Steel Stools for my New Shop

[@jimmydiresta]

To be clear I want to scratch the new floor. That is the goal. Jk Ill ad feet pads. Relax.

[@clydedecker765]

ahhh! I see.

[@DavidPlass]

You do you. It's your floor. Stools look great!

[@bthaxthaxton4821]

I had to delete my comment after I read this...I honestly wasn't sure if you really wanted the scarring look or not!

[@javbw]

I assumed your first project in the leather studio was to make little ”L” profile leather socks, copper riveted to the feet☺ Great job on the stools!

[@osamaali969]

I think that holding it incorrectly while moving it could cause harm, so I suggested flogging

[@SteveDrees]

While I appreciate the traditional Diresta-style silent movie, I really appreciate the insights into the mental process as Jimmy is learning a new skill.

[@jeffreeder8184]

I feel your pain on the sand blaster. Great looking stools though!

[@MatKat451]

The fact that Diresta is the name many hold as the diy KZbinr beacon, it still impresses me that it clearly hasn't gone to your head. Your humility makes your videos as homey and approachable as the first ones. Thank you sir for the consistency and entertainment

[@StephensPenTurnings]

ALL the cool tools. There is nothing like making shop items, be they stools, shelves,drawers or even cord hangers. You get the satisfaction that YOU made it and learn along the way. Well done Jimmy!

[@worstworkshop]

That leatherworking studio is dreamy!

[@masterofnone]

Color and the sheen after the sandblasting looks so cool. I am glad you kept it like that

[@goptools]

Hi Jimmy. Nice build on the stools for the leather shop. That plasma table must be like magic. Imagine how difficult it would be to make all the pieces needed for the stools without it. My dad was a sheet metal mechanic his whole life. He could make things like your stools with hand tools. I never could come even close. Pretty amazing how far metal fabrication has come.

[@Voicesofjake]

Great build man! And great video. Loved all the explanations.

[@AlbertoMartinez-rk2lf]

your shop is the dream of every single kid in this world!

[@supadeluxe]

Love the rivets and the design. Makes me think of the old shipyards.

[@danbarrett6113]

I do not think that I ever missed a thumbs up on any video I've seen of yours. You are the man Jimmy boy..

[@randynorris6598]

Jimmy, as always great content, to make that bead roller easier to use, get rid of the hand crank and install a small steering wheel from an old riding lawnmower. I found a 12" wheel from a Wheel Horse mower. Works great.

[@jimmydiresta]

Great idea 💡

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

Great video jimmy . I’m taking notes

[@jimmydiresta]

Jody! Thank you!

[@davidmanuel1984]

Jimmy did you sign the stool???? I think this is the first project that you don’t sign….🙃🙃🙃😱😱😱😵‍💫😵‍💫😭😭😭😭whyyy?? 🤣🤣 greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷!! Much love!! Love your work!! Thanks for everything jimmy

[@EngineeredToDesign]

Incredible workmanship, I remember watching you way back in the basement workshop getting things done. Now you have a massive workshop very cool 👌🏻

[@WoodenCreationz]

I really liked the rivet technique and the sand blasted look is great man!!! Very Nice Jimmy! 🔥

[@WeekendShedHead]

Fantastic stools Jimmy.. you never fail to give me inspiration 🙌 cheers Rob

[@jeremyspecce]

Love the early access with Patreon! Really love following you through the whole process from design concept to execution.

[@jimmydiresta]

❤🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@hp7093]

Kudos for patreon

[@PaulMeyette]

I agree, watching this develop on Patreon was insightful.

[@Dopefish76]

I’ve been around long enough to remember when you were so reluctant to learn to use digital fabrication techniques and now you can make those robots dance! Nice work Jim 🤘🏻

[@jimmydiresta]

☺️

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

You have so many wonderful toys! I hit 70, and am down sizing to an extent. Still love to play though, and love learning new ideas and techniques. Love your posts.

[@jdmccorful]

72 and still improvin!

[@danielmuscatell3603]

Thanks for all your videos and for continuing to invite us into your shops!

[@bendavanza]

Love the stools! What a beautiful setting and a dedicated spot for your leatherwork..

[@lisastaven494]

Always a pleasure watching your work. I hope you put something on the bottom of the legs so they don’t damage those beautiful wood floors.

[@jpalarchio]

Beautiful work. Was fun to see these develop on Patreon.

[@moniemonie48]

Amazing stools! Loved watching the journey from concept to end product, seeing how you think things through. I was wondering, though, would it hurt the integrity of the stool structure if the upper and lower corners of the legs were rounded? Just thinking I would not want to get caught on the sharp corner, or gouge that beautiful wood floor with the bottom corner. Just wondering. All the best, and keep on being such an awesome inspiration!

