My wife watched your video over my shoulder and said "that's fun!" And I agree. You've come up with some mighty cool projects over the time I've been following you. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us. Cheers from the "frigid Midwest!"

[@brianbishop4753]

Ray I agree! Some of her projects will have copies in my shop soon. And yes the “frigid Midwest” is right, going to be a nice -10 tonight.

[@joonasfi]

Your wife is awesome for appreciating projects like these. Thumbs up!

[@fantomcircuitoctopus]

I really like how you show the final product while explaining each feature. I find it a lot easier to follow this way rather than trying to imagine what the finished project is supposed to look like.

[@theothermarshal]

Great to see you back in the shop April... I've been praying your recovery & healing is going well. This is a perfect project for me as I have a garage for a shop and mobility is a must. Your sliding tray design is a cool bonus. Thanks again for sharing!

[@SmallWorkshopGuy]

Another great workshop build, April. Some nice and very practical touches included and your plans are the best with color coding, etc. Guess that is why you won a Golden Chisel Award for 2018 (Best Woodworking Content Creators). Looking forward to following you for the rest of 2019 and beyond.

[@ModernBuilds]

Live this!! The table risers are genius!!!

[@luisdominik128]

Instablaster

[@illuminant1129]

That was most impressive. Especially the work supports on either side. I haven't seen that before. Top Marks !

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jeffmackdesigns]

That drill press would be a nice little addition to any shop!! I think I’m going to grab those plans to add that stand to our shop!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you like it Jeff. : )

[@briteness]

I built this! With the plans and this video, everything went smoothly. The stand is as good as I expected it to be. It is an excellent design. A lot of useful storage space, easy to move around, and very sturdy. Thank you!

[@namkumureronat1496]

the good designer; the good carpenter; Great Master = April Wilkerson

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

It's AWESOME to be able to enjoy another one of your Sunday Videos April! Also, a very handy stand for a drill press, or other shop tools. I'm thinking it would work well for my lunch box planer. Nice to have you back April!

[@arkansas1336]

I noticed that you're easily tackling larger more complex projects! You've come a long way since beginning KZbin. I'm proud of you, well done!

[@vtramell3196]

Another terrific project April with excellent details on the build. I do not understand why anyone would thumbs- down this or any other of her projects.

[@garynagle3093]

Great project. I love how you adjusted the plans to keep the adjustable part straight

[@highvoltagefeathers]

The craftsmanship and level of organization to the shop and surroundings is really inspiring, something to strive for. Thanks for sharing.

[@JuanCarlosAquila]

Exellet...congratulations !!.. Muy útil,,,práctico para hacer...y cómodo para mover.... Saludos desde Argentina !!...... Juan Carlos

[@raymonmikhael6779]

April, you rock, have been using your methods in all my DIY projects. thanks and all the best.

[@richardbedard1245]

I like the simplicity of you drill press stand. No special edge cuts, just glue and brad nails I can do this!!

[@kentshrader6616]

Truly enjoy ALL your videos and have learned so much. You've saved me money and time. You are the only site I know of which offers plans, list of material, etc. Thanks so much. PLEASE keep making your very educational videos!! They are fantastic!!

[@SADIYAKHAN24]

I loved the sliding trays! Great project April!

[@diyhuntress]

Killed it! 👊🏼 Makes me want to build a compact/mobile miter station with the same supports.

[@AmplifyDIY]

I love how creative you are with your storage options. I really need to build a few stations similar to this: one for my miter saw, one for my belt sander, one for the planer, etc. I'm definitely going to steal some of your ideas for storage in them when I do. Nice work!

[@amacca995]

Love your videos April. Thankyou for taking the time to upload.

[@qfdforme]

April, you have really gotten good at these project videos. Well done!

[@ronin478]

Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best for 2019!! Nice to see you back, your videos are very helpful, and positive! Thank you for having a You Tube Page.

[@rodpotts2666]

You Rock!! Love watching you work your very easy to follow and understand . The shop is looking great by the way. Thanks for the content.

[@svenmachleb3575]

I do not know what I love more, your voice or your work :-) great woman

[@ydecker50]

Well done April...love the functionality and its a beautiful design!

[@AImoney11]

beautiful!! your focus,calm and grace in motion are impressive.quality,SKILL! WOW

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Nicely done. I like the fact that you see ahead enough to plan ahead for tool usage. I would like to see more videos on how you modify or enhance normal tools into your own April tools. That is where the true magic happens!

[@billyevichjr172]

Thank you you are so talented and inspiring to others to expand our range and try things that might normally be out of our comfort zone. But you explain things so well and show us all the steps, when your batteries don't die lol. Keep up the great work and thanks again!!!

