For my latest woodworking project, I decided to build a wood (IPE) case for my Starrett Dial Caliper! To keep the caliper in good working order, it is important to keep dust and debris off of the long rack gear in the caliper. I always keep my Starrett tools in their original boxes, but to go along with the heirloom quality of the tools, I wanted a create this wooden box to match this particular tool, since I use it all of the time. I didn't want to use magnets for this woodworking project because it attracts metal dust, exactly what I want to keep away from the caliper. That being said, I would have to guess that no one will read this, and the first magnet comment will get pined to the top - enjoy this project build!

Few facts: 1-I avoided magnets to avoid metal dust in MY personal shop. More than wood here. 2- i used epoxy to keep the build moving along. Five minute epoxy. Not 20 hour PVA. 3- the top is not warped. It is touching the bubble on the dial. I took off too much material flattening the wood that surrounds the caliper I did make a dimple in the top after the video. Also the reason for no felt. 4-this is not a sponsored video. 5- the giveaway is not mandatory if it gets you upset ignore it.
6- thank you for the love and support over the last 9 years ✊🏻
Starrett deserves a case like this. Should have flocked the inside though. Green.
Regarding #1, I used tiny rare earth magnets to keep my caliper box closed. A case of personal choice. Nice video.
Omg, the people that get upset at other people's contribution to the collective good will never cease to infuriate me. I know I don't have to tell ya, but keep doing you, Jimmy. Never have to explain nor defend yourself to those of us who love ya.
The upset folks may be as soft as the felt you didn’t need. Thank you Jimmy D. For the project using hand/power/automated tools from your shop. I don’t have them all but appreciate the examples so I might do the automated parts by hand some day or just appreciate the advancement as I’m not in production more than a one a one off.
I read it, Jimmy. lol
No need to tell me twice.
(Honestly, I was just curious about the wood type. But I read your descriptions more often than most since you rarely speak in-video and I'm always curious for more information.)
goshdangit now i need as laser cutter. beautiful work Jimmy!
Nothing your CNC couldn't do ;)
@@Nailuj420 doing this with the maho is like hunting rabbits with a bazooka, it works but a bit overkill
ToT my hero 😄
It is just an excuse to buy something else, lol.
This smells like a new project. Maybe a combination of your old router with a pimped up laser pointer?
I mean come on!!!! Jimmy always makes things so accessible. I thought ‘yeh nobody could do this without a CNC’ then he just traces around the object cut the bottom off and bandsaws the insert. Amazing. So inspirational.
I want to make boxes like these for all our tools! Great work as usual, Jimmy!
I'd love to see what you could come up with!
Sir I have been watching you for the past 5 years. I love learning different approaches and new techniques, btw the content is one of my favorite on YT
Hats off for the 5:55 This Old Tony cameo ahahah
I didn't spot that!
This Old Tony was a Secret Santa to Colin Furze.

Start @ 5 minutes, 56 seconds.
Just watched the videos back-to-back, that's why I catched it
Here's that part of his video: ua-cam.com/video/f9qN9LIChh4/v-deo.html
I saw the thumbnail and thought, he’s really getting into his CNC. Then I wondered if he still uses the bandsaw like he used to for quick stuff. Then I watched the video 👍🏻
The dark wood match with the Lazer cut, it's a beautiful final touch.
I was wondering how the top and bottom would join together, i really like the rabbet technique you used. You made a beautiful box my friend.
The wood is just such a beautiful color. Who couldn't like that? Well done.
Sometimes you just want to make nice things for your nice things am I right? Well done.
Starrett should be paying you! Beautiful Craftsmanship👍👍👍
That was clever using the bandsaw for that cut-out - sweet build, nice caliper!
Thanks Mr. DiResta for sharing your time and talents! Your a original.
A tool that nice deserves a box that nice.
Very nice! I liked that you made it without using a CNC router. Thanks for sharing!
Everyone seems to have differing opinions on how you made/finished the box for the Starrett Calipers. Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship with us.
Proper woodworking, lovely. Great colour scheme, too. Idiots would use magnets for the lid, forgetting that they attract metal dust, exactly what you’d want to keep away from a tool like this.
(People will read the description on this one because they’ll want to know what type of wood it is)
Watch it 3 times in a row and learned 10 times the knowledge I had before. Stay well Taylor , Willie , 2 and 4 legged animals and you my brother
The bandsaw moves at 3 minutes reminded me of that video you made explaining about acquiring your dad's moves. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
Your assembly table flexes so much. You make amazing things for using a sponge as a work surface.
