The word "Hero" gets thrown around a lot these days, and depending on which way you're using the word, the meaning tends to get lost by the wayside. But as a 40 year old man who has only recently come into his own on matters of woodworking and other forms of "making", I am confident in saying that Jimmy DiResta is one of my heroes. What a damn decent guy.

This takes me back to the videos you made in the NYC shop, but with the added bonus of a voice over. Great job as always Jimmy, I hope you enjoyed the build
I fondly remember watching Hammered 15+ years ago and thought man this guys a super talented maker genius. I’m so glad I re-discovered Jimmy on YT a decade later and get to continue to enjoy watching his creative endeavors. Was also happy to see him pop up a few times on Ask This Old House, he would be a great permanent addition to that crew. Thanks for continuing to share your projects with the world.
I so still love watching, first on all of his tv shows and now on youtube these many years, the man I consider to be one of the very top makers. Many thumbs up Jimmy. Please keep the projects coming brother.
Get outta my head!!! Seriously, I was just cursing the Walmart boxes where all my leather stuff is. I was considering getting a set of Packout drawers on a dolly. But, I think instead I'll make the Diresta pattern end cabinet. Thank you for the inspiration, and the plans. I think first I'll need to make a finger joint sled jig. I thought about doing dovetails, then I thought about 7 drawers and a shop cabinet.... who needs all that time, worry, and wasted drawers on redo's! Let's just get this one done and get these tools into a good home. Thanks again, Jimmy. Love your content, love these ideas. I really appreciate the time you put into making these videos.
I’ve been woodworking since I was a kid and I still learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for keeping the interest and the motivation alive.
Good shit Jimmy. That little block trick on the sled is a great idea. I swear even after all these years I'm still learning stuff from your videos. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
I made something similar for my own workshop. 8 foot long, three feet high and two feet deep. In total it has 20 drawers. Four drawers in length. Top two are slim, next two are twice as thick and bottom one twice as thick again. I used plywood and pocket screws. It was the first project of that type and size I’d done, I was quite impressed with myself 🙂
Love every thing you do, my problem is I have a Legacy Garage. My neighbors father built the house and my three neighbors homes and it has a 30’ bench on the back wall 12’ of that is a typical 2x4 bench at one height the rest is part of the original kitchen that was just cut off and left in place, the over head cabinets are all odd sizes with limited utility all of the old cabinets are a three different top heights and the last 6’ is 12” deep to allow for the attic stairs. Translate that to workability it has very little space for rolling cabinets. My two roll always tie that up. I don’t want to hurt feelings ripping out the last of moms kitchen.
You always make everything look so easy. It really encourages a person to do something. You are a good man Jimmy Diresta. Art & Melissa from Ohio PS: Melissa thinks you should do a cooking show with Martha Stewart.
As someone struggling to manage inventory for at least 3 different hobbies, I'm thinking of making some of these. One for 3d printer parts, supplies, etc, one for electronics for various electronics projects, both for music and ham radio (far more in common between the two than most would imagine, and one for photography gear. But now to go stream some game play that has built in inventory management. Sometimes tighter than desired, but you get to fix that up along the way too. thanks. I'll use this as inspiration, probably doing more of a Baltic Birch frame. 1/4" ply or 1/8", for drawer dividers/shelves, and 1/4" solid for drawer frames. Not sure about fronts yet. Thinking of this as inspiration. I already have in mind document shipping boxes that I need to do box joints for, and will probably use something like JSK's router in a 5 gallon bucket as a router table solution for those. I don't have a lot of confidence in what I have as a table saw here. Last I tried to use it the blade wasn't solid to it's arbor. Doesn't make for confident cutting. . Thank you.
Happy to say I’ve been with you since you were zipping around the Village on your scooter and the basement shop and your original Spike (RIP). Now look at ya. I think you’re gonna buy a small town to fix up. DiRestaville😂
Jimmy what a great build I see this being something could definitely use i make stuff out of Para Cord , Dog leashes , dog collars, Belts and so much more and I have lots of tools I use and hardware so I can definitely use one of these. Thanks for sharing Sir you are a true artist and craftsmen
Awesome jimmy!!! Always loved ur channel. I remembered finding out about u from that leatherman mod... thank u jimmy.. looking forward to ur house reno series
A couple of tips to try for the bandsaw version (which indeed is tricky). 1. tighter band saw blade than normal. You really need to have it as tight as a drum. 2. a taller fence than the piece you're cutting. I use a milling machine 90degree iron for this. Small addition to this, the band saw, narrow blade, but with a smaller TPI. If you have the patience to cut a normal blade, to remove about ~3 mm off it, it's easier than to find them in "nature". At least here in Europe, they're quite pricey, so for the splitwork i do, i just cut a normal blade (with the TPI being tied to the type of wood i'm cutting, of course).
Stunning work, Jimmy! Beautiful cabinet!!! 😃 The only thing I'd do differently would be to put casters in it! Which you can still do, if you ever see the need. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado, para ser un aficionado a la carpintería, porque usted carpintero no es, no le quedo nada mal ese carro de herramientas, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecidísimo like desde Narón (Galicia)🔝👍🤓
Lovely "classic DiResta style" video! And great looking cabinet! Just to learn...gluing the side of the cabinet using the botton as a "guide" would be easier?
Love this! I also work on leather projects and this would be a great addition to my workshop! My problem is I don't have the equipment to make all this. Is there a chance all of the cuts and pieces could be made into a kit and shipped to customers who can then build the items? Just the wood would be ideal because then the individuals could decide on their own hardware and how they want to customize it. Thanks, Jimmy! You're awesome and I love catching everything you do.
I love your reasoning for diffident glues you used " I used Titebond 3 because it was next to me " Great video as usual Jimmy

