April I believe someone is trying to steal or hoodwink your followers!!!! I’ve been getting texts saying you have a surprise for me. I know that ain’t tight so iI muted the conversation! Just thought I’d let you know!!!
Pete Parisi is a genius. His Legos sorters and French cleat panels are next level. So glad you guys are getting involved in getting this out to the masses.
This was amazing. I remember watching your channel when you first began as a maker. You have gone leaps and bounds beyond that now, while still being able to stay with your roots of making custom made products for yourself and family.
Very interesting, April! I've been watching you for years and it's nice to see how well your shop and business have grown! I love seeing all that you do! ❤
It still amazes me how far you've come since working out of your garage. I am proud of you and can't wait to see how far you go. Just don't forget to have fun sometimes I know it's lots of work. When you start to get old like me it makes a difference but you have about 30 years or more to go. A real Texan. Thank you.👍♥️♥️
Wow, you’ve come a long way. I remember when you were trying to figure out which end of a screwdriver to use. I used you as an example of what my daughters could do when they grow up… maybe too well. Now they can’t seem to find guys that are not intimidated by what they can do on their own. Definitely “Girl Power” at work. Thank you.
You’ve come such a long way! From doing doughnuts in your front yard, on your partner’s quad-bike to running a huge enterprise. You are a source of inspiration to many.
Oh damn, I've just checked and I'm pretty sure I've been watching your videos for about 6 years... how did I not understand at all that the wood shed had become such a large business? Not surprising, you always do great work. I'm glad there's so many people who get to have you as a boss
Good morning, April! Wow! You never fail to deliver and this video is no exception. Your shop has exploded in size and production and just as a viewer, I couldn't be happier for you. Watching your videos from your humble start to now, is nothing less than a thrill ride you let us enjoy. Thank so much for sharing. Here's to MANY more years of growth and success! God bless.
My Wife and I stopped in to see you, we missed meeting you but got to take a little tour of the place. it was really cool to see in person. Before we left I purchased one of your fraction to decimal charts. It pretty much sat around unused for a year. I recently picked up an Axiom CnC. I can not tell you how much that chart has come in handy now that am in the software programing my CNC. So much that I moved it to where I keep the laptop because I got tired of having to get up out of my chair to go look at it. Super awesome.
Great! Yes, I don't spend much time at the commercial building but am in my own shop doing my own projects and staying out of the production shop's way. :) Thanks for watching.
I am amazed at how much your business has grown in such a short time. Congratulations not only to you but for your staff. You appear to be blessed with talented and dedicated people. It was a great tour of the shop. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
A video talking about how you grew your business from the old shed to the new wood shed, and where you find customers for production work would be great!
Agree. I would like to hear more about Jacob’s continuous improvements, how are they verifying quality against standards and what do they do when they find quality problems.
April, You have blossomed into a Spectacular women. You diffantly have the touch of Gold. I have been a subscriber from the first videos from your home garage., and you definitely have come a long way. I knew back then you were going to be big. A bit of hard work and great ideas. You inspire me to follow my own ideas. Congratulations
April, your shop, your organization and your employees never fail to impress. My wife and I enjoy your videos so very much! We have made our workbench and plywood stroage rack by buying and altering your plans to suit us. (Thank you!!!) I might include video or our garage workshop someday and I'll be sure to credit you. God bless, April. You are quite the creative talent!
I have watched most of your videos and this is one of my most favorite, other than the shop build. A separate more detailed video of Jacob's jigs would be nice. But any video's of this shop in action would be enjoyable.
Well will you look at you now! It wasn’t long ago I found your channel when you were in a garage. I recall telling wife about a young lady who did woodworking like I do. Then ordered your plans for folding Adirondack chairs and I made two of em. I will be modifying the arms so thy can hold drinks too. Then you built this ginormous shop and I remember thinking, April, how in the world will you fill it? So look at you now. Wow amazing what you have accomplished.
I absolutely love your channel April I've been with you from the start when only a few words were said now what a difference, so happy for the growth and the expanse of the channel.