Beautiful project! You’re an inspiration. Whether it’s a “free” video, sponsored video, every time I pull out my DiResta ice pick or reciting “if it looks straight it is straight” every time I pass by your poster hanging on my wall. The value and inspiration you pass on through your videos and supporting content for me far out weighs what products I’ve purchased to support your efforts. Thank you for sharing, growing and continuing to inspire in-spite of the baby trolls.
I worked for an old guy one time who deserves something this nice.
Love these builds. As a tool lover and not a great maker these r the projects I cut my teeth on learning. Thanks heaps jimmy keep these quick simple builds coming, can watch this stuff for hours.
Fits like a glove and looks great! Simple, elegant, and functional. Thanks for sharing!
Simple, but classy. Looks great.
Stunning workmanship, fit and finish. I have no idea why I’ve never thought of it before, but 8:02 temporary clearance plate is genius. So simple. That’s why you’re the best mate. 👏🇦🇺
It would be nice if the precision tool manufacturers would see this video and realize that the tools they make need to be in something this nice.
At first I thought: OK, another CNC build. But then you did cut it with the bandsaw and a reglue. I really dig that. And also that inlayed strip for the lip of the lid.
Regards,
Etna.
If it makes it any better....I ALWAYS read the description of the product getting made. Because there's always a story behind why something is being done or build in a certain manner or purpose.
FOR SOME PEOPLE, SIMPLE ISN'T ENOUGH... THANKS FOR SHARING JIMMY
Wow beautiful case!!! You are a master with the bandsaw!!!
كل ما تقدمه يدل على براعتك في عملك اتمنى لك التوفيق 🌹
Very nice Jimmy - great to see something like that cut out the old-school way instead of with a CNC.
“Jeez Jimmy. I’ve only been woodworking for like three and a half seconds! How come I don’t have all the skills and tools like you?”
Translation:
Another great project Jimmy!! Thank you for sharing your craft with us mere mortals!!!!
I love the TOT playing on your phone in the background...
Brass Barrel Hinges would be a classy addition. Love this.
No magnets, no problem. Beautiful box.
I love the zero clearance saw insert on the fly.
Man the way your able to take so many different avenues in order to make what’s in your head come to life is astonishing. Love ya brother👊🏻💚
Gone are the days when tools were sold in such beautiful looking cases.
Box video - everyone loves a box video
A thing of beauty. The calipers' nice too
Man....when that finish went on, ugh that wood looks stunning 👏🏾 love your videos!
In the good old days they would have come from the factory in a case like that.
Exactly. Back when you could figure out exactly how something worked by taking it apart with a socket set and a couple of screw drivers. I'd say it was so you could easily access anything if you needed to fix it, but back in those days things were built to last. I sound old. Get off my lawn!
@@BoomerKeith1 I am old, remember everything you said, agree with it and back up “Get off my lawn” with a shotgun. 😂
I have one at work that did.
Having been a viewer of Mr Diresta since his ‘Gattar’ video. So glad he’s doing what he loves and making not just financial gain but bringing some tips and sharing his life long learnt skills to many. Thanks for everything Jimmy
Thank You 🙏🏼
I am happy when I see an alert from your channel. Your work is very beautiful and I would like to learn from you🇮🇶🇺🇸
Thanks Jimmy. I looked at my plastic factory case and now I want to create one like this. Beautiful work!
man ❗️that’s quite a disc sander you have there.
nice job on the case.
I "read" it. I understand what you are doing. You are an awesome craftsman. You make it look so easy.
Today with Jimmy, we lovingly subvert everyone's expectations and also manage to create a beautiful pile of shavings.
I do believe that that goes in the safe. Good job.
You have so many tools that the trolls can complain about. Thank you for using many of them :)
Great job as always!!
Jimmy sometimes when I'm watching your new videos, I'm imagining you're in the Lower East Side shop, and I'm trying to think of where the particular tool is in the shop. Now you have a grand new place! we're all happy to see it
I read what you wrote about the build and you are right about not using magnets because they will collect and attract metal chips. Great build as always
The "ultimate zero clearance insert at 7:51was an incredible teaching moment. Not only will I use it for woodworking but for cutting wood for my big RC airplanes as well. I guess that's still a form of woodworking; just more delicate. Thanks!
Like the finish. If you don’t want to buy a laser but you any a custom top call up a local sign shop and order a stencil, we make them frequently for a nearby painter
When you initially showed this box on Instagram, I would have never guessed this was how it was made. So cool... so many techniques. Loved this.