“I never have any luck on the bandsaw”….
*goes back to watch all of Jimmy’s bandsaw videos*
I use that mystery Banana wood plywood all the time haha! Great build!
Crazy how long I've been watching your work. Great that you're still here, offering us a little peek into your world. Thank you.
This takes me back to the videos you made in the NYC shop, but with the added bonus of a voice over. Great job as always Jimmy, I hope you enjoyed the build

I love projects to support other projects!!
A place for everything and everything in its place
Your big sanding board is awesome. Thanks for the idea.
I so still love watching, first on all of his tv shows and now on youtube these many years, the man I consider to be one of the very top makers. Many thumbs up Jimmy. Please keep the projects coming brother.
Thank you! ☺️👊🏻👊🏻💪🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
love the phrase "sand it into submission"
How super convenient to have everything needed so close & findable. Thanks for sharing!
What's the difference between convenient and super convenient?
@@goldar4846 Super convenient is when the ergonomics are as good as imaginable, convenient is when the ergonomics could still be optimized.
Hi Jimmy. Always love watching you work. I always pick up a tip or two. Especially when you make multiples of something.

I love the contrasting wood colors and highlighted with the leather top!
I really like how white oak and walnut look together. I’ve done several projects mixing the two of them.
I’ve been woodworking since I was a kid and I still learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for keeping the interest and the motivation alive.
“Sand it into submission”. Love this phrase lol!
Watching since 2012...still get excited when a new video comes out.
Beautiful and functional...my favorite kind of build!
Would be perfect in my craft shed.
Great little cabinet! Thanks for showing us the construction. I need to make one of those huge sanding platens!
Good shit Jimmy. That little block trick on the sled is a great idea. I swear even after all these years I'm still learning stuff from your videos. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Addicted to your content since the reclaimed wood table video… thank you for the good times Sir 😊
Beautiful shop furniture❤
In my opinion you absolutely have the right to stamp Diresta on everything. Even your commentary is the best.
"Chooch-Up". Must be a New York thing. Haha. Have no idea what that means. Great video. Cheers!
always a good day when a jimmy's video release !!! Very nice cabinet
Well, We certainly appreciate you! Best wishes.
Really great looking piece of furniture.
I love your narrated videos. I absorb and internalize every word. Thank you!
This might be my next project. Thanks for sharing how you built it.
I feel like this is vintage Diresta!
Thanks for taking us along.
Love it! I need to make me one. 😊 it would take me forever, LOL. I just ordered my first table saw. Can't wait to use it.
Jimmy makes stuff.
No shit
Good boy! I take this as a reference for my chest of drawers project.
I made something similar for my own workshop. 8 foot long, three feet high and two feet deep. In total it has 20 drawers. Four drawers in length. Top two are slim, next two are twice as thick and bottom one twice as thick again. I used plywood and pocket screws. It was the first project of that type and size I’d done, I was quite impressed with myself 🙂
It looks very sturdy.
Brian!! ✊🏻
Great project. Was thinking towards the end "needs wheels" and then you immediately said the same!
Love every thing you do, my problem is I have a Legacy Garage. My neighbors father built the house and my three neighbors homes and it has a 30’ bench on the back wall 12’ of that is a typical 2x4 bench at one height the rest is part of the original kitchen that was just cut off and left in place, the over head cabinets are all odd sizes with limited utility all of the old cabinets are a three different top heights and the last 6’ is 12” deep to allow for the attic stairs.

