I love the idea of the plywood frame with the veneer strips - I never would have thought of that! Excellent video (as always) and a great project idea!
Dudes, in these times of doing-absolutely-nothing-but-computer-stuff your video absolutely moved me. The actual piece work and the way the whole thing is edited, I can't just not say MORE!
I noticed you sanded right over the nails you put in holding the slats down - you didn't have any problem with them tearing up the paper? How visible were the nails when it was done?
Jimmy Thank you for sharing your work, I see from Spain and I love the way you work , your designs. I am also a carpenter but here works very differently ...
Wow this truly turned out beautiful. I wish I knew how to make and build things. Mr. DiResta you are a true Master Woodsman. thank you for sharing with us :-)
the epoxy and the polyurethane leave different stains on the walnut , so i sealed it first with heavy coat of the poly it also to fill small cracks> epoxy > sand > poly...thank you
Jimmy, this is my 4th time watching this You did a fantastic job. That table would be a great dinning table too. Your talent really does pays off. Keep up with the great work!!
Just found this series and your own channel. Real inspiration. If I had half the knowledge of you I would be very happy. Looking forward to more videos from you.
nice! looks like a massive version of my work desk. it was an old metal frame with oak floorboards for the top i found in a mates shed. it had been in there for about 25 years! i got rid of the rust, painted it black and sanded and waxed the top. gota say it looks better than anything i could find ina shop and apart from tthe paint and wax it was free! Love the vid diresta, keep em coming!!
Hmm, I don't understand why you first applied a finish BEFORE applying the epoxy to the knot holes, since you then sanded the entire top down to bare wood afterwards. Was that a mistake?
instead you should try and make some of the stuff. it's so much better when you make something even if it's slanted and looks like shit you can say damn I made that
+Jason Becker I agree with you, I'm the worst carpenter in the world but have started trying to make a few things. They are not perfect but I still like them, some have been pretty cool just imperfect
Now that's how you make a few pieces of walnut? go a very long way! Great job, I may appropriate this technique. Hanging out for your next vid, thirsty for more.
I always wondered how the meeting table at work was made. The legs are different but the top is made like yours with strips but in an oval shape. Thanks for showing me.
Why coat the table in poly urethane, then epoxy fill the holes and sand back to raw timber again? Why not just fill the holes with saw dusted epoxy then sand and finish with PU?
That's one way to use up all those scraps. I'd be interested in knowing two things; 1) How long did it take to build? 2) Was this based on a design from the customer or did you design it? I love the simplicity of the whole project.
When you were mixing the glue with the saw dust I was wondering what the hell you were doing that for lol. Turned out to be a really smart idea! Definitely using that one. :D
Did anyone else see the book-end looking thing move between 0:33 - 0:36. Top right of the screen up on the shelf. On my computer it is above the A in Make
I wish you could slow it down and share a part of the process with us. I don't need instant gratification to appreciate your art, artwork/woodwork. Beautiful table by the way. You are quite talented being able to work with iron and woodwork sir. Thank you for sharing this with us I look forward to seeing many more of your videos.
Normally you show what you use for the finish, but you had a can with no label. What did you use to stain/protect the table top? I would like to do a smaller version of this with that awesome finish. And by the way, awesome table, probably my favorite table I have seen you do.
When you cut the veneer strips is there a reason to use a table saw instead of a band saw? Love this project. Love your work. Want to steel half your shop. Currently trying to copy your mallet project.
Thank you all for the love ! and support !
Artist! Not only the table, but the video production too. Beautiful work. Bravo!
Centuries later Tour guides in museums will say, "And this piece, is a part of 'The Diresta Collection.'"
Thank you !!!! and every one !!!
I've just been binge watching all of your videos, Jimmy. I'm so inspired to go home and make some dust!
This is my favourite DiResta project. Very do-able.
I love the idea of the plywood frame with the veneer strips - I never would have thought of that! Excellent video (as always) and a great project idea!

Diresta, you are a gd modern day renaissance man. Now you make power tool music videos!
You're a real inspiration, thanks for sharing
Seeing this done so quickly is just so satisfying
It's like a floor but as a table :D DiResta videos are so addicting to watch. The fast forward really does it.
Jimmy, you my friend are scary gifted. Thank you for sharing with us.
awesome as always Jimmy! Even being "hollow", I bet that thing weighs a TON.
wow now thats one gorgeous table right there
Amazing work!!
You never cease to amaze me. You do some great work!
Jimmy Thank you for sharing your work, I see from Spain and I love the way you work , your designs. I am also a carpenter but here works very differently ...
Awesome job, love how the table worked out, also loved the style of the table top. Great work.
i never did. the nails are very tinny almost invisible.. thank you for watching !
Wow this truly turned out beautiful. I wish I knew how to make and build things. Mr. DiResta you are a true Master Woodsman. thank you for sharing with us :-)
Wow, awesome table, the amount of work put into this, thanks for putting this and your other work on youtube
Awesome as always Jimmy!
The editing of these videos are always superb.
I like the idea for the table. Using thin slats was pretty clever. Nice look too. Thanks Jimmy
i love your editing style, cracks me up, also amazing projects and ideas, thanks for sharing :D
Great idea for the filler patches. Always have struggled with the color matching process myself. Beautiful, yet functional art work.
NO, YOU ARE THEE BOMB, BOOOOOM! I'M ALWAYS SO JAZZED WHEN I FIND A NEW DIRESTA!
the epoxy and the polyurethane leave different stains on the walnut , so i sealed it first with heavy coat of the poly it also to fill small cracks> epoxy > sand > poly...thank you
Beautiful work, as always; but I had a perverse desire to see the typical Diresta 'sharp object thrust' into the table as the finale. :)
i like diresta. he can make things extremly good.
Love the resin and sawdust putty, great idea there.
Jimmy, this is my 4th time watching this You did a fantastic job. That table would be a great dinning table too. Your talent really does pays off. Keep up with the great work!!
Me gusta mucho los trabajos que haces Jimmy...gracias desde España por compartir tu talento
You are the man! Very well done and great work of using a small amount of Walnut(?).
I was showing a little stanly shoulder plane. You can see it on the table
Wow, that table looks beautiful! I especially like how you used a hollow core on the table top.
I like the lens, because it gives you a wider view, of what you are doing!
Wood, steel, brass, leather it doesn't matter everything Jimmy does is bad ass. He's part master Craftsman part Mad Scientist.

