It is VERY humbling when a guy who has every single possible tool available (and some that aren't!) to human kind at his disposal uses a drill, a hand plane, a band saw and a table saw to make this beautiful chair. This is why he's the Godfather!. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Very enjoyable and inspiring. Brass screws are absolutely unforgiving. Best to use a steel screw first to cut the thread and then back it out and slip the brass one in - much less chance of munting the brass screw head. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David
So relaxing to watch while waiting for a meeting, your flow is amazing I wish I had the space to indulge my creativity like this. You remind me of my dad who on weekends would disappear into his workshop with his cache of scrap wood and a myriad of glass food jars full of assorted new and salvaged hardware. Eventually a few weekends later a beautiful piece of furniture would emerge. If it was a chair sit on it once a table run his rough hands over it with one eye he gave 99% of the pieces away as it was the process that was the reward.
I noticed you have a Do All machine in your shop! Years ago the steel company i worked for shut down the pattern shop which was used to make molds for pouring steel. A crazy guy i worked with in the fab shop bought all the machines. Everyone thought he was nuts because they were all 3 phase. He was crazy as a fox because he got them for cheap and sold it all for $25,000! Today they would be worth three or four times that much. They were all in excellant condition and built like tanks !
Watching this video makes me feel steam bending is actually quite satisfying because you're able to get the shape you're looking for and the end product being exactly what you want. Great video Jimmy 👍🏽 👌👏
I just found you and I feel like I just hit the jackpot I love how you explain your thought process and your honesty I’m a retired veteran taking up this wonderful world of woodworking you are inspirational 🇨🇦
Stumbled on your channel. Wow. Your narration is superb. You choice vocabulary is vast, clear and thoughtful. Camera and editing, perfect. The best has to be, this can be anyone’s workshop, although very nice, nothing super flashy. You show the middle of the build. To me, the most important part of any build. The place where many mistakes can be made and ideas are formed or changed.
that really is beautiful. i was going to ask about your legs, Im sure putting an additional bend in the wood so it bends down toward the ground would help out with the legs.
That’s what I always love traditional woodworking so much to learn and so much talent goes in to each project you build. Thanks for all your fine woodworking lessons
Great build. The chair is great. One microscopic detail that rang my OCD bell. My father always made me line up the screw head slots. Really they all had to be in a straight line. I think I will make for of these for my patio. After all they only take 20 minutes apiece to build!
What a cool car in the background ! What make and model, 1950’s rocket ship styling. The woodwork going on is pretty good too. I teach Design Technology at Diploma and Middle Years programme. I would love to do this as a project etc. I was a fine antique conservator / cabinet maker in London before teaching in Jordan and now S Korea. I am pleased to see you using push sticks. I cannot show students videos with hands going close to saw blades as it sends mixed messages on safety.
I am Roberto from Italy. I like very much your chair and i like your hand working. I have only a little thing to say, the hand screws looks very much better if all the cuts in their heads are all in the same direction.
Been waiting for this one! What an awesome take on an age old design. Very cool to watch the process and today I learned that I need to order “furniture” hot glue! Do you need a special gun for that? Thanks for bringing more Jimmy to us, Rockler!
What!?!?!?! 1950 WHAT!?!?!!? That Cadillac Hearse is absolutely awesome. What's the condition? Man I freakin love that. I'm a woodworker but man my dream is to have one of those. Just like Radio Werewolf.......... "I'm in love with my baby but she knows what comes first cuz I'm in love my 1960's CADILLAC HEARSE!!!!!!" "She's a hitchhikers nightmare a morticians dream, burning rubber on Route 9015.
That was a very interesting video. I've never seen hot glue used in a form like that before but it certainly worked in this case. Food for though. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful chair. Stained or mineral oil/bees wax would be stunning. Kind of a shame to cover all that beauty in paint. Great work and tutorial. Can say how muck I appreciate your channel and others like it.
Beautiful work. I love the design. I think I'd prefer it leaning back a bit and use it as a comfy fireplace relaxation. (Those slotted screws are the worst. I can't see how people prefer them to screws that function.)j

This is Jimmy working his magic. No ego, no attitude, just the man sharing the love of the craft. This is a happy place indeed. Thank you man.
Thank you ☺️👊🏼👊🏼

The Maker, showing you how he does it. That's Jimmy at his best. Showing people, demystifying the process. Awesome
Taylor is rubbing off on you in your design sensibilities! Very Mid-century danish....Excellent
Taylor's design style is super clean. And you'll never meet a nicer person. Catching up with her (and Jimmy) was a highlight of Maker Camp!

Great tip
As the first UA-cam maker I ever watched, Jimmy Diresta is actually a huge reason why I build or make anything at all.
Wife got me a steam unit for my birthday last year. Time to put it to better use. Great video. Thanks
I love how Jimmy in a way SENDS IT. He makes you realize that the most important thing is to just do it.
Awesome Video Jimmy. Always enjoyable to watch the teacher in you let the info spill out onto the floor like that. Just awesome.
beautiful work, traditional screws and screwdriver

There’s always something to learn from Jimmy. Never a disappointing project or video. Very cool chair with a fun and inspiring process.
I love how Jimmy has no rules for the process. He does what makes sense to him, and it works.

Fantastic wonderful chair Jimmy's family Greece 🇬🇷
You are a master blaster mate. Its a pleasure to watch you work . Extremely neat and practical . Keep it up.Best of luck on all your future ventures .
Nice video. Really appreciate the explanations of the why behind the decisions. Always appreciate a Jimmy Diresta project!

Watching Jimmy work is such a joy. Hearing him narrate his process and his thoughts really flesh a project out in a super satisfying way.
As a shorter person I think the length is perfect. Love the design.
I saw the chair in real life, an absolute stunner!
Thank you Jimmy
Love the ‘57 caddy hearse! Beautiful.
One of my favorite styles of chair. Very nice build Jimmy. Thanks.
Thanks, Jim. I'll have to use this with my students I have at least one or two a year that want to challenge themselves with steam bending.
Great build. The chair is great. One microscopic detail that rang my OCD bell. My father always made me line up the screw head slots. Really they all had to be in a straight line. I think I will make for of these for my patio. After all they only take 20 minutes apiece to build!
“Diresta Classic” is the best! ❤️🔝
The cheer turned out really nice!I can see how though seat is a little bit short. But it does look really good and very comfortable.

You my friend are a TRIP!!
Beautiful chair. Looks like the perfect seat length to me but I have a hard time finding shorter length seats that let my feet touch the ground.
Great job Jimmy! 😍👍🏼

Beautiful. Need to make a bigger and wider one for a more comfortable sitting
Masterpiece. Great job.
