Steampunk fans won’t want to miss ‘Vintage Tomorrows’ authors Brian David Johnson and James Carrott’s webcas this Friday, November 30, at 10am PT.

In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (“Dirty Money,” “Hammered,” “Against the Grain,” “Trash for Cash”) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy speaks! And builds a couple of very unique car tables for a retail store.
You can see a parts and supplies list and read notes from Jimmy on the MAKE blog post:
