Fun fact: When you say HAMMER in germany, its either the tool, OR a statement like KILLER/HOT/AWESOME. Not that anyone asked for it, just had to think of it.
That's nothing - the skew chisel without tool rest at the end is crazy. I have soiled my pants more than once with this tool - on the wood lathe WITH a tool rest....
That trick at 11:48 of holding the tap vertical with the drill press is inspired. This is what I like about your vids Jimmy! I think this video is a good example of why historically people leave grumpy comments on CNC videos. We are all spoiled with being able to see the high-level of craftsmanship as it's happening. Not that the craftsmanship isn't there in CNC projects, it's just much less visible.
I’ve only done very basic lathing without much direction, and you’ve just shown me a basic way to make very nice curves and tapers. I think that freehand razor blade sculpting is brilliant
Come on Jimmy,be honest with us you really didn't have a plan when you started making this gavel,but the juices started to flow and another masterpiece is created.Thank you so much for allowing us to look over your shoulder once again,I am continiously inspired by your inspirations🤗🤗🤗
Interesting design & materials with elegant, gentle & decisive execution on the lathe. In the UK gavels are often made of Box wood, both the head & the base, but this has a more higher pitched component to it which is interesting. Just hope the judge does not forget where his/her non-hammer hand is when dealing with disorders in court and clouts it by mistake. If ever does will not need reminding a second time. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jimmy! if you put some tape around the end of your tool on the lathe when doing brass the chips will just fall down not fly everywhere. just wrap it around the end and start a cut it will tear only where the tip is
The style of the video (not to mention the end product itself) reminded me of the hardwood mallet you did for Make in 2013. I dunno if maybe I have a thing with mallets, but I found myself feeling that same sense of “where is this going? 😃” and then that big payoff where it all *clicks*. For those wondering, this is Classic DiResta 🤘🏻
I’m still pretty sure the balls on this man are second to none. Free hand turning brass with a razor blade and chisel. (At least clean up work) in all my years of TH-cam commenting, JD is still the only one I have seen do this. Keep changing the world Jimmy!
Everything is amazing but my ocd with things can't help but see the irony in advertising precision tools shortly after making the threads nonconcentric with the rest of the handle
Cool project! Always learn something watching your vids- your use of a razor to finish curves was unique. Great to hear of the special offer with Starrett. Still producing quality tools here. When allowed take a plant tour. In the meantime NYC CNC filmed one a few years ago. (We have added considerable amount of modern machinery, but still have some old ones producing)!
I love the "difference" between Abomb's approach and Jimmy's more artistic, by eye approach. I like both but it's interesting to see both artisan's way of working. Great content. Thanks. Paul
Have to say, I thumped myself on the forehead when I saw the centering tool on the backside of the tap! But of course! Jimmy always teaches me something new!
Of all the amazing tools he has in his shop, Jimmy uses a razor blade to fine tune the shape of the brass. I kept hoping he wasn't going to cut himself on it. EDIT: Brass, not bronze.
A solid brass gavel for a judge? Wow. He must REALLY want to get people's attention in his courtroom. BAM! BAM! Court in now insession! (He might break his bench with it!) Great. Also the best use of an old library card catalog case I've seen yet.
Really amazing work, Jimmy! 😃 My father watched with me (he loves work with the lathe) and he said it couldn't be nicer! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I am not ashamed to admit that projects like this are the reason I have a serious man crush on this guy! You constantly inspire me, Jimmy! PS when are we getting another farm shop update?
Jimmy, little machinist trick if your brass chips are flying everywhere wrap the tool with a few rounds of tape. it will force the chips away from you instead of spraying you in the face.
Very nice work, was wondering about the bass rod insert till I read below, you didn't make a mistake you had a "happy little accident" ( misquoting B. Ross) looks great and I bet your friend the Judge puts it to good use soon.
Machining brass freehand with a razorblade is the most diresta thing I've seen all month.
Simplicity is the best answer sometimes.
When you go into slow motion suddenly - there is now so much tension in my head thinking something is going to go wrong. It's suspenseful!
Me too, I was ready for something to go flying off the lathe!
Not going to lie,,, this is the Jimmy I fell in love with,,
Now it’s just ads and sales pitches... I don’t think he’s made something for fun in the last few years p
**baby voice** this guy has to.... *sniffles*....make money to survive. 😭
Tommy pouty I have fun ever day. I make fun every day. And money.
Aww jimmy shillresta and his rattling pan got upset.
@@tommypouncey5667 thb i don't get it; i saw no ads (premium
Every time the video slows down I get nervous waiting for an accident to happen. Lol
SAME!
SAME!
It scared me him using that razor blade as a smoothing device 😫
ahah me too!
Same here.
that gave me some "old time diresta" feels, nice!

