Knowing the channel, I was 100% that it will be a bandsaw box, and THE MAN cuts it with a hand saw and hollows it with a chisel...

I thought maybe he’ll just get it started with the handsaw…. Then he did the whole cut and I thought that’s gotta be tiring, then the look on his face after he finished…. Priceless😂

I’ve attempted to make a cut like that I gave up shortly after starting.

The chest is a treasure itself. Lots of cool techniques on display here. And the fact that it was a gift makes it even better. Thanks for sharing!

I am glad Derick will still claim you as a friend! Well done

Beautiful job Jimmy……what a talent you have.

As you were sawing it in half, I was thinking, "Bloody hell, that looks exhausting" and then your face said the same thing 😂

Tell me that being able to create isn't one of life's most wonderful blessings. What a wonderful gift for a friend!

LOVE these builds. And Derick's reaction at the end of seeing it, EPIC!

Man that thing is beautiful with lots of rustic charm

I love that this was an opportunity for you to revisit a previous project on which you learnt how you would do things differently and was able to implement those changes. So many projects are a one-off and you don't always get to put to use the things you learn from it. Great work as always Jimmy, it looks awesome and it sounds like Derek agrees

Every pirate that has ever lived would be proud to own this

Considering where you got the log from it's truly a Deadman's Chest!! Looks good!

Outstanding build, and the reception ending with the envelopes was priceless,thank you for your efforts

Absolutely fantastic Jimmy. This is very special to Derek, his wife and Samantha. Thanks for taking the time to share.

That piece of firewood sat there for many years to be saved and re-purposed by you for a lasting treasure. What a fitting beginning to a new life. Another interesting and well documented project video!

Jimmy is the one friend people will like to have but everyone should be treated with the same respect thank you jimmy😂😂😂😂😂 the laughing emoji is my mark thanks jimmy

I make chests...sometimes for actual treasure, silver and gold coins and bars. I love being there in the moment when they're received...THAT is what I treasure.

Filming the moment when the customer sees their project is what I am hoping to capitalize on.

What a cool project and awesome gift. So much talent, so many tools. I have to say I was surprised you didn't use the bandsaw to make the cut between the bottom and top half of the log at the start.

Treasure within, treasure to watch, incorporating bits of the snooker table black smithing in the wrought iron work to make this epic chest of the ages. Thank you for sharing!

Neat! Derick's reaction was awesome. What a beautiful work of art!

That's got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I wish I had that type of vision to see ordinary objects in such an incredible way. Really fantastic work.

Wow! Beautifully done!

I don't know who you made that for, but it will be a life-long treasure.

Great job Jimmy! Glad to see you doing more blacksmithing! Some interesting techniques, really liked the plug welding of the handles on the side and the top of the welds looking like rivet heads. What I really found interesting was (at least in my opinion) you taking a sculptural approach to making it. Definitely a DiResta treasure chest!👏👏👏

Beautiful my friend! Respect for using the hand saw and chisel.

Your first treasure chest video was one of my favorite early videos of yours and seeing how advanced your skills have become is so encouraging. I have been such a big fan of yours all these years on KZread. Thank you for all that you do for the community. Love the treasure chest.

The very first video of yours I saw was the first chest back on the Make channel. I can't believe it's been nine years!

Jimmy Freakin' Diresta folks! Just Amazing. I'm going to give you the highest complement in my arsenal. Your skills match my grandfather's. He was 83 when he died in 1981 and locals still talk about him almost with awe. The saying was, "if you break something take it to Whit. If he can't fix it, he'll make you a new one"! Thank you for sharing your talent with us and making me think about my grandfather.

That is an awesome chest and definitely worthy of the treasure it will hold! Great work Jimmy

Went back & watched the 1st Pirates Chest build , the 2 are worlds apart , but both are very classy !!! & brick outhouses !!!

A whole dang log! I did not look close enough at the thumbnail! 😂 Beautiful job Jimmy 👏 😊

Awesome Chest wow. What an incredible wedding gift too. Wow. Amazing.

That is one of the coolest chests I've ever seen made!

