Best part is, if you ever have to do any maintenance behind the walls, no cutting holes. Just unscrew the whole panel, and put it back when you are done. No, lumpy drywall. No, repainting.
The light plywood looks much better than the darker in the other room. The weather stripping for the contrast in the reveal was a cool take on Scott Brown's original painted edges.
Hmm I'm still not convinced by the look. You are right that it looks clean and modern, but I can't get over the shed vibes. That said, you've done it really well, not sure it could be done any better than you have managed.
So as someone who has worked a LOT with this type of plywood I cannot see this looking any better in person than what it does on this video. Also if anything scratches the finish you will ALWAYS see the dent, mark or scratch.
I love the idea of using plywood instead of drywall with tape & mud. If you need to access the wall or an electrical box, you can remove that panel, do your work and re-install it. Smart!
love the ply walls. I live in my camper and all walls also have birch plywood (though I think mine is slightly lighter trees but I would have loved some of these dark lines in it).
I’m building painted plywood panels for (some) of my workshop, but I’m adding 5/8 drywall glued to it on the backside (I’m adverse to fire) and am going to to make face frames to make it look like wainscoting. I’ll attach the frames with rare earth magnets. Pop the face frame off, unscrew, and bam, access to the wiring and plumbing. Not doing it everywhere, but in strategic locations. Other locations will get construction grade plywood behind drywall….extra strength plus extra fire rating, plus ability to screw into anywhere. A few areas with get painted car siding (nickel gap) over the top of the drywall. A little goes a long way. I know the shiplap craze has run its course, but I still think it looks good…in a shop.
If you have the plug mark, and you are trying to put usb chargers in the wall, but they dont fit, temp swap a regular outlet that fits into the location. The box size and location doesnt change.
Hey Johnny. Nice project, I really like this interior paneling. I'm using a similar technique on a party barn I'm building. Did the inspector on this job have any requirements for your screw spacing for your interior plywood?
This is AMAZING. Y’all did an outstanding job, and the prep work and jig were all worth the effort. You’ve inspired me. Now I’m thinking of doing something similar as a feature wall in my master bedroom, with a bump out for the headboard and floating nightstands. Really great job!
Oh, and I feel you on the wood variation. Happened to me before for a huge build, and I was at a time crunch and couldn’t return it either. You were smart to separate them and group them by room, though. Looks great!
Using "Mid-Way" electrical plates will be a game changer. They don't look strange like "Jumbo" but give you a little added coverage. And adding draft doger gaskets between devices and plates help to round out the air sealing.
My first apartment was a split house and they used plywood to make the division. It didn't block sound AT ALL. My neighbors toilet was on the other side of the wall from mine and we had the same schedule. Every morning we took a unified poop. What a time.
In his climate zone (3 or 4) it’s technically not needed. Marine 4 and zones 5-8 require an interior vapor barrier and only those that have a high heating demand and low to no cooling demand use class 1 vapor barriers. Since it’s more hot and humid outside of the house than inside most of the time , vapor is driven into the walls from the exterior rather than inside and an impermeable interior membrane would likely just trap moisture in the wall assembly.
Sheetrock retains ambiant tempurature longer than wood. No chills/swets between heet/cool cycles. Also wood will have more of a problem with humidity. Mike
I love the plywood paneling. You gave an idea for the workshop walls. I didn't want to drywall! What kind of plywood panel did you use for the project?
@Crafted Workshop, is your wife crafty/handy by nature or was this a step out of her comfort zone? Just thinking about how to get my wife to help with projects.
@@craftedworkshop she looked like a pro. Probably watched a few videos of her husband I would think though. With the stress of the project did you two have any challenging moments? That seems to be my issue when working with my wife on projects. I take out my project frustrations on her.
There was plenty of frustration on my part but she handles me well in those moments, helps settle me down. I was lucky to have her help on this part for sure!
@@craftedworkshop thanks for the insight. Love all your videos. You make such great content. It’s interesting subject matter, filmed and edited well, with well narrated commentary/explanations. I’m sure it’s an added level of stress to film a project on top of everything else, so please know it’s well received from a content user stand point! Thanks for all the hard work Johnny!!
I actually have done two houses like this by the way, pre finished birch FTW. But I just use the entire 4x8 sheet, just screw the panel in at the edges and leave the fields open. Then you only have to put a strip of trim every 4 feet. Works great super happy with the result
I can say I'm not a fan of the plywalls. Lol. But to each there own my friend. I mean it's not like it's a house that I'll be living in. So it doesn't bother me. And there's some cool stuff to learn in your videos even if I'm not doing the exact same thing that your doing. Anyhow sorry about the long wended comment. But I am excited to see the Blum hardware. Can't wait. Thanks for another great video.
I like this and have thought about putting up plywood behind my laundry machines so I can access the electrical and plumbing if needed. But what about fire safety? Drywall would be safer, right?
I don't know what those people are thinking. Not only is it something new to me, it's bad ass cool. I personally like the glossy look the plywood has. Besides, wouldn't the plywood be more efficient on the electric bill than drywall?
Yeah, he gets less heat loss and more cooling using the plywood vs the drywall. Drywall has an R value of .5 per sq inch for half inch drywall. One inch of general use plywood has an R value of 1.25 per sq inch. In this case it could be lower due to thickness, say 1 or .75. Most of the "heavy lifting" hear is being done by the Roxul insulation. For as thick as Johnny has the insulation, you're going to see an R-23 per sq inch. So with the plywood, he might have an R value of 24 per square inch.
Are you tempted to sand the panels slightly to get rid of the gloss look? I know the look you’re going for but I’ve never seen it with gloss panels, it’s usually matt.
Yea they’re slightly glossier than I wanted but that’s accentuated with the lighting for the videos. They’re actually less glossy and that should fade some over time as well.
I’m guessing but don’t you still need a layer of drywall behind the plywood. This is required behind paneling to act as a fire block according to building code.
Nice job, but this had to be very costly knowing the current cost of a sheet of plywood. One good thing about this is you can easily remove panels if ever there was a need to get access to inside of the walls or in case of a leak you can just remove the damaged panels without tearing up the entire wall. Btw. I say do what you like in your house and don’t care what others think. Personally I like the look.
12:12, thats the most important part - that you are satisfied yourselves with how things turn out. Way worse if you spend time and money so its not reasonable to redo.

