Jimmy showing he never lost any skills just learned so many new ones! Great video!

It's really inspiring how you just go about building something from scratch and sort of freehand. I find myself getting too caught up in trying to be ultra-precise or following plans I've created. It's nice to be reminded it's totally acceptable (and sometimes the result is better) to just get out there and MAKE the damn thing

That’s the most badass whirligig I’ve ever seen! The carving, the movement, and the animated letters, wow really impressive.

Of all your projects, this one is the best. The amount of thought that went into the nuanced details: the bouncing letters, chopping the tree, standing on a pallet. And your carving skills at the band saw, wow! You are a modern-day Renaissance man. It is a pleasure to watch you work.

It's a Jackman lumberjack! Very cool and I learned a lot of little tips!

my thought as well :)

I've never seen anyone use a band-saw like you do. Thanks for the inspiration Jimmy.

Instant classic! So many clever bits, problem solving and craftsmanship in one video.

From scraps of wood comes such wonder. This is my 4th viewing since find it last night. Of all the amazing builds on YT for some reason this amazes the most

Jimmy, I'm pretty sure I have found every video you have ever made. I've enjoyed every single one of them but this one for some reason really struck a chord with me. In my opinion It displayed your talent, your humor and your production abilities like no other. I really loved it, thank you so much. You have inspired me in so many ways. I'm currently building the shop I've always wanted and the motivation, in large part, is due to the inspiration that I gleaned from you. Thank you Jimmy

Eric Reeve love and respect ✊🏻 thank you

Mad bandsaw skills. Among other things. And you still have all of your digits! Great project and a thoroughly entertaining video. 👍

Now that's the diresta I signed up for, pure magic. Remember the car wreck displays and all those signs falling out of scrap

Poetry in motion. Simply a joy to watch.

those small pallets always come in handy... i always save mine when i receive a shipment of small items.... Great video... Thank you for all the inspiring videos :D

I literally lol'ed when you found that mini pallet! Awesome work as always!

I have watched as many of your videos as I can find and I still learn cool tricks and get great new ideas watching how you work. Your ability to solve a problem is phenomenal. I love the simple little things the most, like how you ballanced the whole thing on a pencil to find the c.o.g. Anyone can come up with a complicated solution. Simple is genius. As always Sir, thanks for sharing.

A great project combining art and engineering. Glad to see you had the little pallet and axe in inventory.

i cant understand for the life of me who would give this a thumbs down? Absolutely Amazing work!!!!!

Carolina, pallet, that's a mini LumberJackman isn't it? 😄 Awesome work Jimmy, you can tell the old toy maker skills are still there!

I've been having a crap-tastic day, and your build-video took me out of the doldrums and made me smile from ear-to-ear. Thanks for doing what you do Jimmy!

That was fantastic. One year for Christmas I made Snoopy as the red Baron on top of his doghouse with Woodstock in front. Nice job on this one

Amazing. I’ve never made a whirly gig but I’ve seen many. This is one of the coolest.

The God of bandsaw is back for yet another awesome creation.

So many techniques. So much to use. Great work JD.

That's what I love about whirlygigs....they don't have to make sense and they are always fun to watch. Very nice build...I love your attention to detail! 😎

Awesome video! I really enjoyed watching the process especially the carving.

Impresionante os seus trabalhos, quando parece que ja vimos tudo o que voce faz voce vem e nos surpreende de novo . Show.

I freaking love this. Back to basics like your old videos. Very very cool.

I just got done snapping myself back into reality. Mesmerizing . Wow!

More carving videos! Great job man. That was really cool

Impressed by both the ingenuity, and the sheer variety of methods used in one video. Kudos!

That was Brilliant, moving log pile!

The artiste ,you is a very strong inventor of the world,hello from France my freinds ✌🏽👍🏿👍🏻🥂

So many cool moments. Love finding the axe and pallet I see he's cutting down a dead tree, so that's ok. Watching you carve the shapes on the band saw, you got the perfect balance of action and little details. Thanks!

How could you not appreciate this video. That is the coolest wind vane ever.

This poor little dude will be working for all eternity without ever fully chopping the tree. 😢 🤣 Great video!

CNC is nice to have but easy to overdo - it's great seeing the old school bandsaw work again!

Good ole Diresta precision engineering! Built to tolerances anywhere from 1/2 to 1/8th of an inch. If it works, it's precise enough. Brilliant!

Ok that was awesome! I'd buy that in second if I could.

I love how the Axe and the Pallet were just things that were laying around the shop! Hahahha

Great build. Love kinetic sculptures. So cool to see what went into making cam.

that was very well done. I love the table saw sled jig idea for the windmill hub.

He needs to sharpen that axe. The tree will never fall at this rate. Also, that shaky pallet... It's a safety hazard to stand on a pallet and move around like that. And whirlygig... That's obviously a spinny wind-doodaa. 😊

PowerfulVeganHands that little detail made this.

