Love that look!
Matthew Cremona thanks man! 👊 Gotta be different
Pneumatic Addict you know you've arrived when Matt comments on your videos.
I love the look! I've been doing the cockpit floors on my boats this way since the 1980's, I'll now be replacing my cabin cupboards doors now using this method, never even thought about using it for furniture,

@@PneumaticAddict what did you use as a seal coat?
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
Very nice.
I’ve always liked OSB finished off. I made a coffee table out of it for an old friend, back in the late 90s. I finished it with several coats of polyurethane varnish, sanding lightly between coats. His daughter has it in her apartment to this day.
Oh my god I absolutely love how that OSB turned out!!! I never thought OSB could look so beautiful!
I never thought I'd love the look of OSB chipboard for fine furniture. Nicely done.
Mike Kapotsy OSB is not fine furniture. God these diy idiots make me sick.
Mike Slaybaugh notice I said "the look" of OSB. I realize OSB is not fine furniture nor do I think this piece qualifies as such. I do like the patterned look of it though.
I'm blown away as to how little reading comprehension you posses.
Mike Slaybaugh you sir, are not fine furniture
the code official 😂😂
Awesome, demonstrates amazing uses for TWO things people don't think about for furniture applications- resin and OSB! I need that dresser!
There is something deeply philosophical about OSB and how beautiful it can become.
I've never seen anyone use osb like this. From one builder to another, it looks amazing! The ideas are already running
Mitchell Henry Thank man! I had fun with this project
Awesome that you exist! I repurposed an OSB 'lounge' chair, that I never completely finished (over the last like 5 years)... took it apart, hung the osb with chain as 2 shelves in my garage last night... now to smooth it! Thanks!
The author does like to from scratch, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
glad im not the only one who like the patchwork look of the osb
My wife and I once covered a small room floor with osb, it was like walking on the forest floor each time you entered. Great project, thanks for the reminder.
I used a diamond clear floor varathane over osb on a cabinet I built a few years ago. It came out quite well and shiny but still showed some of the pits/voids from the osb in the final finish. I only did three coats. If you don't need the 100% filled top coat, a good varnish is a more affordable option. Love it though.
Video was layed out perfectly. Straight to the point, and very informative. These drawers look great!
Thanks Jerome! A lot of time and work goes into producing video, so I'm really grateful it's appreciated.
That is beautiful! OSB doesn't get enough credit for being what it is. I used it for the interior walls in my shop simply because of it's low cost, I painted it with a pickle mix made from watered-down acrylic paint and I think it looks much better than plywood. It was an effort to paint it though, even with a 3" long hair roller you really have to push it in to get the wash into all the crevices, one coat with a light knock off sanding with a drywall sander and you have a nice light reflecting wall where you can attach stuff anywhere and it's quite attractive.
Now that's a great idea , who would have thought OSB could be turned into such a beautiful finish ,great job 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!
I never comment on videos, but I felt compelled to let you know that I LOVE this video. Great instruction and beautiful final product! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world! Can't wait to try this out myself.
Thank you Tyler! I really appreciate the feedback. Let me know if you give this technique a shot!
I am planning some furniture builds for my new house, this look was the last piece. Thanks
I went from hating Osb to actually thinking about trying this. Wow it came out so nice well done !!!
That looks amazing. Who knew crapy chipboard could be turned into beautiful furniture. This gives me an idea for a desk
I suggest making some walls on the side of the pieces, it will keep the epoxy in place and save wasting a lot.
If you measure well, you can leave a small gap for the sides too, so they get good coverage.
Epoxy is very expensive, so I imagine it would be cheaper than letting a lot of it go to waste as drip off
good shout. So create a mini swimming pool/tray for each piece? How do you release it afterwards? Will it be stuck down?
@@dugbert9 just use tape on the sides, the tape forming little edges that stick higher than the faces so it will contain the off-flow.
I never knew OSB could look so good! Holy hell!
I've always hated the look of OSB, but you made it look pretty cool. I never would have thought of treating it with epoxy!
