I'll never get tired of DiResta!

DiResta is unique because he does the same amount of work a traditional wood working show would accomplish and compresses it down into a video of 4-5 minutes and shows only what you need to see. His projects are quite different (in a good way) and I will admit I have wood and metal working experience so maybe I can pick up on what he is doing a little more. The concept of no talking and showing all of the work is fresh and works for me.

Hand-made custom wooden crates. Something so simple, taken to the next level by a master craftsman.

seeing another DiResta video in my playlist it's like seeing a gift under the Christmas tree

I find DiResta's videos almost soothing but very engaging at the same time.

I got inspired and made a bench out of reclaimed 2" plank from my friends garbage pile. It's not perfect, but I had fun, and learned a lot. Thanks for the inspiration.

you have inspired me to be a "do it yourselfer". i am not afraid to attack any project after careful planning and know that learning from my mistakes will only make me better. kudos!

I relax watching these videos

Mr. DiResta. I have watched this video countless times as well as most of your others. You are an amazing artist and craftsman. Looking forward to future videos from you.

Your my favorite woodworker! You and Steve Ramsey. I’ve learned so much from you guys over the years and had a lot of fun watching! I still have so many questions that y’all do and make it look so easy but then I do it and I wasn’t to throw it outside after an hour lol. Maybe one day we’ll cross paths...ill be the over excited kid star struck and acting like a school girl meeting whatever popular boy band is around now lol. You rock! Love your videos!

Learn something new every time I watch u work.

Awesome idea. After watching this vid, I made a crate just like this out of an old 2X4. Thanks Jimmy!

Yes .. the show/series was 12 eps only Thank you for watching

sir i must say yours is one of the few channels and even your stuff on make that i am actualy excited for every week

Hey Jimmy, love these videos! I like watching videos of how things are actually built, brings me back to when such TV shows aired on PBS and local access channels. Thanks for sharing your talents!

There is something very relaxing about your videos, I think it is the combo of masterful craftsmanship and great editing

We've had that whiskey here at the house a few times. Bulleit, Lexington and the ol' standard Jim Beam are our favorites.

I love watching these! Please never stop!

11/27/23 I’m gonna make a shelf soon and I think I may have to make my own apple boxes for it. 🔥🔥🔥

You Sir are a Master. I love your creativity.

Thank you all for the great positive comments. The wood is hemlock from upstate ny

So that's what you went to Kentucky for......that Whiskey.....lol.....I saw that video where you stopped by ChuckE2009's farm/welding shop.....You build all kinds of different cool stuff.....I am amazed at your talent, skill, & and creative vision.....I enjoy watching, thanks for sharing with us all!

Your the best artist in what you do!!!

Awesome crates, thought you were gonna take a shot of that rye after all that hard work..

No lie, this was awesome! as are all of your videos!!

Man makes even the simpilest project so cool. The best.

nice product placement, nice crates

Great video, and perfect timing as I Was about to build a storage crate.

Great work man

You guys are an inspiration. I passed a BBQ thrown out earlier while working and wanted to pick it up. Was gone when I went back after work :(

your videos never cease to amaze me man, keep it up!

I love your bildes

I really wish you had a weekly video. You should think about it, really. I absolutely can't wait until you make another video!

Thank DiResta. I see all your videos! :)

Great work Jimmy.

I would pay digital cash to watch you work...I also would like to change my last name to Diresta and get it tattooed across my chest...but I will have to face reality and get Rash across the lower of my back instead, hahaha...Thanks for the video's and keeping me inspired

Awesome job as allways , thinkin of doing something like this to hold my vinyl records.

Scrap alert ! Good idea .

Way to go, DiResta for president, who better to build the economy.

Impressed by your skills. It also works to use a blowtorch and pattern made of Wood or metal to burn the logo into the wood.

DiResta!! you champ!

Amazing work there

thank you , makerfair in ny next month ill be doing few interviews thank you !

