DiResta: Skull Belt Buckle

[@ikyiAlter]

The amount of fun you can get with a set of wood chipping tools (or whatever those are called), a piece of wood and some creativity/imagination. Pretty awesome.

[@jimmydiresta]

Madam thank you for the love !!!! Happy to inspire !!

[@alexbergen8356]

[@logiclovr]

Welding, locksmithing, woodworking, drawing... Where did he learn to do all that stuff? This guy is amazing!

[@archbishop8719]

Watching the carving process is gratifying...

[@terrydearing7480]

Seeing6 the geniral disaray of your work bench brings back memorys of my own training in the makeing of jewelry business.

[@43monk]

[@CAMXposurePhoto]

I hope I never stopping finding videos from you that are so cool - trying to find ideas of what I can make with a small 120VAC AIM 96J kiln

[@ozstriker1984]

Am i the only one that finds the sound hypnotic

[@yopyopu3258]

+ozstriker1984 no this sound is hypnotic :)

[@MarikoIchigo]

It's really soothing

[@yesno8775]

+saulsebrook Lol, I fall asleep to his videos almost every night

[@beenthuggen]

no

[@elente]

Nope. Me too.

[@clydebalcom8252]

Master Craftsman is such an understatement.

[@capnskustomworks]

Handmade belt buckle, watch fob, and tool chaps... I have few outright idols but Jimmy DiResta is soundly amongst them!

[@BradsWorkbench]

What kind of metal was it that was melted down?

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Thanks! This inspired me to make my own belt buckle and video about it.

[@airwolf28]

I took metal shop back then in high school and the sand mixture is sand and water mixed together and leaves a impression of the model that Jimmy used. A lot of casting are made by using this method..

[@Screamingtut]

cool Jimmy love watching you build stuff

[@niiimz_]

A lotta fun to watch! Awesome work man!

[@woodstoney]

This is no "Skullduggery". This is the master at creative creations! Nice buckle Jimmy!!

[@AngelRivera-ok4pn]

I love Skulls stuff!!! This is awesome Diesta!!!

[@Egwenna]

Those sounds are so satisfying for some reason...

[@MrDekanneas]

You are such an artist man!

[@MiaZappata]

Super fun to watch this one!!

[@DiyEcoProjects]

Now that is REALY cool - well done

[@febrezemuch]

[@coryshay]

[@xVinceCx]

Dude this was so well done. Thx.

[@goofayoo]

Brilliant! Have you done this with the 176-892 pewter? Cheers!

[@pusherpilot]

Amazing and multifaceted.

[@strokerace5468]

Have you ever thought of changing your name from Diresta to Badass? You make some cool stuff

[@AmonGus-xy5gl]

Weiser Adler Why would you say such a thing?

[@MistSol]

You just inspired me. I'm going to give it a shot sometimes this weekend or next weekend.

[@Mastering3d]

great video what is that you are melting there silver ? and what was that you are using to make that mold ? i really need some help i have high art back ground but never done any of this before and want to start getting into and create some amazing things .

[@grumpyphill]

bloody brilliant very gifted DiResta

[@anirudhdhajani]

I guess this is the first video where demonstration of the output is at the end! lol :) Awesome as always

[@jokerar1513]

Hello you tube this guy is a fantastic builder !!!!!! Dose any one no what type of metal he is melting to make that belt buckle ?? Thank you to any one who answers

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Badass buckle from a Badass builder. Couldn't help but notice that you did not sign this piece. Curious...

[@wolfeman351]

What was the material used to make the mold? It looked like a clay or sand. We used sand back in shop class because it was cheap but for a reusable mold it did not hold up well. 2 maybe 3 uses and done.

[@darfederal]

Qual material você usa pra fazer a forma final?

[@CordeliaEarle]

I love the little noises.

[@badarticle9132]

This is flipping superb. Really wish Jimmy would cut down on the CNC machining on his own channel. Im all for technology but stuff like the above vid shows how damn talented he is and shows what’s in reach for those of us (most of us!) without a CNC machine.

[@mileshy]

I wanna cry . . . you make it look s...............o simple

[@ThaxChef]

im not sure but i think he has the gopro hero 3 and with that you can download a app to see and controll it via wifi

[@amaninavandownbytheriver4393]

Nice Pirate buckle.. Jack Sparrow would like it..are you using pewter?

