APRIL WILKERSON Best Moments! April Wilkerson, a resident of the Texas Hill Country,
has created a name for herself as a YouTube expert Do-It-Yourselfer with over 1 million subscribers.
Let’s jump into her top five best projects over the years.
Top five projects which garnered her reputation April's profession began with a pantry,
and her ambition is to glance around her home and see everything she has built. Despite her
extensive woodworking knowledge, April still has challenges with some projects. Despite this, she
continues to use the trial-and-error process that made her an internet sensation. In her mind's eye,
she visualizes the finished product, which gives her motivation. She is well-known for her crafting
abilities and is well-liked among DIY (Do It Yourself) enthusiasts. The following are some
of her projects that, in her opinion, helped her gain a name and promote her career as a YouTuber:
The Ultimate Workbench April Wilkerson built her dream
workshop around 2018 on her new property in Texas. When the shop was almost finished, she set up
and organized all of her machines, tools, materials, and supplies and found that she
could create a bench that housed most of her tools while she continued work on building her workshop.
This bench's unique feature is its large working area, as well as adequate storage space,
which would help the user’s workflow and allow the worker to have his or her tool
as close to hand as possible. She stated that she completed this masterpiece in a single day.
She needed a great big workbench so she could get back into projects (and check
off all of the various "punch out" activities that remain when constructing a structure).
She also needed a bench to temporarily store a lot of the tools and supplies she needs for
projects because she hasn't put up all of her wall-mounted bins, racks, and tool organizers.
The simple 4 by 8 bench took her only 6 hours to construct.
After that, she built some drawers, storage, screw box holders, pegs for hanging clamps and tape,
and a French cleat system to store some hardware bins she'd manufactured in her former shop.
As a result, she has a very solid and practical bench that served her well
as she finished building her workshop and continued to film YouTube project videos.
This video in particular has since garnered over 3.4 million views on Youtube.
The Folding Adirondack Chair
Wilkerson had this idea when she was trying to save room for her desk, and this notion gave
birth to the Adirondack chair, which delivers laid-back comfort while saving storage space.
"It's a really simple design and build, but it's durable and incredibly comfy," she says of her
modern take on the classic rocking chair, which she made with one of her favorite high-performance
building materials. "I chose Western Red Cedar because, while it is a naturally robust material,
it is also quite lightweight, allowing me to easily lift and move the finished chair."
It's also a sustainable building option. Woods like Real Cedar, for example, have the lightest
carbon footprint of any construction material. With this in mind, she started with six 1 by 6
of beautiful, sustainable Real Cedar and used 3D modeling software to build the chair.
She then cut and traced some unique templates to speed up the process.
It was then time for this maker to create! Because Western Red Cedar is free of pitch and resin,
it accepts and holds a variety of finishes excellently.
Allowing your chair to weather naturally is the most low-maintenance choice.
"I think raw Western Red Cedar is stunning," Wilkerson adds, "so I'm going to apply a clear
coat to retain its lovely coloration." "If you didn't know, Western Red Cedar is inherently
rot resistant, so it's a fantastic choice of wood if you plan to leave your chair outside."
April Wilkerson's traditional cedar chair has timeless appeal - excellent for sipping lemonade
on your porch, or as a beautiful addition to any nursery if you're growing your family.
It'll be another spot for Wilkerson to relax with her animals. "Ahhh, I can't tell you how much I
love it," she says."I'm overjoyed with it." The Workshop built by her
This is the shop in which the master of craftworks homes her craft, and she revealed in an interview
how passionate and dedicated she feels while working there, as well as how her grueling
yet joyful three-month efforts turned out to be the lovely workplace of her dreams.
April was meticulous in her preparation, execution, and documentation of her method,
as she is with everything she does. She posted updates on Instagram posts and Instagram Stories,
as well as YouTube videos describing the stages of the construction.
It's was an amazing process to witness for anyone who's ever dreamed of planning
and creating a workshop from the ground up. It was like watching intriguing reality television
as we've witnessed April deal with the highs, lows, and major setbacks that come with a
project of this magnitude and complexity. When a Texas deluge of biblical proportions
swamped one area of the new shop, soaking just-installed wall boards and insulation,
we felt her sorrow firsthand. Anyways, the workshop has since
been completed and the final installation of the series was posted on the 21st of July 2021.
The Enclosed Walk-in garden Her walk-in garden, which she sketched while
considering the arena in which she lives, adds to her list of accomplishments. It has ten 8' beds,
with a self-watering system in the main enclosure and two lower to the ground beds in the center.
She created a single raised garden bed to try her hand at gardening a few months before the
project began, but she didn't get very far because the deer ate everything she tried to cultivate.
That got her thinking about a fenced-in concept. She wanted something where the fence was built
into the planter boxes, and because she had a large yard, she went all out.....
well, everyone around her thinks it's overboard, but she believes it's fine, and so do we.
Fun fact, on the week she wanted to build this project, it started raining heavily
so she built everything away from where she wanted the garden to be.
She built it in her workshop and got help from people to help carry the garden to its site.

The Compact Chicken Coop Wilkerson has a liking for hens,
which drove her to design a chicken coop, another masterpiece created with her skills,
which has the unique feature of being able to open and close its windows
depending on the weather. It also features a couple nesting boxes for easy egg collection,
as well as plenty of room for the chickens to run and be a free-range breed.
A year before she built her compact chicken coup, she built a massive chicken coop for her neighbors
since they had so many chickens. Building this ingrained the idea of actually having her own
chicken coop. She wanted about 10-15 chickens so she opted for a compact chicken coop.
She built it off the ground to keep predators like snakes out. It has four nesting boxes,
three roosting bars. The removable panel in the back can also be taken off,
as well as a drop-down hatch up front that can help her quickly and easily
sweep out the coop when changing the litter. Her woodworking and metalworking skills propelled
her to stardom. Miss. Wilkerson, on the other hand, has shown how a regular woman can build
a successful profession from the ground up. As at May 2021, Wilkerson had fetched a gross income of
around 231 thousand dollars. Wilkerson's drive to share her expertise has led to her current
success. April put time and effort into her hobby, and it paid off. She recognizes that investing in
one's passion can be a risky proposition, yet she encourages people to take the risk nevertheless.
