Jimmy DiResta Empties His Pockets

You don't want to be behind this guy while going through airport security.

Jimmy DiResta's Brownstone Birdhouse

Unsullied by a fire escape ... no idea what a ShopBot is but it made the "brick" facade.

Jimmy DiResta Makes Bookends

I love watching Jimmy DiResta make stuff. Here he is free-handing the bandsaw again.  Take note of the shape of the pinkie finger on his left hand.  It met the bandsaw up close one time.  

See the full post at Make: http://makezine.com/video/diresta-bookends/ Bookends are often too light to hold up a stack of heavy tomes. In this episode, Jimmy DiResta makes a simple yet elegantly crafted set of steel bookends, TIG welded in a whimsical shape yet heavy enough to securely store your library.

I first learned about Jimmy DiResta from his TV show "Dirty Money," which is still the best trash-to-cash show I've ever seen.  It ran only one season which proves that the TV gods are not just.
