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!
The thing I love about your channel is that you are honest about the work you do. You are humble enough to put your mistakes/wisdom out there, which I believe is critical in growing as a craftsman. I love the cabinet because it has a story. Best wishes to you Jimmy!
Agree. Try that statement for some of the crap that is out there. This is true craftmenship, which are very rarely found these days. I love the build. True art.
True, made to last. Maybe if there were more people like this, we would be more sustainable and this beautiful world will be there for our grand children.
I can never get enough of these Diresta project videos. Makes the down time at the fire house pass in a hurry! Thanks again for sharing your awesomeness, Jimmy!
Your comment about someone buying it at a flea market someday is spot on. I'm always treasure hunting at a flea market and the thought of having a project I built becoming someone's treasure find is pretty cool to think about.
This just became my favourite Jimmy Diresta video ever!!! Your attention to detail for creating a box for keeping your tools shows how much you love your tools. You're an inspiration Jimmy.. Keep moving forward!!
Very nice build, thank you. There is something very special about recovering timber from old buildings and furniture and then crafting new functional and attractive objects that can be treasured and again last for decades. Cheers, David.
Thank you for the last statement as this is a heirloom project as I'm currently in the process of designing a toolbox similar to this for my 4 year old daughter to store her tools for her lifetime. This is an absolutely beautiful design and I'm going to definitely incorporate the paneling technique on the lid and bottoms into her toolbox design. Thank you once again and keep up the wonderful work.
As a retired cabinetmaker with no access to a shop for years this was enjoyable to watch. I'm going to make one of these with hand tools for my good planes and measuring tools.
Thanks. Immense satisfaction to watch. Thanks Rockler! I added you're site on my favourites list. You've got great products! If Jimmy did not show you of here, I never would have gone through the effort to look you up! Love those snapping fittings & hinge stops. Absolutely beautiful!
I built one about the same size with 1/2 birch plywood and finger jointed the whole thing. Love my box and my drawer slides and has a small handle. Next time I make it I'll dovetail it together, love the white oak idea- very hard wood and weather resistant. Like the little mechanism to keep it open, I used a chain and it's broken now. I noticed that you didn't add feet but still looks like a hell of a box and should last forever. Thank you for the ideas!
As always another awesome video! I really like this toolbox. I restore hand planes and currently use some canvas tool bags for all of my odds parts that I keep to complete planes that are missing a frog or tote or whatever. I really like this box and will be building one soon. I really like your sanding board. My grandfather always had clever techniques to accomplish a task. I took my wife and granddaughter to the local farmer's market today and there was a little table for a local maker-space group and I thought of you. I told my wife that Jimmy DiResta would like that. It is nice to see people just making something with their hands. Thank you for sharing with us! A shout out from Fate, TX.
Thanks Jimmy, self taught woodworker, like to learn the old school tricks you employ to be more accurate and efficient. Never feared for your safety before, but was cringing when you were making the large finger joints for the box. The tips of your finger are out of sight but not out of harms way. Thought you might want to employ a higher fence for holding the stock in order to keep your digits intact. Regards, Tony
I love your last comment Jimmy! Someone is going to buy that at a flea market in 100 years. And the cycle continues! That how we should all feel about everything we make! Make it to last not only us but generations to come. Great video for a great box!
Very interesting to watch! I'm a newbie and i like to see how varied people are in the things the're comfortable doing. Just proves to me that i need to find my own way in woodworking. Thanks again.
The nails were driving themselves into the box before he hit them. That's the result when there's a fine craftsman in the room! Love your work man, Big shout out from L.I.
Beautiful toolbox, the sanding plate is brilliant of course..i even like the Rockler router table..perfect video..well done! I seriously would watch Jimmy sort through a box of router bits, because I know I would learn something new.
Wow! Just amazing. Thanks for another awesome video. If you don’t want it sold at a flea market in a hundred years I’d be happy to take it off your hands now
Jimmy, You are The Renaissance Man! Another awesome build. Appearing simple, yet a true craftsman project. Thanks for the videos...hope you are enjoying your new shop!
I’m a beginner and I’m so happy I found this video. So many great tips: the pre-build sketch reducing snipe centering the board before ripping clamping when making the first router cut on the finger joint extending two boards to hang the workpiece on for sanding the sanding board!!! the wedge clamp!!! corners first when routing making up for the air gap in the hinges AND Great explanation of everything throughout, great build and great video production. Extremely well done. Other youtubers should take notes and try and emulate this.
Probably be bought in a flea market down the line for $5 bucks and spray painted purple...No one appreciates the work and quality of a build such as this but another woodworker..I appreciate it....nice job...
Thank you for the video. It brought back a lot of good memories of building my own tool box, in Baltic Birch, back in the 60's. That was fun to watch. I like that you appear to have fun in what ever you do!
I love watching people who verge on artistry in their craftsmanship. I’m not sure why Enjoy it so much because I suck at 99% of these skills? It’s not “sort of” an heirloom project… It is an heirloom!
Hey Jimmy thanks for a very i formative and interesting build. I always enjoy it when people are still using the old hand tool method of doing things. Hope to see more wonderful videos. Greetings from South Africa.
Thanks for this great video. I am a DIYer: I loved the pace of your editing and the simple, direct explanations of what you are doing. So many great titbits of experience and learning and the video is formatted to be easily rewatchable.... and the toolbox looks great too. Thank you.
You should include something in each project with a link to the build video so that when "someone buys it at a flea market in a hundred years" they can dig up video of that particular piece. Instant provenance! Love all of your videos!
I have never worked with wood, always thought about it, but never had the means. I do however appreciate those that do have the skills. Thanks for posting, very interesting. Subscribed.
Really nice work Jimmy. I can't say I've ever used any Rockler products, but they sponsor just about every one of my favourite makers, so they must be doing something right...
THANK YOU for the voice over, no guess work as to what and why as we watch the video :-) Again, love the voice over and not to fast on the fast forward button ! :-) :-) Beautiful toolbox!!
Love this and it gave me even more inspiration to tailor my IKEA Bed turned Machinist Chest... Thanks - Jimmy!!! and I'll promise to try buying your box in a 100 years
Thanks Rockler for supporting and sponsoring amazing craftsmen!
well said
Thank you!
My thoughts exactly. Very inspiring!
Agree! I think they understand the new world much better than others.
agreed! :)

