Thanks, Jimmy! The world needs more tree swings!
The best thing about this video is him braiding that rope! Wow, never seen that done before. please make a walk through tutorial on that.
it's called splicing
One of the best toys ever.
When made by the master Diresta, it becomes even great. Thanks for sharing Jimmy.
I have never been jealous of, well anything really but a beaver pond in your back yard how cool is that. thanks for sharing.
slicing the rope is a special attention to detail that Jimmy DiResta never skips! excellent job.
Looks like DiResta entered his happy place. Awesome project. Love the splicing.
Nice to see someone splicing ropes. My respect for you just went up ten fold mate. Great video please keep them coming.
This has to be the funniest Diresta Video I've ever seen. Seeing him on a swing swinging like a little girl, made my day.
Nice ropework, by the way. It's a dying art.
Plus, with his signature curmudgeony look on his face, made it pretty priceless.
lol, yep
I did not think a city guy like you would know how to splice a rope. Thought it was a lost skill except for sailors. Love your creativity and thank you for sharing.
Thank you, there is lots you don't know about this city boy! more to come. Thank you for your support and kind words in many comments!!
I want to imagine a beaver coming back to that tree and just freaking the fuck out.
Like, " HOW THE-, WHAT THE-. BLASPHEMY! MAGIC! HELL SPAWN TREE!"
Jimmy Diresta is a Talented Craftsman! He uses tools to the fullest!!!!!
I never grow tired watching your videos!
Nice Jimmy! Now you should make another for inside the shop. The shop swing looked fun :)
Funny you say that bc after I posted a photo just After I made it... a photog friend asked if I can make one for a fashion shoot. I did. She will use for a day and I get back for the NYC shop !
+jimmydiresta it looks like you forgot something on the log
dear jimmy, u r awesome. life should enjoy like u do....
Every time u uploaded a video i am very happy to see and there is some thing new and a creativity genius behind every single work...
you're the man jimmy. I bet the farmhouse in the fall is the best!
Some one has their knot tying merit badge. You do great work.
I hung one of those disk type swings in a tree in our backyard for my son this summer. The limb is about 30 ft off the ground so there is a HUGE amount of travel for the swing. If I really put effort into it I can push him higher than the roof of the house! Off topic I guess, but I love tree swings! Nice work.
Anyone notice that, with this project Jimmy made a swing for the tree *and* a bench for the pond? Good job, brother J!
I'm glad I searched , found more ideas from Diresta!
Mad props on the project
Dude can swing without hands. What a legend.
Man, two awesome workshops, you're a lucky man Jimmy hahaha. Always cool to see more stuff. Keep em coming!
You work with rope also? OK seriously....you aren't even a craftsman anymore. Your a full fledged wizard.
This made me smile, DiResta on a rope swing :D
Coolest dude hands down.
I am so happy to stumble on this fantastic channel what a fantastic video thank you for sharing great video.
I think many of us didnt realize you were proficent with knots. Fine work
I've been waiting for this one! Nice job on the splices.
Ohh man, after all that work you had to rewrap the rope! You are the man!!! Love it! Do you have kids?
Oh and am heading out to build one of those. Love a swing.
the the rope braiding is worth the like!
You know you're badass when you're weaving a rope while wearing a Rolex.
or just boomer trash
One of the first projects I made as a boyat about 4 years old with my grandfather teaching me how to weave hemp rope for our rope swing. Ball game on the radio making a monkey knot at the base to grabrb so he and my father could whip us high into the air over the hill. Thanks for bringing up a great memory we had a single rope and a disk though not a log to laconic for an ADD kid.
excellent job!! you are truely living the dream. God bless and the best to you.
this is super cool!!Been wanting to make one for my son, but we don't have big enough tree branch at our yard
Right on, Jimmy. Back splices, half hitches...Someone knows his knots. ;) Looks like fun. I've got my grandfather's brace and bit. You cant beat old-school sometimes.
I agree the rope reweaving is just cool. Fun project.
si pudieran hacer unas alforjas para motosicleta los amigos de diResta se los voy a agradecer . son los mejores su taller es espectacular!! admiro todo lo que fabrican...un saludo desde xochimilco df mexico
A lot of projects are going to come out of that tree!
Awesome video, as always!
Love This Guy
Great video, thanks learned a lot.
Oh this looks so fun! I want one....or two.
That a nice piece of land you got there.
"look mommy, No hands" lol
Great work Jimmy!!
So want to be there. Beavers and nature and creating and craftsmanship and ZOMG I THINK IMMA ESSPLODE!
Love it! You just gave me an excellent idea for making a yard bench.
BTW, we've got lots of beavers on our property too.
did you go back and get your hatchet?
