The author does like to ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Old sing hand here, I actually worked on the antique coke sign, circa 1943, and the craftsmanship was amazing as well as it had many of its original tubes and transformers, sadly i it got updated
*Sign 🙄
Breaks my heart, it will never be the same, I felt like an archeologist working on that thing before they redone it
This is too good.
Been watching Wesley for a long time and I always thought he was underrated - glad to see this collab and more exposure for Wesley great talents!!
Thanks! ❤
He's an underated maker on UA-cam.
Haha thanks!
@@WesleyTreat of course dude! You make cool shit and you're hilarious!
"Its murder on my arms", "yeah yeah you have a sequence for the lights. They're all gonna cascade?". Classic Tom Sawyer. Great job with the camera Jimmy. Lol
All I'm saying is.... Wesley would be a TREAT on the next Making Fun season. Hehe.
It’s always interesting for me to see the specialty tools that each craft develops. The copper rivets were cool and the plier jaws that were spring activated.
Great video and cool tools,
And this is why we all have so many different tools.
When those showed up I was like “wait hold on…whats THAT?”
Cleco rivets... used a lot in aviation.
You and Wesley are two of my favorite makers on UA-cam.
Wesley is one of my favorite Makers right now. His projects are amazing, his skill is obvious, and his videos are a lot of fun. I followed along this saga on IG and kept seeing it in the background of your projects. It was a lot of fun to see it come together here. I already watched his video, so it was cool to see it again from your perspective. Thanks for sharing!
Wesley really is fantastic. I've been subbed to his channel for a couple years, and I've learned so much just by watching him quietly work away. Even if you don't make signs, you learn a lot.
Thank you!
@@SomeUncomm He is a treat to watch.
Fantastic! Now to make miniature LED lit kits for sale. It really does look beautiful. Thanks for the great rust techniques.
Great build on both parts... Great job Jim and Wesley.
Thank you!
I'm a sign lover and I subbed to Wesley for sure after watching his build. True professional, thanks!
Amazing. I probably say it every video, but watching the PROCESS is so incredible. Beautiful job Wesley!
Don't forget JD welded some! Haha
Incredible! The aged look is absolutely amazing. When mounted, I bet that thing will be seen for miles. Very cool Wesley and Jimmy.
Thank you!
Amazing sign! I never would've thought of artificial rusting with just vinegar, peroxide, and salt.
Thanks! If you're working with steel, it rusts even faster if you heat it up first, then spray.
That’s just cool. I love old neon signs. Amazing how he made it look antique.
Thank you!
Looks so great and learned a lot I didn't know. Never saw those cleco rivets before...never knew how neon tubes were attached...never knew the fake rust trick. It's enjoyable to watch a true master craftsman work his particular craft. Spectacular work Wesley! 👍
CHEERS GUYS FROM NEW TOO OLD TO OUTSTANDING GREAT WORK , AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 20 23 .
Jimmy - I’m probably not alone in saying thanks for turning us on to Wesley. What an artist, craftsman and clearly very smart (and funny) guy. Love this collab.
Beautifully done with the most convincing aging. Love it.
Thanks! 👍👍
loved seeing how it was made. Big thanks to you both for sharing.
Wow! This is so great! Wesley and you are very inspiring. Thanks
This has to be one of the most amazing builds I've ever seen. What an incredible work of art, it give me chills! Thank you both for sharing this process. I feel so inspired!!
Happy New Year to you and all your cohorts. May 23 be a good year for Diresta Makes and a better year for the world🎉🎉🎉
I love it. The sign has a very vintage Vegas vibe.
Great addition to the shop and very interesting to see the ageing process! All the best for 2023 and can’t wait to see what your imagination brings us over the next 12 months! 🎉🤜✌️
Love you jimmy. Happy new year.
He did a great job, it looks awesome. 👍
Wesley is amazing, the first time I saw his videos I instantly thought you and him are very similar and he always teaches me something and makes me laugh!
