In this video I make a set of wood stools for my kitchen. If you follow me you know I make stools often, and I am in search of the perfect stool design!!! These wood stools with a steel foot rest and a leather top, was an exercise in using the new 12’ long papermakers lathe I recently purchased. I decided to make the foot rest in steel because it seems like first to break in any other stool design. I had to weld in place because it would have been impossible to assemble as one part.
I had to use the machine shop to fabricate a steel die to match the tapper on the leg where the foot rest collar will live.
And thank you to Weaver for sponsoring this video. The leather top was the inspiration for this design and this video.

THANK YOU!
Old school plus new school.
Ancient tools given new life, and new tools given old wisdom and creativity to really shine!
You, Jimmy are an inspiration!
I love the mix of skills, tools, and materials you use, and you never do the same thing twice! Always pushing your limits, always testing the limits and capabilities of your tools.
You're the Alton Brown of making!
Creative, scientific and artistic in equal quantities and mixing new and old techniques together to make something new and amazing!
I'm gonna go make something!
quintessential DiResta: Leather, wood, and steel
Multi-Medium & Multi-Media
If I don't learn something, I ALWAYS learn how to do it better. Perfect build.
It's not often that beauty and ruggedness come together the way they come together with Diresta. Respect!
Using the table saw to find the Center! I need to remember that trick.
As a viewer I appreciate the time and attention spent on the repetitive work. It was done tastefully. I can really appreciate the time and patience required to make those legs. Respect.
Those old machines sing some beautiful songs! Thanks for slowing it down for a few seconds and sharing.👍👍👏👏👏
16 legs lathed, I can imagine you wouldn't want to do any more lathing for the stretchers. The steel really sets it off. Cool stools!
Life is so much better with tools. Especially the right tools!

You're one of a kind Jimmy... I don't think there will ever be another maker quite like you... 👍
Those are gorgeous! Watching the way you approach your builds step by step is almost mesmerizing. I'm loving this community so much. I'm just starting to make things at the age of 51. Wish I'd have figured out this passion 35 years ago.
The variety of skills and trades used to make this is incredible. Just shows the level of tallent! Great project, top entertainment!

@@mrayco "You will no longer drink coffee on an empty stomach?" Dude you are at the wrong place
You're totally right! 👍🏻
XACTLY!!!
Our brains are a muscle so I believe that.
Good old school. Thanks for the wonderful video. You saved the spirit of the past in these old machines. Proof that a good machine lasts forever. All your videos are great, but these "old-school" ones are a real refresh. Good job👍👍👍
That's some good lathing right there.
Gerald Brooks ha! I came to say the same!
Lol! I’ve been woodworking for 40 years. It’s not called lathing lol.
Came here for this comment, It's only taken me 3 years of listening to get to this episode, only 1 year to go until I'm up to date
The wood The leather The steel
All beautifully put together
I love it how the demonstrations he does at the end of the video are plain simple but give you all the confidence that's a darn steardy chair.
The king of work flow and repeat-ability. You can learn so much from these quick videos its insane.
There's no stopping this guy. Good looking work. I'd love to see more of this type stuff.
A lot of times I watch your videos because it’s neat to see what you come up with, but I wouldn’t want the project myself. I appreciate the craftsmanship, but the aesthetic is not one that calls to me. This one is absolutely gorgeous! I’d love to replace my beat up stools with this. Nice job, Jimmy!
It was fun to see all the old tools get used.
I never get bored watching this master craftsman !
This was classic Jimmy DiResta.....fresh cut wood from a lumber yard, bandsaw, mitre saw, drill press, a little welding, a little leather work, lathe work. And then makes it appear all to easy. Nice work and video Jimmy.
I like how you drilled the holes in the seat a LOT. Simple, precise
Man, I LOVE those blue Rockler clamps!
My favorite designs of any product are beautiful, useful, made to outlast anything and strong.
There is beauty in strength, and there is strength in beauty.
These are beautifully strong. I love them Jimmy Diresta.
Great work sir.
The iron leg braces really do it for me. Looks really good.
Wow! Those stools will survive any bar brawl and skirmish!
Wow, your lathing is so good you must be a master lather!
Lathing??? Do you mean turning? You turn on a lathe....
Stillnapie surely the lathe is the bit that does the turning?! I’ll rewatch but pretty sure he was stood still.
Making It listeners will get it ;p
I love videos where you go from a 75 year old beautiful cast iron machine to a laser back to a 50 year old sander to a new welder. It’s about using whatever tool does the job and makes for a ridiculously unique video. Beautiful work Jimmy.
Love that you used all those classic older machines! the resurrection of those machines is to be commended!and admired!
That wrap around flapper disc is what's up! I like those
That planer you got there, beauty and power all in one.
Awesome work Jimmy, keep it up brother!
The one man factory strikes again! It's the consistency that really impresses me. Beautiful.
Mate thanks for taking us along for the ride That is a very nice build. Great to watch all the different processes.
This is such a great design. I love the combination of wood and metal. Top it off with leather and they are extremely pleasing to the eye. Great job Jimmy. 🔥