Even though I'm not a fan of the look, I can't help but admire the amount of work and creativity that went into this.

Yup!
Or you could mount them with French cleats recessed between the studs
There is no best part. This is just awful looking.
@@waynewayne9693 The best part is when it catches fire you won't have to think about trying to save the thing 🤣🤪
@@sixdsix5028I broke my french cleat video addiction a year ago. Now I want to go look at vids on hanging plywood with em
Yup, it's not my style, BUT, it does look well done and there's lots of interesting techniques used. Cool job, Johnny.
Thanks Art!
Exactly my thought, but I'm Scandinavian so prefer plain white walls
WOW!! all that hard work sure paid off. Looks Awesome!!
The light plywood looks much better than the darker in the other room. The weather stripping for the contrast in the reveal was a cool take on Scott Brown's original painted edges.
Yea, ever since I saw Scott’s videos on his installs, I knew it was something I wanted to take on. He really pioneered the look!
The plywood wall I have done I put a 1/8 by 1/8 rabbit on 2 edge (right side and top edge) Just but them up tight.
@@craftedworkshop No offense to Scott Brown (I like his work), but he definitely didn't pioneer that look. People have been doing that for ages.
I honestly love the combination of plywood and drywall. It’s such a different and unique look, but it still looks modern. Excited for the next video!!
As much as I hate doing drywall, after watching this, I'd rather drywall for sure haha
Me too, hah!
Yes, dry wall looks better. The paneling is so much wood
@@yolandalcheek462 looks like my moms 60s home haha
Love it, turned out beautifully. It may have been a pain to do, but IMO it was absolutely worth it.
Thanks, definitely a ton of work but happy now that it’s done!
Hmm I'm still not convinced by the look. You are right that it looks clean and modern, but I can't get over the shed vibes.
That said, you've done it really well, not sure it could be done any better than you have managed.
I like how you prep ahead of time for success …. Cool idea and fun experience figuring out those details. Bravo !
So as someone who has worked a LOT with this type of plywood I cannot see this looking any better in person than what it does on this video. Also if anything scratches the finish you will ALWAYS see the dent, mark or scratch.
Lots of work, but man it's paying off, Johnny! I like how you matched up the dark grain in the living area. That looks slick. 💪
Thanks man!
I love the idea of using plywood instead of drywall with tape & mud. If you need to access the wall or an electrical box, you can remove that panel, do your work and re-install it. Smart!
I have used those magnetic box finders, the ones with rough in (empty) electric boxes they were spot on and made router the opening cake.
Beautifully crafted job, well done! So is the idea that the weather stripping and ply creates the vapour barrier? Is it a good air tight seal as well?
Not a look that’s for me but I can appreciate the effort and craftsmanship required. It looks mint.

