For this project video, watch as I show you how to make a vintage style 2 stage traditional blacksmith bellows. This blacksmithing bellows pumps air on both strokes of the pull arm! At the end of the video, watch as I use a drum break forge that I welded up from materials that I found. Enjoy!

Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I usually don’t like it when I get a subtle safety hazard in a shop environment but, I have to say that angry router laying on the work surface from this view makes me think twice before doing that again. Good job Jimmy!! You probably saved my fingers. Love the videos and all the things you create.
Sometimes I like to pretend the giant machines are normal sized, and Jimmy is only a few feet tall.
?
You are so creative.
I think its safe to say that we're all blown away by your craftsmanship
My favorite part is how he left the router running while he moved those clamps around, Jimmy you are an animal! Thanks
The 10-ice-pick-patterning technique is the coolest and ripping leather strips on the table is the scariest thing I've ever seen you do 😂
Jimmy here is using some modern technology as a short cut.
In the days before things like batteries, they had to use their own breath to power their nail guns. Some smiths would have had an apprentice do this for them, and the most well-funded of smiths may have had a horse or an ox to power their nail gun
;)
The white vise brought back some memories from way back when Jimmy painted all his power tools white.
DiResta double tap! Today is a good day!
I've been using bellows since 2008 and made many pairs since then. I have tried many variations of each component there are several things I would recommend doing a different way for longer reliability. There is a missing check valve in the nozzle, this is a major safety issue especially when the bellows are positioned below the firepot. coal gas is able to flow down the tueere and back into the lower chamber of the bellows between heats causing the bellows to explode. I have had this happen totally destroyed the bellows beyond repair sending the contents of the firepot 20+ feet in the air.
Good to know that was a thing....
That router safety, damn! How Jimmy is still alive is a true mystery 🤣
And yet he is Captain OSHA

The router had me on the edge of my seat, and then the bandsaw made me wonder how he can still count to ten! Years of being in tune with the tool I guess.

