DiResta's Cut: Built-in Seating & Storage Unit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Here Jimmy DiResta has to create a built-in for what looks like a new, or newly-renovated, apartment. We get to see him go from sketch to finished product, offering his signature tips along the way (like how to get your workpieces not to shift against one another when you drill in a pocket-hole screw). Then he shows us the all-important installation, where the trick is to make this seating and storage unit look like it was an integrated part of the apartment all along.
As a guy who does a lot of these built in bookshelves and benches, thank you for documenting the process so cleanly. I really liked seeing the other side of the camera on one of these builds. Cheers! 🍻
Incredible piece! I'd work for free for Jimmy for years just to absorb all that ingenuity and smart thinking. Great project.
3 days worth of work that would have taken me 3 months. Great job
I can't get enough of the DiResta's cut videos. Awesome!
Never knew you are dyslexic. A true inspiration in a profession with never ending measurements and precision. Thanks for sharing.
Jimmy, that was an outstanding build. your openness about your dyslexia and struggles really are an inspiration. From one dyslexic maker to another. I genuinely salute you. Cheers.
After many years watching, as often, you taught me a couple of gems in this vid. Thank you
Its nice to see the entire process, from design to installation.
Oooh! La! La!
Impressive! Always like it when you narrate. Gives a 'why' to the 'how'. Thank you.
Nice vid again Jimmy! Your videos has been motivating me since i found them when i was in hospital curing from cancer 3yrs ago. They cheered me up every time i saw them ever since. From that point i knew, that all i want is create things like you do. Now i´ve finally found a little basement where i can get starded my own little workshop. I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you Jimmy, and keep going!
Great to hear! Thank you buddy's
You do the best build videos on all of UA-cam brother. Your the best plain and simple. I learn so much from just watching you work.
What gets me about Jimmy every time, is how friggen humble the dude is! Great work man....
He is so humble and so talented. The more I learn about him the more I realize just how talented he is.
I've been watching your videos on a few of your projects. I am in a daze watching you work on your builds totally seeing a master at work. Your dialogue throughout your videos, making it sound like oh don't worry you can do it too! Who wouldn't like to build with you? I will keep on watching the projects. Absolutely mind blowing making Big Project look easy enough that anyone could do. Keep on, Excellent work. Cheers!!
Very impressive, your ability to design and build as you go is fantastic!
That tip about letting the glue dry before screwing in the kreg screws just changed my life!

Absolutely. Saw other channels using a lot of specialized clamps or other strategies, but this one definitely requires the least equipment for the best result.
Ah, the "hold your breath" moments... That's usually when you find out the ceiling or floor has a 1" slope to it and everything fits tight on one end and loose on the other. Great build and narration.
Always a pleasure to see your work. Joke a side tomorrow I'll receive my first table saw to continue making my modest workshop better. Your videos helped me, they both inspire me and give me a lot of knowledge and tips. I'm really grateful. Sorry for my English. Send you a big hug from Argentina!
I do woodwork but I think Jimmy is the best planner, designer I have seen.
Another great and inspiring video. I am sure you know this trick about brass screws. Have a regular screw the same size, run it in then remove it, then insert the brass screw. It is time consuming but if you have a situation where you can't afford a broken screw it is worth it
don't see why this video has dislikes Jimmy has got a gift his videos are awesome an very inspirational keep up the good work an vids jimmy
That's a really nice bench but, what i liked the most was the improvising with the outlets and how it looked like it was all in the plan.
Thanks for the great video. To say that your work is awesome is an understatement.
I have watched many of your videos in which all the action is at 3x or 4x speed with sounds coming from the saw, router, etc. This video is different and more interesting. Your voice explaining what you are doing adds tremendous value to the video. Please ensure that all your future videos will always incorporate your commentary and explanation.
Love the videos with voice over, so much extra detail and it shows just how clever you are. Superb finished product too!
I learn something new every time i watch one of your videos. Thanks!
"DiResta's cut" videos are my favorites! Beautiful job.
Those little hold down clamps on your jig are super handy,just finished a project which required loads of repetitive angle cuts similar to yours and it was so simple after making a jig using those clamps as hold downs. As always a great video.👍
Like the video isn't enough, I say it every time, love the narration.
Learn something!???? I can't even quantify how much i've learned from your videos. Thank you so much!
Glad I found your video. Building a window bench with an electric outlet right in the middle. Never thought of using a power strip to extend it til now. Lot easier and less concerning than re-wiring stuff.
First!!
Another great video Jimmy!
LOL!
First Deleted !!!
Sales price?
I suspect you had inside information.
Wonderful project and video! The only thing worse than a brass screw is a slotted brass screw. Thanks for sharing your mistakes along with all of your greatness!
you just changed my whole way of doing things... great tip on giving glue a few minutes of dry time before setting the kregg screws! never thought about that.
Awesomesauce as usual Jimmy. I'm pretty dyslexic myself and it can be very discouraging sometimes or at very least frustrating when working on things such as this. It's funny I find your shortcuts and tips help a lot with getting around some of my dyslexia issues. You and your work are such an inspiration. keep up the great work man.
Jimmy "night voice" Diresta! ha! love it and love the Diresta's Cut series
What a lot of knowledge right there.
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Turner Everett Instablaster :)
Yet another awesome video made by you Jimmy!
I was happy to hear that you are a dyslectic, since I'm one too.
I know the struggle when it comes to numbers and trying to explain to people things, when I haven't the words for it in my vocabulary.
But I have the gift of drawing the things, so if I can't explain so I often try and draw the thing I'm trying to say.
Keep up the awesome projects you always do! Take care!
Hey Jimmy! As always, I love learning and some times re-learning shop tips that I had forgotten, Thanks for the tip on the Craig jig (glue before screw) I don't use the jig often because of the shifting and I the clamped leg table extension I use all of the time but often forget between uses.
I really appreciate the explanation of your forethought as you build I.E. notching for molding and separating the pieces to ensure they come apart in sections that will transport and install easily. I am a member of the "build the item too big to leave the shop club" and that is a lesson that can ruin your whole day.
Thanks again Buddy!
Fantastic work Jimmy. Love the videos, and these with the narration are a cool extra. Always watching for new tricks!
Wonderful build. It was nice to see some of you problem solving and creativity as you went along.
Awesome job Jimmy! The work you do is an inspiration to a lot of people.
Keep up the great work

