How to make a simple DIY bench cabinet out of OSB

 




















Tools and materials:

Circular saw

Circular saw guide rail

Forstner bit set

Jigsaw

Corner clamps

Centre drill countersink bit

Table saw

Cordless drill

Cordless Impact Driver

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit

Mini machinist’s lathe


In this video I make a simple bench / cabinet out of OSB. I basically made it for my mini machinist's lathe. 


I begun by cutting my stock to size with a circular saw and it’s guide rail. 


I then layed out my design. I created entry holes with a forstner bit and used my jigsaw to remove as much material as I had to. I tried to cut both sides at once by clamping them together. 


I used some corner clamps to temporarily keep everything together. I then added some glue and nails. I secured everything in place with screws. I first pre drilled pilot holes, then I counter sinked them and finally I screwed them in place. 


I then added the cleats before I place the top and bottom panel. 


I also added a shelf.


I almost used a complete sheet of 15mm OSB for this project.


I actually cane out much more robust than I expected. But that was it see you soon with a new project video.
