- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PST), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy makes a Victorian looking key for a vintage lock he found at a flea market.
For Jimmy's notes, tools and materials lists, and sketchbook images, see the post on MAKE: blog.makezine.c...

That... Was... AWESOME! Retro-engineering a key from the lock. Of course! Now that I've seen it, it makes perfect sense! Jimmy, you're a genius! That was amazingly cool.
I think this is probably my favorite project of yours Jimmy. It's just such a simple project, fun and has a quick return with the lock and key that's useful, plus you learn something when you take it apart and put it back together to make it work. I must have watched this video more than 30 times already. Great video jimmy.
This is what separates u from the rest you’ve got all the big machines but your also great on the hand tools respect brother!!!!!!
Top make. Really enjoyed the whole thing, the speed up motion/sound bits and the whole practical lesson, without a boring talk over - great job! Something children of the western world generally don't have a clue about - good days in school, metal & woodwork here in the UK, sadly no more.
Please more metal work make things!
You cease to amaze me Jimmy.
I have been a Locksmith for almost 20 years....locksmithing originated from blacksmithing....so this video was really cool to watch.....thanks !!!!
This is without a shadow of a doubt my new FAVOURITE TH-cam channel!!!
How I envy the patience of this crafty people!
Make a few more and you'll have enough to make a huge star key out of them! Handy!
Love the videos, Jimmy.
That was awesome, not just the key and lock but the process itself was cool to watch
I'm not even into this sort of thing, but I could watch this guy all day.
I just love locksmithing ! Thanks
you know Mr. Diresta I so look forward to your videos that when I find a new one as I did here, I consider it the high-light of my week I know, I know ! And no I don't get out much.
Although he didn't file the wards on the key for opening the lock from the other side
I don't believe there is any thing that you can't make, always interesting & educating videos all with out words so any one in the world can see & learn from your skills. I was interested in your coffin build as I've been a Coffin maker for 42 years. I will never be short of work just would love to work with metal like your self for a change from wood. From Rick, O, Mortis, THE COFFIN MAKER.
Karl Gibson thank you! where do you work?! i have been intrigued by coffins since a kid.
Mega bad azz!! Great video. I just started watching these, stumbled on 'em. Great find. Don't stop the music.
Awesome skills!!! Props on the well equipped workshop. My son and I enjoyed this clip. He's a 4 year old key fanatic
This was an AWESOME project, I love old stuff, so that might be why I was so interested in this video.
I've watched quite a few of your vids, and I have to say, you're not only a craftsman in the things you build, but also the videos that you record: sparse and "bare", but also, for instance during the fast forward sections, very tonal and rhythmic. I don't know that you plan them that way or look at them like that, but if not, you have a inherent sense of the art of presentation.
That was awesome, I love the look of old locks and keys.
Great job, cool to see ya take it apart and back engineer piece by piece and fine tune it and actually use it.. I always liked Skelton keys, probly bc in my old house we actually used them to lock/un bed rm/cupboard everything except the front and back dr.
Fascinating! I would love to see you make some things that people without such an awesome shop and expensive tools could make - you know, something the viewer could try at home- but overall just AWESOME! Thank you for sharing hope you keep it up!
It's so pleasant for me to watch your art of creation!
Thumbs up, another work of art.
Very cool! You don't see many of those old locks around anymore.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It was like watching my Dad's hands at work. Something I have not been able to do for a long long time. The skills and talents :)
Love it, Jimmy! Great new re-use of an old lock
thank you all for the positive comments !
Skeleton key opens many many locks would that key do that but your skills with metal are probley the best I've seen on TH-cam id say your a meatball work teacher great skill keep up the good work
i need it for my dungeon right now... no, seriusly O_O WOW and i'm not able to cut a simple branch... this is awesome
Oh, that's all?
Good lord I never realized how much work could go into making an old style key. The ridiculous fast forward made this really entertaining to watch.
Since this is an old lock I am wondering how the welded things before modern tools?
Wish I had listened to my metalwork teacher a bit more. Nice workmanship .
Very nice. Thanks so much for posting this!
i just love your work, man. big fan
Great video Jimmy, I look forward to seeing them.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! I love it.
Very fine work. Impressive!
That was really neat to watch... It really was...
