DiResta Scissor Lift BBQ

My DiResta GIANT Razors… Now LIVE HERE: imakeny.com/pr...
Tools used in this Build: jimmydiresta.c...
In this video I used Lincoln Electric’s latest multi-process welder, the Power MIG 140 MP. It runs off of standard household 120V power and can handle MIG, Stick and Flux Core welding out of the box. With the addition of a foot pedal and torch, it can also do TIG welding on steel, and it weighs in at just under 35 pounds. If you’ve been on the fence about buying a welder because you don’t know how much you’ll use on, this is the welder for you. And it’s only $782! Makes a great father’s day gift!

I was set on building a Argentine BBQ .. as I got into the build I waned to give the typical idea some new life .. I purchased a scissor lift last year and it was the inspiration I needed to get to this idea .. the parts were purchased at the local tractor supply

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

[@srirangdhawale5242]

Jimmy has mastered the art of measuring in the scale of - About ‘that’ much.

[@DataStorm1]

you mean that "jay big" scale?

[@mattpaul6976]

Eyeball Eyeball zap zap zap!

[@morenight4133]

the pubic millimeter, as we call it

[@no-oneshome3083]

As he says, "if it looks straight, it is straight"

[@jessem8928]

Good enough

[@miketabar2327]

Jimmy Diresta at his best. Inventing and building things I didn't know I wanted or needed until I saw it. Thanks Jimmy.

[@miniblasan5717]

I totally agree on that!

[@Rollinjordn]

The only reason I clicked the video😂

[@troyladoux1953]

I am building this based on your design. I initially built the bottom box to make a heat box to boil down to sap to make syrup; worked but needs a smoke stack. Today I am building the top grill part with the raising mechanism the best that I can. This design has inspired me since the first time I saw it.

[@samferguson1091]

You could weld a DIRESTA stencil into the grill have have your own branded steaks haha. Nice work 👍

[@mrclean2005]

I was thinking the same thing when he pulled the steak off the grill. Would have been a great reveal of his logo on the meat.

[@bradnaylor2241]

remember to have it mirrored so when he flips the steak over it isn’t backwards

[@MCLEO983]

I bet that CNC machine could do some detailed work that could be simply tacked on the grill grate

[@jeremyspecce]

@@MCLEO983 Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

[@kirktitgen6395]

Exactly same thought. I came to comment on it, but saw you already did.

[@HandToolRescue]

It's the year 2177. The great windstorms of 2049 have moved most BBQs into the ocean. Only one BBQ remains on land...

[@MrDoeboy356]

Hand Tool Rescue lol

[@jacobpoucher]

ya a rusted up piece of junk.

[@barimayberry]

So funny. I was just a baby in 2049 but my parents always talked about how they had a shortage on Grills. Must of been scary times for cookers

[@jerrieyum]

Hand Tool Rescue’s great great great grandson finds it and prepares for the ultimate restoration!

[@desertlizard4723]

Oh my god Waterworld

[@seeharvester]

You know what I like best about your channel? You write your name on everything. Reminds me of my Dad. Wrote his name on everything. I miss you Dad.

[@ig8ltd]

I love your build.. Being married to an Argentinian/Puerto Rican women. I'm certain she will appreciate this build. we love to Grill. This made it official.. I'm an Grille- Addicted. thank you..

[@rinhd1977]

Im amazed by your work. Just breathtaking

[@kharentedeuh9222]

Somebody : how many welds do you want ? Jimmy DiResta : YES

[@perro_dinamita]

In Argentina the BBQ is called "asado". We prepare asado for any occasion when we be celebrating something and it is a ritual of every sunday with the family or friends. We love the asado!!!

[@inmyopinion6836]

I watched this a couple of years ago , but after watching it again , I think my amazement is justified . Well done brother . Anyone would kill for one of these .

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Well I guess we know what we're having for dinner now 🤤😋 turned out great Jimmy!!

[@jonathansukanto3052]

Hi. Please make your video again.

[@PaulMeyette]

All you gotta do is go "Izzy style" and put a drill instead of the crank! Lol. Super sweet build. Can't wait to get a burger off it.

[@gb9960]

Even as a vegetarian I must admit... well done sir! If I could thumb up multiple times I would. I admire how Jimmy lives his dream and executes his projects pragmatically without loosing himself in details - it is all about the overall industrial esthetics and functionality. Best greetings from Switzerland.

[@pathallock7868]

Now that's a grill!! You never cease to amaze me with your ideas and talents!!! AWESOME!!!🤯👍👍👍

[@pimuir]

At a time when things got really hard (our family camp was hit hard by the recent storms that came through the northeast) and both our newly serviced Weber grills were crushed by fallen trees...your grill make inspired me to press on and make what I want as opposed to let getting hit get me down. Thanks Jimmy.

[@jdbrewer6638]

Nice build! Nice and square too! It was fun watching you prototype as you built it!

