One of the things I enjoy most about your work is that you are never a slave to either old tech nor new tech. We see a precision milling machine and an old draw knife used on the same project. I love that!

YES. Tiny hands, brass, and a hammer. This hit all my DiResta checkboxes!

Using the step bit to deburr the hole was a cool tip. And it was satisfying watching it spin on the bandsaw.

Can't believe that hanger was pure brass

Must be nice to just hit the print button......😂😂😂😂 Amazing as always Jimmy!

just an idea maybe you could cut the corners of the square part off to look like a hex, to look like your ice picks. or maybe a brass ring at the end of the handle. great work as always!

There is nothing quite as satisfying as making one's own tools, and then finding them indispensable.

I don't think there's anything that you don't do. That I love, You are by far one of my favorite channels. It would be a privilege. To work alongside you and learn. Hopefully one day I can meet you and Shake Your Hand. And tell you, thank you for everything you do. Please keep up the great work. I enjoy watching every video.

looking forward to seeing how well this cuts a burrito

tried doing this with old coffee filters, probably works better when your trash is made of brass.

Hammer’s are always nice, but I’m waiting for you to make a Flux Capacitor for time travel!!!😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘👍

internet: how do your hands get all... jimmy: I'm a drill.

Watching the machine head cut through the brass, melts just like butter, so cool

This is DiResta at his best! Taking scrap and make something beautiful off of it. Reminds me a little bit of Trash to Cash. Nice work!

So satisfying watching that hammer spinning round at the end! So clean

great upcycle!

Coatrack was useful for years and years, now the hammer will be for years and years. That was really cool. Love the inclusion of more milling and turning in the vids. As always, great stuff. 👍

And there I was thinking "There's no way that trashy coat stand is solid brass." You can tell how pleased Jimmy is will the result by how much time he spends playing when he's done. A thing from trash. Inspirational. Now reforge the shavings and make Ice picks. A thing from the trash of trash. Imagine if this was how the world worked. Thanks J.

When you were melting the metal it souded like something from the depths of hell haha. Great vid btw.

The whole video I was thinking, 'that's a very basic looking hammer'. Then at the end the display of balance that design has is insane and very cool.

Something I really enjoy about your videos is I can always get a sense of the object that you have created. The weight of the thing or the balance, or the feel of it in your hand. I really appreciated the end of this one. The first video I saw of yours years back you cut some steel back in your old NY shop. After you cut it you tapped it on some other steel and it rang. I was very happy to hear that and see that you have still carried on doing things like that. Makes the object real. Thanks man. Great vid.

Thanks Jimmy for sharing your adventures!👍👍👍

Does anyone remember when you could see all four walls of Jimmys’ shop at once? Lol I aspire to evolve like Jimmy! Because he hasn’t changed.

Just like when i started watching 100 years ago. Taking something dead and giving it new life. Love these videos.

Love the baby hand push sticks

That hammer is sheer poetry in tool form.

Work of art. Love milled brass. So beautiful

Jimmy, best use of one of those 80s coat stands, EVER! Magic to watch as always mate.

So simple, yet so elegant. Nicely done.

simple but beautiful. Kind of tool that you want to keep nice and feel bad using, but also the kinda tool that since it feels nice and looks good, you want to use it.

Beautiful job Jimmy, one of my favourite videos of yours - simple, ingenious and resourceful!

Again jimmy totally blowing away with the whole process from melting the bronze and making a Beautiful bronze mallet wow 😊😊😊

What a fantastic use from old copper, I love it

Amazing work! Always it's interesting to see how simple things make masterpieces.

You and your street finds.....love it...!!!

Gotta love your vision, where some would see trash you saw a hammer. Then you made a pretty sweet hammer, love the spalted handle. As always thanks for your inspiring work!

That is cool, thanks for sharing Jimmy.

There is something incredibly satisfying about the hammer spinning at the end. Love it. 👍

Thanks Jimmy!!! It must feel good in the hand!

Unique and beautiful !!!! Love the handle that complements the brass !! Keep them coming Jimmy !

Almost time to go over the hammer collection again! Beautiful work, Jimmy.

Alternate title could have been "Trashy Fidget Spinner, Diresta Style". Awesome example of reuse and repurpose. Thanks Mr.D!

Nice!

I'm back to being impressed...beautifully done Jimmy.

Im still fascinated with your freehand skills, and it works👌

Job well done, Jimmy. Best regards.

The spalted handle is pretty. 👍🏼👍🏼

Never cease to amaze! It’s a thing of beauty.

Your work is just lovely. It’s a joy to watch your videos.

As always , brilliant project and video, thank you for sharing.

I really enjoy seeing the things you create!

What an awesome hammer and use of scrap metal. I love it!

keep them videos coming Jimmy. Great Work!

After watching your videos for years I still can't get enough. Your ideas and application always amaze.

Looks great, good to see more casting. I learned to put the crucible straight back in the furnace after pouring, which reduces the risk of it cracking from cooling down too quickly. Looking forward to maybe seeing more CNC or 3D printed patterns for sand casting or lost foam casting.

There is another great product idea! So nice!

That thing is gorgeous. Well done

This made me so happy to watch! ❤

I think if you made the handle and the eye more of an oval cross section (as seen on most hammers, axes etc.), it would be easier to feel for accurate face alignment when striking, and the head would not tend to rotate on the handle. But hey what do I know. If it works, it works

Looks cool. Great mix of technique casting brass and carving the handle.

Hammer spinning was brilliant! Thanks as always for an inspiring build.

Reminds of the Original Jimmy....basic, all hand made, old school tech, nice to see every now and then again.

Brass is such a satisfying metal. So much weight and the color is something else. And the resulting balance of that thing was crazy satisfying.

Very nice every shop needs a brass hammer

If Jimmy Diresta and Adam Savage ever got together to build something, the sheer awesomeness of such a thing may in fact tear a hole in space-time and destroy the universe.

Everything Jimmy touches turns to gold. : ) Beautiful hammer. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Amazing Projekt. Love it.

10:38 It's perfect for that late night shop game of "Spin the Hammer".👍👊😉

Now that’s some fancy upcycling!

I would not have guessed you could get that much brass from a coatrack. Very cool!

Great video Jimmy Diresta!

Inspired. Again. Thank you.

Awesome job again Jimmy.

Such a creative mind! awesome project

You should make a miniature hammer using the waste from that one. #Hammerinception

Never a dull moment in your videos. Awesome as always.

Even the hammer looks nice! Good Job!

What we can do with the right tools and expertise... 👏🏻👏🏻

I like this channel but seriously has anyone ever loved their own name as much as Jim diresta?

Awesome!

Awesome, Jimmy! Real awesome!

Hey Jimmy, you really are the best. You always do it with a lot of dedication and you are very careful in the final details. I am an accountant in Brazil and in my free time, I spend most of my time watching your videos. You are excellent. Congratulations!!!

An independent 4 jaw chuck with a scroll!!! Nice!!!

Thor would be proud of you !!! Great video and Educational / Entertaining ...............Stay well my brother

Just brilliant to watch, loved the smelting, never seen it before, smile on my face the whole way thorough, p.s love the podcast !

Nice workmanship! Trash to treasure! Awesome,
