Lovely spoon!
@1:20 he seems to have an acceptable stiletto sole.

I always thought you just made them out of bigger spoons…

DiResta videos are the best part of my day when I find them.
I can watch that format of “DIY” video all day long.
No talking, No music, just craftsmanship.

His wooden spoon turned out a lot better than the wooden knife I made.

I wonder if George Washington ate with a wooden spoon.

I liked his use of the laser to test depth and glue to hold the block for the template. 
I cringed when he used a band saw to shave edges on his rough cut. Isn’t that what belt sanders are for? One slip, there goes your thumb. 
Also, crunching down with a table vise on piece of soft pine? Wouldn’t that tend to cause it to dent or split along the grain from compression? 
But it’s a nice spoon.

It’s spoons all the way down.
Reminds me a bit of the “shadow box” way of making objects in ZBrush

He wanted to sync it up with music but YouTube slapped him down and he is a self-professed ignoramus when it comes to copyright, so he just doesn’t bother with music.
Another victory for musicians everywhere!

TIL - I prefer it that way.
There are a few similar channels with random music stuffs, and I’ll take it or leave it. Unless it’s too annoying and then there is the mute button.

Likewise. I have seen some build videos elsewhere (like in Tested) where they use music that isn’t obnoxious, and at times even complements the build well. But for DiResta i really don’t mind the complete lack of music.

Interesting! I’d always wondered to what extent it’s possible to model a complex object solely from a three-view print.
If I showed this video to my wife, I wonder if she’ll buy me a bandsaw for Christmas?

You do not watch DiResta for safety techniques.
