For this project video, watch as I show you how to make a vintage style 2 stage traditional blacksmith bellows. This blacksmithing bellows pumps air on both strokes of the pull arm! At the end of the video, watch as I use a drum break forge that I welded up from materials that I found. Enjoy!

Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Sometimes I like to pretend the giant machines are normal sized, and Jimmy is only a few feet tall.
?
You are so creative.
I usually don’t like it when I get a subtle safety hazard in a shop environment but, I have to say that angry router laying on the work surface from this view makes me think twice before doing that again. Good job Jimmy!! You probably saved my fingers. Love the videos and all the things you create.
The white vise brought back some memories from way back when Jimmy painted all his power tools white.
You've ear it a thousand times but you can handle a thousand more. "YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION".
DiResta double tap! Today is a good day!
The 10-ice-pick-patterning technique is the coolest and ripping leather strips on the table is the scariest thing I've ever seen you do 😂
Jimmy here is using some modern technology as a short cut.
In the days before things like batteries, they had to use their own breath to power their nail guns. Some smiths would have had an apprentice do this for them, and the most well-funded of smiths may have had a horse or an ox to power their nail gun
;)
When you can't find them, MAKE them!!! What a build, beautiful!
Leaving the router running like a gangster wow 👏 🙌
He truly is the bandsaw whisperer 🙏
I've been using bellows since 2008 and made many pairs since then. I have tried many variations of each component there are several things I would recommend doing a different way for longer reliability. There is a missing check valve in the nozzle, this is a major safety issue especially when the bellows are positioned below the firepot. coal gas is able to flow down the tueere and back into the lower chamber of the bellows between heats causing the bellows to explode. I have had this happen totally destroyed the bellows beyond repair sending the contents of the firepot 20+ feet in the air.
Good to know that was a thing....
A thing of beauty and a joy forever... but with that attention to the stencil and NO overspray, can we be sure this is the real Jimmy DiResta?
Im just glad the oscillating tool gets some damn respect around here! Very under-utilized and under-appreciated tool right there!
Very cool! This is classic DiResta. This project have you the opportunity to use a whole bunch of different skills.
The troll food is high in this one... Love it!
Haha. Jimmy trolling with the running router.
It's amazing how fast he works!
Wow, I think that is first video about building this thing on YT...
Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱 🍻
That router safety, damn! How Jimmy is still alive is a true mystery 🤣
And yet he is Captain OSHA

The router had me on the edge of my seat, and then the bandsaw made me wonder how he can still count to ten! Years of being in tune with the tool I guess.
@@seank8689 And yet he has all 10 Captain OSHA
It felt as though you were making a giant set of lungs and such a fine result too: when your steel is exactly hot from the forge and isn't showering lots of sparks! A true heirloom bellows.
I can never get enough of your technique to make circular collars by banging them into shape.
I don’t know if I’m more jealous that you have the skills, ability and equipment to make this, or that you have the opportunity to even try to make this - excellent work Mr. D.
Love all the wigglesaw action!!! Great build as always!
Wohooow that’s a massive bellows!! Good job Jimmy, good job - like always 👏👏👍👍. Best regards from Germany.
When I saw the thunbnail I didnt even imagine you could make bellows this big, yo
"Is... Is Jimmy cutting a lap with a band saw?
Jimmy's cutting a lap on a bandsaw."
_Nice_
I watch all of your videos, but for some reason almost didn't see this one. What fun this was watching!!!!! Awesome!
Eres un verdadero Genio!!!
El Leonardo del Siglo 21........
I live your projects!!!!
Jimmy, your bandsaw skills never cease to amaze me!
medieval , maybe even older !!! excellent DIY research by you Sir !!!
The Wood. The Leather. The Steel!! The Fire!!
Sick one again Jimmy!!
Probably the coolest build I’ve ever seen. So many elements and skills at each step really stretches the mind toward problem solving and creativity. Thanks.
loving all the new camera angles!
All these back to back uploads are a Christmas dream come true and it ain’t even Thanksgiving. You the man Jimmy
Going back to the old way, excellent 👌
Giant, beautiful and handmade just like traditional ones. A truly record-breaking project. Excellent
What a life! Thank you for the inspiration. Keep up the good work. More please.
The master of creativity the legit MAKER diresta..good to see more video idol...thumbs up!
😍 isn’t leather amazing? Sew it, glue it, screw it, run it through a circular saw! Love it!
Your videos keep my creative mind going! Thanks
Cool project Jimmy, and don't worry about the haters that helped their grandparents forge back in the 1970s, lol!
Man, that bandsaw and sander are a beast. :)
The whole beginning all I could think was he is making the Millennium Falcon!!
I knew where you wanted to go. I just didn’t know how you were going to get there. Thanks for taking us on the journey. Great job!
