  • 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. If you want to make your own DIY hexagon patterned plywood floor, follow the link below to the written article on my website with PDF plans / templates for FREE

    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?

    • @brianwaugh9249
      @brianwaugh9249 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @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
      @audratodd 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @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!

    @markoygmailcom 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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

  • @brianhubbard6423
    @brianhubbard6423 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    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.

  • @howardhagadorn9443
    @howardhagadorn9443 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    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.