I am definitely giving this a shot! Awesome results, love the texture of OSB on the drawer fronts.
I used Advantech 5/8" subflooring OSB for kitchen cabinet doors. This is the same as their sheathing but has a sanded finish. You still have to sand the stencil manufacturers marks off it. After sanding I stained the whole thing blue using a water based stain. This took, even though Advantech is pretty waterproof. When this was dry I sanded it again which left the blue only in the low parts. Cleaning it off I then stained the whole thing green. This gave it a wonderful two color look.. I tried other combinations of colors on scrap bits, yellow and green, yellow and orange. I gave a few coats of varnish to the finished thing. I also painted the back white this reflected light into the cupboard and also sealed the board on both sides so there would be no humidity and warping problems. I didn't use your epoxy resin as the doors were quite big and the wood itself is pretty heavy already for overhead doors. I used Blum soft closing lifts and am really happy with the whole thing. I just love the look of this material and don't know why it is not used more often for furniture. Your chest of drawers looks great.
Good ideas! I'm planning on a lot of surface area and probably need to find something cheaper and simpler than epoxy.
I can't believe that someone made chipboard look good.
I don't . They didn't. Imho
I watched a video where they used OSB to cover the entire floor.
Wow what a clever use of OSB--I would never have thought of this! Your dresser looks great!
First off, thanks for your awesome video! It was great help for us, we just made a desk out of OSB. Two things I'd like to let other people who might try this know:
DON'T SKIMP ON THE SEAL COAT. Instead of painting it on with a brush, pour it on like you would the flood coat, just use less epoxy, and then spread it using a spudger or a brush. If you don't successfully seal the OSB with this first coat, you'll end up with bubbles in the flood coat, no matter how good you are at popping the initial bubbles with a heat gun.
Our desk was about 20sqft, this required around 6qts of epoxy for the flood coat. We used about 3/4qt for the seal coat, and we should probably have used twice as much.
what type of seal coat for osb exactly?
THANK YOU PNEUMATIC ADDICT FOR THE INFO BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE THAT YOU BUILD AND I LEARNED A LOT .
Looks really cool. Very clean yet with character!
Love how this looks! Makes me want to play with more epoxy
3x3Custom - Tamar thanks! Me too! I love epoxy
I love your videos, Tamar :-) I was just going to refer Alisha to your channel. I have been playing with epoxy for over a year.
@@PneumaticAddict what is hardner solution you mix it up with epoxy?
I mean whats that solution called in other way or name?
Probably not something I'll ever do, but holy cow, was this fascinating to watch!
Nice job! I’ve done a ton of work with resin and have seen it destroy many projects. Super important to get the surface clean, have the right temperature and to put on a good seal coat. Also nice of you to mention using a cheap brush cause you’re going to throw it away when you’re done. No cleaning that out! Keep up the great videos!
I've been using Osb board for a long time for my furniture.. I just having a thought time to get right the epoxy, but wit you video will help me a lot.. Thank you
What a great idea and an awesome and unusual look for furniture. I'm inspired to run out and get a big sheet of OSB and a gallon or two of epoxy and finish all of my drawer and cabinet faces in my shop. Thanks for the inspiration and great video.
Epoxy and a diamond ring AHHHHHHHHH! Love the video, thanks.
Such a cool looking piece of furniture! It would be awesome to colour the osb with a stain before epoxy just to give it an extra wow factor. Amazing video 👏👏👏
Refreshing to see a new ideas I always thought of osb just as building aid/material and not a useful for appearance but this looks amazing, thanks for sharing.
Great job!!
When I was in high school I made a bookshelf out of OSB but I used varnish because epoxies were not available to the public yet.
I would never have thought to use OSB in this way. Thanks for sharing a new idea. Modern furniture isn’t my cup of tea, but this is an inspiring example of how to use a material in a way you wouldn’t normally think to
My boss would be screaming at all that resin falling on the floor £££.
SPONGEBOB!!! YOUR WASTIN' ME MONEY!!!!