You have quite a few videos and your stuff is awesome and your very skilled. You have some land there and I think I saw at least 1 trial camera. Do you hunt? It would be awesome to see some design and fabrication videos of tree stands, feeders, etc. I've tried coming up with clever ideas but nothing like your capable of. Thanks man!
Thank you NPR
I think I have gotten the DiResta disease.. Great Job, Jimmy.. Now how can I convince my boss to have one installed in my work..
Nice
Love the use of the auger and how you spliced the rope. What was the knife that you used to work the rope? Looks like a handy tool to have.
When it comes time to replace that hot tub cover check out be-lite hot tub covers. Expensive but built to last!
I'd bet my left nut Jimmy DiResta'd just build his own.
Keep up the great vids sir!
if you use crazy glue on the ends of the rope, it makes it a lot easier to splice! almost makes a crazy glue needle. The ends get trimmed anyway. then white glue (or maybe wood glue) rubbed over the splice will keep it all nicey nicey.
I would've expected Jimmy to be a Stihl guy.
Très fort très jolie surtout la magnere de nouer la corde merci et à bientôt.
good one jimmy
Классная работа! +
Отличное испытание!!!!
Jimmy, where did you learn to tie rope knots? That is something I've always wanted to learn how to do.
That's really cool
Awesomeness!
great shots Jimmy. I wished speed would slow for the rope weave ands then it did! Love it!
I've gotta make one now
Great job as always . Tree swing didn't expect much from that title but you surprised me once again. Oh by the way +jimmydiresta the trunk you left behind, with the piece you cut off i think it would been great for a swing with sides I__I
Jimmy, where were you working when you built the benches out of plywood, i believe you were in a huge shop, but it looked like some of your tools were there?

7:30 this is an example of what's referred to as the money shot class.
thx for this diresta, you own face man.
Jimmy, God must really like you. You are very inteligent. All this property is where you live?
That's awesome
Just a question did you pick up your hatchet when you left the area?
That appears to be One. Hot. Tub. Lol Cool swing, I love how he uses a chainsaw and hand crank drill... That's Jimmy DiResta for ya, does whatever the hell he wants.
Love it
I just knew you weren't going to put your signature label right on the top of the seat.
belíssimo trabalho. parabéns... very good...
Jimmy! Your nuts at the end of that episode...
Not sure how you tied and cut the rope off at the tree though. It had about 10 feet looped over the limb then all the sudden it was trimmed and tied.
Rick Shaw It's hard to tell, but I think he threaded the swing through the big loop and then just pulled it tight.
as always top work. How much land do you own?
How long does it take a beaver to fell a tree?
+TheDutyPaid As long as it would take to fell a tree.
Hope that helps.
sheep-bend knot. nice!
WAIT ! what is happening at 6:57, how did you do that?
I'm disappointed, Jimmy, that you don't have a home-made hot tub!
"We can't go back now, this is beaver country!"
That line splice tho 🙌🏾
How long does it take for a beaver to chew completely through a tree?
+Steev Don lmgtfy.com/?q=How+long+does+it+take+for+a+beaver+to+chew+completely+through+a+tree%3F%EF%BB%BF
I am amazed google made that
Are you on NYFD
Is there a name for technique you do to the rope? I want to search for directions on how to do it properly but it's hard to search for something when you don't know what is called. The seat part, not the hanging part.
89wheatthin Eye Splice
It's known as splicing. In this instance a 3 strand splice, but differ methods work on all modern ropes.
And Marlinspike chops, too.
אדם מיוחד וכישרוני מאוד .
Great video! Subscribed. I never knew that ropes could be intertwined like that, Ill have to try it! You are a genius man, I get there is very few things you cannot do. Ignore anyone who criticizes tools or methodology. I wish I knew you. How many hours upstate is this area from NYC? Ny friend has a place thats 6 hours up on 20 acres and his wife owned the 150 acres adjacent it it and they combined it. Its incredible that so much land is available, but you need to maintain it and keeping things like knives and guns is a good idea in case of wild animals like bears or whatever.
I know this intertwine as a molly hogan, the same can be done with wire rope.
In sailing terms what you are describing is a Loose Eye Splice, loose because there is nothing reinforcing the eye such as a Thimble.
Why are you using hand drill?
Price? Please tell me fast
what is the ladder for.?
question why do you use the manual hand drill instead of a powered one
+Jamesthe builder on my opinion, we can crack the wood if using drilling machine, I mean, we cannot control it's strength
+Jamesthe builder I think just because he wanted to. If you follow Jimmy you can see that he stays in touch with hand-tools by making himself use them; hand-tools promote a better understanding of the material being worked. It sounds a bit weird but it's very true.
+aintgonnahappen Man i really need to use my hand drill more often
lolatmyage
Not a bad idea :)
Genial
Oh Jimmy, appealing to the child in all of us.
Your farm?
what is the diameter of the workshop?
muito bom
Is this DiRestas way of saying he's having a kid?