[@flyinspirals]

[@SgtPickledic]

I love your videos! I just found your channel YT surfing yesterday... Been hooked!

[@juanjaimesiq]

DiResta, the man with more free time in the world

[@ThePimpllo]

Great job they look amazing!

[@fouriejosh]

Hi there. cool stuff man. Is that just normal enamel spray to make it back?

[@jonblake9163]

That's awesome. I love skulls.

[@grand_calimero989]

What kind of wood and what material for the buckle Was ist das für Holz und was für Material für die Schnalle

[@optimuprimoto]

I find also very impressive, the design of the belt attatchment. I know that it is not a big deal, but you did it with only one piece of iron strip, by bending it correctly, and i would have thought something more complex and difficult definitely . And also i had never seen this clay mold beign made in reality, except from some movies or documentaries that only show you one bit and not the whole proccess, which is something i like with your videos instead.

[@puppenkueche366]

Superb! Which material is the Beltholder? I want to build it!

[@FF2377]

Very cool! I am curious as to how many hours it took to do the carving? It looks like you put a lot of detail into it.

[@jimmydiresta]

yep krylon .. any thing black thank you !

[@be2withyourcow]

Love your video, but what kind of wood do you use ? And do you use some sort of clay for the mold ?

[@triplesevensix291]

BOSS WORK MATE! HAPPY XMAS.

[@sadochrist8534]

It might be considered pewter, or pewter might be ok, usually it's brittle though. In the description to this video it has a link to the make magazine website, from there you can find what exactly he used to make this.

[@ernestturnage3653]

Dude you're talented.

[@lydaalvarez123]

Now this,was AMAZING!

[@WouterZtube]

great one again. what did you use as a pin?

[@spanishflew]

love the sound effects . hows it done?

[@timheller5929]

hey man thats awesome! is that silver? or what kind of metal

[@motorheadv10]

This is my favorite video ever!!!

[@denasewell]

Snazzy ! While I am sure you could never tire of being told how awesome you are ..I am sure you hear it a lot but I have to say your talent exceeds what artists ,sculptures designers ,craftsmen , wood workers ,artisans and makers all aspire to be! You are all of these and more ..you are an immense talent technically and creatively !Thanks for the inspiration !

[@magnoid]

always awesome to watch you work :)

[@zclee]

DiResta is the man!

[@Hunchowww]

its soldering tin it melts when you heat it up with an torch its mostly known for cables and motherboards you see a small dot of silvery stuff where the cable connects

[@myytname]

I enjoyed the process, but what the crap did he use for metal and the sand mixture?

[@mrbomb1339]

That is some casting sand, just like regular sand so it can get in all the tiny little nooks but it sticks together really well when compacted

[@udontknow916]

That's amazing and amazingly simple... Thanks!

[@martinmartinez-vt7pu]

oh how can i get one of them buckles i really want one they look pritty cool .

[@lawrenceswindall]

Couple questions, one: what kind of wood and tools did you use to carve you template out with. Two: what kind of metal was that you smelted down. Three: what kind of putty was that? Just regular modeling clay? Thanks

[@PBNStriker]

Deft clay and, Tin alloy 178-888. Look in description.

[@mrknt2929]

ASMR. This is an excellent example of ASMR.

[@hrdlxs]

That was relaxing to watch

[@timfha]

why do you heat up the mold just before you add in the liquid metal?

[@proofesur]

:O this makes me want to run to my shed just to find out that i don't have skills

[@ZERO_42069]

Funniest thing i read all day

[@piggiepieccs1]

I legit came here for tips on making this for cosplay and now I know how to make a real belt buckle lol! Even though I can make this with less work it’s still awesome to see how the real thing is done

[@lukevanryn1076]

what did you use for the mold? and did you just melt lead of silver solder bar or what?

[@suffoftrading455]

hello ,,approximately how many grams that buckle

[@3117master]

If I tried to do that I'd wind up in the emergency room without a doubt.

[@RFC3514]

And if you tried to do that _in_ an emergency room, you'd probably end up in prison.

[@supernewuser]

I'm curious about your camera setup. At first I thought you were using the front facing camera on your phone as a second angle but later in the video it seems like your phone is just another monitor so you can see what you're doing.

[@karlvilhelmvalter669]

Was that lead?

[@pinknight101]

Hi was that aluminum metal? Thank you.