[@oscarballesterosguzman5345]

That's the gift every dad would want

[@peterpipe8281]

I’ve been a chef/grill cook for 35 years and that is the grill of my dreams very nicely done

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

Oh, man! There are lots of things to like about this project! :D

[@thomaslevy2119]

An industrial strength grill! No need for wheels. It gets a permanent location in the yard.

[@victorhangaas6719]

because it is so heavy it basicly can't be moved also it has "DIRESTA" on it so i'd back off

[@EMTinVA]

I've been obsessed with these maker videos lately. This is among the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@ConfusedSoul24]

Thanks! I was thinking of a similar design, but I plan to move the fire instead - thus I'll have the working area always at the same height.

[@SEThatered]

I am in awe DiResta just built a lift by pretty much eyeballing the dimensions I would have spent weeks in CAD before even the first cut...

[@driftlessjoinery5059]

Makes me want to buy Lincoln welding equipment and eat a steak. I'd say this build is a success!!!

[@IntegraDIY]

Driftless Joinery me to! Except.. throw some bird on the grill 😁

[@AdamRich1785]

That welder is on sale right now too!

[@nathanjohansen7169]

Uh oh. I bought a steak and ate a Lincoln welder...

[@xyzcreate]

Cook the steak with the welder?!

[@robertreid8740]

You have some mad skills. I loved it when you milled your handle from brass.

[@iraklisseva2123]

It I'd very nice project, perfect execution and a great job a have no word. Congratulations and greetings from Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷👍

[@gvet47]

I like how you kept looking back at the detailed drawings to insure everything went together.🤔 Now the next one must be in stainless steel. 😉😂

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I love the way you incorporated that old large gear into the mechanics of it!! That is an awesome grill! Great work as always!

[@br1pres8]

i used your bbq as an inspiration to build my own parrilla. i made some things a bit different but the pantograph lift mechanism is almost identical and works flawlessly! thank you so much for the inspiration!

[@ma-lakshmifabricator7549]

Overall, this is a highly informative and enjoyable video for anyone interested in engineering. It showcases your talent and expertise while providing valuable insights and inspiration to fellow enthusiasts. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your content in the future 👍👍👍

[@BadgerBishop]

You never cease to amaze me with your builds. Favorite part is how it all flips back to open.

[@smc4lcc]

That looks like it was a lot of work, but man, what a cool build! I wish i had one of these in my backyard. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!

[@codes8223]

By far one of the coolest bbq’s I have seen built. Great craftsmanship.

[@user-vq8oj5lm1t]

Дорогой брат это просто фантастика!!! Механика, дизайн столько решений инженерных!!! Гениально просто восторг!!!😎😉🙂☺😀😄🙄💪👌👏🖒👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

[@vampyrew0lf]

Although a foosball table/grill seems fun and mostly safe at first, the sprockets and chain were a solid idea 😀 Nice build dude!

[@mustafankamil1973]

I like how jimmy always thinks outside the box, he must be brilliant at problem solving ;)

[@Gar99]

Jimmy's put his name on every tool he owns at his workshop Wonder why

[@kenlarge5154]

@@Gar99 1 - tools go missing 2 - good marketing of his "brand"

[@mikedillman3049]

I love cooking with fire wood done it for years unique taste... I admire the innovation you put in this grill

[@rericksen]

JAMES DIRESTA, ladies and gentlemen. NATIONAL TREASURE.

[@carsonito852]

Its jimmy

[@rericksen]

@@carsonito852 yes it is

[@redfish6C]

You are the king of the world. The EINSTEIN Of DIY

[@oojagapivy]

So. Many clever tips. Using nuts as spacers on the lifts, the gear “hubs” ...... Using that old “gear” as the crank handle really adds to the look. Nice work.

[@kenlarge5154]

yeah i really love the almost steam punk look of the braai. could have mixed some metals and added some copper for that authentic steam punk look

[@eos19]

The things one can build as a Metal worker. Top !

[@bruno-wtp]

amazing design!!!

[@AGlimpseInside]

This was a fun one to watch brother. Freaking genius

[@Froudd]

Amazing, and the way you made the handle is just so beautiful to watch. Thank you for this video.

[@PabloCimadevila]

Beautiful design...and steak lol. Congratulations Jimmy!

[@simoneboxler1065]

if a tornado will hit your house just hide under your BBQ! You are a master! Greetings from the italian Alps!

[@m4rkyboy]

Nice design man, the Bad Obsession Motorsports guys just built something similar, not a BBQ, but a lifting platform.

[@DavidPlass]

Their prototype was Lego!

[@AntonioCarlos-sk3xi]

"Para os apreciadores de um bom churrasco, essa churrasqueira é um colírio para os olhos!" Bravo. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@keretasambung_bayar_ksb2u781]

Purest masterpieces... No screws...no brackets..

