      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.

    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'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.

    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.

    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

    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.

  • @Gotblade
    @Gotblade 2 года назад +31

    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! 👍

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

  • @uSS-kc7fx
    @uSS-kc7fx 2 года назад

    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.

  • @CosmicAli_TheObserver
    @CosmicAli_TheObserver 2 года назад

    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.

    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 RUclips 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.

    Great work. I've done similar things to oak and various veneers, except I found paint was a bit too harsh of a contrast and doesn't always like the clear coat. Instead if you use charcoal powder, it takes much less sanding and once the clear coat hots it, it substantially darkens the charcoal that was left behind.

    friend of mine did the floor in his trailer with luan plywood a couple decades ago. He took a sharpie and yard stick and drew lines about 2" apart and connected them at odd intervals then sealed the floor with Fabulon and it looked like an expensive hardwood floor so he could sell the trailer. Where there's a will there's a way.
    I like the grain on the desk, If you had used a gray stain it might also look like a granite desk.

    Curious if you could have sanded it first, then applied the paint, then did a wipe like a whitewash, or blackwash in this case and then you would have been left with the paint in the recesses but wiped up everywhere else? Very cool idea. I'm about to build a new desktop to my standing desk and this might be a winner.

    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

    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’m gonna try this for my garage walls and ceiling but was going to use a black stain. Now I’m not sure, your looks good with paint. What kind of paint did you use? I’m gonna try it with a palm sander.

    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

    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.

    lol. damn, bro. You gave it a really solid shot. For what you were attempting, you did a good job.
    Despite the novelty, I'd definitely NOT prefer to have that desk. And I wear used shoes, clothes that I found in the middle of the road, and am using a weight rack as my shoe rack and file cabinets as my chest of drawers (basically I am not a fashion designer).
    Thanks for posting this novelty.

    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!

    So you're using a standing desk which looks like it has good support, but if I was going to use standard legs, should I use regengy stiffeners underneath to achieve the same effect?
