DiResta I Just can’t Throw it Away !

In this woodworking project video, I create a bar and two tables from old vintage doors that I had in storage. These doors were once used in my 200 year old farm house. I also use some of the original material left over from the restoration of the porch in the front of my house. Bulleit asked me to create furniture for an activation using all recycled materials. We also visit the local junk yard for some sheet metal!
Thank you!

The author does like to kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

I want to be Jimmy Diresta when I grow up, which would be a fine goal if I wasn't older than he is. I can't decide if watching him work inspires me or discourages me. It's not just the skill but the creativity that seems unattainable.

Experience + Passion = Creativite Masters. Experience w/o passion = Skilled Masters.

[@davebauerart]

Go for it! The only way to get there is it get started. Pay attention and get inspiration from the world around you.

[@mm9773]

Doesn’t matter. I once replaced the glass top of an IKEA sidetable with a piece of oak, and even though I didn’t create much, it was successful and satisfying. Just go and build something, chances are it’ll be worth it.

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

I agree with the other commenters here. I find that experience builds more skill, which in turn builds more satisfaction, which in turn drives more projects, which in turn drives more experience....and so on.

[@deannam1981]

i hear ya! i'm younger than he is. I'm not as creative as he is! i can cut two boards. they're both 5ft. put them on their ends to compare them, one will always be 1/16in off. Jimmy looks like he's throwing things together and it all fits!

[@andrewsargent3183]

Love that he reuses stuff instead of getting new everytime

[@sjv6598]

I foresee many many spilled drinks in the life of that bar and tables with uneven tops 🙂

[@BCM16AR]

Yep

[@tomim7187]

This really appeals to my love of recycling old material back into something useful and nice looking. This is definitely one of my favorites! Nice Job, Jimmy.

[@woogaloo]

I love your aesthetic and just how simple you make things look. I was waiting for you to spray paint your name on it. Never disappoints!

[@schmails]

You make me spill my drink on those door tables and I'm gonna be PISSED. :-) j/k Awesome, Jimmy! and I love me some Bulleit...

[@mattorendorff8858]

Good one. Like the visit to junkyard metal hunting.

[@lgerback34]

Love it Jimmy. Anytime we can recycle old stuff and not waste materials I’m for it. I teach high school shop class and am forever encouraging my students to ‘upcycle’ or reuse old materials.

[@LonghornWorkshop]

As always everything you want to see in a build. Love the rustic look..❤

[@woodshop7487]

Absolute classic Diresta... Jimmy your a legend. Thank you brother.

[@djjmsimon]

I'd love to be near that junk yard.

[@710ranch2]

Well done Jimmy - Well done. Been watching you since you were on PBS.

[@jimmydiresta]

Great bourbon. Great bar. Great inspiration (as usual). Thanks, Jimmy!

[@mrmudslide5676]

Excellent! The patina/finish from the old decking is perfect for that!

[@sgsax]

That's some rustic recycling. Cool vibe. Thanks for sharing!

[@tomasjosefvela1]

You NEVER disappoint on thee Bullet builds!! Thanks for sharing, watching this is an inspiring way to start my day.

[@tombrenes2411]

Love the projects The time taken to plan everything Awesome content

[@ScrewsAndTools]

I love very much. your classic style of handmade with wood! Just wonderful!

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I picked up so many tips here for my projects, probably 10 or more. Best one was gluing the letters to the rail instead of welding. Looking up that Total Boat adhesive now. Thanks Diresta.

[@josejulianrealgiraldo3185]

[@IlCacciatore66]

inizia lo spettacolo, birretta pronta e si va... thanks Jimmy

[@markdmaker3173]

Cool build, I’ve used a plasma cutter several times, I love that tool.

[@alonsoquesada1136]

Jimmy is such a master at taking something old and make it look .....uhm........older-ish? Awesome work 🤩

[@viorsa8200]

Excelente tutorial maestro, reciclar puertas antiguas está genial, un gran proyecto, gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 👌🤓😜

[@Mandinga_Pro]

An incredible job. I've been following you for a long time. Greetings from Chile

[@Nirinium]

That's awesome Jimmy the distillery is right down the road from my house :)

[@CrimHawk]

Every new project makes me wish I didn't quit making things when I got older.

[@alexandert7643]

Nice welding table!

