      I think epoxy sort of makes everything look better. Or at least more shiny and smooth, which is sort of the same thing. Basically it covers a lot of sins in materials. But yeah, still a nice looking desk.

    I've done something similar to this on a surface made with lots of glued strips of veneer. Instead of paint I used a spirits-based wood dye. The dye gets much deeper into the cracks so you can really sand a bunch off the top and still have the prominent black outlines where the pieces meet.

    It's funny, watching this, I was thinking "well, that's way too agressive on the sanding." Then you said that. Then I was like "well, that's not a lot better, all the paint's gone," then you said that. Then I thought, "better just flip it over and start again," and you did that. Finally I thought, "I think you'd have to sand it by hand." And success! The way you structured this video really drove the process home, very cool.

    I framed in a 2ft wall around my patio to pour concrete. When I removed the OSB the wall had a what I consider a beautiful OSB pattern it has been 20 years and I still love it. Besides that OSB in Napa is going for about $65 a sheet so you can’t really say it’s cheap.
    Desk looks beautiful, had you considered putting thin-ish coat of black epoxy on an then sanding would help with chip out and held the black in the low spots. Thank you for sharing

      I got the same surprising but pleasing effect on the concrete planters I made for 4 fruit trees on our patio,I obviously told my wife that I had planned it all along😁I painted them white. She then decided to paint them chocolate brown and dry brushed them with some butterscotch and terracotta and now they look like some sort of weave work of natural materials,and much better than my white.

      I had the same idea about epoxy and I might actually try it myself for my small workbench.
      I love the idea of OSB textured concrete! I have some old ugly odd bits of OSB in my garage so I might try making a simple concrete slab to try out the texture and experiment on this type of finish with the rest of the scrap.
      Thank you both for the cool ideas! I absolutely love the industrial look of concrete and OSB and that sort of stuff.

    I've used OSB for shelving and have really enjoyed the look of it. Some I finished with a clear coat, some with paint. I used a high build primer under the paint. It filled in the minor voids and smoothed the flake edges. Sanding is tricky and should be done very lightly.

    It's neat that you're not afraid to experiment and try new things. It turned out pretty nice. I still think it would be better (more beautiful, cheaper, easier) to use 3/4 ply. But if you're happy with the final result that's all that matters

  • @Gotblade

    I was thinking instead of paint it should be something that adds to the structure of the chips so they don't tear out, like resin with pigment in it and then you put resin over it anyway. In any case it was a great idea and a really nice result! 👍

OSB has always been fascinating to me with all of the texture. Good to see I'm not the only weirdo in the bunch. The desk looks amazing.

    I used 5/8" AdvanTech subflooring for my wall mounted kitchen cabinet doors (8ft long shelf unit with three ovehead doors.) You can get great looks with this material using colored dyes. Say you paint the whole thing with dark blue dye then sand it and then use green dye. You get a two color surface. There are lots of dye colors, yellow and green look good. The doors are heavy but with the right Blum lifts they open and close like a dream or stay in any position. The material is very stable, waterproof, easy to cut, and takes a screw. I like even the plain look of it just sand off the manufacturers stencils and varnish it and it mellows to a honey color. Note, they do a subfloor version of this and a sheathing version. The subfloor is sanded whilst the sheathing is rougher.
    I love this material, it reminds me of leaves on the forest floor. Thanks for this video.

    I'd recommend trying this project with PSL (Parallel strand lumber) The texture and grain direction is more linear and pronounced. I've made a few successful projects with it, and in my opinion, the grain is much more attractive than OSB although its a similar idea.

    My Dad spent weeks making bookcases for the folks family room, and installed them while Mom was out of town visiting a new grand baby. He did someone very similar filling and sanding several times to get the look he wanted. Mom’s vision of bookcases was oak. So, he covered all his hard work with Oak laminate, and an Oak face frame.
    The trick to get high contrast is to squeegee in a very thick paint, and force the paint down into the pores of the OSB.

