for a second i thought he was going to make the entire thing out of metal.
I thought that too, carving out all these pawns = ouch
+Ashish Patel I will admit though the whole thing out of metal would have looked awesome.
+Ashish Patel Yeah, would have loved to see a Brass vs Aluminum set or some made by Diresta. I've seen once a gold and silver cast set... on a very tiny chessboard...
I was slightly bummed when I realized he was making molds. Still, a very nice set of pieces. I'm sure there are none better.
+Ashish Patel Then I thought, oh, he'll cast them all from bronze or something.
About two years ago, I randomly came across one of Jimmy's videos on youtube. The mirror frame. I had nothing to do with woodworking or craftsmanship whatsoever and had never touched a power tool in my life. I was so inspired that I decided to give it a try, bought a jigsaw and started playing with recycled wood found in the streets.
I loved it so much I decided to work hard and try to make this my next job.
Before my 28th birthday next year I'll quit my job and try to start a little furniture business.
The little I know I've learned from his videos. The rest I'll figure out.
Thanks Jimmy for the inspiration and helping me figure out what I really wanted to do with my life.
Wow thank you for that!!
+jimmydiresta This is exactly what people can feel and want to do when they watch your videos! To me, it's more than a pleasure to watch your videos, it's an honour, really!
Merry Christmas Jim to you and tou your family, and all the best for 2016!!!
+nitsn like you jimmy inspire me a lot and i start like you a nez project in my life check out my videos :)))) thx a lot.
be patiente with me i m a noob woodworker :P
+nitsn I wish you good luck, man! You are great!
+nitsn Great story, thanks for sharing. +jimmydiresta also inspired me to at least start tinkering again, him and +Paul Sellers, the yin and yang of master craftsmen.
That knight is just beautiful. Awesome my friend.
+Clickspring THANK YOU brother!!! you and mr pete inspired me to use the indexer!! Mad love!!
+jummydiresta
+clickspring
so awsome that i see you two together here, awsome work you two do here on UA-cam
+jimmydiresta can you building an aluminium phonecase?i love your projects man, i love your laboratory!! I FUCKING LOVE HANDMADE INNOVATIONS!!! keep this cool work and stay heavy!!\m/
You know, you could've left some talent for the rest of us!
Seriously, you have got to be THE most talented person alive... your skills are extraordinary!
"How's he going to make the Knights?"
"oh."
Troll: Oh, yeah? Let's see you make a knight! You'll never be able to lathe a kni ...
... oh.
+WesleyTreat Score yourself 5 bonus points for the best comment.
Level up
I did 75% of it then hand the rest
Yes, clever, but "lathe" is a noun, not a verb. You MACHINE on a LATHE. Literacy. It's a good thing.
Acting so smart on the internet however you could not notice his comment is more than 2 years old.
Logic, awareness and perception. These are real priorities. ALWAYS.
Turning a round object on a metal lathe using the wheels? You must be an Etch-A-Sketch master.
Probably makes his own badass etch-a-sketch!
the carve of the knight is my favorite! so cool.
Dann that was so cool! You're killin it!
Thanks bro!!
+PictishPrince i was thinking the exact same thing. Wouldn't even blink at the cost.
+PictishPrince I was thinking brass and steel!
+Kyle Toth that chess game wasn't over you could've blocked
Kyle Toth u
I'm amazed a razor knife blade is capable of shaping metal like that.
It's brass, it's way softer than steel.
+Falutin Free Also, the blade looks hardened. I'm not an expert, though, so I can't be sure.
+pikachu1324 The metal that you are 'cutting' with simply needs to be harder than the metal being cut. Steel is harder than brass. Yeah, it was a creative tool idea, right?!
Wow, I cant believe you did all that in 14 minutes!
the video was time lapsed to make it faster.It probably took about 35 minutes
+Im In Your Closet I'm pretty sure they were joking, and doing this would take hours if not days.
+Yasmin Grasse you must be new to sarcasm but yes, you're probably correct.
+BlackHawk TV oh I get it now. the second thing was ALSO a joke. that is humorous.
londontrada hhu
Amazing craftsmanship as always, love the depth of field on the lathe shots and the touch of humor that's always brought with Dave around!
SPEECHLESS!! Simply the coolest turning I've ever seen!!
Clickspring and Diresta are two different things. You can see Jimmy is an artist, freehand work on the lathe. Clickspring is obviously a precision Engineer with good workshop processes, by the book.Both are mesmerising and Ive seen all their videos. Both are to be admired and respected.
