Welcome to the official April Wilkerson CZcams channel. I’m April and I’m the creator of Wilker Do’s. 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. On this channel you will find a variety of content like DIY home improvement, How-To’s, construction and more. - Jak na to + styl
Here in Wisconsin, the simulators see good business in the winter when the outdoor courses are closed. I would imagine that it's just the opposite in Texas, where it's too hot during the summer to play outdoors.
Even during the cold season in Texas, people can play in comfortable temps. Thanks for watching.
Awesome work. I can't wait to see the framing.
Coal miner's daughter 😂
Thanks! :)
Wow, you have just taken me back 46 years in an instant, i was a paint sprayer all those years ago and along with my brother were tasked with the unenviable job of spraying the inside of the roof of the Pan Am aircraft hangar at Heathrow Airport! A job which took 3 months in total. We were given a White cherry picker truck in Pan Am blue in which we put the spray machine and paint. It was when the job was near the end and i was at the ridge of the roof and i got the message over the tannoy (speaker) that my wife had gone into labour with our first son! Which made dating the job easy.
Wow! What a great story! I love you can mark with the birth of your son. Thanks for sharing that with us and for watching.
That's a great idea. Air-conditioned golf with a bar...what could be better...good luck with the new venture.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for the rest of the Series. Thanks for watching.
Growth brings change. I know it’s hard to take down that memorable Wood Shed sign, but you guys killed it with the Divots sign. Looks great! Good luck!
Thanks! Yes, my Mom came to witness it. Said she was there when it went up and was going to be there when it came down. She was a little teary. Thanks for watching.
The space looks amazing! It looks like the Control Pro 170 made quick work of the painting. Nice job on updating the space and good luck on this new adventure!
Thank you so much! Yes, the Control Pro 170 was amazing! I was able to do the entire ceiling in one day. Thanks for your support and for watching.
Best of luck to you and Jacob on this venture. Stay safe and thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
I have been subbed for a long time. In May of 2020 I bought a hew truck when they were still cheap, and had thought I’d come to your grand opening that summer, driving in from northern CA. I never was able to make it, and can’t remember if you actually went through with it. Wish you the best with this new endeavor.
Sadly, it was right as the world shut down so I was never able to have my Grand Opening. You should come check out Divots. Thanks for watching.
Congrats on the new business, April! Wow, you are so amazing! I love the new logo and the indoor golf concept! I'm always inspired by your forward thinking and indefatigable entrepreneurial spirit! You go, girl! Blessings to you, your family, and staff!
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching. :)
Woodworking! Construction! Golf! If you start repairing and modifying vehicles this would be the perfect channel!👍
Good luck with your next adventure. Wish I would have known about closing the retail shop - I bet you had some nice slabs and other things for sale. Stay safe.
Good idea! Good luck! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
Congratulations April best of luck on your new journey. Hope to still see woodworking videos from you always love your videos and you sense of humor
Thank you! Oh yes, I still will be doing woodworking tutorials as always, but just show what I'm working on next which is the Golf Sim build. Thanks for watching.
We're I used to work they put these golf simulators in. Was good business. Ever in Indianapolis check out Brozzini and Indy indoor carting. Speedway Indiana.
Yay! Good for you! Golf... it's so addicting. I started playing a little over a year ago. Love it!
Awesome! Sounds like you need to come to TX to try Divots out! :)
Youre are amazing April. I always “like” your videos even before I watch the whole thing - I know it’s gunna be good. Gotta say tearing down the wood shed sign broke my heart a little too.
I’m cheering you on in your new venture.
I’ve been a fan since you were in a house garage making a dog food dispenser. So will you continue with woodworking projects or will they be along the wayside as you’re focusing on golf
Thanks for your kind words and for staying along for the ride. Oh, yes, I will still be making woodworking tutorials but wanted to show my completely renovating this side of my commercial building. Thanks for watching.
Wow. Love how you can adapt to circumstance. Divots sounds like a great venture. Hope to see your hard work and effort “hole” out. 🤪🍻
Thanks so much!
Think this is gonna be a much better business venture
I feel it will be a great business but the Wood Shed is doing great, I'm just not developing a retail side. Thanks for watching.
Great progress!!
I walked in on y’all a few months ago looking for the Wood Shop. Looks great. Next time I’m in the area will stop by and take a few swings!!
Great! Yes, we are open for business now and would love to have you stop in again. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations April and best of luck with your new venture.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support and for watching.
