In this video I make a TIG welded aluminum camera box .. I recently went to a TIG welding class at Lincon welding school. The aluminum drops are from a fan that makes diesel tanks , I got it 8-9 years ago! I can not remember who sent it if it was you thank you!!! (jimmydiresta@me.com)

The 5 stages of watching Jimmy build stuff.
1: This looks like it's going to be interesting.
2: Well I've never seen that technique before.
3: The heck are you doing JImmy?
4: What? Just What?
5: OMG its BEAUTIFUL!
6: OMG, the video is at actual speed! He really works that fast!
🥰🥰🥰💪🏼😂
Those are the same stages I go through when I watch a Bob Ross painting.
I liked how you spaced the bottom or tops from the sides with utility knife blades,I will remember that, thanks for all you do for the community🤗😎🤗😎
I like how he gave us the tip by using it. He didn't even have to use words.
So many things to learn within each video of yours! Thanks for all that you do Jimmy! Truly a master craftsman. Proud to be alive alongside 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
There are at least a hundred lessons contained within this vid for even the seasoned craftsman. Amazing, as always.
@14:30 The Jimmy Diresta step drill bit. "I'm gonna step over here and get me a bigger drill bit." Always so much to learn on one of Jimmy's videos. Thanks.
In my 45 years as a boiler operator and boiler inspector I don’t think I’ve ever seen welds that nice before. Well done.
Well, if you havent, im scared to be around anything that was welded by the welders you inspected. I hope they received better training after your inspection. Could you send us a list? :p
@@beebop4333Come on man
Oh please. Those are some very decent shop welds for a maker, but don't try to talk them up to the standards of what a professional welder would do on a pressure vessel of any sort.
Jimmy is a genius at what he does, but there's no need to try to portray him as a welder of the caliber of which you're speaking of.
WOW! What a design and that red really compliments the silver and the walnut. It reminds me a little bit of the old road cases rock bands used to pack mics and gear in but with a cool twist! Very nice work Jimmy!
Impressive build! I like how you grain matched the aluminum drawer face.
We all know the real motivation of this project was to show how good you’ve gotten with the TIG machine. Very impressive work man!
Classic Jimmy video editing - loved it!
Looks really great. The way you made the dove tail joints was just so smart and looked really good. Very shiny as well. Brilliant job.
As the name suggests dovetail joints look like a dove's tail. They're angled fan like. \ / What's used here is called a box joint. Which is often confused with dovetails due to a superficial similarity. They are considerably different joints though. You'd be hard pressed to cut decent dovetails on a table saw. I won't say it can't be done but no one does it. machined dovetails are cut with a router and a jig template.
Thanks for that I didn’t know the name for that joint but do now. Either way it does look smart and was a smart idea.
@@1pcfred You can cut decent dovetails on a table saw, but you have to build jigs to make it happen. I want to say Tamar at 3x3 customs made a video about it years ago, and made some damn good joints with it. They didn't look hand cut, but they were certainly dovetails. Although given the jig and the setup time, if I were using a table saw I'd go box joint as it's a much easier and more repeatable setup. So you're right, it can be done on a table saw but it's a lot of work.
@@ejthompson4950 the main problem is the corners of the tails are not right angles. So they cannot be cut properly with right angle tools. No jig can change that either. You'd need a beveled blade to cut that angled corner. But no one has one of those. If you want to machine cut dovetails you use a router. That's the sensible solution. It's what everyone does.
@@1pcfred ridge carbide makes beveled blades for making exactly that sort of cut. I don’t remember if Tamar used special blades or cleaned up the corners with hand tools. It is possible and the tooling exists but unless you’ve got a production shop setup running multiple table saws for each blade type and angle…. No one is really using the tablesaw method at home.
The beauty of your videos is not so much the objects themselves, but the way you make them, that is, in your own way. . passa un buon weekend
Great build. It's cool seeing woodworking tools used for aluminium.
That's beautiful! Now you can check your face for any grease or dirt before going inside for the evening, and you can blind everyone around you when you're working in the sunshine! It's cool hearing you talk about this project in the Making It podcast, and then seeing you create the tool chest. Big up from Upstate NY (Glens Falls)✌️
Very artistically done. Glad the TIG lessons have paid off.
I absolutely love the fact that you use things as measuring devices!! "What size is that radius?" Jimmy "I dunno, about a half used roll of masking tape!" Beautiful job sir!
You are a fine craftsman. It is such a pleasure to watch your work. Thanks one more time!
So awesome. I love how you make everything look so effortless. Amazing work!
Since it’s aluminum you could run a radius on the weld seams. Cut, buff, and polish. But the tig walking looks good too.
Come on Jimmy. You're better than pitching bs test boosters and fat burners.
Agreed, it’s all worthless😅
let the guy get his bread man, you're enjoying his content for free
Fabulous! Like it fell through a worm hole from a galaxy far far away! Thank you for sharing how you made it!
That's a great looking combination of materials & colour
Incredible job I put some comments on the patreon version. I was just watching your rockler tool box last week.
So good to be able to make what you need. The cameras have a good spot to be stored.
One way of ensure that polished aluminum doesn't show any fingerprints is to cover it in fingerprints, that way you won't see the fingerprints.
Nice job. Penetration on the inside of the lid looks great. Nice color on the weld pool.
I have never found gluing box joints to be a satisfying experience... I can't wait to make some box joints now after seeing your technique with ca glue... Thank you!
Great film. The box is a beauty. Cool twist putting the nuts on the outside. Great welding job. I need to get me some Thixo! Mahalo for sharing! : )
This reminds me of the videos from the old Manhattan basement shop. Always fantastic to watch you work sir.