[@blazer5154]

Gotta' love the paper "stool-sample." 😅

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. Love how the material defines the process. Nice job on the bead roller. The stools are fabulous! Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific work Jimmy & that Chicago bending machine is totally awesome! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@JeffGloverArts]

I'm constantly amazed and inspired at how you can use some pretty heavy-duty machinery to create art - functional art, but, yeah. Art. Those stools are classic! Thank you!

[@PaulMeyette]

They look awesome, Jimmy. Watching the process on Patreon was insightful. To see how a craftsman develops through trial and error gives us confidence in our own process. I like the idea of "bespoke" for the leather shop too. Very cool 😎

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you brother ❤

[@Oijres]

You can make a smokeless fire pit using this technique. I think a diresta style one could be really cool. The idea there is that fresh air through a double wall gets to the top of the flame and ignites the smoke. 🔥 💨🌋

[@reforzar]

Super exciting to see the leather studio coming together. Beautiful chairs!

[@rosco1pug]

Sturdy design but those legs need soft tips or some design element that spreads and cushions the load, especially on a fine timber floor

[@jeremyspecce]

That’s my only thought, too. Might even be able to just weld a nut in the bottom corner and put some threaded slides.

[@calholli]

yeah.. Also, I would rather have the legs lap under the top.. Or at the very least, round over those sharp points at the top of the legs.. I'd hat3 to slide off of the seat and that sharp corner hook your pants or worse. It's a minor change.. but I bet it will get someone eventually. :)

[@davidmeyer9204]

Thank you so much for sharing this! You had me hook, line and sinker watching the evolution process on Patreon. Someday I have to shake your hand and say thanks for everything.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you David ❤

[@divyajnana]

Dude! The rivets really make it pop, they're beautiful. That break is a monster, great job using the bead roller, especially by hand like that, especially with thicker steel, great job.

[@Ngun200]

When i dont have the time or need to make something useful myself, i get my dopamine makers hit by watching your videos instead. The stools are cool and very useful for any setting (home or workshop. My dream tool list is getting ever longer, darn.

[@thanemakes5377]

I followed the run up of the design through Patreon… nice to see the finished design in the leather studio (which is looking sharp as well!)… cheers Jimmy!

[@jeremyspecce]

Definitely very cool seeing all the iteration

[@WildmanTech]

That brake is a monster! I really need to build a bead roller!

[@danielbuck]

me,as someone who only occasionally uses a manual bead roller like this, I'd say you did good :D

[@GrimOrc]

Last time i watched this channel is a few years back when there was no commentary and mostly sped up footage. I have to say i really like this style with you explaining your steps and all, keep it up!

[@jimmydiresta]

I am growing up 😅😅 thank you! 🙏🏼

[@ldsisler]

These are amazing, I always enjoy watching you do stuff like this... videos where you learn a new skill and tool and simplify a build process. Thank you Diresta

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, Jimmy! Fantastic looking stools! 😃 But it made me remember something. My parents finished the construction of our farm house around 35 years ago. At the time they ordered some pine stools, that they painted blue. And they're still there! In one piece and I think they never painted them again! So... Imagine those metal ones! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@saginawdan]

Super nice space for your leather work! Thanks Jimmy! 😊

[@rockstarfan886]

Ive seen a lot of metal breaks but yours is by far the coolest.

[@peter_kelly]

The leather studio space is looking awesome.

[@jimrosson6702]

So very cool always so amazing watching you work Sir Thanks for sharing

[@dominicdelprincipe2583]

Y'all are pretty handy with that software, pard! Nice vid JD. Hope all's well, best to you and yours! - D Man, that leather shop is gonna be gorgeous.

[@Kernowwoods]

That was really impressive to watch dude. The combination of experience and gung-ho attitude is really inspiring 🤙

[@bobweiram6321]

What an awesome shop! You can make anything you want.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Those stools look great. Job well done.

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

Nice job Jimmy, what a brake🎉

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Love the retro look of those stools Jimmy!

[@dennisbracci9212]

Love watching you build stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@NemoSampaio]

Awesome work! Such an amazing way to start the week!

[@gkkent]

Love this format!! You’ve changed 😂 and It is always for the better!!!

[@mitchellbernstein42]

Love your creativeness and craftsmanship!

[@GaryOshust]

Outstanding, Jimmy!

[@steveslenderman]

Great addition to the leather studio. I’m sure you are looking forward to getting in there and going to school.

[@dmitryadam2901]

От проекта до готового изделия...... Великолепная работа!

[@mikesmisadventures]

Beautiful finished product. Really stunning in its simplicity.

[@tomim7187]

Those really look sharp, Jimmy. Hope you build more.

[@BILLYOMALLEY]

Killer build and video, Jimmy!

[@philipB31]

I was surprised you put the legs on the outside at the top, part of me thought you’d weld up the corners of the seat and linish the bead, then fix the legs inside, reducing the chance of catching yourself on the edges… but I can’t argue with the outcome, always the artist. Thank you for sharing.

