You know you're badass when you're weaving a rope while wearing a Rolex.
or just boomer trash
Nice Jimmy! Now you should make another for inside the shop. The shop swing looked fun :)
Funny you say that bc after I posted a photo just After I made it... a photog friend asked if I can make one for a fashion shoot. I did. She will use for a day and I get back for the NYC shop !
+jimmydiresta it looks like you forgot something on the log
I want to imagine a beaver coming back to that tree and just freaking the fuck out.
Like, " HOW THE-, WHAT THE-. BLASPHEMY! MAGIC! HELL SPAWN TREE!"
You work with rope also? OK seriously....you aren't even a craftsman anymore. Your a full fledged wizard.
The best thing about this video is him braiding that rope! Wow, never seen that done before. please make a walk through tutorial on that.
it's called splicing
Damn beavers!
Can he braid my hair?
did you go back and get your hatchet?
I would've expected Jimmy to be a Stihl guy.
Is this DiRestas way of saying he's having a kid?
Make an iphone
si pudieran hacer unas alforjas para motosicleta los amigos de diResta se los voy a agradecer . son los mejores su taller es espectacular!! admiro todo lo que fabrican...un saludo desde xochimilco df mexico
Imagine the look on the beaver's face when it came back home and found a giant block missing from its log
I think I have gotten the DiResta disease.. Great Job, Jimmy.. Now how can I convince my boss to have one installed in my work..
Nice
Thanks, Jimmy! The world needs more tree swings!
Awesome! So simple yet so interesting and beautiful!
This video scores on so many levels for me. First, I like the idea of using materials that would otherwise would have been wasted. Second, I quite like the creative ways Jimmy uses his tools. (Not that anything here was particularly out of the ordinary.) On his own channel he repeatedly advises viewers to, "Never do anything with your tools that you see me do with mine." Third, the quick splice of the cordage by braiding the end back into the line, that was excellent! I saw my pop do that at a hardware store with the end of a length of steel cable and I remember thinking it was genius! Great video and a great trip down memory lane! Total thumbs up! Thanks Jimmy!
Thank you so much for the love and respect ! happy holidays !
jimmydiresta All the best to you and yours as well! May your Holiday season be full of everything you want and everyone with whom you wish to share it!
Ohh man, after all that work you had to rewrap the rope! You are the man!!! Love it! Do you have kids?
7:30 Barorecptor stimulation. Signals from the carotid baroreceptors are sent via the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX). Signals from the aortic baroreceptors travel through the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X)
This has to be the funniest Diresta Video I've ever seen. Seeing him on a swing swinging like a little girl, made my day.
Nice ropework, by the way. It's a dying art.
Plus, with his signature curmudgeony look on his face, made it pretty priceless.
lol, yep
Man, I wish I knew someone with a workshop.
+BananaMasterRace Become the one with the workshop, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
***** All you need is space, the tools are cheap as hell and mostly one time purchases
***** For 100 euros you can get all the hand tools you need, after that save up for power tools like a drill and jigsaw. Then get a drill press and circular saw
lolatmyage the space is a real problem for me though
BananaMasterRace Same here, Im lucky to have a basement larger than 1.2 by 2 meters (basically a bathroom stall) while living in an apartment building so I can at least do some things.
slicing the rope is a special attention to detail that Jimmy DiResta never skips! excellent job.
Jimmy had to get out of there quick after cutting up that half log. Anyone who spends much time outdoors knows that you don't want to piss off the Beavers.
+frogsoda Yeah beavers don't fuck around If they tear through trees like that.
Is that supposed to be a joke? If not, to anyone who really spends time outdoors, you should know that beavers rarely attack humans. I've been dealing with beavers on my land for 45 years and even when destroying their dams they've never approached me. The only ways you're going to get attacked is if you do something really stupid or you encounter a rabid one.
+Jim Garrison yes dipshit it was supposed to be a joke. Congratulations on figuring that out.
frogsoda chill out
+Steev Don My chill has a low tolerance for stupidity.
I have never been jealous of, well anything really but a beaver pond in your back yard how cool is that. thanks for sharing.
I did not think a city guy like you would know how to splice a rope. Thought it was a lost skill except for sailors. Love your creativity and thank you for sharing.
Thank you, there is lots you don't know about this city boy! more to come. Thank you for your support and kind words in many comments!!
salıncak altında tahta DIRESTA yazması akılca tebrik ediyorum
Great swing...but can you hot tub California style in New York?...hummmmmm? Always enjoy your video's my friend!!
