Amazing work as always. The fine detail on the boot bottoms and on the jimmy icon man is fantastic!! You really put your heart mind amd blood into every project you make jimmy. And it shows!! 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻
Love the tools that were used, it's a salute to the people who had previously worked with them and the people who created them ( new and old, tools) plus yourself for keeping them alive, love doing bit of leather work myself. A great process to watch and a fine quality end product.
Brilliant simple designs, sized to standout on clear backgrounds, strongly sewn, any colour you want, slim for tight pockets, each saying buy me, I am what you desire. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! People use the phrase " jack of all trades, master of none." Jimmy is the master of all trades. Wood, metal, leather, plastics, photography...it's awesome!
Welp, I have a new project for my laser printer and fly press now! That is one of the issues watching Diresta's videos - chocked full of ideas and stuff that I now HAVE to do.
Is there anything you can't do. I love watching your videos they inspire me to create projects and makes me challenge myself to do better every time. Love everything you do Jimmy keep up the great work definitely looking forward to your next video.
Ingenious use of the scrap material to make the placement forms. Now you have me thinking of other ways to use that concept. That's why I like you, you're a catalyst.....well, you're a pretty nice guy too. 😉👍
I love that fly press. What a machine. Cool wallets! I wish I'd had that discount code when I bought new Carolina boots two months ago. Little late on that one, Jimmy. 😂
jimmy I am from Syria my friend I am very happy that I have been following you since 2010. You are a wonderful and very talented person. I hope to meet you. Thank you for all your beautiful craftsmanship. 🙏👍💯🌹
Beautiful, Jimmy! Amazing looking wallets! 😃 I love to watch leather work! Some day I want to try it myself as well! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I love this wallet design. It's very similar to the one I carry. I made it about 10 years ago from a design I saw on Kickstarter. It desperately needs replaced. 🙃
This is how Norm Abrams lost me. " We simply move over to our left handed compound miter pocket hole daddo mortiser and shave a thousandth off!" LOL Not having any of that machinery you have just makes me watch more. Still love Norm to!
I was excited for this video when you shared your thought and design process for this wallet in Making It, but it was even better that I imagined. Do you think a bench vice would give enough pressure to do the imprint? I’m sure I could carve negatives in old cutting boards with a rotary tool, right?
A bench press should give plenty pressure, especially if your negative isn't crazy big. I apply smaller stamps (~1" diameter) very comfortably by hand. A stamp the size Jimmie is using, I clamped with some F-clamps. A bench vise should be fine as well. I used printing press dies of an old cartoon (3 windows side by side) and some carved shapes in hardwood as well. The wet veg tan leather is really easy to shape, just try any method and there's a good chance it will work ;-)
who would have thought it takes so many steps and effort to produce it. it only makes sense to do it in batches, and it still feels very labor intense. the final results are very impressive. I wonder how much they will be going for?
Gotta say. i am curious what woiuld be on the tool wish list for someone like Jimmy Diresta. When you have an industrial leather press like that lol!! I wonder how much such tools get used on a weekly basis. Super cool.
Thank you all for the kind words ! The material used for the Dies is Corian .. left over from the trailer build
Those look like shit quality
The boot prints are like a Diresta/Carolina version of a snow angel!
So fun to watch!
👍👍👍👍👍 and love the foam brush hack.
It's so wonderful having my wood cutting bandsaws back up running at my place. They are wonderful
Amazing work as always. The fine detail on the boot bottoms and on the jimmy icon man is fantastic!! You really put your heart mind amd blood into every project you make jimmy. And it shows!! 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻
Thank you brother
@@jimmydiresta you’re absolutely welcome Jimmy. 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻
Those boots just keep on walking.... What a great use of found materials and your skills!!!!

There's nothing this guy can't do. Simply amazing
Typical off the charts DiResta! Amazing work as usual.... 👍👍😉😉🥾🥾
Such a unique wallet. Leave it to you to make sure I love it! You have great taste. That is why it's so fun to see what you're up to.
Slick! Love simple wallets. Been carrying a simple card wallet for years. 👍👍

Just like in manufacturing, jigs and fixtures streamline your process! Nice job, Jimmy “Leatherman” Diresta!
Never seen a power skiver before. Thats cool. Very nice wallets too. Made one like this myself and love it.
Love this design Jimmy. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Edit was cool. The skiving machine was cool and I liked how the corian gave it that texture. Great job. 👊🙏
Great intro and exit to the video with the foot prints in the snow....
You make some of the coolest stuff, not only products but content as well.

@@No-One-of-Consequence Boom!
Very Cool
They look good! Smart move to use the negative cut offs for alignment.

