DiResta OLD Safe Door Restoration & Install

My DiResta GIANT Razors… Now LIVE HERE: imakeny.com/pr...
Enter My Giveaway: vy.lc/423449tqwrh
In my latest project video I restore and install an old safe door that I salvaged from a Mongers Market In Bridgeport Conn. in April of this year. I got this old safe door for only $400! I was thinking of the best place to install the restore safe door, and with winter on the way ..my shop has only the large overhead door, so I figured this was a good opportunity to finally install a much needed man door with a cool factor! I hope that you enjoy this restoration project; I think that this old safe door turn out very cool - Enjoy!
Thank You To my sponsors!

Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade

[@Maker-G]

I have enjoyed a ton of recordings of your creations and honestly I feel like I have never seen you smile as hard as you did in this recording. I am glad to see that this one brought you so much joy as all your work continually brings me great inspiration.

[@aserta]

From when manufacturers made things proper, and the caps on the hinges were removable, so you could put oil and maintain the hinges...

[@tracybowling97]

Everyone should have this as their front door. And of course you hand painted the golden stripes. This is the ultimate classy door! Of course now I want one!

[@jeffmoss26]

As a locksmith I absolutely love this’

[@frankbusuttil2572]

I love that you held the hinges to camera waaaay too long as if you say I made these and I’m damn proud of myself. Most over engineered shop door on the planet. Beautiful work Jimmy. Thanks for continuing to inspire.

[@miamitreasurehunter]

This guy never ceases to amaze me.

[@thekiltedblacksmith2948]

I am impressed that sheet metal siding and a little bit of lumber supported the weight of that door.

[@kevinalexander7710]

Sidenote: if you want to break into Jimmy’s shop don’t fuss with that safe door. You can sawzall thru the sheet metal siding in about 4.2 seconds.

[@jimmydiresta]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👊🏼

[@reginalawson8008]

Yes, that is a consideration. But I would be afraid of the horrors of the first step inside, you never know what he's got going on in there!!! Nice work, thanks for sharing!! :)

[@BLKNJ]

OG Diresta! Nice piece Jimmy

[@clementsmallengine4833]

Have you seen the diresta guillotine video before? He has boobie traps all over that shop! Imagine 1000 ice picks flying at mach-1....😉

[@theart9163]

The mind as it wanders....

[@DanVR001]

I'm surprised the sheet metal didn't bend from the weight of the door. Nice job.

[@MonsieurNab]

smae, I almost expected a 2x4 or two under the bottom wooden part as support. guess the sheet metal is pulling its weight :)

[@allenwilson9656]

Jimmy with those freehand pin stripe skills you could be a coach liner for roles royce 👍 you did a great job with the direstaration

[@calholli]

You just hold your pinky finger along the edge and stay steady.. If you were to look at it closely, you could tell that he still has a lot of flaws... but That's what I like about it the most--- just whip it up and go with it; there's no need for it to be perfect.

[@rhysmeyrick615]

No one else would have all the separate fields of knowledge and hands on to pull that off. An act of sheer will.picking the lock not to destroy and plunder it but to revive it to live again.

[@the_cheese]

The smile on Jim's face when he opened the door on camera!! This was a fantastic piece of work, thanks for sharing it!

[@georgel5308]

You have so much free hand lathing skill. You can turn junk into art. Really amazing. Great work.

[@NealPenderSellingNearCharlotte]

Jimmy Skill #547: Manual Pinstriping. The well never runs dry with this guy. Well done Sir!

[@liammiller3395]

I think this must be the happiest I have seen you with the outcome of a project Great build jimmy🤜

[@adamkittrell1511]

Man I thought the same. He just looks proud of himself with this one.

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️

[@B-leafer]

I think a significant portion of your genius, is finding such cool stuff!

[@djhoon90]

Your drill bit wielding gives me comfort. Sometimes you just need to get a little job done!

[@Drowronin]

Art deco. A man of taste and culture.

[@wildwilly519]

Love it. Using it as a regular entrance is comical and practical.

[@PaigeMaker]

I’ve got a project coming up where I plan to make my own hinges, and it never would have occurred to me if not for watching your videos. 🤘

[@Vault57]

I have seen a number of similar vault doors hit the dumpsters on demolition jobs. Nobody but me wanted them...and I had no way to move them or place to store them. I also saw a number of large safes (5'-6' tall x 3'-4' wide) meet the same fate. They would have made great conversions into gun safes or just home safes. Space not being an issue. Glad you saved that one.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Those acorn caps for the hinges are such a cool detail. The ones you remade looked spot on.

