Beautiful. Very liberating watching you go at this project. My dad did some woodworking so this brings back some memories of working with him in the shop, the freedom of carving something you can have pride in, and that rich delicious smell of black walnut.
I sat in a forest and would hear the birds sing. I was cut down so Jimmy could make things. I felt his hands push and pull. I just thank God I'm not a salad bowl.
Listening to the podcast it really made me think about being too precious with wood. I have a variety of small pieces that I'm saving for the king's shoes that I realized that I should probably just use up. Great build.
I did this just 2 days ago with some mahogany that I had prepped for another project... a couple of years ago that didn't get off the ground, and I was like, "but it's mahogany" and then I looked at my STACK of reclaimed mahogany I've got (quite a lot) and I was like "yeah yeah ok ok - fine I'll use it and prep more IF I ever get around to doing that project".
"Saving for the king's shoes" What a great phrase. Am currently sitting on about a dozen 10 & 8/4 slabs (accumulated over a while) that I've been saving for something special. I guess I should try to make something special then.
Sam Maloof loved the wood and always waited until the design called for that piece of wood to be used... Other times he designed the piece to fit the wood ... You picked the right man to inspire your design here. Great work.
I love your approach to projects. I'm an illustrator, and at this point with enough projects under my belt, I don't like to overplan from the beginning so I can let whatever I am doing become what it needs to.
Incredible build. I like how you used the disc sander to get those flat joints. Really good lesson in how to stay free in the build. That total boat looks awesome. The boots are incredible too. Hopefully Carolina gets a chance to film some live sessions with it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥👊✊💪🤠
As a person who works in the field of renovation and carpentry, I must say that you are wonderful, you have excellent and practical explanations, practical techniques and skills, and you are also a creative person. Every time I watch you, I enjoy working in this field and seeing people like you.
Great Result Jimmy, loving the organic feel of this stool, thanks for sharing your feelings while doing this, it's a great help to know that someone with your skill and experience can still feel intimidated and be anxious about committing before starting a challenging project with a beautiful piece of timber !
I miss your old videos where you didn’t care about anything. You would use your zoom edit and just show us how it’s done. You gave us an idea. Love you diresta been watching you since I was 17
Love it! I was reminding me of Sam Maloof A few days ago I thought I'd try my hand at building a stool, nothing like this but just to make something different.
That is a gorges stool. It will support many great pickers in its existance. This is what we all hope for, to build things that last.Not disposable junk!
That looks really good. That's a solid stool for sure that's never going to break. I thought it also looked really good before you took the palm sander to it, with all the lines and slight divots from the wood carving disc. Gave it a raw look. But it's also beautiful the way you did it.
Beauty! I have a chunk of hickory and you have me thinking... Those U-haul felt blankets make for a great sound deadener/insulation. Myself and my Wife gutted an 86 VW Jetta and the old insulation/sound deadener was shot. A Neighbor up the hill had a few of those blankets that he gave to us.
You're a talented guy who knows his strengths and weaknesses and his tools! I sculpt my furniture projects and use the tools I know. Was thinking about the 1 inch blade for cutting ( new) lol! Great "on the run" pattern making. Always good to hear you discuss the mental process. I always quote you about learning on the first piece. Then I hope I can remember it! LOL!
I think it would be well worth making another one - this chunky one will look great in a show room, and a stool from thinner stock would work really well at home.
I love the solid look. .awesome only thing I would have suggested is elongated holes in the stool so the seat could expand and contract with moisture changes and not split the seat😊 (but I'm no expert that is for sure) great job!
I just took my second tour through Sam Maloofs house in Ca. The amount of work on his property is amazing. Some of his joints are near invisible. Some have been worked to showcase the joint itself, drawing attention to it. There is still a storeroom filled with walnut there but good choice woods were hard to come across even then. The local lumber store, Petersons, would contact him when they received a particularly good shipment.
I've been bandsaw sculpting a walnut chunk that I saved from the firewood pile just last week. I felt a little naughty doing it, knowing I've cut the tree limb myself just a year back, and knowing I could do so much more stuff with the rest of the parts that I milled back then, or just stacked for bbq; every now and then I would pause and ask myself "what would Jimmy do?" 😅
Yeah the stool is cool but... That goddamn bandsaw is awesome. Every time I see you running tree trunk sized wood through that massive beast I smile like a little kid seeing Santa Claus. God bless Jimmy DiResta and his bandsaw collection ❤️💛💚
Straight and level is important.. But your freeform style is so organic and has a very artistic quality. Honesty makes a rookie like me so very jealous...