  • @CosmicAli_TheObserver
    @CosmicAli_TheObserver 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What helps with that is putting down a few coats of clear matte primer then a coat of satin clear primer. That helps keep the chips in place and fills in the holes to keep things in place and also saves on paint.
    After all four coats the surface should be smooth with hardly much texture.
    Sand areas in one foot square sections. Use as little pressure as possible until whole first layer of square is all done then go from there, going with the grain on larger chuncks. The small area helps with attention to details and from getting gouges.
    My dad was a professional carpenter and had many many pieces in the parade of homes. He would use this stuff to make cheap furniture for college kids or to use in plays.
    Thanks for the video, reminds me of the 80's when this was the trend.

    My idea would’ve been black epoxy, it would add some strength to the loose fibers and act as a surface for the sander instead of the sander catching on edges and pulling them up.
    This is pretty awesome! I might try this too, I’ll combine your techniques and lessons with black epoxy and see how that works. Maybe throw a bit of graphite powder into the equation and hope for the best.

    I colored OSB with walnut ink (brou de noix), without sanding. It’s a traditional (and cheap) product very commonly used in France for woodworking. It’s effective yet transparent. It doesn't hide details, iccumulates a bit more in cracks, some chips also absorb it a bit more or less than others, so at the end you can see your wood but with a lot more contrast and details. I varnished it at the end. The result definitely doesn't look like OSB. I plan to use this for a kitchen next year.

    For long term stability you need to seal the underside of the desk.
    It will absorb moisture from the room over time and distort the flatness of the desk.

    I've done somthing similar in the past for walls. I did one coat of epoxy first, kids water-based craft paint, sand by hand with a sanding sponge, then some finish coats of epoxy. The kids craft paint is key as it allows you to reveal alot of OSB without removing much of any wood. The first coat of epoxy is done so the water based paint does'nt stain the pine OSB.

    To answer the question from my perspective:
    At 78 dollars a sheet it's ugly as hell but I had a building that the walls and ceiling were OSB so I painted them it looked ok, but I was looking for something more and I discovered a cheap method of applying paper that was intended for floors called paper bag floors.
    I decided I would try this on the walls and ceiling it turned out awesome, it was cheap but labor intensive but very rewarding, I covered everything with it , 2x4s, block walls. I can clean it easily being it's a polyurethane finish. So yes OSB can be nice , paper bags walls are a artistic expression that can be personal in that the sky is the limit in the effects you can create. Love the video.

    OSB is the GND that looks hot once a month. It's a toal trash wood product that you just wish they took seriously in the laminating process, but it's tearing in the chips not the glue. My Dad did this in the 90s with lime wash in between exposed beams in his farm house. With 3 foot centres at 12 feet high it looked great!

    I tried something very similar with amazing effects that is still durable today. I wanted to create 120 square feet of strong durable tough work surfaces for my garage/shop. I glued up 1 1/2 inch think OSB. I used a strong ethanol mix to remove the lines out of the osb. OKAY HERE is the important part, I thinned down Minwas PolyAcrylic finish until it was pretty thin. I flooded the entire area with a roller of it, sides etc Back then it was cheap, now it is crazy priced, but worth it. Let it dry for a few days. -
    -This hardens all of the fibers, including the cork near the bark edge pieces. All of the small pieces become rock hard. I sanded it down with a belt sander and had much less chip out. I finished with the belt at 120, and finished it all to 400.
    -I took some candlelight gel stain, with some steel wool in it. I coated it with a foam roller, then wiped excess after 10 min. It will not penetrate all of the OSB because of the polyacrylic, but most. You have a very organic leaf stain version with no yellowing, because of the poly. I then put the above Minwax Poly over all of work surfaces and threw on some hardwood edges.
    -The OSB is flat, and silky smooth. It still has pleasant texture when you touch, and a sheet of paper can still glide across. You have outlines where the stain could not penetrate highlighting the areas it down. The poly really makes it tough also to with stand heavy metal beating on it as well.
    Everyone who sees it, immediately wants to touch it and ask what it is.
    I knocked down some of the gloss to semi with 400 grit. Very good wood look also. I made cabinets using OSB that same way also, but used dark brown stain. Areas that received hardware, like door hinges I used FS epoxy to harden the wood fibers.
    Try it. Polyacryl is stupid expensive right now though.

