Plywood and OSB vs. Sledge hammer 🔨 #framing #carpentry #lumber

What happens here

From the elevated position on the ladder, a person throws a hammer at the plywood panel. The hammer impacts the panel, causing a visible indent and some debris. The hammer falls to the ground and is then retrieved. This action is repeated with a different type of panel, which is identified as 'OSB' by a text overlay, and later with 'Plywood' again, suggesting a comparison of materials or multiple tests. The person throws a spade and then a sledgehammer at the panel, observing the impact of each tool.

Goal: Apply impact to the wood panels with various tools

Tools and materials

  • Extension Ladder — Providing an elevated position for throwing tools
  • Hammer — Applying impact to the wood panel
  • Large wood panel — The material being tested for impact resistance
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from flying debris
  • Sledgehammer — Applying heavy impact to the wood panel
  • Spade — Applying impact to the wood panel
