    You never cease to amaze me. This shed is so simple, and you described it so precisely that I'm going to give it a try. I have the lumber, and I have the time. So, I don't see why a 67-year-old woman can't do this.

      I really don't mean to brag (sorry) but I've just turned 80 and have been doing such stuff (over eight properties, and 50 years...) until recently... but now I just don't have the strength to lift stuff. My wife, who has been watching me for a few years, is now my best helper.
      Whenever I get out the hammer she always says: "When I nod my head, hit it..." and laughs like a drain.
      "The couples who build together just can't help staying together..." OR...
      "The couples who help each other cannot avoid staying together..."

    You even build like my dad did. He hardly measured at all. And he was a teacher, both by trade and an inborn ability to teach. So he'd tell me what he was doing while he was doing it. Being female I never really was interested in doing it MYSELF so I hear the terms "jig that off" and I know basically what it means but never could figure out what the thing was nor could I find it in a hardware store. Still, there is much to be said for the sounds and narration. Takes me back to my youth! Thank you.

    Built my first woodshed two years ago after having 5 large oaks taken down, and needing a space to dry the firewood. I meshed several different methods together and it turned out looking like a professional built it! The key is, make a plan and start. You’ll learn as you go. If you can make things square and level, you have the whole process licked. I threw down deck blocks and 2x6’s and went after it. A week later I have a shed that holds 6 cords and looks damn good while doing it.
    Dave, I did use your method of setting a nail to hold the board to hold the studs while leveling and nailing. That was a life saver as I didn’t have any help. Appreciated that tip.

    Good job. Just how I do it. Same deal, ONE MAN (PERSON) show. Work smart, efficient and safe. Like the layout. People suffer trying to get them square with out a fixed corner. Crazy to try it. Cut the right dimensions and it has to work out. Used 3,4,5 all my life or multiples if you have help, never. Some cut offs work back in. Not too much scrap. Always a good cooking fire at the end. Like the HAMMER. BRAND? Those ring nails take a good lick. Use them often. They don't back out. Local mill is so important. I support them all I can. Got posts for three projects now. I have a south of the border garage with a hillbilly roof. Hope it doesn't rain. Cloudy skies and roll plastic. All good Dave, from east Kentucky USA, keep a sharp saw. Square true level and plumb

    Good to see you back on here. I forgot to tell you guys my idea for that big concrete "bunker looking" building. That was like 6 months ago so you've probably already done something with it. In case you havent... I was going to suggest a BIG cantilever over the sides of this building for a couple of reasons. 1. Its small so this would give you more space upstairs and 2. snow protection/sun protection for the first floor doors and entry. Thats really all I wanted to tell you. Seeing your shed video made me think of it. I have a 14 acre place in south central PA and I've enjoyed watch you guys for a couple of years. I am a carpenter and former Coast Guardsmen. I love the tricks and techniques that you use to get things done while youre alone. Stay radical.

    This is a fantastic one man build no doubt. Just to add a tiny bit more DIY know how to it, you could also dip the corner post ends that get buried into used motor oil. This is a cheap off-grid ground contact treatment hack for all kinds of wood.

    I see you build sheds like I flew Ultralights ... by the seat of the pants! And Earl Grey is my favorite, "go-to" tea (whenever Black Silk coffee gets old :) I'll definitely be watching this one a second time ... Great tutorial, Dave! Thanks ... See you down the road. God Bless y'all

    Beautiful JOB One suggestion is to remove that branch off the roof because in time it will scratch your roof paint off and that's not a good thing. I use to work in management at a Metal roofing company that supplied the metal and installed it as well. YOUR SHED IS AWESOME!!! Great design. and loved the video.

    Dave, i’ve been to trade school and worked a bit of construction before. Yeah I still find myself here, not for the instruction, but for your personality and storytelling. I love the videos and the channel. Thank you so much!

    Thank you! I need one of these and have been trying to figure out how to do it myself! Voilà! There is Dave doing step-by-step instructions! I’m so excited to try…and thank you to the other older-ish women saying they are going to try too! Gives me courage! Lol

    Fine job tutorial ! I've had a white gas Optimus 111B like your Primus for decades. We did our woodshed with "flitch boards" ( mill cast offs ) on spaced sides under spruce log posts and top. Your shed is some elegant.

      Probably against code where many/most people live in the US as well. Whether it would be enforced is up to the local government. Most Americans don't live really rural lives.

    Those old scraps are gonna make a nice fire. I recommend palettes for flooring. Just drop them in. Keeps the bottom rows from rotting. Thanks for another awesome video Dave.

    I love watching your videos! I built my first house in 1981 with a framing square with unreadable numbers and a 14" chainsaw. I used the square to plumb the walls off the block foundation. It is still standing. I bought a level by the time I finished the second story and dropped it out an upstairs window. I cut off the broken end and used it for decades.

    So. you have the knowledge to build both houses and sheds. I have met many who have similar skills. But hardly anyone who has the ability to both explain in a simple way what they do and at the same time film and edit it into an instructional video. But you Dave, you really have that ability! Thanks!

    Ironically I was just thinking how I was going to build a new wood shed for some old dead trees that need to come down in the yard. Thank you sir.