Your work is amazing, you should never worry that video's are too long.
I likei that pull saw trick..dude..most of all i like how your shop is crammed with stuff..i don't like sharing work space with junk..cant wait to see how long it'll take you to fill that huge new work shop you had built on your property...sure dig how you turned a sketch into an awesome working piece of furniture..thought you where gonna upholster the bench...looks great either way..
Nicely done Jimmy. Another inspirational video.
great work as always and thanks for the tip on letting the glue dry a little before screwing the kregg screws.
Great tip on letting the glue set when using pocket screws! I haven't heard that one before.
Loved this video!!! ... Love the tip on the waiting for the glue to dry before putting screws in the kreg jig... Genius dude... Yes.. it wiggles out of square so easily... lol Totally want to run out and try this right now... The client had to love this!!!
I really cant get enough of you videos I learn so much
making it look easy Jimmy I love and hate that. always picking up ideas from you thanks for the effort
Great Video JD! I picked up quite a few tips, especially the waiting about 10 minutes before driving the Kreg Screws! You're a BIG inspiration Brother! Have A Super Week!..... Gus
Cheers Jimmy, have to say I like the commentary in your videos a lot. I know its a lot more work so thank you bro big thumbs up here
Clean as a WHISTLE! Nice job, man. Kudos!
WOW, amazing. I see all your videos from Denmark, Scandinavian. Big fan of your builds
Great job Jimmy. You never disappoint
Beautiful and functional design JImmy.

Absolutely beautiful work Jimmy! !
Excellent build and very educational... thanks Jimmy.
I absolutely love the things you build. Amazing job.
So impressed right now. WOW!
I wish I could afford to have Jimmy, or someone as skilled as Jimmy, redo my kitchen with some custom cabinets and countertops.
Beautiful work as always, great video Jimmy.
great video jimmy really nice how it all came together and nice tip on the craig joint on letting the glue set for a bit then screwing i should've thought of that and love that hand plane
Wonderful work Jimmy, thanks for sharing.
God Bless my friend.
both beautiful and incredible work Jimmy.....jobs a good'un brother!!!!!!
Looks beautiful Jimmy.
I work in at a small company making kitchen interiors and I can tell you flipping numbers around isn't just a problem for dyslexics :D
Or looking at the wrong side of a measuring tape so it ends up exactly 10mm off... Measure twice, cut once!
Amazing work, tnx Mr. DiResta for sharing it!!!
I love these. It really helps us all to see how someone with a lot of experience does stuff. Thanks man
Thanks for the video Jimmy, we love your work!
Nice workmanship. Great narrative!
I have a an issue. Not enough videos 😉. Awesome as always learn something almost every time.
I see you have chickens. Perhaps one day I'll wander into the supermarket and see a frozen chicken with "DIRESTA" stenciled on it.
F u n n n y!!!
Fantastic video - you have a really good way of explaining what you do.
I've watched every video and for me it's a learning process, very motivating and inspiring at the same time...
Very nice Jimmy, both the result and the very enjoyable video. Much appreciated, thank you : )
I really appreciate the summary at the end. Good to know how much time all that took.
Great build. It looks great in the space.
That Was A Work Of Art Amazing Jimmy Just Amazing! !
using the hardwood in the corners is just too cool :D
Watched without blinking! awesome!!
i feel you on the numbers thing. 36" and 63" are the two I switch.. And i miscall orange as yellow and yellow as orange. I know the colors and the numbers...I just can't seem to keep them straight in my brain much less say them outloud! Great build man.
Sempre estou assistindo seus videos são meus favoritos no youtube,parabéns Jimmy
So much sharing of general knowledge !
So very well done.
DOOOOOD !!!
You keep practicing... I'm sure you'll get better at all this maker stuff...
Awesome build... Thanx for the share.
Great vid! Thanks for all the audio tips--very helpful and useful.
Jimmy ... With a teacher like you there is no such thing as " luck........I am amazed that after 63 years of being the McGyver to my friends and Bosses the amount of knowledge I have learned from you..( not kissing your butt just stating the truth) is astonishing... Great build ....... The owners of it will be very happy with it..........as always ... Protect Your DIGITS...........Gregg
Thank you brother!!
Always learning from you Jimmy, thank you.
This is a really cool piece! Nice work as usual, Jimmy!
Thanks for the kreg glue tip. I hadnt known that before... should make my next project go easier.
That feeling of dread when fitting on-site, I measured it ten times, surly its going to fit!
Moi bo traballo Iaguiño!! Great work Jimmy!! From Galicia!
That look's awesome Jimmy
great build Jimmy!! looks awesome. keep up with the videos, I always look forward to seeing them.
interesting you mention dsylexic. I also have the same problem sometimes. I think it works differently for people. I manage mine by being aware of it. thanks for your work!
Beautiful might be my favorite "large" project you have done.
Beautiful Jimmy!!
Great design Jimmy 👍
Beautiful work!
That was a nice little touch with the outlets. Most people would just write those off.
Beautiful, just beautiful..
