Thank you !! Enjoy!

Woah. This build has it all. Mad bandsaw skills, bondo, and a faux finish that is too notch. This will be the only rusty thing in Adam's shop.
DiRestas build skills along with more time and care than usual shown on this one. What an amazing finished product. The tips and tricks I learn from Direstas channel are priceless.
Watching a genius at work is a privilege that you tube has given the world. Imagine if Michelangelo and Leonardo De'Vinci were being filmed and copied the amount of beautiful art works that would have come from that undertaking! Well Mr. Jimmy DiResta, I put you in the same category and I am so grateful for the experience.
Hey! Cool to see Jimmy recognizing Adam's channel. Adam should have way more subscribers. He's such a cool guy and extremely skilled.
Yes, absolutely, at least 2.674million subs.
He’ll get there. He just has more of a Niche channel.
Agreed ✊🏻
Things I learned. Cut the letter all the way through. Penetrating epoxy is a thing for making MDF nicer to paint, those coatings. Damn, this was a good vid. Thanks!
Glad to see you and Adam booth working together
**WARNING** if you are wearing headphones take them off.... too late, Jimmy, just blew my ears off when you droped that metal sign 😂😂
If you've W10 just activate loudness equalization (or get an extension for your browser of choice).
I saw your warning a little late. He got me as well. I saw the metal sign and couldn’t turn it down fast enough 😂
yep, immediate video stop and dislike
HUH? HE GOT ME TWICE. HOW BOUT YOOOU! 😏
i was reading your comment at 11:55. lmao
I know you've said people complain about your sign videos, but I always learn so much from watching them. Thanks so much!
I would say Adam and Jimmy are on the same level,both extremely talented and likeable,keep up the great work.Thanks for your time.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✊🏻
As a follower of Adam, I was lead to this channel. Superb. Thanks for recognizing Adam, who is worthy.
James Scott Adam is a sweetheart and great teacher 🤟🏼👊🏼
That's gonna look awesome hanging in Adams shop!
Seriously though Jimmy, it may be old for you but watching you on the bandsaw is mesmerizing. Perfect for going to sleep.
If you throw it in some EvapoRust, I’ll bet it will clean right up. 🤣
My thoughts when i saw this
That'll kill the resale value.... ya gotta leave it all old like....
If he could...you know Adam would...LOL
I wonder if you can mix enough steel dust into the final coat, so that it can actually rust...?
@@HandToolRescue could clean up that micrometer.
I love both you guys. great project and video Jimmy!
Adam is a great dude. He's gonna love this sign, Jimmy.
This takes me back to the "Bandsaw Tips" days with Spike . Love the band saw signs Jimmy! Thank you for the inspiration!
When the CNC doesn't work...
Jimmy: hold my beer!
This video just bring me back to the "Real" Diresta of 5 years ago
I was bored to see a machine working. This is the REAL Diresta.
You're not so bad yourself. Makers like you areJimmy's legacy.
That is the coolest sign I've ever seen. The rusty finish looks SO REAL! Awesome.
I love the that the filler looks like welds - awesome effect. I'm sure Adam is going to love this!
That finish is ridiculous! Looks so real. What an illusion. Nice work Jimmy
Isn't it amazing how good people group together. Jimmy makes a little bit of everything and Adam has a machining channel. Positive people being decent humans on the internet showing how to actually DO something and bringing you along. So many good things on the internet that we should ignore the negative and realize we are privy to some special peoples lives. Thanks to all the video makers !
Okay, this is one of my new favorite builds! I love the close up camera shots on the details. Super sweet finish!
The painted bondo between the letters looks just like a weld. Excellent faux finish!
Great to see the master of the band saw back in action. 😎😎😎
Adam will be proud of that. Great work, looks like old rusty steel.
It looks so.... HEAVY!! Jimmy Diresta is not a human
Soo nice!!
Amazing work from a master craftsman.