If you have the plug mark, and you are trying to put usb chargers in the wall, but they dont fit, temp swap a regular outlet that fits into the location. The box size and location doesnt change.
And you do not even need to connect the wires. Just screw in the receptacle, and make sure it is centered in the box.
Oh yes! We need more videos sooner than later!
Should be coming soon now that this is wrapped up!
What plywood material is what you used exactly it’s beautiful.
와우... 멋진 작업이군요. 평소 바라던 집의 인테리어네요. 많은 도움이 되었습니다. thanks~
always outstanding results and you do a superb job explaining how you think. Hope you have a perfect weekend ... thanks Johnny!
Thanks a lot man!
if yall dont like this video up, what a shame. I have done this before and its exhausting! Awesome video bro!
Hah, thanks man!

What kind of plywood did you use and did you compare costs to drywall? I am assuming this is far more expensive?
Hi there! Thank you for this very helpful video! I was wondering what size drill bit and countersink you use for those screws?
Was there a purpose for the gaps in the ply or just a preference. I personally like the look. gives it a very warm look.
which is more soundproof plywood or gypsumboard? thank you for sharing
Would a drywall lift have helped with the ceiling panels? or would there be a size issue?
I enjoy your videos
you have an excellent understanding of carpentry
and
a talent for teaching
You can buy 1/4 china burch pre finished for around $20 here in Okc, I’m thinking of doing inside of my shop office with 3/4, $40 a sheet. (4x8)
Oh, and I feel you on the wood variation. Happened to me before for a huge build, and I was at a time crunch and couldn’t return it either. You were smart to separate them and group them by room, though. Looks great!
Grat job love it what type of playwood do you use for this amazing project???
I'm from Scandinavia and approve these panels.
Sorry if I missed it but I was wondering what type of ply did you use? Was there a finish applied?
Super helpful! Definitely going to use the paint stick spacer trick when I go to install the plywood panels for the climbing wall in my garage :)
AWESOME! Looking for the info o the plywood, pls! What species? Thickness? Finish/prep? TIA!
looks CLEAN!!!
Thanks bud!
Do you have a plan for the gap where the plywood meets at the peak of the vaulted ceiling revealing the insulation?
Using "Mid-Way" electrical plates will be a game changer. They don't look strange like "Jumbo" but give you a little added coverage. And adding draft doger gaskets between devices and plates help to round out the air sealing.
what did you do with all the screws? did you somehow covered it? maybe i missed that part but i watched few times
Looks interesting, have a good Christmas.
Those cabinets are Tight. Awesome choice.
Wow, you guys complicated this process a lot.. plywood is much easier to put in the drywall just keep it simple and then paint it white
My first apartment was a split house and they used plywood to make the division. It didn't block sound AT ALL. My neighbors toilet was on the other side of the wall from mine and we had the same schedule. Every morning we took a unified poop. What a time.
Hah! Yea, I'm guessing it doesn't block sound as well as drywall but I've got soundproofing insulation, so I'm not too worried.
Hi , did you put any finish on the plywood? The color looks amazing!
Are these studs 1,5 inch? So with the gap aren't those screws too close to the edge?
Damn, Johnny... It's looking beautiful in there! 😮
Really fantastic work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I've been wondering: Vapourbarriers? Are they not "A Thing" when putting up ply over that type of insulation?
I don’t think it was really necessary since both faces were finished.
Poly on plywood is most definitely not a vapor barrier typically. I don’t know codes in his area, but this wouldn’t be compliant in mine.
In his climate zone (3 or 4) it’s technically not needed. Marine 4 and zones 5-8 require an interior vapor barrier and only those that have a high heating demand and low to no cooling demand use class 1 vapor barriers. Since it’s more hot and humid outside of the house than inside most of the time , vapor is driven into the walls from the exterior rather than inside and an impermeable interior membrane would likely just trap moisture in the wall assembly.
Wow ! That is a beautiful looking job…
Drywall uses compound for the joint finishes and seals (for moisture and bugs). How do we do it for plywood paneling?
This is why we added the weather stripping at all of the joints.
I'm confused I thought you needed drywall for fire supression or some other fire blocker. Did this pass inspection?
Sheetrock retains ambiant tempurature longer than wood.
No chills/swets between heet/cool cycles.
Also wood will have more of a problem with humidity.