Love the manufacturing aspect to this video. Makes me happy to know you're enjoying the process of custom manufacturing. Been in it all of my career. Making something from nothing, literally, is so exciting and rewarding. Also love you giving your team respect and admiration for their excellent work and ingenuity. You're as good a boss as you are a person and creator. Keep it going and most of all, have fun!
I am so proud of you and your success. Yes, DEEPER dives! I have a service oriented business so watching a manufacturing business and how systems are designed and implemented is fascinating. Best of luck!
It's amazing how much your business has grown, awesome job April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Seems like you've got a fabulous team and Jig Master, great job everyone! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
It’s very interesting and fun to see what’s going on inside The Wood Shed recently. I can tell from your voice that you’re very proud of this business April! 😃👏
Loveall your videos , but especially would like to see more of the wood shed shop and some sawmilling with your Cremona style mill. Have watched your videos from the beginning and it is a inspiration to see how far you have come with hard work and dedication
@@AprilWilkerson ….Glad you gave us an update on the Shop! I remember the videos when you purchased the building and set up shop! You have certainly progressed!
This entire video is something I want to do. Have a CNC, have work for that CNC to do, make things more and more efficient. That is heaven to me. But, like you, I want to own the shop. Wood or metal doesn't really matter to me. I just like the idea of manufacturing something here in America.
The new shop looked awesome and :potent" when we saw it the fort time- now, full of ongoing projects and busy people, it is truly awesome! My mom, who was a "hobby carpenter" would have absolutely loved it! As well she would have been proud of you April; my mom had to fight through an era in Texas when they had banking laws that "strongly discouraged" women seeking to start or operate their own businesses- watching you go today, would have made it all worthwhile to her! FR
Wow, that wood working shop has gone from not a lot to well and truly organised, keep going it looks great to me. Also I see that you have a great team working for/with you.
This is so cool. CNCs are a manufacturing game changer as are 3D printers. You make great use of a smaller space. It seems a lot bigger than it is. By the way, 8020 aluminum framing is a great method for workstations, shelving, and guards. You may want to look in them. I am a 8020 specialist/ designer for SunSource
Impressive! Good to see you kicking some butt, April! I finally got my Laguna Swift btw, and I'm really enjoying it. Keep up the great work! Gorgeous shop, by the way! Be safe!!
Hi, i have been a subscriber for a very long time, maybe almost as long as you been on youtube or since you had your little workshop in the garage, i am very happy for you that you are able to do what you love and that you built your own big workshop some years ago.. keep it up.. :D
With CNC's being more welcomed in the average shop, I think you could have an audience for the jigs Jacob and team has created. I know you sparked some ideas for myself. Awesome video and congratulations on all your success.
Very cool. A friend of mine and I have a few products we've developed. We're using my 24" x 24" CNC. It's working, but if the products take off, we're looking at something like an AVID or the Shop Sabre. Not quite the same price range, but both seem to be good machines.
April, I've been watching you since your garage days!! Are you going to do an update on the sawmill you built with Matt Cremona outside your shop? Would be so neat to see how far you've progressed with sawing your own wood!!
April bonita noche desde donde estoy viendo tu video no entiendo mucho el inglés pero te sigo en todos tus proyectos realizados 👍😘👸🙅 abrazo fuerte hasta EEUU Arizona
Always love your videos. Question: At about the 3:30 mark, you show the spoil board removed and a jig but on the front zone located by the pins. I'm curious why he had to put down sheets of polystyrene on the other zones...is this quick or more efficient than closing the vacuum valves for the other zones? Thanks.
Wow! I remember watching your video when you bought the place, and now it's one heck of a very impressive operation April! That's motivating and thanks for the shop tour! :)
God Bless Amer...... no - April Wilkerson. You have done a lot in your life. I really hope that you will continue to surprise us. Sincerely from Russia.
Shop looks great! I was wondering though; how often do you have to empty those dust collectors? Most shops your size usually have a dedicated outdoor airlock-type system.
Amazing place! I have been teaching in the San Antonio area for quite some time and I have been sharing your videos with my RUclips/Instagram/ Small screen addicted high school students for at least the last seven years. I love being able to show them that anything is possible for someone that chooses to show up every day, solve problems and work hard! Thanks for being a great example for my students. By the way, I recently moved to a high school near you, need any student summer or part time interns?

