Welcome to the official April Wilkerson UA-cam 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. - Навчання та стиль
I think that would be a great idea for a hide-away kitchen island. Add a skirt to hide the castors, and put in a lock that raises the island off the castors to make it immobile. Kinda like the castors that lower a foot down when you lock them.
I enjoy seeing how other people build their workbenches. Sometimes I can incorporate their ideas into a future bench for myself. I especially like how your two workbenches nest inside each other. Awesome Idea April!!! Very Cool Build!!!
Thanks! I love how it turned out. Thanks for always watching.
Your videos almost always cover something I have planned, but this time you covered something I already made. I built all new kitchen cabinets, and did the toe kicks the old way. I wish I had heard of the platform method sooner, because the corner was not easy to level at all! I finally just put it there, and measured the distance it needed to be raised and hand cut shims. Then pulled it out, glued shims to subfloor and put the cabinets back. It worked, but it was very backbreaking.
Even after all these years you still have the laugh when something comes together. I love it. Thank you for sharing.👍
Yes! It never gets old when things turn out exactly how you wanted. Glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for staying along for the ride. :)
That's a really creative idea!!!! Great space saver and double duty project. Only drawback of removing the welding table is it also makes a great dead flat assembly table!
Slick as a whistle April. Great job with the two in one mobile shop table . Works great. Thanks for sharing. Fred
You got a thumbs up for "slick as a whistle". This world would be a better place if there were more people who said that.
Thank you very much!
Awesome as usual April! puts a smile on my face watching your videos. :)
@AprilWilkerson you my dear are wicked smart! Thanks for the lesson and tips. Love your victory laugh! You are inspirational!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
So glad I found your channel. Love this project, especially he tip for combining the use of wood glue and CA glue on the table top trim. Brilliant!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Very nice. I always admire your eye for efficiency both in the thing being built and the use of space. I have a small garage for my work space so I definitely appreciate figuring out new hacks to get more functionality into it.
Awesome! I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Sweet build!🎉
This is a great idea and a space saving useful project! It would be nice in anyone’s garage. The tips you always suggest are helpful in many ways. Thank you April for another nice project! Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 ❗️
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you.
This video came at a great time as I am working on organizing my garage space to be functional and versatile. I've been debating a nesting system myself and seeing it in motion solidified my theories. Thanks April!
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
What a great idea for a multi-function bench. I have a small 2 car garage down here in San Antonio. This would allow me to pull the table out when needed (without disturbing main table contents such as a vice or drill press) then replace when done in order to recapture valuable floor space. My only concern is the use of hollow door for top. I would prefer doubling up 3/4" plywood for added strength.
That's astonishing! Brilliant idea for small workshops!
Thank you very much! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Pretty slick work bench. I can always use more flat work surfaces and I LOVED the door install trick.
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
Hey April, very nice productive project. I'm very impress of your work on building the mobile shop table. Well done. 🙂👍
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for your advise
And you and your family must have a wonderful Christmas
We did thank you! Hope yours was great also. Thanks for watching.
Nice idea. Merry Christmas, April.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas to you too!
My favorite tyupe of videos! Thank you for the ideas!
Excellent design. I may have to consider that setup for my own garage makeover. Nicely done!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
This is what called thinking out of the box !!
I’m just blown away by your creative genius in coming up with these easy to build solutions to maximize space. Tell me how do you do it?
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
April has some mad skills. I enjoy seeing her bring he ideas to life.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for watching.
What a great idea April, that's what I'm talking about!
I can always count on you delivering something cool and trick!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for watching.
My first "bench", in 1998, was a pocket door (hollow, no panel, no hole) on sawhorses, which allowed sharing the "shop" with two cars. I've since built more bench space, again using modified pocket doors for the tops, but I still have that original slab, converted into a rolling assembly table (covered with discarded tools, of course). What has impressed me through the years is how flat that surface remains. "Skinning" the top with hardboard is a good idea, but I'd use double sided tape to allow replacement. I have attach-able jigs (pocket hole jig, vise, etc) mounted on hardboard bases, which allow bolting the jig base onto the table, using embeds along the perimeter where the internal door framing allows good connections. Attaching anything in the middle of the table is difficult because there isn't much there there.
Great idea for the small workshop ❤❤
It really is! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Have a Merry Christmas🎄
and
a happy New Year🕛✨🍸🍸🎉
Thank you so much and the same to you!
Such an awesome idea!! Thank you!! Gonna build one for our shaved ice machine in the garage.