Thank you for inspiring me to work with my hands. Your videos are definitely one of the things that led me to make the things I make today, and help me put food on my family’s table. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime. Thank you for teaching me to fish Mr. Diresta. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
The bandsaw videos are my favorite
Ill bet ABOM79 will love it. Really does kinda look like rusty iron on screen, hope it looks as good in person.
Nice one Jimmy.
Jimmy is THE BEST!!! Other youtube“ makers“ would call this“ project“, and probably make 5 episodes of making this sign. Love Jimmy's work.
you're construction/composition approach is amazing...cutting the C frame on the Micrometer and making it recessed was inspired! would have never thought of that...
Excellent finish! I love when you doing that old school stuff.
You and Adam are both awesome! Love it!
Love it. Adam’s logo has made the rounds over the years but this is my favorite 3D rendition. The faux rust finish is just icing on the cake.
A fan tip. For Bondo, I just like to use an old car window from let's say a triangle shape window and use that for a bondo mixing board. Easy clean up and I feel like its my artist's pallet for painting.
I’ve lost track of how long I’ve been subscribed to Jimmy’s channel - this is just pure artistry!
Who thought fibreboard could rust?
Excellent old school signmaking.
I’m always amazed at how Jimmy never waists a move. Watching him cut the sign parts was mesmerizing.
Much love for Adam and Jimmy! Both are master craftsmen, and it’s wonderful to see this!
Nice.... I love that one cool dude is helping another cool dude.
Really nice finish. Said it before but it is still true, this is loaded with the kind of theatre set and prop building skills that you just don't see anywhere.
BTW if you are turning a bunch of things like that you can rig up "drop sticks" to make it go quite fast. Basically clamp up a rod behind the lathe and cut sticks that will drop when the depth is right. They ride on top and when you cut is deep enough they pivot on the rod and drop. Really simple and speeds up making repetitive turnings a lot.
As always fantastic work and I learned something new!
Really cool idea, Jimmy. Nice job and I'm sure Adam will love it.
Holy crap, Jimmy. That's about the most impressive thing I've seen you make. And that's saying something.
Oh man that thing is absolutely beautiful! Abom-sized and all!
I like how it has that rusting metal look. Nice job, Jimmy.
Great job Jimmy, and thanks for stopping the video to show the products you used for the finishes, at first I thought my feed had frozen on me. In the past when you have shown the products you used it’s been hard to see or read the labels so I appreciated your stopping the vid so my aging eyes could read them.
This sign is a fricken masterpiece! So many creative solutions throughout. Can’t wait for the Patreon voiceover on this one! Excellent work!
Watching Diresta creations come to life is just like magic. I am really mesmerize at your artworks. Such an inspiration. Thank you
That's a really convincing finish, you can still see some of the sanding marks on the faces of the letters and it makes it look like they were milled flat.
Jimmy, you are always a pleasure to watch. You picked the wrong channel to make a sign for, but I'll forgive you. Nice work.
So much more enjoyable to watch you work instead of a CNC machine
It was perfect until you rusted it, everybody knows Adam isn't going to let anything get rusty! lol You have a very good eye for compound angles. Of course body filler helps if you miss it a bit. :-) Your sign making skills really shined in this one!
bcbloc02 thank you brother!! 👊🏼✊🏻
The filler actually gave it some "welding" details!
This build made me really happy. It reminded me of your older builds from years ago. I absolutely love the finish on that sign...very cool effect.
Seriously fine craftsmanship goin on here....top
I love watching elite artists going about it
That finish is INSANE...
Great work! The bondo joints look exactly like welds with that finish.
Cool look. I kept checking the time on the video to see when the foundry was gonna get fired up. two more steps and you could've cast this is real metal. Still look awesome.
Yeah, pretty cool to see how that can be done. That's a proper sign for Adam.
I was listening to the Fitzall podcast this morning and I heard about this video. What a great job you did pulling this off. You never fail to inspire me. Thanks for what you do.
So many techniques at work here. Proves you’re still my favorite artist on CZcams!
Who would have thought to use "Bondo" as assembly glue?
Cyril Hudak well... jimmy of course. He may be the only one too!
