I’ve been watching your videos for years and still come back to watch the tip videos. My favorite!
I was taught that trim nail/drill trick as an apprentice 30 years ago and you are the only other person I know that uses it. That really made my day!
The first one was by far my favorite!
***** now if only a tool maker would listen and do the right thing.
John Smith good luck with that...
Some great tips in there Jimmy! The reason the drill goes straight through the dowel when holding the drill by hand is because of the same principle that lathes work, it's impossible to drill a hole at an angle while the material is spinning basically.
The stepped drill is also great when drilling holes in plastic sheeting material, like in enclosures or other boxes. A regular drill bit has a tendency to snag and pull itself in, leaving you with a hole which has the profile of the drill, flutes and all, and a nightmare to redrill. The stepped drill helps a lot with keeping the holes round.
Cheers for these!
My 5 year old will watch the entire video with me waiting for spike to show up. She was genuinely concerned when he stole the drill.
I hope she was able to get to sleep. Salts
+Dustin Penner I am 22 years old and I also wait for the parts of spike showing up!
I am 42 years old and I also wait for the parts of spike showing up! :)
Hey jimmydiresta, Thank you for sharing your DiResta Jimmy Tips 7. I learned a few things. I'm 54 years old and I wait and smile when Spike shows up. lol :D Peace & Joy
I'm 72 years old and I also wait for the parts of Spike showing up! This is nothing new though... when I was a youngster I used to read Walt Disney comics. If I read a Gyro Gearloose comic, I would immediately go through it again frame by frame and search for Little Helper the "lightbulb" man. We get older... we don't change! :o)
I used the dowel tip at work for stainless steel rods. They already had tapped holes at the ends, but the holes needed to be widened and made deeper, so I used your tip and chucked the rods in the drill-press and the drill bit in the vise. Worked pretty well! Thank you, Jimmy!
This was super awesome! The flat side of the drill trick for parallel holes was my fav.
that blew my mind how simple yet incredibly useful that is
Only 30secs in and already added to 'liked' & 'Favorite' lists. Cause it's Diresta!
Love this series. Professions tips for the everyday guy. I always look forward to these. Thanks Jimmy and David.
Spike ROCKS!! I truly enjoy watching your videos. You always have GREAT tips!! Thanks!!
Jimmy, that drill-angle-block-onsite-drillpress thing is a great idea!
Aluminum is the spruce of the machinists, it works with almost all woodworking tools, so I am not too suprised that the forstner bit works :)
Stefan Gotteswinter I agree...i use the rasp file on my knife handle aluminum elements...works like a charm,try it with machining file...NOPE...NOT TODAY SIR...aluminum sticks to it like a glue.
cut the tips off they work great in the lathe, 38mm is the largest I have bored no problems.Use small drills first.
After 1,5 minute watching i've already seen a fantastic tip for drilling straight holes. Thanks for all your video's, Jim. They're great!!
I love all these "tips" videos! There is no substitute for experience in any field. Thanks Jimmy!
Spike rocks. Long live Spike!!! Thanks for the great tips Jimmy.
For perpendicular holes, nothing beats a drill block. If I need one in a pinch, I use the drill press to make a hole in some hardwood stock, then clamp the block to the piece I need the hole in.
Spike seems especially happy with his new home. Thanks for the great vids Jimmy!
sydnius What happens if you don't have a drill press to make that block with?, if the tool makers made the drill with a straight back then maybe ran a slot down that back you could use a speed square in to guide your drill bit then that would be much better.
I find each one of these videos tremendously educational. Thank you, Jimmy and Dave!
Jimmy and David, very useful and extremely inspiring as usual, thank you!
Theses things make my day. Thanks for awesome videos Jimmy, Dave and of course Spike!
Dude, these videos are absolutely incredible. You truly do belong on television. Don't stop being awesome.
Bravo jimmy. I loved the oil press tip. Never seen it before and I'll be using it in my own shop when I drill steel stock. Thanks for making these.
I always learn a thing or ten from your TIPS videos. Thanks!
You blew my mind like 3 times in this video, good stuff man.
more of such tips please - they are priceless! thanks
These videos are pure gold thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your talent and expertise. So many gr8 tips and tricks. The timing couldn't be better for me as I'm about to get my 1st drill press : D
Thanks again, Rodney
You and Spike are hilarious... Love it!
jimmydiresta I think these tip videos are some of the most useful maker/craft/diy/etc videos on youtube!. keep them coming please!
Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise!
Once more you have done it. Made, a fun, enjoyable, informative video. Thank You for your time.