[@th.l.7768]

Jimmy, you're the only guy who can mount a safe door on a tin can without looking ridiculous. Thanks a lot for this post-apocalyptic "Leonardo DiVinciResta" video ^^)

[@joesobaski1966]

Not sure I’ve seen you more proud of a project. Nicely done.

[@USA5.56X45]

This is the type of DIRESTA that I've been craving

[@nordyfamily]

Again, you are the Dalai Lama of DIY. Nicely done. Keep up the great work.

[@bcbloc02]

Jimmy Listening and feeling those clicks is for sure a test of patience!

[@101-йкилометр]

Супер! Золотые руки! Смотрю каждый ваш ролик, каждый раз чтобы вы не делали, просто шедевр!

[@ianvolker2751]

If you put some spray adhesive on the back of your stencil, you will get a really clean spray painted stencil with next to no overspray.

[@TheSmithomatic]

This was like a diresta classic and a diresta something new all in one I love it 💪

[@jmadara]

I love how you did the gold lines.

[@digdugdat2847]

Diresta: "This a complicated lock" LockPickingLawyer: "Hold my beer"

[@mr.dcaniget1subfromyouplea25]

Now that made me chuckle! Thank you, i needed that.

[@colinbutt143]

In just the time it took to reach for his beer, it would have been cracked and disassembled to show you how

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here. You R Quite a talented Young man. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@jimmydiresta]

👊🏼👊🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous! Like a door way into another dimension where everything & everyone is good, happy & creative.Thanks for sharing!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Holy cow. What a great film. Feels like you worked on this one straight through...no eat, no sleep. Best door in the world. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@pimuir]

Fanfingtastic Jimmy! Best part was your look into the camera after you opened the door after dialing in the combination. Thank you!!

[@nvz357]

Jimmy you are truly an amazing guy…I just love the irreverence you have for your tools on their way to creating another Diresta masterpiece…..👍🏼

[@reforzar]

The details make this pop off, mainly that beautiful paint job. Nice work JD!

[@TomMakeHere]

It looks great. The pin striping was a good touch

[@oges74]

No matter what you are making, it's great watching your process of getting the project done

[@loufaiella3354]

Brilliant job....as always!! I think a final touch would be to connect another 2 pieces of wood on each side (a few feet is all that is needed) to the ground from the existing screw studs to get that weight off the sheet metal building.

[@Dfrantz87]

Love it man. That felt like a good old fashioned Diresta build. Thanks for staying true to your roots Brother.

[@DigitalSwagg]

Thinking outside the box live and direct! Great job Jimmy

[@oldgreyman5994]

Best man door I think I've ever seen.

[@MOONRAK3R23]

Now that’s an Awesome Entry Door!!!

[@aaroncashion7570]

Line work was amazing. Great job jimmy.

[@davidcornwell9045]

I have always wanted one of this. Maybe to a gun room or a vault in the basement.

[@yellowmuginc]

A locking door to replace the locking door! 😉 Spiffy! What a treasure from a cool place to pick for treasure, great job restoring it for a new application.

[@safe1968man]

I'm a locksmith. And for me that was very cool.

[@Benzoff]

I’ve never fast forwarded a Diresta video. Love this guy.

[@dcallan812]

Building a safe room to keep all your best tool in? Great looking bit of art and utility. 2x👍

[@WorldRestoration]

I really admire you for doing a great job

[@charlysoy100]

Jimmy brillante idea, te felicito por tu inagotable creatividad, y tu dominio de todas las técnicas.

[@danthemakerman]

The juxtaposition of a solid steel safe door installed in to a corrugated metal wall is just too damn good! Well done Jimmy!

[@dwwoodbuilds]

Now EVERYONE will want a safe door for their shop! Fun build Jimmy, really liked the free-hand milling on the lathe!

[@TomMakeHere]

I've considered one in the past, but can confirm: the want is much stronger now 😂

[@chadseals2671]

Those door hinge pins are the bees knees!!!😍

[@sanankynaston9925]

I like the gold trim you put around the edges of the door. Very nice!

[@elainezzz]

lovely way to start off the old saturday thank you jimmy

[@billdiehl156]

So cool to watch an artist and maker at work!

