I thought maybe he’ll just get it started with the handsaw…. Then he did the whole cut and I thought that’s gotta be tiring, then the look on his face after he finished…. Priceless😂
I think one of the fascinating things about watching you work is, not only are you a highly skilled and experienced craftsman, but you are an artist as well. So watching you work, how you approach a project or challenge within a project is interesting because often I would not have thought of that solution or not even have approached the situation that way. Additionally, you are resourceful acquiring vast resources and tools dwarfing many other craftsmen's collections. This includes so many different types of tools and skills. Not just woodworking nor metal working nor leather working, blacksmithing etc,etc. I really look forward to your videos especially considering I am nearly a neighbor lol. God bless you sir.
I love that this was an opportunity for you to revisit a previous project on which you learnt how you would do things differently and was able to implement those changes. So many projects are a one-off and you don't always get to put to use the things you learn from it. Great work as always Jimmy, it looks awesome and it sounds like Derek agrees
Jimmy Freakin' Diresta folks! Just Amazing. I'm going to give you the highest complement in my arsenal. Your skills match my grandfather's. He was 83 when he died in 1981 and locals still talk about him almost with awe. The saying was, "if you break something take it to Whit. If he can't fix it, he'll make you a new one"! Thank you for sharing your talent with us and making me think about my grandfather.
That piece of firewood sat there for many years to be saved and re-purposed by you for a lasting treasure. What a fitting beginning to a new life. Another interesting and well documented project video!
Jimmy is the one friend people will like to have but everyone should be treated with the same respect thank you jimmy😂😂😂😂😂 the laughing emoji is my mark thanks jimmy
I make chests...sometimes for actual treasure, silver and gold coins and bars. I love being there in the moment when they're received...THAT is what I treasure.
Your first treasure chest video was one of my favorite early videos of yours and seeing how advanced your skills have become is so encouraging. I have been such a big fan of yours all these years on UA-cam. Thank you for all that you do for the community. Love the treasure chest.
This kind of video I like the most. A real Jimmy Diresta video making something from scrap a turning it in to a beautiful thing. Just something he finds on a street and creating a art piece from scrap. I found John and Jimmy on Discovery channel and following them after that. Keep doing this 👊🏻
Treasure within, treasure to watch, incorporating bits of the snooker table black smithing in the wrought iron work to make this epic chest of the ages. Thank you for sharing!
That's got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I wish I had that type of vision to see ordinary objects in such an incredible way. Really fantastic work.
I think Derek said everything I would have said, I liked that he added, "You're still my friend." Just brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Stay well, my friend. Love and Respect from North London UK.
What a cool project and awesome gift. So much talent, so many tools. I have to say I was surprised you didn't use the bandsaw to make the cut between the bottom and top half of the log at the start.
I'm always learning from you Jimmy. What a Great Chest -Loved it! ❤👍 Thank you for sharing. Also, I totally ❤ LOVED your Pool Table -I would be so apprehensive to tackle such an imposing Project. TTFN,J
Jimmy, I am blown away by this one. Truly. For one thing I don’t think one single measuring device was used, which is so awesome. The fact that it is one solid log, that you cut it with handsaw, the blacksmithing, the carving, the bending. Damn, this one really impressed me, especially for a project that, on the surface, is really not my cup of tea. And, my god, you could have knocked Derek over with a feather when he first saw it. 🥹❤️
Jimmy awesome job. Great project idea. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.
Beautiful project as always. I need to get a forge now... Just need to finish my dragknife that I started in the old-school blacksmithing course I took...
Whatever subject the video is about, i immediately give a like, even before watching 10sec of it, and i'm never disapointed Always great quality content, always wonderful craftsmanship tricks and tips, always gorgeous resulting product .... i love it 👌👍
Great job Jimmy! Glad to see you doing more blacksmithing! Some interesting techniques, really liked the plug welding of the handles on the side and the top of the welds looking like rivet heads. What I really found interesting was (at least in my opinion) you taking a sculptural approach to making it. Definitely a DiResta treasure chest!👏👏👏
Just listened to you talking about this one on the podcast! VERY cool! I felt like only I knew the secret as I started watching, and knew what the intended use was!
Espectacular trabajo maestro, ese cofre en si es el tesoro, gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia) 🔝👍🤓
www.makewithdiresta.com/ go get a plan and make stuff !!
Knowing the channel, I was 100% that it will be a bandsaw box, and THE MAN cuts it with a hand saw and hollows it with a chisel...
I was thinking the same dam thing. He is a beast.
I thought the same thing. I should have known better...
I thought maybe he’ll just get it started with the handsaw…. Then he did the whole cut and I thought that’s gotta be tiring, then the look on his face after he finished…. Priceless😂
My thoughts too, was astonished Jimmy took the handsaw.
I’ve attempted to make a cut like that I gave up shortly after starting.
I am glad Derick will still claim you as a friend! Well done
The chest is a treasure itself. Lots of cool techniques on display here. And the fact that it was a gift makes it even better. Thanks for sharing!
Not a gift.. highly unlikely he did that for free.. In fact I'll bet it cost.. THOUSANDS of dollars to make that
@@joshjohnson132He made it as a gift for a friend's daughter's wedding. Sometimes people do nice things for other people.
@@joshjohnson132it was for free. It’s a gift for my daughter
Tell me that being able to create isn't one of life's most wonderful blessings. What a wonderful gift for a friend!
Beautiful job Jimmy……what a talent you have.
LOVE these builds. And Derick's reaction at the end of seeing it, EPIC!
As you were sawing it in half, I was thinking, "Bloody hell, that looks exhausting" and then your face said the same thing 😂
So, the bandsaw Keith restored, is not yet.
@@tomahoks Getting closer, but that one is for sure big enough to cut a log.

