  • In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy turns a pile of ancient 3x4s into a coffee table for a friend.
    For more info on this video, tools, materials, sketchbook images, and Jimmy's notes on the build, check out this post on MAKE: makezine.com/20...

      dingguhlbary He lines up the board then sprays through the holes he already cut to mark where he needs to put the holes on the next board. It helps keep everything lined up

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    This is the video that changed my life, just a few years ago I was a mare painter, I have invested money, time countless hours, trial and error. But today although there's wayyyy to much of a road to go still, I'm working as a carpenter's apprentice, and earning more money than when I was a painter! Thanks Jimmy, you have made a positive change in someone's life

    Those old nail pullers are awesome. I got a little week in the knees every time I saw sparks fly lol! I could never afford to tear up a blade like that. My heart sinks when I see it come from my saw!

    I'm scrap guy. Just threw off lenghts of all-thread, same size and everything, a couple weeks ago. I was like "hmmm, if I save these I'll NEVER use them." ! So I did keep a couple just in case, now I have some ideas of wht to do. Thanks for the inspiration man, your stuff is SO wonderful.

  • @breaux2806
    @breaux2806 9 років тому

    I was looking for ideas for reclaimed wood and first thought I had was, "I'm sure I can find a video of Jimmy making a table or something out of it." I was not disappointed.

    ACK! NAILS! Those old posts would make a heck of a bench top. I knew an old Polish guy who was a super in Washington Heights who used old pallets to make wainscoting and trim in his basement apartment. It was magnificent.

    Just made a 39" tall version using 4X4. The circles (center of tree) in the end of the wood really made it look beautiful. I hit the thing with my fathers acetylene torch and it really brought out all of the grains and circles in the wood. Thank you so much for the idea. I just wish i could get what you think of the piece, i am loving your work.

  • @JDeWittDIY

    Ouch, got some sparks on some of the chop saw cuts. A handheld metal detector helps save saw blades when working with reclaimed wood.

    • @TomsLife9
      @TomsLife9 9 років тому +1

      J DeWitt that's actually a great idea, i was scratching my head trying to think of a solution for that. or maybe just cut slow so the carbide in the blade can slowly gnaw away at the nail instead of cutting quickly which might run the risk of cracking a tooth off the blade

    • @chaoticlogic588
      @chaoticlogic588 9 років тому +1

      J DeWitt Some of the more corroded nails tend to break off inside the material, therefore even with a metal detector it's difficult to extract without damaging the lumber. Sometimes it's faster just to use an older "sacrificial" blade.

    • @lass-inangeles7564

  • @mrsillywalk
    @mrsillywalk 11 років тому

    I love this lack of fussiness. No glue either. I can see sparks fly, but there are blades which are specially made to cut nails and not damage the teeth. I worked in one place and all we made was from recycled timber.We had to be totally nail free, so we used a metal detector.Can i ask what that metal saw was as i have never seen anything like it before? A great minimal build.

  • @farahdeeba1986
    @farahdeeba1986 11 років тому

    it was not spray paint it was a spray the makes the wood softer to make it easy to drill into. and melting the metal made it a bit softer and allows the metal to fill in all gaps between the nuts so that they never get loose, and over time as it cools the metal freezes into the gaps. Hope this helped.

    HMM that's what I'm talking bout. my favorite part would have been the Sanding! For me I would have sanded down more to bring out more of grain, less rustic. Maybe clear stain, or light cherry or pecan stain. Loved this. Thanks for sharing. Got some pallets in back yard. gave some ideas! :-D

  • @DeMasterofstuff
    @DeMasterofstuff 11 років тому

    1. To make hole marks in the wood behind it. If you look when he removes the first one, there are black circles on the second wood.
    2. To make a seal. Think of making lock-nuts, but fusing the metal instead of using nylon.

  • @selador11
    @selador11 11 років тому

    The spray paint was to mark the spots to be drilled on the next piece of wood.
    The metal was heated so he could use the darkening agent on it.

    1) to mark where the next hole should go
    2) the heat helps with the reaction that darkens the metal

  • @chinnerz2
    @chinnerz2 11 років тому

    1) easier than measuring and marking each bit of wood.
    2) heat either speeds up the reaction with the "darkener" or causes it to happen in the first place. (notice its a clear liquid that makes the metal go dark)

    Counterbore. Countersinking is angled for flathead screws, counterboring is a flat-bottomed clearance.
    And I fully agree, would've been nicer to not catch on your leg as you walk by or something.
