Love this book! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
IPE !! 🤘🏼
I'm a 39 yr old woman in Ireland who'll most likely never even hold never mind work with any of your tools, but Jimmy are so talented and I am facinated by your work, and spend many a Sunday morning lie in binge watching your awesome videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you !!! Xxoo!!
+der Hobbytierquäler hahaha
"who'll most likely never even hold never mind work with any of your tools"
Duh! Those are Jimmys tools, so no wonder! :D Go shopping some of your own tools in some local business, or drift market and start building. I get if you dont have hands, it might be kinda difficult, but thats just an excuse not to use your feet! Nothing can be archived, including learning, if nothing is done towards that goal, specially if you give up even before trying!
Jimmy has done this decades now, so no wonder he has the experience and skills, but nothing is preventing you to design your own project based on his, in scale you are feeling is fit to your skill level.
I have done some of jimmy style projects with tools from drift market, middle of my living room floor. Sure my GF is not keen on me doing these things here, but after i made her custom 1000€ crafting table, she has quiet about me taking over the living room...
For starters buy old hand planer from drift store, bring the blade to professional to be sharpened and do cleaning/restoration of the wood your self if blade part seems too much to handle. Thats the first project and you never the less will get working hand planer as result, but thats just a start. Good tools just make things faster, but everything can be archived with hand tools over time just like older generations did.
Tools and materials for such project are couple arcs of sand paper and bottle of wood protecting oil like boiled linseed oil, or tung oil. If you want take on the blade part use the sharpening stone that should be part of every kitchen anyways and then some oil to protect metal from rusting.
+Hellsong89 Oh aren't you so great, did you learn how to be so condescending and sanctimonious all by yourself too??
I never said I wanted to make stuff, that was my point- that I have no interest myself, yet I find Jimmys work and channel facinating.
You should check or try read between the lines before you go talking down and bragging to a commenter who was just giving the channel well deserved compliments
+Oscars Wilde don't listen to him he just wants an argument... I'm in the same boat as you
I was walking by the streets of NYC and I knew that Jimmy's workshop was around there. Then I saw that amazing bench on the street, yeah... that's DiResta style, it has to be here! Guess what, Jimmy appears out of the blue with a crazy Korean guy!!! Wow, a day to remember. We talk for a while and took some pictures but unfortunately Jimmy was closing the workshop so I had no chance to visit inside, he kindly asked me to wait until he gets back, but I had a flight to catch... well, maybe in my next time in USA! You can recognize his geniality when you question yourself: how could he come with the idea of inserting this piece of wood in the bench's arm!? Amazed! After that I enjoyed the rest of my layover sitting on that marvelous bench while trying to talk with that Korean guy, lots of fun! I left there with a smile in my whole face. Thanks for your kindness and inspiration Jimmy, that's all that a fan hopes to find in an idol!
I love the wood in the ends of the arm rests. A very nice detail. I wouldn't have thought of that.
i love the shim under the front leg ... you couldn't anticipate that tweaked sidewalk !
I don't know whats more impressive ... your craftsmanship or the speed at which you do your builds.
You know sir Jimmy, your videos are a form of a relaxation therapy; way better than spa, massages or anything else. You simply put a viewer in zen mode.
It's a pleasure to view over again and again every single of your videos.
Signed, fan from Croatia
The trick at 6:14 blew my mind! I always learn something in your vids Jimmy! 😊
just make sure the shop floor is not wonky/crooked.
Kinda like how you put a blade at the edge of a book to cut the side of a soda can. Perfect height.
Hindsight - level the bench and mark the legs out on the sidewalk where the bench will sit. This will scribe the length of the legs to the walk surface. Then you won't need the shim under the left front leg. Nice job with the fab. I love the Ipe!
+Paul Copeland or just add levelers to the bottoms
Yep
Hey Jimmy. just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. your raw talent has taught me so many new techniques. thanks for uploading high quality videos! thanks for being a complete badass! keep up the great work brother!
Thank you brother! thank you!!!
jimmydiresta hey what are those spacers you used called?