[@jimmydiresta]

I wanted the details to show ❤

[@dhengen]

good call on the raw/petina finish. I think they'll age beautifully

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous steam punk look! Nice how you explain the software, wiring & use of the tools especially the wheel bender that adds so much to the look. UV from flashes have caused many uk dentists to need cataract surgery after viewing uv dental resin curing, (now they use blue light) so I always wear uv protection while plasma cutting. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheHandystanley]

Really nice job my friend.

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

I’m surprised the leg tops are not on the inside of the box. Fantastic end result. Can’t wait to see the leather studio. I know absolutely zero about leather work. So that will be great to watch.

[@garthbutton699]

Your comments about the sand blaster being a big PITA struck a chord with me but we all march on thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎

[@BMLEATHER]

I'm so envious of your future leather studio! Very excited to see the work of art that will be the studio. Obviously I am a big leather guy. So extra excited about future leather videos. But would love to see videos about the studio build. And awesome work as always!

[@hoosierkent1640]

Jimmy! A great way to start a beautiful Sunday -another inspiring project. I'll be getting off my buttox soon to do some Making myself. Thank you for sharing & informing! Very nice Build!!!

[@RDSWOODWORKING]

Nice job Jimmy 👍

[@AlAmantea]

Jimmy, you can always sink the rivets in backwards, use a cup on the back to keep it located, then use a concave punch on the outside to form the head. This gives a ton more room to swing and helps the rivet sink tighter!

[@splinters_66]

I love Jimmy’s toy shops, what great spaces, and just love the way you get in there and make. I’m still using pen and paper and elbow , nevertheless you are such a great inspiration for so many people.

[@Theorof]

It seems like the legs of the stools would gouge the floor. Some flats across the bottom would give some additional strength and prevent the legs digging into the floor.

[@hughsalmon1990]

Thanks Jimmy. Great video. True to your style . Love love

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Great look with those rivets. Thanks for the progress breakdown.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

The leather studio is going to look amazing, the stools are very nice 👍🏻. I think I know why the lights were flickering here the other day, it’s when you were using the breaker 😂. Well done as usual Jimmy 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@scottcampbell96]

If you were going to set up for production, would you eliminate the space between the legs so you could save metal/time on the plasma table? By alternating directions, you should be able to nest them together with very little waste.

[@jimmydiresta]

The plasma has to cut. You can share a line simply so close can save material but not a god idea to share a line

[@kfwoeltje]

They look great. Fun project

[@ghostspero]

Love watching old school laser cutting and folding

[@tomahoks]

There is a big black bandsaw in the background 11:00 . Gongrats❤

[@kennethcarver9687]

Great work, how about selling the plans,I have seen magnetic induction heaters that can heat small objects and produces no flame,it would only heat the rivet, not anything else, it would be great for your stool.

[@5thavenuestudios]

Haha dang Diresta I want one. My work area is real small and could definitely use a small stool. Love your thinking on projects. You just go after it and I see myself when I watch you work. Hopefully I’ll get as good as you. Thank you for the videos. Also I like when you talk in your videos more than your shop sound videos. If that means anything.

[@jimmydiresta]

❤thank you!

[@jason-ge5nr]

those stools are the same design we had in metal shop in the late 80's. i remember having to lap weld sheet metal with oxy/acet before getting to learn the stick welder

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister Jimmy beautifully made good job well done

[@dustylabarr2835]

This is great, thanks for all of the detailed explanation on the cad.

[@kenanderson2002]

I'm getting ready to watch Jimmy Diresta make stool. Gives a 'hole' new meaning to the 'maker' title. I'll be here all week! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA But seriously, I absolutely love watching your work, Jimmy. Such a wonderful inspiration!

[@andrewdyck9892]

Really great thanks as always Jimmy. Those are nice! Thanks for walking us through the illustrator / cutter progress I found that interesting and other makers I watch dont do that.

[@lgerback34]

Excellent work Jimmy

[@williamreinhard]

Ok, the stools look nice but damn that space you built them for is gorgeous.

[@seanstrehle6312]

Love watching you work with Steel

[@ZTFab1]

Awesome job Jimmy!!

[@wittworks]

Very cool

[@jimmydiresta]

❤😊

[@SjoerdJongerius]

Spot welding these stools would make the fabrication speed up if you'd produce them of course. Nice video!

[@brentkelley9560]

Love it! All media is subject to you!

[@tombrenes2411]

It’s been a while Awesome content Great project Love all the hard work

[@geneard639]

Come winter, you might want to think about adding either a plywood or leather pad to the tops of them stools .... for comfort.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHanks for the extra details. Fun video

[@esiebert7625]

Nice stools, I don’t understand why you didn’t just use a rivet gun instead of heating and hammering them. Where you trying to get a certain look doing it that way?

[@MichaelNatrin]

Great work!
