Using a template to rout a hole in OSB sheathing?

If you need to install threaded inserts in thin gauge metal, I'd recommend using Marson riv-nuts. Here the Marson nuts are installed in aluminum to accept threaded fasteners to retain a cover.

Riv-nuts rule! They are so insanely handy for almost any purpose, such a simple but great design.

Several years ago, I built an entire desk, for a local library out of a specialty product that is essentially OSB, but impregnated with some kind of resin. It cut and routed the same, but felt a bit more dense and slightly shiny.
I thought it was a bit "much" with everything matching, thinking it would have been better as just the top,  having the drawer fronts different in some way. Other people liked it though, so I guess it's up to the viewer?
You can't see it in the pics I have, but the outer walls (modesty panels) are the same too.

Where did you get the OSB edge banding?  [eek] [big grin] [wink]