This one was great! Awesome work Jimmy!!!
That is amazing! I love watching these videos and seeing all the creative things you make. Keep it up DiResta!
I'm baffled. Why does anyone give Jimmy a thumbs down? He's obviously an artist/master craftsman. Is it jealousy? Anger issues? What? Any guesses?
Giving Clickspring a run for his money. ;)
+Adam Melanin his bar is way high!!!! i can't reach it!!!
+jimmydiresta Keep practicing until you can limbo just under the bar!
+jimmydiresta hi please check out my video it wud be a Honor and subscribe Thanks
+Adam Melancon chess pieces are easy compared to a clock which has to be precise
+IIGrayfoxII You don't say.
This is my all time favorite video. It reminds me of the chisel video so I may be biased! Thanks for sharing!
This is what absolute mastery on a lathe looks like. Amazing video, awesome edit. Jimmy you're an inspiration.
Every time I watch one of Jimmy's videos I get mesmerized and don't realize that I just watched a 14 minute video!
white always moves first in chess... but i guess you knew that already...
+Dollar Bill Always, but not in real life.
+Dollar Bill touchdown, trollbait
+Dollar Bill
racist.
+Dollar Bill Basically it doesnt matter witch one moves first
about to post the same thing, assuming Jimmy is trolling, as he may say it, "chess nerds".
White moves first... Just sayin...
Does it matter
+David Waelder I read all the comment just to see Waelder on troll patrol. "So is your coffee if you drink it to fast" #gotem 😂😂😂
+themrnorwood Patroll heh
+themrnorwood it's annoying when people have to knit pick in a less than pleasant fashion- and this safety shit is important but my god man- I mean how the fuck did we ever discover what berries Not to eat... Being stupid is asking for doom - sure. Doing your best to consider safety while thinking fresh is how we got out of caves and walked upright- with collateral damage of course...gotta pay the troll toll I suppose.
+David Waelder artist and a poet eh? Can you dance too? That quote should be on the back of the registration card in every tool purchase.
Awesome set, Jimmy. What I like about this project in particular is that you've shown how a craftsman can take hold of an efficient means of production like casting. For a person trying to make a living with their art, this sort of thing is a hell of a boon. The fact that everything is produced in house maintains the artisanal aspect that people love about handmade and craftsman-made items. You're fun to watch but you're also an inspiration!
America's Master Maker does it again! Amazing build Jimmy. Thanks for sharing!
Being able to play a game of chess with Jimmy Diresta on this exceptional set was an honor and a joy. Thanks a ton, Jimmy D, you're an inspiration!!
+Dominic Del Principe Thank you brother was fun and educational !!
peace and love!
+Dominic Del Principe just saying whit did not at al Winn. it whas blacks turn to move after he got checkt and black culd easily block that move.
+96mikaell So?
+Dominic Del Principe So, you never actually were able to play a game of chess with Jimmy Diresta on that exceptional set. You just moved pieces around..
Yeah, you're right. We didn't play a game. We just moved the pieces around the board, according to the rules of chess. You're a sharp one, bud
Maybe Steve Ramsey still needs a chess set...
lol, am sure one of his viewers made and sent him a set a while ago
his viewers have, in small bits. It's in one of his mere minutes videos.
+Dave Starr With pocket joints!
If you see this Jimmy: Go and make steve Ramsey a christmas gift (ofc if you dont need the molds anymore)
i would love to see a set of chess with one clear half and the other half being dyed with some blueish kind of dye.
or a set that glows in the dark
or with black light
hte possibilitys are endless
+NearFall2Pin I thought it was other Woodworking UA-camrs who did it.
I was thinking like 'then where the hack is the chess board?' and you just painted your table and that was it!!!
So impressed with your creativeness!
Always enjoying your work!
This video is an incredible example of Jimmy's incredible badassery and raw skills.
Touchdown! Awesome vid!
I can't wait to see you make a chess clock now.
+Jairred Stephens Or maybe Bob wants to make one
Ok, the rest of us just need to go home now and take up golf or something...... Really enjoyed that one Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.
That Chess set turned out awesome and LOL the 2 moves check mate at the end was priceless. Thumbs up Jimmy you are a true artist.