Bondo used as glue? epoxy as a sealer? MDF that looks like metal? Jimmy, you're wizard among makers.
Nice to see the Maker at work!
When I saw that on Instagram I thought it was steel. Awesome effect with that paint. Brilliant job as always 👍
Beautiful! Rarely does one maker spend so much time sanding something only to see the finished product covered in that much rust
A classic diresta video. Great job.
You’re a magician with the bandsaw.
Watching this at 1:15am.. Two seconds in, everyone in the house is now awake.. Thanks Jimmy ;)
Very cool build! Can't wait for the metal sign that looks like wood!
That's amazing you did that 'by hand'. Sure you had a pattern - but at the beginning of the video I would have guessed you CNC'd the whole thing.... awesome
Love it! Using the actual metal and rust finishes is such a cool way to make this feel real!
Man! Now you have done it. Adam will spend months trying to restore that Mic back to its factory-new satin stainless finish! LOL! Freaky Awesome!!
I am amazed every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for sharing your gift. It's so very inspiring.
CNC is cool but it’s nice to see some old school bandsaw work again!
again you took something simple to a work of art , the finishes are incredible . you're a true artist
can´t wait to see adams reaction to this awesome build
Beautiful Jimmy! Bonds welding, great finishing, and some bandsaw tips I picked. Thanks as always for inspiring my creativity.
I LOVE that finish. I have some myself! Used it on the pickguard of a guitar. I learned the hard way that trying to use rattlecan clear coat over it completely ruins the finish. It reacts with the patina solution and makes it just look horrible. What I found that worked was the fixative spray they use for chalk pastels. Not durable, but it keeps my hands from turning orange when I touch it XD
That is absolutely beautiful bravo Jimmy
Thank you Jimmy for your wonderful videos and ideas!
Spectacular, Jimmy! Wow.
Is Jimmy the greatest bandsawer of all time? The Michael Jordan of bandsaws?
Mattius is pretty good too
Wouldn’t the correct term would be band sawyer? Jk, but yes.
The fact he still has all his fingers is testament to this!
@@machineshopatthebottomofth3213 He did have a pinky sewn back on, but who's counting right?
Spike is the real king of the bandsaw.
Holy hell, I can't believe how GOOD that "iron" finish looks!!! If I didn't watch you paint it, I'd not believe it's not really ferrous!
Love that finish! Still got mad skills on the bandsaw! 👊🏻😜
Your bandsaw skills are so unique. It is kind of meditating to watch them. ♥️
When you did that rusted paint trick I was like WHAaaaAaTTTt!! Awesome!!
The king of band saws.
Very cool Jimmy, Adam's going to love it.
Oh, freaking sweet! I love both of your channels. So cool to see you make something for Adam. He's such a good dude.
It's nice when may favorite CZcams maker and machinist work together.
*MY EARS!*
EDIT: that sign looks heavy. Nice work
I watch his videos with the sound off because of that exact noise
redman jones nothing wrong with that. I was caught off guard
Such a clever piece Jimmy! You did it again!
Jimmy wants the rust, Adam fights the rust... He would never let his big boy mic get rusty!
Applause. That was really impressive.
I was amazed when you started working on wood in the beginning! I was trying to find an explanation for that but only understood in the end after you started painting it.. amazing job!it really looked like rusted old metal sign
Before I watch the video and read the description, I really thought that sign is made of metal.
Jason Kwok thumbnail got me too.
Even if Adam doesn't win the Four JAW competition this year, he's going to be consoled by this. Noice.
Beautiful. Nothing beats a good ole finger slather of Bondo. The finish was impressive.
Awesome, It actually looks like steel. Cool trick using Bondo as a filler and a glue.
Something you can do that's awesome is put some rust on just the edges of a piece, and then dab bits of toothpaste on the rusted spots kinda randomly. Then, spray some gloss paint over the whole shebang and wait for it to dry. Then, you can rub off the places that had toothpaste on it to reveal the rust underneath! Prop the piece up and spritz it with more of the patina solution for rust streaking. Looks amazing with white and with that 1950s surf green/turquoise.
