Whether the creation is simple or complicated there will always be something smart in your videos to be amazed with. Greetings From Greece Jimmy! Keep up the good work!
Oh man, this is exactly what I've been thinking about making for my classroom but I have been tying myself in knots trying to figure how to make them stackable. This is way easier than all the overly complicated solutions I came up with. Thank you!
That is so cool. I could see that being used for hobbies and things with small parts. Maybe for kids arts and crafts or Lego builds that are not finished. You can even add little latches so they can be locked shut and nothing spills should it topple over.
I like how Jimmy always walks the extra mile, when making things. You can cut so many corners and make usable shop boxes much quicker, but without the wow factor.
i am looking at this and I can hear the story unfold... David could you make few of those ice picks... there somewhere in a box with diresta on it....great build!
Between commenting on your Instagram post and hoping for a UA-cam movie and getting it in two hours that's just called luck! Great boxes and neat trick with the half sunken bottom making them stackable. Thanks for teaching me yet again Jimmy.
The saw stop is badass. Changed the construction biz forever without a doubt. My step dad builds and teaches seminars on framework (anything from picture frames to huge mural frames and he recently got one and only has one complaint: his has triggered and stopped the saw on two occasions just from the electricity in the air when cutting wood with gold leaf in it and other metallic properties imbedded in the wood. Kinda crazy. Anyways, love the vids jimmy, thanks for posting! -Shane
jimmydiresta accidents happen when we least expect them to. Which leads me to believe that lack of expectation may be a factor too. Have you had a braking event on your Saw Stop yet? I've seen it demonstrated in videos and I think today it'd likely give me a heart attack.
Jimmy, you should build a cool mobile tool stand for your planer that could be adapted for other tools! I need to build a table saw base to push mine around my shop and I just know you'd think of some really cool features!
Good work, Jimmy!! I should have bought that dang jig at the show....now I'm kicking myself in the backside because I didn't. Might have to trek over the the Cinci WIA show in September and pick one up.
Awesome end result, and I love how you show us not just "show pieces", but also practical stuff that would help a lot of makers in their own workshop. One question though: with the box bottoms, wouldn't a tiny radius on the plywood help to prevent them from splintering as you stack, unstack and restack them over the next 20 years?
Nice storage solutions for your awesome ice pic production line... Hopefully these babies won't be out of stock for too much longer I need to get my hands on one! # Made In America ! # DiRestsa!
Now we know where you keep da'resta your stuff :) (sorry). Love your builds man. Always so clean and professional looking - no matter how hard I try, anything I make from wood always looks like the birdhouse I made in grade 5.
I quite like these. Would be handy to store all the small parts for one project together. Probably would want a matching lid though, to keep the dust out of the top one. Also, that dovetail jig looks great. Faster and easier than farting around with box joints too.
+Mooncabbage Box joints would be even quicker, you can cut two corners at once if you want. I'm not sure what farting around you're referring to? But dovetails are definitely cooler :D
Seems like it would be faster to cut three tails with a router than arsing around cutting the 8 million little fingers people seem to do for box joints. Also it seems like atleast for cutting the tails, you could cut two pieces at once with the dovetail jig.
If you setup dado blades rather than just using a regular blade you don't need to do a billion cuts :D It's just something like 10-15 cuts per piece per corner. Depending on the size of the finger and piece.
Great video Jimmy, and all the time I wast stressing over why you weren't making box joints! I really like the stacking feature. I was wondering out loud "what did he do that for?" when you stacked the boxes. Keep up with the vids, the fast timing is really great for covering every detail quickly, I enjoy that format immensely. Cheers, Howie
Jimmy, can you explain the bottoms? It seems that they are just receding butt joints with glue. Strong enough? Your custom domino thing would be perfect in this application. Another great video. Thanks
Can you please do a video explaining the dove tail jig more in depth? Seems like black magic and sorcery to me. Also are those clampy thingies included in the Amazon link? Love your videos!
I actually went to North America to buy myself a jig similar to this one (I live in Sweden). Still, I have no idea how to use it. I watched this video like a million times but still can't understand how to set it up to make the dovetailes align perfect. Is there someone out there who'd like to help a Swedish dude out? Would be much appreciated since my jig won't be used otherwise. Thanks guys and thanks Jimmy for keeping it real!
The pins and tails are matching. He just drew two lines (visible in multiple shots) the width of the board on both sides of the jig. Align the board with the lines and they match up perfectly. On his Instagram post he said setting it up was a bit of a hassle, but once that's done... damn this goes fast!
What?! Wait, that dovetail jig is awsome. Did you buy it like with the clamps or did you build it? I would very much like to know where you bought it if you did. These bins looks easy enough for me to build, if i hade a jig. Nice work, love your videos. They are very inspiring.
I've watched dozens of diresta videos since my son first showed me the brownstone bird house. How do people muster the guts to give him a thumbs down? He hasn't asked me for a cent and ...fuck it. Haters gonna hate. Thanks Jimmy. Make another batch of ice pick man. I' d love to send you some cash.
Butbutbutbutbutbutbut he paints his name on everything! his videos are too long! his videos are too short! holy shit, he almost cut his eyeball off with the ! he speeds up the video so we can't see all the stuff he messed up! he shows too much boring stuff in slow motion! Hes a corporate shill for ! What a total hack! Keep making awesome shit Jimmy, love your content (learned a few tricks from you along the way)!
Slicker the snot on a doorknob. I love the simplicity and usefulness! Thanks for the inspiration!
Whether the creation is simple or complicated there will always be something smart in your videos to be amazed with. Greetings From Greece Jimmy! Keep up the good work!
bad ass as always. Stackable is a huge add on. Very cool
Lovely & practical to be so organised: Makes work so much faster & pleasurable when you can easily find what you want
Oh man, this is exactly what I've been thinking about making for my classroom but I have been tying myself in knots trying to figure how to make them stackable. This is way easier than all the overly complicated solutions I came up with. Thank you!