I don't know why but it is just most mesmerizing thing to watch stat thing work. Great work Jimmy
Well, there's something you don't see everyday. Is this a Guiness Book thing? They're the largest bellows I've ever seen! Very cool!!
Jimmy throws a sheet of wood onto some sawhorses.....
Slow motion walks away with Gangster Paradise playing in the background.
Jimmy is the only person I know who can cut a bevel on a piece of wood on a table saw freehand
I have a Matthias feeling about this one. It's awesome !
I love it, when I saw the title I thought you were going to make a smaller one to use in the Sauna that you moved, nope go big or go home! Great job, it looks fantastic!
It was a lot of work and skills went into making a big almost breathless bellows it would seem
I know it's too late now, but you should try watching Jimmy build something when you don't know what he's building. I missed the first minute or so of him building this huge bellows, so you can imagine what I was thinking..?? Huh? But just for the heck of it I didn't go back and check to see what it he was building!! Try it! Start watching this video not knowing what he's building. Is it an alien deathray? A huge flower? A weird kind of game? Some kind of lawn ornament? A new contraption to sort nuts and bolts? Oh what could his creative medieval madness reveal? Pretty funny. Then when I first realized what it was, I laughed and said "of course it is, it's obvious!" Great work Jimmy as always.
This is completely off the wall but your videos ( the sound of them sped up) remind me of the old gumby cartons. Ive been trying to put my finger on it for quite sometime and it came to me watching this video! Not sure why and cant reference one but that's it. I love all the content, thanks for all you do for the maker community,. Be well and merry christmas
Talent !
2:24 Bravo, jimmydiresta, the best.
DiResta making shop class interesting, even to a PC nerd like me.
Whoa! Jimmy! Where's the love. Slow down, talk to us a little. Wham Bam thanks Ma'am comes to mind!
Remember, we love ya Jimmy!
Now, that’s more like a new DIRESTA video !
Thanks 🙏
I am calling this a "Double Video DiResta Day"! Nice work Jimmy on that bellows. Now you need to hook it up to a mechanically operated foot pedal device! 👍👍😉😉👏👏
Master of the bandsaw
JD might be the best @ trolling the trolls🤣
We have taken a glimpse into the life of a prototype Quality Assurance specialist
My favorite part is how he left the router running while he moved those clamps around, Jimmy you are an animal! Thanks
Like the old times 👍🏻
The old jimmy would have cnc’d this. You’ve changed!
Nah just trolling, really fun build to watch. Interesting that you can cut leather of the sawstop. Thanks.
Very clever Mr Bond
great build! Amongst the most complex builds i've seen you do
you are the best jimmy
Astounding work, every time.
Again an amazing project of of your hands! I've been a fan for a long time, and follow both your TH-cam and podcast. Your skill and Bravery to tackle crazy projects is inspiring. I'll keep watching and listening, even though my ears bleed every time I hear the sped up router, but the fine cutter takes the cake. Wow a noise :)
Would be fun if you assigned an instrument to every tool, and replaced them in editing, I'm well aware that I'd be a lot of work.
Keep up the good work Jimmy.
Best regards
Morten
Yes the router was harsh. Not sure if he sped the footage faster than he normally does but usually every video I watch for him sounds decent or funny or quirky. I had to skip the router portion, that's a first.
Nice Job! Old School.
Already looks antique. Amazing as usual
Back to back videos! You’re so good to us Jimmy, don’t you have a trailer to finish?! 😂🙏
😇😇😇😇
You never stop amazing me with your builds!!!! Epic bello!!!!
The router trolling is strong in this one...... :D
what a set of hands
From Egypt with love ❤ jimmy
Great work! 👏
Greetings from: Sweden 🇸🇪
Cheers Jimmy - 2 videos in a weekend is really spoiling us ;)
Question: Don’t you need a valve on the outlet to prevent it from sucking the fire back in?
That moment at 20:59 - so good after all that hard work. Well done Jimmy.
So cool! I’ve always wanted to make one of these to use for a traditional smelt
awesome build jimmy.
so talented and skillfull
drop a weight on the top lung to get more pressure and a faster return. Epic project dude, very cool
Speechless.
Now that's blowing a lot of hot air. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
Good job Jimmy Diresta beautifully done i like your work
Awesome video and build. Mahalo for sharing!😊🐒
Nice job Jimmy!
Asombroso!!! Cada día me sorprendes más!!!
You have such an amazing mind and skill to put it together. Always amazing work.
Great idea. Love the look and build. Thanks for sharing.
I’m buying that jig saw today. It looks incredible
Jimmy’s a got damn madman lol ! That’s why he’s the master maker
Wow 2 DiResta videos in one day, it's early Christmas :D
Two for one!
Did I tell you that I look forward to your videos? Every weekend I wonder: What's Jimmy Diresta up to? And I am NEVER disappointed!!
I have an actual old bellows close to the same size. They look remarkable similar - very cool!
