      i was wondering how you would even fill in the gaps, i was thinking spray foam? but how do you cover that up? some kind of scribed trim? but yeah, mortar, duh.. love it

    As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

      @11:56 I like to think that ToT was tearing up a bit....a lil' bit, a lil' bit. No (weirdly satisfying) blue marker, no uniform chips.... 😂

    Seriously, wonderful piece of craftsmanship. Should easily go another 200 years.

    One of the first TH-cam channels I watched was back when you were in NYC turning discarded items into functional things, like old lumber into a NYC skyline bench.

    Nice door that should strengthen the rubble foundation. Opening and closing the doors for our six cats makes me feel like a doorman in a cathouse.

    I think I've seen enough Diresta videos to know when Jimmy is saying "thank YOU", just by how he throws material around.

    First time I’ve seen Jimmy pick up a level. Thought he never needed one. Great lesson to all DIY guys like myself. If he needs one, you do too.

    • @buckhorncortez
      @buckhorncortez 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why would I care if he used a level? I have 12 different levels in sizes from 6-feet down to 8-inches and I don't need Jimmy Diresta to remind me how to use them.

    When I'm doing a project that looks old I like to take a torch to the zinc hardware until it gets red hot. It leaves it with a black patina that can be waxed, lacquered or just left to rust. It's an easy way to come up with some old looking hardware.

    This cellar entrance looks eerily similar to one which I had started a very similar door replacement for but never finished - now I see how it could have gone! In particular, your welded pin-into-foundation mounting scheme is a simple yet very effective manner of attachment and one which I had not imagined for my build. Excellent concept and build. I too am a fan of boiled linseed oil for some of my wood projects.
