You're videos are really inspiring. A lot of people make these kind of things look like magic, but I saw your first fold down table and now seeing you improved it again and again is great. It's nice to see you do trial and error to find what works.
I love the way you aren't afraid to show how some of your plans don't always work out. Also, kudos on taking a mistake and turning it into something useful.
I simply love the process where you try things that do not work out just right and overcome the challenges by thinking through them and finding a solution. I think this is a VERY VALUABLE lesson for many DIYers. The highest skill levels are attained through learning and trial and error. Thanks for not editing out the parts that did not work; they're as integral a part of this video as the parts that did. Keep the faith DIYers you will succeed, eventually!.
Loved that you kept the entire process in to help show that a project rarely comes out how it's first envisioned.
Well done. I so enjoy watching you and the joy you show when something works. I am an amateur female woodworker also. Thank you for showing the mistakes, it is encouraging to see someone else make mistakes and the corrections.
I like how you point out all the issues you run into as you work. Usually these are edited out, this just made your video more realistic and more entertaining to watch.
Well done, I enjoy the fact that you show us the thinking process and aren't afraid to show what works and what doesn't work. It's a rare approach and very informative. I hope when it serendipitously happens again you'll continue to share with us. As always looking forward to your next project. p.s. thanks for including links, very helpful.
This is FANTASTIC! My brother has a tiny kitchen in his apartment where the door swings in towards the limited floor space so I was looking for a table idea similar to the one in our old camping trailer--this is it! Thanks for the great video tutorial!
April, again I love your approach. When you tried the first design and it didn't feel right, you changed to a different set up. But then you still made use of your first idea. You are good at making modifications as problems arise. All of your ideas that didn't quite work the way you hoped are now stored in your memory to use in the future. We learn so much from those. Great job. :)
: ) Thank you. Agreed! Every time something doesn't work out I learn a lot from it and there have been many times where something that didn't work out in the past has come to mind and prevented me from making a mistake. So it's all a learning game.
Nice to see your problem solving process along the way when something doesn't work out the way you expected. It beats "perfect" video presentations.
finally, a shop channel that shows the backtracking that happens when fabricating. spending hours on something that will eventually be eliminated altogether in the end is an all too real part of my process. glad to see a video that allows me to feel human, rather than just a time wasting pile of dumb.
Thank you April.
I love the fact that you shared with the viewer that you had an initial solution and post implementation you decided that there was probably a better solution; and immediately set-out to make the necessary changes. I too will typically go back and remedy my own work, but I hate it when my brain fails to provide the best solution prior to implementation of the less effective build. Thanks for making me feel better. :-)
wow! one of a kind women. she like a craft hobby this is my first time to see a woman doing a carpentry works and all power tools is 100% genuine...
I never was good at starting over on a project as I tend to over think things so, just the process of undoing what I spent all these thoughts on is over whelming however, my brother Karl would just say well that don't work rip it out OMG. My brother like you, is a doer and I'm too much a thinker. I always admired people with lots of both like you and Karl. Great video and thanks for being you!
Good to see the initial attempt that didn't work quite right but then you came up with the simpler legs. I appreciate you keeping it real and learning from mistakes that you point out.
I like the way you tried the idea and then diversified from it with a real life mock up and chose another route....ain't nothing like first hand experience...the best laid plans and the real world are two different things! Good stuff, looking forward to the next video.
Thank you so much April, i have been struggling for the past half an hour with the drop down work bench I am working on, and you just gave me the inspiriation and idea's to go and finish it!
It was interesting how the farther you got in your design process, the simpler the design became and the better the outcome was.

I like the space saving tables. Of course all those flat surfaces are ideal for piling stuff up. I tend to put stuff down instead of putting stuff away if there is a too convent table nearby. I do think the design change worked out well for you. Keep up the good work.
I've lost count of the number of projects where I've had to backtrack because of some issue that presented itself later in the process. I'm glad you included your whole process, and that you made use of the original legs you built. (Incidentally, none of the floors and walls in my shop are square to each other either, so I can relate to the first problem you ran into with the legs not swinging out smoothly.) Your video also gave me some new ideas for the project, even though you didn't actually do them. And you got yourself a new subscriber! 😊
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS WOMAN?