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new, love your work.
Wow! Those pieces have a nicer bed than most people get to sleep in! Thank you for your time and sharing. Excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you brother
Those are some proper quality boxes! They will probably outlive mr Diresta himself!
Really nice looking. Jimmy's videos are extremely relaxing to watch. And full of useful ideas.
great project! love the idea with the bottom sticking out for stacking.
Very nice, love the idea of the base sticking out to lock into the next box, that is so clever. Loving my ice pick I purchased off you by the way.
Thank you !!!
Thanks Jimmy, I was just given the Lee Valley Economy Dovetail Jig today and really had no idea how to use it. Great timing!!!
Nice Job Jimmy. That Jig can be tricky but you have made it look easy.
I bought that same dovetail jig at the Atlanta woodworker show. I hope to try it this weekend.
I like how Jimmy always walks the extra mile, when making things. You can cut so many corners and make usable shop boxes much quicker, but without the wow factor.
Presentation is everything. Very cool Jimmy!
Really nice, kind of reminds me of those plastic beverage bins the airlines use in the galleys
Excellent, I love how you made them stackable.
Had to watch this again, MAN those are gorgeous!
JIMMY.ANOTHER GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
was trying to figure out why you left the bottom proud, the stacking feature sets these apart!
My exact thoughts.
+mike gager same here

Not just another box video. Interesting spin on something useful!
Awesome dovetailing jig!
My brother just came up to me and complained that I was watching a video about annoying noises.
I'll be sure to sub.
1007yes once I was watching some video and my mom turned on my Bluetooth speaker and my device was on full volume and you can guess what happened next
Love the boxes, that dovetail jig is awesome!

Kinda crazy. Anyways, love the vids jimmy, thanks for posting!

+anaya51 kind of crazy when you figure a trigger event blows over one hundred dollars.
+Paul Frederick one finger 15,000
jimmydiresta
I still have all of mine, and at this point I'm close to done with them all anyways.
+Paul Frederick got cut after 25 years on same saw.