This kind of video I like the most. A real Jimmy Diresta video making something from scrap a turning it in to a beautiful thing. Just something he finds on a street and creating a art piece from scrap. I found John and Jimmy on Discovery channel and following them after that. Keep doing this 👊🏻

Like all of Jimmy’s videos, watching him craft has given me so many small tips on everyday tasks that have clearly been developed over many years.

You put your heart into the chest , that gift is priceless. Good Job Sir ! Thanks for allowing us to ride along .

What I want to know is, do you still get comments from the, "All you did was just press play" crowd? Great use of tools and techniques from across a few centuries, to fulfill a vision using varied materials. Thumbs up, and thanks for posting content that shows what's possible when you expand your existing comfort zone and skill sets.

Jimmy, I am blown away by this one. Truly. For one thing I don’t think one single measuring device was used, which is so awesome. The fact that it is one solid log, that you cut it with handsaw, the blacksmithing, the carving, the bending. Damn, this one really impressed me, especially for a project that, on the surface, is really not my cup of tea. And, my god, you could have knocked Derek over with a feather when he first saw it. 🥹❤️

I'm always learning from you Jimmy. What a Great Chest -Loved it! ❤👍 Thank you for sharing. Also, I totally ❤ LOVED your Pool Table -I would be so apprehensive to tackle such an imposing Project. TTFN,J

Jimmy nailed that one. Inspired!

Always love watching you work, you’re a real treasure to the making community 😁

Talk about a Treasure Chest! That was an awesome build Jimmy! 👍👍👏👏🗃🗃

I think Derek said everything I would have said, I liked that he added, "You're still my friend." Just brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Stay well, my friend. Love and Respect from North London UK.

Awesome piece Jimmy, you're the best there is!

With gifts like that, can I be your friend. That was awesome.

Just awesome Jimmy! Love it!!!

Wow, super nice anvil! Great blacksmithing.

Awesome you over delivered on this one. Great job jimmy. Congrats to Derek and his daughter and and son in law.

Wonderful, Jimmy. I'm sure Derek's daughter will "treasure" it forever.

Awsworth work Jimmy, Derek obviously loved it 😂👍

Fantastic JOB Jimmy

The way u see it in ur mind and bring it to reality is very inspiring keep it jimmy

Beautiful project as always. I need to get a forge now... Just need to finish my dragknife that I started in the old-school blacksmithing course I took...

The reveal to Derick at the end was the best part!

Beautiful work, well done!

Such a wonderful chest and thoughtful gift, Jimmy. All my best to Taylor and You.

You're a true inspiration in being multi talented in your making abilities. Something I'm totally inspired by and strive for through watching your tutorials. Thank you Sir.

Best gift ever. I wish I had you as a friend in my wedding haha

Oh that welding assembly table is amazing a handy piece of kit

Beautiful. What a cool gift.

The groom texted me pictures of the chest the other day! Such an incredible gift, one they'll always treasure :)

Looks awesome Jimmy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Love the hook on that grinder. Another genius idea like the trash can lid. Lots of silent tips on this video

That's completely insane. Soooo good.

You're a good friend. What a reaction!

That is a beautiful chest!!! Very well done, Sir :)

2M. Yay. And an incredible chest. So much work.

Good job mister Jimmy Diresta beautifully done

Badass is absolutely the right word for this. Phenomenally badass.

Great to see Derek again. I miss his podcast.

Espectacular trabajo maestro, ese cofre en si es el tesoro, gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia) 🔝👍🤓

Jimmy awesome job. Great project idea. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.

Thats an awesome build with some special meaning.

This video reminded me how much I hate weddings…oh yeah, nice box😂

What a cool build. I really like the metal-working and blacksmithing you used. I winced a little when I saw you start to hollow that log out with that gouge--that was a Herculean effort. It was very cool to see the hand-tools in use though--awesome job!

ERES UN GRAN ARTISTA AMIGO...GRACIAS POR TUS VIDEOS

Watching that anvil creep over the side of the table had me on the edge of my seat.

Jimmy never fails to DELIVER!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely incredible! What a treat heirloom to have in the family!

The most proficient master bandsaw user on the internet saws it in half with a handsaw. I did NOT see that coming! What a wonderful and beautiful keepsake.
