That turned out great Jimmy. I love your method of lining up those drawer handles, I filed that away and will try it the next time I install handles.
Absolutely. Amazing how the smallest things can still blow your mind!
It was epic. I would have never thought of that. I always learn something when watching Jimmy's videos.
I call myself technically inclined, but I wouldn't have thought of this method in a million years.
I agree, very clever use of geometry ... I'll have to remember this. I've used intersecting lines to find the center, but I've never considered just making them parallel to find the exact spots that quickly.
Hey guy,
I just wanted to let you guys know that I just checked my Subscription box and I seen that Jimmy DiResta uploaded a new video. I just want to tell you guys how happy I am. I have been bored and lonely searching the youtubes for something to watch, and when I noticed that DiResta had a new project for me to enjoy my boredom faded away. Let's all enjoy this video together.
That has got to be one of the strongest desks I've ever seen. As always, awesome craftsmanship, Jimmy. Truly inspirational!
Awesome work, as an old tradesman who's been off the tools for years, your channel inspired me to get into my wee workshop and have fun. love dirty money too .
Thank you Mr Diresta.

Behold, a desk of unparalleled construction, with durability and style! I love things that are overbuilt.
I have said it before, and I am sure I will always be saying it: You are awesome! I totally love your woodworking projects, and you have a great eye for mixing metal and wood.
The layout for the drawer pull holes is awesome!
Jimmy, your creativity and execution always amaze me. Keep it up. I love what you do!
I loved the method you used for lining up the drawer pulls Jimmy, I'll have to remember that one in future. The desk looked great too, with a lovely solidity to it.
Thanks as always
That trick to finder the centers for the drawer pulls is f'ing mind blowing. I had to go back and put that at 1/4 speed to see what you did there. Thank you for that incredible nugget of info.
+Tony Dew yeah I was seriously impressed with that trick - so simple and useful.
Beautiful work. I'm going to remember that drawer handle placement trick at 10:47, nice bit of practical geometry right there.
no music no talking but cant look away, so compelling and interesting to watch. oh and the piece is beautiful as always
You never cease to amaze Jimmy. (And your watch is still pristine!) The trick for centering the handle is great...going to run to the shop and try that out!
The centering method is great, so much easier than all the other times I've done it. Had to pause it a couple times to see what you're doing, but I got it. Thanks!
TOTALLY!
Beautifully done. Also I have never seen anyone figure the drawer pull placement like that, what a great idea.
10:46
I have never seen this way of marking out drawer handles.
I have installed at least a few thousand drawers with the same D handle used here,
Genuinely amazed
Thank you i will try this, and will probably use that method for the rest of my life,.
Neat trick with the Drawer handle centering. None of these master carpenters and cabinet makers I work with seem to know about it. Keep making.
That was impressive. The engineering to be able to get that monster out of the shop was impressive. The finished product was beautiful. I'm sure the customer was thrilled.
Love to watch you work combo style. Metal and wood. Great vid and project Jimmy.
Ogni volta mi fai rimanere senza parole..... Sei veramente bravo...
Very Cool, Lots Of Hard Work, Absolutely Earth Quake Proof for the secretary to get under it!
Another Fine Video of A Very Fine Earth Quake Proof Desk!
Thanks Jimmy
So good job. Great tip with the drawer. Thank you jimmy
I had to watch the handle install a few times to figure out what you were doing. Brilliant technique for locating the mounting holes. I'm writing that one down. Thanks!
The genius that is.... Jimmy... Thanks man.. This is one of your best!
It is great fun to see Diresta works
The wolds strongest desk! This is awesome! Whoever gets these pieces is very lucky :)
After seeing that technique for marking the drawer pull holes, I had to pause the video and reevaluate my life for a minute.

Great design, looks amazing!
Dear Jimmy, you keep surprising me with your craftsmanship. Another piece of art from you.

It would be awesome to see a video with Jimmy and Jody working on something, a collaboration of some sort. That would be an awesome video. 2 amazing craftsmen.
That looks like one heavy ass desk...beautiful job jimmy! Love that rough pine look
Thanks, Jimmy! I have learned quite a bit from you. I've always wanted to learn how to weld, now I think I will go out and do it.
idk what it is but my thing recently is drinking beer and watching woodworking videos. the combination is just euphoria for me. I wish I had a shop like that. haven't made anything since high school wood shop class but I miss the smell of saw dust.
I wish I had half of your creativity. Great work as usual!!!
im so glad youtube now has the playback speed now. this vid is even more awesome in 2x. love your vids jimmy!