I just got back from my whirly gig and this is a fine way to unwind. Jimmy - the bandsaw wizard.

Well that was easy. For me. LOL great job

Nobody wants to imagine Paul Jackman in shorts, you can't unsee it 😂😂😂

I just watched this with my granddaughters (10 and 6) and they loved it. Nice work, Jimmy. I think you have two more fans.

This is great. I have never seen anyone sculpt with a bandsaw like you, pure magic that. Thanks for sharing.

Realizes that Jimmy was up to 3am editing this video. Thanks!!!

If the Carolina strike again your buddy will shave all the forest in your town !!

Only you could whip up something like this. All praise Jimmy!!!🙌🙌😁

Very cool! You are on your own level of craftsmanship Jimmy!

WhirlyGig... is that the Technical Term? :)

top of the content )))

Probably one of the most entertaining and relaxing videos that I've watched in a very long time. I not long ago found this site and have watched every one of Jimmy's video, my wife even enjoys the small pair of hands jimmy uses from time to time, Jimmy has taken carpentry to an artistic level. keep up the good work.

Love the way you measured the large pallet first and then the inspection on the full size axe

Wow Jimmy😳👌 what a cool idea and so cool just a top Implementation and my respect and greeting from my channel 👋

Anyone else wince when the bandsaw cut through the crotch?! 😁

Also, while he was a hostage with his hands tied together with black electrical tape. Lol

I have watched every one of your videos and the videos where you let your inner Jimmy out are always my favorite. Tons of people on youtube can build a table or a bookcase but not many people can freestyle carve a cartoon style character whirlygig out of $10 worth of pine. CLASSIC DIRESTA.

The mini pallet selection process just slayed me...liked the manner by which the shoulders caught the chin movement. Reminded of an axeman parked outside my Godmothers house, would watch him chop for hours, days, years on end, good memories. It's that time in my life when I realise no matter how smart I thought I was, I just couldn't do this!! ;-) Cheers Jimmy.

So unrealistic. I've seen Paul Jackman's arms....they are seriously like a third that size. Sheesh. C'mon man.

Voted #1 for creativity and imagination! Great build Jimmy!

One of my favorite diresta videos

Ton of handy little tricks i will be using in my shop, glad you put in the little things like the glue ups.

It just a pleasure just watching you in a band saw. Everything else is extra gravy!

Amazing work, and even more amazing is how this guy still has all of his fingers!!

Amazing. Diresta of the old times comes back.

Probably my favorite project of your’s in some time. A lot of creative thinking went into this one. I’m definitely inspired to try making my own.

That is so cool and a great demonstration of how useful and versatile the cam is!

Well that was about 80 times better than I imagined when I clicked the image. Just delightful.

The axe and pallet bits were great! Two thumbs up!

This project has a little bit of everything...including your artistic side! Excellent work!

Cool project! Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge, tips, and experience while adding a bit of fun to the mix. Cheers!

Wowwwww. A genius with a bunch of tools and millions of ideas.

Bravo! So life like & kinetic as though it is some real little lumberjack felling a tree, the way the head moves is magnificent & the paint gave him character. So beautiful & enchanting I had a smile from ear to ear. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic ! Until the axe scene I thought its going to be a golfer . Band saw skills , movement mechanism and finish are great as always . Thank you Jimmy !

That is one monster of a whirlygig! Very cool design and execution.

Just incredible Mr. Diresta, you never disappoint. I love it all!!!

Jim, you are just one of a kind.

Jimmy showing his super bandsaw skills, It's really easy to have the work roll on you when not supported and there goes the blade. Don't ask how I know.

Love it Jimmy!!! Your old whirleygig videos is one of my favorites! Now I have 2 to show the students!

What an awesome way to use a jig to make a fan / windmill blade. Totally borrowing that! Nice Jimmy.

Jimmy you have mad skills and craftsmanship.

I smiled and laughed right through that. Super lucky finds on the pallet and the axe! Brilliant build Jimmy... What a master!

Best video on Whirligigs I've ever seen. Modesty flair and skill

Been a folower for some years now , you never cease to amaze. Awesome!!

This is amazing. Taking WhirlyGigs to a new level! Well done

Impressive. Good to see you with all 10 digits 🇺🇸

Wood carving on a band saw! Great! excellent video. Thank you.

Very cool. It’s a blast to watch you work with a bandsaw. Definitely something to aspire to!

Very nice job there. That is a work of art in more then one way.

Don’t worry lil Paul! You’ll get through that tree some day!! Awesome build Brother!! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️

Very inspiring Jimmy! Great use of comedy on picking the pallet and axe 🤣

Love seeing your sculpting process. Also, TINY PALLET (and all the things)!! The mechanism also got me hoping for a giant mechanical Jimmy DiResta clock for the new shop. That would look so friggin great.

Inspiring with a little rye humour thrown in. Genius Jimmy. Keep up the great work. Take care, All the best from North London UK.

Love when Jimmy Makes this type of stuff
