining idea on the drawers! I think I’ll use that on my next drawer build. What a great idea for small parts.

[@lmkenefick]

Amazing as always!

[@Vikingwerk]

If the vacuum slowing the drawers bothers you, drill a small hole in the back of the drawer to vent it a bit.

[@dougidoug]

It looked like the kind of draws you would see in an office in the 40s. Fantastic, bold and looks great

[@CooleKip1]

That is a magnificent piece, Jimmy.

[@philipB31]

Absolutely gorgeous - nice work (as always)! Thank you for sharing.

[@MichaelNatrin]

Impressive work! Beautiful piece.

[@LCTrabajos]

Beautiful piece of art!

[@Kernowwoods]

The handles were the perfect choice dude. 🤙

[@madebym.e.]

Great build i love the voice over 👍

[@georgestam1710]

Nice and simple job mate. I love working with plywood. Some customers of mine asked something similar but for exterior usage, with stainless steel legs and handles, coated with uv and water resistant 2 component polyurethane clear coat. They thought that price would be IKEA related. Told them 3500€ and they left my workshop immediately, they didn't say even goodbye or something 😂 fools, when you need quality, you should pay for it.