  • @Vashgout
    @Vashgout ปีที่แล้ว

    I did this with red green yellow blue panels. Liquidy thin coat of black scraped across is best. Then hand sand off. Then Spray paint and/or stain the wood. The atomised paint is thin enough to cover without killing the black. I did it with spray cans and finished with clear spray all over 2 days and they turned out great. Even weatherproof after 2 years.

  • @PsyferInc
    @PsyferInc 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm actually watching this video to avoid any possible errors I may experience with OSB. *What I learned: Immediately when I saw the belt sander, I thought, oh no! Then, I thought, what grit is he using? 60? or 40? 80 is where I would start because of those scratches heavy grit would leave. I really liked the idea of using a putty knife to apply the paint. Block sanding is the way to go. You are trying not to dig, but sort of plane the surface. In the end, great work!

    my uncle made a kitchen floor out of OSB, he cut it into 15x30in tiles, then run the tiles through a drum sander and beveled the edges. after that he stained the wood and coated it in several coats of a high gloss polyurethane to fill voids and prevent chipping. it almost turned out looking like marble tile but you could spike a cast iron skillet like a football without any fear of damaged flooring. i feel like if you used a dark woodstain after sanding instead of the black paint beforehand it might end up closer to what you were looking for

    I’m only have way through the video. But when I’m doing tables where I want to be able to see the wood grain. I prestain, stain, and wipe off the stain right after. I’m curious what grit sand paper you used as well

    My grandparents walls in their house was all like this. The walls also had a thick film on them from them always smoking inside. I don't know exactly when the house was built but my memories of it come from the 1970's.

    That's really cool and great looking! perhaps you can buy black dye, and mix up a batch of quickset drywall mud with the black dye, add in some pva glue to give the plaster strength, and then skim the osb with that. it should sand much easier and prevent tear out as well. you could even use an orbital since the mud is easy to sand.

    Put a suspended ceiling in kitchen area. I painted all of the t-bar a dark satin brown, cut out 2x2 panels where there was no inking, and gave each panel three coats of Danish oil. Has been up thirteen years, and has received many compliments and questions on where I bought those beautiful tiles 😂

    I do similar things with oak veneer, paint it white or black and sand it back, i alway take my time and do it with a eccentric sander. The belt grinder is way to brutal for this kind of work, in my opinion. But then table turned out amazing! I really like it!

    5:45 when you taped it did you put the tape above the edge of the table to get extra thickness? It’s hard to tell from the video.

    I've painted OSB. And stained it. Staining is interesting as different parts of the OSB take stain differently. Clear coats are a good finish. Light sanding with an orbital sander between coats are recommended. There are all kinds of interesting effects you can get. All in all, it is different and an acquired taste.

  • @petrascholl9784
    @petrascholl9784 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Having done this sort of thing, I found using shellac as a sanding coat stabilizes the OSB. There is no reason stain or dye couldn't be added to the shellac. It drys fast and you could fill and build the basecoat to get the look you're going for. Because it's an alcohol based product it should not have adverse effects on your top coa.t

    If you are going to use paint then pre-treat with a saturating coat of shellac. It will not only help fix the wood chips and prevent tear out but the paint will then not stain the wood, making your sanding effect much more dramatic.

    Very nice! I've done a few furniture projects with OSB. Stain & polyurethane make it look like some bizarre alien exotic wood.

  • @Ferndalien

    This is a great video. As you were showing and explaining the problems you had with the first two tries, I was reminded of seeing some TH-cam videos on ebonizing wood. One of the techniques (which users said didn't work as well as the iron vinegar solution with tannic acid) was applying printer's india ink. I haven't tried it and I wonder how that would work.
    Also, clearly, other colors of paint could be used.
    Thanks for sharing this design idea.

    I created a portable computer panel for my son. It looks great with s dark walnut varnish. But I had to manually sand (always in one direction) to prevent chipping.

    Have you tried painting on then wiping off as much as you can while the paint is still wet

  • @alexistaylor969
    @alexistaylor969 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you are gonna sand OSB witha belt sander to make a desk or counter top, you want to paint, then do a thin coat of resin. Then after that cures fully you can use the belt sander to work on the pattern you want and not have to worry about the belt sander tearing out chips.
    You only need a super thin coat.
    The only issue is after you are done with your pattern you will want to will need to coat again with resin, unless you like the dark glass like crevice's.
