  • In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy turns a pile of ancient 3x4s into a coffee table for a friend.
    For more info on this video, tools, materials, sketchbook images, and Jimmy's notes on the build, check out this post on MAKE: makezine.com/20...

    The spray paint hole-marking is friggin' genius!

    Mr. DiResta... I am at a loss for words... I not only admire your work greatly, but your quick video's are fun to watch. No fluff just really KEWL tricks, tips and super ideas on "HOW TOO" Please keep it up.... I love it

      dingguhlbary He lines up the board then sprays through the holes he already cut to mark where he needs to put the holes on the next board. It helps keep everything lined up

      Comrade Frost oh wow thanks! when he moved the first piece i thought the paint marks were already drilled holes. had to watch that part a few more times. thanks man

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection czcams.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    I'm scrap guy. Just threw off lenghts of all-thread, same size and everything, a couple weeks ago. I was like "hmmm, if I save these I'll NEVER use them." ! So I did keep a couple just in case, now I have some ideas of wht to do. Thanks for the inspiration man, your stuff is SO wonderful.

    This is the video that changed my life, just a few years ago I was a mare painter, I have invested money, time countless hours, trial and error. But today although there's wayyyy to much of a road to go still, I'm working as a carpenter's apprentice, and earning more money than when I was a painter! Thanks Jimmy, you have made a positive change in someone's life

    Ouch, got some sparks on some of the chop saw cuts. A handheld metal detector helps save saw blades when working with reclaimed wood.

    • @TomsLife9
      @TomsLife9 Před 9 lety +1

      J DeWitt that's actually a great idea, i was scratching my head trying to think of a solution for that. or maybe just cut slow so the carbide in the blade can slowly gnaw away at the nail instead of cutting quickly which might run the risk of cracking a tooth off the blade

    • @chaoticlogic588
      @chaoticlogic588 Před 9 lety +1

      J DeWitt Some of the more corroded nails tend to break off inside the material, therefore even with a metal detector it's difficult to extract without damaging the lumber. Sometimes it's faster just to use an older "sacrificial" blade.

    • @lass-inangeles7564
      @lass-inangeles7564 Před 8 lety

      +J DeWitt DIY That is a very good tip, brilliant!!! Gives me a reason to buy that metal detector in Costco now!

  • @elijahvivio1996
    @elijahvivio1996 Před 9 lety

    Just made a 39" tall version using 4X4. The circles (center of tree) in the end of the wood really made it look beautiful. I hit the thing with my fathers acetylene torch and it really brought out all of the grains and circles in the wood. Thank you so much for the idea. I just wish i could get what you think of the piece, i am loving your work.

    It's not a stain, it was a sealant. Now it can be put outside or used in rough conditions and not have to worry about the wood.

    like tseng9 said it was a clear coat, it brings out the woods natural colors and protects it it changes the color just as much as water would

  • @chinnerz2
    @chinnerz2 Před 11 lety

    1) easier than measuring and marking each bit of wood.
    2) heat either speeds up the reaction with the "darkener" or causes it to happen in the first place. (notice its a clear liquid that makes the metal go dark)

  • @farahdeeba1986
    @farahdeeba1986 Před 11 lety

    it was not spray paint it was a spray the makes the wood softer to make it easy to drill into. and melting the metal made it a bit softer and allows the metal to fill in all gaps between the nuts so that they never get loose, and over time as it cools the metal freezes into the gaps. Hope this helped.

  • @selador11
    @selador11 Před 11 lety

    The spray paint was to mark the spots to be drilled on the next piece of wood.
    The metal was heated so he could use the darkening agent on it.

    1. To make hole marks in the wood behind it. If you look when he removes the first one, there are black circles on the second wood.
    2. To make a seal. Think of making lock-nuts, but fusing the metal instead of using nylon.

    Counterbore. Countersinking is angled for flathead screws, counterboring is a flat-bottomed clearance.
    And I fully agree, would've been nicer to not catch on your leg as you walk by or something.

  • @LadyShyye
    @LadyShyye Před 11 lety

    HMM that's what I'm talking bout. my favorite part would have been the Sanding! For me I would have sanded down more to bring out more of grain, less rustic. Maybe clear stain, or light cherry or pecan stain. Loved this. Thanks for sharing. Got some pallets in back yard. gave some ideas! :-D

    I love this lack of fussiness. No glue either. I can see sparks fly, but there are blades which are specially made to cut nails and not damage the teeth. I worked in one place and all we made was from recycled timber.We had to be totally nail free, so we used a metal detector.Can i ask what that metal saw was as i have never seen anything like it before? A great minimal build.