"Somebody somewhere is gonna buy that at a Fleamarket in a hundred years"
What a wonderful sentiment to keep in mind as you build something.
Agree. Try that statement for some of the crap that is out there. This is true craftmenship, which are very rarely found these days. I love the build. True art.

High speed nailing is one of my favorite things on TH-cam. : )

I love that Diresta videos have 10 times of views that regular clips on sponsored channels. Jimmy pushed the limits!
Diresta is always an absolute joy to watch. What a master.
Very nice build, thank you. There is something very special about recovering timber from old buildings and furniture and then crafting new functional and attractive objects that can be treasured and again last for decades. Cheers, David.
Thats some beautiful work. The locks are extra classy!
Mein Gott was für eine Schönheit, Danke für diese Box. Daumen hoch aus Deutschland. Great!!!
Diresta hits another winning project outta the park. Great job Jimmy! Thanks, Rockler for sponsoring so many great craftsman!
Thank you bro!!
A lot of awesomeness !!!! Thank you Rockler for supporting a great artist/Craftsman :)
Thanks Jimmy I learn so much from your videos, it takes so much effort to constantly alter your work flow so you can film yourself. We appreciate it.
Hello Diresta, thanks for the voice over! It's so much better with - than without.
It's not a toolbox. In it you'll find the holy grail. Love it. It is really a MASTERPIECE. Greetz from Germany.
Thank you for the last statement as this is a heirloom project as I'm currently in the process of designing a toolbox similar to this for my 4 year old daughter to store her tools for her lifetime. This is an absolutely beautiful design and I'm going to definitely incorporate the paneling technique on the lid and bottoms into her toolbox design. Thank you once again and keep up the wonderful work.
Great to see you revive use of nails and incorporate a unique selection of hardware
Destined to be a collector’s piece
I hope my grandchildren will buy it at a flea market one day!
Great build Jimmy!
As a retired cabinetmaker with no access to a shop for years this was enjoyable to watch. I'm going to make one of these with hand tools for my good planes and measuring tools.
Very nice Jimmy. The box itself becomes the treasure.
Thanks. Immense satisfaction to watch. Thanks Rockler! I added you're site on my favourites list. You've got great products! If Jimmy did not show you of here, I never would have gone through the effort to look you up! Love those snapping fittings & hinge stops. Absolutely beautiful!
In 100 years this will likely be a highly valued collectors item! Id sure pay a pretty penny to own it
what a master. i learn something every time i watch diresta
What a pleasure it is watching you make that box. You really gave me a lot of tips in this video. Jimmy thank you for sharing my brother...
Just amazing!!! Jimmy is so talented and glad Rockler cut a deal with him to show off their products!! 👏👈🏻
Gorgeous build. Love Jimmys stuff.
Hi Mr.Malecki of the past!
@@anthonyattaway3437 hey i know you!

Excellent build Jimmy. Beautiful box. Glad Rockler is supporting you. - Jim
Very nice Jimmy. I learn so much from your videos.

Wow, never thought the build of a tool box wood be so satisfying ! 👍👍👊👊
Your endless tips embedded within your videos as you work. Just watch and learn. Thank you so much.
Thanks Jimmy, self taught woodworker, like to learn the old school tricks you employ to be more accurate and efficient.