".....You're not gonna cut up that piece of walnut for that are ya ? " ..Fantastic as always!

Another great build that will be here for over a century inspiring people

Just found your podcast with Bob and Dave. I binge listen whenever i have free time. It inspires me to get to work.
I think you nailed it, Brother!!❤
That’s one fine stool any artist wood be proud of!!💪🏼👍🏼
I love how you design on the fly with the "instructions" in your head! That stool is amazing! Double H is getting a masterpiece!
Absolutely love the chunky, organic lines of this stool. Awesome work. Mahalo for sharing! : )
It's always great to hear when you're really happy with a project.
Beautiful stool! I love the classic Walnut wood! Nice craftsmanship as always Jimmy! Well done .

I can fully understand the initial apprehension! Finished piece looks so good. Thank you for showing and narrating your process.
Excellent craftmanship, Jimmy! Definitely one to be proud of.

Beautiful work! I love that you always push yourself to do things that are outside your comfort zone.
It’s a joy to watch you work on the bandsaw. Love that American.
I miss your old videos where you didn’t care about anything. You would use your zoom edit and just show us how it’s done. You gave us an idea. Love you diresta been watching you since I was 17
To quote Jim Carrey: B-E-A-Utiful!
Gorgeous!!! Dude, was hoping to see it in the space it will live!!! ah well. Beautiful work.

Damn that is clean!! Great job, Jimmy!
Looks great!
Beautiful. I love it.
beautiful as always! I love the organic look.
leap of faith... it takes guts and experience. Nice work.
Excellent result. One to be very proud of Jimmy.
I think it would be well worth making another one - this chunky one will look great in a show room, and a stool from thinner stock would work really well at home.
Good, solid stool. For screws one can also use the beeswax trick, works well.
Fine work Jimmy! Looks stellar. I meant to tell you in-person last weekend.
I love the solid look. .awesome only thing I would have suggested is elongated holes in the stool so the seat could expand and contract with moisture changes and not split the seat😊 (but I'm no expert that is for sure) great job!
It looks great!!!
stunning ❤
very nice work Jimmy. Your skills are bar none sir.
That's a piece you'd love to see in your living room. I'm sure Phantom Rider were very pleased with the result!

You are a master fabricator the stool is awesome and once again a very interesting and enjoyable video.
Nice work and a good edit.
Great build, Jimmy! Dig your boots, as well.
Wow , thats one strong built, awesome looking stool , excellent work
Hello mister Jimmy beautifully done good job
That band saw is very cool. Nice project.
Very impressive stool.
Really awesome. Great make Jimmy.
Sooo cool! Beautiful work, Jimmy!!
❤️❤️❤️
I love using the cut offs from large table legs to make smaller side tables.
I've been bandsaw sculpting a walnut chunk that I saved from the firewood pile just last week. I felt a little naughty doing it, knowing I've cut the tree limb myself just a year back, and knowing I could do so much more stuff with the rest of the parts that I milled back then, or just stacked for bbq; every now and then I would pause and ask myself "what would Jimmy do?" 😅
Loving these voiceover versions.
Love it Jimmy. Great stuff!
Fantastic result on this one sir.
Great work my friend. I mean seriously just Wow!!!
work of art this stool. i luv stuff like this
Thanks for telling us your thought process. It really helps.
So cool Jimmy!
That was really cool to watch. It’s a great piece.
In a word..... SWEET!! Nicely done Jimmy. Thank you sir.
Another amazing piece 👍🏻
Awesome project, enjoyed watching it! Thanks for sharing
Yeah the stool is cool but... That goddamn bandsaw is awesome. Every time I see you running tree trunk sized wood through that massive beast I smile like a little kid seeing Santa Claus. God bless Jimmy DiResta and his bandsaw collection ❤️💛💚
Lovely old Job.
Straight and level is important.. But your freeform style is so organic and has a very artistic quality. Honesty makes a rookie like me so very jealous...
Beautiful.... 😮👏❤️
Feckin bootiful
That's freaking sweet Jimmy! Hard to beat the figure of walnut🎉
Beautiful stool
