In my latest metalworking project, watch along as I use 5 inch brass tubing that I bought over 10 years ago, to build brass foot lamps for a client. For this brass metalworking project, I used battery operated wireless lights that last for about 100 hours, which I thought would be an interesting application to create a mood lighting in and around the house! Thank you for watching - enjoy!

The way you work is too genius and creative!
Very nice again. But it's been years since I looked forward to watching your desk lamp making, maybe kind of anglepoise or completely wooden, anyway..
You should send one of those lights to SEworldr Chris Ramsey. He would really love em, there right up his wheel house!!! Great job Jimmy!!!
They remind me of the ancient robots from Fifth Element. Brass n colors. Cool.
I'm a simple man, I put a "I'm a simple man" set up in the comment section and the punchline is fairly unique. I like Jimmy D and his work!
what was the brass tube's initial purpose?
First I was like, 'why is he gluing the oval to that wood'? Then I was all like, 'in Diresta we trust'.
Next I was like, 'why is he drilling through that little block of plywood?' Then I was all like, 'I'll get my coat then'.
Beautiful. I'm gonna have to go the square tube aluminum or rusty steel 4"x4" route. Don't have any 6" brass pipe banging around the garage. Always wanted to do a version of theatre stage lighting like this to have color mixing capability.
I never worked with my hand but I bet I could've done a much better job! ...you know why?! I CAN WRITE COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET!
Tasty making in every byte! Thanks Jimmy.
hello Jimmy it's a long time do you know what happy new year 2021 from France and surely with health too (your wife too) give a great kiss to Spike
so many tips in this one! they way you transferred that angle was geniuses thanks for sharing Jimmy! and thanks Bespoke for sponsoring this video
Jimmy I ordered your welders jeans back in September. I'm now being told they aren't going to get to me for another 2 months. Can you advise? Thanks.
Thank you for your understanding
@jimmydiresta thanks Jimmy! Love your stuff
We should be shipping end of Jan. Covid slowed our factory in NYC. Thank you and sorry 🙏🏼
Full of tips! Great build and beautiful product!
I been binge watching your videos, you're awesome Jimmy 💕

Good Joob thank you for your videos.

Is the clear just Petg?
only problem is changing the batteries which would drive one nuts: you need 1. rechargeable batts and 2. an external charging source such as Olight flashlights, oral b toothbrushes and i guess Apple devices, use. That is the only way you could fully use it's awesomeness.
Got several new tips and ideas from this one, and the lamps look really cool! Simple design, but looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
What happened to the knife giveaway? I didn't see if he drew winners yet
hey man, can i have the plans for this?
Hahaha
I really like that idea though. I just added a bunch of artwork around my house. would be a great way to create accent lights for wall art/sculpture. need to find a light source that's got a huge battery or easy to charge.... also a 5" brass pipe...
@jimmydiresta 🤣🤣🤣 no dude. it's papacastle. just messing with you.
Are you serious? the pipe is 5” the cut is about 40 degrees. 12” -14” highly.
Are foot lamps those things on a stage?
Always a good time: your videos! I wonder what your gonna do with them?
What fun! Whatcha gonna do with them? ☺️
Where is Spike?
Where's the second part of the truck restoration?
Very nice
The bevel trick on the plexi is why you are the 🐐 Love it
pls stop promoting these bs boxes PLS ?
Intriguing. What is your client using them for? Little confused on application of these. To light up feet?

