Hey there. I’m April and I’m the creator of Wilker Do’s.
I am an obsessed DIYer and Woodworker. I'm not professional or have any training, so I just pick the project I want to tackle and figure it out step by step.
I picked up my first tool in January of 2013. I couldn't afford to buy the things I wanted around my home, so I decided to try my hand at making them instead. I was hooked after my first project so I just never stopped.
I put out a video as well as a written tutorial on all the projects I do to improve my home and workshop. You can find my website at Wilkerdos.com
I also have a commercial and retail shop called the Wood Shed. Find out more here: czcams.com/video/l3Rm8avK6kM/video.html

Ask a democrat. They know all about framing!😂😂
Are you drilling pilot holes?
We had a ladder in our shed growing up it worked out good
good work , where did you get that special hardware,
I would use metal posts if they werent so flimsy. Every video I see shows the fences easily moving around with your hands and being able to be bent one way or the other just by pushing them. I want something solid so I may have to preserve the wood somehow and bury and concrete. Using 3” solid metal pipes would be great if I could find them or not pay a fortune for them as well.
This is not a good idea for a deck, because the sander does not take out the paint (stain) on the edges pf the boards. Additionally, if there is unevenness between boards, you cannot take out the paint in the lower boards edge where it meets the other boards. So the only way is to sand quite a few millimeters from the higher boards. That is a ton of work and the sander will also grind the top of the nails or screws
Thanks for the instructional videos. Is it possible to do a video on building a corner kitchen cabinet?
Some great ideas, but the problem is wall space...
What kind of branch is a 2x4 supposed to represent. Imagine what a chicken wants...its not a 2x4lol. roundover a 2x2. comeone people
Feeling good thanks for sharing❤
I wanted something like this but haven’t been able to find how to do it. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Love this!!
WHY DIDNT YOU SEAL THE ENDS, and what did you use between the sections?
Thanks for this video. Glowforge seems like a great laser. I will consider it.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
My toxic trait is seeing this video and falling in love with the idea of building a greenhouse, but I'm too poor to even afford the screws🥲
I wish we were neighbors.
I've tried to fill cracks in a cookie with black epoxy, but ended up staining the surface around the cracks down half an inch into the wood. How did you prevent this?
I hope you’re still checking comments. What were the spacers made of, and how were they measured, to put between the boards as they curved? Thank you so much. Brilliant project!
Was the etsy store established before you posted these items, and/or did you use other established accounts of yours to link to to or promote the items? These are important things to mention because with a 1M+ subscriber following, that's reasonable. Starting from zero, you'll be lucky to get anyone to see your postings, let alone buy $10k
I created a whole new store, with no evident linking to my Name, Channel or Brand to get the cleanest, most accurate results. Thanks for watching.
Sadly lumber is such a ridiculous price in the UK this would be very expensive!
I like to see a woman doing work like this
How does it attach to the base?
Awesome idea
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I agree, it's awesome!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
This whole thing is because you wanted to have heating pads inside your outside doghouse???? If it's that cold that the dog would need heating pads, why don't you keep your dog indoors during that weather???
If I'm home, they are with me, but if I'm away, they are on a covered porch but this doghouse gives added comfort for them. Although not gone long, it will still be nice for them. Thanks for watching.
Is the same thing with an exterior light?
Young lady you have your act together.😊 You gave me some great ideas.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks!
what is the brand name of that Baluster...and where I can buy...thanks
I have long been fascinated by those who say that they have a “laser business”. Unless you’re in the business of manufacturing or selling laser engravers, do you really have a laser business? Isn’t the laser what you use to make the product or service that your customers buy? Is a carpenter in the hammer business, or a mechanic in the wrench business? My company has multiple laser engravers that are used daily for decorating plaques and other awards. I promise you that we’re NOT in the “laser business”!
Splitting hairs. I use a laser printer to make the products I sell, therefore I consider having a laser business. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson, it probably is pedantic, but words have meaning. Since I use a car to get to work, does that mean that I’m in the car business? For another example, what does your laser “printer” print? Printing, by definition, is an additive process. Engraving, on the other hand, is subtractive. I apologize for sounding argumentative and pedantic here; that’s not my purpose at all. Calling what we do a “laser business” is misleading, at best, and at it’s worst, it’s deceptive. To test my point, I pose a question: If I were to do engraving as only a hobby (not an occupation), could I call it a “laser hobby”?
What are some other outlets similar to etsy that you are plausible and why to avoid some? what are your thoughts about an amazon outlet? What is your estimate of the significance of youtube driving traffic to etsy? Thanks for the information.
Great video!! Would you recommend redoing countertops alongside this project or is it okay to do it separate/before/after?
How did you get power to the GFCI box outside? Is it coming from the main box in garage / a sub box?
Won't it float away in a heavy rain? ☔
Never has so far. :) We are not in a flood area. Thanks for watching.
That’s a beautiful and practical rebel pathway! Love it.
Yes, thank you! I just love the look. Thanks for watching.
I love the use of lap joints. Thanks this was a very helpful video for me.
Glad it was helpful!
cool video... how do you get the 10percent off discount code? I am going to use this system. thanks
What software are you using to design your cabinets and export your gcode to the CNC? We use a program that creates pilot holes for everything and even blind dados for easy assembly.
April Wilkerson, I love your work and I love you....
Just built mine. It was tough for my first project. Learned a lot, got frustrated a lot, but in the end, it's built and I love it. Just added my square holders (nice touch) and now I'm interested if the table could hold a vice anywhere. Suggestions?
Awesome! Yes, it gets frustrating at times but the reward when finished is amazing! Learn from any mistakes and know we all make them. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson any idea of how to incorporate a vice to this table?
Amazing work! Your skills are truly impressive!
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching.
How wide is the seat?
What are the material are the stencils made of?
The stencil pieces are made of styrene. A light, bendable plastic. Thanks for watching.
No water proofing tape on top of the boxes?
So can the electrical wire just run through the dirt with no pvc covering it underground?
Timber lengths cost so much here now that this wouldn't be viable
👍👍👍
Wow!
OBSERVATION. great idea but a rodent and snake habitat.
I live in the country so those things are around anyway. You can't "not have something" just because something may be around. Even those who live in cities deal with varmits. You definitely look before you put your hand somewhere though, even if it's just scorpions. Thanks for watching.
