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!! :)
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.

@R F Is that true? How come?

@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.

@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.
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!

Did he wood putty all the seems?
killer project, Mike. That was a hell of a lot of work
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
Mike, I can’t imagine how much work this was, but dude, it was well worth the effort. Great work!

No doubt!! Thanks Kris
Someone really loves their parents. Seriously
Hats off to your dedication and commitment to get this done! That's lot of work, but the result is amazing.
Yo-that was truly a (literal) labor of love. Sooo much work for an awesome reward. Props to Modern Builds.
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.
Great job, I'm surprised how perfect plywood floor looks.. So simple material but so fine result.
I did once for a F&B in Malaysia. With white oak solid 22mm plywood underlay . The result is amazing ..
Very nice project Mike. I really love the design it makes on the floor. Thanks for sharing.
This is the best use of plywood I've ever seen! Great job!
I love how you take something as simple as plywood and making a beautiful floor out of it!
This is a million dollar project ! Thank you for sharing this with us ♡
Mike, This was an insanely unique idea. While it took time, I am sure they will appreciate the artistry that was included. Great video!
Certified BANGER! That’s beautiful, good job Mike!

Haha!! Nailed it
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!
Wonderful craftsmanship and film editing skills. Well done!
Super clean! Great project, Mike!
Amazingly beautiful!! I love the variation in tone.
100% certified banger! one of my favorite projects from you
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!! 👍☺️
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.
This looks so amazing! Love it.
Looks great, Mike. Glad to see you posting video content again. Cheers! 👌🏽
I just learned an amazing idea to make my own floor , l know it took you many hours of work, but at the end of the day the most valuable thing is how the satisfaction feels. It really worth it. "Thanks for the video"

Wow love the dedication
Mike these are awesome! Well done I was so excited to see these after hearing about this on the podcast and insta!
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.
Great job mike it looks amazing