like a dark double wide bowling table, love it
Waited so much for this video. And it was completely worth! You rock DiResta! :D
A fan from Brazil! :D
That table turned out great!
Just found this series and your own channel. Real inspiration. If I had half the knowledge of you I would be very happy.
Looking forward to more videos from you.
Another great project! Thanks for sharing Jimmy!
haha Thank you !!! love it! happy to help

Love the vid diresta, keep em coming!!
the things you're creatin' are soo amazing!!!
Hmm, I don't understand why you first applied a finish BEFORE applying the epoxy to the knot holes, since you then sanded the entire top down to bare wood afterwards. Was that a mistake?
Wow. That is gorgeous.
What kind of wood is on the surface?
...especially like the editing of that welding part...thumb up Jimmy!
Maxium respect. Really enjoying these vids. Thanks.
always awesome jimmy!!!!
Wie immer ein cooles Design und eine tolle Arbeit. HUT AB!!!
Danke für das Video!
that's badass. i want those bookshelves too. wish i had the money to get Jimmy to make me furniture like this
instead you should try and make some of the stuff. it's so much better when you make something even if it's slanted and looks like shit you can say damn I made that
+Jason Becker I agree with you, I'm the worst carpenter in the world but have started trying to make a few things. They are not perfect but I still like them, some have been pretty cool just imperfect
Gorgeous.
Genius carpentry 101. Such high class for so cheap and so fast.
What a beautiful work...
very cool design, a good inspiration for my next dining- room table 👍👍👍
Now that's how you make a few pieces of walnut? go a very long way! Great job, I may appropriate this technique. Hanging out for your next vid, thirsty for more.
You deserve it! Your work is phenomenal!
We need more of you!
Go Pro wide angle lens? Mixed feelings about that lens for close up viewing
Great work, as always.
Nice job... Great idea with timber patchwork, guess the idea could be used for any large scale timberwork...
I always wondered how the meeting table at work was made. The legs are different but the top is made like yours with strips but in an oval shape. Thanks for showing me.
Love it! Putting on all those pieces on the top looked tedious, but the results are well worth it. Now...about making me one... : )
Beautiful work as always! Keep it up.
Beautiful!
You have the skills...very talented.
I love your work!
This is brilliant!
Another fine job Jimmy. Wish I could work that fast...
Top notch editing Jimmy!
А что за прибор (пневматический пистолет?) которым мастер щелкает по доскам после того, как намазал их клеем? Для чего он?
Great video. Thank you.
Great work as always. I'd make it on high polish personally, though. But of course it's a matter of what one like.
always inspiring! great job!
your channel just makes me want to be able to do stuff like this!
love your work
really nailed this one...
Why coat the table in poly urethane, then epoxy fill the holes and sand back to raw timber again? Why not just fill the holes with saw dusted epoxy then sand and finish with PU?
Walnut has open grain. He was sealing the grain to give the final finish a nice smooth shine.
Beautiful piece sir. Hope it's going to a good home!
That's one way to use up all those scraps. I'd be interested in knowing two things;
1) How long did it take to build?
2) Was this based on a design from the customer or did you design it?

Really awesome!
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!!
When you were mixing the glue with the saw dust I was wondering what the hell you were doing that for lol. Turned out to be a really smart idea! Definitely using that one. :D
Modern design 10+
Did anyone else see the book-end looking thing move between 0:33 - 0:36. Top right of the screen up on the shelf. On my computer it is above the A in Make
+Jake Capizzi the plywood sheet he moved created a gust of wind that moved that thing and the shadow made it look more dramatic.
Really impressive... a please to watch.
@jimmydiresta what did you use at the very end to seal the table? The can had no label?
polyurethane i often use.. satin finish thank you
Hey jimmy, what is the stuff you brush on the metal to stop if from rusting before you laquer it. thanks.
I love this!!!
this was so inspiring! thank you
Amazing! Question: Are you able to see the tacks or nails that you used to hold those top pieces on with or does the varnish fill the holes?
I wish you could slow it down and share a part of the process with us. I don't need instant gratification to appreciate your art, artwork/woodwork. Beautiful table by the way. You are quite talented being able to work with iron and woodwork sir. Thank you for sharing this with us I look forward to seeing many more of your videos.
+MAE HAY you know youtube has a feature of slowing down and speeding up ;) just press the menu button on the left to the fullscreen button
from makes description online: nailed with a pin nailer. The 23 gauge nails are so small they are nearly invisible in the final product
Normally you show what you use for the finish, but you had a can with no label. What did you use to stain/protect the table top? I would like to do a smaller version of this with that awesome finish. And by the way, awesome table, probably my favorite table I have seen you do.
beautiful!

Love this project.
Love your work.
