Week 6 - CAM

How to get splinters almost everywhere

Cecilia Marsicovetere

This week, we had to make something BIG with some real crappy material. I have beef with OSB, this Obviously Splintery Board. It has beef with me. I got splinters through gloves, by the lightest of touches, by just looking at it too long. I had more splinters that I could count and some of them might just be a part of me forever now. Others I have managed to successfuly pick. If you are reading this and have not worked with OSB before, heed my warning. It sucks. Get a tweezer handy. And for use in manufacturing, beware- the thicknesss is not homogenous. It chips. It splinters. It compresses. It laughs at your hubris, of thinking your carefully measured design will behave the way you intended. It will make you pay with blood.

I also made a shelf and it's cute. I want to make bigger shelf. With plywood or MDF or something that does not hate me.