I thought i was the only one who thought the sound of those clips were satisfying? I love to hear your use of adjectives. Great Job as usual.
You are the Man!! and now I added Tool box to my project list. Thank You madman
Wow, that tool box looks fantastic.
great build. I love jimmy's work. Thanks Rockler for supporting and sponsoring amazing craftsmen!
Nice to see some work getting done in the new shop.
Such a genuine pleasure watching a fellow New Yorker make. Love this box sir. Can't wait to get time to start my own shop soon.
I love your last comment Jimmy! Someone is going to buy that at a flea market in 100 years. And the cycle continues! That how we should all feel about everything we make! Make it to last not only us but generations to come. Great video for a great box!
The box looks great and the metal parts work pretty slick too.
Very interesting to watch! I'm a newbie and i like to see how varied people are in the things the're comfortable doing. Just proves to me that i need to find my own way in woodworking. Thanks again.

Jimmy, You are The Renaissance Man! Another awesome build. Appearing simple, yet a true craftsman project. Thanks for the videos...hope you are enjoying your new shop!
Awesome Diresta... fun watching him work and very educational...
No clamps needed...just screw scraps directly to the workbench! Awesome, Jimmy!
Classic Box...Classic Fun on top of moving...! Oh snap...Those snaps are just cool...!Great video, greetings from Denmark.
I can see the enjoyment you have for your work in the final product. Beautiful work!
Excellent box, perfect for almost anything!!
I’m a beginner and I’m so happy I found this video. So many great tips:
the pre-build sketch
reducing snipe
centering the board before ripping
clamping when making the first router cut on the finger joint
extending two boards to hang the workpiece on for sanding
the sanding board!!!
the wedge clamp!!!
corners first when routing
making up for the air gap in the hinges
AND
Great explanation of everything throughout, great build and great video production.
Extremely well done. Other youtubers should take notes and try and emulate this.
Absolutely love the videos where you do the voice over to explain your process. My favorites (love them all but some are favorite!)
Probably be bought in a flea market down the line for $5 bucks and spray painted purple...No one appreciates the work and quality of a build such as this but another woodworker..I appreciate it....nice job...
"Somebody, somewhere is going to buy that in a flea market in a hundred years."
That is a beautiful thought. Another great video Jimmy
Fantastic work as usual jimmy!!😊👊👊is have to say the nails are my favorite touch if anyone was wondering what my humble opinion was 😊😊😊🍀🍀
There's just something about your box builds.. I love those vids the most... Beautiful!!!
My grandfather built his own, and it’s beating. Yours is gorgeous.
greetings from Turkey DiResta.. I congratulate your videos very well
Well done man! I too like the woody woodpecker sound the high speed hammering makes!
Mt favorite type of Diresta video, fast video with voice over.
Very nice design and excellent workmanship. Bravo 👍🏻👏🏻
Grateful for you, Jimmy. Feeling inspired. Ready to get to work now.
Attaching sheets of sandpaper to a flat surface for level sanding?
INGENIOUS!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Beautiful! And a real pleasure to watch.
That's a beauty any guy would be glad to have. Very nice work.
Those snaps are pretty sweet. Nice build.
There is only one word !!! Outstanding !!
Just had to say that sanding plate you used for the top of the box was...NUTS! Sorry had to go there, I feel much better now. Thumbs up.
Thank you for the video. It brought back a lot of good memories of building my own tool box, in Baltic Birch, back in the 60's. That was fun to watch. I like that you appear to have fun in what ever you do!
I hope these guys that buy our stuff in flea markets in 100 years appreciate these things like we did.
Always amazed by your builds
Simple utilitarian and beautiful, I like it!
I love that toolbox. Thank you Jimmy for making all the things.
I love watching people who verge on artistry in their craftsmanship. I’m not sure why Enjoy it so much because I suck at 99% of these skills? It’s not “sort of” an heirloom project… It is an heirloom!
Beautiful job. Very nice. Keep it in your family. No flea market!
Brilliant work as always Jimmy.
Lovely, and great commentary to explain why you are doing.
Thank you
Hey Jimmy thanks for a very i formative and interesting build. I always enjoy it when people are still using the old hand tool method of doing things. Hope to see more wonderful videos. Greetings from South Africa.
A very nice video, there are so many you can learn from it, what a great job you did. Greetings from Romania.

Beautiful work as always.
THANK YOU for the voice over, no guess work as to what and why as we watch the video :-)
Again, love the voice over and not to fast on the fast forward button ! :-) :-)
Beautiful toolbox!!
This brings back good memories. I built a tool box like this when I was 15.
WOW! Outstanding little box!
For a mean old nasty iron worker you don't do a bad job on finish carpentry! Very nice Jimmy, thanks!
What you build is inspiring and also that you share your knowledge!
Very nice. Excellent attention to detail!
I love the details , thanks for sharing. Why wait a hundred years, I will buy it from you now!!!
Love this and it gave me even more inspiration to tailor my IKEA Bed turned Machinist Chest... Thanks - Jimmy!!! and I'll promise to try buying your box in a 100 years