[@ronalddean4834]

Hi April I really enjoy your videos. You have put simple back in your projects. I've watched other folks videos and shows and as nice as they appear they made a science out of something that's supposed to be simple. I'll be watching I love your shop. Looking forward to the next project.

[@johnm4556]

Milwaukee all the way! I'm a plumber and HVAC tech and that's all i use! Love there cordless tools!

[@efenili]

Boy do I love drawer organizers :) I'm on the side that drawers are places where things go to die BUT if you're creative enough they do have a place! Great build

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done April! 😃 The stand is came out great and is super functional! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@RonConsumer]

That's the coolest stand I've seen... well I know what I will be doing this next weekend... Great build April... thanks for the build... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@harrykline3998]

Well done, thanks for sharing April. Love your videos, they always inspire!

[@Remodelaholic]

Such a great idea for the bit sliding tray! I have been looking for ways to organize bits and nails and you just gave me some good ideas!

[@jmakes3745]

Great video as always April, really clever idea with the adjustable wings - I can imagine it being really really useful for drilling into big panels or doors!

[@wendoureemensshed9535]

Once again April, another great project keep it up and love watching them

[@KY_kiwi]

this is freaking genius! Awesome work as usual April!

[@jeremymcclanahan2389]

Just came across this channel...love it and subscribed....always great to hear a story of someone being able to chase their dreams and stop working for the man.

[@johntotten4872]

April "the Wood Goddess" Wilkerson. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Also thanks for having Anne on your channel as I enjoy her videos also.

[@kayghar]

Love the faster pace of the video! May 2019 be speedy and efficient af for you. 👍

[@eln74]

Awesome build April, tnx for sharing it....!!!

[@bonniehollingsworth1996]

The plywood you use is beautiful! It is so great to see you use it instead of OSB. The two products are just not interchangeable even though some makers try to use OSB for everything. Plywood has tensile strength as well as edge strength. As soon as OSB gets wet or abraded it turns to mush.

[@kevinfearn4834]

Just picked up these plans! Thank you for making this April!

[@tonyburelle6633]

Very good, highly useful, and I'm glad you're feeling better

[@idunno15able]

Another great video that motivates me to to keep going on my projects! You are one of my top ten KZbin heros April, just saying :) Thanks for your hard work!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the drill press stand April! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

[@victorialatham-hodge424]

Always inspired by your videos. I’m now really getting into woodworking and you have got me into putting castors on everything. Great videos.🥰

[@milt7348]

Looked good, you have come a long way in a short time with your skill level. Please keep going.

[@talladegadude4852]

Great video! I love the arms that come up to help hold the board. Very well thought out project!

[@everchevy]

Was just looking at which band saw and drill press to equipment my new shop with today. This cart convinced me to go with a bench drill press. Last week I started building and installing full pull out draws in my wifes cabinets that I installed 5 years ago. I also just finished my new router table to mount my Dewalt router in this last weekend. I am so proud of my results. She thinks I am the greatest..LOL. I was a mechanic all my life.

[@karenstein8261]

Just found you today. Well done! A few notes: - Back in 1977 I made a basic dresser at work using salvaged crating materials and pneumatic staples. Others scoffed, but it was solid. Good to see the use of similar fasteners has caught on. - I can’t abide naked wood. It is a dirt and grease magnet! At a minimum I “break” edges and somehow seal the wood. Even simple Turtle Wax to work surfaces helps. - I’ve never tried pocket screws. Interesting. I’ve been using nail blocks and metal connectors. I’m thinking of move my up to dowels.

[@seanc3362]

Fantastic project April! Love the drawer inserts and the material supports. Oh ONLY two people are famous for their hand wave. The Queen and YOU!

[@Nicksterino]

Nice to hear some music in your videos again! This is a well thought out and implemented idea, keep them coming!

[@davethepak]

Great video as always. Love the idea of the sliding interior drawer/shelves - will certainly incorporate that into a project. thanks for sharing!

[@randyc5650]

Thanks, April. Another nice build and some good ideas.

[@ronalddelong2190]

Great Idea! Going to build one for myself! Thanks for the design and for making great videos!

[@thebencar1]

PARABÉNS, Que projeto MARAVILHOSO. Sou brasileiro, hobista e fiquei simplesmente encantado com o projeto em si; com a didática na construção do móvel e na simpatia da nossa Professora, rsrs... Vou tentar fazer algo parecido, pois, esse é muito perfeito. Forte abraçoooo...

[@brettmasek9453]

Great build April. Love your channel and I can’t wait until my daughter is just a little older so she can enjoy your work too! For your build, it’s a great idea. But an idea for your side wings would be to cut the center and side rails at a 45 degree, making a channel for the wing to slide up and down in, but it won’t be able to swing away from the cabinet. That is what I used for the slide mechanism on my router lift and it works great. A little wax and slides slick as can be. Keep up the great work!

