Making The OSB Stool

Build article with free plan:

This is an older video that I had to re-edit and re-upload. I fixed up the audio a bit and added in some cheesy music.
I did this because the original is screwed up - audio is out of sync due to a 3 second intro video that is stuck at the beginning. YouTube used to make putting that intro in at the beginning of a video possible, but disabled the feature, and for some reason it wasn't removed from that one.
Also, unfortunately, I lost the original video file from my hard drive and had to download the very compressed version from YouTube, so it's not the best quality. But, at least it's watchable now, which is good because it was a pretty cool project.

I'll never look at OSB the same way. It came out so nice

***Please note that this is NOT an outdoor stool - I just photographed it outside to get the best picture.

This is even better the second time! Still can't get over how good you are at cutting out inside shapes with a jigsaw and no starter hole :)

[MyGarageWoodshop]

incredible! I can't believe you looked at a sheet of OSB and came up with the that idea! That's spectacular! Great project, great video!

[vkeetin]

I have an old trunk I am rehabbing with OSB. I removed the black plastic covering and thought I'd have to fill with god knows what. DUH. Sanding. Why didn't I think of that? Great job. Spectacular job on the chair. Thanks

I love how in the end it looks like it was carved from a giant cork. I would have never thought OSB could look so good.

[mrchava]

Man! What a skill with the hand saw! I wasn't sure you were going to do something nice until i got blown away by the end result, amazing, you are a true artist! Thanks for sharing!

[bartonrobinson]

Older videos have a lot of important meaning and options to building the chair with other types of materials. I just love the concept of that chair. Fantastic, thanks John for the Practical Chair, Happy 2016 !!

WOW that looked awesome, who woulda thought OSB could look that nice, well done John!! HUGE thumbs up!!

[ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful piece! I liked the trick you did with the Jigsaw. Plunging it to start cutting without having made a starting hole!

[BruceAUlrich]

Enjoyed watching the process. Amazing what you were able to create from plain old OSB.

[AdventuresInDIY]

Cool way you used the bits to span the sides. Always did love the way OSB looks with some sanding and finish.

[RedBeardCarpentryWoodworks]

I always enjoyed that build, also encouraged me to buy a belt sander!! Great job as usual John!

[daltonvickers]

Love the pattern to the chair. It was amazing when you were finished. Thanks for the video

[lunatick]

[StamosTee]

Wow ! This is amazing. Fantastic final result and it's just OSB.

[ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

That was great, I really like how it came out! Lots of sanding with osb, but you can keep cost down! Real cool!

[danrhoden]

Thanks! I thought I had seen all your videos but must have missed this one. I'm now putting this on my list to make a smaller versions for my grandsons.

I think it's expensive a stool of this, but it was wonderful, perfect. I'm your fan here in Brazil. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

[KennethSievers]

Yep, even better the 2nd time!!!  Thanks for re-sharing!!