BEAVERS! how cool. I could swap a wombat for one. Amazed at the size of trees they fell. I'm sort of; not really looking forward to see you spending 10 hours French polishing a work then accidentally throwing your knife into it.
Right on, Jimmy. Back splices, half hitches...Someone knows his knots. ;) Looks like fun. I've got my grandfather's brace and bit. You cant beat old-school sometimes.
Great job as always . Tree swing didn't expect much from that title but you surprised me once again. Oh by the way +jimmydiresta the trunk you left behind, with the piece you cut off i think it would been great for a swing with sides I__I
Damn Jimmy. You know the secret ways of rope braiding. I think you might just be the master of all things natural. Glad you didn't swing all the way over! You will go inside out if you do.
You have quite a few videos and your stuff is awesome and your very skilled. You have some land there and I think I saw at least 1 trial camera. Do you hunt? It would be awesome to see some design and fabrication videos of tree stands, feeders, etc. I've tried coming up with clever ideas but nothing like your capable of. Thanks man!
One of the first projects I made as a boyat about 4 years old with my grandfather teaching me how to weave hemp rope for our rope swing. Ball game on the radio making a monkey knot at the base to grabrb so he and my father could whip us high into the air over the hill. Thanks for bringing up a great memory we had a single rope and a disk though not a log to laconic for an ADD kid.
Why you shouldn't do this
1 you are cutting down trees (we have enough to of that for papers)
2 their could be termites
3 who has the time
4 what is you live in the city. You can't do out side with a ax and cut a tree without someone noticing you (or not near Forrest)
That's why you shouldn't do this
I think Jimmy goes shooting out there in the back. Plinkin'. Tin cans and such. Excellent.
Ever thought about getting a chain saw mill? You could mill your own lumber for projects?
if you use crazy glue on the ends of the rope, it makes it a lot easier to splice! almost makes a crazy glue needle. The ends get trimmed anyway. then white glue (or maybe wood glue) rubbed over the splice will keep it all nicey nicey.
Good morning diresta. Good morning Jimmy sir. Today I look a dream, this is space dream. My first space code (itani shakti hame dena data ki man ka bisvash kam ho na ham chale nek raste pe gam se bhool ke bhi koi bhool ho na, in the utter pradesh, Amethi city, India) nice zhoola. Have a nice day sir.30may 2018.08:59time.
Jimmy, where did you learn to tie rope knots? That is something I've always wanted to learn how to do.
Cool stuff Jimmy. Somehow you are morphing into Johnny Knoxville this winter.
How sad is the beggining of the video :( global warming is real
Looks like with all the safety nerds and jealous noobs, there is a sever case of penis envy. Been watching all the videos, and all a normal person could be mad about is that Jimmy has a CNC router, and us normal folks cant afford one for what is really a hobby -not a PAID PRO like Jimmy.
In closing, just admit he's better than you, and gets paid for it.
hahah Thank you brother!
Just a grown man enjoying his swing
Jimmy, God must really like you. You are very inteligent. All this property is where you live?
I wonder, can you simply go to the forest and get the wood from it? Where I live you are not allowed to do it without special permission :(
this is super cool!!Been wanting to make one for my son, but we don't have big enough tree branch at our yard
great shots Jimmy. I wished speed would slow for the rope weave ands then it did! Love it!
I'm disappointed, Jimmy, that you don't have a home-made hot tub!
Love the use of the auger and how you spliced the rope. What was the knife that you used to work the rope? Looks like a handy tool to have.
Jimmys Videos & Projects Get Better & Better All The Time...........!
Thanks Jim
How the fuck did he convert the loop over the branch into two knots securing both sides of the swing
Man, two awesome workshops, you're a lucky man Jimmy hahaha. Always cool to see more stuff. Keep em coming!
"We can't go back now, this is beaver country!"
Look ma no hands ! You've got a Hunter S. Thompson vibe about you .
I wanted to make a swing like that too, but all our big trees got destroyed during storms.
jimmy tatoos his wife's butt "DIRESTA"
Looks like DiResta entered his happy place. Awesome project. Love the splicing.
+2,000 points for manually drilling the holes.
This is just awesome! What you did with the rope ends... Bravo!
Concerning safety I don't think TheMontanaDave knows who Jimmy is :) Ocasionally not safe is just the way he goes. But this is no excuse for such a language, we are all civilised and can comunicate normally. Right?