What a cool look! I recently started using high quality birch ply for some projects, featuring the nice looking plies rather than ironing edge banding over them. Your idea is the bomb! Awesome idea!
Thank you! I can totally get behind the look of exposed ply on the right project.
good tutorial, can i suggest saying make sure your drawer fronts are level in both directions, saves all the resin running off one edge, and id use a coarse comb to do the initial spreading, again you dont want to push fairly expensive resin over the side if you dont have to, finished drawers look great ;0)
Warehouse loft condos are selling like hot cakes in big cities all over the country. This look for furniture would be in high demand. You could even use an OSB veneer on structural members, like bed rails. You did a beautiful job.
Awesome work! I was looking for an idea for a different guitar
Glad you liked it! Thanks
OSB is very cool. I've liked it for a long time..
That's pretty neat! I like the finished result.
I never considered this, but wow.
Very nice, and nicely done!
My wife even thought it was cool...and she usually thinks I'm nuts. LOL
Alan R Thank you! I can be a little nuts from time to time so I'm glad I'm not alone 😂
This is really neat, that turned into a very nice piece.
freeman621 Thank you!
This is an awesome idea with OSB and the finishing was superb, tnx for sharing it!! 🗜🛠📐👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👊🏻
I hate to repeat others comments, but I LOVE the look.
Thanks Gary! I appreciate the feedback
That's an awesome looking drawer front, it made me click 'subscribe'. :) I'm getting ready to build another set of roll around shop drawers, and I think I'll use OSB coated with epoxy. One thing I learned from watching the folks at Stone Coat Countertops is to use a notched trowel to spread the epoxy and then go back and chop out any lines with a brush. You get a nice even coat that way.
Looks good with a polished concrete counter top to
Cool idea! It would be even more appealing if the o.s.b. was dyed. I'm imagining a red or blue, similar to what you'd see on a guitar. Just a thought, if you ever do another o.s.b. project.😊
This would def make a good computer desk look.
Absolutely beautiful! I'll have to make myself some furniture pieces like this for my bedroom. *excited dance*
That is awesome! I have some leftover OSB, and I wanted to use it to make some outdoor benches
Elisha, this is awesome! Just showed it to my road trip buddy and now he wants to try it. I’ve never used resin but maybe this will get me out of my comfort zone. Good video and excellent finished product.
The Wood Pastor Thanks friend! This project definitely kindled my love for epoxy.
I have to say that looks amazing. Good work.
Great vid, thanks! I'm planning on trying to use OSB for way more than the drawer fronts! Aesthetics are not my attraction to OSB. Simply a matter of bang for the buck. But I haven't really played with it yet and don't know how well it will work as cabinet side and such. If it works, it will make utility applications in reach whereas today's plywood prices are just completely prohibitive on a stressed budget. (I didn't get the point of the tape on the back...thanks to anyone who can turn the light on for me!)
A lovely result. and a great instructional video too. Thanks for sharing.
Added benefit is you can get OSB sheets fairly cheaply and in bigger sizes than any more expensive appearance boards.
@pneumaticaddict interesting concept. Here's a tip for you...fold over a small corner of the tape before applying it. Gives you an easy edge to pull up later
Nice idea. I think trimming the edges with a strip of wood might look good too
Or even some of that edge-banding veneer that comes in rolls for treating plywood.
WOW!! What a great finish!!! Love this!!!
Very unique idea, well done.
Really nice. I should try this in one of my next projects. Amazing :)
greetings from a german maker :)
@Kreith 32 so are you literally making german? ;P
Great job...love the contrast look for the whole build! 👍🏻
That's interesting information. I'm looking at doing garage walls with it. Using a seal coat with a brush is good to know. The advantages of using Epoxy are it is 100% solids so what you see is what you get, and putting on a thicker coat does not mean it won't dry/harden. I'm thinking about laying the 4x8s down and using a roller, and cutting them as needed after. I can then make my cuts, touch up the ends, and mount them. I don't know how well self-leveling epoxy would work being rolled on a vertical wall after being mounted up, and I want the panels removable.
