Welcome to the official April Wilkerson YouTube 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.

I can’t think of a more inspiring story of taking a leap of faith and believing in yourself, and actually seeing it documented to follow the progress. From a beginner DIY’er to an absolute powerhouse entrepreneur, an inspiration to everyone (most importantly women) that anything is possible

April. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. Love how you maintain ones your energy, drive, and above sense of humor through all your projects. Love this one!

Another option for your soundproof wall is what I have always heard called a "party wall". 2x6 plates top & bottom with 2x4 studs. It takes twice as many studs, but seriously soundproofs. I did it for my drum room. Half the 2x4s are flush with one side of wall & half flush with the other side. Nail 2 a couple inches apart, 16", 2 more, 16", 2 more, etc. The pairs are one flush with one wall side & the other flush with the other wall side. (staggered) Hope that's clear. Now your wall board, (drywall, OSB, whatever) on one side is Not connected to the other side. Insulate & you're soundproof.

I started building houses with my dad when I was 8 years old. So glad I got the chance to do that. Built my own house and shop, my sons shop, and several remodels. Became a millwright early on which took me into the electrical field. I love building or making anything I can dream up so I know what you are talking about. 😊

April it is amazing and very cool to watch you over the past 7+ years. you've come a long way since I met you at Hartville hardware in Hartville, Ohio.
I was the gut in a power wheelchair with the little white service dog.

April, this is fantastic! I wish you success in this new business venture. So glad you documented the build and the process. This has been a great series. I hope all goes well. Thanks for all you do!

Congratulations April. What a great project can’t wait for an update on your Etsy store. That’s been really helpful as well.

This video makes me think of the old saying, “Where there’s a will, There’s a way”. Awesome, Energetic, Fun Video April! 😃👍👏

I do love the double branding of the Divots name and the gopher. Gives you more variety if you ever sell merchandise.

I’ve e been enjoying you videos for a while. In fact you didn’t have the wood shop then. This particular video was closer to heart than you may realize. Halt way through my military career, I was the senior guy. I used to tell my junior members to become qualified in everything they can. You’re more valuable if you how to meet the goal. Thank you for this one. Hey cell phone chargers on the tables or walls might go well with baked goods 😊

[karenalefounder]

You are so inspiring and talented. Don't ever stop please.

Hi, this is OSHA. We'd like to have a word with you about your scaffold technique?

Nice job. Great transition. Stay safe.

IF I ever travel to Texas with my clubs I will for sure visit. A wee bit far from Chicago 😂

[ianpearse]

Really enjoying how skills can be adapted to suit needs. Very cool.

Id love to do the same in a well populated city, like a golf bar and grill + cornhole + chipping area + putt putt... but the start up $$ is a lot.

Pretty much all the hobbies I could crame into a single location would be exciting.
