David Waelder Produces all Tips Videos!! - Jak na to + styl
Jimmy, you are the MAN. The part where you the drill to twist the picture wire was brilliant. Thanks for the tips.
Whenever you teach me something AND make me laugh, you get the thumbs up. Good job!
Oh, Diresta. You keep on giving and giving. Thank you sir.
Ok I just happened to stumble upon an old episode of trash to cash and holy hell is this gold. Jimmy is that really you
I can't believe I didn't watch this whole video the first time it was posted; the best tip was saved for last. I've lived in Liverpool for 2 years now and didn't know that Liverpool lumber was even there! Now I'm going to have to check it out since Dave recommends their pencils. Thanks Jimmy, Dave and Spike!
I love that picture hanging bit, "Is that where I said it should go?" I don't know how Jimmy kept a straight face.
I wasn't sure that I'd be interested in this video... but I watched it anyway. Glad I did. Respect ✊
Spike is one talented cat. Thank you again for your excellent tips.
love the "porcupine" idea and the birch plywood at the end!!
More inspiration to include cameo appearances of my dog Lucky. Haha. Another great tips and tricks vid. Great work Jimmy!
I was putting up a bunch of banister rails in an old house and discovered the joys of nogging. It's a whole new experience finding studs in those walls.
I love that Spike is a mainstay of these videos.
The start had me creasing! Excellent video guys.
Nice editing, Spike. I like how you cut to Jimmy doing something funny for a few seconds in between each segment of you.
This is one of the most helpful videos on youtube. Thanks Jimmy..
Breaking the drywall like that to patch the hols is genius! Awesome video, as always!
Jimmy....Thanks again for another great video.... I appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge...I am learning so much.
I wish I had this knowledge before I got married. I would not have ruined many a sheetrock panels and my wife's pictures would be level. Great video! thanks Jimmy
Love the big laughs and joking!!Great tip video
every day is a school day Jimmy. Keep 'em coming
These videos are super informative. I had no idea of more than half of these. Thanks for sharing!
Good show Spike. Keep those tips coming and Jimmy busy.
Learned a lot of good tips from you Jimmy!
Another excellent video FULL of useful tips! Thanks Jimmy!
today is the 2nd time i watched this just because one single thing i wasnt able to comprehend the last 6 months... i live in germany and i think thats a part of my problem ...
i was used to USE so many products on a daily basis which are just not necessary.
thanks to your videos i changed that. you inspired me to think out of the box ... (well at least out of MY box)
[example: i have no further need for Fisher dowels any more(just drywall anchors sometimes), which i used on a daily basis before... etc... french cleav. etc....]
last week i worked with a german master chippie , and when i showed him how i (YOU!thx) hang a "picture" on a concrete wall without a dowel his mind was blown.
Thats how we germans are ... we specialise to a degree where we loose the big picture...
i love your work. keep it up !
You only get better and better Jimmy... Keep up the good work.
jimmydiresta, you giving +David Waelder shit at the end was hilarious. classic tradesman/apprentice dynamic.
Remember: When Jimmy comes to install something, he will punch holes in your dry-wall. Keep the plaster ready.
Great video Jimmy! I really learned something. Your cat is really awesome.
Excellent video, again. Spike is just so laid back, he must be a hippy.
I use to hang ATM surrounds all over the country in all types of walls and have used almost all your methods but was amazed you didnt show one method I used on brick and tilt up buildings when someone for got to load or buy the tapcons or lead shields. In a pinch in a small town with no hardware store I use to drill a 1/4" hole in the wall and place what ever i was hanging and drive in 3ea 8 penny nails and it will hold the world. I love your site, you have some awesome techniques and you make great videos. Thank you.
The opening bit with spike using tools never gets old and makes me LMAO... Thanks much Jimmy!
I love these tip vids as much as your builds Jimmy, so much better than the tv in the UK.
Thanks for keeping them coming
Lot of experience put on video, as usual. Greetings from Argentina and thanks for sharing!
Awesome. I like the wood peg into the brick tip. Thanks Jimmy
Great tips! The two tips that impressed me most were " Jimmy's porcupine method", and the screw and screw gun technique to make stronger gauge wire. Thanks Jimmy...keep them coming!
great drywall patch trip. I have done a lot of drywall repairs and did not think to use your method.
Thanks for sharing"real world"experience. I do this kinda thing for a living and I even learned some stuff.
Great tips Jimmy D. That's help me a lot because I hang shelves and pictures all the time. Thanks keep sending us knowledge and tips. Thanks you from maker to maker .
Wow! I picked up a lot of GREAT tips on this one JD. Spike even taught me a thing or two!..LOL.. Dude You are spoiling Him ROTTEN!!! In the South, we don't say "He's Ruined"....We say "He's Rurnt" ....Spike is just "Rurnt!!!" ...Much Love Bro!... Have A Super Blessed Week!.....Gus
Always a treat guys. almost 20 years into it and there's always somthing new to learn. Thank you for your open and sharing attitudes. great set up. and glad to see spikes talents are coming along nicely.
