Very informative. Very well done. Lots of "make it faster and/or easier" things that I might not have thought of.

I love how you and your dad work together. It makes a tight bond. My dad and I used to do projects like this until he passed away. God, I miss those times. Cherish your dad like every day may be your last. ♥

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.

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 🤜🤛🍻

To have your father around is a real gift from life. Enjoy him as much as you can. Greetings from Mexico.

"Plan for your incompetence." This is a super good idea for first timers.

Having help is one thing, but having your dad to help is over the top. Great job!

This is some home grown goodness. No drawings and calculations, but not “by the seat of the pants” either. It obvious you had a plan, and had worked it all out in your head, and it came together perfectly. A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing it.

Good to having a dad, showing his son how to build something useful .

As so many said in the comments ... You are blessed to have your dad with you on this project.. Great job

Father and son having a good time while accomplishing something they both need...I miss my dad!!!

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.

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.

Love your philosophy “plan for my own incompetence” - need to adopt that!

Your silence when reading the tape was golden. Then your dad says he was holding the tape off the peer. Haha

Two things you need when you're a novice carpenter is lots of patients and a good sense of humor. You seem to have both down pat.

I have watched you guys a few times and I am gonna build my shed very soon. (Saved money for supplies). You guys help me understand the process and how to take my time and just get it done. Thank you very much for the great video and details.

I really felt as if I was learning alongside someone who didn't pretend he knew it all, but has the ability to figure it out. I grew in confidence the longer I watched. Excellent teaching method!

I love the public service announcement about wearing shirts in the work shop! Hilarious!

You guys are so funny😅 I love the father and son interaction! I wish I was there because I probably would have been laughing my as.... off🤣 I have been looking for a cheap way to do this. I am 68 and have always done everything myself! I have men in my life that won't do anything for me but they are excellent at watching tv. 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❤

Wood Glut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.

I loved it when your Dad 'messed' with you on the last measurement to get the foundation square! Your consternation was obvious. He got you good!

Well I learned something here today. I saw you put your pencil on the mark where you measured to and THEN move your square to bump the pencil to draw your cut line. I always place the square as best possible beside the measured mark and then draw the cut line across with the pencil. WELL YOUR WAY makes sure your square is at the perfect alignment with the measured mark. Learn something new everyday

My mom built our house. She’s amazing

Thank you. Good practical tips and nicely presented. I love the self effacing style when, actually, you are a natural at construction!

The plywood sheets should lay perpendicular to the floor joists. This increases the strength of the flooring.

Love it! It's so wonderful when you see two generations building something together.

Nice work! To me, the best part in this video is that you got to work with your dad. Cherish that.

Finally found a channel that matches to my skill level

I have watched a lot of shed building. Yours was better than most. Your way was good for someone who hasn’t done this. I liked how you showed how to layout, cut areas that were different, and made them easier to understand.your dad was a great help and inspiration to be there for you. I saved this to help me this spring to do mine. I liked how you built it and your way of doing it

27:04 - "Find yourself a workbench"... works on a garbage bin. Literally in tears of laughter! I love this video! Tons of info.

Nothing like a father and son project , its so nice to see father and son work well together! Keep up the good work!

"Planned Incompetence", I love that phrase, works all the time for me.

Take a drink every time he says “sheet good” seriously, great video. Cool guy. Sheet good!

"I'm gonna saw off the corners" - Starts hand sawing - Screw this I'm getting the chainsaw 😂😂😂

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

Nicely done. Plywood should always go long direction perpendicular to the joists. Otherwise it is more bouncy stepping between joists. Usually the sheets are staggered. No need for "double" joist every 8 feet.

Happy to see American's still building in the midst of this SPIKE in lumber prices. About the time we all get projects done the prices will probably level out, lol... Happy woodworking. Hello from Kentucky mountains

4:54 LOL I miss doing this kind of stuff with my dad. Enjoy it while yours is still here.

I freaking love this guy, he always down talks himself and his lack of skills while perfectly explaining and demonstrating how to do whatever task he is doing! Totally reminds me of my family and the way we built things growing up.

Fun video. The dad is a trip. Do these things while you can. I'd give anything to have had the chance to do this with my dad.

Dads a chop buster! Lol Love his wacky sense of humor.

5:00 “Go back and measure it again, I screwed you over”. Hahaha. That was a good laugh.

Dude my shed cost $1275 on special from Home Depot but I had it out on a slab roughly $500 and the labor for it to get built $500 so mines cost total right at $3000 because I had to pay for it to get painted. You guys did a better quality shed and bigger . Also you bonded with your daddy it’s was so nice.

I really appreciate the tips on the walls. I learned that since I have a compressor, I will buy a pneumatic nailer instead of a battery powered nailer, too. Wonderful improvisation. Euclid didn't use math either.

as a Dad with an adult Son I sad the same thing at the same time @4:46 love your Dad

I have to give you an A for effort. I've been building for 40+ years, and I could teach you some things, but with your aspiration and desire, I believe you'll finish anything you start. Congratulations buddy, well done!

I'm going back east to see my 85 year old dad on thursday 10th Nov.....very blessed

Great job , y’all two make it look so easy . I’m definitely more confident in building one now

The topless shop video was hilarious, but I'm bummed. I was watching to see how you would finish the roof and the door.

Haha, I love the expressions from your dad while your trying to explain things. The shed build was great, I looked out at my garden while watching your build and we have snow in Liverpool, not ideal for a shed build. As always Shawn, thanks for sharing.

