To be clear I want to scratch the new floor. That is the goal. Jk Ill ad feet pads. Relax.
ahhh! I see.
You do you. It's your floor. Stools look great!
I had to delete my comment after I read this...I honestly wasn't sure if you really wanted the scarring look or not!
I assumed your first project in the leather studio was to make little ”L” profile leather socks, copper riveted to the feet☺ Great job on the stools!
I think that holding it incorrectly while moving it could cause harm, so I suggested flogging
The fact that Diresta is the name many hold as the diy KZheadr beacon, it still impresses me that it clearly hasn't gone to your head. Your humility makes your videos as homey and approachable as the first ones. Thank you sir for the consistency and entertainment
While I appreciate the traditional Diresta-style silent movie, I really appreciate the insights into the mental process as Jimmy is learning a new skill.
your shop is the dream of every single kid in this world!
ALL the cool tools. There is nothing like making shop items, be they stools, shelves,drawers or even cord hangers. You get the satisfaction that YOU made it and learn along the way. Well done Jimmy!
Gotta' love the paper "stool-sample." 😅
Consider: Your wood floors will get abused by the edges of the legs. Adding pads to the bottom would prevent it. Bo.
I’ve been around long enough to remember when you were so reluctant to learn to use digital fabrication techniques and now you can make those robots dance! Nice work Jim 🤘🏻
☺️
That leatherworking studio is dreamy!
Great video jimmy . I’m taking notes
Jody! Thank you!
those stools are the same design we had in metal shop in the late 80's. i remember having to lap weld sheet metal with oxy/acet before getting to learn the stick welder
You can make a smokeless fire pit using this technique. I think a diresta style one could be really cool. The idea there is that fresh air through a double wall gets to the top of the flame and ignites the smoke. 🔥 💨🌋
Sturdy design but those legs need soft tips or some design element that spreads and cushions the load, especially on a fine timber floor
That’s my only thought, too. Might even be able to just weld a nut in the bottom corner and put some threaded slides.
yeah.. Also, I would rather have the legs lap under the top.. Or at the very least, round over those sharp points at the top of the legs.. I'd hat3 to slide off of the seat and that sharp corner hook your pants or worse. It's a minor change.. but I bet it will get someone eventually. :)
Great build man! And great video. Loved all the explanations.
I do not think that I ever missed a thumbs up on any video I've seen of yours. You are the man Jimmy boy..
Always a pleasure watching your work. I hope you put something on the bottom of the legs so they don’t damage those beautiful wood floors.
Hi Jimmy. Nice build on the stools for the leather shop. That plasma table must be like magic. Imagine how difficult it would be to make all the pieces needed for the stools without it. My dad was a sheet metal mechanic his whole life. He could make things like your stools with hand tools. I never could come even close. Pretty amazing how far metal fabrication has come.
Love the retro look of those stools Jimmy!
Love the rivets and the design. Makes me think of the old shipyards.
Love watching you work with Steel
Love the early access with Patreon! Really love following you through the whole process from design concept to execution.
❤🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kudos for patreon
I agree, watching this develop on Patreon was insightful.
Great look with those rivets. Thanks for the progress breakdown.
That brake is a monster! I really need to build a bead roller!
Love your creativeness and craftsmanship!
Jimmy, an idea for welding the parts together - spot welds. They do it with stuff from battery cells to car parts. Could work for new iterations
Love watching you build stuff. Thanks for sharing.
They look great. Fun project
Thanks for the info!
Beautiful finished product. Really stunning in its simplicity.
Absolutely love this
Best way to do rivets is an air hammer. With the correct cupped end in the hammer you hold a flat hand anvil on the rear and go to town. Heat all the rivets up in the furnance and go to town with them all at once.
Color and the sheen after the sandblasting looks so cool. I am glad you kept it like that
Super nice space for your leather work! Thanks Jimmy! 😊
Love the stools! What a beautiful setting and a dedicated spot for your leatherwork..
Nice job Jimmy, what a brake🎉
Love this - brilliant!
Awesome work! Such an amazing way to start the week!
Excellent work Jimmy
So cool!
Thanks Jimmy. Great video. True to your style . Love love
These are amazing, I always enjoy watching you do stuff like this... videos where you learn a new skill and tool and simplify a build process. Thank you Diresta
This is great, thanks for all of the detailed explanation on the cad.
Looks great 🎉
Great work!
Ive seen a lot of metal breaks but yours is by far the coolest.
What an awesome shop! You can make anything you want.
tHanks for the extra details. Fun video
Nice work!
Full safety suit, love it😂
Killer build and video, Jimmy!
Awesome job Jimmy!!
Beautiful work. Was fun to see these develop on Patreon.
So very cool always so amazing watching you work Sir Thanks for sharing
Super exciting to see the leather studio coming together. Beautiful chairs!
