Hey there, I'm April Wilkerson. I'm the creator of Wilker Do's. I make stuff that I want instead of buying it or hiring it out. I hope you are able to find a project here that inspires you to pick up a tool you didn't think you could use and build something you didn't think you could build. I have got DIY plans for anything you want to do around your home or shop, from home..

This all started because I wanted to be able to hit golf balls off my off my porch. I thought I’d build a tee box. That turned into if I’m gonna go through the effort I might as well extend it out some that way I have room for a grill and a nice table and chairs for entertaining. That turned into “I should add a little bit more so I can put in a pool. As you can tell it very quickly snowballed.

In this video I’ll be building this outdoor storage bench. It’s at a nice comfortable sitting height but he lid is on a hinge so that I can stow away the cushions when they are not in use. This is a quick one day project so if you are needing a storage trunk for something then know I have not only a CNC cut file for this one but also step by step plans that come with a material list and a cut list. Let me show you how it all goes together.

In this video I’m going to show you how I built this shelf. It might look simple, but it was actually full of little tricky things to figure out. But! It was worth it, as I had this very generic store bought shelf in my home before, and was finally able to replace it with something I’ve made instead.

Let’s Build a Rotating Shelf

Step 1: Prepare the wood by pre-drilling
A tip for you: this part will end up being on about this long but I left it longer to make it easier to hold onto while drilling for the holes.
Step 2: Putting a threaded insert into the left and right parts of the shelf
Step 3: Creating the sliding piece for the top of the rotating shelf
Step 4: Making the top and attaching it to the base
Step 5: Hanging the rotating shelf!

In this video, I’m going to show you how I built this stylish dog house. But! It’s isn’t just a dog house. All throughout this project are products made by 3M that don’t only consider what a builder needs, but also what the environment needs.
The shingles, windows, solar panel, and the insulation were all designed by 3M to help create solutions for the most pressing climate challenges that impact people’s lives. I’m utilizing these materials on a doghouse to show you where technology is advancing to, but imagine if every new construction site were also using them and we started making our bu ..read more

Trying to figure out how to build your own DIY wood countertops that are inexpensive? Check out this project where I used 2x4s to build my own!
This week I am building some simple countertops for my laundry room!
Earlier this year I demo’d a shop building. And in that process, I ended up with a ton of scrap material that I de-nailed and threw into a pile. You can definitely do this project with any material, but I’m going with 2×4’s and 2×6’s since I have an abundance of them.
Check out the video above to see how I built them!