When she mentioned French cleats in this video I immediately thought of you 😂
Thank you Chris for the kind words!! Feel the same way about you Chris! 😀👍
I couldn’t agree more.
My goodness. I sit back and am amazed at how far you've gone over the years. From working in your garage to this. Incredible and inspiring! Well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was amazing. I remember watching your channel when you first began as a maker. You have gone leaps and bounds beyond that now, while still being able to stay with your roots of making custom made products for yourself and family.

Thank you April for helping us make great products! Really appreciate you showing the clips of our Lego sorter products also 😀👍
You are so welcome! It's a great product and we are proud to work with you.
You definitely found a gem of an employee that continues to innovate and make your shop better.
Absolutely but all my Employees are exceptional and valuable. Thanks for watching.

You must wake up some mornings and be amazed at how far you have come. All your hard work has paid off
It certainly has been a lot of hard work. People have no idea. My day doesn't end at 5, that's for sure. :)Thanks for watching.
Your a great advocate for all RUclipsrs. 👍👍👍👍
A video talking about how you grew your business from the old shed to the new wood shed, and where you find customers for production work would be great!
Been following you almost since the beginning, you sure have come a long way. I am so happy for you.
Awesome! Thanks for staying along for the ride.
I think a whole video on Jacob is in order! Like his waist pack and edc. Sounds like he is a smart craftsman.
Agree. I would like to hear more about Jacob’s continuous improvements, how are they verifying quality against standards and what do they do when they find quality problems.
This right here ^^^
Jacob seems like he knows a thing or two
Actually it would be cool to have a little interview with all your employees
Jacob is such a husband. 🥰
@@anitahusband Actually he is an Employee, not my husband. :)

If not already done, seal the sides of your CNC spoil board with epoxy or similar to increase suction.
Great shop, you must be very proud of the shop and team of people working there
I am! I have a great Team and they are like family to me. Thanks for watching.
Jacob needs his own RUclips channel - JigCentral
Just started watching your channel. You are an inspiration to all of us!
Awesome! Thank you!
I like your videos, the one you first did on your CNCs was instrumental to me. I just recently received my Shopsabre. Thanks April.
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thank you for watching.
Vantastic !! very inspiring . you all really have it together
She has a great little company going there she seems to be pretty good to the employees I think she's going to go into a big company
The efficiency in your shop is amazing!
I think so too! I love things organized, things just run smoother if you're not having to search for something. Thanks for watching.
Quite impressive. Whenever I drive by The Wood Shed in Hancock, I think of you. You're quite an inspiration!
Aw thanks! And thanks for watching. :)
I love organization and productivty - fascinating!
Thanks!
April, todo un arte en la producción con mucha tecnología, muchas felicidades y bendiciones en todos tus proyectos realizados 👍🙅
Thank you so much!
Very impressive, lady. You are a go getter!
Thank you so much!
Very impressive! The shipping option is super cool!
That shop setup is making me drool. Amazing!
Wow you filled it up!!!!!! Good for you!!!! ❤❤❤
Have you tried making a sailing dinghy or cloth-skinned biplane with the cnc tools? That seems like it would be a fun multipart series!
Impressive growth April, congrats!
Thank you!

April, you are magical as always
Very cool. A friend of mine and I have a few products we've developed. We're using my 24" x 24" CNC. It's working, but if the products take off, we're looking at something like an AVID or the Shop Sabre. Not quite the same price range, but both seem to be good machines.
Very nice tour
Thanks for visiting! Glad you enjoyed it.
You have an amazing shop and an awesome team. Love watching your videos and seeing your company grow. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! I remember when you worked out of your garage.
Yep! It's been a crazy ride to be sure. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for the tour
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi April...I'm still using the woodshed glass I purchased a good while back now. Loved the shop tour! 👌
Awesome! Thank you!
You need an episode where we can meet your crew. How many, and fo they have a specific job. That kind of thing.
April, I've been watching you since your garage days!! Are you going to do an update on the sawmill you built with Matt Cremona outside your shop? Would be so neat to see how far you've progressed with sawing your own wood!!
Nice ideas all the best april
Such an impressive shop. Loved the tour!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Very nice! This is my first time to see this kind of production going on. 👍🏻👍🏻