Why didn't you use solid gold? It's much more malleable than brass... Imo just sayin
+David Waelder Exactly what I was thinking. If Jimmy ever wants to be a real Maker he needs to stop playing around.
that brass could been rubibish someone left there.
or it is store bought wich is much more likely
+David Waelder I expected Moon Rock carved chess pieces. : )
+David Waelder Well, time to clean up under the table saw again.
+G3RMANARMY from the recycle place i go to .. free
Dave was like the squirrel in the nyc video with the pigeons.
Hahahahaha!!!!
My favourite video of yours Jimmy! The skill is next level, and the lighting and shooting in this one is some of your best! Awesome project!
This is JUST AWESOME! Your so much talented Diresta!
Again I am amazed. All I want for X'mas is a Jimmy Diresta sticker, I swear I've been a good girl.😁
🎄☺️😉send a SASE to POBox 20270 NYC 10009
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MEEEEEE!!!😁😁😁😁😁😉
A diresta video, at 2:30am? Sure.
7:30am for me - perfect
The way it should be done... Awesome craftsmanship!
Simply amazing work that you can do!! Blown away!!
Wow!! Nice horse - a masterpiece for sure
It's a knight in chess.
+MTBVeggie Rich Depends on where you from, in germany e.g. it's called jumper or horse.
***** hmm fair enough then, did not know that.
+MTBVeggie Rich the knight is a horse
+sik59rt - Historically, no horses have ever been knighted. It's all fun and games until someone gets lanced through the eye... ;-)
i hope i can save up enough money for a metal lathe someday...
Truly gifted.
I have the utmost respect for the talent you display.
That was absolute art man. One of the coolest videos I've ever seen.
Awesome!!!!
👊🏼💥👊🏼💥
+Владислав Воронов
+100 ))))
+Владислав Воронов Кстати из металла то они по пизже были))) Смола - дешовенько смотрится
+Максим Целиков вообще думал, что металлические будут "белыми", а смола черными, а он вон как поступил
Just to let you know white moves first always
#BlackChessPeicesMatter
He's a proffesional carpenter,not Bobby Fischer.
M'aiq the liar He's not even Bobby Brady. That's kind of a basic part of the game. That would be like running to third base after hitting a pitch and saying, well, he' s not DiMaggio.
Rotwang72 My point is , he`s a carpenter . He doesn`t give a damn xD
wow,so racist.
This is the best christmass present from jimmy, making metal chess pieces! Awesome
amazing james... you are an artist!!! my respects
All that, and then black goes first... agghhhh!
and dont forget the touchdown
The knight kinda looks like a Moomin
Jimmy, this might be one of my favorite videos of yours. It was awesome to see what each step evolved into. Also that trick with the knife on the lathe was pretty cool, never seen that one before. Great job!
you guys are simply AWESOME artists! I'm glad to know your job!
i really wanted to read through all the comments so i didn't ask the same question but there are just so many so please forgive me if this has been asked.
why go through the trouble to make the metal (brass) pieces if your just going to make plastic molds?
wouldn't it be alot easier and cheaper to use wood or something easier to work with?
i only ask because i wanted to try some molding myself and just wondering ,also king of intimidating if i had to go with a metal master copy.
thanks
+James Delvechio i used brass bc the finish would be better than wood .. and i wanted more machine / mill lathe experience. only way to learn is to do. Thank You!
Cuz is one of a kind thing people like me want. It ain’t any chess peace it’s unique with the creators on creative thinking.
i am 3 mins in the video and started wondering how he is going to make the horse
you mean the knight?
Jimmy, I just wanted to say that I'm really happy that you've monetized your videos! I love your work and it's great that you're getting something back for all the hours of entertainment :)
You never cease to amaze man awesome stuff!!!!
This is a really awesome idea! Just curious, what's the pressure cooker-looking thing for? Does it add pressure or is it a vacuum?
+Ed McKenna Jr pressure eliminates (most) air bubbles.. Thank you !!
+jimmydiresta I know the guys here do the opposite and use a vaccum to get rid of bubbles but they have a clear perspex front on their vaccum chamber so they know when it has stopped bubbling that they will have the perfect mold cast. I like your method though too - less watching/monitoring required.
the mold material and the resin is muy expensiveo
Why not clay? or any other form of mold-able material like wax? were you more confident in this method? First watching i thought the whole set would be made the same way with metal... non the less it looks awesome, but a handmade set of chess pieces all made individual would be so good :o
great stuff though! :)
I think he chose brass for looks. In other words it would have taken lots more time for a complete metal set. Even though used for molds he still now has the brass pieces that look cool and he can keep on the shelf.
