Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

12 Steel Boxes for an Exclusive Client

Even the shipping boxes have become a talking point. Beneath Jimmy DiResta's latest project, viewers are discussing the wooden packaging alongside the steel boxes themselves, with some imagining keeping both long after the contents are gone.

"12 Steel Boxes for an Exclusive Client" was his only upload of the week and has reached roughly 192,000 views. The client is Carhartt: this is a commercial fabrication project, making boxes for the company's marketing of a new product line. It gives DiResta a batch-production assignment rather than a single bespoke object, a format several commenters specifically say they enjoy seeing him tackle.

The steel boxes are also his busiest upload right now, followed by "Shearling Stool For a Client," a custom-size commission that he explicitly credits as someone else's design. The InfiMaker desktop CNC demonstration, which occupied this space in September, continues to draw views at a gentler pace.

Across the channel, daily viewing is running at about half its usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby DIY channels ForgeCore and HAUS PLANS had much larger weeks for views; DiResta's was the smallest weekly gain in this selection. Here, the conversation is firmly at workbench scale: a familiar grinder, a copper welding trick and the pleasing prospect of a box arriving inside another box.

Very cool. Even the shipping boxes would be useful.

The years go by, the jobs come and go, and that old FlexVolt grinder—saved from the white paint—keeps on doing its job!

The steel boxes are incredible! The wooden boxes are great too! Whoever gets them will prize the boxes over the contents!

Another great video - particularly liking your style of voice over the action. 👍

Small mistake—there was no signature anywhere saying "made by DIRESTA" :)

Another great one for the library. Great tip about the copper I do the same thing with a thick aluminum plate. Hope maker camp has been another success. Thank you.
