Today on Modern Builds we're using plywood to create an INSANE patterned wood floor with limited tools. If you want to learn more about why I used plywood instead of solid wood be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I go over that.

Hey everybody!! I just read through all the comments and couldn't believe how encouraging and positive they were. Thanks a ton!! :)

@markoygmailcom 4 года назад

Really pleasant manners, clear way of speaking and exelent behaviour over all. Also I could get small glimse, how by working hard and neticiously, one can achieve good results. Finished floor looks really good and video as an whole, is great inspiration for DIY projects

@WinstonMakes 5 лет назад

Dang, this is one of the best examples of elevating a simple material you've done yet. Definitely a project you should be proud of.

@ModernBuilds 5 лет назад

Right on!! thanks Winson

@reynalarouge7808 4 года назад

@R F Is that true? How come?

@brianwaugh9249 4 года назад

@R F Not necessarily true. This is plywood, NOT solid wood. Very little expansion and contraction particularly in a temperature controlled house. Due to the various direction of the strands in the plywood movement is negligible. Also, the beauty of this floor is that it is easily repairable. Remove and individual tile that is damaged and fix your floor easily. Waaay harder with a solid hardware floor, plus a heck of a lot more expensive.

@audratodd 3 года назад

@R F I lived in a really cool carriage house with plywood floors and it withstood a ton of traffic. If you watch to the end of the video he explains why they chose plywood instead of regular wood--it doesn't expand and contract.

@markbonham3477 5 лет назад

As an old floor covering contractor I must say I loved that finished look. I am glad that you installed it instead of me. Thanks for sharing!

@furthernorthfab 5 лет назад

Mike, I can’t imagine how much work this was, but dude, it was well worth the effort. Great work!

@ModernBuilds 5 лет назад

No doubt!! Thanks Kris

@Fixthisbuildthat 5 лет назад

killer project, Mike. That was a hell of a lot of work

@DIYMontreal 5 лет назад

Hats off to your dedication and commitment to get this done! That's lot of work, but the result is amazing.

@zeka984 5 лет назад

Great job, I'm surprised how perfect plywood floor looks.. So simple material but so fine result.

@jensk5888 5 лет назад

I love how you take something as simple as plywood and making a beautiful floor out of it!

@NJPDesigns 5 лет назад

Dude, this looks incredible. I'm loving seeing the attic come together!

@Grace2Grace 5 лет назад

This is the best use of plywood I've ever seen! Great job!

@JD-be7ys 5 лет назад

Mike, This was an insanely unique idea. While it took time, I am sure they will appreciate the artistry that was included. Great video!

@eddieloh1309 5 лет назад

I did once for a F&B in Malaysia. With white oak solid 22mm plywood underlay . The result is amazing ..

@felixfromnebraska8648 5 лет назад

Very nice project Mike. I really love the design it makes on the floor. Thanks for sharing.

@ForkNknife1111 5 лет назад

This is a million dollar project ! Thank you for sharing this with us ♡

@JonnyBuilds 5 лет назад

Super clean! Great project, Mike!

@jackstrubbe7608 4 года назад

Cool as hell on a decent budget. I've done wood inlay and ceramic mosaic work all my 71 year old life and am addicted to pattern. You have a great attention to detail.

@SuperDuperTango 5 лет назад

Definitely a certified banger! I’m so excited to see this vid after hearing about it on the podcast and seeing progress on IG.

@katealber 5 лет назад

They look SOOOO good, Mike! I was following along on Instagram stories, and loved this project. Your dedication to pushing yourself to try new and more complicated projects is so impressive. Great job!! 👍☺️

@Trentwhetsel 5 лет назад

You are so talented! Thanks for sharing! I hope to bring projects like this to my home soon!

@brianhubbard6423 4 года назад

Very nice. I helped my dad do this many years ago but we stained the plywood different shades before cutting it. When putting the pattern together the difference in shading of the plywood made it easier to put together and it looked amazing. Keep up the great work. God bless.

@stanleyshostak2737 5 лет назад

Certified BANGER! That’s beautiful, good job Mike!