Hey, a video sponsor that actually makes sense with the video. That's rare nowadays.
Very true .. those "skills****" promotions don't really scream "I know what I'm doing".
Coronavirus: In these uncertain times... DiResta:
That's a pro-move right there.
This could go wrong in so many ways AHAHHAHAHAHHA
That's nothing - the skew chisel without tool rest at the end is crazy. I have soiled my pants more than once with this tool - on the wood lathe WITH a tool rest....
Still cant believe what I saw. And I idiot sandpaper stuff until my hands are wrinkly.

3:43 😳 Why get so close, your beards going to get caught!😂😂😂 It's the brush!
Machinists: You can't turn brass with a razor blade.
Jimmy: Watch this.
Nice treat for a gray Sunday...a Diresta video ..thanks. I like your style and am in awe of your talent and skill!
I was having creative constipation - watching this got me back in the right headspace. Great video - thank you Jimmy!
Through so much hard work and talent from Jimmy and others like him, Justice, and art, will be served. Here's to the next American renaissance!!!
This is why I like your style. You think so far outside the box, you throw the box away and just have fun.
Congrats to your friend, and thanks for sharing the versatility of the simple boxcutter blade!
Hello Jimmy, as always your work has impressed me and I'm surprised. You Are A Master! Thank's. Like it.
I’ve only done very basic lathing without much direction, and you’ve just shown me a basic way to make very nice curves and tapers. I think that freehand razor blade sculpting is brilliant
Perfect combination of machine skills and artistry. Excellent!
Awesome work Jimmy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... You really did it justice! 😉..... 🧑🏻⚖️⚖️
I love to watch a true craftsman with a lathe , It amazes me what you can do with one great job and project 👍
I learned a couple of new tricks on this one, especially threading on the lathe. Thanks!

I had a sketch. Not very tight one
Hear Ye HEAR Ye the courts in session the Honorable James DiResta presiding.. Beautiful my brother .. Stay well Taylor and Willie and you my brother
Jimmy " I'll just go to my drawer of brass rods " :-))
This is so satisfying watching you turn that brass on a lathe especially by hand with a razor blade.

I enjoyed watching the video edits on Instagram. It made me appreciate the video more and look for the edit points. Great work as always.
It was super satisfying watching you turn that metal... super sleek finished product!

👊🏼👊🏼
This channel and the Essential Craftsman’s channel have greatly inspired me (and certainly many others). Thanks for the great work you do, Jimmy.

You've got a lot of brass making such a great looking gavel.
Hear ye, Hear ye! This machinist class is now in session! the Hon. Jimmy Diresta presiding! All rise!

