at first I was a bit shocked to hear your voice because I am currently binge-watching and this is the first video I encountered hearing your voice. halfway through the video I found it really helpful and soothing - you have a nice voice man 😂👌
yeah! me too! I thought his voice would be part of the mystery.
Totally the same
Me too!!! His voice is so nice!!!! 😊
I was just thinking the same thing XD

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I don’t miss any of his videos - this video just popped up and i watched it.
I'm really liking these talkies you're putting out now! I've always watched your videos as educational entertainment, and hearing your thoughts and reasoning on why you do something a particular way only makes it better.
Aways great to have Jimmy narrate. Very calming voice that draws you in. Like David Attenborough in the old "Life on Earth" series. Even if you didn't care about the content the presentation was so enjoyable. DiResta happens to cover both bases: great content and presentation.
Stunning results, loved the commentary and thought process
The brass is also really helpful in insuring the bond made by the wood glue. It also adds a little bit more heft to the mallet, which is sometimes useful. Beautiful work.
You've answered my question.
I really like the brass rings incorporated into the design of the head, they will certainly add to the life of this mallet with an awesome look. Great build as always.
I really love to see you building tools from scratch. I have absolutely no use for a mallet but I would love to own one just to watch it and touch it. I think I'm weird but I like tools.
I made a big mallet like that ages ago and absolutely loved it, used it for everything. But I was a kid when I made it, and I did everything the hard way. I've been thinking about how to make a new one for a goodly while, and I love how clean your process is. I think I'm going to borrow the way you cut that taper, that was slick as hell. Many thanks Jimmy. Respect.
I dig these small projects because you make it appear to be something anyone can take a shot at.
Not only is his videos interesting and
relaxing, but his voice is soothing as well. Not since the late great Bob Ross art painting videos have I said something like that.
Beautiful work. Great video covering the information required to make this mallet. Better than most videos I have watched for the same project. Thank you.
I love this format so much, I love his other videos but the commentary is spot on, great!
Was great to hear the narration and your thought processes while working in this one! Really like the hammer and brass rings to not only strengthen but give the hammer that old school look. You and the hammer reminded me of your old "Hammered" TV show. Appreciate the reference to "Jack Webb" Productions. That was cool.
That white oak is beautiful! Thanks Jimmy!!
Nice to hear the thought process behind the builds!!
Love these narrated videos. It's like a view into the mind of a madman. A wood-working madman, that is.
I love ur work, they look cleaner, more traditional and luxurious than others! Well done!
Such a useful and beautiful thing made so simply. Thanks for all the inspiration Jimmy.
JIMMY, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR !!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DO AMAZING WORK,YOU ARE A TRUE CRAFTSMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great job. You deserve to be very proud of your work. Thank you for sharing.
Love the new format where you are talking thru it.
Get well soon Jimmy! I hear that cold.. Great stuff as always! Cheers from the other side of the earth
Looks great! Now I need to make one since I gave the bowling pin mallet away at Steve's Make A Wish event.
well done again Jimmy. Good to hear your voice, sounds kind.
Keep on trucking, chief !
beautiful as always jimmy
outstanding work. easy to see the pride and craftsmanship.
Always the best! A man with real gold hands..
Another brilliant video & nice project. Thanks Jimmy...
I wish I had your ability, knowledge, tools, skills, work area, inventory, time, and everything else that goes into your wonderful creations :(
Your voice is so soothing! Loved the video!
great project & video. Neat tip using the scrap wood and sled for the taper. I always learn something new from your videos.
I dig the narrated videos!
I like the narration.... much better than the silent projects. Nice mallet.
Amazing Mallet Jimmy! Really enjoying the narration. Pretty sure you wont be throwing that one on the bench anytime soon! LOL!
Great job Jimmy, the Sanford and Sons record is killing me!
Awesome vid. I don't even care for this stuff but you had me watching the whole vid. Really interesting and gives appreciation to the craft, good job!
Hi Jimmy, I love everything you do. It did seemed a bit odd you talking over the video at first but you know what? I liked it. It was like watching a DVD with the Director Commentary on! Keep it up mate you are so inspirational, even to those of us over here on the other side of the pond.
These kind of videos need to go viral.