50 years later Jimmy's grandkids will be posting this on r/machinist, who can identify this case? Seems like it was made by Starrett but I can't find it in the catalog.
And one of us who is still around and half senile will make a snide, sarcastic, troll of a reply along the lines of "Nice case, shame Starrett never had those kind of standards".
It’s always nice to make a customized tool box for high end precision instruments like a Starrett. Nice job. I’d have been really tempted to add some magnets to the lid and box.
You make the bandsaw look so easy! Love watching you work
Always a pleasure watching your jobs, keep up the good work.
the best thing can happend to me this 2020 is won a those great knife.... fingers cross. Grettings from Venezuela
I want that disk sander so bad. Jimmy give that away in a contest next lol.
Great job on the case. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Love it. I'm inspired to do similar things. Greetings from Athol, MA, USA, home of L. S. Starrett
I’ve made a few projects from ipe leftover from my deck. It is a fun wood to work with. You are one of the few channels that works with it. It is such a substantial wood that it is gratifying working with it.
How did Jimmy know under that old junk piece of wood was a beautiful grain? Always amaze me and never disappoint. A+
Beautiful box Jimmy Piece of Art.
Jimmy, always great to find your vids again. Truly an inspiration for those of us still working for the man.. :) The simple construction method of the box is illuminating. Thanks for sharing!
nice work. I love the way you did the lid.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Starrett products, including there boxes are legit, and this one certainly lives up to there product! Great job!
Sweet little project, Jimmy. I just invested in a small Laser and am excited to give your project a try. Thanks for the years of inspiration. Cheers.
My calipers never go into their case. Very well worn.
When I had my lathe I had a number of tools that came in wood boxes. beautiful workmanship and care.
I would wager Jimmy has at least 8 other calipers that never go in a case, either. You make a case like this for your nicest and most redundant one. :)
what a nice project and what a set of hands
One of those tools I use SO often, I never put it away. Always within reach.
One of the only tools I make sure to put away every time, so it’s not dirty or (shutters) bent.
@@Fordallas Never said, throw it on the floor and hope for the best.
@@Fordallas I have at least five or six of various kinds laying around. My goto set is some Mahr digitals, but I also have a number of vintage mechanical ones around machinery. For precision (well, for calipers), I have a set of B&Ss that I swear by - they live in a wooden case. That way, you always keep the good ones pristine.
I wonder how many of us have a 12 inch/300mm caliper whether dial or digital? I suspect that most of us that do, still have aging Vernier in that sort of size.
@@TrevorDennis100 I only have a personal 8 inch digital... Micrometers, though, I have to 12 inch😯
My employer though, had Verniers to 40 inch..
I thought this was going to be a CNC project. Boy was I wrong. Love the mix of high and low tech. Great job Jimmy!
I have a similar build with felt and neodymium magnets that have a gap to reduce the grab. Beautiful!
That freaking discsander is bad ass man!
Beautiful. Great way to make a presentation box.
Love this fella's work...
Always top class. You can't beat DiResta Built items.
Well done, Jimbo.
That disk sander rocks👍
Just lovely work Jimmy! Really inspiring!
Ooh, Ipe can be something else to work with! Nice job, looks gorgeous!
I dunno about magnets, but felt? Might be easy to add in later on, I guess. I loved this project. That wood is lovely! [chef kiss]
I made a box today. It was for an aquarium to sit on. The critter is a bearded dragon, pretty cool.
Go make something, people!
really nice work, Jimmy. It is a big improvement over what they usually come in. I constantly learn new techniques watching you work.
As always, your work is very good. I've been following you for years. It'd be a dream to work for you! Greetings from Italy✌🏻
Man the craftsmanship is awesome good job
Thanks Jimmy, your videos always add to nice Sundays. Have a great New Year! 🌲🌲🌲
When I first clicked on this jawn I was like OOKKAY where making a small box 🤔 but the he starts puttn in that work. Then I was like I can't believe I'm picking up some new tricks 👍🏾 and just went into a sort of hypnotized stupor. Thanks OG you the reason I was inspired to start woodworking.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I love it.
You make it look so easy!
Thanks for sharing
Well I'm sure I'm not the first to say magnet, but I read the descriptions ☺️ beautiful box Jimmy 👍👍
Really amazing, I agree it could use some felt for both decorative and functional use, but still stunning in its current state!
Well done Jimmy. I love my Starrett Tools
Great gift for Christmas or birthday or something like that
very beautiful, inspiring project
I think old L.S. Starrett would be proud to have one of his tools in a case like that!
Back to basics always. Nice.