[@davidbritton8429]

Very very good project. It is very simple and straight forward as is most of your projects. It has given me many ideas to organize my garage space. ( When it warms up).

[@POCO71]

Good work April, nice to see something being built that is not overkill. Solid built and work!!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesome project, totally love it.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🗜🔩⚙️Thanks for sharing this.

[@LutherBuilds]

I love the Masonite drill bit drawers! Best solution I've seen for organizing drill bits. Super easy and not complicated at all. I've been looking for a solution for storing mine.

[@cdwoods365]

You are an inspiration! I look forward always to your next video. Thank you!

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Great design and execution...as usual from April..Thanks

[@BusyPoppy]

I have been wondering what to do with my tabletop drill press, what you have done is an excellent solution. Thank you for the brain tickler.

[@user-er1yg8bs7r]

Hi April How fun to see you preparing and building more such things I learned a lot from you because of your videos Keep going up the amazing

[@FranksDIY]

I've been following you for a few years now April and you have come a long way. I love this build because looking at my own shop it will come in handy. Ill get rid of the bench that is on no because its just a clutter holder.

[@markquinlan4876]

Very cool. Multiple applications for sure with the side supports. Thanks for the excellent content, keep it up and again, thank you.

[@markbonham3477]

Nice job April. My Drill press is a monster with it's own stand but those cabs look fun to build anyway.

[@rmccagle]

Hi April, thanks for the build and the plans!!!! I'm going to build one!!! Yiur builds inspire me to do more woodworking!!!!!

[@RogerC68]

What a wonderful project! Great job!

[@mark_loveless]

I literally just finished building a drill press stand yesterday. Definitely adding the supports and the drawer organization ideas today.

[@ziyaaddocrat5185]

Very well designed and works fantastic

[@RS-Amsterdam]

My favorit "Drill Instructor" 🤗

[@abdullaal-khudair4352]

First of all, I thank you for your wonderful style and the same wonderful explanation

[@nigegrumlin6636]

Great project and a good addition to your workshop. Best wishes from Yorkshire, England.

[@tennesseewoodsigns8637]

Amazing April....Thank You. You Rock! 👍👍👍

[@8stringmonkey]

Was rethinking making a stand for my miter saw. I like the wing idea for support of the longer pieces. Easier than pulling the roller stand out every time.

[@dekebell3307]

Awesome build! Thanks for sharing!

[@DavidStanton]

That is a sweet stand April. I love your sliding side table supports.

[@bluecatblu76]

Love seeing girls/women getting into woodwork. Growing up It wasn’t seen as the done thing for women to do woodwork. I’m going back to the 70s and 80s. My dad taught me everything I know today. My brothers weren’t interested but all I did was hang around my dad watching him build stuff. I can’t cook for nuts, but I can build anything, well almost anything now I’m 60. 🤓🤓

[@twodogswoodworkingandwood6742]

I'm right there with you! My husband has always worked with me and just had faith I could tackle ANYTHING. Now I have a sawmill and I can make a project from log to furniture! Keep building!

[@vincenzocracolici7002]

Great project, I have just made mine and I should have waited for your video!

[@DIYFixMan]

Very nice! I loved your work. Keep making great videos

[@141poolplayer]

That is a really nice stand. Good job.

[@ksp1278]

Looks great, and very functional.

[@dukesnyder3607]

Really great idea! Will upgrade mine when the weather warms up. Thank you!

[@AprilWilkerson]

No problem. : )

[@ThoenWorks]

Great build😎. Really like that all the "drill press stuff" is right there handy.

[@andrewbrown8148]

Nice job, April~! I have a full-sized drill press that's needing a cabinet for quite a while. Thanks for the inspiration~!

[@xianshengxu998]

The tools you use are so advanced that I can't imagine it.

[@dallascumming8750]

Brilliant! I'm definitely making this. Thanks!

[@DC-1]

Another cool shop project.... looking forward to many more cool projects this year 👍🇺🇸

[@stevenzawalick49]

Excellent job April!

[@brucepeter3409]

Another awesome video April. This one gave me a few ideas for my shop (the adjustable "wings").

[@dougwilke9253]

Awesome job !! Excellent we expect nothing less thank for the video!!

[@MrPatrick7777]

Simple and genius. I am an apartment dweller and recently built a 2x4 work station... wish I saw this first. I still may built this and move carpenter station outside to hold my coffee cups and drying work.

[@erinfurian8772]

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you I Look forward to building my own from your plans

[@AprilWilkerson]

Have fun with it!

[@derekpeterson8005]

I love this stand. Thanks for sharing
