A handmade home for woodworkers and admirers of woodworkers. Our community icon is submitted by @inquanto@lemmy.world, winner of the Christmas 2025 gift contest with a lovely series of hardwood cutting boards.
It looks great, very tidy, very useful, I want to be encouraging.
I have a table with an OSB top and working there has given me serious splinters. I have not yet got a splinter that went up under my fingernail and turned into an ER visit. But it's very clear to me that such a thing is pretty likely. OSB is very good building material but it's not flesh-friendly.
I need to put some Masonite on top of it, or something. I haven't done that yet, I have lately been working with a flattened cardboard box or something similar between my hands and the OSB. As dicey a mess as it sounds.
Or give ita quick sand with an orbital to take off the edges and laquer it up
sheet of hardboard works really well. 4x8 is pretty cheap.
