DiResta: Pirate Chest
Real all about it on MAKE: makezine.com/vi...
In this episode, Jimmy fulfills a childhood dream of having his own pirate chest to store his booty--OK, make that pocket change, but it's still a very cool box.
In each episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzread.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seems to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I really enjoy your videos....I seriously have watched everyone of them. I don't understand the need to make any negative comments. It has dawned on me that so many people that comment negatively are "know it all's". For those of you who do not have anything good to say weren't you ever taught...."If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all". Jimmy Diresta doesn't need your negative or positive comments to be successful. Mr. Diresta's work speaks for itself. The dude has skills, whether its the way you would do it or not. GREAT WORK!!!!!!

jimmydiresta amazing work.. I love your videos as well. I may be dumb, but the way you attacked this chest looked really smart, actually welding in the planks looked like a smart choice, and not to obvious for me.
That is by far the coolest pirate chest I have seen. Great work.
Diresta has the highest ratio of 'likes" to views of anybody I've seen on youtube. I get a smile very time I see a new Diresta video is available. Thanks for making and sharing and taking the extra time to make your videos so enjoyable to watch.

I hear you, it's like getting a badass Christmas present every time you see a 1 next to his name. He plays it smart with the uploads. Many popular channels saturate their feed with a video every day or two. I've had plenty of channels that I thought were awesome at first, but the content is always the same and I just get sick of it after 30 days and 50 videos.. Not Mr. Diresta, it's going on two years and I still get a lap rocket every time I see a new post. I want to be as cool as Diresta someday. Diresta, we salute you.

I still get blinded,by the welding even though it's through a screen

No you don't. It's just bright.
I just watched an interview where Jimmy said he had zero idea of what he was going to build minutes before making this...... That is amazing... Having that design on the fly ability is something that doesn't work well for most, Jimmy has mastered it.
Wow I have never seem welding done up close before. Majorly cool. This is the most badass chest ever.
There he is! Another awesome inspiring project!
Diresta for President.
i think they way you put your name all over is not only cool but separates you from all the ppl that fill videos with endless rambling. your videos are an awesome escape for me. as well as simple, yet amazing, inspiration. this video is no exception. well done.
I gotta say, Mr. DiResta, whenever I watch your videos all the crap that I've been feeling that day, no matter how bad the day was, I feel better. I feel alive and liberated. I don't know why, but there is something about watching a craftsman perform his art really really well (in this case, yourself), that makes one think "he can be good, I can be good". And then I don't feel so bad. So thanks for the vids, good sir.

When I was a kid I had a Pirate Chest aquarium and I loved it, complete with Creature From the Black Lagoon bubbling figure. This reminded me of it. Love the industrial look mixed with the old wood. Great as always Jimmy.
Bad Ass!!! Camera person did a great job also!
We had a short guy on the job that liked to use a nibbler like you've got there, we called him "the Keebler with the neebler". Guess you had to be there

So sick. But I would've stained the wood and marred and scuffed I up first. To give it a richer, more antiqued and aged look.
Honestly bud a lot of stuff you make is true heirloom quality, thanks for the ideas and quick tips so I can eventually make my kid something memorable. Great job man keep it up
The planks at the top of the chest in the arch looked really cool, great build!

great job. pls next time note that we need welding mask to watch his videos :)
I just picked up a new tip from Jimmy Diresta, using a piece of scrap 3/4 plywood as a straight edge for my grinder. Brilliant.
Goodness, I think I've watched this video 100 times. Just love the creativity and the old-school Jimmy approach. Fantastic!
I think this video would have been better if it was a bit longer, at the end it should be you digging a hole and dropping the chest, then proceed to bury it and ending the ordeal by marking the ground with a huge X.

real 17th century's welded pirate chest with metric screws.
I remember in auto tech class I basically lived in that shop, using the plasma cutter to cut pretty much any design I could think of. It got to the point the teacher went and bought more scraps for me lol i don't have any tools like that of my own but man...if I had a place like that I would never leave!
Finally I can steal all that change You have Collecting over the years! the big glass jug had no handle and would make me nervous walking down the steps with it. The handles will make this a lot easier for me! Seriously… Amazing, fantastic, creative, simply brilliant!
Watching this I've now learned the wielding is just a hot glue gun for metal.

