April Wilkerson (born 1987) is an American YouTuber who specializes in do-it-yourself woodworking and metalworking projects around the home.[1][2][3][4][5]
Career
Wilkerson is from Texas.[6] She graduated from University of Texas at Arlington in 2012,[7] after studying business management, and began working on projects to improve her house.[8] Wilkerson had a long to-do list of home improvement projects.[9] 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.[8][10][11] 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.[8] Generally her projects involve woodworking, but she has done metalworking and welding as well.[8][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.[8] As of December 2020, her YouTube channel has over 1.3 million subscribers.[12] Wilkerson completes many of her pieces in her 3000 square foot workshop.[13]
With Tim Allen and Richard Karn, Wilkerson co-hosts several TV series that are spiritual spin-offs of Home Improvement sitcom's show-within-a-show Tool Time.[14] In 2021, she so costarred on Assembly Required, a series that premiered on History in February 2021. On each episode, three do-it-yourself experts undertake two rounds of building challenges, with a $5,000 prize at stake. Prior to the second round, she secretly sabotages a key item in the kits sent to the contestants, requiring them to diagnose and repair the problem in order to complete their builds.[15][16] In 2022, she so costarred on More Power, a series that premiered on History in June 2022. On each episode, the three DIY experts cover the history of a tool.[14]
In 2022 the creators of This Old House were creating a series called This Old House Makers Channel, to be aired on Roku, and Wilkerson is slotted to be one of their so-called 'Featured Makers'.[17]
