DiResta: Heart Key

DiResta: Heart Key

In this episode of DiResta, Jimmy gets all sentimental and makes a heart key for a particularly big-hearted friend.

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.

For more details on the build, check out the MAKE post: http://blog.makezine.com/2012/10/03/diresta-heart-ring/

And look for new episodes of DiResta every other Wednesday at 2pm Pacific/5pm Eastern.