Some kind of scissor mechanism to take full advantage of the full range of motion of the bellows. The rustic, faux hand tooled look of the air spout is a nice touch.
For looks of it, its two "lung" system where you pump the first one to fill the second one that due weight and gravity keeps supplying nozzle with somewhat constant flow of air, instead of normal bellows on/off/on/off/on/off flow.
When you can't find them, MAKE them!!! What a build, beautiful!
Such a cool build, but the thing that made me smile was catching that glimpse of Aaron’s picture in the background! I think Matia approves of the bellows!
Watching the magic of Jimmy using a bandsaw never gets old to me! 😄
You've ear it a thousand times but you can handle a thousand more. "YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION".
Very cool! This is classic DiResta. This project have you the opportunity to use a whole bunch of different skills.
That's not a router left spinning around on the table. That's is Jimmy yanking Safety Sally's chain. Love your creative mind Jimmy.
A thing of beauty and a joy forever... but with that attention to the stencil and NO overspray, can we be sure this is the real Jimmy DiResta?
Seeing the bandsaw blade track straight through the vertical cut on that log was the most impressive thing I’ve seen all week. P
That's one reason DoAll was instanly successful some 80 years ago.
The troll food is high in this one... Love it!
It felt as though you were making a giant set of lungs and such a fine result too: when your steel is exactly hot from the forge and isn't showering lots of sparks! A true heirloom bellows.
Epic double acting god of wind, directly linking back to the Smiths of the ancients. Beautiful piece of anvil circle making too. So uplifting, smile & delightfulness making! Thank you for sharing!
Im just glad the oscillating tool gets some damn respect around here! Very under-utilized and under-appreciated tool right there!
Probably the coolest build I’ve ever seen. So many elements and skills at each step really stretches the mind toward problem solving and creativity. Thanks.
Jimmy, I just don’t even know where to start on this one.
There’s just so much to love here.
To start, when I first saw this, for one I thought it was a LOT smaller, and I thought it was an antique you had found. Then to watch the process of it coming together was a real showcase of so many of your skills and problem solving and engineering on the fly. I’m no bellows expert so I’m still confused how this even works but it’s so god damn cool that it does. The cold forged ring around the tip of the nozzle looks damned near perfect, that was awesome to watch. All the troll bait is just icing on the cake.
The last week or so has been real deluge of incredible videos, you are on fire, my friend.
Love all the wigglesaw action!!! Great build as always!
Haha. Jimmy trolling with the running router.
I don’t know if I’m more jealous that you have the skills, ability and equipment to make this, or that you have the opportunity to even try to make this - excellent work Mr. D.
I love it, when I saw the title I thought you were going to make a smaller one to use in the Sauna that you moved, nope go big or go home! Great job, it looks fantastic!
"Is... Is Jimmy cutting a lap with a band saw?
Jimmy's cutting a lap on a bandsaw."
_Nice_
Jimmy, your bandsaw skills never cease to amaze me!
Wow, I think that is first video about building this thing on YT...
Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱 🍻
Leaving the router running like a gangster wow 👏 🙌
I knew where you wanted to go. I just didn’t know how you were going to get there. Thanks for taking us on the journey. Great job!
He truly is the bandsaw whisperer 🙏
Wohooow that’s a massive bellows!! Good job Jimmy, good job - like always 👏👏👍👍. Best regards from Germany.
Making a smaller one of these to use with my BBQ smoker has been on my bucket list for a while… this video has certainly moved that project up several notches!!!
I've been wanting to build something like this for years and now I have a how to! Thanks!
Legend has it that Jimmy had his heart broke once. He put wood glue on it.
When I was first learning blacksmithing. It was in a historical village. The blacksmith shop had a set of bellows like this. I miss using those old bellows.
I love everything about this video!! I was anticipating that final piece you were forging to be some mundane hook or something to hang a dust pan or brush or something from. Like you went through all this work making this huge bellow, just to forge a little specific little item... 🤣🤣
I watch all of your videos, but for some reason almost didn't see this one. What fun this was watching!!!!! Awesome!
All these back to back uploads are a Christmas dream come true and it ain’t even Thanksgiving. You the man Jimmy
best maker channel on the tube.
It's amazing how fast he works!
What a life! Thank you for the inspiration. Keep up the good work. More please.
I love the troll bait!
When I saw the thunbnail I didnt even imagine you could make bellows this big, yo
I can never get enough of your technique to make circular collars by banging them into shape.
Your videos keep my creative mind going! Thanks
Good job Jimmy Diresta beautifully done i like your work
In my opinion this is one of the coolest things you have made. I have always wanted to make a bellow, and I love upscaled shit.
😍 isn’t leather amazing? Sew it, glue it, screw it, run it through a circular saw! Love it!
Great job Mr Diresta.
Great job, so nice to see something different made on CZcams. Thanks
Great idea. Love the look and build. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know why but it is just most mesmerizing thing to watch stat thing work. Great work Jimmy
You have such an amazing mind and skill to put it together. Always amazing work.
Now, that’s more like a new DIRESTA video !
Thanks 🙏
Can't wait to see the bellows you install on the stadium pipe organ build.... interesting build!
Beautiful job Jimmy 👍👏👏👏
Astounding work, every time.
Already looks antique. Amazing as usual
I know it's too late now, but you should try watching Jimmy build something when you don't know what he's building. I missed the first minute or so of him building this huge bellows, so you can imagine what I was thinking..?? Huh? But just for the heck of it I didn't go back and check to see what it he was building!! Try it! Start watching this video not knowing what he's building. Is it an alien deathray? A huge flower? A weird kind of game? Some kind of lawn ornament? A new contraption to sort nuts and bolts? Oh what could his creative medieval madness reveal? Pretty funny. Then when I first realized what it was, I laughed and said "of course it is, it's obvious!" Great work Jimmy as always.
That’s awesome Jimmy!!!
The Wood. The Leather. The Steel!! The Fire!!
Sick one again Jimmy!!
The master of creativity the legit MAKER diresta..good to see more video idol...thumbs up!
very cool!!! great built
16:20 Good thing you had all those ice picks handy :) This was a fun video to watch and as always your creativity and skill is outstanding!
Again an amazing project of of your hands! I've been a fan for a long time, and follow both your CZcams and podcast. Your skill and Bravery to tackle crazy projects is inspiring. I'll keep watching and listening, even though my ears bleed every time I hear the sped up router, but the fine cutter takes the cake. Wow a noise :)
Would be fun if you assigned an instrument to every tool, and replaced them in editing, I'm well aware that I'd be a lot of work.
Keep up the good work Jimmy.
Best regards
Morten
Yes the router was harsh. Not sure if he sped the footage faster than he normally does but usually every video I watch for him sounds decent or funny or quirky. I had to skip the router portion, that's a first.
I have an actual old bellows close to the same size. They look remarkable similar - very cool!
great build! Amongst the most complex builds i've seen you do
That was fun to watch thank you
Interesting project. Thumbs up and thanks for posting!
loving all the new camera angles!
Eres un verdadero Genio!!!
El Leonardo del Siglo 21........
I live your projects!!!!
Beautiful !
Wow, that bandsaw! What a beast! 👍
So cool! I’ve always wanted to make one of these to use for a traditional smelt
Now that's blowing a lot of hot air. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
A true Master Craftsman. Great work....
You never stop amazing me with your builds!!!! Epic bello!!!!
That moment at 20:59 - so good after all that hard work. Well done Jimmy.
Cool project Jimmy, and don't worry about the haters that helped their grandparents forge back in the 1970s, lol!
Talent !
Going back to the old way, excellent 👌
Troll bait level :::: over 9,000!
Incredible!!
You got so much room in your new shop keep it up your gonna have to double it up
amazing job
New video! I’m happy!
Nice job Jimmy!
awesome build jimmy.
Fantastic build Jimmy !!
Man, that bandsaw and sander are a beast. :)
I am calling this a "Double Video DiResta Day"! Nice work Jimmy on that bellows. Now you need to hook it up to a mechanically operated foot pedal device! 👍👍😉😉👏👏
Very clever Mr Bond
Heck yeah buddy!! love it!!
