You are so right. I lost my dad when I was just 32 years old. I'm 60 now, and I still miss him every day. When I was far too young to help him, dad did projects like this one while I watched and absorbed it like a sponge. This video shot me down memory lane with my dad, and I am grateful to you for that. On a more relevant note, your project is terrific as it is one that most able bodied people could realistically accomplish by referring to your video as they go. Thank you for sharing this with us.

My older brother died a little over a year ago when he was 59, and he loved to fish for Stealhead. It would of been great to have all 3 of us fish again together!

Follow up on that in your heart and in your mind my friend. I'm so sorry for your losses. I am currently dying of cancer, so I can tell you with at least some authority that your dad and your brother are doing okay. It is we who are left behind who hurt. But it is a bittersweet hurt. It keeps our fallen loved ones alive, and what a beautiful thing that is.

As a guy who's done lots of framing, I was going to pick this apart and eat you alive for it, but after watching it, I admire you. Not a fake bone in your body, and accepting the fact that you're not a pro, not trying to be, and having fun with a little project knowing it's not gonna be perfect, doesn't have to be, and you're happy with it. Respect 🤜🤛🍻

Me and my Dad loved wood working. We built a 2 car garage when i was younger. Then beds and furniture as i got older, and will remember that for the rest of my life. Lost him in March 2021, and i will carry on my love of wood working from him and for him. Thanks for the video, and the reminder of past builds.

I live in Greensboro NC and I think the ground is simular to yours and I pick up used pieces of wood when I see them and have a good collection. Thank you for giving me hope❤

[@modela4096]

Lost my pop when I was 30 & I'm now 63. He was in WWII, as a T5, Technical Corporal in the European Theater. I still think about him everyday. Back in 2007, I built a 12' X 20' barn all by myself. However, I learned a lot from my dad which included having confidence in whatever I was working on. My son is now 28 and I see a lot of my dad and me in him.

[@markrichardson5796]

Hi Shawn . Thanks for another great video. I am builder in New Zealand and a few years ago I took up turning and have watched almost all of your videos in an effort to absorb some of your awesomeness. As it is always work the effort to learn create and share :) I wanted to pass on some hints as to what you might like to try in the future if you do this kind of project again- or for anyone considering making a shed. 1. Consider using screws. They are fast becoming the go to for all builders. ( just like they are for joiner's like you)They pull the wood together tighter than nails and they dont let go- therefore avoiding squeaking and also less racking in the framing. When you put a temporary brace on you dont have to hammer the entire structure to remove it- you simply unscrew it. When your framing is lying down you simply screw 1 or 2- 100mm screw or "bugle screws" through the bottom plate and into the stud. This has an incredible amount of holding power compared to a nail, and if you need to reposition it- no trouble. Great for people doing their first shed. 2. When you cut the door out you could also have tried lifting the sheet into position- Marking the back of the ply sheet around the outline of the door with a pencil. Dropped it onto some saw stools and cutting it out with a battery skill saw. Far neater and quicker too. 3. When ever using things like long timber studs a short spirit/bubble level will not give the best results as timber can vary over the length of just 1 meters depending on how good/bad your grade of timber is. A level at least 1.8 meters will give you a more accurate and plumb result. All this said I realise that this is just a shed- just hoping someone else may find this helpful. I wish that it was cheaper to build my own shed here in New Zealand, but most often its cheaper to buy a kit set one, which sucks. Thanks again

[@LuisGarcia-ro8wg]

Bro, it is ridiculous how easy you made that look, I enjoyed every minute of it, but at some points I got lost so I'll have to watch it several times. Thanks a lot.

[@daniels4338]

Finally found a channel that matches to my skill level

[@BillLowenburg]

I'm retired and work by myself on similar projects and want to say Thank You for sharing your tips. I learned a lot of practical techniques from this video. Like you, I try to avoid the math whenever possible and it's surprising how much you can accomplish by thinking things through and forming a mental picture or making a simple drawing. Your way of cutting the angle on the wall studs on the ends of your shed is a great example. Due to my lack of training, I'm all about compensating for my incompetence and things usually work out. I try not to let my lack of technical knowledge prevent me from trying something, because my projects are all for my own use and no one's paying me. Sometimes failure - or let's just call them "temporary mistakes," can be the best teacher. Last year I built a garden shed that would have turned out a little better if I'd have seen this video first. But this summer I'm building a storage shed and it's going to be much better as a result of your example. Thanks again.

For the main 4x4 foundational supports, I would put 2 bolts through each (with lock washers and nuts) , totally securing the foundation. Nails can be used for everything else, as the foundation is solid. Not that much more expensive, but hugely stronger over the years. Nice build. peace
