Another oldie but goodie. Love getting another chance to see these.

A scrap of fence post to a thing of beauty. I've never seen anyone light test their spoons before. Breath stopping moment. As always Jimmy D, you went above and beyond!

This. This video right here Jimmy is what started my love of your work. I found this video, of some guy taking what looked almost like firewood, seeing the beauty inside, and crafting something beautiful and useful. I've since watched every video on your channel at least once, most more than once. By far my favorite youtube channel. I get so much enjoyment out of watching something useful be made from something that isn't. The fact you're a great person too is the icing on the cake. I really hope to meet you one day. Thank you for all of the great content. I've been here years and plan to be here as many more as you will be a maker.

Jimmy D ,,,, I'm lovin the cool shipping container. Fantastic show.

Somehow I came across this video one day. This wooden spoon started it all. Now I'm hooked. I constantly binge on your videos. Often, I watch them a second or third time. You do quality work and make quality videos. I subscribe to both Make and your channel. Please keep it up.

Once again you make anything you do look a breeze.. I'm really enjoying your style of video Jimmy. No excessive padding, just straight to it. 👍🏼

Nice to watch it again, this vid was awesome.

I am glad you post the old videos! I have been following the channel for a almost 2 years and there are still videos I haven't seen. Keep up the great work!

This is the very first video I saw of you. I kept watching your videos in awe! I subscribe immediately. After that point, three years on, I went from being a painter, to more than doubling my salty working for a carpentry company, I have invested all my extra money on all kinds of tools, I sell arts and crafts on Etsy, and I'm correctly taking welding classes at the community college.

this was actually the first video I ever saw of yours quite a while ago on Facebook. I searched forever to find your actual KZfaq channel and now I'm addicted.

Very good job on the spoon! I really like the scraper you made at the end. I want to try that with some of my wood carvings. "They need it" LOL. Thank you for posting these videos, I know I allways learn something new from them.

watching your videos are so addictive, thank god there is no rehab

That DIRESTA Funk is Sweet as Honey! Preciate' Sharing all the tips! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

May be an old video, but still an joy to watch again. keep up the good work Jimmy.

I teach woodworking at a school, the other day I caught myself saing, not to Diresta on the scroll- and bandsaw, unless you know what you are doing. the kids looked at me like i was speaking russian. I had to show one of your vids on the smartboard to drive home the point. I love your channel, and the stuff you make. I'm thinking of making some of your "easier" projekts this semester. Btw, if not clear at 1:25, that's what i meant by Direstaing on the saw

The block of wood is excellent giftwrapping... I would be exstatic to open up a gift like that! :)

I see a 4X4 block of wood to use for chocking a wheel when working on my truck. Goof Jimmy sees a handmade piece of cooking art that could be in a Gallery. Genius.

this is a nice project that does not require big and expensive tools.....cheers

All thanks to you Jimmy!!!! Thank You for the inspiration!!!! ;-)

This was the first video I watched of Diresta, it was in him that I was inspired to start working with wood. Thank you +jimmydiresta

Thanks for reposting this. I thought I'd seen all your videos, but don't recall watching this one before. Lovely little project.

It's not a spoon ! It's a conversation piece. Thank you Jimmy

I'm glad you posted this, because it was this video that made me fall in love with your work and a lot of of the new people who haven't traveled far back to see the extent of your work will be able to see this

Thanks jimmy, last year watch this video, for this video I started carpentry. thank you Merry Christmas

one of my favorite videos on youtube. the sound is a masterpiece!!!!!!!

Wow the grain on that piece is beautiful. Loved how you put it back together at the end for the reveal

I never get tired of watching this one video

That sound of the chisel in high speed is so satisfying for some reason. Really cool video.

Brilliant!! I love it!

Watching it the second time around was even better Jimmy, your work is amazing.

wow, great to see this video again. it was the reason I subscribed in the first place. love you diresta

Still one of my favorites....

This video is one of my favorites!

I watched this again simply because I love that carving noise in high speed. There's just something about it.

Omg what a beautiful Italian mother's discipline device. I could use it for cooking too. All I can say is wow.