Can't get enough of these videos!
Love the block glued to the drill! That is a must do!!
Это не первое видео с Вашим участием которое я просмотрел, очень Вам благодарен за те идеи которые вы предоставляете своим зрителям. Спасибо Вам!
I didn't know most of these tips. Way to think outside of the box guys. Thanks for great tips
Very nice of you to share you expertise, Jimmy. All respect to you. I subscribed and I'm gonna make sure I like every video I open. Cheers!
Thanks for all the tips, very useful for someone like me wanting to learn, keep them coming
Dude, I'm a welder fabricator who's trying to get into woodworking, n your vids r perfect for me ;-) passing on your experience is invaluable to someone like me, as u know both metal n wood work VERY differently, I have the metal knowledge, n I'm trying to gain the wood knowledge, so for u to do these vids is a God send man! I also luv that u work with all mediums to, very creative and no nonsense, respect Jim, proper bloke :-D
Some tips I knew, others I knew and forgot and still more that were totally new to me. For all of them, thanks for the video.
Jimmy, receive a big hug and continue creating .Your friend of Brazil, Geraldo.
It's always nice to learn a few new things. Thank You for the useful tips!
Great tips video once again Jimmy, thanks for sharing.
They aren't listening! As much as I agree with the form-follows-function philosophy, tool companies design drills to catch the eye of the homeowner dad who has a shelf to fix this weekend. There are far more guys like that than there are specialists, so far more revenue, and far more incentive to target that demographic.
I get a new tool, I start modding it immediately: chopping off guards, straps, and other pieces of useless plastic weight that were put there just to snag that impulse buyer. Anyhow, thanks for the tips Mr. DiResta! Loved the drilling down a dowel one.
Yep. Thank you brother

hey can you suggest me a good quality drill for home needs
Manish, it is not the best but for the money you really can't beat the Ridged portable tools at Home Depot.
+Manish Shukla Use makita or dewalt, they both work very well
This is excellent, love this series of tips and tricks, I'm an engineer and love hearing new tricks and trade tips, and yours are excellent so thanking for sharing your trade secrets!
diresta = my inspiration. i love you diresta!
Great stuff Jimmy! Thanks for sharing.
잘생긴 디레스타!!!
오늘도 유용한 방송 잘 봤습니다 ~~
Thank you Jimmy for these practical inspiration.
Thanks for the great tips, Jimmy. But to be honest, Spike stole the show.
Thank You for your tips, they are excellent. If you continue with this series i would like to see your welding tips.
Tips worth listening to. Good stuff Jimmy.
Always looking for tips...you gave plenty for me to take on board..👍🏻🇦🇺😁
jimmy you are awesome !! love all of your videos
The tip about how to enlarge a forstner hole just saved my bacon. Thanks much
Love your old drill press.
You are gold. Great vid thankyou. Quite a few of these tips where new to me.
Some great tips! I don't have a drill press, so I'm going to make one of those sliding guides you had at the start of the video this weekend. Thank you Jimmy!
All round excellence, well done. I have subscribed. 🇬🇧
These tips are awesome
My greatest inspiration, what a legend!
Love this series.
Great tips Jimmy, thanks.
Take care
Mike
I love the Spike transitions. Makes me laugh every time.
Spike is such a beautiful and cool cat!
Thanks for the tips.
Great stuff Jimmy. They say you should try to learn someing new every day. Well there's one week taken care of. Spike sure is one smart cat too!
Here's a nice tip for drilling round holes into thin sheets of aluminum. It also works for other metals. Drilling a hole with a (cordless) drill, or even with a column drill, the hole might end up looking more like a pentagon, rather than a perfect round one. A nasty effect many of us might recognize. The trick is to take a 1 inch square piece of felt or very thick cloth and put a few large drops of very thick oil onto it. Now, first drill into the metal, but ONLY make a small dent !! That dent will be/should be round. Lift the drill bit and lay down the oil soaked square of felt or cloth with its center over the dent. Now gently drill the hole, drilling right through the felt. If done well, the hole is much rounder, if not perfectly round !! The reason this works is: eliminating resonance. The drill bit starts to resonate, creating a five pointed hole. Get rid of the resonance and you're done !! Using a (much) shorter drill bit also helps a lot. Another nice side effect is that the oil helps to lubricate the drill bit and the felt or cloth removes burrs. For the most part, usually. A simple and cheap trick, but it really works ! However, for every hole you need another piece of felt. The one you just used got trashed in the process, ofcourse ! ;-)
Awesome Jimmy! I especially like the dowel rod trick! I needed to drill through dowel once before to make standoffs to mount a model airplane engine. I had to locate a drill press, had I known this before it wouldn't have been a problem.
