I seriously love how happy u get after u do something and ur happy with how it turned out.. almost like ur doubting urself.. 😅

[@AprilWilkerson]

No self doubting just enjoying what I do to fullness. It is so rewarding to see the fruits of your labors. Thanks for watching.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I like how you take shop scraps and make something beautiful and functional out of them April!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes, I always try to use left overs as much as possible. Thanks for watching.

[@LowKeyTroll]

I love your video format (and content!) - perfect amount of explanation without all the obvious time-filler.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying my channel. Thanks for watching.

[@mr.wardensworkshop]

the lifting finishing wall is a great infrastructure build. Really cool.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! Glad you like it.

[@carmicha]

The MIA palm router saga was pretty funny, but you masterful using the flush trim bit on that router table.

[@danaowen9014]

That looks great also with the logs in it. April it gives the fire place a cabin and cozy feel, with a decoration look.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! Yes, I love the look. Thanks for watching.

[@davesmith8936]

Your esthetic was always up there but it just keeps getting better and better! Very cool project. Keep them coming!

[@stallman2]

Another great project completed! I really like how you admitted that you made a mistake. And also showed true craftsmanship on how to resolve it without just cutting a new side. You are a great inspiration to DIY's!!! Keep up the amazing things you do!! Stay safe.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thank you for your kind words. Thanks for watching.

[@evelynpasqua6968]

It’s fun to watch you to do these things in creative ways. Thank you for the tips and ideas.

[@darcyscott2406]

Hi April, nice idea and they look great! Just one thing I have to say being a father of three, wear your safety glasses when using air nailers. I know you’re an adult and it’s your channel but I had to say it. Thanks for sharing and have a good week! ✌️from Northwestern Vermont

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

A nice project for the fireplace 🔥 ❗️ Great idea that provides plenty of indoor firewood storage. The projects you’ve been sharing recently are easy to watch and follow along with. Thanks! Take care April!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes, I think it not only is functional but I think makes the fireplace look complete. Thanks for watching.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

@@AprilWilkerson …. Yes! The fireplace looks complete! Plus, your design adds to the warmth of the room. Not ‘just a box’! I truly appreciate all you do. Thanks.

[@toshiaki274]

Love seeing that beautiful smile on Sundays. Great job. 🤙

[@AprilWilkerson]

Aw thanks!

[@dennishinkle5010]

The great thing is that you could use them anywhere in your home. A fantastic project that looks terrific. 👍👍♥️

[@AprilWilkerson]

Absolutely! A sewing room, craft room, kid's room, you name it. I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

Looks Fantastic next to the fireplace

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thank you! Yes, I love how it looks. Thanks for watching.

[@billytyson1748]

I like the fact that you show your mistakes. A lot of people on KZbin will not show that part of building something. They act like they don't mess up.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Oh believe me, I mess up plenty and always show it. Thanks for watching.

[@tonythomas3463]

You have a wonderful gift of creativity ❤

[@AprilWilkerson]

Fantastic April, great idea and looks so good too. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, Fred.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thank you, you too.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Turned out great April, awesome job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@ronsamborski6230]

I would love to have a shop and equipment like April has. I’d have my carpenter brother come over and build all kinds of stuff! 😊

[@christinelowrie5227]

Like the MSA 220 C!

[@robcarnaroli269]

Maybe a shop project idea. Portable saw buck to drag the limbs on to cut them.

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

Love your videos…. And you! So please wear your safety glasses when using tools like the air nailer!

[@jimpiatek5063]

Another great project April 💕💕

I always have to measure 5-6 times then cut. That's what happens when ya get old like me. This is pretty cool!

[@cabman86]

Now I just need a fireplace

[@holmesgirlclassics6664]

So cool! Great Tutorial! Love this

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks!

Cool idea !!

Apparently from the extra holes the crescent flip out doesn’t always work! 😂

[@lnsdetailingmechanical5440]

Very tidy 👌 although your hardware storage set up caught my attention straight away 👍I'd be showing it off too lol

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes, I just love it! It's a game changer to be sure. Thanks for watching.

[@karenalefounder4083]

I would have painted the sides too, personal choice. Made a discovery yesterday I now have 3 of your t-shirts, forgot about the one I got from you at Maker Central lol.

ooks like I may be waiting awhile on Sthil batteries and chargers for this one. OOS

[@alexcooper689]

Cool storage. Friendly tip - you shouldn't be burn greenwood like that indoors. It's highly inefficient due to the moisture content and the smoke it produces can cause build up in your chimney that can later become a fire hazard. The smoke can also have a harsh smell to it that gets into your home. You should let the wood dry out properly first.

[@kiowablue2862]

Yep. Green or wet wood shouldn't be burned in ANY woodburnng heater. Creosote burns at 2500°F.

[@chris-fh8mn]

Ja Moin, super Video sieht gut aus. Wollte es nachbauen aber da sieh ich keinen Sinn mehr, bei uns in Deutschland ist es ab 2024 verboten mit Gas oder mit Holz zu heizen. Aber trotzdem ein super Video mach weiter so. Grüße aus Deutschland

[@kevinvernon3600]

April, the actual saying is "Measure twice, cut twice, go buy more wood." ;)

[@allenwilson9656]

April if you was to set that thing upside down on the floor it would make a dog 🐕 house condominium or a three-plex 🤣 great design on the wood box by the way

[@cbryantbear6498]

Just a thought, what about pocket holes to attach cubbies to backer board?

[@kiowablue2862]

If you're speaking of cement backerboard, like the type used in a wet environemnt, you really don't want that suff out in the open. Especially where it might be subject to rubbing/scuffing. The silica dust generated when that happens is some fairly bad stuff. (can cause lung disease) It works OK when used as intended because it's usually installed under ceramic tile.

[@chakireladraoui9331]

Good

[@btrswt35]

What tool manufacturer has a red jointer?

[@rahulpitroda2789]

[@brianlombardi8390]

Hey April, great video. What is the tape measure you use with black and green? I have a terrible time seeing my tape measure and think that color combo could work well. Thanks

It's the Crescent Lufkin Nite Eye Tape Measure. It's fantastic! Thanks for watching.

I cut this board off 3 times & it's still too dang short!!!!!

At 5:38 it looked like your face was 8 inches from the nailer, without safety glasses. A bit risky?

[@Ghoststalker777]

You shouldn't store firewood inside your home like this and the reason is, is that the bark inside and underneath is full of insects, bugs and they're unhatched eggs just waiting to invade the wood and furniture inside your home when you bring it inside ( one big inside invite ) leave your firewood outside, in the garage or in a good sealed concrete basement firewood room until needed.

[@kiowablue2862]

I've read that one should keep the amount to 1 or 2 days worth. i.e. don't store large quantities of it near your house.

[@Ghoststalker777]

@@kiowablue2862 It only takes seconds once you bring firewood inside your home for them bugs to start exploring and lay eggs. If you want your house/furniture full of bugs then go right ahead. Make sure you keep a Pest Control phone # handy for the Termites that start eating your home.🐛🪳🐝

[@kiowablue2862]

@@Ghoststalker777 NO argument there. Damn bugs are quick when it comes to home invasion. I meant that one shouldn't store more than 1 or two days worth NEAR your house. (let alone INSIDE it!) i.e. don't put in in your garage, on your patio, etc., keep it at least a few yards from any buildings. I keep mine 50-60 feet from my house.

[@StillRunningWithPointedSticks]

[@ricksolari9570]

Those are very weak joints for carrying that kind of weight. The edging lacks durability also. Eventual failure is to be expected.

Perhaps, we'll see. If I see weakening it will be addressed. Thanks for watching.