Unground welds did it for me, just awesome. True Diresta style👌.
I love how you're always learning.
Spectacular work! Great job on reusing the hardware!!
I have the feeling we are going to be seeing more aluminum in future projects. Fantastic video, thanks for sharing!
Mind blowing, every time!!
Such a pleasure to watch!
The skill needed to build a simple drawered box is really never ending.
You never do anything short of excellent, and I guarantee that there is a market for those tool chests…
this guy has so many great tips on how to make things, love to watch! 😅
I both love and hate how easy you makes this look. Best toolbox ever.
Simply Stunning Sir. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Love and Respect from North London UK
Quite possibly my fav Diresta build!! ❤❤
Very nice I built a walnut box similar to that years ago. Had it six days before someone stole it. I'm still mad
Super awesome!
You built my dream toolbox!
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
I'm always delighted watching a master fabricator at work. A beautify Camera box. Great video and I'm looking forward to more on the Graveyard house.
Thanks Jimmy! 👍👍👍
Very amazing work as always. Pretty cool to see the Tig put into action like that!
Jimmy, thanks for Patreon voice over version. A perk worth paying for.
Great project , my welding skills are not even close to that level but I I'm working on it thanks to some great tips I got a makers camp
Man! You lay down a decent looking bead!
15:30 Damn, that's a lot of cameras. No wonder he's got 2 million subscribers!
Beautiful toolbox! Your tools thank you for a nice home.
WOW!!! Beautiful piece.
God bless!
That is one fine looking tool box you made, good post, cheers !
That’s a beautiful combination of materials, awesome work as always
Awesome tool box! Thank you for the tips on box joints too. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic such tight tolerances looks amazing 👍👍👍
Looks great. Time to see if my finish is dry so I can do other projects which it’s not. I need two shops
Smashing box Mr Diresta!
Hello Jimmy good job beautifully done
Nice work Jimmy. The red felt and walnut go so well together. But, I'm thinking that maybe you need another GoPro or two, and definitely need an icepick in there. Those icepicks are just so handy to have around!
Good work. If i were to build that box i would waterproof all bolts and holes.Water has a way of finding its way in.
Magnificent build! That combination of dark wood, bare aluminum and red fabric makes the goblin brain happy!!
So I have to give you so much credit for my confidence in the shop. I always learn new techniques and you work flawlessly while remaining humble. I love it. Thank you.
Another great work from you! Amazing result! 👏
Love it , but my OCD really wants some Kaizen foam in there, with the matching red !
So enjoyable watching you work ,as usual .
No one can pinch anything from that without leaving fingerprints behind 😃
That is beautiful! I love it. Nice use of the Wera screwdriver. I've had one for about 5 years and it is EDC at work for me.
💪🏼🙏🏼👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
That's a very nice grip. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing.
Another masterpiece Jimmy!
Gonna watch this in patreon with the voiceover, just wanted to comment and say that’s a badass box 👌👌👌
Absolutely incredible, Jimmy! It is beautiful👏👏
as often very inspirational, thank you ! must admit that I find speed of execution is of the essence in deciding to embark or not into a DIY project...
O_O that intro was a straight up flashback to waking up in the middel of the night with tv shop glaring on the telly...
Jimmy's tool use skills like Master tier level. 😮😮
Amazing work!
Beautiful! A box you'll be polishing for the rest of your life!
As an aircraft sheet metal mech, I'm disappointed you didn't rivet the hinge and latches. Great work though!
I agree! I wondered also why the bolt heads were on the inside?
What a craftsman you are Jimmy!
Would of been awesome
I hate rivets😂
Yea Jimmy- everyone knows that rivets make toolboxes more aerodynamic! Lol 😉
This is definitely one of the coolest toolboxes I’ve seen in a while. Well done!
Love watching the way you approach things 👏👏👏 another very cool piece👌👌
Nice work 👍🏻. Some Kaizen foam from FastCap would be a great addition to keep everything in place 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️
Once again I’m in awe of your imagination and skills 😊
Great minds think alike. Ive been wanting to build a similar box for work lately. I wanted an overlapping lid or rain groove in mine in case i leave it outside. Corner protectors, mainly for looks. Aluminum upper tray. Thanks for video
You really improved with your welding man!
This reminds me of your earlier Timelapse vids in the City. Another great build.
Beautiful !
....SPEECHLESS,WOW!!!!!!!
With a Slickness... like the wood interior construction.
Nicely done..
Great stuff Jimmy 👌
Твой стиль работы и съёмки как всегда превосходный
Джимми есть Джимми 👍👍👍👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Do you have to worry about aluminum cutting on the SawStop triggering the safety mechanism. I noticed the metal was insulated with the covering during cutting. Good job!
Like always Jimmy that is awesome. Love your work you inspire us all. We need more of you in the world.
Respect from Egypt jimmy 🎉
Great job as usual Mr Diresta
metal, wood, felt, glue.
all a growing boy needs.
nice job on the TIG. Welding nice joints (especially in aluminum) is never as easy as people make it look.
Amazing work
You always make me believe I can do stuff - thank you so much for your inspiration.
Really fantastic to watch. The hi speed footage is about the same speed as my brain when doing something like this.
I was kinda not liking the wood drawer and then you put the face piece on and I was like, of corse.
Beautiful piece. The fingerprints would keep me busy.
NOW I know why Jimmy works so fast. It's the PrimeGenix!
☺️😆😆
That is a no bullshit fixture table right there.
That sure is a shiny box!
What awsome skills 🙏