[@sotirisl.6561]

Only you could think about such a brilliand idea!!👏👏

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 sometimes a man just has to go into the shop and fabricate his own grill because he feels like barbecuing that evening.

[@Shadow-nq8wp]

One suggestion, put a little hex bit on the center of the wheel you you can use an impact driver to move it up and down when you don't feel like cranking

[@heavyweight6855]

Nice work man

[@Neo7CNC]

If it's worth doing... it's worth over doing. Nice manual CNC lathe action too. 😀👍

[@aaroncashion7570]

One of your coolest builds ever! Love everything about it. Great build. Glad you are still making videos 😀

[@theantichrist6524]

Great design ! And adding the firebricks was smart .

[@Jaijay35]

Excellent job Jimmy I like the adjustable height to control the temperature of the fire.

When you want to build a BBQ that can survive apocalypse.

[@vaidutisvirgaitis9391]

Panzer BBQ

[@jacobpoucher]

those screws would rust up in like a week of non use....

[@Random42]

Why do I get the suspicion that the "It's Alive" segment with Brad inspired Jimmy to up his grill game?

[@cereberus99]

Awesome build and I love the idea. The only thing that keeps scratching at my brain is that I feel like the Vs on the grill should be the other way around so that gunk slides off instead of being caught in the groove. The grooves cause strips of uncharred meat on the steaks.

[@user-qd9cq3hw3c]

Делитант видимо в жарке мяса. Джим и прав в ориентации уголка. Жир стекает в бороздку и вытекает в сборник, в следствии чего не воспламеняется и мясо не подгорает над открытым огнём.

[@PhilVandelay]

That freeform turning! Great stuff

[@juicyj813]

My dog! You off the CHAIN man!!! LOL. Good Job!!

We need a 1.5 mil collection video. Just saying. Sweet grill and build. Thanks for sharing.

Hey jimmy, if you decide to start making them will take one;-) be blessed as always! BBh

[@sunnydhanda1723]

Yes me 2 i love the skill involved and wish to start a welding course in the near future

[@MrQreed]

Make it three my friend......Very nice work

[@afriedli]

There are a few people so creative they can write their own rule book as they go along. However, your brilliance at design and fabrication does not transfer to barbecue cooking, where you need to be a master of marinades, brines, basting, braising and related arts. I suggest you invite Abom over :-)

[@johnnyhernandez4537]

with all that equipment and tools anyone can be creative

[@muhinghang9281]

i would absolutely buy this grill. by far the best and exactly what i always had in mind to adjust the temperature.

[@pettofficial.]

Excellent build as always, love seeing your creations come to life, but just one question - why did you decide to mount the bars on the rack that way, in a \/ position as opposed to a /\ position? I only ask as most of the fats will pool in these rather than drip to the coals/wood, which produces the smoke and flavour that the barbie is loved for.

[@jigsaws02]

Just what i was looking for.. great job Jimmy, as always!

[@mosesmanaka8109]

One major flaw, you need to design the fireplace where air can circulate from beneath your coals or else your heat will go cold. Nicely built nevertheless. 🙂👊👍

[@johnwesley6929]

Man i though i had seen all sorts of BBQs'. I used to BBQ every weekend for months at a time. Somebody give this n... a BBQ Nobel Prize now, for his advances in BBQing science.

[@theMikeChastain]

At about 8:00 I was thinking "...wait...am I watching This Old Tony?" Then I noticed nobody was talking 😛...great work!

[@MrStudioso]

Bonus feature: the dripping grease lubricates the chains

[@RotaruSergiu90]

one thing is for sure, no one is going to steal that from your back garden without a crane

[@markduncan6690]

Some serious engineering!

[@iracingrookie3301]

Would you like shipping with your BBQ? Yes how much? $2000 Why so much? Well you need a crane to move it

[@TOMA21207]

This is most beautiful barbeque I have ever seen. Keep up good work.

Nice build. Love the mixing of steel fabrication with mechanical functionality.

[@Johnkool_010]

I had this idee just now and off course jimmy Diresta already did it amazing!

[@dherna12]

Jimmy - long time viewer, first time commenter. Is the grease meant to pour out onto the gears and lubricate them? Great video as always!

[@DigitalN8v]

Wow..them some cold skillz, diresta straight etched-a-sketched that handle on the lathe...n I thought my lathe skills were dope...but this guy has maker talent on another level.

[@misterprofessor3511]

If you want to get 3 inches away from the flame, you can move the meat sideways. Saves on welding.

[@taylorlittlehat7959]

I want one! Nothing better than grilling with natural wood or charcoal! Woohoo!

A perfect way to open up the grilling season. Great work there, Jimmy. You blew my mind again..If Jimmy DiResta build it, they will come!! By the way, how do you like your steak, Jimmy???

[@dananelson479]

Enjoyed the build. The barbecue looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