Jimmy DiResta , my name is Rafael , I live in Brazil and I'm a fan of his work. you are the best. a big hug.
HUG thank you
9 a.m. in Germany: coffee, donut and a brand new DiResta video.
Best. Sunday. Ever.
Hey, I found this bench......
...........on the streets of New York!
Lol. Strange what kind of things people just leave on the sidewalk
These handcuffs? Found on the streets of New York.

Wouldn't mind 'finding' a bench like this! ;) haha
I got to sit on the bench last week (4/20/17). highlight of my trip to NYC
Woah, 3 years today bruh smoke up.
Only Diresta can make making a bench so interesting.
That end piece of wood at the arm rest and those steel corners without a repaint, a true Jimmy's piece.
Those wood endcaps are really cool. I like them a lot
JIMMY!!!! Love the build but I need to drop some knowledge on you.. When welding mig, push into the weld not pull like stick welding. Your welds should need so much grinding.. Ive been a welder for 33 years, enjoy!!! And keep up the good work!!
ill try it thank you
!
mig welding is so hard to learn.. I've done a bit of it this year in engi school and I didn't even get a correct result.. Guess welding is not for me :(
+Simon H if you believe, you can do it
nobody's born with knowledge
+Maurice-Mores guess I'll try harder next time :)
+Simon H best of luck!
I've put together a bookshelf from IKEA before. Always nice to see another pro on youtube.
I am Brazilian and watch your videos and you are the best constructor of things I 've seen
Love the look of mixing metal and wood. Great video as always
Thank you sir!!
Oh! It's like when The Fonz made an appearance on Lavern & Shirley!
Wow! That's super nice Jimmy!
How can someone dislike one of Jimmys videos? I don't get it. What's not to like. There obviously jealous of pure talent. Great work Jimmy!
Butt Butt Butt where Is the Band saw! O there it is! You are AWASOME! Big fan Jimmy!
Yes, I wondered if there is still enough room for more tools ;-)
Impressive as always Jimmy!
Thank you brother!
Looks really great! Definitely my favorite piece you've made!
really.
My mind exploded after watching like 10 of your vids.⚒🛠😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Pls make more😉
thank you !
Good for you Jimmy for setting that beautiful bench outside and being a generous person to let other people use and enjoy it.
i saw that shim at the end lol nice work!
jimmy, u ever try poopin in the shower and stompin it down the drain
what
the fuck, dude?
+Frogtac's Airsoft Sanctuary what im curious
tim funk That's one of the weirdest questions i've ever seen.
+Frogtac's Airsoft Sanctuary very convienent if ur already in the shower, try it some time
Sitting on the toilet at school for 10 minutes because a notification said you posted a new video... It was so worth it. I love your work
Не перестаю удивляться! Диреста,лучший!
What were the little black bits that you glued to the wood for? Spacers?
I'd guess to prevent wood squealing when rubbing against the steel.
Let the rain run through rather than pooling the gaps between the wood
And here I was thinking they were magnets to help place the wood slats, for marking for through holes.
Well, i guess i didn't watch it proper the first time. Those rubber pads went to the side walls of the wood slats. :)
I really need to learn welding
If I ever come to America this is the bench I would like to sit on and say hello. I´m happy whenever you upload a new video. Cheers Jimmy!
Jimmy my entire family is from up state New York, Binghamton/Johnson city, my dad had me watching hammered when I ws young, but I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me be inspired enough to make all the furniture in my apartment, minus a couch! Watching your bad ass videos every week drives my creativity! Thanks for all that you've done! Keep inspiring! Keep making people follow in your creative footsteps!
-Hayden
You should make a couch just to give me an excuse to make one myself! Or just make one and send it to me:)
Thank you !!!! Thank you !!!
Great saw! Which speed of rotation? 1200?...
Sometimes I'l make selfie on this bench...)))
We need to make this a thing... see how many we get. I'm thinking #direstabench Anyone who takes a picture on it tag it on twitter and instagram.