I love the plywood paneling. You gave an idea for the workshop walls. I didn't want to drywall! What kind of plywood panel did you use for the project?
What type of trim did you use for the lighting? I'm in a mad dash to finish my new house and I need something exactly like that.
That reminds me of the 60's. But if you like it, good for you!!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one that plans and plans and plans and still has some whoopsies. Way to push through.
What thickness of plywood did you use? We are doing the same thing and idk how thick we need to use for the bathroom and rest of the house 😭
Extremely recommended
god damn it man !! thats a lot of work but i kinda like it a lot!! want to know why did u leave space btw em?
Nice shirt! I bet Mike would love seeing it!
Mike is the man!
Your information is good and very useful
Wow! Expensive walls too!
That looks super stylish
Also: probably adds to the stiffness of your house a little bit as well
You got some awesome equipment
Thanks!
@Crafted Workshop, is your wife crafty/handy by nature or was this a step out of her comfort zone? Just thinking about how to get my wife to help with projects.

Why you didnt use vapor barier between the insulation and plywood?
wood looks great
Thanks!
it looks so beautiful!!
What would burn faster the plywood or the drywall
Looks awesome. But I think you forgot to put a vapor barrier over your insulation.
Not what I would go for, but I have to admit, it looks nice.
On the first wall installed, what happened to the panel, second from the right? It seemed like it was shorter than the rest
Had to trim the length for the outlet boxes to match up, but the gap will be covered by trim so no biggie.
Dude thats looks awesome !!!!
Thanks, and what a username 😂
Are you going to put trim over the cracks or just leave it open?
I actually have done two houses like this by the way, pre finished birch FTW. But I just use the entire 4x8 sheet, just screw the panel in at the edges and leave the fields open. Then you only have to put a strip of trim every 4 feet. Works great super happy with the result
I'm going to leave it open, that was kind of part of the look, to accentuate the gaps.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Drywall would be more fire resistant for sure.
Why so many small windows? Great idea with the plywood, browsing around trying to find some alternatives to drywall for my 116 year old mill home.
Turning out great just caught up.
I think it looks great! I wouldn’t even paint it.

Do metal sheds rust?
Is plywood cheaper or drywall
Super

I’m guessing but don’t you still need a layer of drywall behind the plywood. This is required behind paneling to act as a fire block according to building code.
Not in this area, same thing as ship lap or tongue and groove walls.
Why use plywood strips for every stud? A standard 4x8 sheet is conveniently divisible by 16" stud spacing either vertically or horizontally
The 2x8 panels were way easier to work with in this small space.
Nice job, but this had to be very costly knowing the current cost of a sheet of plywood. One good thing about this is you can easily remove panels if ever there was a need to get access to inside of the walls or in case of a leak you can just remove the damaged panels without tearing up the entire wall.

It really reminds me of a 70's basement with all the wood
How much did this cost?
Another benefit of drywall fire stopping
Definitely! That’s part of the reason we used drywall on the partition walls.
