Fabulous! I have always thought that brass is the working man’s gold: As pretty & yet practical & affordable. Such a delightful tool to make & have. Thank you for sharing!
Received mine in Ca. yesterday. This is a beautiful tool! The weight feels great in the hand. The handle is nice and will be even better after sanding and linseed oil. And it will get used, as nice to look at as it is. I don't own show tools.
Really really wanted to buy one of these hammers, wife did not approve. As we live in Oz this is one of the few things we can brinf in. Icepicks and giant blades need not apply. Happy to see how they were made, sad i dont own one.
When I watch people use a lathe I wonder if it’s possible to collect the shavings and melt them back into a usable shape? I’m sure it’s not economical but it would be an interesting experiment in recycling materials. Amazing looking hammer!
Hi Jimmy. Nice build for the hammer. It's a beautiful piece. I liked how you carved the ball end. I don't think I've ever seen anyone carve like that on a metal lathe!
02/11/24 0:34 been a minute since you’ve done a lathe video 2:52 I got mine. 3:44 3 of them 4:21 I like how you come in with a gouge dial in the roundness 6:43 patreon has the best tips. 7:26 haha love it bc when you do this. 8:07 I like this shot. 10:33 beautiful work glad I got one. Intended for use. Great video as usual. 👊🙏✊
@@docolemnsx it’s for me to know I watched the whole thing and took it in plus this style comment s engaging for the TH-cam Al go Rythym. Jimmy’s the best and if I can help him grow in anyway I will.
@@gallowaylights I’m close friends with him like I said it’s mostly for me. I’ve been watching him for 12 years and going back it’s hard to find the old comments at times. This makes it easier for me to remember what I learned from him in that moment that way 12 years from now I can look back and see what I’ve gained from a particular video. it’s nice to capture a moment in words. I wish I did it twelve years ago when i started watching him. He knows why I’m doing it and I guess that’s all that matters.
I just found a brass hammer from my grandfathers tools that were in a box at dads. It shined up nice. It has a big nice handle I was able to save. Must be 60 -70 years old dad thinks
Glad I rejoined the Patreon to get the heads up for this, just wish I hadn't spent my last extra $200 on a few Starbucks and fast food runs last week. Okay, that's minor hyperbole, but it's still crazy how that stuff adds up these days. At least I can get the machining zen this morning for free! I'm inspired to get working on my projects (after I finish coffee). Thanks!
Espectacular trabajo maestro,uos martillos de ajuste divinos de la muerte, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜
Tip for turning Brass, Bronze and Zinc. Turn the cuttung tool upside down and run the lathe is reverse. That way chips go ino the chip pan and not all over the shop.
As much fun as brass is to machine, I really dont miss that fine spray of swarf you get when turning. Especially when going for the high speed shallow finishing passes!
Is it weird to call a hammer beautiful lol. I have followed your channel for years now and my dad used to do a lot of metal working like that. It’s kind of ironic that you should happen to put this video today because we were just talking last night about the metal work that he and I used to do. He had an old Smithy lathe/end mill that I always enjoyed working on. I do primarily wood working but I wish I had a metal lathe in my shop to as they are so incredibly useful. Great project.
Best of luck selling your hammers! 🔨 I have a nice brass hammer, didn't make it myself and it's likely mass produced, not a limited, premium piece like this of course but has served me well. 👍
So I’m in a Walmart superstore and I’m going through the tool department and I look down and see something that says I MAKE and right then and there I knew where I have seen that. And I says to myself that’s jimmy diresta it has to be an sure enough it is that’s wicked kool that is just one way to get kids or really anyone to try and make something and put something together and then it opens up so many possibilities and just might have an impact on someone’s life
7:23 🤣😂😆 Brilliant!!! This brass hammer is absolutely gorgeous... but unfortunately not in my budget. For those who do get their hands on them: are you going to use it, or frame it in and hang it on the wall like the piece of art that it is?
7:23 i think we need more mouth sound edits, that was beautiful
7:27 shop sounds are so soothing
Anyone else find watching metal work on a lathe almost hypnotic…? I love it. 😊
Funny you should use the word hypnotized.....I've been barking at cars all afternoon.
Love the technique employed at 7:23 - very ingenious!
I love these videos. And the dubbed in sound effects made my morning! Thanks Jimmy! Beautiful brass hammers.
The sound effects made me laugh. Great work on the project.
Fabulous! I have always thought that brass is the working man’s gold: As pretty & yet practical & affordable. Such a delightful tool to make & have. Thank you for sharing!
I agree the milling the eye sounds were a fun treat in this video. Really appreciate your willingness to work with us on this project!

Just gave me a great idea for my surplus brass and bronze. Thank you Jimmy for all your knowledge and inspiration.
Beautiful craftsmanship.
He's having some fun with us around 7:30!

7:21 bless you for fixing the audio, oh man Heroic editing!
Your foley artist deserves a raise.

Great project, gorgeous Hammer. Made myself brass hammers a couple of years ago, as you say, indispensable in the 'shop .
Had to laugh at the dub overs at around 7:23 Thank you, Jimmy!