+Ryan Watlington ok I'm game where is it in NYC?
Какие люди ) Пила Evolution Rage 3S. Характеристики можно загуглить ;)
I've never done any metal work, but I want that Evolution saw...
Are you just going to leave that beauty on the streets? I've seen some UA-camr going around grabbing stuff.... :)
haha it will be waiting xo
Hey, that's a nice bench. Straight off the streets of New York :P
When your two favourite youtuber's talk in the comments 😱
you go and make some fun and exiting projects with epoxy your the best n the jop
That saw is a pile of shit. Don't. I'm sure you've noticed Jimmy hasn't used it since. I bought one and sold it two weeks later. Junk.
Top notch video! The small tips, the details of the wood end caps! The end where people are using it! The guy that sat down next to you without knowing you built this! Man it's almost magic! So inspirational Jimmy!
Elegant bench turned out. Most importantly she is no where to go. Like!
Where did you get the giant pair of handcuffs?
Check out his videos where he makes exquisite BDSM gear.
+2k1ppp I can't tell if you're being serious or not
those are leg shackles, you can buy them on Ebay
+God of Thunder (UKKONEN) wtf are they used for? (bdsm?)
they are Master Lock Street Cuffs, he should be using a better lock.
I guess if someone really wanted that bench they could unscrew those tapcons and take it...
That bench will hold up for eternity..
It always surprises me how many neat tricks you have to solve simple problems. Excellent as always!
push the puddle with mig, dont pull it
No check mark, obviously not DiResta.
dam! i forgot! ill get on it
making something cool for anyone and everyone to enjoy, very cool, very altruistic. Respect.
lasers, lcd screens, and bright light machines...what dreams are made of.
That guy had enough when his benchmate went into the hole.
Screw the handcuffs, i'll just unscrew the 4 screws and steal the bench.
Thats actually an easy fix, strip the screw heads, if Jimmy hasn't done it already.
how about chemical anchors with shear nuts?
tack weld the screws
Chain tool. Gone in
Love that simple little rubbing trick, and glad to see your reclaimed shears found a good home in the shop. Keep up the good work Jimmy.
as a fellow new yorker (long Island actually) I knew exactly what the eye bolt was for once you started welding it on. excellent work!
Nice bench, too bad you had to put it on a leash. People make me sad...
Omg, so much wrong about this build. First, u shouldnt have done that thing, everybody knows that. Also, u totally messed up that other thing. Do u even know the difference between steel and wood!?!
Anyways, I could do a way better job if I wanted too.
It would be cool if there was a channel where Diresta fans from all over the world who visit 'The Streets of New York' could post pics of themselves sitting on the bench. Extra kudos for those who tempt Jimmy out of his workshop to pose with them. Alas, I guess I won't be one of them.
Wow. I don't know why people gave it a thumbs down but. I really like the bench!!!!
Aren't you worried someone with the same last name might try to take your stuff? That's why I put my social security number on everything I own
That is really funny and pregnant with meaning - I mean WTF the name is sprayed on everything even the cans of wd40 are sprayed black and the name sprayed on them - do you think its narcissism.
I've heard its to prevent people from taking credit for clips put up on youtube.
Jimmy, you're incredibly talented! Thanks for sharing that talent. I know I've picked up many great ideas and learned new things from your work!
Todd! whats up? cant believe i found you on a diresta vid of all places!
Mike, how's it going? Long time no see! Are you still in T town?
+Todd Weller yes it has been quite a long time! yeah still in topeka, married with 2 kids now. hope all is well with you and the family, tell melody i said hi!
the GF needs to make some leather pillows/polsters and this bench will turn into a 100k designer piece! the bench looks amazing, imo, well done!
Like the look of capping the rec tubing with wood, nice touch!
I've enjoyed your work
I learn from you too much
I'm Khalid from Saudi Arabia
Middle east
The form of this bench is really nice. The simple palette of materials, really lets the form and craftsmanship standout. I like the little kick on the rear legs, and the RHS used as armrests. Nice one Jimmy.