[@vampyrew0lf]

Awesome way to repurpose materials, make art and make a buck! Looks like a fun project!

[@kaiaz4694]

Looks so easy when you do it

[@andrewoperacz7427]

What a great build!! Love the old wood and door tops. I’m guessing from your house. Which makes it even better.

[@strokerace5468]

Well done. A Plus

[@shopcatt643]

Great video dude

[@thetalkingfly]

Jimmy you rule bro!

[@dogsoupblues]

Hey, a new idea for the 16 1890s doors I somehow inherited when I bought my house 🤣 Innovative, creative, and inventive as always, Jimmy!!

[@damienbrand9422]

Thank you Jimmy!!

[@randomizer1355]

Great Video!!! btw i love the Netflix show: making fun!

[@NigelMarston]

I love the simplicity of these videos but from doing a little "makering" myself, I know just how much thought and prep that goes into it. And how many tools you end up needing (it's a good day if I make something with the tools I have rather than buying more).

[@williampeppers812]

Very nice

[@Lickmuffin]

Your Bulleit marketing projects are incredibly effective -- I started drinking the stuff here in Canada because of your videos!

[@krzysztof9120]

As usual, ecology is mixed with rustic style. Brilliant simplicity with functionality.

[@user-ku4rw4yd3t]

"Brilliant"???? "Fuctionality?????" Try to put a glass of water on it and then tell me more about it

[@saginawdan]

Thanks, Jimmy! 👍😎👍

[@heyimamaker]

My Dad would be proud, he saves and uses old doors for everything, need a privacy wall? Doors! desk? doors, door? doors!

[@Hinkleshop]

Outstanding Jimmy I thought you might throw some total boat on the tops of the doors to fill the panels I always learn something new watching one of these builds laser to stencil to plasma cutter awesome!

[@polenoable]

5:59 nice hoof block stuff,man😉👍

[@Dennistube001]

i like how he left the door handle on, the cheek of it

[@lastgameplay]

outstanding

[@joshsmith4488]

This is my favorite way to recycle

[@girlsdadx3]

I Wish I was Jimmy Diresta! I wish I had his shop. I wish I had his creativity. I wish I had his collection of old wood. I wish I had all of his tools. I wish I was Jimmy Diresta!

[@bcbloc02]

I bet those carpenters a hundred plus years ago never imagined that those deck boards would be seen by millions all over the world in various projects!!

[@c.a.g.1977]

Very cool look, using all those reclaiimed boards! Nice touch, leaving the door knobs on 😄 Don't know if it might have been a good idea to flood the tops of the tables with clear epoxy, so you'd still see the old doors, but the surface would be even and smooth... I can imagine placing your drink where the panel meels the rail/stile it would cause your glass to tip over? Maybe it was a time/budget decision not to?

[@Sodabowski]

Rocking it hard 👍

[@peeweeherman5590]

The Quality goes in, then the name goes on!

[@MooreDoing]

Jimmy is the guy in the village that makes the village possible. There was a time civilization was almost completely reliant on someone with his capabilities to make whatever is needed.

[@giovannipetitti1588]

Ciao Jimmy 💯💯👍❤️

[@creativerosedesign2953]

Thank you !

[@jonathangrenier104]

old school vide in this video. fun!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Love to see these recycled material projects. (Although I am wondering about the uneven surface caused by the frame and panel construction - or did I miss something? Hopefully you'll cover it in the Patreon vo. Thanks for posting and thumbs up!

[@SST11B]

Nice work man! So, I've got this story about the Bulleit stand in the VIP area at a Chris Stapleton concert in Virginia... The whisky was fantastic as was the show...I think🤣

[@CrownMountainWoodworks]

Will there be a piece of thick glass on top? That way you can still see all of the beautiful work but no spilled drinks. Killing it as usual, Jimmy.

[@TheSmithomatic]

classic diresta

[@meltonmakes1692]

Cuttin nails off boards in your new driveway? Jimmy !!Jimmy!!

[@sandervandijk2373]

Nice

[@epiphgd4302]

Unreal talent there. (Side note: someone’s gonna slice their kneecap open on that metal lettering while they’re at the bar)

[@413DaveRN]

Recycled doors, boards, and some scenes, make for a fun video!

[@johncolgan4687]

The bulkhead from that old IH Scout 2 Terra is getting a decent round 2.