In reading some of the comments, I also agree that it is more interesting to see you adapt and change your ideas than to just edit them out.
Awesome video as usual. I like the way you work through the obstacles that comes your way. Your thought process is second to none. Keep up the great work. You get better and better with each video and project.
Take care and be safe.
Thanks for sharing

Great video! I really like how you "showed the design mistakes" and the redos. Bottom line, most of us that are watching videos on line, are not pros, but tinker-ers. I make the same TYPES of mistakes (floor to wall level/square). Now that I've SEEN it, and know the correction, I don't have to deal with frustration of my inexperience on this type of project (which I am doing in the garage). Love Rockler too!
Nice job April. I like how you show the problems you run into and how you try different solutions. It's neat to see how you think things through to the end. You have a couple funny parts too. Thanks for the laughs. It was enjoyable to watch. Douglas
Cut out a little notch in your header and just go over the AC cord. It will take just a few minutes and zero $$$$. The process was fun to watch. Complex ideas. Simple solutions.
Nice job running through your thought process. I'm convalescing from surgery so I can't do the work right now. But, I've been scratching out ideas on paper for a similar table, and, at this point I was wondering about folding leg brackets. Thanks for doing the sweaty part of that for me!
Dobrý den, duben, dnes jsem se podíval na videu a mohu říci, že jsi velmi chytrý a hodně věcí, které by mohly vyrábět sami a mají krásný představivost. Jistě budete mít od vás nějakou inspiraci. Jen tak dál. :-)
In an attempt to plan around a lot of reworking of projects I learned to sketch up a set of plans and then mull over them for a day or two. Typically the best way to construct it to my needs becomes aware and since using this technique I don't back track and waste time. I have a friend that builds small scale models of her projects to save time and waste. Works for her.
Very cool! I like the mistakes you showed. And fixed. Now I don't feel such a klutz myself. Its very encouraging to see a female in Woodshop, not enough of us here. I love the way your shop is organized. Good work!
I really love your channel. You remind me of my mom.
When I was a little boy we lived in a house that had
all of its rooms off of a long hallway, lined by about
50 feet of wooden shelving that held what seemed like
and endless supply of power (and mechanical) tools and
such. My friends always commented on how cool my
dad's tools were, I took delight in explaining that my dad
was an engineer and a scientist so he didn't get his hands
dirty and that ALL of the tools were my moms. You have
a GREAT channel, really!
You are a breath of fresh air, compared to all the T and A shows out there! And your better looking too. In other words...You have real Class, luv ya!
Love that I have another woman to look up to that likes woodworking like me! My neighbors think I'm a little old granny type housewife until they see my 2 car garage workshop!! Just livin' my dream at 53.🤗
I really like that you kept both options on the video. I like the folding legs for what i need for my garage.
Nice work , really admirable work, might I add that you are a gorgeous enthusiastic creator and builder with thy wood , blessings beautiful
A simple idea that works in narrow places. Well done, you are wonderful
Hi April,
You really are the queen of pocket holes!. After watching quite a few of your vids I think it's justifed to conclude they are your primary method to make 90-degree joints. You have quite a fancy tool to make them too, I haven't seen anything like that around here which is one of the reasons why I don't use pocket holes that much . The other one is concern for the strength of those joints but it seems to turn out OK for you each time so perhaps it's not that bad after all. I really like what you put online, it gives me ideas and it's nice to watch. Greetings from NL!
Great job! Nice idea and solutions. I love how you do micro celebrations on a job well done or resolving an issue! Refreshing and puts a smile on ones face.
Nice design. And it's great to see how you made your decisions as you built it ... and why!
I like that you don't edit out problems you encounter creating your vision. But show us the solution. Just about everyone out there knows what that's like. Except for know-it-alls.
April you rock.Your a old sole your skill and wisdom comes from way back thanks for all the information and videos you go girl
This is a great project video! I like the way it free-flows. I kinda do that sometimes. When I run into a problem, reset and go a different direction. Some videos I see, I think "yeah, like you meant to do that..." I have some spare wood from a recent home repair and this looks like a great way to use it.
