To be clear I want to scratch the new floor. That is the goal. Jk Ill ad feet pads. Relax.

While I appreciate the traditional Diresta-style silent movie, I really appreciate the insights into the mental process as Jimmy is learning a new skill.

The fact that Diresta is the name many hold as the diy KZfaqr beacon, it still impresses me that it clearly hasn't gone to your head. Your humility makes your videos as homey and approachable as the first ones. Thank you sir for the consistency and entertainment

your shop is the dream of every single kid in this world!

ALL the cool tools. There is nothing like making shop items, be they stools, shelves,drawers or even cord hangers. You get the satisfaction that YOU made it and learn along the way. Well done Jimmy!

I’ve been around long enough to remember when you were so reluctant to learn to use digital fabrication techniques and now you can make those robots dance! Nice work Jim 🤘🏻

Jimmy, an idea for welding the parts together - spot welds. They do it with stuff from battery cells to car parts. Could work for new iterations

That leatherworking studio is dreamy!

Come winter, you might want to think about adding either a plywood or leather pad to the tops of them stools .... for comfort.

Love the retro look of those stools Jimmy!

Gotta' love the paper "stool-sample." 😅

I do not think that I ever missed a thumbs up on any video I've seen of yours. You are the man Jimmy boy..

That brake is a monster! I really need to build a bead roller!

You can make a smokeless fire pit using this technique. I think a diresta style one could be really cool. The idea there is that fresh air through a double wall gets to the top of the flame and ignites the smoke. 🔥 💨🌋

Best way to do rivets is an air hammer. With the correct cupped end in the hammer you hold a flat hand anvil on the rear and go to town. Heat all the rivets up in the furnance and go to town with them all at once.

Full safety suit, love it😂

Hi Jimmy. Nice build on the stools for the leather shop. That plasma table must be like magic. Imagine how difficult it would be to make all the pieces needed for the stools without it. My dad was a sheet metal mechanic his whole life. He could make things like your stools with hand tools. I never could come even close. Pretty amazing how far metal fabrication has come.

Fantastic stools Jimmy.. you never fail to give me inspiration 🙌 cheers Rob

Always a pleasure watching your work. I hope you put something on the bottom of the legs so they don’t damage those beautiful wood floors.

Spot welding these stools would make the fabrication speed up if you'd produce them of course. Nice video!

Love the rivets and the design. Makes me think of the old shipyards.

Nice job Jimmy, what a brake🎉

Jimmy, as always great content, to make that bead roller easier to use, get rid of the hand crank and install a small steering wheel from an old riding lawnmower. I found a 12" wheel from a Wheel Horse mower. Works great.

Hello mister Jimmy beautifully made good job well done

Love the early access with Patreon! Really love following you through the whole process from design concept to execution.

Incredible workmanship, I remember watching you way back in the basement workshop getting things done. Now you have a massive workshop very cool 👌🏻

I'm constantly amazed and inspired at how you can use some pretty heavy-duty machinery to create art - functional art, but, yeah. Art. Those stools are classic! Thank you!

You have so many wonderful toys! I hit 70, and am down sizing to an extent. Still love to play though, and love learning new ideas and techniques. Love your posts.

The ole EEE. Experience, Expertise, Equipment

You could probably do a version of rust bluing to those chairs and get the patina started early and not have to sand blast them back to bare metal. You could also probably play with those faux color case hardening gels to get your signature DiResta logo on the sides using some sort of resist template.

So very cool always so amazing watching you work Sir Thanks for sharing

Color and the sheen after the sandblasting looks so cool. I am glad you kept it like that

Sturdy design but those legs need soft tips or some design element that spreads and cushions the load, especially on a fine timber floor

Haha dang Diresta I want one. My work area is real small and could definitely use a small stool. Love your thinking on projects. You just go after it and I see myself when I watch you work. Hopefully I’ll get as good as you. Thank you for the videos. Also I like when you talk in your videos more than your shop sound videos. If that means anything.

Beautiful work. Was fun to see these develop on Patreon.

When i dont have the time or need to make something useful myself, i get my dopamine makers hit by watching your videos instead. The stools are cool and very useful for any setting (home or workshop. My dream tool list is getting ever longer, darn.

Super exciting to see the leather studio coming together. Beautiful chairs!

От проекта до готового изделия...... Великолепная работа!

Awesome work! Such an amazing way to start the week!

Love the stools! What a beautiful setting and a dedicated spot for your leatherwork..

When Diresta learns, Da-rest of us learn too

It seems like the legs of the stools would gouge the floor. Some flats across the bottom would give some additional strength and prevent the legs digging into the floor.

Killer build and video, Jimmy!

Amazing work, Jimmy! Fantastic looking stools! 😃 But it made me remember something. My parents finished the construction of our farm house around 35 years ago. At the time they ordered some pine stools, that they painted blue. And they're still there! In one piece and I think they never painted them again! So... Imagine those metal ones! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Jimmy, get yourself a large cabinet blaster. If you have space for it, you won't regret that purchase. Much cleaner and works much better than those blast pots.

The leather studio space is looking awesome.

Dude! The rivets really make it pop, they're beautiful. That break is a monster, great job using the bead roller, especially by hand like that, especially with thicker steel, great job.