Fantastic.

I'm pretty sure this is the video that made me sub to his channel. Love it. Love everything about it. :)

yo... i dont understand theres something about the way he edits his videos that make everything so soothing and calm i replayed this like 10 times even fell asleep to it...

love you videos jimmy..thanks

Awesome as always Jimmy, seeing you and Taylor create such amazing stuff inspires me to create my own stuff, so thanks for that.

I hadn't seen this one before, thanks for sharing it again, very cool spoon!

makes me want to go buy a nice set of chisels and give this a try. fantastic video

Very nice job, Jimmy. As always.

As enjoyable as it was when I watched the old video long time ago !

Awesome work Mr. Diresta

I love these videos, awesome work!

I wonder if the people that disliked this video dislike all spoons or just wooden ones.....

Its always nice to see you working

Thanks jimmy I commented and asked for a spoon video because that's what I make! Thanks for inspiring me man!

This was the first Diresta vid I saw (when it was on Make), been hooked ever since

A very interesting video. Like!

i just took a break to watch this from...shooting a video of two wooden spoons and a spatula I am making as a gift, lol! I like how you used the hot glue!

Super rad! Makes me wanna have soup! Jimmy you are RAD! I dig your channel! Cheers, Steve aka The Talking Fly

my favorite diresta Video and also the first diresta Video i've seen when it came out the first time :)

Love your work

Jimmy, I think this is "heart pine". Here in the south (North Carolina), a species of pine tree called the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) was the dominant species in the southern pine forest (that is before most were cut down and replaced with either loblolly or shortleaf pine species). This is wonderful wood and the resin in the wood smells amazing, even after 100 years!

Having all those tools sure make it a lot faster to make these things. Made a few spoons (one of them pretty huge for a sauna), but it took like the whole day. Pretty envious right here. :D Anyway, looking real good in the end there!

Centuries ago a young man would carve a spoon for his romantic interest so her father would know he was capable of woodworking and could provide for her by being able to build a house. Good job Jimmy!

good stuff i liked how the grain just popped after you first cut it out of the block 👍🏻

amazing work as always.

I love the built-in gift box! :)

Awesome video Jimmy keep up the good work.

Great!

this is one of my favourites.

Great piece of work...you also should have made a box for it from the rest of the wood, anyway I´m glad I can watch you make this, or anything else ;)

EXCELENTE MUY CHULA

I like the spoon inside the offcuts. Very nice scene.

Good job😊👍

would like to see how the spoon looks like with a nice linseed oil finish, great work, very inspiring, as always ;)

Carnt wait to see your TV show tomorrow

adoro seus vídeos,thanks brasil

wow....i respect him.. because he can make anything

i love your video

Awesome :)

great idea

Nice video .

Love the ending.

That is one beautiful spoon, sir!

This is why I subscribed

excellent

Não canso de ver este vídeo, muito bom, lindo demais

good job 👍

Grande jimmy sei fortissimo ciao

You are the best

У вас золотые руки 👍

bellissimo !! è il tuo primo video che ho visto tempo fa ! poi li ho visti tutti :-)

nice video as always :))

This is one on my favorite videos of yours. Love the old longleaf pine board. Do you still have the spoon? I'd love to see how it aged. Maybe post on Instagram if you do? Much love man. You're the best.

Your work is beautiful not only on things what you do, it's become awesome when you only choose piece of wood for making something. I look on this wood structure in this spoon and have esthetic pleasure.

One of my favorite scenes from this episode is seeing the markings you make on the wood, before tracing shape of spoon, how you connect the tick marks.

great

Awesome my friend and very nice sir i like it bro :)

nice spoon...

bravo jimi

Nice work dude, I strive to b as skilled as u Jim, in all materials ;-)

OMG! That's the most beautiful spoon I've ever seen

giving the cut off wood with the spoon would be a great way to give this as a gift

That wood has some beautiful grain.

Watching you use the bandsaw as a sculpting tool NEVER gets old. Thanks, Jimmy! How long did it take you in real time?

What wood carving tools do you use? You have inspired me to start a woodworking hobby...now to start collecting tools.