I spent more than 4 hours today to watch ur videos your doing amazing job
The folding table is a life saver, awesome work April.
Watching you work makes me smile. Nice job.
BTW, you can get 220v extension cords and power strips on Amazon. Less than 20 bucks.
John isn't this weather wonderful!? I'll have to look on Amazon for the cord, I went to two big box stores and neither had one that had a horizontal and vertical prong.
+April Wilkerson Two days of great weather followed by a Cowboy win. Life is good.:) Too bad Dez is out for 4 weeks.:(
Nice save April! Two folding tabletops for the effort of one-or-so!
This was more instructive than if everything had gone according to plan.
; ) Thanks
I am impressed, you are so talented. Wow you own all those pro tools?. they are on my wish list...... Thanks a lot
That looks sturdy. Thank you for sharing and thanks to Rockler for sponsoring this video.
I love seeing your iterations and hearing why you made them
this is a great idea for someone like me who has a tight workspace I foresee me converting my giant stationary workbench into a folder. It will also solve my problem of pile up on the bench.
love your videos, If that is a 110v air conditioner, they make what are called "appliance cords" they are short extra heavy extension cords. if 220v make your own with up to 3 feet of 10 AWG wire and replacement ends
Way to go, April. Shimmin' it out like a country girl! Way to use your...feet! If I didn't know better, I'd say you have a thing for folding tables. ;-) Another cool project, kiddo. Troy
April,
Nice job on figuring it out to work the way you wanted kiddo. One small tip that might help you with your sawsall...shove the saw's shoe against whatever you are cutting and the blade will work better. I noticed in this and your last video that you were using it more in the middle of the blade, that allows the saw to work you and your hand / arm. Try it on some scrap and see what you think. Again, thank you for all you do.
Mike
Now that's a nice space saving T-track table. By the way, thanks for the shout out. That table will serve you well!
i love the variety of projects you've done, plus its nice to see a woman doing them...i do also like the real life situations of adjusting the project as you go... that makes the projects more useful i think, bc it shows how to fix stuff that happen along the way...thank you for making these videos :)
Old one but saw now, thanks for sharing, it is different as it shows the stages of improvements...like the final one...
great idea i made a fold up work bench but it was 36 inchs x. 6 feet it was heavy but that was 30 plus years ago lol. i like yours cause it light and does not take up a lot of space to
Keep the great videos coming April....
That was great it worked out better in the end.
Usually floors are uneven , when I saw the wheels I thought of the floor area rite away.
shops coming along great thanks for yet another great video.
Mike
The final outcome is what counts, and I think you accomplished that in a double sort of way :). Nicely done April!!
: ) Thanks Danny. Yeah it worked out for the best because I had been meaning to make a folding ledge by my window for my fan.
Very nice video. I want to install fold down workbenches into my garage and thought this would be a good option. I wasnt really feeling the vibe of the first build but I love the final result. That's the design I'll be using for my work stations! Thanks!
Now THIS is the real deal - starting in one place and ending in another. C'mon now, admit it - we've all done it. Only most of us don't make videos while doing it. : )
Bello lavorare così vi manca niente la passione nn manca neanche a me ma voi avete attrezzature da vendere siete fortunati
The 2 designs are both marvellous !
Very good idea , since sometimes there is not enough space ... great success to you and thank sharing !
This is how 90% of the projects go in my shop. Start with 1 idea, end with something completely different.
Ya me too lol
Nice project and great video presentation. I like how you show and explain the process from prototype to final so we can see and follow your thought process.
awesome table and that chair looks so fun
I so appreciate a female that is genuinely interested in how things work. Super coolio!
Interesting bench. For your wiring issue, I would add a new plug just below the unit, then trim the excess wire from the unit. Would look better, and would be safer than having a long cable hanging around that could get cut. Interested to see what you come up with next.
This type of table is what i need for a Desk in my home office, so excited for this.
Outstanding job, and way to not get flustered. Back up and redesign. Have a great day!
Maybe not flustered, but I did get frustrated. : ) At least I was able to use everything in the end though. You have a good day as well!
Exactly what I was going to say, nothing wrong with changing the plan of attack.