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Diese Schweißtische sind schon echt praktisch und exakt gerade. Ist ne Überlegung wert, sich sowas anzuschaffen.
Hey April, I took your idea of making a workbench out of an old door. I did it, works great. You can see it in my shop tour video. Thanks Jack

If you have watched my channel, sometimes things go wrong so yes, am always thrilled when it works perfectly! Especially the first time. Thanks for watching.
love your content though keep it up@@AprilWilkerson
Funny video. Ribs hurt from laughing so much. Thanks! Great idea yet again.
Nice!😃
Thanks!
Tada 🎉another great build!
Thank you!
What a great idea to keep the rolling table into the place when you are not using!! Are you going to paint to match the red and black metal cabinets?
Good morning, April! Yes, I know I'm commenting on a two week old video🙄! Just wanted to pop in and wish you and your family a very Happy, Healthy New Year!
May you continue to be blessed with great success and prosperity in the new year and beyond. Again, 🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR🎆! God bless.
Thank you so much! Same to you and thanks for watching.

Excelente, parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho. Marcos Brasil.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. From Texas.
Great Video Thank you. The closed captioning is hilarious sometimes...like when use the "holler" core door.
How does she come up with this stuff? April is brilliant!
Nah, I just build what I want and need, bringing a camera along. Thanks for watching.
The only thing I might change would be to shorten the cabinet and have a drawer about 3 inches deep. Great place for layout and marking tools.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching.
Excellent build. Is there a way you could add some extendable/extractable feet that will let you make the moveable work table level with your workbench?
This is similar to what i did for my 3d printer/work desk in my bedroom.
Its a desk surface inside my sliding door wardrobe (so i can all be hidden away), the 3d printer stays ontop, only taoes up about half the area, and that desk also has a drawer pull out desk below it with about 6cm if space for leaving work on it, and a power strip on it with usb power so i can do soldering and other stuff. With drawers for all my filament and tools below it.
Just pull out the drawer deskp, do some projects, slide it close, slide over the wardrobe doors and you dont even know its there.
Only problem is the other half of the room is full of stuff and the room looks like a mess until i can finish building the compuer desk half of the loft bed and desk combo.
Fitting things underneath other things and making better use of space is so cool 😎
I bought your plans and about half way done. Couple points from your plans. Your cut sheet doesn’t over size the hardboard even though your instructions call it out. So if like me if you follow cut sheet you are too late. Also the picture shows building outer cabinet with bottom between two outer walls if you do that the pedestals based end up too small by 1/2 inch. Again didn’t find out until too late so it bugs me but going to live with pedestals too small but worry now is the outer pedestals now going to be short by 3/4 if that was intent and picture was wrong. Anyway maybe double check plans for this inconsistency. Otherwise think it’s a cool design and fingers crossed it all fits when done
wow things have changed i remember you when you just got started with barley any tools!
Yes, my first tools were bought 2nd hand from yard sales and pawn shops, buying only the tool I needed, then saved for the next tool. Thanks for staying along for the ride.
April how about a mechanics pit?❤
👍
Hey there I really love your channel but I'm not sure if UA-cam is I can't give you a thumbs up or thumbs down it doesn't allow me to do it let's do it on certain channels not all so you guys might want to look at that just in case I thought I'd let you know again love the channel keep it up have a happy holidays
What software are you using to design your cabinets and export your gcode to the CNC? We use a program that creates pilot holes for everything and even blind dados for easy assembly.
Hey Mrs.GoodWood!!! Ok so I got swept away in the rapids of the River. I don’t know what else to say now. Well I’m trying to become a bus operator for the CTA, just saw a segment of you doing steps in Chicago on Amazon Prime. I would have dropped in on you if I knew you were here!!! Anyway, I’m not sure if I’ll be successful in landing the CTA gig SO, remembering that I told you I’d get to your shop if you were willing to train me for working there. I want to make good on that if the CTA thing doesn’t work out, though I’m going to do my best to make it happen. Not sure how anything I say will be received but so please forgive me if I’ve caused offense. I’m still in awe of the way you do you!!! So all I ask is that you keep the possibility of helping me work with/for you, ok? Thank you, got to go now, Riv’s calling me
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
On the roll around cabinet, wouldn't it be stronger with the sides sitting on top of the base, and the top sitting on top of the sides? As it is, the screws are carrying all the load.
Guess Titebond didn't sponsor this one. Tape on the glue bottles. Makes perfect sense to me, woman needs to be paid.