ALWAYS WRAP YOUR PERIMETER WITH A 2ND 2X LOCKS EVERYTHING INTO PLACE USE 3" SCREWS ON HANGERS THAT GRAB BOTH!!!!!! LASTS 100X LONGER NO SAGGING NO CRACKING NO SPLITTING

You guys are funny and brilliant. Even a girl of 60 able to understand the technic of basic building. Thank you for sharing.

Been a while since I've seen anyone use a hand saw, but they do come in handy at times.

Even of you had went with 24” centres rather than 16” it would still be more solid than the box store precursor kit.

Cherish your father. This video makes me remember all the great times I had with my dad

Just wanted to let you know that I bought a plastic Rubber Made shed and it was to be delivered in a few days.... when I saw your video it inspired me to cancel the delivery and buy the wood to build it myself... I'm in the process now... Thank you!

I really enjoyed you guys working very good team work Really enjoyed your Dad when he was messing up with your head lol

I've desperately been looking for a video that is this detailed! Thank you very much!!

"Planned incompetence." Love it.

Thanks so much for the detailed step-by-step. Building a simple platform for my tent, so this is perfect

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

Miss my pops. Give your ole man a hug, tell him you love him. Good job I gave it thumbs up and sub

Love the Dewalt framing nailer! Makes framing simple.

Cool to see you and your dad work together. not how I would go about building a building but still fun to watch.

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.

first time watching your channel and ready enjoyed it and learned several things thanks for sharing. will try to watch more of your video's thanks stan

OMG! You are funny too! I'm a mere wife person but it was fun to watch you! Humor is life's best elixir! And you're a great educator. Your explanations are clear, succinct, and effective. I feel like I could build this now!

For folks who are building a shed but using treated lumber for parts of it, be sure to use the proper nails/screws rated for use with it. The current treatment they use eats steel like candy.

Awesome! If I would need a shed this would be a motivating aid to actually start such a project.

Loved the great idea of how to cut the side wall studs with minimal fuss. Clever.

As expected a very enjoyable video. Keep them coming Sean. Really nice to see your dad working along side you.

You so lucky have your father give you a helping hand, hope you will nice to him when he gets older. Thanks 🙏

I really appreciate all the time & effort it took to make this video. For a weekend warrior like myself, this turned out to be very helpful. Thank you!

I laugh so hard at your sponsored ads! I love them so much!

Wall Slide Braces are an Excellent idea, thanks! 👍

Great video - from a fellow Texan. OSB is now $40+/sheet. Crazy!

My dad was a carpenter. I wish I would of paid more attention. Great video!

Great job, it came out looking awesome and very sturdy!

Thanks for this. Planning a shed now to build in spring. Lots of good ideas here.

Okay the dad part sold me! He reminds me of my dad. He was a master craftsman and a good old boy from the hills of the south. He had a similar sense of humor your pop does. We did so many projects together. I got most of my skills from him. I wish he was still here because my wife talked me into buying another fixer upper. She is either trying to keep me young or kill me off. Liked Commented Subscribed

Great, great video!!! Good to see you and your father working together!!! Next time it will be a full house! Thanks be safe and take care you both!!

I love your way of teaching. You have a gift. I've already learned so much!

Little tip for next time when you're doing your layouts, hook the edge and pull your tape out, and mark 3/4 shy of your 16 (red marks) and put the x to the right. The left side of your joist will fall on the line every time and the center of the joist will be on the x. Hence the term "16 on center"

Looks great. My issue is with those corner ties. You’re supporting whole shed weight on them. The uprights are suppose to carry the weight. Notching the 4x4 for the ledgers would be the best way to do it and also using the corner ties as support.

Planned incompetence, I love that phrase👍 It's what I'm all about. Plan for the worse and hope for the better🙄 I'm thankful for individual thinking. I appreciate the differences we all have. What a contribution👌

I love your video man. Thank you for explaining! I love the " planned incompetence, we aren't that good" You are so good!

A $1,200 shed to provide "lots of space for junk?" The junk I have isn't worth $1,200! But if you have a legitimate need for a great shed, this one certainly fills the bill very nicely. Good job, guys!

Thank you for the "basics" on how to build a "commoner" shed. You did great with instructions and terminology of goods. I will tackle this project come this spring.

Thank you, For making this extremely easy. I appreciate your view on material cost, trimming down on floor size saves quite a bit on the entire rest of the build! Great video great work thank you again

some of your technics will work great for me. I'm a 60 yr young female with one working arm. Thank you for the help.

Thank you. I'm 65 and have slowed down. I don't have my father to help. I'm going to build me one anyway.

Time with one's dad like this is priceless. ❤️

Fun watching you and your Dad. Nice job!

Great video, finally one that guys like me who struggle with measurements can understand thank you for making this video.

Love your dad screwing you over when measuring the diagonal. Thanks for this video. I need to build a new shed here in the UK and am watching loads of videos to get ideas.

Im glad I found this outdoor shed video now i can get my shed out of my living room

I really liked all the tricks you showed that made it so you didn’t have to measure everything. Great job.

Inspiring to hear the added sanity and sense of a comics take on construction. Genius, all day long!! Love it!

The way you get a flat floor is to “crown” your floor joist upward. When applying the decking, the floor will flatten out as weight is applied. There isn't anything called dead flat when it comes to wood... there is only close. Also, sheet goods have something called a “strength axis”. You run your sheet goods perpendicular to your joist and not parallel to them.
