    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    As a novice woodworker, one thing I love about videos like this is that so many different techniques can be shown so concisely that it makes it easier to see how they compliment one another. Thanks for teaching us a thing or two with your videos!

    Jimmy, you did it again.. You stunned me with your magic. I was wondering if Chris Rock ever seen your videos? Great job, Jimmy!!

    Appears so effortless, like water taking the shape of a glass, but when I try & make, multitudes of ugliness come at me & I struggle, but slowly with this kind of inspiration & learning by seeing I get better. Thank you for all you share.

  • @nicholasricchiuto8454
    @nicholasricchiuto8454 6 років тому

    I like your approach to making boxes Jimmy.
    You create the lid from the whole of the box, rather than making a separate lid.
    Its not only a simpler way to work, it's a more zen way to achieve a beautiful box. You then 'take the inside line' shim the inside of the box up and basically make the male piece that fits into the lid.
    I like how you are also 'tack welding' those small strips of wood with the CA glue. Small thin pieces, and staying square can be challenging.
    Thanks for all the tricks and great videos Jimmy.

  • @itaishemer
    @itaishemer 6 років тому +8

    Loved the way you jointed the pieces into a board. That gives the box a whole new level of beauty!

  • @T19OPH

  • @anthonylau3065

    Awesome build. Loved the use of leather as the binder.

  • @KeyWestMakers
    @KeyWestMakers 6 років тому +1

    Thanks for another great video Jimmy. I'm always inspired by your effective sanding methods - adhering sandpaper to a stationary or simple, custom-made hand-held form. As well as your practical ways for holding things in place for assembling, gluing, welding, etc. Been trying to incorporate some into my own (long ingrained) ways of working.

  • @davestrain1762
    @davestrain1762 6 років тому +3

    So Awesome! I love the start to finish something from nothing videos and combing in the CNC is fantastic!
    I use the same clamping system for cutting boards.

  • @aserta

    There was a time when you could get boards like those in one piece, but that time is long gone. Still have a few rescued from the fire.

  • @timberdish

  • @ThirdCoastCraftsman
    @ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 років тому +1

    Definitely like using all the strips to make the front and back pieces. Gives it a nice touch rather than a single wide board!

My wife is a nurse and has a cheap plastic clipboard she's been using for a little over a year now that is so cool something like that would be awesome for her imma have to do something about that. I love your videos and how you're so magical with those hands and whiteout tools!

  • @Khether0001
    @Khether0001 6 років тому

    _HEY DIRESTA! maybe in a case like this you could drill tiny holes close together through the leather and the wood and stitch it simulating leatherworking stitches, then gluing a strip of wood painted black on the inside of it so the holes don't affect the structural integrity of the box._
    this way the leather will never get loose!
    Love your videos so much, man!!!

    first off i gotta say the obligatory, big up Brooklyn.
    Second that is such a cool box and i love the use of rubber which makes it almost a hollow book; totally fitting for the purpose.
    Now, on to watch this again so i can drift off to the sounds of the shop like i usually do.

    Kickass! I was watching Matthias Wandel's video of when he made a grave marker for his father, and he spray painted the inside of the letters black (Tried burning but that didn't work). Then sanded/planed off the excess paint. Really made the engravings pop! I really think you should've tried that with this piece! The bridge and the letters would really stand out.

  • @joshwiley881

  • @jakegontesky7185
    @jakegontesky7185 Рік тому

    This is a stunning project -- just beautifully done. I replicated it a few years ago and encountered one small problem wherein the top panel (the lid) bowed a bit with the seasons, since the edges are glued to it in a way that does not account for seasonal movement. I want to make a couple more of these but would like to account for movement if possible. Any ideas on how I might be able to do that (without making the panel floating -- I don't want that look)? Thank you again for sharing this with us all.

  • @IanRobinsonGlobal
    @IanRobinsonGlobal 6 років тому

    Very cool way to clamp a long row of thin pieces.
    Here's an idea for a future project: Cover the top of the piece to be cut with CNC with painter tape. The CNC would cut the tape and you could use a dark stain or even a white stain to paint over the letters like a stencil. Then you could remove the tape and the CNC lines would be more dramatic as they would contrast more with the natural wood. I'm not sure if the CNC would cut the tape cleanly, but it might be worth an experiment.
    Anyways, great work as always. Your videos never cease to inspire.

    For glue ups like that some wax paper or butcher paper that is plastic lined works faster and cheaper than all that painters tape. I am way to frugal with the stuff as it is not the cheapest thing to use for certain things. Love the content of all the vids you post and is really pushing me to put out more of my own. Keep up the good work and the fun stories of your escapades with Taylor! She is a keeper for sure!!
