- In my latest workshop project, watch me make a brass hammer from an old brass coatrack that I found in the trash! Cast the stock that didn't come out perfect, but I am happy with the result of this brass hammer project… i’ll make more hammers like this to prefect the technique with a future hammer build.

Thank you!
One of the things I enjoy most about your work is that you are never a slave to either old tech nor new tech. We see a precision milling machine and an old draw knife used on the same project. I love that!
YES.
Tiny hands, brass, and a hammer. This hit all my DiResta checkboxes!
Oh look it's Peter, hello
Using the step bit to deburr the hole was a cool tip. And it was satisfying watching it spin on the bandsaw.
just an idea maybe you could cut the corners of the square part off to look like a hex, to look like your ice picks. or maybe a brass ring at the end of the handle. great work as always!
Josh Fick oh sir, you must be new here. We don’t tell jimmy what we think he should’ve done. We just watch the video and are thankful for the greatness bestowed upon our peasant selves.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏼👊🏼
There is hidden reason why it is square. Great idea Jimmy 👊
I came to say similar. At least relieve those damned points a squosh!!! :-( (but a fine project, regardless, of course)
I don't think there's anything that you don't do. That I love, You are by far one of my favorite channels. It would be a privilege. To work alongside you and learn. Hopefully one day I can meet you and Shake Your Hand. And tell you, thank you for everything you do. Please keep up the great work. I enjoy watching every video.
thank you!!
Must be nice to just hit the print button......😂😂😂😂
Amazing as always Jimmy!
Jimmy is a living printer
"I understood that reference" =)
and a new meme was born
'dem fighting words, right there.
This is DiResta at his best! Taking scrap and make something beautiful off of it. Reminds me a little bit of Trash to Cash. Nice work!
Kartoffel Heinz dude yeah! Jimmy did all the work and his brother haggled for him lol. Jk
Something I really enjoy about your videos is I can always get a sense of the object that you have created. The weight of the thing or the balance, or the feel of it in your hand. I really appreciated the end of this one. The first video I saw of yours years back you cut some steel back in your old NY shop. After you cut it you tapped it on some other steel and it rang. I was very happy to hear that and see that you have still carried on doing things like that. Makes the object real. Thanks man. Great vid.
Hammer’s are always nice, but I’m waiting for you to make a Flux Capacitor for time travel!!!😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘👍
So satisfying watching that hammer spinning round at the end! So clean
Coatrack was useful for years and years, now the hammer will be for years and years. That was really cool. Love the inclusion of more milling and turning in the vids. As always, great stuff. 👍
looking forward to seeing how well this cuts a burrito
Bryce Henderson lmao 😂
And there I was thinking "There's no way that trashy coat stand is solid brass." You can tell how pleased Jimmy is will the result by how much time he spends playing when he's done. A thing from trash. Inspirational. Now reforge the shavings and make Ice picks. A thing from the trash of trash. Imagine if this was how the world worked. Thanks J.
simple but beautiful. Kind of tool that you want to keep nice and feel bad using, but also the kinda tool that since it feels nice and looks good, you want to use it.
Watching the machine head cut through the brass, melts just like butter, so cool
There is nothing quite as satisfying as making one's own tools, and then finding them indispensable.
internet: how do your hands get all...
jimmy: I'm a drill.
When you were melting the metal it souded like something from the depths of hell haha. Great vid btw.
that was the metal screaming in agony as it was liquidated
Maybe that's why it's called the diresta devil forge.
I thought it sounded like a fighter jet hitting the afterburners!
It was Palpatine at the end of rise of Skywalker shooting force lightening from his hands.
Was no one else reminded of the 90's internet dial-up sound?
I think if you made the handle and the eye more of an oval cross section (as seen on most hammers, axes etc.), it would be easier to feel for accurate face alignment when striking, and the head would not tend to rotate on the handle. But hey what do I know. If it works, it works
I made a hammer like this when I was 12. Made the same mistake that Jimmy did. The head rotates in use. I still have the hammer head. Two things are missing on his design. The handle will fall off eventually because the hole is not belled on the top side of the hammer head. And the hole is round instead of oval. The quick fix is to cross pin it.
Just like when i started watching 100 years ago. Taking something dead and giving it new life. Love these videos.
After watching your videos for years I still can't get enough. Your ideas and application always amaze.
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Brass is such a satisfying metal. So much weight and the color is something else. And the resulting balance of that thing was crazy satisfying.
Aluminum bronze is nicer. Looks more like gold.
tried doing this with old coffee filters, probably works better when your trash is made of brass.
Can't believe that hanger was pure brass
That's exactly what I was thinking. Things were different back in those days.
Yeah... That's rare... would've restored that!
Why? Lots of solid brass items still being made... It's not gold.
Work of art. Love milled brass. So beautiful
The whole video I was thinking, 'that's a very basic looking hammer'. Then at the end the display of balance that design has is insane and very cool.
Thanks Jimmy for sharing your adventures!👍👍👍
Does anyone remember when you could see all four walls of Jimmys’ shop at once? Lol
I aspire to evolve like Jimmy! Because he hasn’t changed.
Reminds of the Original Jimmy....basic, all hand made, old school tech, nice to see every now and then again.
Amazing work! Always it's interesting to see how simple things make masterpieces.
What a fantastic use from old copper, I love it
Hey Jimmy, you really are the best. You always do it with a lot of dedication and you are very careful in the final details. I am an accountant in Brazil and in my free time, I spend most of my time watching your videos. You are excellent. Congratulations!!!
