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 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!
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!!
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!!
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.
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 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 ...
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.
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 :-)
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
Artist! Not only the table, but the video production too. Beautiful work. Bravo!
Thank you all for the love ! and support !

Thank you !!!! and every one !!!
Great idea for the filler patches. Always have struggled with the color matching process myself. Beautiful, yet functional art work.
Jimmy, you my friend are scary gifted. Thank you for sharing with us.
This is my favourite DiResta project. Very do-able.
I like the idea for the table. Using thin slats was pretty clever. Nice look too. Thanks Jimmy
It's like a floor but as a table :D DiResta videos are so addicting to watch. The fast forward really does it.
Centuries later Tour guides in museums will say, "And this piece, is a part of 'The Diresta Collection.'"
NO, YOU ARE THEE BOMB, BOOOOOM! I'M ALWAYS SO JAZZED WHEN I FIND A NEW DIRESTA!
awesome as always Jimmy! Even being "hollow", I bet that thing weighs a TON.
Love the resin and sawdust putty, great idea there.
I like the lens, because it gives you a wider view, of what you are doing!
Amazing work!!
Seeing this done so quickly is just so satisfying
I've just been binge watching all of your videos, Jimmy. I'm so inspired to go home and make some dust!
The editing of these videos are always superb.

I was showing a little stanly shoulder plane. You can see it on the table
You never cease to amaze me. You do some great work!
Another great project! Thanks for sharing Jimmy!
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
...especially like the editing of that welding part...thumb up Jimmy!
i never did. the nails are very tinny almost invisible.. thank you for watching !
Awesome as always Jimmy!
Awesome job, love how the table worked out, also loved the style of the table top. Great work.
Wow, that table looks beautiful! I especially like how you used a hollow core on the table top.
You are the man! Very well done and great work of using a small amount of Walnut(?).
Diresta, you are a gd modern day renaissance man. Now you make power tool music videos!
You're a real inspiration, thanks for sharing
wow now thats one gorgeous table right there
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 ...
That table turned out great!
Waited so much for this video. And it was completely worth! You rock DiResta! :D
A fan from Brazil! :D
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.
Love it! Putting on all those pieces on the top looked tedious, but the results are well worth it. Now...about making me one... : )
Wow, awesome table, the amount of work put into this, thanks for putting this and your other work on youtube
i love your editing style, cracks me up, also amazing projects and ideas, thanks for sharing :D
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 :-)

What a beautiful work...
I love your work!
You deserve it! Your work is phenomenal!
Beautiful work, as always; but I had a perverse desire to see the typical Diresta 'sharp object thrust' into the table as the finale. :)
Gorgeous.
This is brilliant!
Nice job... Great idea with timber patchwork, guess the idea could be used for any large scale timberwork...
always inspiring! great job!
Really awesome!
We need more of you!
like a dark double wide bowling table, love it
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!!
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?
Great video. Thank you.

Wow!! I'm waiting your video as if they were Christmas gifts... Good job

Really impressive... a please to watch.

Wood, steel, brass, leather it doesn't matter everything Jimmy does is bad ass. He's part master Craftsman part Mad Scientist.

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.
Genius carpentry 101. Such high class for so cheap and so fast.
I love this!!!
Nice saw!
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
very good work
this was so inspiring! thank you
started with 1x10 x96 walnut Thank you !
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?
Sweet Storm Trooper tools!
What kind of wood is on the surface?
beautiful
your channel just makes me want to be able to do stuff like this!
Great work as always. I'd make it on high polish personally, though. But of course it's a matter of what one like.
Unbelievable ;) nice table!
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.
Ohhh it's so wonderful table
from makes description online: nailed with a pin nailer. The 23 gauge nails are so small they are nearly invisible in the final product
Real nice table
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.
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.