My favorite part of these video's is seeing the high quality, restored, antique machinery still being utilized. Of course the products Jimmy makes are magnificent as well. Those bar stools are beautiful.
It's been a while since I've watched your videos. Your shop really has come in to it's own now w/ all of those great old tools. Really nice stuff and great stoools.
I have maybe 1% of your talent but you constantly inspire me to make things. Thank you for constantly sharing your work. I love it.
Just quality. So many skills and techniques and the end result is brilliant. Lockdown joy.
This project really highlights, other than great videography, Mr. Diresta’s unique talent. There are millions of skilled makers. But man! His design ability is so great. I mean every damn wooden stool gets loose at some point. These mechanically can’t dawg! So inspiring. Imna go make something.
it'd be nice for Jimmy to just have a special Page/Link or even a Video for his many Maker Fans, Jimmy-inspired, Project Pics. What do you think Jimmy? Fans can post just the photos of their home projects; you could be like our Giant Cyber Space Refrigerator Door (remember when Mom would post your artwork on the Fridge?). Mike I have also been inspired to get off of my buttox by seeing Jimmy's ambition & creativity -it's contagious. My favorite Jimmy Video is his Next one.
Thank you both 🙏🏼 I often search “DiResta inspired” and see awesome projects 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Another awesome piece of useful art from Jimmy's shop! Love it!
Very cool as always Jimmy. If you only made just these stools for a living you’d be quits in.. just really, really top notch.
RESPECT...
That was some masterful lathing. I Wood not Turn away from watching you Making It.
I really love the old equipment and shop!
As my Dad would say. They are a thing of beauty.
Wow I never saw leather cut like that before......what a great idea!.....beautiful work sir as usual!
Not sure what's classier. The process or the end product. What a delightful conundrum to have.
Man alive those are really nice! All the different techniques come together to make a very appealing stool 🙂
It is always interesting to see the different way you do things to increase your productivity. The cross-slide for shaping the seat top was really good thinking!
Those stools are beautiful! Keep it up Jimmy!
Beautiful work! Pretty cool to see 4 shops and the variety of tools and techniques being used.
Awesome results. Love all the jigs and problem solving. Great way to mark the centers of the legs.
From a fallen walnut tree to a work of art. “In a world where news of inhumanity bombards our sensibilities, where grasping for things goes so far beyond our needs, where time is squandered in busyness, it is a pleasure and a privilege to pause for a look at handiwork, to see beauty amidst utility, and to know that craft traditions begun so long ago serve us today.”
― John Wilson
Those are beautiful! Simple design with so many different disciplines showcased. Very cool design!👍
Jimmy I always love your improvisation those simple cheap quick to make jigs and fixtures made of wood, work a treat something we did as tool poor tool and die, apprentices.
What a phenomenon Diresta! What would become of me, in this quarantine shit, without your jobs! Thank you. I congratulate you, from Buenos Aires.
Beautiful work, and awesome set of vintage tools. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, sir!
You are just an incredibly creative person and a fantastic craftsman. You are also responsible for setting up a small workshop for me!
Few years ago you made some plywood stools...they are still my favorite! And I remember that I asked you a template and...you answered me back!!! To me that's make you a great man!!! Thanks a lot Jimmy!!!👍👍
Did ya make them!??
@@jimmydiresta Unfortunately...no... for a very simple reason : I had to leave my island and go back to France, get a job, get a home, get some tools (because I left the others to my bro)...so it took me time and cost me lot these last years!!! But I still hope to make them soon!!!!