Awesome!

Judging by the tape in some of the shots, 16"x 24" 12" tall. Love the work!

THANK YOU !!

Build one crate and it’s just a crate. Build a bunch with good work flow and it becomes fascinating.

Thank you ! developing a concept where ill talk .... thank you !!

pretty good 👍🏿

Awesome, easy to make and would be a hit at all the local farmers markets. Would be nice to see a MAKE interview on how you got started, your workshop/mad scientist lab. need a 40yr old apprentice?

I do not work with anything. But to see things taking shape in his hands is magical.

for extra safety you can always glue everything before applying the nails.

I´m you fan!!! Your videos are awesome! :)

Finally got my DiResta fix.

Cheers jimmy !

I like it really much, nice tools and i wish i had so many ideas, keep up the good work:D i'm a big fan :D

i always think this exact same thing every time I watch DiResta work.

You know with all that resawing you did a bandsaw would have made alot simpler and faster. Also, acouple drops of glue on each board would make a world of difference in how ridgid and strong the finished crate would be.

Those are quite high-tech production and artist-made whiskey boxes. Kind of makes that whiskey a bit special. Smart move :)

I love how he doesn't wanna spray paint diresta on one of the crates.. so its like... ehh i'll spray paint one on the table for good measure. also bullet bourbon is good stuff.

G'day Jimmy, Great Job though I hope next when I'm in NYC, when I drop in to say g'day, that you still have some of that Bulleit Whiskey with you, cheers and all the best, regards Scott

The description says they are made for the visiting center in Louisville. They are probably going to be used as decorations.

Cheers! :)

I have something like one of those around my house. except there's metal on all the outside edges and the oval cut for a hand hold is between two planks rather than in the center of one.

fai dei lavori eccezzionali,complimenti sei il mio idolo

Man I love that bourbon.

Well done ship a bottle errr crate filled with bottles to Dallas!

haha you're editing style is amazing!

SENSACIONAL SEU TRABALHO,,,UM GRANDE ABRAÇO DO SHOW DO MIRO...BRAZIL

am i the only one who misread it as bullet? great vid as always!

I have built almost the exact boxes out of cedar to use as planters. I did have an issue with staples holding under the pressure of the soil. I have to imagine that a case of whiskey has some of the same weight characteristics. Do you use a special type of brad or staple? Or does cedar not take a fastener the same way the wood you are using here does (I imagine ash or oak)? I appreciate not only your process but, your understanding of the mediums you are working with.

Jimmy, very cool. always amazed! can you give any ideas on what to do with an old steamer trunk.

F***ing awsome!

DAMN GOOD RYE!

Real cool!

Jimmy, I really do enjoy watching you videos.. You are really fascinating with your hands.. I wish that I would have found you earlier. Besides that, who else works with you in the shop?

you are jamie oliver - fast and good ;) cheers from switzerland

I love watching these vids XD partly for the sound >^.^

I saw these in person in Louisville KY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably those crates are just for showroom. The whiskey carriage boxes are made with hard cardboard!

Which ending do you like better? The first or the second?

True but i wish you would make more videos like small projects

I bet they felt over billed when they found out you only spent 4 min 23 working on them

Are these props or can they actually take some weight stapled from the bottom?

Great crates! Why no glue between the pieces?

These look great. Did you trade for a few bottles of their bourbon?

yes he is

I know you've made a few but, it'll be awesome if you post an electric guitar build.

Hello Glue on each end wuldnt make any diference if the wood is freshly cut. It Will be mowing around. I would be much better if he would use triangular corner boards. It takes less room and it looks nicer.

I'm going to be honest here, I dont make anything like the stuff you make. I simply watch your videos for entertainment. There may be other videos similar to yours, but there's something about your that keeps me from doing my homework... oh, wait, moment... (muttering to self) Let's see... what is the absolute value of -90? Easy...

How do yow make the stencils for the spray paint?? It looks really nice!
