DiResta's Cut - Paul-Evans-Inspired Cabinet

Рет қаралды 251,518

Күн бұрын

Here's an unusual DiResta's Cut project: Jimmy's got a friend who's a fan of artist Paul R. Evans, and owns two of Evans' pieces. Said friend would like a third, custom-built to hold stereo equipment, but he can't exactly commission one; Evans passed away in the late '80s. So he asks Jimmy to work up an homage piece.
There's a lot of great building tips and tricks in this one: How to evenly space multiple components along a lengthy surface, when not to use a ruler, quick hold-down and clamping tips, an efficient router jig and more.

The pattern of the 'frame' on the doors reminds me of a city street grid, like looking down on a colorful map. I can imagine what stores and homes, parks and structures are in all the triangles and trapezoids in between. Thank you, Jimmy, for sharing your thought process with us.

Way to pay respect to original artist, Paul Evans. I love this format with narration Jimmy.

It was really nice to see you Jimmy expressing yourself, and not just building the normal wood working norms. I really think you should make more like this and REALLY express yourself.

Awesome! The possibilities with different textures and materials in those doors is infinite. Nice work Jimmy!

Wasn't a big fan of this piece until I saw it installed in the space in your vlog. Nice work Jimmy and once again, thanks for sharing.

So long as your vertical rails are all the same width, measure half the width of your end rails and then divide the length of the piece by the desired number of verticals. I love watching you work, Jimmy.

Very clever and nicely executed Jimmy! I like the piece of wood screwed to the router base. Slick. Cool looking piece, very unusual.

@NornerNlhoutbewerking 8 жыл бұрын

This thing is amazing. Relatively "simple" build, but your techniques for building (the dado jig, self made hinges, and that middle leg of the baseframe) and the artwork on the doors gives it an amazing appearance.

What's interesting to me is that the piece looks right at home in your shop, while I can totally see it inhabit a New York studio apartment. Really great piece! Nicely done Jimmy.

+Bradley Patrick Yes. He does exclusive videos for Core77 about once a month. He also does regular videos for Make. Those, and his own channel, are the three places where all, or nearly all, Jimmy Diresta's videos are found.
