DiResta 66 My Trailer was Stolen!!

"Jimmy's daughter" was the best rofl.

The conversation with Laura was fantastic. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!

I got chills watching you & Laura talk. It all hit so close to home with me as well. I always said I wanted to be an artist growing up & all I got I return were negative responses. All I can say is "Look at me now". I'm happy & I love every piece of art I make. You two make my heart so happy. I love this maker community so much. I wish the whole world could be as kind. Xoxo

Jimmy, after watching your for years I really want to thank you (randomly now, in the comments of this video). You were probably the first on YouTube to inspire me (I used to make things but I never filmed them. Nowadays - kind of funny - shooting videos for other people is one of my jobs). Thanks to you I discovered David Waelder and I met him here in Italy where I Iive, thanks to him I met Giaco (what a guy!) and probably thanks to all of you I started following Laura (and today listening to your car chat I'm realising even more what a nice person she is) and many other makers in the meanwhile. I really believe in the future of your awesome community and I'm looking forward to be part of it some day soon. Take care! Gabriele

you and Laura are two of my favorite people on youtube and makers in general and seeing you both together and talking about making is so inspiring, special, and validating in terms of my own making and creative expression. much love to both of you

stealing equipment late at night is a common problem - one suggestion is to talk with people that may have had video cameras on the routes away from your shop - maybe ask the police for some assistance if they haven't already done this - its worked a couple of times in catching thieves in my area

Great hanging with you again last week dude! Hope your trailer gets found soon, that SUCKS.

I really liked the conversation with Laura. It’s great and inspiring to know people’s story!!

Awesome as always. It’s so impressive that you have more creativity stashed away in boxes than I may ever have. It’s a testament to your lifelong pursuit of originality. Someday I hope to find just one creative outlet.

Dude! And Laura and April, I absolutely love this vlog above all others. THIS will be the one you’ll always remember. Your 23 min vlog has taken me about 3 hours to watch! Listening to you two chillin in the cab of what I hope is a big 4 x 4 ( I’m Texan-it’s expected-ask April) lol. But honestly I’ve had to rewind and replay because as you two talk, I go Yeah, me too, and man I can use that in this and that...go back and forth. And then I start listening again and y’all are way ahead and I was afraid I missed some trick or on-site or inspiration. Lol it’s great.

I think what you silently expressed in this video, is never stop learning, whether from doing a job in the shop, or just having the opportunity to see someone else doing something, as in this case you mentioned Laura and how she setup to take video's. Also that you took the time to go to Lincoln welding to learn more about Tig welding. That really say's a lot about you, that you set a quality of perfection and when your honest with yourself, alone in the shop, and say: I need to do it BETTER. Thank's for sharing Jimmy, and being a big inspiration to a lot of people. Keep on making. As someone who can remember using movable type in 7th grade shop / printing class circa 1966, your idea / interpretation was great.

I really hope you get your trailer back soon. But it's great you got to have such a long visit with Laura! You both are such inspirations. I'm so glad I got to see you both in Cleveland!

I learned to weld in a facility similar to this one back in 1988. They covered all types of welding from oxy/acet, AC stick, DC stick, MIG and TIG. The classes went for six weeks. A fantastic opportunity.

Delightful, motivating & connecting, creating something like a blessed neural net of techniques, support & enthusiasm so that an individual, like me, finds the positive inspiration to transcend the dull, cold days & the relentless failings of tools that have to be fixed and the hard critical words of others, to do & make stuff that somehow lets part of my soul become manifest in our world. Thank you for all you do!

I hope you plan on installing cameras. If they're watching your shop, they're not done five-finger shopping.

The first thing Laura made was a “prison tattoo machine”? Somehow, that blows my mind.

That moment on the road where your driving but talking with both your hands is amazing. Italian Level: Over 9000

Hello Jimmy. Just want to say you're amazing. I subscribed to your channel after the first video i saw you making a wooden spoon with the bandsaw & carved by hand. Passed by where your old shop was 2 days ago just to take a picture of the Diresta stencil you welded to a pole in front. Also sorry to hear about your trailer being stolen i will keep an eye out for it. Keep up the awesome work & videos. Giovanny from Brooklyn.

I LOVED the conversation with Laura in the truck. So good and funny. We don't get to see Jimmy be so casual. Nice to see.

I liked this video a lot. It definitely shows how all of you have grown and evolved with each others support. Keep up the great work.
