Things I Wish my Father Taught me - w/ Jimmy Diresta

[@billluster7687]

Hey Carl... I'm 75 years old and still have many of my dad's old hand tools. He taught me and my brother a lot. There's no replacing that knowledge. I still love work. Love building stuff. Working with my hands. I passed that knowledge to my 4 sons about how to fix things, how to build things, and how to save money for the future. Worked out pretty well for us. Four fine boys with successful careers. Yes, it works. Merry Christmas. Enjoyed your video.

Jimmy makes everything look so easy! Great video Carl! Excited for the new series.

In the world of KZbin, you never know what will “land” with an audience... But one thing I can say, this story/series has purpose and was worth telling. For me it was less about the actual content but more the spark to reflect. This video motivated me to look within on how I can be a better father and certainly something I will be journaling about. I have a great relationship with my father and taught me to be creative, problem solve and work with my hands. I wouldn’t change anything. Many of ways I walk in the same footprints of my father and I hope to pass the same “lessons” onto my son. Be grateful, be great. This video was worth it. -Matt

Damn Matt, this might be the best comment I've gotten all year long. Thank you dude.

Really cool video. I first discovered Jimmy Diresta through This Old House. Dude is very talented and multifaceted. This promises to be a cool series Carl. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you for the kind words, merry Christmas!

[@marlenakauer5262]

Merry Christmas, Carl! Thanks for all the amazing content this year!

[@CarlMurawski]

My pleasure! Merry Christmas!

[@marlenakauer5262]

Finally actually finished the video! Was significantly less online focusing on time spent with family this week. Hope you got to do the same. Think this will be a great series! I know he’s not in your neck of the woods, but highly recommend essential craftsman for this series! I credit him to a lot of stuff I learned about safety and making things/figuring out building problems creatively. Similar to how I credit you to helping me develop my personal style and confidence in how I dress myself! Cheers!

Beautiful video, jimmy’s always inspire me to make something for sure. Gracias Jimmy 🙌

Super cool. Young guys need more of this. I was lucky to have a dad who was tough but compassionate, fair but generous, emotionally intelligent but able to buck up when he needed to. I hope we see more of this.

[@Monkeyman15687]

Fantastic video. My father was an engineer in the RAF. He was an expert mechanic and carpenter. He taught me and my older brothers how many a problem can be solved with patience and common sense. Sadly, he passed when I was 17. I was always a little jealous of my brothers who had more time with him being that much older than myself. The funny thing is, I’m 56 now and I’ve realised just how much I passively learnt from him through being around him. I miss him now as I always have but I’m so glad to have had such an amazing father. Merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours.

Happy holidays Carl! Wishing you the best!

[@CarlMurawski]

You too, thanks!

[@annahenderson1730]

This was amazing, please do more!

My dad passed when I was 12 from cancer, my grandpa was always my biggest male remodel and he was a badass. He did a lot of carpentry, hunting and had real old school masculine style. When he passed I decided to stop dressing like a high school kid and that when I found your channel and learned a lot from them. Since then I’ve learned a lot of other styles and hobbies. I’ve been doing carpentry myself since my grandpa passed down some of his tools to me and haven’t been in the workshop due to some waterproofing we had to do in the basement. Anyways this my long winded explanation that this video really makes me wanna get back in the shop and get it put back together to start making some stuff again! Thanks gents!

[@CarlMurawski]

Damn dude, thank you for sharing! I hope you can get back out and start making stuff!

[@workingclassgarage]

[@theroadlesstraveled6253]

Hey Carl, best post ever on this channel. Thanks for trying new stuff!

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you! It was a labor of love

[@jimmccoys5778]

It amazes me the things that I find to be common sense I picked up in shop class and metal shop in high school!! My kids have been robbed of that with those classes being unavailable now!! It really is sad that these classes have fallen by the wayside!!

[@williamdertinger4434]

Great idea Carl!

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you!

Awesomeness 👍👍👍👍 Merry Christmas

[@CarlMurawski]

Thanks! You too!

[@andrewc9790]

Super rad video! Jimmy is definitely one of the great "Influencers"... I hate that word. He is the great inspirationer, inspireior?

[@Thosibom]

What a great idea for a video or series. It was a pleasure to watch this. But the auto translated title nearly didn't click me on this video. When I subscribe to an English channel, I don't expect German titles. At least this one seams not to have any mistakes through the translation. And even better, Google don't play the auto translated audio track. Thanks for your video and a merry Christmas 😁

[@krazytravtrav]

Carl whats your polo t shirt called ?

[@DesertKnifeGuru]

Great Stuff, Thank You

[@CarlMurawski]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NoriOfDurin]

Hey, I really enjoy your content and thank you for making it. My question is off topic from this video but I can’t help but ask, what’s with the four videos on the JJ Suspenders channel you made?

[@CarlMurawski]

They paid me to make some videos for their website years ago.

[@NoriOfDurin]

@@CarlMurawskithank you for taking the time to answer my question.

[@howyduinyall7653]

Loving the Brawlers Carl,convince me to buy them rather than my favourite brand at the moment Truman’s.

[@CarlMurawski]

You could buy two pairs of Brawlers in totally different leathers for the price of some Truman’s. The finer details won’t be as refined, admittedly, but it’s a LOT of boot for the money.

[@howyduinyall7653]

@CarlMurawski Out of interest how much are the brawlers in the US?

[@frankconrad2709]

It all starts here right now

[@chicagoan6342]

Did you mention you also had a full head of hair?

[@tk423b]

Lilly Millet, she’s a ranch hand. Anyone know where I can find her?