Fantastic! No more words to say! Greetings from Germany :-)
👍👍😎🍺🍩🔧🔨🗜️
So many tips and tricks in this seemingly simple project!
Neat👍🏻
Simple and Functional , Nice job .. Stay well Taylor , Willie , two and four legged and you my brother
Thanos lights???
The amount of shop tricks in this video..... Good god. The 2x4 bevel trick was my favorite.
Just hurry up and send me one of those disc sanders...
Great build, but your fingerprints were very evident. Think I would have clear spray lacquered the tubes.
Ma il rolex è vero? 😁😁
Polish that edge of acrylic, will look even cooler! ;) Nice trick drilling those holes. Saved in brain cell.
Alien goat sounds in the background starting at 6:21
Soooooo nice
👍👍
That sanding block jig... Wow. Thats why they call him Godfather. Thank u Jimmy for teaching.
oh that compound angle grind on plexiglass just brilliant
awesome build. thanks
I WANT ONE
Reminds me of a steam ship for some reason. Great job!
How did you do the equal miter cut was it pre measured or a pattern technique
I liked the sanding technique
Absolutely wonderful youtube channel. Love JD’s work. Thank you thank you thank you. Please keep this up. Wonderful catalog of timeless videos to look back on to. Great for us all.
thank you!!
That’s our Jimmy putting on a clinic! That’s a lot of mechanical engineering goodness in one video. 😁👍
Very cool looking. I like the multi function lights too.
I miss your old show Dirty money
18 years ago! wow
Great video. Nice tips: bevel lens and drill guide. Mahalo for sharing! : ) 🐒
Bespoke is cool, I was subscribed for more than two years, got lotsa cool and useful stuff. Budget took a hit so had to nix them or I would still be a subscriber!
Well darn I left tv and came to youtube to skip the advertising now its infected youtube lol
@jimmydiresta it was a joke there but love watching your creative mind hope you make millions
sorry the dogs got to eat
Man that bevelling technique was so simple. I love it
Tops things I learned this video, that sanding jig for the lens/diffuser was great and I love the wood shock absorber on the drill to prevent marring the brass!
The shape of the light reminds me of those stage lights that looks like a clamshell, but yours have a really cool art deco twist added.
Love the jig at 7:14. I think we need some more tool tips videos!
So does every asshole just have a subscription company where they pack cheap wholesale garbage for a monthly feel which is probably 2 or 3 times the price they got it for?
Anyone else worried that Jimmy is secretly Thanos and is 2 infinity stones short of snapping in to nothingness?
Sweet exhaust tips for the newly restored truck
It needs aesthetic improvement. The design is not salable.
Hey Jimmy, you know that little sooner spacer you used to drill a hole in the bottom of the lamps ? How long does it take you to think of things like that because that’s awesome ! simple (once you know) but very effective
Nice trick for bevelling the edges of the acryllic...always wondered whenever I saw that feature. Thumbs up, and as always, thanks for posting.
That giant brass tube is amazing. I’m searching online but not finding anything close to that big. Where did it come from? Great video. Always fun and educational. Thanks!
$5000. Brass pipe.... Cant even find a supplier!
It was 800. But I made about 8k on the job.
Hey Jimmy, you did it again! Made something really unique using very few materials and genius but simple techniques. Those lights looks a lot better than the sum of the parts, the depth in the reflection inside the pipe you can half see really lifts it. The thing is, although a piece of pipe, some acrylic, some plywood and a bunch of off the shelf LED’s doesn’t sound like much, that’s not it, it’s getting the idea to put those parts together like that that’s genius. I’m amazed at your inventiveness and more amazed you can go on! Thanks!
Sweet!
Huge exhaust tips.
Simply delightful. I bet Jimmy can make some awesome exhaust tips for a car. Peace yall.
👍🏼✌🏼
Man bespoke post? They have the worse boxes and the knives in them are fake Damascus knives from Pakistan. Just read the reviews. Take their money, but they are trash.
Jimmy, you never fail to inspire me. Thank you for the journey. Love and Respect from North London UK.

You need a subheading for your channel: It should read "DIRESTA: The Man with the Plan...."

Thanks jimmy, Now i need to bring strippers home again, Dang it.
nailed it!
So cool
Badass
who has a giant brass post? Jimmy does. I just listened to the podcast, I don’t believe you are a hoarder 😘
I love lighting and sculpture! Nice work bro!
Very steampunk looking. Nice!
I love how simple these are. This is something anyone at home can easily do.
With a giant chop saw, a giant vertical fixed disc sander, beautiful band saw, and space to have them all. Work and table space envy for years now, thanks Jimmy!
Classic Diresta
Looks like zoom headers
I really love those lights
Why use pliers when you have fingers!!??? Unsubscribe 😂 ✌🏻✌🏻 peace bro
Very nice! Nothing to coat the brass to keep it from tarnishing or did I miss that part?
Most used tool in Jimmy's workshop: the monster disk sander.
This is so cool. Always planting seeds in my mind. Thanks for sharing my friend.
6:23 that was a long fart... I mean the video is also sped up
some slick new tricks! sweet lights too.
@jimmydiresta bespoke did half the job for you that canvas roll is great..
@jimmydiresta those files are not going to make wood handles and a canvas roll by their selves. Thanks fantastic outcome. Love and respect..
Respeck 👊🏼