Always beautiful work! Perfect! I can watch you make things all day! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Absolutely amazing watching you work Sir always so awesome to see you make the things you make. Thanks for sharing
Now those hammers are fantastic Jimmy! Well done & I hope that sales go well! 🔨🔨👍👍
Chefs kiss to the sound effects !!!!
My partner and I always make machine noises, when you did it we cried laughing 😂
Talk about precision work.Wow that is a beautiful hammer.Well done.Btw worth every penny.
A hammer suitable for framing! Nice work Jimmy!!
Hmmmm A framing hammer
Will be an excellent addition, order placed!
great product and content as always Jimmy
The patina on that brass bar was kinda nice.
Hello Jimmy Diresta beautiful hammer beautifully done good job

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care my friend.
Beautiful work on the brass hammer. Great video.
Stunning hammers, Jimmy! Really beautiful work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Brilliant. Great uses and beautifully made.
Thanks Jimmy, love watching the lathe! ❤
Gorgeous,tapping into your vast array of talents I see 😄
Such a nice tool. Can't wait for mine to show up!
Very nice Jimmy! It's always a treat watching your vids! Cheers!
00:02:44 Wow! You're never going to want to see another brass hammer again!😂 thanks for the sacrifice!
I always get a kick of you turning on the metal lathe like it is a wood lathe. 😀
Love the product development!! Also my wife loves her Diresta tote. She gets tons of compliments on it.
😊
That was cool. I've never seen wood lathe tools used on a metal lathe.
And now I finally know what you've been making in there. 😁 Great looking hammer! And sound effects provided by Giaco perhaps? Thanks for sharing!
You could make a copper / rawhide hammer, which is used to remove or tighten knock off wheels on classic cars.
Triplet hammers very good work congratulations 😊
Jimmy, i use a paint brush to block the spraying chips on brass and cast iron.
Good idea
Espectacular trabajo maestro,uos martillos de ajuste divinos de la muerte, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜
Imagine how much work Jimmy could get done if he actually worked that fast in real life! 🤔
Beautiful work as always Jimmy
Nice Hammer. Any more videos of the house renovation coming?
Thanks for sharing.
Tip for turning Brass, Bronze and Zinc. Turn the cuttung tool upside down and run the lathe is reverse. That way chips go ino the chip pan and not all over the shop.
Ya beat me to the punch!
Beautiful 🙌
And I love the drilling sounds 😂
Like the sound effects of the whole expansion 😂😂😂
I love turning brass
Id love to see you cast some of these, just to see how it would differ in the clean up process
Skew chisel and sound FX bleedin’ marvellous.
I might need one of those for your bags 🫣😉
good man Jimmy. Great work as always. Thank you for the video!
As much fun as brass is to machine, I really dont miss that fine spray of swarf you get when turning. Especially when going for the high speed shallow finishing passes!
That’s a piece of art Sir. $200 is a steal. P.s. the drilling sound made me smile. 👍🏼

I died laughing at the machine voice over! More please!
Jimmy seus vídeos são inspiração para mim a muito tempo, muito obrigado por tudo. Saudações do Brasil.😊
I want to see the pile of brass chips under the mill and lathe when he's done with the 200 hammers. Melt them down and make something else!
Beautiful. Love the sound effects. 😂
LOL! Those are some quality sound effects!
And the best mill noise imitation award goes to........ Jimmy DiResta! 🎉
Nice work and the snazziest sounding mill in town!
So I’m in a Walmart superstore and I’m going through the tool department and I look down and see something that says I MAKE and right then and there I knew where I have seen that.

Love it, beautiful hammers!
Beautiful hammer 👍
my cat started growling when you were milling the handle holes in the hammer heads.
The fast motion sound of the mill sounds like a minion😂
Jimmy! Yer hammers appealing and practical, but brass can do a lot of damage. I prefer the softer touch of an aluminum hammer. Keep up the good work!
7:23 lol xD made my day, thx!
I would love to see what a collaboration between Jimmy Diresta and Adam Booth would yield.
That milling really brought you to the knee 😅
Cool video. Awesome hammer. Mahalo for sharing!
Gotta get the mill z driver key with a cordless. Your arms gotta be on fire after all these.😂❤🔥
👌 awesome work!
That is the best sounding drill. I could not stop laughing. Thank you.
Although it is a very beautiful hammer. at $200 who is going to beat on it. Not in my lifetime, but I do love you Jimmy.
Very nice hammer 🔨👍💯
7:23 - Most scientifically accurate mill sounds ever..... 😂❤
I missed watching Jimmy videos.
Pretty.
7:23 🤣😂😆 Brilliant!!!
This brass hammer is absolutely gorgeous... but unfortunately not in my budget. For those who do get their hands on them: are you going to use it, or frame it in and hang it on the wall like the piece of art that it is?
I got the paskmakes one very useful
Quite the...uh...flared bases you got on those...uh....hammer heads...
Nice idea
Beautiful Hammers Jimmy. I would love one but my wife would kill me. LOL I want to live a little longer.
The Art.
Beautiful hammer 💪
@3:13 northcarolina represent!
7:20 is best part of this build 🤣🤣🤣
Geez...actually nodded off ...not from bordom but the asmr from this was quite relaxing.