Very nice looking great 👍
Congratulations on your new business adventure April! Thanks for sharing with us 💖👍😎JP
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson You are very welcome April! Have a awesome week!😎😎
So exciting !! Love the divots logo & the wes anderson section 😂 all the best from Australia 😊😊
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
can't wait to see how it turns out
Thanks! Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
This will be a great new business opportunity for you April! Woodworking had been your passion and it’s been a successful venture. Golf, likewise, is a passion of yours and will definitely be successful too! I’ve been with you a long time now and enjoy every amazing video! Congratulations on your next step and have fun! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Good for you young lady. I've been with you since almost your beginning. Keep going. "Always Forward"
Thank you so much! And thanks for staying along for the ride.
What a great idea and beautiful sign! 😎👍🏻
Thank you so much! Yes, I love how it turned out. Thanks for watching.
I don’t know how I came across your channel but I did so at French Cleats. Your trajectory has been astonishing. I wish you the very best of luck though you seem to be in the habit of making your own. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
You can see the glow of excitement and pride in April from outer space 🥹
Aw thanks! I do get excited about things, particularly things I've worked so hard for/on. Thanks for watching.
Way to go you continue to be an inspiration
Aw thanks! I appreciate your kind words.
This looks like a great venture for you. Looking forward to the videos.
Thanks! It was such a fun build. Thanks for watching.
Pan of Caint. Proof positive that mouths do not come equipped with backspace keys. 🤣😎
April Your Away Awesome Great Job
Been with you almost since the beginning of your CZcams journey.
This is another exciting venture, and I hope it does well for you.
Thank you so much! And thanks for staying along for the ride.
Another Great Video 👍
Great! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
And what did I zero in on. How does she not come out completely covered in paint and the floor covered also. Obviously it would have looked a lot different if I did it - matching floor and ceiling color.
Wow you are amazing April !
Aw thanks!
Saw where you changed the sign. Are you going to put up a mini Mach up of a putting area on the sides? Cool repurposing of store front.
“How cool is that”..Congrats April! I’m sure it’s going to be awesome! 🤙🏾💯❤️
Let's hope! Thanks for your well wishes and for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson No worries! Have fun!
If Texas is alike Alabama, Golf is huge! this is cool idea! are you interested in franchising?
Congratulations!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :)
Love this been around for years and watching you morph and grow has been so inspiring
Aw thanks! And thanks for staying along for the ride. :)
April, you are amazing!
Thanks!
And a page turns. Awesome, April.
Thanks! I'm excited about the new opportunity. Thanks for watching.
They have a bunch of these in MA. Make sure to sell booze and a little food! Easy money maker.
i just had to explain wes anderson to someone the other day, and here he is.
Perfect timing! :)
Good luck with the new business April. Fantastic. Ribs hurting from the fun video. Love it. 4! If you have to try to hit the ball more than once do you shout 12? I would be at about 40 and the ball would still be on the peg thingy. LOL. Very cool sign!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Класс!!! Мои поздравления!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching.
My wife and I drove by the shop a few weeks ago and saw the sign was down and wondered what happened. Now I know. 😊
Another Chapter beginning. :) The Wood Shed just doesn't need the foot traffic Divots requires, so makes sense to use the road signage for Divots' benefit. Thanks for watching.
I was sad to see the Wood Shed Logo and retail space go away. However, COVID changed the plans for many people. It was just one of those things out of your control April. I am proud of you for not giving up, and instead pivoting to another love of yours April… GOLF! I wish you the best on your new enterprise. I’m sure it will be a big success!!! ⛳️😃🥴
Thank you so much. Your constant support and watching is so appreciated.
A suggestion next time empty the one gallon paint into a five gallon container. Also cover your expose skin with cold cream to make removing the paint easier. Good luck on your next business.
As a 'weekend duffer with a 3 digit handicap' I have that looks awesome!!!! Will you be franchising it out in the future?
Way to go April!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I need to stop by and say Howdy!
I love how at 3:28 you go into full-blown Texas Girl Accent. LOL.
Way to utilize that space! One thing I've noticed is turning out fewer videos on CZcams
It's hard work putting out a video every week. The building part is only 30% of the work. People have no idea what happens behind the scenes to make a video then have it ready to release. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations🎉! Question.. who designs your logo's ?
❤❤❤
Hey April, I built a new barn addition that needs vinyl siding, insulation, steel ceiling and electrical …. So if you’re not too busy…..?
Get out of her way, folks! She's a steam roller that can't be stopped! Very happy for you, April! Keep that mind going and never stop coming up with ideas to put to work for you. God bless.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your support and for watching.