Beautiful, Jimmy! Amazing looking wallets! 😃
I love to watch leather work! Some day I want to try it myself as well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
The drums they always grab my attention.
As always a joy, would you be so good as to do a video tour around your workshop, I remember the program when you were under the street. Thank you
Grate video as usual jimmy, love how those wallets turned, this inspires me to get back into leather work 👊🏽
When i first saw this I was like, what the heck is a shoe wallet? Thought it was a wallet for your shoes. Nice craftsmanship!
Nice! I would totally buy a wallet kit.
These boots are made for stampin’ and that is what they’ll do 😎
And one these days these boots are gonna stamp all over you.
У вас золотые руки Джимми!!! Восхищаюсь Вашей работой!
I wake up on a Saturday morning, grab a cup of coffee and see this before starting my day. Does it get any better? I don't think so! Thanks, Jimmy!
🙏🏼👊🏼
Perfekt,du hast Profi gemacht. Ich liebe alle dein Produkte.
Danke bro
Lovely design! Thank you very much for the great video.
You do AMAZING work!
very nice, awesome work by a great artist.
Awesome work Jimmy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Great film, always a cool story. Dope wallet. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )
Jimmy, you need to put these up for sale!
I'd love to have one with my dogs footprints!
Много лет смотрю этот канал..золотые руки!!
Jimmy I clicked I like it even before I saw the video, I already know for sure it will be a good job. Un abbraccio
They look great. Cheers Jimmy and thanks for sharing ;)
That's pretty neat!
Great video and product 👍!
I love this wallet design. It's very similar to the one I carry. I made it about 10 years ago from a design I saw on Kickstarter. It desperately needs replaced. 🙃
Would love to see some videos revisiting your first attempts and how you have grown in skill over the years.
Killer. Love the use of hand tools and machines. Thin wallets are my favorite. Great style.
Brilliant! 🥾
These are awesome. I want to try pressing my logo into some leather.
This is how Norm Abrams lost me. " We simply move over to our left handed compound miter pocket hole daddo mortiser and shave a thousandth off!" LOL
Not having any of that machinery you have just makes me watch more. Still love Norm to!
Very cool. A lot of work goes into that. They look like they’d last a long time as well.
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
👊
But you forgot to ask the big question, how many direstas does it cost. I mean dollars, ffs its like hypnosis all you see is direstas
Dude I never knew you could use a laser to engrave aluminum! That's slick!!!
The laser cut was in Corian
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
@@jimmydiresta dude it looked like aluminum lol! 🤦♂️ still I never knew a laser could engrave that's dope!!!

Wood may show the wood grain of the stamp, which might be a cool effect. I use a few f-clamps or long throat c-clamps and that seems to work.
who would have thought it takes so many steps and effort to produce it. it only makes sense to do it in batches, and it still feels very labor intense.
the final results are very impressive. I wonder how much they will be going for?
Very cool. I sure wish I had the tools that you have.
Thats one nice press.
I always learn something from your videos....this time it was "you can never have too many clamps"😁
Only thing from Carolina I know was Carolina reapers...
I'm learning so much...
Definitely one of your coolest leather projects to date. Would you consider making the files available so we can 3D print our own stamps? Thanks!
Sure send email to jimmydiresta@mac.com
Great work...Jimmy are top maker ciao
I need your clothes, your boots, your motorcycle........& your DiResta Carolina Shoe wallet !!
Good job Jimmy
Pure skills 🙌
Gotta say. i am curious what woiuld be on the tool wish list for someone like Jimmy Diresta. When you have an industrial leather press like that lol!! I wonder how much such tools get used on a weekly basis. Super cool.
We don't have any snow at the moment, but we had a white Christmas 😜 (after 15 years).
GENIUS!!!!
I like so much your products
That’s cool, man! Greetings from Russia!
Classic Vibram sole design
Coming Soon Carolina Wallets!!!
Very Cool !
What is the initial material you started with? The grey stuff that looks like some sort of plastic
I think he said it was corian. Can't remember if it was on Instagram or on Making it.
@@Torsan1977 awesome, that would make sense
I thought it was aluminumand I was thinking, "that's some awesome laser!"
On second look it was probably Corian.
I was wondering the same and guessing it was acrylic. Good to know it's Corian.
Yep Corian
@4:23 - Jimmy DiResta proves that not even he really ever has enough clamps. :)
Beautiful, and useful
Love leader work.
Hello Jimmy Diresta good job
MAGNIFIQUE BRAVO ENCORE DU SUPERBE BOULOT.

Sou seu fã, assistindo do Brasil 🇧🇷👊

Bom dia excelente final de semana pra todos
very cool!!! great job!! So what was the material u used to make the dies with? What kind of glue u are using? I use the Barge cement.
Hello Jimmy! I really, really enjoy your videos. In which video do you make your gaffer boxes?
Thanks for this amazing video! Can i ask what is the material you used for the stamp for laser engraving?
Great video. Can I borrow your sewing machine? That thing is awesome. Love the press too.
Pretty damn cool brother. What was the silver metal thing you carry that you picked up next to the ice pick before the knives?
My pen!! xoxo
@@jimmydiresta ohhhh. Fancy!!!
Can you slip a sheet of RF blocking fabric between the leather to make the wallet RFID blocking? 💡
Excelente, como sempre
Genial!!!
