    I used the torch and hot glue tip as well as the canned air cooling tip last night on a project and thought Damn Jimmy is a genius. I love these videos they make my life so much easier.

    A guy who can make just about anything and loves animals is a great combination. I enjoy watching your videos, learned much from them. Thanks.

    The great man speaks YAY! The best thing about watching Jimmy DiResta is that he has not only shown me some great techniques (I know he doesn't usually speak but if you watch his videos carefully you'll learn) but has immeasurably improved my problem solving thought process. Much Love Jimmy.

    Yes! More of these. This is the entire point of apprenticeship as far as I am concerned. The idea of working with people who have more practical experience than you is that they can show you the "tips and tricks" that are only gained after hours and hours of hands on experience. These tips are going to save someone, at some point, hours of aggravation. Thanks Jimmy! (and Dave!)

    I love the idea of this series and so I thought I'd give you one I learned from an old German millwright while working at a Ski Resort. He taught me to use school board chalk on my files before using them, especially if I was to be filing aluminum. Made cleaning the buggers out with a wire brush a breeze and I've nigh thrown out a file since, I have fifteen year old files that cut like the day they were made, and because of the tip I stopped buying throw away files and investing in decent ones that are a pleasure to use like a good plane on wood instead of the disposable crap. Just rub the chalk on your file and when you're done take a wire brush to it. It's not something that needs constant doing, just chalk it, use it, clean it, and put it away.

      ill keep this in mind when i do the file and grinding episode tx brother !

    @AgentJohnSteed 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am super excited to see more of these videos. I am a computer programmer by trade and so I am just getting into woodworking and fabrication. It's unlikely I would run into these tips myself, there are just things you pick up over the years. Having somebody to watch to jump start my knowledge is invaluable. Thanks for taking the time to pass this stuff along.

    Hot glue also works great as small 'rubber' feet on objects. Cut off a small disc from the glue stick, heat one end with a lighter and affix to the bottom of your piece. I use this for the bases of uneven sculptures, bowls and objects for display.
    Excellent video!

  • @Creator_Nater
    @Creator_Nater 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you Diresta. I've learned more in the past 2 months of your videos than I've learned in 37 years

  • @Frank-Xavier
    @Frank-Xavier 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a fantastic idea, Jimmy. I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber who watches your channel for not only what you're making, but just as importantly, HOW you make it. Quick little videos highlighting the Diresta ingenuity will be well received I'm sure.

  • @kimboallegro
    @kimboallegro 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a newbie to woodworking I appreciate the tips I've found on your site. While sometimes I like trial and error it's nice to learn from someone who has been there before. Steve Ramsey was my first inspiration to woodworking, but you've become my second. After a long day teaching I love to putter around with my tools, so thank you again!

  • @TheCobasmira

      @airwolf28 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Peter, he had spoken before in his previous shows: Dirty Money and Hammered. I think that he may had spoken during some of his build but it's in high speed.

    • @peterbrownwastaken
      @peterbrownwastaken 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      airwolf28 Oh, I know that. I was just making a point! He mentioned on his podcast that he was going to start making these videos. I was just excited to see one!

    • @airwolf28
      @airwolf28 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I really do like his creation.. I found him when he was making that Storm Trooper helmet using foam. I am always looking forward for his next video..

  • @anon746912
    @anon746912 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Here's another tip for quickly gluing cables:
    Most cables have a natural twist to them (ethernet, stranded power cord, many others). When pushing the cable onto the bit of fresh hot glue on the surface, make sure you go at the same angle that the cable's twist pushes it to, so that the cable itself is pushing against the surface onto the glue. Move your feeding hand further along the cable to grab the next spot (keep pressure on the cable so that it doesn't come loose from the glue), spot the next bit of glue and continue. Using this method there is no waiting at all, you can go as fast as you are able to manipulate the cable with one hand.

    I have built hundreds of draws and never once thought of using hot glue to hold the face on.. no more clamps for me for that process.. HELL of a tip Thanks Just goes to show that no matter what you know you can always learn something new!!

  • @TheDutyPaid
    @TheDutyPaid 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Taught me a load of tips, thanks Jimmy. Here is a tip for you. If you need to shape Aluminium sheet, rub soap on it before heating with a blowtorch. When the soap turns black you know the metal is heated enough.

    @TimsManBlog 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great tips!
    I've used hot glue in situations where there was a need for speed, but never even thought to go ahead and use it in combo with wood glue. I've always just done one or the other.....but will do both now!
    I have also used compressed air via my blow-gun to cool it, but will toss a can of electronics cleaner in my toolbox for when away from the shop.
    Excellent idea for a series of videos.

  • @littlestworkshop
    @littlestworkshop 10 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    A few more:
    1. IPA (isopropyl alcohol, rubbing alcohol) release hot glue joints easily, dab on the edges and they pop off
    2. Hot glue into heatshrink both shrinks the tube and makes a watertight seal, good for wiring and stuff.
    3. You can buy freeze sprays for plumbing, I think you get more juice than a duster
    5. When you nearly run out of glue, stick the next stick on to the current one to prevent feeding issues
