DiResta's Cut: Massive Dovetail-Joined Bench
Watch, listen and learn as master maker Jimmy DiResta walks and talks you through a furniture build
Most of you have seen a Jimmy DiResta video by now. As 228,000 subscribers agree, it's fun watching him turn piles of wood, metal, plastic, leather, etc. into objects and furniture, using every tool known to man and techniques both conventional and unconventional.
As Jimmy—or occasionally Super Jimmy, wordlessly moving at 200x speed through the magic of video editing, making hand tools turn into power tools—moves from task to task, experienced builders can puzzle out what he's doing and why. But we thought the Core77 audience might dig a narrated variant, where DiResta walks—and talks—us through what he's doing, and why, and how.
The result: We've commissioned this Jimmy DiResta Director's Cut series, a/k/a "Diresta's Cut." In this first episode, he takes a 9-foot-long, 16-inch-wide slab of 10/4 oak, some steel rods, some brass fasteners, and produces one burly-ass bench using techniques and tools you might not have thought to reach for:

Very Good craftsmanship... The way you use your tools show signs of a good craftsman... I love the fact that you had vision enough to see the use of the board, as many would have passed it by.. I was although horrified in the choice of such a dark stain, and not to have taken a much lighter color stain to it, so as to show those beautiful grains in the wood... As for the metal work, I am totally dumbfounded, I had thought you jumped in to a new project and where making an axial for a large cart or some thing.. I can only imagine you where going for an industrial look, and if that being the case, you have succeeded...
But I want to know DiResta the story...
It would be good to know the Paint´s Brand and were to get it!
He mentions all the products used!
Awesome wood texture after black finising. :)
very impressive