It's a TIG (tungsten inert gas) welder. A tungsten wire in the handle sends electricity into the base metal creating a very large spark essentially. The heat from this melts the base metals, allowing them to be welded together. The rod in his hand is extra filler metal to fill in the gap left behind. More or less oxy-acetylene welding, but with electricity instead.
This is magnificent!
Perfect Job!
Keep making!
We have an antique bathroom door that uses a skeleton key. But we have never had one for it. I bought 2 styles online that were suspected to work, but neither did. I would love to have a functioning lock...30 years here and never been able to lock our bathroom door. I would love to make one...if I had all the tools needed.
Loved it, pretty awesome. You have a nice skill...
Fantastic. Another entertaining vid.
This key remembers me some Tim burton movies
more videos please DiResta!
It is to prolong the life of the saw and to make it easier to cut. The oil lubricates the saw teeth and helps clear stuck metal fragments which would typically make the sawing more efficient. Without a lubricant, the metal bits would fill in the gaps between the saw teeth and the saw would essentially become a flat but of metal. With the oil, the metal bits do not stick into the spaces between the teeth and the saw will have more "teeth" available to cut the metal.
First commenting on the video itself? Love DiResta's stuff. Always excited when I see a new video of his pop up in my feed. I would love to have the resources to do this stuff.
Would love to see more of these making key videos.
Seriously, I can watch these videos alll damn day!!
thank you for the touching note !!
Diresta always has an interesting video. I totally have to make myself something like this...
favorite thing on make
Amazing. That's art.
this one, about 2 hours. thank you for the love!
Love this video!!!!
DAAAAMn man, quite usefull, never thouth on using clay to see the dimenion on that .....RESPECT for the great skills !!!!
How does he manage to work in such a quiet environment? No radio, I would go insane! !
Very well done!
Wow! Is there anything that you can't do? Very impressive!
Was about to comment on the cool little hack of the bit of ply on the bottom of the oil bottle to stop it falling over and then it fell off the vice hahaha still a good idea though and a great video as always
i'd still lose that key
wow you are very skilled at metal work
i love your movies, great work ! :)
so gonna make one for my bedroom!
That's bad ass! Good job man
these videos are awesome !!!!!!!
Bur very Nice work !!!
Cool key, i like!
that's just about the manliest video i've ever watched
This was cool!
Good work man 👍🏻
man that was fun as hell to watch! nice rolex btw ;)
"So what you do today?"
"Oh made a key, from scratch"
"Like a Boss.."
Brutal key for brutal lock
Отличная работа !
nice work !
Thats so cool!
that was a tig welder, works somewhat the same way as a blowtorch, except it uses current instead of fire
Nice key! I carry one on my keychain, most of the doors in my house still have old locks. Bet that would look great with some copper sulfate for that yeh olde key look.
the all mighty jimmy
A M A Z I N G !
I love your speeded up videos, they are cool
5.50 dont try this at home lol
Damned, I love these videos.
Is there any tool or machine for crafting you don't have?
That explains, why handcraft is so expensive sometimes.
I really love it.
Stuff like this is getting rare these days because of all these factory produced items.
Well done.
With some very basic tools you could to the same thing. The hardest part would be the welding, but there are ways to weld without a welder.
Amazing Love your video
Awesome bro
all this machines to make key !!
You're very smart I love your videos
Well done... Like Fort Knox
The base on the can of oil could be put in a Jimmy tips video.
Nice work
Ah Good OLE" 3in1 oil . Has got to be the best oil ever made (besides wd-40)
Awesome job a usual Mr Jimmy!!!
Thanks again !
chuck it up in a drill press, use a file and sandpaper, and check your progress with an appropriate "go/no go" gauge. it might not be pretty, but it will work fine. and if you mean the dial calipers, they shouldn't cost you more than 15 bucks. if thats out of your price range, a set of leaf gauges and dividers shouldn't run you more than 7, and they can be used to infer the measurement.
HELLA COOL !!!!!!
Nice video!!!!!
This was a interesting 6:21 minutes.Thank you
Impressive!
i like the 3in1 anti spill device
the thumbnail didnt load and i read skeleton key, damn i was hoping for some badass skyrim prop. this is really cool though
Jimmy is badass
