Have you ever gone onto YouTube looking for something specific, only to find yourself hours later watching a completely unrelated series of videos on the most random topics. If you’ve experienced this, I’d like to assure you that you are not alone. I call it the YouTube Wormhole and as you’ll see, I have dedicated a series of posts on SoundsLikeIndie to share some of the channels I discovered.
All joking aside, YouTube is an amazing place. Over several years of viewing content, I found so many interesting channels and they seem to be endless. There is always something new for everyone, no matter the topic.
With that said, today’s feature YouTube creator is Jimmy Diresta.
Diresta is a creator I discovered a few years back. His channel focuses on designing and hand building everything from furniture and signs to knives and other tools. His videos highlight various building techniques and methods using all kinds of materials, such as metal, wood and resin.
What I love about his videos is that they are very simple, yet they draw your attention so well. Some of his content is narrated but the majority of his builds are shown as simple, sped up footage of him creating each piece. Aside from simply entertainment, the videos are very informative. Each project records the full process, from beginning to end. He documents every step of the build and even provides little tips or tricks along the way.
Its definitely worth a watch! Check out this weeks YouTube creator Jimmy Diresta for a minute or two or two hours.