The ole EEE. Experience, Expertise, Equipment
Nice job Jimmy 👍
So much great philosophy in this
Those stools look great. Job well done.
Come winter, you might want to think about adding either a plywood or leather pad to the tops of them stools .... for comfort.
Your comments about the sand blaster being a big PITA struck a chord with me but we all march on thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
So nice!
You have so many wonderful toys! I hit 70, and am down sizing to an extent. Still love to play though, and love learning new ideas and techniques. Love your posts.
72 and still improvin!
I followed the run up of the design through Patreon… nice to see the finished design in the leather studio (which is looking sharp as well!)… cheers Jimmy!
Definitely very cool seeing all the iteration
Really nice job my friend.
The ultimate craftsman!!!
Hello mister Jimmy beautifully made good job well done
I'm constantly amazed and inspired at how you can use some pretty heavy-duty machinery to create art - functional art, but, yeah. Art. Those stools are classic! Thank you!
Jimmy! A great way to start a beautiful Sunday -another inspiring project. I'll be getting off my buttox soon to do some Making myself. Thank you for sharing & informing! Very nice Build!!!
The leather studio space is looking awesome.
Great film. Love how the material defines the process. Nice job on the bead roller. The stools are fabulous! Mahalo for sharing! : )
Love it! All media is subject to you!
I was surprised you put the legs on the outside at the top, part of me thought you’d weld up the corners of the seat and linish the bead, then fix the legs inside, reducing the chance of catching yourself on the edges… but I can’t argue with the outcome, always the artist. Thank you for sharing.
I wanted the details to show ❤
Fabulous steam punk look! Nice how you explain the software, wiring & use of the tools especially the wheel bender that adds so much to the look. UV from flashes have caused many uk dentists to need cataract surgery after viewing uv dental resin curing, (now they use blue light) so I always wear uv protection while plasma cutting. Thanks for sharing!
Incredible workmanship, I remember watching you way back in the basement workshop getting things done. Now you have a massive workshop very cool 👌🏻
Those really look sharp, Jimmy. Hope you build more.
От проекта до готового изделия...... Великолепная работа!
Terrific work Jimmy & that Chicago bending machine is totally awesome! 👍👍🔨🔨
Leather studio, I can't wait!
Fantastic stools Jimmy.. you never fail to give me inspiration 🙌 cheers Rob
Really great thanks as always Jimmy. Those are nice! Thanks for walking us through the illustrator / cutter progress I found that interesting and other makers I watch dont do that.
I learned to rivet at the national warplane museum in Geneseo, NY where WW2 era aircraft restoration specialists started me off bucking, learning how its not just holding a buck, but working with the hammer and driver to shape the rivet. We left the steel rivets in a propane flame to keep them red hot, using thongs to handle the glowing metal. I don't remember heating aluminum rivets at all.
Yes! More sheet metal!
good call on the raw/petina finish. I think they'll age beautifully
I love Jimmy’s toy shops, what great spaces, and just love the way you get in there and make. I’m still using pen and paper and elbow , nevertheless you are such a great inspiration for so many people.
Dude! The rivets really make it pop, they're beautiful. That break is a monster, great job using the bead roller, especially by hand like that, especially with thicker steel, great job.
Thank you so much for sharing this! You had me hook, line and sinker watching the evolution process on Patreon. Someday I have to shake your hand and say thanks for everything.
Thank you David ❤
It seems like the legs of the stools would gouge the floor. Some flats across the bottom would give some additional strength and prevent the legs digging into the floor.
I really liked the rivet technique and the sand blasted look is great man!!! Very Nice Jimmy! 🔥
I'm so envious of your future leather studio! Very excited to see the work of art that will be the studio. Obviously I am a big leather guy. So extra excited about future leather videos. But would love to see videos about the studio build. And awesome work as always!
Great addition to the leather studio. I’m sure you are looking forward to getting in there and going to school.
Love this format!! You’ve changed 😂 and It is always for the better!!!
Spot welding these stools would make the fabrication speed up if you'd produce them of course. Nice video!
Jimmy, you can always sink the rivets in backwards, use a cup on the back to keep it located, then use a concave punch on the outside to form the head. This gives a ton more room to swing and helps the rivet sink tighter!
It’s been a while Awesome content Great project Love all the hard work
Id like to see you restor your bender make it look brand new
Super cool
Love watching old school laser cutting and folding
When i dont have the time or need to make something useful myself, i get my dopamine makers hit by watching your videos instead. The stools are cool and very useful for any setting (home or workshop. My dream tool list is getting ever longer, darn.
That was really impressive to watch dude. The combination of experience and gung-ho attitude is really inspiring 🤙
Amazing work, Jimmy! Fantastic looking stools! 😃 But it made me remember something. My parents finished the construction of our farm house around 35 years ago. At the time they ordered some pine stools, that they painted blue. And they're still there! In one piece and I think they never painted them again! So... Imagine those metal ones! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