[@PJGalati]

I think you look the happiest making this video I have seen you in a while! So many smiling moments!!! Great work of course, love the brass handle and lock, your pin-striping was excellent! I've done it on small things and it's nerve wracking!

[@MakeEverything]

Same combination as my luggage….

[@gabrielgarciawoowworks]

It’s 1,2,3,4,5.

[@gabrielgarciawoowworks]

Spaceballs

[@BigLousWorkshop]

But it only opens unlisted walls!!! 😜🤣😎

[@jackleg693]

As a hobby lock and safe engineer this pleases me very much. Superb upcycling!

[@chrisaudi1593]

nice job jimmy ... man I wish I can have all your imagination to think about all the stuff you making with your hand keep up the good work

[@toomanyhobbies8518]

Probably one of my favor buildS. Really enjoyed the video. I kept thinking what is he going to do with this thing.

[@VVershCSIV]

You will never know or see how many things you've inspired me to make. But its alot of ish, thank you JD.

[@jimmydiresta]

✊🏻👊🏼👊🏼

[@ytwdh]

You had me guessing until the end. "Where the hell is this door going?" Awesome job, Jimmy.

[@williampeppers812]

I was hoping it would have been installed in a fortified bunker.....but I'm sure the shop was already Ft. Knox. Great work sir.

[@jojorengers5368]

How brilliant is this!!!!! A old style Diresta video 👌🏻 making something beautiful from old iron !

[@garthbutton699]

So only those that know the combination are allowed access....pretty smart 🤗😎🤗😎

[@cardinalpoints2839]

How psyched are you that you have a shop with a fork lift!! Great work by the way.

[@markmywords5126]

I almost cried when that green was painted over

[@ATG19534]

Dragging that round bar across the yard sounded exactly like a school bell.

[@johnjagielski5903]

Wow, just wow!! Nice one Jimmy Deresta!!

[@BerudPL]

love the ending where we can see Joy on Jimmy face :D

[@marcuscicero9587]

so jealous of guys that metal fabrication capability

[@StamosTee]

That's why I tell everyone I talk about you, that you are both a great artist and a great maker. 🤜🤛

[@jimmydiresta]

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@chrismatus4469]

Nice Jimmy! I like the way it complements the little safe door on the other side of the entrance.

[@oliverbrunt1]

Just awesome, that line work is just brilliant! Love some of the new camera angles too!

[@Nocewoodshop]

Absolutely beautiful door. But bravo on that bright light welding video transition Jim! So cool.

[@TheMechanic626]

I am surprised that the sheet metal would hold the weight. Great work yet again Jimmy.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That door looks outstanding. Great job on it Sir

[@youssefberady]

No matter how difficult is the job, it looks easy when you do it.

[@billunderwood5453]

You need to do a crossover with Lock Picking Lawyer! Great door, btw.

[@larrykelly2838]

Now that's a cool door. I see one like this that is still up in a building demolition.

[@mking3219]

What a cool way to secure a shop! No contest will ever replace content Jimmy.....always in baby voice!

[@chicagovasko]

16:55 Tadaaa Jimmy smiles. Love it.

[@MechatronCNC-HVM]

Craftsmanship at its finest 👌 the end result looks amazing 😎👍

[@tyrionlannister9530]

Очень хорошая работа. Дверь шикарная! Но ставить ее в стенку из металлопрофиля толщиной 0,7 мм - это просто жесть :)))

[@kev41500]

Surprised you didn't go for a bronze bearing between the hinge barrels, but an awesome job none the less. Looks great!

[@shinigamikuroshitsuji336]

You saw the door and you said why not it's a heavy duty door so i can fix it and re-use it Nice door ☺☺☺☺

[@Madein515]

Awesome find and application!!

[@ionut5316]

I usually place a hinge in the middle and I weld it upside down, so nobody can steal my doors/gates. I also live in Romania. Cheers :).

[@cesarlg7192]

ideal to put it in a bathroom, one in a hurry to enter and has to put the combination to enter. excellent work as always

[@OliDeLarge]

Der 'Rude Boy' hinterlässt ein Like und ein wohlwollendes Kommentar zur Förderung des Kanals! 👍 Respekt und Danke für die Arbeit und das Video! 😎🤙 The 'Rude Boy' leaves a like and a benevolent comment to support the channel! 👍 Respect and thanks for the work and the video! 😎🤙 rude greetings 😜 Oli