Ayee! That's a good treasure, it is! Yarr!

This video reminded me how much I hate weddings…oh yeah, nice box😂
Man that thing is beautiful with lots of rustic charm
Considering where you got the log from it's truly a Deadman's Chest!! Looks good!

Absolutely fantastic Jimmy. This is very special to Derek, his wife and Samantha. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Every pirate that has ever lived would be proud to own this

Outstanding build, and the reception ending with the envelopes was priceless,thank you for your efforts
He could have saved so much effort w/ a good forstner bit.... He really did it w/ a chisel and hammer. 😮
Jimmy is the one friend people will like to have but everyone should be treated with the same respect thank you jimmy😂😂😂😂😂 the laughing emoji is my mark thanks jimmy

Filming the moment when the customer sees their project is what I am hoping to capitalize on.

Neat! Derick's reaction was awesome. What a beautiful work of art!
Talk about a Treasure Chest! That was an awesome build Jimmy! 👍👍👏👏🗃🗃
Most incredible work with hands that I have ever seen, and very inspirational.

The anvil getting way too close for my comfort to the edge of the table at 8:55. I’m like « Stop hitting it bruh !! » Jeez. 😂
Went back & watched the 1st Pirates Chest build , the 2 are worlds apart , but both are very classy !!! & brick outhouses !!!
Awesome Chest wow. What an incredible wedding gift too. Wow. Amazing.
I just received my DIRESTA Razor Blade, and what can I say??? I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! As always Jimmy......GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
I don't know who you made that for, but it will be a life-long treasure.
You don’t have to be a jerk
@@Curtis-Randallthat comment might’ve sounded a bit snarky but it was a pretty nice explanation honestly
Very helpful. Can you tell me where I can left click the mouse on my iPhone please?
Like all of Jimmy’s videos, watching him craft has given me so many small tips on everyday tasks that have clearly been developed over many years.
I think Derek said everything I would have said, I liked that he added, "You're still my friend." Just brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Stay well, my friend. Love and Respect from North London UK.
That is an awesome chest and definitely worthy of the treasure it will hold! Great work Jimmy
The groom texted me pictures of the chest the other day! Such an incredible gift, one they'll always treasure :)
You put your heart into the chest , that gift is priceless. Good Job Sir ! Thanks for allowing us to ride along .
What a cool project and awesome gift. So much talent, so many tools. I have to say I was surprised you didn't use the bandsaw to make the cut between the bottom and top half of the log at the start.
A whole dang log! I did not look close enough at the thumbnail! 😂
Beautiful job Jimmy 👏 😊
I liked the guy's reaction to the chest. What a great gift!
I'm always learning from you Jimmy. What a Great Chest -Loved it! ❤👍
Thank you for sharing.
Also, I totally ❤ LOVED your Pool Table -I would be so apprehensive to tackle such an imposing Project.