Your comments about the sand blaster being a big PITA struck a chord with me but we all march on thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎

Terrific work Jimmy & that Chicago bending machine is totally awesome! 👍👍🔨🔨

Thank you so much for sharing this! You had me hook, line and sinker watching the evolution process on Patreon. Someday I have to shake your hand and say thanks for everything.

Jimmy, you can always sink the rivets in backwards, use a cup on the back to keep it located, then use a concave punch on the outside to form the head. This gives a ton more room to swing and helps the rivet sink tighter!

I learned to rivet at the national warplane museum in Geneseo, NY where WW2 era aircraft restoration specialists started me off bucking, learning how its not just holding a buck, but working with the hammer and driver to shape the rivet. We left the steel rivets in a propane flame to keep them red hot, using thongs to handle the glowing metal. I don't remember heating aluminum rivets at all.

That was really impressive to watch dude. The combination of experience and gung-ho attitude is really inspiring 🤙

I have a wedding venue coming up. I’m going to need at least 500 stools for all the guests!😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️💪🏼

I’m surprised the leg tops are not on the inside of the box. Fantastic end result. Can’t wait to see the leather studio. I know absolutely zero about leather work. So that will be great to watch.

Great build man! And great video. Loved all the explanations.

Thanks Jimmy. Great video. True to your style . Love love

I followed the run up of the design through Patreon… nice to see the finished design in the leather studio (which is looking sharp as well!)… cheers Jimmy!

They look great. Fun project

These are amazing, I always enjoy watching you do stuff like this... videos where you learn a new skill and tool and simplify a build process. Thank you Diresta

Ive seen a lot of metal breaks but yours is by far the coolest.

Super nice space for your leather work! Thanks Jimmy! 😊

Consider: Your wood floors will get abused by the edges of the legs. Adding pads to the bottom would prevent it. Bo.

good call on the raw/petina finish. I think they'll age beautifully

Great film. Love how the material defines the process. Nice job on the bead roller. The stools are fabulous! Mahalo for sharing! : )

They look awesome, Jimmy. Watching the process on Patreon was insightful. To see how a craftsman develops through trial and error gives us confidence in our own process. I like the idea of "bespoke" for the leather shop too. Very cool 😎

Ok, the stools look nice but damn that space you built them for is gorgeous.

Love this format!! You’ve changed 😂 and It is always for the better!!!

It’s been a while Awesome content Great project Love all the hard work

I love Jimmy’s toy shops, what great spaces, and just love the way you get in there and make. I’m still using pen and paper and elbow , nevertheless you are such a great inspiration for so many people.

Love watching you build stuff. Thanks for sharing.

What an awesome shop! You can make anything you want.

Those stools look great. Job well done.

Y'all are pretty handy with that software, pard! Nice vid JD. Hope all's well, best to you and yours! - D Man, that leather shop is gonna be gorgeous.

those stools are the same design we had in metal shop in the late 80's. i remember having to lap weld sheet metal with oxy/acet before getting to learn the stick welder

Great look with those rivets. Thanks for the progress breakdown.

I really liked the rivet technique and the sand blasted look is great man!!! Very Nice Jimmy! 🔥

I'm getting ready to watch Jimmy Diresta make stool. Gives a 'hole' new meaning to the 'maker' title. I'll be here all week! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA But seriously, I absolutely love watching your work, Jimmy. Such a wonderful inspiration!

Love your creativeness and craftsmanship!

Love watching you work with Steel

The leather studio is going to look amazing, the stools are very nice 👍🏻. I think I know why the lights were flickering here the other day, it’s when you were using the breaker 😂. Well done as usual Jimmy 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

Those really look sharp, Jimmy. Hope you build more.

Beautiful finished product. Really stunning in its simplicity.

Great addition to the leather studio. I’m sure you are looking forward to getting in there and going to school.

Fabulous steam punk look! Nice how you explain the software, wiring & use of the tools especially the wheel bender that adds so much to the look. UV from flashes have caused many uk dentists to need cataract surgery after viewing uv dental resin curing, (now they use blue light) so I always wear uv protection while plasma cutting. Thanks for sharing!

Love watching old school laser cutting and folding

Excellent work Jimmy

Last time i watched this channel is a few years back when there was no commentary and mostly sped up footage. I have to say i really like this style with you explaining your steps and all, keep it up!

Awesome job Jimmy!!

It is a clever trick with cutting a missing piece!

Really nice job my friend.

They look like a bridge and maybe a bridge paint that using for preventing rust looks nice on them

Jimmy! A great way to start a beautiful Sunday -another inspiring project. I'll be getting off my buttox soon to do some Making myself. Thank you for sharing & informing! Very nice Build!!!

Nice job Jimmy 👍

18:37 a glass artisan's torch is better for small stuff like that (and many more things). Worth having in your arsenal for that one job where the large torch makes everything hot. The small torches are also great for hard to reach nuts and bolts, like i said, having one opens up a lot of roads.

just working on .063 shims for the top of my new command center in the middle of the shop. it is a Kennedy taco cart. The small side is .063 lower than the big side. The shims ended up being plastic from a kitty litter pail.

tHanks for the extra details. Fun video

Id like to see you restor your bender make it look brand new

Great video jimmy . I’m taking notes

Leather studio, I can't wait!