That is cool ! - now my wife will want one for her leather tools.
I can't believe it's been 12 years congrats.

Pretty slick, there Diresta! Yes, the color contrast with the "banana" wood and walnut is really cool.
As always Jimmy, nice job. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Me and my boys have been enjoying watching Jimmy Diresta for almost a decade now.
Thank you! ❤
Happy to say I’ve been with you since you were zipping around the Village on your scooter and the basement shop and your original Spike (RIP). Now look at ya. I think you’re gonna buy a small town to fix up. DiRestaville😂
Great work, will have to give a go. Dados are hard on a table-mounted Makita portable table saw.
They is a great looking cabinet!
Jimmy what a great build I see this being something could definitely use i make stuff out of Para Cord , Dog leashes , dog collars, Belts and so much more and I have lots of tools I use and hardware so I can definitely use one of these. Thanks for sharing Sir you are a true artist and craftsmen
Looks like you brought home a friend from the cemetery house. 👻( LOL, door opening by itself at 6:44 )
I love it Sir, thank you for sharing I’m proud of you for doing what you do! I hope you have a happy Turkey Day! One love to all!
Following since the NY basement/David W. years!
Awesome jimmy!!! Always loved ur channel. I remembered finding out about u from that leatherman mod... thank u jimmy.. looking forward to ur house reno series
Been around since the beginning! Like your finger joint method.
You are welcome 😊 thank you for all the knowledge and fun
Perfect storage addition! Beautifully done!
You're one of my favorite CZcams channels. Thanks Jimmy.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Is the word “chooch” a technical term…?😂. It is when jimmy “The Chooch” Diresta uses it!! Bc he is the most talented man alive!😂😂❤️🙏🏻🤣
Beautiful job as ever
Hi mister Jimmy Diresta beautiful work professionally made beautifully done good job
That’s a beauty, I imagine several of those would be useful to me.
Another great build. Always enjoy watching you make things over the years.
Awesome job Jimmy! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
I loved “Hammered”, you & John were a pleasure to watch. The poker table you guys made for the social club was one of my favorite projects.
Love it. Yeah, I was thinking you'd need casters on it, a mobile station in your shop.
It would take me '12 years' just to build this one, LOL 😅 Awesome, as always!
Thanks Jimmy!
You never cease to amaze my JD. God Bless you
Great video and build. Extra Fancy! Mahalo for sharing! 🙂❤️🙏

Awesome build. Beautifully done. Thank you sir for that inspiring comtent.
I think Greg needs to be mentioned!! Kyle and greg are a package deal!!
Oh yes. Absolutely
Stunning work, Jimmy! Beautiful cabinet!!! 😃
The only thing I'd do differently would be to put casters in it! Which you can still do, if you ever see the need.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
OPS, you mentioned the casters seconds after I commented! 😂
Thanks for the 12 years of inspiration., I'll be here for another 12. Keep 'em coming, brother.
Thank you!
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado, para ser un aficionado a la carpintería, porque usted carpintero no es, no le quedo nada mal ese carro de herramientas, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecidísimo like desde Narón (Galicia)🔝👍🤓

Hello woodworkers friends. Hugs from Brazil !!!
Beautiful. Love your narrated videos. Thanks Jimmy! 👍👍👍
Hi Jimmy, that banana board could be made of bamboo, at least we get a lot of it in New Zealand
Greetings from Poland Jimmy! I love your work! :)