I'm loving your growth arc, April! Been enjoying your videos since the days back in the basement shop. Your integrity, hard-work ethic and hard-won experience shows, in your content and your projects. Seeing this latest venture, it's gratifying when good things happen to good people. Best wishes for success, April!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching and for staying along for the ride.
April is an unstoppable force!
Yes....just ask my Mom. She's been dealing with this tornado since I was born. :) Thanks for watching.
The only path to victory is ahead. Retreating is not an option!
Best of luck! You'll be turning Pro, in a few months!
Thanks! I don't know about being a Pro but sure love golf.
:) Thanks for watching.
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good business move, due to the climate people are cutting back on purchases but still spending money on leisure activities. The reason for this is it's a smaller outlay at one time, long term it's not but this is not how people think. Put a cafe in using local coffee roasters and food produces, smart move.
Congrats April on your new venture! Divots looks fun and your entrepreneurialism is motivating. :)
Thank you so much!
I heard they're going to change the saying "busy as a bee" to "active as an April" 😄
Aw thanks! :) And thanks for watching.
April, I really enjoy watching your videos and the humour and fun you provide. Don't stop, keep going. You are fully of energy and creativity. You are looking amazing. This is a great venture and love your new layout and that new sign Divots is fantastic. Just love it. Have a happy and safe Labor Day. 🥰🥰
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching.
You nailed the name.
Thanks! :)
Is this franchise of the Divots Indoor Golf from Regina, Saskatchewan ?
Lol. Words are hard. Every tie I go to say "floor paint", it comes out "Floor plaint"...
Anyway, good luck with your new venture. 😀
Thanks! Yes, words are a challenge at times. Thanks for watching.
Golf literally saved my life. I immersed myself 100% after my mom passed away. Golf saved me.
I'm glad golf helped you. I'm sorry about your Mom. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson 💖
Now April can putty and putt. 😂
Ha! That's a good one! Thanks for watching.
Did you design the Divots logo yourself? If so, nice job!
I came up with the name but hired a company that has Designers, then they offer their logo suggestions and then you pick what you like. Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
WHaat.....why havent you put 3 noozles in one handle to spray from multiple directions at once ?
Well, so sad to see you April decide not to want to do the woodworking anymore. At least I guess so we won’t be seeing that on CZcams. Well, so sad to see you April decide not to want to do the woodworking anymore. At least I guess so we won’t be seeing that on CZcams. That will be a sad day. Been watching you, since you started doing projects all together. But I am happy that you have found a new and exciting career to do. Best of luck in your new direction. 😊
I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be doing woodworking tutorial videos on my Channel. This is merely a side business. Thanks for watching.
The old log could have been moved inside the shop where the employees can still view it.
If you're not going to keep the old logo, I suggest you make miniature versions of your logos that allow you to store them inside a 3 ring binder as a record of past accomplishments.
Over time, you may end up with a nice little binder gallery of all your business logos.
Thats great proud of your next step but it's not a real April video without the wave 👋😢
hi,april i envy you,in a way how choose the color,dammmm its such a beautiful combination...by the way thanks for showing,
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
👍✌🤟
Shorter more frequent videos.
Hope it works. just saying
Thanks! Hope so too. :)
This is the worstZ if you mean th best
Glad it's mine and not yours then. Not sure why you'd think it's the worst, it actually doing fantastic and growing. Thanks for watching.
April, does Texas not require you to cover the foam insulation with some product with a one burn, such as sheetrock? I was curious how your fire department let's you have it the way you have it, exposed. Here, we have to cover the insulation.
🐊🏌⛳️🦅🇺🇸❤️
What????? No April wave goodbye!!!???
"I see a ceiling and I want to paint it black..."
Ha! That's a good one! Thanks for watching.
type of simulator???
All 3 Bays have Trackman. It's amazing! Thanks for watching.
Best of luck as the business pivots to Divots! 😃👍🏻⛳🏌🏼♀️👊🏻 ..... Glad I got my OG Wood Shed glasses, I bet they'll be collectors items one day, though I still regret not keeping the complementary scorpion 🦂😉
My Mom still chuckles at the very thought of a scorpion crawling in one of the open boxes of glasses. They weren't sealed yet in case someone wanted stickers or something else small so we wouldn't have to open a box up. But we never thought a scorpion would be inside. Thanks for always being such a great supporter. :)
@@AprilWilkerson 😊👍🏻👊🏻