That's quite an ingenious and simple way to make a tube conical, very nice!
Absolutely beautiful!! I would love these in my new home at the breakfast bar!
These look awesome love the contrast of the wood and leather 👍🏻
Very impressive Jimmy! I must say that those are some of the best stools that I have ever seen! Love the combo of steel, wood & leather, amazing!! .........................👍👍😉😉
The Classic Diresta! Love it when you're making styff from scratch.!
As always, simply amazing technique and product. You just keep outdoing yourself. Always fun and inspiring to watch you work. - Chris
Beautiful combination of materials to make a simple object such as a stool so stunning
Looks like the ultimate stool
One of your best jobs, congrats Jimmy.
You would have to be a fool to not like how Jimmy used his tool to create this really cool stool! Just one more project that made me drool😁
always mesmerizing watching you work and create. cool to see the old tools also and that planer.
This must have been fun primarily because of the pile of tools you have had the occasion to use. :)
When someone creative has the talent, then he is DIRESTA. Congratulations.
Jimmy - nice job - best part of your vids are the innovative techniques that you use. Working on my assembly bench - always pick up a technique when i stop by here.
Great demo. Learn something every time. Thanks for showing great approaches to problem solving.
Love the knuckle grinding sanding disc
Oh my goodness, is there anything you can't master ? Such a lot of technics involved and what a magnificent result.
You're the best
Love from France
Jimmy is feeling the love from France too!
Such a fantastic work.
And those skills. Unbeliveble..
Thanks for sharing and inspire us
👍👍👍
Those are beautiful and simple! Love them!
This was an amazing video, watching Jimmy using those gigantic old tools in a very skillful and creative way. Loved the "machining" of those stools tops!
just WOW! Very sturdy and elegant!
The metal frame really sets these apart. Love 'em.
Unbelievable Diresta. Nice work.
I really like most everything I’ve seen you do but I really, really love these.
As always jimmy another superb job, I really like these the finish is brilliant, lots of respect from your friends in England.
What a master....
Thanks.It´s a luxury for my eyes each video...
That lathe is a monster! Keep up the hard work
i like how you intergrate new technologies with your builds, you show how much it can enhance them. you inspire me and my builds thank you.

Those are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Jimmy never disappoints. Thank you for sharing.
Aint nobody like you. Beautiful!
Its insane how far youve come just looking at all these awesome machines you aquired. I just bought my first one a delta rockwell 54 with a 886 and im hooked. It seems like those stools moved through every workstation in your shop. Nice job jimmy and thanks for breaking down the icepick modifications on the live stream. Weaver should let you pick everytime
You really did use every tool in your shop! That’s awesome.
Very nicely done! Wood, metal and leather 👍
Absolutely stunning sir. These may be some of my all time favorites. 👍🏻👍🏻
An excellent combination of materials to meet all the necessary function of a comfortable stool. Thanks Jimmy.
Perfect material combination wood, metal and leather. I love the design and creativity. As always excellent work 👌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
👊🏼👊🏼🙏🏼🤟🏼✊🏻
Killer build, looks like you used a little bit of everything in the shop! The leather top really ties the stool together!!!
You weren't kidding on the podcasts, that lathe is a beast. Normally don't comment but have to say that the shape on the seats with the chamfer from the bottom really adds a cool look. Little different from the normal flat all the way to the edge. Thanks for all your content!
Tim Daley thank you Tim!
