Great build. Thanks to Rockler for supporting Jimmy! No other builder whose videos I’ve watched have taught me more.
I met Sam before he passed at his property in Alta Loma. Very nice man. And he spent a lot of time giving me and my wife a tour of his shop
For a 1st time rocker you knocked it out of the park!
🙌
Absolutely beautiful build. I feel like if I ever need motivation, I just need to listen to Jimmy.
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video! So cool. Saw a Sam Maloof chair today, very beautiful. Jimmy Diresta has such an encouraging personality, makes anything seem possible.
💙
Ive studied Maloof and watched several videos and I must say I think your process is closer to his than those who meticulously follow the forms and patterns and templates. Maloof had a wonderful eye but free process resulting in genuine comfort were as important as anything. Great job thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I was fortunate enough to live close to Mr Maloof at his residence in SoCal, i have toured his shop and watched as he built his famous rocking chairs.
Jimmy... you did his honor well .!!
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Masterclass in design, fabrication with all the tips, tools and techniques of putting wood together in a form like a beautiful person that was born from love and was nurtured and loved as it grew. Stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing your methods and secrets of the build.
Just realised how much there is to listen when Jimmy talks! What a fantastic build and what a true craftsman. Love you jimmy
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@jimmydiresta amazing brother. I'm really looking forward to seeing the next chairs. This one is fantastic.
Edit happy Halloween 🎃
Awesome job Jimmy! Sam would be honored!
A crying shame this isn't getting more views...
This, in my insignificant opinion, is Jimmy at his best!
Thanks, maun. A pleasure to watch and learn. I may even take the courage now, to build a chair myself, BUT...
First I need a shop tall enough and big enough, then I need one of those honking big band saws! Oh, and a disk sander that's as big as I am! Lol!
Love the mentality of jump in and just do it. I've never been great at getting things from my mind onto paper so I often just have to show people what I'm seeing in my mind, by just doing it. Great video and amazing chair.
What a wonderful thing to bring in to the world - a joy to watch.
One of the best woodworking videos I have ever seen. Thanks so much for the sharing!
WOW , Very, very nice work. I like the organic shaping style.
Instagram follower of the Godfadda. He said go check this and here I am. Having fun with a build and "Going to school on the first one!" is something I practice. JD also said he was anxious about this but once he committed it was a flow. A maker has gotta make! Always like the backstory on creation.
Thank you 🙏🏼
1/31/22; ...Jimmy, just watched you make that Maloof Rocking chair...! Just great! Excellent narration, fantastic equipment..'big mamma' band saw, 3-different spoke shaves, multiple rasps, files, orbital sanders, 60/80/120 grit sanding papers, then mix of Walnut saw dust & West Epoxy. Finally Maloof oil stain & finish. Wonderful project between you & Rockler! Hope to see more videos like this in the future.👍👍👍🧑🔧😊🍷
To hear such an accomplished creator like Jimmy DiResta admit he’s not very good at joinery gives me such confidence to make, no matter what my skill level, and use every build as a learning experience.
Thank you Rockler for supporting such makers and for sharing videos like this.
Thank you I am alway learning
His bandsaw mastery is incredible.
Wonderful job Jimmy. I cannot wait to see the next chairs. Also thank you ROCKLER for giving Jimmy this opportunity to test his chair making skills.
If there's something I've learned over the years watching Diresta's videos, is that you MUST learn while doing something. And now I always try to never be scared of going out of the confort zone. Thank you Jimmy!
And btw, this is a great looking chair!
Jimmy, you are phenomenal. Gorgeous build! Love the narration.
Mr. DiResta , you are so right , just start , just do !!!
Absolutely stunning! Excellent!!
Sam would be proud!!
Nicely done!
Just getting started is often the hardest part of any project for me. Thanks for the inspiration as always Jimmy!
Beautiful piece, video and job jimmy. it was a pleasure watching this. Thank you!
Special Thanks to Rockler for supporting the work of Jimmy DiResta!
Who could only watch 30 seconds 🤷♂️ Jimmy is the man the Legend!
I didn`t intend to make use of this woodworking book, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but rather curious about it. I had been truly amazed right after trying it. It never disappointed me in my wish to acquire more information about the art of wood working. Many topics were covered, including everything from wood types to developing your workshop.?
Such a beautiful flow through the whole chair. You did your magic as usual Jimmy.
Thanks Rockler for making this happen and supporting people like Jimmy. Well deserved!