There is something incredibly satisfying about the hammer spinning at the end.
Love it. 👍
great upcycle!
Thor would be proud of you !!! Great video and Educational / Entertaining ...............Stay well my brother
Gotta love your vision, where some would see trash you saw a hammer. Then you made a pretty sweet hammer, love the spalted handle. As always thanks for your inspiring work!
You should make a miniature hammer using the waste from that one. #Hammerinception
Then make a microscopic hammer with the waste from that one..
Hi Ryan. If you like miniature stuff. You might like my latest video.
Offcut from the top of the cast could have made the wedge for the hammer shaft, giving a nice top accent.
Just waiting for jimmy to block you for talking about waste. Lol
@@Lazywatchsmith is it a porno
Love the baby hand push sticks
Beautiful job Jimmy, one of my favourite videos of yours - simple, ingenious and resourceful!
An independent 4 jaw chuck with a scroll!!! Nice!!!
You and your street finds.....love it...!!!
That hammer is sheer poetry in tool form.
So simple, yet so elegant. Nicely done.
I really enjoy seeing the things you create!
Hammer spinning was brilliant! Thanks as always for an inspiring build.
Looks great, good to see more casting. I learned to put the crucible straight back in the furnace after pouring, which reduces the risk of it cracking from cooling down too quickly. Looking forward to maybe seeing more CNC or 3D printed patterns for sand casting or lost foam casting.
Alternate title could have been "Trashy Fidget Spinner, Diresta Style". Awesome example of reuse and repurpose. Thanks Mr.D!
Again jimmy totally blowing away with the whole process from melting the bronze and making a Beautiful bronze mallet wow 😊😊😊
Unique and beautiful !!!! Love the handle that complements the brass !! Keep them coming Jimmy !
Im still fascinated with your freehand skills, and it works👌
wow that band saw is HUGE! cool video
Nice to see something made workout cnc machines for a change.
I like this channel but seriously has anyone ever loved their own name as much as Jim diresta?
no one I believe he addressed this in the past by saying it’s a copyright of sorts since his vids get reuploaded a lot.
@@embeaston yeah, ok cheers, but still.
Of my 700+ videos across the internet I need to keep branding alive.
@@jimmydiresta fair enough buddy, keep up the good work.
I think this deserves a 2.0, using a casting sand, i think you would come up with something cool
Your work is just lovely. It’s a joy to watch your videos.
There is another great product idea! So nice!
What a fantastic job you made for that.
beautiful hammer, and looks like it's weighted well.
Spalted handle is a very cool touch!
Jimmy, best use of one of those 80s coat stands, EVER! Magic to watch as always mate.
awesome. but "diresta" at 07:13 slightly tilted
you can plug the holes in the brass with brazing alloy using a propane torch or the Tig torch
I would not have guessed you could get that much brass from a coatrack. Very cool!
I get it, it’s all about the journey!.....Very nice hammer!.....You are a rock star!!
Heard about this on the making it podcast, you did not disappoint!!! 👍👍
Love it. I think more of a tack hammer would be bit better with brass but that's probably me thinking about what I'd use it for
Even the hammer looks nice! Good Job!
Very nice every shop needs a brass hammer
The gold balance hammer.. great job 👍👍
That kiln is serious! Good shit!
10:38 It's perfect for that late night shop game of "Spin the Hammer".👍👊😉
Whoever it points to gets to hit their thumb while putting a nail in a piece of wood
I had faith there would be a spin the hammer comment.
If Jimmy Diresta and Adam Savage ever got together to build something, the sheer awesomeness of such a thing may in fact tear a hole in space-time and destroy the universe.
Looks cool. Great mix of technique casting brass and carving the handle.
I was already missing the small hands
yeah, who is this guy?
At first I thought that the square/flat sides was a dumb idea... but at the end you show why it's an excellent idea! You can put it on the edge of a table and it won't fall off :)
Almost time to go over the hammer collection again! Beautiful work, Jimmy.
The spalted handle is pretty. 👍🏼👍🏼
This is a great video! You can look at your work endlessly ))))
Never a dull moment in your videos. Awesome as always.
Nice workmanship! Trash to treasure! Awesome,
Nice!
Respect from KSA Jimmy
Everything Jimmy touches turns to gold. : ) Beautiful hammer. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Such a creative mind! awesome project
Absolutely awesome, from a piece of junk to a beautifully crafted hammer.
Found on the streets of East Durham, New York!
Never cease to amaze! It’s a thing of beauty.
Amazing Projekt. Love it.
Awesome hammer Jimmy. Love your work man.
Awesome job again Jimmy.
Great video Jimmy Diresta!
Hi Jimmy !Wow good idea!Nice work man !Great Job !🤟😎
That bandsaw is almost the size of my entire workbench. Awesome video also. I would love that hammer
Great work!
I was surprised at how much brass you got when you melted that scrap down
Parabéns pelo trabalho, eu adoro ver o processo de fundir, é uma alquimia dos grandes artistas! Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
What an awesome hammer and use of scrap metal. I love it!
What we can do with the right tools and expertise... 👏🏻👏🏻
What a coincidence, I just watched Black Bear Forge make a hammer last week!
Thanks Jimmy!!! It must feel good in the hand!
I'm back to being impressed...beautifully done Jimmy.
Wow, doesn’t take much I see...
@@themanthemyththelegend1392 well let me see what you have made lately...cause I'm easy.