Another landmark in the quest to try and figure out where Jimmy's workshop is :)
Dig it. Looks great outside the shop.
Jimmy makes everything look so easy
You are right about the angled seat, looks comfy!
That wood in the armrests is an awesome idea! Thanks
Being a machinist I've known about cold saws for years but I hadn't seen one that's a slider till this video. I got one from Amazon's warehouse for a $53 discount off the regular price; sweet! Thank you for such great videos.
Love the Evolution Chopsaw. So much better than an abrasive saw!!!
Right on, Adam!
Looks just like my HarborFreight www.harborfreight.com/12-in-double-bevel-sliding-compound-miter-saw-with-laser-guide-system-61969.html
No doubt they roll off the same assembly line. I'm happy with mine and I do cut aluminum with it clamped down and hiding behind something with only my hand exposed... c'mon its harborfreight.
I would love to turn down the RPMS and put one of these Rage Blades for some steel cutting. Anyone got an Idea on how to go about that?
It is always a pleasure to watch your videos for 15 min brake from work.
I am from Bulgaria - eastern Europe and i have to say that You (and a few of your Coleges if i am honest:) really inspired me to begin to do woodwork and DIY things.
Perfect bench BTW!
Thank You Jimmy Diresta
These videos are so relaxing to watch
Greetings from Turkey Jimmy
Every video I follow with great pleasure.
Usta you jimmy
Thank you. I want to focus on making more home furnishings used.
That looks like a nice place to sit and have a little DiResta.... Seriously that is a cool bench
Mr. Diresta you are inspiring, thanks for another wonderful video display of your art and skills.
I'm on a binge watch right now
Jimmy, your building methods are so rugged and abstract but at the same time they're so melodic and precise! Love the work man, keep it up! And your welds are getting much better!
WOW...Waaaay Cool! Jimmy Diresta, here is the Absolute Highest Compliment that I could pay you: You are the BRUCE LEE of Craftsmanship... :)
Just an incredibly creative master at work, much respect for DiReStA.
True inspiration to me.
Never stop sir , you rule !!
Not only are you a great builder, you are a great industrial designer as well! Keep up the good work
dude that's a beautiful bench. i personally would have painted the steel, but i can see the aesthetic appeal in the bare steel as well.
I wish I had two lives so in one of them I could be a bum and just hang out watching Jimmy Diresta build stuff.
So good. That is true craftsmanship.
Although i know nuts about the technical skills and tools you are using but I only can say.. you are awesome and I appreciate your videos..
This bench can now be found on the streets of New York... Beautiful work!
Just want to thank u for the video. Now am making one for my Home outside the only difference it will be for 3 to 4 people to sit on. Thanx! 👍🏼💯
Jimmy your awesome your videos take me into a whole new world. I learn so much and your creativity is second to none. Every video is an automatic thumbs up cause your cool man. I always wanna make something out of nothing when I watch your vidz. I hope all is good with you peace Jimmy.
IMO this is the best project I've seen you do. Very very nice.
I love the wood plugs vs steel end caps on the arms. I'll remember that!
What a great and beautiful power bench. It would be fun to follow the life on the bench. have a great sunday
jimmy this is fricking awesome, you are the best builder on UA-cam, and I mean it.
wow Jimmy now you have to cut a hole for the coffee cups, and a groove in the arm rest for the napper.....lol. Nice job.
It was kinda satisfying watching him
cutting the steel
video's like this one really improve my boring mood, they inspire me and teach me. thanks for the great content jimmy, you're definitely one of my favorite youtuber's.
That saw is BADASS!
great job, and very good project too, and perfect finish for the urban environment...
Lovely project and looks like that saw works great.
Really nice! Brilliant way of capping the armrest tubes as well!
Now I HAVE to stop by next time I'm in the city! Great Build!
Another awesome build!. I've been woodworking for 20+ yrs, but I'm getting the metalworking bug after watching all your videos. I might have to come over and sit on that bench after work on Monday..
If this were made in huge numbers, I'd buy 10 of them!