Beautiful my friend! Respect for using the hand saw and chisel.
The very first video of yours I saw was the first chest back on the Make channel. I can't believe it's been nine years!
Wow, super nice anvil!
Great blacksmithing.
Badass is absolutely the right word for this. Phenomenally badass.
Beautiful project as always.
I need to get a forge now... Just need to finish my dragknife that I started in the old-school blacksmithing course I took...
Best gift ever. I wish I had you as a friend in my wedding haha
Awesome you over delivered on this one. Great job jimmy. Congrats to Derek and his daughter and and son in law.
Jimmy nailed that one. Inspired!
Great to see the Rolly back in action. Old school Jimmy!! ❤🎉

Awesome piece Jimmy, you're the best there is!
Fantastic JOB Jimmy
Whatever subject the video is about, i immediately give a like, even before watching 10sec of it, and i'm never disapointed
Always great quality content, always wonderful craftsmanship tricks and tips, always gorgeous resulting product .... i love it 👌👍
Oh that welding assembly table is amazing a handy piece of kit
Just awesome Jimmy! Love it!!!
Such a wonderful chest and thoughtful gift, Jimmy. All my best to Taylor and You.
Aww, I was hoping to see Jimmy in a suit at the wedding.
Трудоёмкая работа. А главное с душой👍Отлично получилось!
Your friend looks like he could be David Picciuto's dad :D
Wow! Beautifully done!
That is a beautiful chest!!! Very well done, Sir :)
ERES UN GRAN ARTISTA AMIGO...GRACIAS POR TUS VIDEOS
This was Old School Diresta! That's why I loved it!
I’m blown away you cut the top off by hand. Your face said it all. 😮
Great job Jimmy! Glad to see you doing more blacksmithing! Some interesting techniques, really liked the plug welding of the handles on the side and the top of the welds looking like rivet heads.

2M. Yay. And an incredible chest. So much work.
Nice job Jimmy
Another work of art J.D...Very cool...
What a treasure Jimmy! The perfect wedding present!
Wonderful, Jimmy. I'm sure Derek's daughter will "treasure" it forever.
Good job mister Jimmy Diresta beautifully done
Great to see Derek again.
I miss his podcast.
Beautiful. What a cool gift.
Love the hook on that grinder. Another genius idea like the trash can lid. Lots of silent tips on this video
You're a good friend. What a reaction!
Dude, it is totally awesome! I honestly don't know how you come up with this stuff, but it is great ... keep it up!
Bruh! That was friggin incredible! Great work! I truly enjoyed watching you create! Great Work! Thanks!
Looks awesome Jimmy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Just listened to you talking about this one on the podcast! VERY cool! I felt like only I knew the secret as I started watching, and knew what the intended use was!
Brilliant work. When you picked the wood, did you intentionally select one with checking that suggests planks, or was that just a happy accident?
Espectacular trabajo maestro, ese cofre en si es el tesoro, gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia) 🔝👍🤓
Absolutely incredible! What a treat heirloom to have in the family!
Really awesome treasure chest, Jimmy! That's a pretty amazing wedding gift!
Thats an awesome build with some special meaning.
Beautiful work, well done!
I remember watching to chest original video years ago. inspired me to start doing things with my hands =)
Bellissima...jimmy Sempre il numero uno.... Saluti da Napoli
Always love watching you work, you’re a real treasure to the making community 😁
Hey... i used that chainsaw!!! It gave me a hernia and saw envy. Awesome project love seeing the tig welding we need more jimmy tig videos!!!
That's completely insane. Soooo good.
You the man Jimmy! Thank you so much for the awesome video!!
Watching that anvil creep over the side of the table had me on the edge of my seat.
With gifts like that, can I be your friend. That was awesome.