Awesome sign...Wesley makes some cool stuff... great collaboration 👌
Great film. It captures the mastery of Wesley. The sign is huge but you conveyed the precision he puts into it. Great job on the frame build. That is a lot of cutting on that Milwaukee portable band saw. Mahalo for sharing! : )
This thing is so incredible in person!! Lots of great techniques in this video!
Excellent job. Really impressed with the rust look and paint peel effect. Happy New Year Jimmy!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Like building an airplane. Westley is very talented. So enjoyable watching how his great mind works.
Incredible!! Can’t wait to see it in person!
Happy New Year Jimmy! I hope your future is brighter!
Jimmy, you are the best professional for me. Regards.
WOW! That sign is over the top amazing! Terrific work Wesley & Jimmy! Have a very Happy New Year! Looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2023 Jimmy! 💥💥👍👍
That is a work of Art! This video should have a million views after one week!

Awesome Sign!
I wish you and your family and friends a Happy New Year.

Such a fabulous start for the New Year, adding a ambiance of can do & power to the lucky makers who get to enter your magical world of creation. Thank you for sharing!
Wow 🤩 what a skill that guy has amazing.
This is my favorite project that you’ve ever made Jimmy !
Is that going to stay in your shop ?
Thank you! We hope to hang it outside in the spring.
I was wondering about this sign when I saw it in the boat video. It looks awesome!
what an amazing sign, and cool collaboration! 😎👍
Awesome collaboration and education! Can’t wait to see it on the building. Really impressed with all the details.
What absolute craftsmanship, teamwork and skill! You both made something that looks wonderful 👍🙌👍
Absolutely beautiful work the finished product is quite amazing
Merry Christmas Jimmy!
Impressive. Great video. Happy new year!
Really enjoyed this project and both videos, I stumbled across Wes earlier this year and really enjoy his approach to his projects. He works on some interesting stuff and has a cool artistic flair.
Wesley is a genius and you two together is just magic
Very impressive work, looks great and old like the original neon signs.
Fantastic project - thanks for doing this collab and thumbs up!
Beautiful. I hope one day to be pass by your area, see your sign and come in to say hello and drink a beer together, Bellissimo lavoro, bravo come sempre
I love how, once the Cadillac had fulfilled its duty as a neon tube vault you knew it was time to let it go and move on to its next life. 🕊
Superbe travail d'équipe. Bravo et merci.
Watched them both loved the project.
Happy New Year Jimmy!
🎊🎉🎊🎈
Interesting! Always wanted to know what went into signs like that! Thanks to Wesley for sharing his talents! And for you for letting us watch!! Happy New Year!
Needed this! Needed to see how the rolling lights and the neon were wired, and needed to see how all the fabrication steps go together.
That looks amazing! Great to see what it takes to make a neon sign. Thank you so much to both of you for collaborating on this awesome build.
Fascinating and Wesley really is a master. Well done, gentlemen! Scott
I'm shamed to admit I haven't followed Wesley as closely as I probably should have. He is a next level craftsman. This is easily my favorite collaboration video. Excellent work gentlemen.
Wow... What a beautiful sign! 😯
Fantastic work, Jimmy and Wesley!!!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
Holy moly, great work Wes and Jimmy!! What a phenomenal sign 😍😍😍
So, incredible. What an EPIC build. Can't wait to see it in person! Way to go, Jim!
Watching the neon being bent and filled so cool, the guys that do it are slightly looney 🤣 must be all the heavy metal paints on the tube👌
Absolutely amazing.
Well done Wesley and Jimmy. I'm totally stealing the rust paint technique. Also it's nice to know I'm welcome....
This guy is so cool. Pretty sure I follow his channel. Epic sign!
Bravo! The video is super!
I just want to say thank guys like you and Wesley and so many others for showing people what can be done. You are so talented!
Wow Mr. Jimmy , what plans you must have !!!
God save America! Save the citizens of this great country!
Hapyy 2023 my dear one and only JD♥️
It is a beautiful sign. I watched Wesley's version first, I'm sure you won't mind. I enjoyed both takes. Happy New Year Big D!
Amazing and I was lucky to see the WIP and final product 🙌
That is cool as can be. Thanks for introducing me to another cool maker. I look forward to seeing it in it's final place.
