Here Jimmy DiResta has to create a built-in for what looks like a new, or newly-renovated, apartment. We get to see him go from sketch to finished product, offering his signature tips along the way (like how to get your workpieces not to shift against one another when you drill in a pocket-hole screw). Then he shows us the all-important installation, where the trick is to make this seating and storage unit look like it was an integrated part of the apartment all along.

    DiResta's Cut: How to Build an Eleven-Foot Farmhouse Dining Table

    While Jimmy DiResta always makes his builds look easy, this is one that we might actually be able to do. This month Jimmy builds a massive, eleven-foot-plus farmhouse dining table, using a very limited amount of tools, reminding us that you don't need a fully-outfitted shop in order to build

    DiResta's Cut: Building a Chicken Coop

    A fox-proof enclosure with both indoor and outdoor areas

The chicks he and girlfriend Taylor recently acquired to populate their upstate farm have rapidly grown into chickens, and they're getting too big to live in the house. Solution? Build them a chicken coop. A

    DiResta's Cut, Behind the Scenes: David Waelder's Bee Bungalow B-Roll

    Here's what you didn't get to see in the final cut

    Last week we saw Jimmy DiResta, along with assistant Willy and shopmate David Waelder, build that modular beehive house.

    Lets the bees in, keeps the bears and birds out

    In this episode of DiResta's Cut, Jimmy goes out into the field—literally. While we're used to seeing him operate in either his NYC or upstate shops, here he's got to build a house to hold beehives for a local farmer, pre-fab style, and his yard out in the country is
