This was a goal for a long time! I always figured that if I made a pair of handmade scissors i’d learn more that I could predict!
Well in this blacksmithing project, I absolutely did! I know there are going to be few people that will get their panties in a bunch because of the various methods that I used to make these scissors, this was done to entirely bait you. You know who you are - enjoy!

Pablo Antelo I talked about him being the inspiration for this on my podcast last month.
@@jimmydiresta gracias por tu respuesta !
As you got his first name right (the O with two dots over it) I just wanted to say the his surname starts with an Å (an a with a ring above it) Åhman :)
So many have no idea how hard it is to make a scissors actually cut something! Well done Jimmy!
This is so impressive! Folks who haven’t made anything probably don’t realize the skill it takes to put together scissors. I’d never imagine even trying. Way to go Jimmy!
You have come a long way from clamping the Portaband to the workbench !
Oh....
And I love you.
That is all.
Jimmy, I like the shaping block you rigged up for adding the profile to the blade. Love stuff like this to keep opposing parts consistent.
I was thinking the same!
Nearly spit my drink at the part you wrote "what a waste!" I love when the podcast bleeds into the video and vise versa.
Franco Noce given that Jimmy doesn't make too many knives, he could offer up some of the off cuts to a knife smith for San Mai, or jacketed blades. Leaf steel makes for decent spines/cores, or basic cheese board knives if I'm not mistaken...
Jesse Cohen 5160 (spring steel) makes for great knifes and swords. Hardens up nicely while retaining a nice flexibility.
@@JesseCohen but it's easy to come by. I have stacks sitting here I get free all the time. Coil springs too.
Duly noted for future reference. I'll try and get my hands on some, as a buddy has offered to let me use his shop space for some exploratory forging. He's better equipped than I can be at my current income level. I've watched too many vids on the subject not to give it a go. I'm hoping spring steel is available at the local salvage yard, or else I know a guy up in Windsor that likely has some lying around. Thanks both for the feedback!
Billy Beane Its a long shot, but I don't suppose you're anywhere near Nor Cal? Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask...
I enjoy watching you take on challenges that scare you or things that you've never done! Just shows that with an I can attitude, ANYTHING can be done!
Those amazing scissors were lodged in that leaf spring this whole time
Form is so iconic they could hand on a wall, but function is so good that they never will. Stunningly impressive that you have mastered all these techniques, bringing together the power of large band saws & controlled heat to anneal, then hammer & heat to form, then harden to quench, then anneal again, everything to the appropriate temperature & time, techniques that only a few years back would have required an apprenticeship & years of experience. Thanks for sharing!
What craftsmanship! I’m in complete awe
To make some "simple" scissors into an absolute work of art is pure Diresta!
Who knew those leaf springs had scissors in them??
I learned something new about clamping on my mill from the video, thanks. And that DoAll bandsaw is a wonderful addition to your workshop - congratulations!
Excellent build! Love the bullet-style fastener. You did amazingly well to keep the two halves so symmetrical!
Symphony and rock and roll at the same time.
I'm sorry but for the people who dislike this video, Apparently you don't know true Talent when you see it. The dedication and hard work put into all these projects is amazing. Jimmy I love your work and your videos. Oh and I also bought that book( I make) for my nephew and myself
That’s a badass bandsaw you got there
Stamping your on the washers was the cherry on top very nice as always!
Jimmy I'm a fan of yours from India and I religiously follow all your makes. I'm a software engineer but after watching what you do, I developed a new passion for woodworking. The way you work with various materials is really motivating. Yours jigs and methods are fantastic. Just want to express my appreciation!
When this man grabs a leaf spring it's about to be magic!!! Rustic elegance at it's very finest! Really beautiful!
I first saw you with Brad making the grill.....I cant believe you don't talk in your videos! Your personality is TOP NOTCH!!! It would be so fun if you did!
What a touch and eye you’ve got. Skilful as... Mr D. Great stuff.
Amazing. The first DIRESTA vid I saw was a hatchet restoration...every one I have seen since has been just as mesmerizing. Love watching your channel!!!
Great mix of old and new skills/tools
As a hobby knifemaker I'm happy to see such a responsible use of material!
I HATE how people let old leaf springs rust away in the scrapyard, what a waste.
So when you think his repertory is over, he homes with this. Diresta’s cut! Thanks Jimmy!
Nemo Sampaio 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome job making the "what a waste" scissors! 👍👍👍
Even after owning a camera that can shoot slow motion footage at 240fps, Jimmy still chooses the ‘faux’ slow motion effect...
Perfect! 😊
Now those are some scissors! It looks like you had some fun making them. Who's ready for a haircut?
Literally lol'd at the "what a waste!" Great video, Jimmy, love all your projects!
One of the most impressive things I´ve seen you make.
congratulations for the excellent work very admired here in Brazil
Love your work I could happily watch all you videos in real time
Thank you
Looks like restored old scissors , great job Jimmy !
Well done Jimmy... several skill sets in this project... I noticed!
You Doall that cutting on the badass bandsaw. Made it look easy. Love the look on that scissor Jimmy
Brilliant way to come back, love your talent 👍👌👏
Nicest pair of scissors I've ever seen! I love them
Dude, I am no slouch, and I do possess a certain amount of talent, but I am simply amazed at yours. Your talent, your imagination, your drive-it is inspiring..... I’ve watched many of your vids, and look forward to many more. Don’t stop!