"Why is it not flush with the bottom, what are the shims for? But why does it OHHH, THEY NEST TOGETHER!!"
Damn in. Got me again.
Ahhhh, a router jig! That first fit in the video is great!
Always awesome Jimmy. I like the inset lettering, looks great!
Very nice. the bottom sticking out was clever
Good work, Jimmy!! I should have bought that dang jig at the show....now I'm kicking myself in the backside because I didn't. Might have to trek over the the Cinci WIA show in September and pick one up.
Very nice! A lot of work.
Too cool Jimmy, I've always wondered if dovetail jigs were worth it but you make it look so effortless.
+Josh Joyce yeah I have one and for the life of me I've never figured it out.
AWSOME! i love DIRESTA videos!
awesome as always. nice way to make the boxes stackable. heard you talking about that jig on the podcast - have to get one now!
Awesome end result, and I love how you show us not just "show pieces", but also practical stuff that would help a lot of makers in their own workshop. One question though: with the box bottoms, wouldn't a tiny radius on the plywood help to prevent them from splintering as you stack, unstack and restack them over the next 20 years?
That's a pretty cool project! Awesome idea Jimmy!!!
smart and simple design! I like this.
outstanding like that they stack quick and dirty project bravo
Great job and clever build. they look excellent!
DIRESTA! Te superas en cada episodio !!!

Beautifull made.
Nice and simple.
Thx for sharing.
Regards.
Jak zwykle świetny pomysł i wykonanie.
Great job Jimmy!
Make; We need more Jimmy DiResta!
I love how they stack!!
that router jig looks amazing
I'm liking that jig.
Nice storage solutions for your awesome ice pic production line... Hopefully these babies won't be out of stock for too much longer I need to get my hands on one! # Made In America ! # DiRestsa!
THAT... was amazing.
Nice! One more step toward ice pick automation.
Haha yes!
Nice work jimmy
Incredible technique!
great job man I need a dove tail jig like you have
You're the best.....all is well done
Now we know where you keep da'resta your stuff :) (sorry). Love your builds man. Always so clean and professional looking - no matter how hard I try, anything I make from wood always looks like the birdhouse I made in grade 5.
Nice work Jimmy!
Very cool Jimmy
Jimmy, you are an inspiration! I can only hope you don't mind that I'm going to follow your lead (i.e. copy everything you do).
very practical... good stuff jimmy
I really like these boxes!

It's just something like 10-15 cuts per piece per corner. Depending on the size of the finger and piece.
My reference for box joints are people like Matthias Wandel. I don't use machinery for joinery, just for stock prep.
Ah ok.
Great video Jimmy, and all the time I wast stressing over why you weren't making box joints! I really like the stacking feature. I was wondering out loud "what did he do that for?" when you stacked the boxes.
Keep up with the vids, the fast timing is really great for covering every detail quickly, I enjoy that format immensely.

D I R E S T A...What else?
Excellent!!!
Awesome. can't wait to get my 'pick!
Well done. I want to look into that jig
Me too
+Kaged Creations $160 .... Yikes.
HugTheBear55 maybe one day haha or maybe I make a wooden clone.
Awesome nesting project boxes !!!!!
wow trim/laminate style routers can do dovetails? dope
Handsome boxes and well built!
....13
Once again: Pure Awesomeness!
Nice Jimmy!
these videos are so awesome
Jimmy, can you explain the bottoms? It seems that they are just receding butt joints with glue. Strong enough? Your custom domino thing would be perfect in this application. Another great video. Thanks
Nice work DIRESTA DIRESTA DIRESTA DIRESTA! Real makers and self employed people get the branding. Keep it up!
Hahah thank you !
Can you please do a video explaining the dove tail jig more in depth? Seems like black magic and sorcery to me. Also are those clampy thingies included in the Amazon link? Love your videos!
Wow, what a sweet simple little dovetail jig ! Let's just see how much and oh my god I'm not paying that.
Jimmy's a genius
I actually went to North America to buy myself a jig similar to this one (I live in Sweden). Still, I have no idea how to use it. I watched this video like a million times but still can't understand how to set it up to make the dovetailes align perfect. Is there someone out there who'd like to help a Swedish dude out?

Nice boxes!
Man those are sexy boxes!!! lol nice really nice jimmy
A simple box but so Nice.
awesome jig! not even to the end of the video yet....
nice job as always!
KING OF THE POWERTOOLS
You need the right tools to perform Perfect.
And ive just experienced quality.
i know you have a collection of watches. I'd love to see you make a watch box.
I need some of these...
What dovetail jig is that? Killer work as usual.
Jimmy, how did you set up your dovetail jig, how did you
reference the tails to the pins? Great. Work
The pins and tails are matching. He just drew two lines (visible in multiple shots) the width of the board on both sides of the jig. Align the board with the lines and they match up perfectly.
On his Instagram post he said setting it up was a bit of a hassle, but once that's done... damn this goes fast!