Man that's a handy cat! Great tips as usual.
Please do more of these how to videos if you can, they're wonderful and helpful.
Thanks for the tips, now to make myself an ice pick!
This kind of videos are great. Not to take away from the rest of your works, but keep it up!
Really cool to hear you talk about Syracuse! Oh yeah and all the info was great too haha
Hahaha. So that's how you meet your deadlines. 3rd shift cat force. Really love your videos. I'm a 25+ exp high end custom cabinetmaker and can relate to all of your tips. Last video I watched where you asked for 1/4 of 17". Quick. Quick. Quick. Lol. So true.. I typically divide number in half then half again in my head. Anyway great work Jimmy
Loved the picture hanging part!
I like all your videos but it is nice to hear you talk and even more so with a friend there.
Thanks for sharing! Love the wood plug.
Since I don't have any tips, I give you praise. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have already learned soo much from you an spike. Spike is really becoming quite the talent lol
Slick, some nice tips and I couple I never even thought of !
Some good tips. I recently found these Wall Dawg hooks that work like the old drywall anchors that you would nail the plastic piece in and then put your screw. However, these combine the operation of the Ook hooks you showed and those old anchors. They have a wide threaded screw that you can drive straight into the drywall, but you drive it through a hook. Some of them can hold a considerable amount of weight...and you can back them right out with very minimal tear out of the drywall.
New York's Strongest ! A big fan of your videos.
I always learn a thing or ten watching them. Thank you!
Thanks Jimmy D. I loved your show hammered and always get excited when I see you somewhere. Recently found the make channel on CZcams then saw you in their videos. I wrecked my Harley a couple weeks ago so I have a few minutes, and I've been watching a lot of your videos. Man, I've been at this game a long time brother, and you've just taught me a lot. That's saying something. A lot of your pointers I've known a long time also, but some of these things are world-opening! Like that quick inspection hole you made, no big deal. But using the drywall's paper to tape the patch in is ingenious! And another video making a threaded dowel, I forgot how you described it but not how you did it. I can't wait to try it and try tilting the blade. Many thanks from the north shore of Chicago.
I have been a drywall finisher for 20 years. I have used nearly everything you mentioned. Another trick I use to find studs is to find the nearest wall plug. Every wall plug is mounted to a stud, Most of the time you can tell which side of the plug box is mounted to the stud by looking at it. but you can also tap around the plug box and listen for the sound difference and feel. The wall will feel stiff right on top of the stud. After you find the stud make your measurements 16" centered off that stud in whichever direction you need to go.
Awesome tips as usual Jimmy. To hang heavy industrial style shelves I use bed irons.
Jimmy, I really appreciate all of these Tip videos... I have been using your tricks in my shop and recent videos for the past couple weeks and its really made a huge difference! Your band saw tips video really helped address a lot of my issues and I am always happy to share its a Diresta Tip. Keep your Spike Paws Strong Brother... lol! - Brian
Loved the porcupine methood :) and the magnetic screw finder tip, but the video has a lot of nice info and things that I learned from .. thank you very much for being so generous with "trade secrets" .. have a good one
1.Fixing holes in plastrer: I usally slide a small piece of wood inside the hole and put a screw on the top and bottom of the hole, then insert the cutout, fasten with a screw, It is abit tougher, and the risk of crackling is reduced.
2. The hammer drill in tile thing: It actully works really well, its about preassure, give it a coupple of tries and you get it, ofc depending on size and how far you are from the ends.
3. Finding studs, you can try pushing the wall and feel for it. Worked for me in some situations:P
That is all i could come up with! Great video, great tips, great guy!
Greetings from Norway
Enjoying the tips video series.
Great video! Thanks Jimmy for all the tips.
Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing them. However, as someone who's been repairing old brick buildings in the Hudson Valley for the past 11 years, I'd like to point something out to your viewers about putting wooden plugs in bricks: Over time, as the wood expands and contracts with humidity, it can (and will, more often than not) exert enough pressure to blow the brick apart. Of course, this generally isn't a problem for the stuctural integrity of the wall unless it's done all over the place and at key stress points, like under a lintel or whatever. Try to only do that in a place where you know the humidity level will stay consistent and dry, like inside a climate-controlled house, or in consistently dry climates. The metal plugs are a much better option because they don't absorb moisture.
Again, thanks for the tips! Love your channel.