Thank you 🙏🏼
9 tones of machinery and 97 steps to make "hand made" scissors... still love your work man.
Whoa. All I need is a lifetime of knowledge, some old leafsprings, a shop full of equipment, and I can finally get a haircut. Thanks Jimmy 😊
Now that is a proper pair of scissors! Outstandingly well done Jimmy!
The little details are insane, like stamping your name into the little brass washers or whatever they are
That is an awesome pair of scissors, better than a pair off the shop. as always another great video.
You did great, you have gold hands 👍👏
I'm amazed by your work.
Max from France
Any other word would be wasted! BRAVO and always. Passion makes some men good: Bravo.
Your videos are mesmerising! Interesting start to finish every single time.
Your skills on simple tools is the most impressive thing about you
From a Leaf Spring!!! Amazing! 👍
This was incredible. Making scissors is no joke. And you ran with it! And they are awesome!
A million machinists cursing you, going ten different directions lol
You can always tell who could make a diagonal or curved line on the Etch-A-Sketch, with the lines on the part afterwards. XD
As a Allround machinist I couldn't agree more, but still a nice project
They look perfect for leatherwork. I wonder how thick a hide you could cut with those 🤔
From a springblade to a pair of beautiful scissors! You did a very fine job Mister Diresta!! Greetz from Someren Netherlands
I have been waiting for this after seeing all the instagram stuff. Now I feel like I have to try making some scissors but I don't have any blacksmith tools yet... Oh maybe wooden ones!
Never thought I would want to be able to make a pair of scissors. But now I totally do. Hopefully some day!
the massive scissor ever ever ever!
Greatings from Hamburg Germany and my CHANNEL!
Tobi
That's a badass pair of scissors, no doubt.
Jimmy, I love all the different tools that you used to make this project. After seeing how you completed the project it shows that it is a do’able project in the shop of a lot of makers if they noodle over it a bit. #classicdiresta
Probably my new favorite diresta video! Awesome job man
Just two words: Great Work!!!
Amazing work Jimmy. I love the design. They look like they'd make a nice pair of fabric shears!
After watching these come together on Instagram the finished result was well worth the wait, they’re amazing. Cheers Jimmy.
I love the Bridgeport work!
That was truly cool! Thanks Jimmy!
A very Diresta design. Cool to carry the twisted design through from the icepicks. It's really awesome when you make your own tools. I wouldn't ever imagine making a pair of scissors! If you need someone to take care of the offcuts from the spring, let me know.
Mr.DiResta Excellent Video. Dad would say.... save those springs that is good steel.
Those shears cut like a rabid beaver in a pine forest .. Learned so much, Thank you .. Stay well my brother
The DeResta brass washers are a nice touch
Enjoy following the journey. You’re getting better at smithing.
Wow! So cool, Jimmy! Love the brass touches too.
Nice job. Love the bevel jig.
They are real old school scissors meant to last about 500 years, Thanks for sharing
I could have watched that in real time, Jimmy. Amazing.
You're a genius!! Excellent work :)
Now there's the Jimmy we've all come to know and love!
Making Diresta great again.
Nice!
Awesome job ! I cant believe you did that with such a small anvil 😬
Another great video!! Taking 1 half of the scissors and looping the handle the other way, would make a pretty cool looking, matching Letter Opener 👌
Master of the Bandsaw ..... period !
I saw these on your last update video and just got to say these are masterful. You did a beautiful job.
I saw this on your fb post but never thought you made it yourself. Really awesome maker.
I've followed you for a long time, and this might be one of my favourites! 🙏
Truly a beautiful Make Jimmy. Always amazed with your talent.
Another Diresta classic!
What a piece of art!
The video quality is excellent. Much appreciated upgrades.
Mmmmmmm I love that DoAll!! Just got a Milwaukee Delta like the one you restored, but with the metal cutting gearbox....it's sweet, but not DoAll sweet!!
Who the heck makes their own scissors for the love of Pete?! Amazing.
Precision and art
Can't wait to see you on Forged in Fire!
Omg I had a list of things I was going to write and then I read your description. I am a fool jimmy. I took the bait. This is one reason why I can’t stop watching you create such amazing works of art. One day I will resign my narcissistic personality and embrace being a maker.
Those have a really nice organic look to them, they remind me of I think Japanese style scissors.
Awesome build Jimmy!
That is a beautiful pair of shears! I loved the hand turned and riveted brass bearing too! Next level Jimmy D 🤙
I'm from Brazil. Wonderfull work. Congratulations for you.🖒🖒🖒👏👏👏👊
They are beautiful Jimmy.. functional and they make the most satisfying sound when closing. Love it. #classicdiresta...😁😁
I got to see them in person today. A lot of work went into them, hope to see them used in upcoming videos. Some thing to be proud of.
Robert Doyle thank you brother 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Jimmy's idea of a nightcap.🍸👍👊
Great video Jimmy!
As a retired tool and diemaker I can appreciate Jimmy not relying on CNC!
You guys have been talking about bridgeports for months, now I finally understand what it is 😂
who the hell dislikes these videos? i don't get it. this is ASMR to me. incredible work.
Beautiful pair of shop shears
