April Wilkerson is an American YouTuber who specializes in Do-it-yourself woodworking and metalworking projects around the home.[1][2][3][4][5]
Career[edit]
Wilkerson graduated from college in 2012, after studying business management, and began working on projects to improve her house.[6] She and her husband had a long to-do list of home improvement projects.[7] She posted a blog, which led to her creating YouTube videos in which she described her process of figuring out how to build things such as a planter, a light above a pool table, an outdoor pressurized air line between shops, a porch, a coffee table, an outdoor shower, a holiday decoration made from an old whiskey barrel, various art projects, and so forth.[6][8][9] She doesn't describe herself as an "expert" but rather as a newcomer and teacher eager to share her newly acquired knowledge as she works on new projects.[6] Generally her projects involve woodworking, but she has done metalworking and welding as well.[6][2] Many of her projects use scrap lumber; she buys new tools when she needs them, and some sponsors of her YouTube channel have sent her tools and equipment for promotional purposes.[6] As of February 2019, her YouTube channel has over 900,000 followers.[10] Wilkerson completes many of her pieces in her 3000 square foot workshop.[11]