Althow I would use hearing protection. And tighten the chain (it looks quite loose on 1:51)
Thank you. if you use a chain saw maybe you know that you keep you tool near by, i tension the chain often. as you can plainly see i just finished a task, that could at times losen the the chain: simply using it.
I just knew you weren't going to put your signature label right on the top of the seat.
I made it also. Want to know how ? just go to woodprix webpage.
Jimmy, where were you working when you built the benches out of plywood, i believe you were in a huge shop, but it looked like some of your tools were there?
bulleit bourbon distillery louisvill ky
You can use woodprix instructions to build it in the cheapest way.
Just a question did you pick up your hatchet when you left the area?
I agree the rope reweaving is just cool. Fun project.
Did you help film The evil dead movie . Just kidding .
Help!!! I can't stop watching this videos!!!
Where's the white DIRESTA chainsaw? ;)
Great work as always!
I had a question for you Jimmy, I see you used a manual drills and i have noticed before that sometime you like to use manual tools, is there a reason behind this? As in do you do it because you like to challenge yourself and not use power tools or do you feel you get better results using non powered tool?
Would love to hear your take on that topic as well and show case what you have manual vs powered and the results you get with each.
Love you channel, wish you had a nice 30min TV show like New Yankee Workshop. educational and entertaining!!
thank you ! just for fun and variety !!
I can just see someone trying to hit the hot tub from the swing. Nice job.
Am I the only one that that noticed he is wearing a Rolex during all this
"look mommy, No hands" lol
Great work Jimmy!!
Good job jimmy but you chainsaw chain is a bit loose
Coolest dude hands down.
dear jimmy, u r awesome. life should enjoy like u do....
Great video! Subscribed. I never knew that ropes could be intertwined like that, Ill have to try it! You are a genius man, I get there is very few things you cannot do. Ignore anyone who criticizes tools or methodology. I wish I knew you. How many hours upstate is this area from NYC? Ny friend has a place thats 6 hours up on 20 acres and his wife owned the 150 acres adjacent it it and they combined it. Its incredible that so much land is available, but you need to maintain it and keeping things like knives and guns is a good idea in case of wild animals like bears or whatever.
I know this intertwine as a molly hogan, the same can be done with wire rope.
In sailing terms what you are describing is a Loose Eye Splice, loose because there is nothing reinforcing the eye such as a Thimble.
What size diameter rope are you using? Looks great!
7:30 this is an example of what's referred to as the money shot class.
Having kids in that age... This swing is abit heavy and painfull to get in the face, when swinging back. Kids take turn, waiting behind. Often impatient, they can go to the swing before it has stopped. I can see this heavy half-log hitting the face/mouth/teeth.
Actually the round base might make it safer than the hard edges of the metal swings we used as kids. First thing I thought of was how lonely the swing seems, and how much better it would be as a pair with him swinging next to his honey. ;-)
I thought you lived out in NYC? Is this a vacation home?
Nice energy... u best direstaaaaa! I know your work is artistic but maybe u should try to make art, something really visual... like sculpture or installation or whatever :D
+dominik mestrovic I would like a wood or granite sculpture from him
the the rope braiding is worth the like!
The chain saw in fast speed is hilarious sounding
I believe I watched him chop this down on his channel
Damn that chain is dull.
it is not. i was cutting slo, and the blade is brand-new. funny how many chainsaw nerds think they know exactly the condition of my chainsaw by looking at a speeded up video. ??
*****
Both are acceptable - try looking something up before point out someone's supposed "error" grammarist.com/usage/sped-speeded/
WAIT ! what is happening at 6:57, how did you do that?
This made me smile, DiResta on a rope swing :D
Dude can swing without hands. What a legend.
And Marlinspike chops, too.
it is sooooooooooo hard to cut a log, drill 4 holes and connect the rope
Très fort très jolie surtout la magnere de nouer la corde merci et à bientôt.
only wood and spraypaint is used for that!
as always top work. How much land do you own?
People who pressed dislike are just haters
Ouch, that chainsaw chain is so dull it hurts to watch!
just 3 words "friday the 13th"
what is the diameter of the workshop?
So want to be there. Beavers and nature and creating and craftsmanship and ZOMG I THINK IMMA ESSPLODE!
thoese look like bogs boots i wear the same pair
That a nice piece of land you got there.