Probably the best tip video to date.
These are great videos guys. Keep up the rad work.
Great stuff !!! thanks for sharing all these awesome tips and tricks :)
Thank you for those bits of information!
Tips are allways welcome and you are willing to share. Nice this time i knew them all. But fun to watch.
I love this series!!!
thanks for these videos! I really have learned a lot from you!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have been racking my brain on how to keep my kids from reading books. I can't trust them as far as I can throw them. Every time I turn my back my kids try to read books. It is enough to drive a parent crazy. Now I have one less problem to worry about. Thanks Diresta!
Jimmy, you rock man! Awesome tips and my boys love watching what Spike is going to do next LOL.
Jimmy, for cutting, drilling, tapping, milling etc. aluminum, ethanol or methanol is a way better lubricant/cooler than oil. I used to make tools for vacuum forming in aluminum and ethanol was all we used. Drilling 1mm holes or stripping a 40mm alu sheet with a circular saw. All good with ethanol as lubricant.
jimmy your tips is the best. thanks for show me
Jimmy Thank you for all the great ideas ,I learn so much.
They use to call me McGuyver when I use to build amusement centers , watching you and I'm still learning.
Say hello to Spike for me.
He's a great cat
The dowel! That's great for making stand-offs. Also, I actually made a carbide bladed tool that you can put in the drill, and run forward, that does what the file does, and with and with a bigger hole. But it turned into a science project in terms of blade angles, and machining. But I've till got one, and it's a great idea. I love your videos. It's inspiring me to stay creative.

Really usefull tips there jimmy :)
- When the glue loosens in some older, cheaper chairs that are put together using dowels I take them appart and try to glue them again.
The problem is that sometimes on the dowel itself (if it holds in one side for good) theres some residual glue left. I bought some scrap steel tubing in the most important dowel sizes like 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm ID ( +2 mm OD ) and cut a serrated edge on a piece of the tube (like a 10 cm long piece) with a small triangle file or a angle grinder.
Works great for cleaning up the glue without destroying the dowel or reducing it in size.
- I actually use the "nail-drill" pretty regularly when installing glazing beads that are made out of soft wood.
- We have a sharpening jig in the toolbox that can be installed on the drill itself. Its a great tool to have when on site and the drill goes dull...
Great tip on the steel tubing vs. old glue on dowels. I'm putting THAT tip in my tool bag. Thanks.
That quick drill press idea was good. I'll have to use that one. :)
Best one yet!!
I used the same trick for drilling new holes in my granite counter top for my bathroom. The bit for drilling the holes does not come with a center drill, worked great!
By the way, I love the clips you put in with your cat :)
謝謝您不藏私的傳授技巧、讓我受益良多、再次感謝您。
Hey brotherman!! I really enjoy your videos iv seen everything youve had a part in..and your way of doing/making things has helped me alot..thanks so much for all the inspiration..I hope to meet you one day...
Thanks for the video Jimmy. Gr big fan.
Nice tips Mr.Jemmy
Continue the good job 👍
Holy Crap jimmydiresta I had that Science book when I was a kid. Very helpful tips. well you have sold me, i better get a tuff stuff drill.
Great tips...Now if I can remember? Thanks for sharing.
I never thought of the oil dip under the drill press.... GREAT idea!
I went one step further and adapted an old ring clamp from a bunsen burner stand to hold a small stainless steel cup full of oil, under the hole in my elderly drill press.... WORKS GREAT!
I also never though of looking in Pablo's cathouse for missing tools, since he likes to watch your videos with Spike in them.
We'll never know what he had planned for the power hacksaw I found in there but.... he's no longer allowed to watch your videos alone!
Hi J great advice thank you for making these tips

Good work Jimmy! Love these videos :D!
Hey Spike - Your some Cool Cat. Thanks for all the great tips and videos. Tell Jimmy thanks too!
AWESOME!
GREAT TIPS!
I love these old school tips.
Great tips and straight to the point. Keep them coming!! I have been learning a lot from watching you and spike!!!
Great tips. Thank you Sir.
Spike is a beast!! I have bruises on my ribs due to cutting into copper with hole saw bits. Next time I'll try my forearm/wrist. Keep the videos coming, thumbs up. If I was somebody, I would get Jimmy+David tated on my body.
I liked everything, and the cat too.Thank you.)
Gracias por compartir, me ha servido de gran ayuda
Dipping the drill in oil underneath the drill press table is pure genius.