I don't how many times I have watched this video, but it never gets old and I am always inspired to try one myself. I am a wood worker and not a metal guy but one of these days I'll make one. Thanks Jimmy for all the video's, I can always find some kind of useful trick or tip that you use and I can take back to my own shop.
what about those jagged edges from the metal wholes you cut for the wood? I was expecting you to sand them down with the amount of skill you have.

Devin Deatherage I assume you mean not-modern pirate, which means welding is out altogether. They'd have forged metal pieces and joined them with hot rivots. This entire thing is an interpretation of a pirate's chest anyway. I like it. More art than science, but still requires skill. Very cool.

Thiago Roman Don't think there's a lot of weight reduction considering he had to add the wood. It's supposed to replicate a chest. Obviously they weren't made like this, they didn't have welding equipment and plasma cutters. They would just secure the wood with strips of forged metal.
The still frame looked so cool, then when you started I thought it looked really stupid. I kept watching and you blew me away. That was amazing.
The amazing DiResta strikes again. Too cool man.

Wow...what a great little chest. Always impressed with your design and execution. Major Kudo's.....please keep em coming.
I wasn't sure if I had seen you in "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Black Sails", or something like that, but after this video I'm convinced you are definitely a pirate! I mean, all the skulls things that you make, and now this Pirate Chest to hide your treasures... all I have to say is: ARRRRR!!! LOL
ain't nobody never gonna get old captain DiResta or his quarters and penny's! nobody!
I'll take one. Glad to see you finally found a camera-helper!
I love the way your work is very hands on a rustic... well not rustic but cool looking at the end! Well done, love the things you make!
A good use of found materials as always. Great treasure chest.
Every time I watch one of your videos I am amazed. Thank you for sharing your craft.
Wow! Putting the change in at the end was Double Wow! Great project and great use! Thanks for the vids bro!
Your videos give me confidence to try things I normally wouldn't. You made this look so easy. The coin dump at the end literally made me LOL. :) Another great build, Jimmy DiResta.
One of the coolest projects I've seen.
Diresta will stay in history far beyond just in KZread...
Pirate chest made from a "shipping" crate? Bahaha! Jimmy, you're the best!
Awesome, all I need is a plasma cutter and a welder and I will make one of these, great job as always, Jimmy!
One of your best. Really liked the padlock too.
That is beautiful, nice enough to keep my journals in.
Thanks again was about to go into withdrawal. You always inspire. I believe that you are more talented than you'll ever know
Another very cool project ! thanks for sharing .. I love how you recycle things and make new stuff using it like you did with the pallet wood.
I love you videos mate. Watching a craftsman at work is both informative and aspirational. I build at 1/72 scale but I've picked up a lot of tips on building from your videos. Thanks for sharing :-)
Diresta splits the plug leads, genius! Sick channel.
I was thinking this isnt DiRresta style, theres no wood, then the plasma came, and I was like ok just stop.......Amazing, by far one of my favorites!

I enjoy watching all your videos, they are totally amazing!!! You are an amazing craftsman!!!
Sometime I see you do stuff with tools that could be done better and more easily with different tools, but I don't understand the circumstances in your tool choice so I don't judge. These videos are always fun to watch.
C'mon man, I've gotta get to bed and I just can't stop watching this stuff!
Very cool. As always. Keep on making these great videos please. They are a lot of fun to watch.
i made parade floats for a living for many years and i had to make alot of items like this in my days i had 4 pirate ships in the fleet and i have to say you did a good job for the speed and timing adding some cut off bolts could help fire/burn some of the wood things to make it look old
Epic as usual, great use for pallet wood too. Don't see how anyone can thumbs down, but there are all kinds out there. Sure beats a 5 gallon water container for all your loose change.
Vrlo lepo i domisljato. Efekat postignut sto posto.
I'd love to see you walk into the bank lugging that with your change in it. Just to see the look on the teller's faces. Well done as always Jimmy!
Kudos to you Jimmy, everytime I watch one of your videos it amazes me both on the content and how funny they are for a guy that doesn't talk on his videos. Keep them coming and I'll continue to like and share.
