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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmeGz5qapq6cm7A.html

Thank you for sharing this video April. You did a good job on the porch.
1st second on the video: you have a dog that bring to you golf ball... nice!
Perpendicular with grain is a horrible approach to follow for sanding. Take more passes with the grain to get an even sand. It will also make the deck more flat with minimal raises. It will also give an even surface for the stain or paint to coat the wood.
Definitely the wood. light weight and also sturdy.
In looking at some installation videos, I noticed that Trex strongly encourages using their clips. Would clips not work given the curve you made in the walkway or did you just decide not to use them? Trex predicts doom and gloom if you install without them.
Hi, i like it! First thought was, i need a 4 person bench! So, your structural support would be central Work left and right from there and leave the outsides open Thanks for sharing🤗 So basically two of your benches would make up a four person bench!
u r a Genius,,,!
Ah thanks! Not really but it's kind of you to say. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I'm looking to build a deck and this video is the first of yours that I watched, and I'm probably going to watch all of your deck vids. Would it have been easier/feasible to apply the joist tape *before* the joists were attached, while they were on the ground, so you weren't leapfrogging up and down each joist? Thanks!
Why have a greenhouse if it's 100 plus degrees outside? I have used one in Ontario Canada for years and even if it's 70 degrees outside and sunny the inside of the greenhouse will hit 100 degrees which is too hot for most plants.
Hey you need to take some lessons on how to hold the gun!! And WTH is a trop launcher?
This is me in 11 months. I have seen how far you have come. Beyond proud of your accomplishments. You are truly an inspiration. ❤️
Thank you so much! It's been quite the journey to be sure. Thanks for watching.
Saw these on house md in the background and was very fascinated on how they work, tutorial much appreciated
Awesome, thank you! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Excellent
Thanks!
Can i ask where u find the PT lumber for this project. Im a newbie, so i dont know much, but i checked out my Local Homedepo and only find ugly brown PT lumber with a ton of ugly little slits
I used ypur method last week! Worked out great! I went from 6 ft to 10 ft on my alley backyard fence. Thank you for your video
That is awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
thanks April. Your video was the easiest to follow to learn some of the weird nuances of Sketchup. Knowing when to click, and when not to, makes a big difference. The tape measure tool for offset guidelines and the tip to click on a corner with the move tool to have it find a reference point were massive time savers. This video may be old, but it still helped me out in 2024!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
I’m thinking of using these tough blocks on a shed , thanks 🙏
We just moved and I'm finally at the point where I am organizing my shop so I can start doing "shop stuff." These ideas (as well as the whole video) were very inspiring. Thank you for posting this!
That is awesome! Take your time and enjoy the process. Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
That’s a great hack.
Yes! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for such a simple video. After watching this I’m confident I’m able able to do this exact installation. 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Protect your eyes too when cutting dry like you did. Awesome video.
Love it. Now design a diffuser to disperse the heat out more sideways. Make it out of corten steel. I subscribed.
I want one of her!
Liked her better when she was still in the small shed .she was more relatable
Liked her better when she just started. She wasn't so stuck up
It's not being stuck up, it's called growth as your skill and confidence grows. My Viewers are varied in skill level. If all I do are small jobs, people complain I'm lazy and slacking, better now than that. If I do all larger, more complicated projects, people complain I've lost my roots. Sure is hard to please everyone.
hi how thick was the 6x6 and how deep and wide was the concrete ? great video!
Stealing a lot of these ideas
Great! That's why I make Tutorial Videos, to show others what I did and why. I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
I do think you are a hard worker and u r very knowledgeable on electric wiring sorry for the stupid comments I made
I appreciate your apology.
My only tip would be to attatch to the existing wall on the existing studs and first checking there's no gas/wires/water being run through the wall you're nailing into.
This was very helpful. I'm doing the same in my shed. Thank you.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Excellent overview. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
So is the light always on?
What are the dimensions of the boxes?
stain color?
They were pre-stained from the big box store and many years ago now. Don't remember what they called it. Thanks for watching.
Hey April! All of your videos are just amazing ! Building a deck myself and using alot of your tips thank you for posting! Quick question - what size of screw are you using with your 2x6 deck boards? #10 3.5in SS? I am also using 2x6 decking Thanks!
MDF for an outdoor sign? Really... how many sheets?! Completely ridiculous and drastically flawed engineering! Could have done much better with 2 sheets of HDPE ColorCore and it would have actually last forever without any painting!
That ladder made on the studs was very impressive. I almost bought an $80 ladder from HF yesterday for our lofted shed. Thank you!
Awesome! I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Hi April thank you posting this video. I am taking notes and will try to repeat this process at my own home. I have a question though when you make those slit cuts at the top of your post to create a notch for the 2 by 8 header, I notched you laid your circular saw down flat on the post. So does that mean the depth of cut of the circular saw matched exactly the thickness of the 2 by 8 header. I mean it seemed like it did because at the end of the video the surface of your header looked flush to the surface your post. I measured the length of my own circular saw from the shoe to the bottom of the blade and I got about 3 inches. Does that mean those 2 by 8s are really closer to 3 by 8s. Sorry for the long question I am new at this stuff.
How did you calculate the rise and run?
Hang on.... you aint Abom! 🙂excellent video, going to check the rest of the channel out....
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Them chemicals cause damage to the nervous system and the respiratory system. I can't recommend enough to use an air supplied breathing apparatus of some sort.
you've probably answered this before, but could you share the name of the Trex decking that you used on the walkway again?
found it. sorry.
Immune to water damage as well as rot?
nice power washer segway - chefs kiss!
I love the sliding gate option. Once built, can you add automated gate kit?
You certainly could, but I have no desire to change it. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkersonthank you so much! We need an automated gate and you have given me an option I had not thought of. We currently have a wood gate so building a wood frame with decorative poles would look great!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Du bist die Beste. Und wenn Du meine Frau wärst, hätte ich Dich aufgefressen. Einfach nur süüüüß.
These ideas are all so clever! Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Make me wanna be all I can be lol
