DiResta: Meeting Table

In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PST), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy builds a custom meeting table with Sketch Up.
For Jimmy's notes, tools and materials lists, and sketchbook images, see the post on MAKE: makezine.com/video/diresta-mee...

Centuries later Tour guides in museums will say, "And this piece, is a part of 'The Diresta Collection.'"

[@dLimboStick]

Artist! Not only the table, but the video production too. Beautiful work. Bravo!

[@ZaneWBuxton]

I love the idea of the plywood frame with the veneer strips - I never would have thought of that! Excellent video (as always) and a great project idea!

[@lockcitywoodworks]

I've just been binge watching all of your videos, Jimmy. I'm so inspired to go home and make some dust!

[@azimpetra]

It's like a floor but as a table :D DiResta videos are so addicting to watch. The fast forward really does it.

[@ColchesterBridgeport]

This is my favourite DiResta project. Very do-able.

[@zapateco]

Dudes, in these times of doing-absolutely-nothing-but-computer-stuff your video absolutely moved me. The actual piece work and the way the whole thing is edited, I can't just not say MORE!

[@JessVideoDude]

Jimmy, you my friend are scary gifted. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@fednis]

Seeing this done so quickly is just so satisfying

[@Creator_Nater]

Diresta, you are a gd modern day renaissance man. Now you make power tool music videos! You're a real inspiration, thanks for sharing

[@jakeeinherjar]

[@ter450]

Great idea for the filler patches. Always have struggled with the color matching process myself. Beautiful, yet functional art work.

[@acasey1223]

Jimmy, this is my 4th time watching this You did a fantastic job. That table would be a great dinning table too. Your talent really does pays off. Keep up with the great work!!

[@Candyman97]

I like the lens, because it gives you a wider view, of what you are doing!

[@monkeycrow84]

nice! looks like a massive version of my work desk. it was an old metal frame with oak floorboards for the top i found in a mates shed. it had been in there for about 25 years! i got rid of the rust, painted it black and sanded and waxed the top. gota say it looks better than anything i could find ina shop and apart from tthe paint and wax it was free! Love the vid diresta, keep em coming!!

[@myersmatt7]

Wow, that table looks beautiful! I especially like how you used a hollow core on the table top.

[@michaelr7110]

AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

awesome as always Jimmy! Even being "hollow", I bet that thing weighs a TON.

[@gnovakIII]

I love this!!!

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you all for the love ! and support !

[@MNIronAndGrain]

[@TheStrifeDesign]

Now that's how you make a few pieces of walnut? go a very long way! Great job, I may appropriate this technique. Hanging out for your next vid, thirsty for more.

[@cookingandjava7574]

[@BarryFelicecapehandyman]

You have the skills...very talented.

[@tsummerlee]

Gorgeous.

[@junocomm]

Love it! Putting on all those pieces on the top looked tedious, but the results are well worth it. Now...about making me one... : )

[@gganticgary]

like a dark double wide bowling table, love it

[@camronhyder]

this was so inspiring! thank you

[@joshuajones1977]

Another fine job Jimmy. Wish I could work that fast...

[@Remius106]

Nice job... Great idea with timber patchwork, guess the idea could be used for any large scale timberwork...

[@CredibleHulk10]

Beautiful work, as always; but I had a perverse desire to see the typical Diresta 'sharp object thrust' into the table as the finale. :)

[@pfoxhound]

You are the best!

[@shuwentian4631]

very good work

[@petestyles8911]

your channel just makes me want to be able to do stuff like this!

[@jimmydiresta]

[@mickenoss]

The welding part was pretty funny. =)

[@ericplum]

Awesome!

[@aaronblakely5873]

I always wondered how the meeting table at work was made. The legs are different but the top is made like yours with strips but in an oval shape. Thanks for showing me.

Super amazing

[@Agisoso]

Great work as always. I'd make it on high polish personally, though. But of course it's a matter of what one like.
