If you want email me & I'll walk you thru Etsy selling if your not familiar with it already.Best of luck girl. ~~Dolly CrossGrainWoodProducts,Ltd
April, I've never commented on youtube before, but, I just wanted to wish you every success in your new adventure. I live in Ireland and am currently working in Russia. Coincidently, I'm also finishing my working career in 3 weeks time and retiring. One of the plans I have is to make a small workshop in my home garage and start doing some little projects. I found your channel a few months ago and your posts have played no small part in sparking this interest in me. Thank you for your lovely relaxed and imaginative posts. They're a delight.
So, one of the things I enjoy most about watching vids is the enjoyment you get out of making things. Sure, the things you make area useful, decorative, well-designed and so on, but your joy makes me see some of those projects being put on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
Huge congrats! How awesome!! I had no idea that RUclips paid that well. Congrats to you and your husband, this is such an exciting thing to be able to do! I wish I could find a niche out there to make a living at like this. Though, its more than just being able to make things, its the personality as well which makes people want to watch the vid's as well as the story. Your channel has it all. Congrats!
Awesome I can't wait to see what's coming down the pipe. I enjoy your videos and have taken a few of your ideas for my home I will be looking for more inspiration from you.
I have just come across this vlog now and have been following you since you built your garden fence at your last house. It took you a while to find your passion. I fell in to mine back in 1991 and have never looked back, I have been in the gardening and handyman since then. I can't believe how far you have gone in 5 years and keep entertaining all you subscribers and have shared some of your vlogs to friends and family to give them ideas on projects that they are working on.
Congratulations. Nothing like loving what you do for a living. Keep up that great passion you show in your works. I'm very happy for you and am looking forward to your future endeavors.
Having watched your videos pretty much from the start, it has been great to see your confidence and skill grow, and to see your happiness and enthusiasm for now being able to pursue your hobby full-time. You have gained subscribers not only because you work cleverly and efficiently, but because you have a natural flair for design and colour so that whatever you make looks good on completion. Your bubbly personality is no handicap either! May I add my congratulations to the growing list of messages, with the wish that you can go on to make an even greater success of your venture than you have achieved so far.
May good fortune and continue to be with you! You have an awesome community to help make your life-changing decision stay as positive as you are. Bravo!!
Man I imagine. As I'm sitting here planning out my new schedule, I'm thinking, even with 10 additional hours, how am I going to fit it all in! haha. At least I'll be loving all of it.
Yaaayyy way to go. Very proud for you. Got me wanting to get up and dance, congrats, good luck and I am sure you will be a success. It's in your eyes ya know.
To find where your channel first started is Amazing! I have been a fan of your channel for about a year now since first finding it! Keep up your great work always enjoyable to see your projects thanks
You go girl!! It takes a lot of guts and self-confidence to ditch the traditional world and branch off into your own thing. You SHOULD be excited. I'm excited for you. Remember this feeling when the days get long and tedious, as this is the main reason to go it alone. You'll never feel this good working for someone else. Way to go, you're living the life we all want to...
Wow, that's a tough decision to make given todays economy giving up a pay check every week, BUT! After watching your videos and seeing the projects you complete I have a good feeling about this. You have a great personality (and your cute as a button). Your creative with a good eye for color and proportion. Keep your eye growth and getting better at the details. I'm getting long winded here. Last thing, when you do what you love , and you love what you do, its not work at all its fun. I wish you all the best in this endevor, I personally think you'll do great! Oh yeah! Now that you have extra time you can build that outfeed table. Heh wishing the best for ya kid.
: ) haha, you and that outfeed table. But! You're right, it is on the list and maybe now I'll be able to get to it quicker. Thank you Bill, I really appreciate your continuous support. I agree that doing what a person loves isn't work, I have been looking forward to feeling that every day.
WOW, HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!! What a feeling that must be, congratulations April. You do great work with limited time so I'll be interested to see where you take this from here.
Congratulations! Taking this step in your dream is surely a big one I wish for you the very best. I so look forward too your sharing of those dreams in your future posts.
This popped up on my feed today!!! Didn't realise that it had been over 5 years since you went full time into doing this. Just watched your 2nd deck build video. It looks amazing and so well constructed too. Really glad that you are doing what you love and have having loads of fun too!! It has been an honour watching you grow over the years into such an amazing builder, joiner, carpenter, maker, designer etc. 10/10 April!! keep up the good work!!!! My passion is BBQ & Smoking. I would love to do that full time but am very nervous about doing that at the moment. May get a small food stand for 1 day a week and see how it goes from there. If it goes well, then I could follow your lead and do what I love doing too!! You are an inspiration to everyone!!
Congrats April on your starting your new job. I'm very happy for you. I can't wait to see what new projects and plans that you come up with. Here's to a new and better 2015 for you. Good luck. Thanks for sharing Roy
April Wilkerson From France I say : great news ! good for you, And good for us too, as this means I'll have even more top-notch videos to show to my daughter (she's only 3yr-old but already into DIY stuff) to further demonstrate how natural it is for girls and women to kickass ! THANKS for making the jump and having the courage to explore your own style to our benefit ! and keep on trucking...

I don’t remember his name, but your husband is a good man to support you as you took the leap into this fantastic world. Hard to believe just how far you’ve come. Looking forward to many years watching and supporting you If I ever get to Texas, your shop is on my must see list

congratulations, I and so many others are very happy for you. Doing what you love to due is a plus, I know exactly how you feel, I wish I were a lot younger because I would definitely pursue working with wood for a living. Now I'm retired and I can build things for my own house. Moving into a new house June 1st, I thank God I can do what I love. God Bless, and keep the videos coming.
Congrats! You are fantastic and will do it big time, I just think that even 10 extra hrs will not be enough... Whish you the best on this new journey and most important....have lost of fun! God bless you!
