Jimmy DiResta Like You’ve Never Known Him Before

Описание: This documentary about the legendary maker godfather, Jimmy DiResta, not only takes you on a multi-shop and property tour but also goes in depth about his life and legacy both personally and in the community. Jimmy is a designer, builder, and maker located in upstate New York who is a content creator and television personality including but not limited to hosting the show Making Fun, as seen on Netflix.

"Since I was a little kid in my dad’s shop I have been experimenting with tools and materials. Learning how to use and implement them. Now 40+ years later that’s all I have been doing: Making things and teaching how to make things involving metal, wood, plastic and more.

I have been making things ever since I was able to hold a hammer and likely longer than that. I grew up working around, and alongside my dad, a Long Island handyman. He put me in an environment to keep experimenting and learning, so my early education involved a wide array of problem solving using all manner of tools, skills and materials… and that is my philosophy in the shop; learn all you can about anything and everything so it becomes a part of your problem solving arsenal."