When allowed take a plant tour. In the meantime NYC CNC filmed one a few years ago. (We have added considerable amount of modern machinery, but still have some old ones producing)!
While the craftsmanship in the end product is as outstanding as usual, the video storytelling has reached a new height. Bravo, sir!
Thank you 🙏🏼
I can see you use the “hammer till it’s true” method when indicating in the lathe chuck.
I love the "difference" between Abomb's approach and Jimmy's more artistic, by eye approach. I like both but it's interesting to see both artisan's way of working. Great content. Thanks. Paul
That thing gives new meaning to dropping the hammer of justice excellent work my friend!
I don't judge, but that's some great lathing
They'll be hearing that in the back of the courtroom! Beautiful! And using a razor? Epic!
Making things looks so fun. Your imagination is your limit. Except your imagination is unlimited!
Have to say, I thumped myself on the forehead when I saw the centering tool on the backside of the tap! But of course! Jimmy always teaches me something new!
Neet trick with the box cutter blade @Jimmy Diresta
Of all the amazing tools he has in his shop, Jimmy uses a razor blade to fine tune the shape of the brass. I kept hoping he wasn't going to cut himself on it.
EDIT: Brass, not bronze.
Court is now in session with the Honorable James Diresta presiding. Well done!
Just wondering why you bored the main head and then pressed in the part for holding it,as opposed to turning the stubs into the head?
Honestly I cut off before I thought about holding 😇
@@jimmydiresta I suspected that!
jimmydiresta thats a smart improvisation!
jimmydiresta - We love your honesty. Love you Jimmy!
Love the hand sculpted aspects, reminds me of the brass chess pieces you made. I noticed you used the side of the utility blade and not just the edge.
Perfection. Years of skills shown in 15 minutes. 🙌
A solid brass gavel for a judge? Wow. He must REALLY want to get people's attention in his courtroom. BAM! BAM! Court in now insession! (He might break his bench with it!) Great. Also the best use of an old library card catalog case I've seen yet.
Wow, really shows how soft brass is. Never thought a razor blade would work.
I feel like I need to appear in that courtroom to hear that AMAZING gavel sound. BeUtiful as always!
This is a truly wonderful video, Jimmy. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe brother. All the best from North London UK
It's like a rough arse clickspring. Love it
Really amazing work, Jimmy! 😃
My father watched with me (he loves work with the lathe) and he said it couldn't be nicer! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Everybody stand up!! The Honorable Diresta presides over the court!!! xaxaxa
Really nice work. That was so cool to watch. Thank you.
Beautiful work. A nice counterbore in the head would make the handle disappear into when screwed tight. Looks great. 👍🏻👍🏻
I learned many things by watching jimmys videos. I remember those segment from trash to cash.
This is for when people in the court room are getting extra rowdy, the judge hits his desk with this shit people are gonna hear it for sure.
I am not ashamed to admit that projects like this are the reason I have a serious man crush on this guy! You constantly inspire me, Jimmy! PS when are we getting another farm shop update?
Thank you !
Next vlog
Excellent job with some very interesting techniques...hats off...top
One of the most talented and nicest guys ever!!
Nice work!
I think the key to keep people watching is to up the sketch-factor every other minute or so, well done!
Nicely done. Great gavel.
Well done Jimmy been following your work since early 2000
Thank you 🙏🏼
SO AWESOME! You need the wooden base though so you can get that dull loud thud when the judge bangs the gavel down. Still badass though. 🤙🏼
Cool hand work on brass love me some Starrett tools and made in USA thanks for the vid
First Adam savage makes giant nut and bolt, now diresta with the gavel...I’m digging it
I’ll never get sick of these videos
Got a buddy named Maxwell? You can make him a silver one. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
Kid's day in argentina, and this video is my gift!!! Cool!!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼..
Jimmy, technique or no technique, you are still the best.. Keep up the great job... I thought you are going to buff the gavel.
Love and support from Pakistan.
Keep that spirit alive Jimmy, an inspiration to me always.
The band saw and lathe God back at it again making this awesome piece.
Very nice, the Judge would say, "NOT GUILTY".
Jimmy, little machinist trick if your brass chips are flying everywhere wrap the tool with a few rounds of tape. it will force the chips away from you instead of spraying you in the face.
Beautiful mallet and block.
Very nice work, was wondering about the bass rod insert till I read below, you didn't make a mistake you had a "happy little accident" ( misquoting B. Ross) looks great and I bet your friend the Judge puts it to good use soon.
Nice Jimmy i remeber making a meat tendriser in shop class in high school. Can wiat to see you next project.
Brilliant machining
Will Come in Handy when judging the "GREAT GUITAR BUILD OFF"!
"So, what'd the judge say, Jimmy?"
"Case dismissed."
"Really? How'd you spring that?"
"I guess it was my mettle."
My senses tell me that this is performing 1/10 of your last videos. A beauty!
Awesome video. Thanks Jimmy.
Just lovely! If I had a metal lathe, all I’d be making would be mallets and hammers...
Beautiful gavel! As an addition some rubber, felt, or cork underneath the sounding block would've made it much louder/able to ring.
Beautiful work Jimmy!
If love to see a tiny anvil as a gavel block! 😄
Now THAT is a solid understanding of the hierarchy of materials.
Great job Jimmy. Hope your enjoying you summer.
Nice job as always Jimmy. Not to second guess your approach, was there a secondary purpose behind the reamed hole and press fit 3/4 bar?
Honestly forgot to leave the plugs to hold on. Needed toad them
Love the gavel 👍👍
Another banger from Diresta
Vintage Diresta, it takes brass balls working with that razor!
Order in Court!!!
Diresta reis iş başında 😀
👍
Another masterpiece, great work as always 👍🏻