That looks awesome!! I made a video a while back turning a bowl from OSB. I really like the way you can make OSB (a cheap material) look amazing. Great work
OSB is cheap but the epoxy is crazy expensive.. So...
Nice. Use only a hairdryer and NEVER fire to get the bubbles out. The vapors are highly flammable! And if you do it inside: a coal filter mask is a must have.
Melchior Hof Thanks for the safety tip. I have watched other UA-cam videos about epoxy resin for counter and table tops and they use a plumber's torch but I'm always fearful of open flames for any project.
they are not flammable at all
Great tutorial was very nice to watch thanks for the entertainment and inspiration
You can use the type of fibre glass they put on wood finish boats, it would stop the waste of epoxy, makes the finish tougher, takes less time and less messy.
Cheap material for a expensive process... Brilliant!
Super cool technique and video! Has anyone tried coating a full sheet before breaking it down into the individual parts (i.e. drawer faces)? That would leave raw edges along every cut, and those would need to be dressed somehow, but it seems like it could save some time, and potentially decrease resin waste.
Good idea! If I had a better quality table saw with a very fine finish blade, that would be much more efficient!
Very creative looks very nice you gave me an idea to do something!
Thank you for the video!
I absolutely love this look! Well done!
Nice. Maybe a first brush coat on the back with clear anything to help preserve it and keep moisture from the air out as well as keeping the splinters adhered? Excellent video.
That's a great point! I wish I would have coated the backs first.
I really like this, looks fantastic. Good video too, very well produced 👌
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
This looks amazing.
I've made table top from OSB painted with white gloss paint and glass sheet.
Great project and super detailed!!! Really impressed with you style, great job! I was about to say I'd like to see the whole,build then you ended the video with it...Ha! Seriously good stuff, keep it up
Thank you Ryan! I appreciate the feedback
Also maybe cheaper polyester resin might work nearly as well? Not quite as hard finish but (at least used to be) much cheaper.
I love this look!
That really turned out great!
I think a resin saver would be to tape a paper guard around the edge to make a well. Then you could do the same for the edges or just sand and laminate with say black. More time consuming but save resins and maybe money. 😅
That looks great 👍 You are very creative.
I'm pretty sure you spent more on the epoxy than the OSB. I'm just curious if you got more epoxy on the floor than on the board.
You will always have some waste when working with Epoxy. Like she said, better to have mixed more, than not enough. Just like with Michelangelo's David... there was a ton of "wasted" marble, but just look at the finished product!
Yeah, but it evens out to the cost of quarter inch plywood if you buy only the amount of epoxy needed for the project. I prefer this however since you can use pigments in the resin and make it really whatever you want. And the resin makes the wood really durable and resistant to chipping.
@@doibing9856 ok but I think that the op point was all cost and time considered wouldn't a better wood and varnish,stain,or whatever be better? Unless this is all materials bought already...is it worth it?
Haha what an ass😂
I wonder if you could stain that stuff before epoxy coating it. I must say that those drawer fronts really pop. Great job and thanks for sharing such an ingenious idea.
My eyes like the look of that a lot!!! :D
with plans from the stodoys, doing something like that was a pleasure.
I love this look. I wonder what a raise panel style door would look like - solid pine frame, OSB panel - all epoxied.
Pro-tip if you use petroleum jelly instead of the tape or on top of the tape if your worried about staining. It makes removal much easier
Creative, and it looks great! Thanks for the inspiration.
Gloves And respirator also very needed
I'm not a fan of OSB I've seen water damage in construction. But I love gave the OSB resin to protect it and a beautiful glass finish.
Nice. Thanks for all the detailed info.
That has an unbelievable wow factor to it 👍👍👍
yes the high price in italy the price of 1 galon is about 160 /170$ in big kits and if you use it on concrete/bricks you must add the primer
It has a great look
That's beautiful 😍 . Awesome!!