+Vixolent I might be wrong on this, but I suspect you could get more castings out of a brass master than a clay master.
+Vixolent I think Jimmy just likes playing with new tools. He just got the lathe and he talked about trying to improve his skills on it. No better way than making some small, intricate pieces. I could be wrong though.
+Bitterman Brewing THANK YOU! Now THAT sounds like the most reasonable answer. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why make originals in such a laborious manner only to cast the final pieces. I'd have made them out of clay, for God's sake!
I know this is an old video, so forgive me. Jimmy, you, my good man, are not only a skilled craftsman, but anyone that can freehand cut away the parts of brass round stock that are NOT a chess knight, with a bandsaw, is a true, world-class artist. My hat is off to you.
Once again Jimmy DiResta inspires the novice to achieve what was once thought to be impossible.
All this work to play the first move with black...
Jessie's Girl at 1:13
A joy to watch this process and your skill! Love the ending!
Outstanding workmanship, looks fantastic.
Nice Jimmy. Thanks for the constant inspiration to make things. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I already say it ... Your videos are like classic music or poetry! Your abilities, knowledge are amazing!
One of the best stuff to see..
Jimmy, you are so awesome to watch. Beautiful work as always.
Such hard work and patience !! Respect.
Jimmy you are an artist, very little people have the skill and patience to do what you do. And the rook (mind = blown) there is no words to describe how awesome that was to watch you do
Just amazing! Great work Jimmy!
Amazing talent! Whatever you touch comes out perfect, be it brass, wood, steel or leather or (I think) any other material that can be processed by hand. Another gorgeous art work from Mr. DiResta. Thank you for sharing the video!
I am always mesmerized by lathe work. When you put the gnurled shaft to the bandsaw it took me a moment and ....Whammo. With that project you won before you even started playing.
Half way through the video I realized my bottom jaw had dropped onto my desk in awe - your really amazing and thanks for sharing!
Dude, you can make absolutely anything. Unreal! Nice job.
WHOA! Them skills on the Horse! Simply awesome, as always!
I think this is your best work yet, Jimmy!
SWEET!! Those brass pieces are fricken' awesome. Thanks for the vid, gentlemen.
Man, you've outdone yourself with this one.
amazing every video i think what you are working on looks amazing yet by the videos end you have taken your project a step beyond. keep it up brother
Really awesome process Jimmy!
I at first thought you were going to hand craft every piece out of metal, but then sighed with relief when I discovered they were for molding. The pieces look great.
Consider this comment a sign of love and support:)
I've done some lathe work and is insane how you can freehand so accurately! You are a crazy mix between a craftsmen and an artist love your videos!
Epic work as always Jimmy!
Bravo Jimmy you are a master of art in rare form well done is there anything that you don't do well I really enjoy your videos have a merry Christmas
Absolutely amazing work, Jimmy!
That machined metal noise through headphones in the speedy up bits gives me the shivers haha
This reminds me of my days in metal shop in high school, especially the "knurling"! You should thank "Pops" for instilling the creativity and work ethic you have that has made you the artist you clearly are. I'm a big fan of your work and your family. Keep it up.
The way he carved that horse though...Jimmy is a savage! Phenomenal work, my friend!
Incredible, this is really amazing! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...
Thank you for sharing this video with your UA-cam fam Jimmy. Honestly I came to see how you did the horse. I left with excitement from getting to see how you made everything! Loved the ending. David was funny! -Brian
Jimmy u are one talented man just love watching your videos
You are a freak! You never cease to amaze me with your work!
Esse cara é sensacional. Ele é polivalente. Faz trabalhos incríveis. Produz artesanalmente coisas inimagináveis. Muito bom.
Nice job. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
damn man, you never cease to impress. was patiently waiting for the knight, you did not disappoint!
I real respect what you have done.... excellent !!!!
Awesome! One of your best videos so far 😀
Damn! Your skills are amazing. Love watching you do, what you do best. Your detail on everything. Geez. Need patient for something like this. Great work Jimmy. Merry christmas from norway!
You are so crazy talented. They broke the mold with you! Merry Christmas Jimmy DiResta. I hope you and everyone around you has an amazing Christmas/New Year holiday! ~S~
From my family to yours a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