@ModernBuilds 5 лет назад

Haha!! Nailed it

@MaryAnnNytowl Год назад

Oh, holy _~bleeping bleepety bleep,~_ I LOVE this idea! I mean REALLY love it! I've got the table saw and plenty of time on my hands, and a whole kitchen to redo the floors on. If I make sure the coating is one good for high traffic, this should be perfect for me!

@TheFiown 5 лет назад

This is pure Genius ! I would do this staining in three tones ,,,,, can't wait to do thsi somewhere ,, love ply !

@rm.builds 5 лет назад

Looks great, Mike. Glad to see you posting video content again. Cheers! 👌🏽

@parzdiver 5 лет назад

Great job! I love the look and nothing about the job was incredibly complicated, but a heck of a lot of work. I can totally understand your comments about the monotony with cutting the pieces and laying them down. I like the comment you made on the podcast about being able to make adjustments if you started straying from a straight line with just a little trimming.

@matthewszostek1819 4 года назад

Your level of detail got you an instant subscription. Not your average plywood floors. Nice.

@SouthernStyleDIY 5 лет назад

That floor looks so freaking awesome!! Absolutely love it!

@lucybarrett-mead2757 5 лет назад

love this!!!! Currently planning a Reno of a kitchen to a disabled Access room and this floor would be great!! Functional and beautiful! 💗💗

@amycyclenut 5 лет назад

Dude, you have the patience of a saint! It looks awesome.

@josephmalinowski6817 5 лет назад

that floor came out really beautiful you did some amazing work I'll give you some skills on that job

@howardhagadorn9443 4 года назад

I've been looking for an alternative flooring for my living room and this fits the bill. I've seen plywood used before, but they just cut it into planks and truthfully it was BORING. I watched your concrete overlay video and was impressed so I thought I'd check your other stuff out. This one got you a new subscriber. It's so refreshing to see a guy that actually knows what he's doing! Too many making over someone else's videos for content instead of knowing and teaching their content. And such a young guy too. This old geezer is totally a fan!

@smc4lcc 5 лет назад

These look great! As i mentioned before, i did a similar design with a coffee table, but i used reclaimed oak flooring. My only concern with the plywood was refinishing, since you can't really sand much until you start hitting other plys in the plywood. But since this is a low traffic area, it doesn't seem like it'll be an issue. Nice work Mike!

@lauriehuber3040 5 лет назад

Wow, beautiful floor! Really great instructions and directions. 😉👍 Bet mom and dad are thrilled with the result.

@dubox37 5 лет назад

100% certified banger! one of my favorite projects from you

@rneustel388 4 года назад

@travismcleod5078 5 лет назад

I love this idea for a mod spin on a wood panel wall! Keep up the great ideas and work bro

@Cameron-ki1qx 5 лет назад

That looks great! I've never thought about plywood floors but it seems like a great idea that I'm going to look into.

@LoveTeeC3 3 года назад

Yo-that was truly a (literal) labor of love. Sooo much work for an awesome reward. Props to Modern Builds.

@mark22732 5 лет назад

I love when people use plywood in unique ways. Plywood has such a negative reputation, even the nice stuff, so its so nice to see people use it in unique and exciting ways.

@Maurader2004 4 года назад

Oh. My. Glob. These are gorgeous. 😍 I wish I had somewhere in my house that needs new flooring so I could try this. Maybe we'll do a wall instead.

@cadendignard-campbell4578 4 года назад

I think birch makes this pattern look more pleasing to the eye and gives it a modern look instead of tacky. Nice job buddy :)

@distraxak4072 5 лет назад

This video is really helpful because I'm making a gaming room with and I want it to have a nice flooring. BTW can you make a video on making a modern coffee table that can put a mini fridge in it. So I can store some snacks and beverages. I want to make one because when I invite some friends over we could have a great hangout place. Please notice this comment

@danthemakerman 5 лет назад

@rtkevans 4 года назад

This is so awesome, a nice modern spin on parquet flooring! I'm thinking this might work really well with a tongue and groove engineered floor as well -- 2 of the 4 sides of each diamond would lock in nicely and prevent any lippage...