Spike breaths and nibbles so much sawdust he poops wood (funny one Jimmy). Good tips all. Thanks for sharing the secrets known only to professionals in the "hang it up" business (haha).
used to think a lot how to attach thing to the wall in our garage... There were no easy way until this point, I used the "porcupine" method and its great! :D It's very strong, amazing... Thanks for the great vids and tips, Jimmy
Some really excellent tips there Jimmy. Never heard of the zig zag screws before but looks great. Good to here someone saying DON'T use the mortar line! Cheers
Jimmy you are a amazing craftsman with a wealth of knowledge far beyond your years thank you for so freely offering help to those that take the time and interest to learn from your hard earned tool box of information and experience thanks again,all the best
Jimmy, this series is so great. I've learned a ton! I'm an art handler and hang things all the time and there are a lot of things in this video I'll start using. That porcupine technique is brilliant.
One thing I'd add as a tip is that it's always best to hang pictures, and mirrors from two level points rather than one. Not only is it stronger, it also helps keep things level.
I look forward to the next installment.
HAHA love the porcupine method, and the way you made the strong chain :)
Awesome. Keep these tips coming. I love the fact that you have included Spike!!!
Great video Jimmy. Thanks for the tips!
Tricky tips! I love that wall at 12:00!! It's really picturesque!!
Spike, you have brilliant staff!
***** I'm waiting for the day when tools start appearing in Jimmy's videos with SPIKE stenciled on them...
Thank you for this video. I always have trouble hanging stuff and you gave a ton of great tips. Thanks Jimmy & Dave.
Cool! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love watching both your videos.
I sure wish my teachers were as good at teaching as you.
Your tips videos are really loaded. Thank you so much for all the time saving ideas.
Thanks for all the tips!
I know I've seen others use this trick, but thought I'd share it as it's one I use often as a poor college kid.
When I want to drill pilot holes in something, and I can't find or don't own the correct size drill, I just use a screw the size I want with the head cut off as a makeshift drill bit. It's helped me plenty of times when I didn't have the correct bit or misplaced it.
Thanks again, and can't wait for more tips!
P.S. ~ Spike is one crafty Cat. :p
Thanks for always inspiring and helping with time Saving tips
This is an awesome series. I'm learning so much stuff from each one of the videos. Thanks a lot Jimmy!
I can't thank you enough for all these great things you are teaching man.. Your videos make a huge difference in my formation as a maker; and of many other I'm sure.
Lots of love to you brother.
Love the cat paws!
And now I feel dum again. Awesome tips thanks.
Excellent video--Thanks!
I really like your porcupine technique.
My 2¢
On toggles, I drill a 1/16" hole in one leaf and tie a heavy piece of thread as a tether. The thread comes out of the hole and I sandwich it between the wall and attachment. Then if I have to move the item, I'm not always losing toggles behind the wall.
For wire hanging items, I have a 1" strip of 1/8" hardboard with a knob on one end and a short screw on the other. I hang the wire around the screw head and hold the item by the knob against the wall. When the location on the wall is determined, I press against the item which pushes the screw into the wall, leaving a small poke mark for the hook.

Jimmy diresta Thumbs up for the pencil whisperer!
Jimmy, butterfly toggles are so 1980's. Try a Snap toggle (Hilti Toggle) and you will never go back. Ever. I have found that due to butterfly toggles having a "V" shaped profile that although bite when being tightened, will continue to bite further over time and loosen. Hilti Toggles rest flat and are a single piece of steel with a threaded whole. Waaaay stronger. And have a larger surface area behind the drywall (Canadian term) Lastly, smaller hole required and provides a somewhat finished hole. Great vid as usual.
Very helpful tips thanks Jimmy!
Love the videos! As someone else said snap toggles! We bought a new house and found out it has metal studs and I didn't know what I was going to do in order to hang my tv but then I came across the snap toggles and that all I use now.
Thank you, sir, for making these. This video is great
awesome Jimmy! love and respect to everything you do and teach.
These videos are excellent!
Great show, like the site banter.
I love these videos, even tho I don't ever do any DIY stuff like this
i have to tell the way that ou explain things is wonderfull....i'm in Portugal and it's great to watch and learn...
Love the tips videos, great stuff! Keep it up.
Very cool & useful instruction mate !!!
I learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you very much and greetings from a 22 year-old from germany. :)
damn, I learned a lot on this one, thanks Jimmy!
Great tips! I was worried for a minute watching Spike nail the wood into the hole that he might end up getting meowple tunnel syndrome. I think that cat needs a suit of armor ;)
You know, when one has a talking cat that can hang pictures, he should be the star of the show. Learned a lot, never loved drywall anchors, but that up and down angled screw thing seems like a great idea. That micro cleat is interesting, but seems to beg for a backer board, as it seems to short to span two studs and too much for toogle bolts in drywall. Also love french cleats as well as Hungarian shelves (which you didn't mention, probably yet :-). One thing though, I have used all of the stud finding methods that you showed and found that those eStud finders, really work quite well. I heard you mention that ice pick carry on a pod cast, seems like you could do a whole show on its various uses, or did I miss it.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks you.
So much goodness! Thanks Jimmy