Really enjoying the commentary. Hope you start doing it on your other channel too.
Not hard to see why you're happy with that, Jimmy. Really nice job, as always.Thanks for another great vid.
Great mallet! Wonderfully proportioned and visually appealing. I also liked the other mallet on the table on the closing shot. I was hoping you'd put your mark on it too.
Love the narration and the work is amazing
Nice mallet. I like the voice over work too it gives some insight in to your thought process and design. Especially when you were explaining about the lathe and going slow, good advice. Consider me inspired, educated and enlightened.
I like his one Jimmy. Well done. You should be proud.
this video was so chill
Awesome job jimmy.
This is my favorite video yet!
loving your work Jimmy
seeing the circles forming at 6:08 is so interesting!
Well done! Nice tool that you should be proud of!
Nice design, I need to make a couple of job specific mallets soon and the brass rings are a nice touch.
Shame about the drive/live centre marks on the mallet faces but I suppose they'll fade with use.
It's something I used to overlook in my earlier lathe projects but now I take it into account and cut them off or mount the work in such a way that it doesn't leave them in the first place i.e. by using a chuck and a soft cover over the live centre.
Sou seu fã, vc tem muitos talentos, tudo que se propõe a fazer, fica excelente, parabéns.
Holy shit this is amazing
And being able to know what's going through your head as you're doing this is even better
your voice is very ralaxing sir 😂
To get rid of most of the sanding marks, I usually sand a finish with 180 and 230 grit sandpaper and after that I use the shavings of the turned piece to give it a nice polish. This way I usually don't have to polish manually and can go straight to sealing the surface...
Great Mallet Jimmy
Beautiful work
That came out beautiful!
diresta love the commentary. do more of that.
Awesome presentation and project man. Awesome voice too. You sounded like mark ruffalo
Diresta, you are doing great job and i have learned a lot from you :) maybe someday i will make my own woodworking videos :D
Beautiful Mallet and practical.
Order! Order in the Shop!

Appreciate the commentary!
Nice work Jimmy, and I like the Pichuto tee shirt!
more diresta videos!
Great video and really nice mallet!
really nice mallet ! good job
Very nice! Something to be proud of.
The mallet is not to do any work, it is to be admired. Nice piece.
Haha bang bang :D again an awesome video Jimmy keep up the good work! greatings from Belgium :)
Looks amazing!
i love that you talk on your vids
I'm liking the narration.
he is the best maker I know in the hole planet I would like to be like him I wish I was just like him man 👍👍👍👍👍keep up the best and great work and keep making the videos like this plese love it
So amazing! Nice job!
"Geometrically, I know that's parallel to the universe and the mallet."
All of space and time is Jimmy DiResta's plaything.
Haha 1:15 "like that, like that, Like that" Haha i can't stop.
great episode. its like watching a Bob Ross episode. (loved Bob Ross!) very entertaining.
That's totally what is!!!
Have you thought about making a small diresta brand for marking projects like this? Perhaps made from steel and carved out by hammer and chisel and dremel? Always fancied one of my own!
Awesome mallet!
Is there any function to the rings? Great video as always.
Incredible, once again.
nice job jimmy
Looks great! I do NOT like brass...however, you're MAKING me like brass! The brass accents you use always look great!
+Bruce A. Ulrich What's not to like about brass?
+justfakeit888 I just don't typically like the look of it. However, Jimmy is changing my mind.
like the commentary buddy nice to know what your thinking when your at work
Very nice. I wonder if the mallet will hold up though since its laminated?
A slower recorded speed and a narrative is better enjoyed than earlier shared silent shares recorded at the speed of light.
Are those Sanford & Son at 7:10 in the background? Anyway, great job as usual!
The "movie logo" you mention is actually the Mark VII logo at the end of every original Dragnet episode, and it was Jack Webb's hands in it.
Nice looking mallet
great work!!...but what purpose do the brass rings serve?....they can mark the materials.
OK another wonderful creation on the list to make... I'm gonna play hell getting caught up
Quite like the shape of the handle.
I honestly like the voice over
The 'in video' links do not work on iPad and mobile. If they were included in the description it would be appreciated b/c I would like to watch the specific other videos but have to figure out how to find them in the list of vids. regards
