In the ten years since the launch of YouTube, the
video-sharing website has become the go-to destination for guides on how to do
just about anything. Woodworkers are generous folk and many are taking to
YouTube to share their skills and help us all improve our craft. Tool reviews,
shop tours, project ideas and tips of the trade are all available online for
anyone looking for woodworking news and information.
There is a growing community of woodworkers with their own
specialist YouTube channels, some of whom make their living from doing what
they love, sharing projects and ideas with viewers. One of the woodworking
YouTubers is April Wilkerson Triton
Brand Champion for the USA who also provides valuable feedback on product
development. April is the first to admit that she is relatively new to
woodworking but with a passion for making and a determination to learn and
share her knowledge she has gained a committed following for her YouTube
channel.
Triton Tools caught up with April at her workshop in Texas,
USA, to find out more about how she has turned her woodworking hobby into a
successful YouTube channel that is now her full-time job.
We also filmed an exclusive project build with April which
will be posted here on the Triton blog early in the New Year so don’t forget to
come back and see how it went.
To see more of April’s work, read up on her project or download some plans, check out her website www.wilkerdos.com and her YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/AprilWilkersonDIY