Beautiful chair and truly a great video - so much knowledge to pass without dragging things out.
very skilled fine woodworker, imagine you can make it without template, that superb
Your best video in a long while. I watched the entire thing without jumping forward. That's my highest praise.
Beautiful build!
Not only is it a beautiful chair, there is a rare glimpse of Jimmy Diresta actually sitting down!
I'm here rom Jimmy's story telling me to watch this!
“I’m that much smarter now” and so are we Jimmy! Thanks for the inspiration to go try something new!
Love the honesty of you're projects 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful
Sweet project.
💚👽🤘🤘
Such a beautiful chair! And thanks for doing the voiceover. I love hearing your thoughts.
So inspiring awesome job
Wow Jimmy, amazing build - man and bandsaw in perfect harmony, looks like Mother Nature made it herself ! Great too hear you narrate the build. Thank you Rockler
5:00 in.... Humble Jimmy. Dude you're the man!
Great job
Simply amazing. This piece is beautiful Jimmy. I'm sure Taylor will love it!
This video is hiding in plain sight.
Well done! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Whoa! Pure art!
Pure!
From studying the carving techniques on the bandsaw from both of these people, I could not ignore the simular techniques. Only DiResta has the big machines that become invisible while working and the same carving techiques. Well done!
Just love the freeform sculpting of the back and arms. The finish looks amazing on it. Inspiring video, thanks for sponsoring this, Rockler!
You have the gift.
this is a dream project for me, thanks for the insight, Jimmy
Beautiful results. Great to see the experimentation an learning process.
Really enjoyed this one Jimmy! Traditional woodworking always scared me but the way you did this build makes soo much more sense to me. I want to build one now!
Awesome build - thank you for sharing and inspiring
You are so right about jumping in and learning. I started making longbow years ago, I was disappointed that it didn't turn out first try, but 4 or 5 bows later I had a winner, and I remember thinking that on each attempt I learned something and was able to do better the next time
Inspiring video and design! I “get” the idea of shaping to what “looks right” or “feels right “. What I have always refer to as “Eyeball Engineering “
Love the chair and the process Jimmie!!!
@jimmydiresta beautiful job 👍
Your bandsaw skills are second to none.
Bravo sir; beautiful work!! What a great way to show off your craftsmanship.
Great Job Jim, for going to school on this one. You did an excellent job to replicate from on future chairs.
Very Cool, I got Maloof's DVD's on rocker, chair, and barstool a while back, need to make them all.
Breath taking! Well done, well done!
Gorgeous Jimmy, amazing job brother.
Great video!! Big fan of Sam. Enjoyed watching Jimmy so talented and passionate about his work.
Really nice build ! Thank you for the very thorough narrative about your thought process. You are a good teacher - thanks ... (love that bandsaw)
Fantastic work as usual Jimmy. I learn so much from every video.
What an awesome video, thank you Jimmy and Rockler
Awesome video. Inspiring to watch. I've been wanting to build one for years!
Gorgeous!
A true master. So enjoyed watching, and learning.
Beautiful chair man!
Good work Jimmy!!
Beautiful!
Beautiful!!
this is really something Jimmy, great work
Beautiful work Jim.
Wow. I must admit I had never heard of you before and I had never seen any of your videos. I watched this video three times. I just love your attitude. Stuff like just drill the holes and don't worry that much about the angle because their going to get filled in anyway and then taking advantage of the curve that came from the assembly. I will now watch all of your videos and I will steal everything I can from them (I get the feeling that's the point). Such a peaceful, comfortable, profound way of constructing a beautiful piece of furniture. I really am so happy that I found your video. It will change the way I do things and take away so much stress - Thank You.
Lovely Chair. Very nice explanation. Thanks, Jimmy and Rockler.
Looks like it feels sleek :)
LOVE IT!!!!
Inspiring, amazing band saw work.
Amazing work!
That’s amazing, and very motivational. Just jump in and do it!
Fantastic!
A pleasure to watch!
I wanna make one now
Sam would be proud. Great work
Jimmy very inspiring to see your talent !!! I live up state NU
Love these beginners style builds.
Nice work Jimmy!!
Awesome job Jimmy. Art school was never a waste of time for you clearly . You can now say that you are also a sculptor.
amazing. Makes me want to try making one
Go for it Matt
Not much more to add to the comments, great work, thanks for sharing your talent.
That rocker is so fabulous. I would love to have had an apprenticeship with you. I imagine the little bits of information you provide would be phenomenal. Thanks for creating this video and sharing your gift.
Beautiful chair!
Awesome video @jimmydiresta definitely subscribed because of you 👌
Thank You 🙏🏼
