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: ruclips.net/video/l3Rm8avK6kM/видео.html

As a framer, I will say if you’re using conventional lumber on LVL, hold the conventional lumber a bit high to allow for shrinkage to avoid humps later. Shouldn’t be an issue in your application. Just something to think about
Beautiful work indeed! 💯 9:12
did not get my template that was to come with purchase. WHY NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where these frame faced cabinets originally? Did the hinge selection make the remodel look like they are not frameless cabinets?
Pretty COOL !!
Wow.
Looks great! I am acquiring a really nice cookie from a gigantic white oak that was just felled at my childhood home and plan to make a table out of it. I am thinking about a 3" piece and using smaller branches as the leg. I guess I will have to wait a few years before I really tackle it so you'll be hearing back from me
Just coming back here to check in at the beginning. Only found out about you today, and immediately realized I was gonna need to dial it way back and start at the beginning.
April, your early videos are great! It’s fun to go back and rewatch these. I have watched practically all your videos and been a subscriber since your early days on RUclips. Thank you for staying with us and please keep on building!
So, two things... 1- Its incredible to see how far you've come from "How to use a drill" to "How to do ridiculously awesome stuff." 2 - You totally carried two full length LVL's without struggle lol.
What's a mitter saw?
You and Jake are good for each other, great job, keep it up.
Yes, he's a great and valuable Employee and Friend. He's like Family. Thanks for watching.
Good morning, April! Watching this video, your excitement is palpable. I can't wait to see the end product! Thanks for sharing another great video. Keep smiling! Have a wonderful week! God bless.
Thank you so much!
Would you recommend liquid sandpaper?
As a designer and builder, over sizing the framing lumber is a great move. I would have been sure the ledger board was attached with at least 3 fastners (which you may have) to each stud and moved the 'joist spacing/layout' to attach to the ledger with joist hangers at the exact spot as the studs (ie: stack framing). However, your style is considered acceptable, my method is just another form of 'overbuilding'. Thanks for the video.
No railing? My fear of falling kicks in seeing this.
Yes, Stay tuned. The railing is currently being made so will be installed in a few weeks. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson cool! BTW my daughter is a mini you. She's got so much energy for new, diverse projects. My buddies at work are jealous of her work ethic. They have adult sons still living at home that "don't have a tenth of the skills and motivation" as my daughter does.
Hallo April und danke für deine Info und tschüss aus Düsseldorf Germany 👍👍🏠🏡🛠️🇩🇪🇺🇲🌈😁
Glad you enjoyed it. Greetings from Texas!
Your awesome! I love watching your videos.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy my Channel. Thanks for watching.
Is there anything more pleasing than to see other people work Only thing you need is a "Gravity Neutraliser" so you can remove the post but that device does not exist yet so you have to invent one Looks great, great video to follow, carry on !
I built your first pit 9:41 9:43
Awesome! Thanks for Sharing and for watching.
What’s the sz?
A video talking about how you grew your business from the old shed to the new wood shed, and where you find customers for production work would be great!
April es otro nivel!! 🙌🏾
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Just keeping on your toes. just saying
Would love to know where she bought the nails and the specific size. Also, which nail gun. I have finish nailers and brad, any info would be great.
and you are self taught ?
Yes, I am self-taught. I started out small and slow, researching a ton, learning from mistakes. As my confidence and skill level grew, I could take on more complicated builds. Now, there is nothing I don't feel I can build. You can do anything you set your mind to. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson...You're so correct. I went from designing and building small jewelry cases to kitchen cabinets, houses, sewer treatment plants, roads, subdivisions and bridges for the highway department before retiring after 45+ years. If you want something build it! If it's been done, you can do it too!
@@AprilWilkerson and you are doing a wonderful job
gonna hold a lot of booka
What is supporting the end of the beams going into the drywall?
April, your design work and implementation of the build is amazing! This is going to be very beautiful. Thanks for explaining each step and how you’re using the materials! Hope you had a great weekend! Keep on building!
Thank you so much!
You always do amazing work! Have a wonderful weekend!!
It's coming along nicely April! Thanks for sharing the video with us!👍💖😎JP
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson Your very welcome April! Have a wonderful week😎
April, the first video I can specifically remember watching of your was the dog food dispenser. It's incredible, yet not surprising, how far you've come. You're a rockstar!
Aw thanks! And thanks for staying along for the ride.
Very cool!👍🏾
Thanks!
kool ...
Genius
Nice progress April, it looks like a very sturdy structure! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
It truly is! No spongy-ness at all! Thanks for watching.
I like how you have fun making anything :3
Thanks! Life's too short to not have fun. Thanks for watching.
Great Minds Think Alike April! I always over engineer my projects too. 🤣😉
Love that! Yes, I'd rather over engineer than under engineer. Thanks for watching.
While cutting holes in your walls may be a little scary. ( I know it would be for me. ) I love the fact that this doesn't stop you, or even slow you down April. You just get it done one step at a time. Which makes your dreams, become reality!
Yep! Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and go for it. Thanks for always watching.
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Doesn’t Jacob need a mic? Jenna Phipps gave Nick one…
I love your videos and always learn things but it kills me to see you attach joist hangers before putting the joists in place. Not a huge deal for an indoor project like this but I've seen you do it on an outdoor deck using PT pine. Weird.
If I use LVL's, for single pitch roof spans of 18' inside, How big do they need to be and how far apart? snow country-cabin.
Great job. Awesome idea to reuse materials showing great planning and reducing waste 😊
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching.
Super helpful; thanks!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Fricken Lasers
So handy! I don't mind modern technology. Everything can't all be hand saw and screw driver. I like power tools. Gets the same job done and a lot quicker. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkersondid you catch the Dr. Evil reference?
Any warping??
I’m curious to see what you do with the air return so you don’t compromise your a/c.
Stay tuned to the Series! Thanks for watching.
FUN!
It truly was! Thanks for watching.
Thanks April 🪜🔨 it’s looking great 👍🏾
Thank you! I just love it! Been wanting this for so many years and now it's a reality is so cool. Thanks for watching.
