Welcome to the official April Wilkerson KZbin channel. I’m April and I’m the creator of Wilker Do’s. I'm not professional or have any training, so I just pick the project I want to tackle and figure it out step by step. On this channel you will find a variety of content like DIY home improvement, How-To’s, construction and more.

I like it! Thanks for showing bloopers at the end. That shows us that you have frustrations in your builds, even though we don’t usually know. Also, it makes you seem more down to earth, and therefore approachable in public.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes, I certainly make mistakes as we all do. Thanks for watching.

[@katsprojects]

Oh my goodness am I so very thankful for your recommendation of the new modeling software! I have been building projects for more than 15 years. Always stuff straight from my head to the shop, which of course was complicated and so very time consuming as I never had an actual plan on paper. I tried Sketch Up several times and for whatever reason it just wasn't working for me. This new one, however...game changer. The moment I watched the video and saw your suggestion for the Make By Me software I was hooked. Jumped right on it, easy as can be and modeled a firewood rack I've been wanting to build for years. The breakdown of materials needed and cut list is going to absolutely change my building life. I can't thank you enough April. Love it! And of course love all the things you build ❤

[@Karateka1]

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks so much!

[@MarshallLoveday]

LOVE this design, April! I'll be revisiting this next spring possibly, when I get back to working on the deck. I'd probably modify it into a more rectangular layout though.

[@AprilWilkerson]

thank you! A rectangular layout sounds great!

[@331SVTCobra]

The magnet idea is great. Not sure I'd build fire furniture out of wood though. For youtubers, research whether propane leaves soot on fireglass.... I believe fireglass works best with natural gas. I have fire stones instead of glass, the soot is significant. Also, a glass fence around the fire makes it pop. April, thanks for the video, the result looks great.

[@haunthunterify]

If you are getting soot on glass with your propane then you need to research and add an air mixer. Problem solved.

[@mata_matafuka]

At 7:24, I did a search for "construction magnets with hole" but you might want to leave a link to the magnets you used in the description. Love the video.

[@DavZell]

I think it would have made sense to to put a platform inside for the tank. With wheels, I can see this shifting around and banging into the tank, especially by guests who might want to just move it a little closer, move it aside as some passes, etc. Also, as the design stands, when you do want to move, you have to go under and disconnect the tank, move, move tank, and reconnect. One other thought was that the inner frame seems like it would benefit from some upright members, rather than relying on just the plywood.

[@chicagorandy]

Very nice build - thanks for sharing. One question, for climates subject to a lot of rain and snow, should the interior bare lumber be seal-coated/weather proofed?

[@polorodriguez9417]

Awesome Fire Table April! However, I will probably wait until next spring to build one. I'm very busy in the fall harvesting soybeans and corn on my farm. I'm glad you included links for the Fire Pan Kit and Horizontal Propane Tank, since I will need those when I build one. What are the over all dimensions for both of your Fire Table Plans? I might have missed it but I don't think you mentioned it in this video, and I don't see the dimensions on your website plan's either. Great Video! Enjoy your fall evenings relaxing by a peaceful fire April!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you! I forgot to mention the dimensions. They're now on my website with the plans. The large fire table is 39.5"x39.5" and the small fire table is 30"x30". Hope this helps!

[@TheHandystanley]

Question. I saw that you have the SawStop Floating Overarm Dust Collection unit. It is understandable that you wouldn't use it while pushing lumber through while the operation is being videoed; however, there was a lot of sawdust on the table saw. So my question is, do you ever use it? Trying to decide on what overarm unit to get - if any at all. BTW, I am the one Laura Kampf asked to take a picture of you, her and Andy Birkey at the Bay Area Makers Faire. Thanks.

As always April great build ! I think you are amazing .... have you thought of making a murphy bed? I'm kind of in the middle of mine and I'm utilizing a hoist that I saw on one of my other favorite channels. Actually there's a few plans and ideas I've been tossing around, but I finally got stumped as I need a man to help me lift this thing. Anyway it's been an interesting ride along with you and your channel you truly are an inspiration and in a league of your own !!! good job !!!

[@AprilWilkerson]

I actually made a Murphy Bed previously, check out my channel. I hope you find it useful. Thanks for watching.

[@Silverbackra]

I didn't see any where in the plans regarding the placement of the switch.

I do love these DIY videos, but being from the UK, I am sat here wondering if every DIY American has a workshop the size of the average English home😂. Btw, that is such a brautiful finished product, so nice❤

[@AprilWilkerson]

No, many just work from a portion of their garage. If you want to make something, you get creative. Everyone's situation and locality is different. Thanks for watching.

[@annemchenry1936]

[@billburke8613]

Great build, Question on no heat shield. Does you wood get hot? I'm planning on putting one i a outdoor farm table. Just wanted to know how hot the wood gets.

Some were resting their feet on the wood and it was not hot. Thanks for watching.

Hi April - where do I find the plans for this? GORGEOUS!

[@deanwilliams93]

Hey! You are amazing btw! I already have a wooden table. I got the kit and just need to cut a rectangle into the table and drop it in. I see yours is wood as well. Is it safe to have wood? Thanks!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes, I address that in the video. it does not get hot in the surrounding wood. Thanks for watching.

[@christineowens5108]

What kind of pan did you use to hold the rocks and burner it doesn't come work the kit

[@YouTubeBinging]

Wow

[@majystm7415]

was that fire glass? Looked like normal aquarium glass? Im building a fire table, but getting fire glass is hard here, but i have 100 pounds of glass aquarium stones i use in other decorative projects id like to use, but i believe its not safe (unless i like exploding glass)

[@AprilWilkerson]

it's fire glass :) I went ahead and linked it in the video description. I got it off of amazon.

[@shannafaint1164]

Another great video, but I’ve got to ask a random question, where did u get ur awesome necklace from please as I’ve always wondered x

[@AprilWilkerson]

I had the necklace custom made as the ax is the first tool I learned to use. Thanks for watching.

[@benh554]

I've noticed this from multiple maker videos i watched, but why do you make multiple passes with the chop saw instead of just one swooping chop? I'm assuming it's something to do with the sliding action? My saw doesn't have the sliding feature, just a 12" compound miter saw

[@johncampbell4923]

Shallower passes will produce a smoother cut, no tear out, and less strain on the saw motor.

[@cabman86]

That is amazing! You don't happen to have a used table saw you want to sell cheap do you? Mine's motor flew all to pieces this week.

[@cabman86]

And replacement parts are obsolete on it.

[@Silverbackra]

I am having a real issue with the magnets in the doors it doesn't matter how many magnets or how strong they are the door just doesn't seem to stay are there any alternatives

[@billedis5482]

I am building this, however a bit confused. My burner controls has an "L" shaped plate, where yours is flat held with 4 screws! Am I missing something. Also in the plans the magnets do not go in the ends of the frame, but into some framing material that has to be added. Am I correct in this? Thanks, Bill

[@kevincannon8765]

Same questions. The door assembly in the video and in the plans isn’t the same, and doesn’t show enough detail.

[@daynabrown887]

Can you tell me how this held up?? I’m thinking of doing something similar but I’m nervous to make the table wood with the fire table

[@AprilWilkerson]

So far it works great! No problems at all. Thanks for watching.

[@kenmid]

Can you leave a link for those magnets?

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Great Idea. Quick question. Will the tank so close to the heat cause any issues?

[@johncampbell4923]

It wouldn't be any different than a gas grill. As always, use soapy water to make sure there's no leaks in the regulator connection.

[@michaellamarr4928]
