DiResta Giant Mallet
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In my latest woodworking project I make giant mallet with some wood around the property. For this giant mallet, the hammer head is Locust and the handle is Ash. I needed to make the 11" tapper in the head so I made the reamer out of stainless to match the tapper on the handle, which worked well. If I had to make it again I would make a reamer with 6 or 8 fins for a smoother hole. Thank you for watching and I hope that you enjoyed this build!

Making that giant tapered reamer was really clever. I also love how you had the chickens nearby so the smashed fruit wouldn't be wasted.

Where's my Hoverboard? I think he needed a big mallet to tap that reamer in.
This has to be the most entertaining way to feed chickens. Ever.
Love the nail making part. Never actually seen that done before. Even thought it’s probably common, first time seeing it. Very cool.
While I exceptionally love the homemade Sledge-O-Matic, I think the best part is the variety of skills showcased... Lumbering, turning (both close-enough, and tooled), woodworking (the hole for the handle), blacksmithing, CNC plasma cutting, new tool fabrication, welding, sanding, and finishing. Excellent skill-set show-off Jimmy. (I mean that in the complimentary way). Mixing multiple disciplines/skills is where the DIY gets separated from the makers. It's the goal every budding maker should aspire to.

Nice mallet! My dad built a giant mallet years ago with 8" pipe, super thick stuff, with 1/2" plate welded on the ends. It was a beast too. We used it to drive fence posts on the property for pasturing horses. Made quick work of it, and didn't beat the ends of the posts to pieces like an ordinary sledge would. My uncle (6ft, 200lb+ guy) borrowed it a few years later to drive some of those super (stupid) spikes for a fence we were building in town, and I watched him smash his shin with it. It was one of the most horrid things I've ever witnessed.

Toons always have a big mallets for a laugh, you're the GREATEST builder in New York. I respect for you, Jimmy Diresta.👍🏼👍🏼😁😁
Nearly 5 years ago I got the amazing opportunity to meet Jimmy at his Manhattan shop when I was visiting New York for a film festival. After a tour, he showed me his most recent project, the brass ring mallet for Core77. I specifically remember holding it and thinking "Wow... this is one hell of a mallet..." 5 year's later I'm watching this like "Okay... Now THAT's one hell of a mallet!" Great video Jimmy, you outdo yourself with every project!
We need a giant mallet: *Every other human being:* I'll have a look on Amazon *Jimmy Diresta:* I'm just going to the woods.

After a lifetime of being on construction sites and having ppe drilled into my brain, I still have the opinion that if it's your personal shop, I or no one else has any business telling someone what safety gear or safety measures to use. Some people just need to shut their mouth and watch and enjoy. But, just my opinion.....

@@KJ-kw7gh in all normal circumstances, I'd agree. And even in principle I agree. What makes me think twice is the video and KZread. Regardless of the "don't do this at home kiddies" warnings, people, and especially kids take these videos, especially one from popular makers/channels, as "the right way". I believe, as a nod to social etiquette, makers have a responsibility to at least make good efforts to showcase proper PPE usage. It's just good maker citizenship. That said, I make enough to know Jimmy is WAY beyond my skills, and if he says "don't so this it home", before I even attempt it, I'm gonna spend a LOT of time researching and investigating the proper and safe way to do something.
Well that was a pretty dodgey lathe setup. Jimmy: where's my drill press.
Great video Jimmy, you always do a great job of showing the process, the problems and the problem solving that’s involved in projects. Thanks for keeping us all inspired.
So funny and interesting video! I'm really enjoyed. Thank you Jimmy! Great Like!
3:45 "doont doo thaat,this iiis dangerouuus!"
This reminds me of those "test your strength" mallets at the travelling carnival (or Coney Island) 😁 I liked that bandsaw trick where you hot glued some temporary pieces to "square" an round object as you pass it through the badnsaw. Loved the fruit smashing antics! Great work! This giant mallet needs it's own channel 😉
Anyone Else get sort of Excited When he used the Big Slick or Chisel that he repaired and Restored years ago?? I thought that was Awesome! Much Love Jimmy youre The best!

"What's that watermelon doing there!" "I'll tell you later." That's st least how I remember it from Buckaroo Banzai. There's an extra on the DVD that explains that they were trying to develop a watermelon that could be dropped from a plane to address a hunger problem somewhere.
Sorry, Jimmy, there are no tools to bore out that hole. “I’ll make my own.” BTW, what’s the weight of that mallet?