+David Clauson I would have just cut to a pic of the busted up legs in my burn barrel lol
Supper stuff my Dear. I have been following your wood making skills & I take my hat off to you. I wish I can be skillful as you when it come to wood stuff. I am all with electrical and a prtotype stuff. I will be adding a one of those table to my new shed. Thanks for posting all the stuff.
Very neat April. Glad to see you could still use the one you took apart. Great video!!
: ) Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
April Wilkerson You're wecome. I really enjoy your videos. Don't let it get to be a lot of work and stress though. Take time off here and there if you can.
I like that the first solution was not perfekt, you remade into a funcional solution! thumbs up ;-)
Hi April - another great project that I think may scratch an itch in my shop. I think that you are the queen of pocket screws! I have a small Kreg single-holer and I'm thinking of upgrading, but man - it's hard to keep everything square for drilling!
Very cool! Hmmm..... have to check out the T track top from Rockler!
I was looking for your other folding table video, and up popped this one. I can use either of these "benches" where I need it.
Great stuff April! Thanks 👍!
simple, practical explanation and professional work
Love your ingenuity and skill.
A means of keeping the legs from being 'kicked' in might be high strength magnets. They can easily be set below the surface of the legs and washers put on the table for them to hold against. Might solve the problem, leave little visible and be quite cheap.
The leg brackets on the Rockler table lock in both the up and down position so they are good to go. Then the other style feel like they are alright as well. However, magnets would be another great solution!
WoW!! Great!! I wish I had the room for a table. But, I do like watching your video's. You make it look so easy. You are very talent. Thanks for all the great ideas.
My house is little small. I am planning to make one like this as dining table. Thank you so much for sharing 👍👍
Nice recovery. My table saw's outfeed table is made the way you did that work surface,though I didn't know table-leg hinges even existed.
Cool video. I love foldable stuff and you now have many foldable table designs.
For that A/C unit just add an additional outlet higher up. Looks like your wall covering is easy to remove for access.
( Or just a surface mounted outlet powered with some 12-2 wire and a plug on the end so you can plug that into that other outlet )
She is such a babydoll
That idea would work in our laundry room for a folding table. Thanks for the idea.
Excellent use of Your one table turning into three folding Tables!
I'm actually going to try to build a fold down lawn mower table for my shop, so I don't have to work on them on the floor, We shall see how it goes! Thanks for the hints!
: ) Maybe if you are having to work on your mower so much you should instead buy a different mower?
Well, one nice thing is I do not have to work on my mowers at all except for the restorations, I work on them for other people, service and repair. I would defantly agree with you that if I had to keep working on mine I should buy a new one! ;p
Ooh I gotcha. ; )
You probably already figured this out. I suggest: For the air conditioner power cable fix, you could remove the wall panel from beneath the unit and wire in a single or double duplex outlet installed high up on the wall, wired in to the lower wall outlet. I think it will be easier and less expensive than surface mounted metal conduit.
Awesome idea.
I think I will use it, because I have little space and your table takes up little
.
I love watching your videos. I learn something almost every time.
Wonderful, you go Girl. Just what I been looking for but a little more narrower for the table. Thank you and God Bless...
How to turn failure into success 101 by April Wilkerson. Nicely done.
; ) haha thanks
Just noticed the Mavs shirt! Awesome!! I hope to put one or two of these fold down tables in my small shop.
Get a appliance cord of 12 gauge 3 wire. It will show 12/3 label. You want 12 gauge as you need that size copper to carry the power required for the air conditioner without overheating the cord. I do like your solutions to the opportunities that arise.
great video i was wondering if instead of metal bracket folding mechanism can you use bolt screw as you did on the folding table up direction ...
I realize this s an older video but want to say thanks for the inspiration, just completed one drop down and 2 fold ups.
The T-track system from Rockler is a great set-up.
Plug mold. They make a metallic channel that you can screw to the wall that you can run your cord under. Tatamount to conduit and a lot less bulky. check them out they make a variety of things and can be found and any electrical distributor such as Graybar, McNaugaton & Mckay, or All Phase just to name a few.
Nice video! I enjoyed seeing how your design progressed as you worked through the project! Keep up the good work!
