Includes complete materials list and cut list, with all angles and math done for you! Plus these designs maximize material use, giving you the most amount of shed for the least amount of money.
This is a complete video series detailing exactly how to build a shed from beginning to end. It is presented so that even someone with little to no experience can tackle this project. The instruction teaches the IBC (International Building Code) rules that almost every jurisdiction in the United States follows, so you will be prepared if you need a permit. But in many cases a permit isn’t required for a shed under a certain size.
This project takes only basic tools to accomplish. If you have a circular saw, a drill, a level & a hammer, along with some basic hand tools, you can do this.
There are things that will make it quicker of course, such as a nailgun & compressor. But you can decide what level of tools are needed.
I’ve broken the video into digestible parts. This makes it easier to refer back to a specific section. Or, if you only happen to need instruction in one area, this will save you time, since you can just watch what you need.

Please like and share our videos. Thank You!
We love teaching the world to do woodworking.
This is the first time I have ever used high school math for triangles and it felt useful! Have to admit it made me smile. But more importantly, thank you for making such thorough videos. Just awesome!!!!
For everyone who said "Why do I need to learn math in school?" This is why. Great series!
This is the best shed building series EVER! Thank you. I feel like I owe someone some money after watching these videos.
Dude, these videos are incredible! I sucked at math in high school (well, school in general) but I had no problem understanding your examples. Well spoken, well shot, well edited and easy to follow instructions. Simply put, well done sir!
Thank you. You are very kind!
Same here 👍🏻
This is awesome thanks
I have watched a number of videos and WoW, you really make this so so sooooo simple. Thank you, thank you very much !!!!
I've watched a lot of roof truss videos and, providing you have the time and a notepad to write notes, this is the best video that I've seen. Adding the moment for screenshots,...that's brilliant. Good work, thank you.
Appreciate the efficient and concise way of showing this. Thankfully I'm doing a 10x16 so it was even easier... Thank you!
I have watched many videos but yours was broken down so well that I finally got it! Thank you so much!
This is by far the best tutorial for the DIY beginner! Love it! Thank you! I can't wait to watch the rest in this series!
BEST description of making roof rafters!!! GREAT job!
Wow, I have never seen a video as comprehensive as this series on how to build a shed. Your explanation of how to do the math is outstanding. I teach a a local university and your teaching skills are exemplary. Please, please, keep up the work you are doing. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you, can't wait on video 3, watching it next...
For years I've always wondered how they built these and your explanation is very easy to understand.
Thanks so much for the upload...Cheers 😎
Great videos, I love how you narrate them!
My guy. Thank you sooo much. You have no idea how much you helped me out. I’ve leaned so much. !!
thank you so much for posting this video. It helps me a lot as a DIYer. God bless you and your whole family.
By far the most informative and detailed video on HOW to build a roof! Great job!!
Wonderful explanation! Thank you james. Extremely knowledgeable.
Thank you for all the information the best part is you and your daughter's working together that's priceless
This is easily the best video I've seen on building the shed rafters. You made the math and transferring the calculations to cutting the lumber very easy to follow. Thank you.
This was GREAT !!! Excellent idea to build these before the walls are on and building the template in place...........I am totally going to do this for my shed. I would not have thought of that. Thanks .....Also.......I love the puppy.
The best roof calculations explanation I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge.
You have made what I thought was super complicated, easy to understand. Thanks for the instruction.
This may be the best video I’ve seen on the math used in building. I wish you were my math teacher . You made it so easy and it’s great that your kids are a part of this.
this was outstanding finally understanding the rafter length and birdsmouth placement...terrific
I have always wanted to learn how to build a shed for home use. I appreciate how it was explained and the steps that were taken to explain how these trusses are built. Thank you very much for sharing this info.....
Best tutorial I have ever seen period! Thank you
Awesome channel, love that you have your kids building the shed. This shows those adults That thought it would be to hard or need to over pay for a shed You can do it yourself of course with your plans and detailed videos
I'm building a backyard office/guest house and the explanation in this video on how to build rafters/trusses with the necessary math is the best I have seen on RUclips. Bravo!!!!
Sir, you have a knack for teaching. Some of the techniques and geometry finally hit home in my brain after all these years with many thanks to you.
Love the series.
Thanks so much for doing theses!
One of the best videos on slope and picth. I appreciate the math part. I've always had trouble with that part.
This is the best video of how to determine the dimensions of the rafters, bird's mouth, etc that I've seen on RUclips. Great job and excellent graphics. Thank you for such a terrific explanation!
This is an impressive tutorial. There's nothing left out; the student learns everything he/she needs to know. You are a very intuitive teacher.
Great tutorial. Very clear information, even for someone who hates algebra. Going to watch this a few more times. Thanks!
You are the best !
Much appreciated. Can't put my thanks into words.
Great team work from amazing family!
Thank you
Thank you. You are very kind.
@@KingsFineWoodworking
I'm building 8 by 12 shed right now following your methods. Hopefully will get it right.
I'm having troubles from the start . My back yard ground is very sloop and uneven !
Money is short! So I'm doing my best from the get go .
Thank you every much on the trusses calculation. This will help me alot! You have explained very well! Thank you again!
Watched your video - Helped so much better than other videos on building Trusses - Were building a large chicken coop and were down to the truss - after 2 wonky cut boards, your video explained what we were doing wrong with our 5/12 slope - thumbs up and subscribed.
Im so glad i found these videos. You do an awesome job teaching and explaining every step.
Very helpful information and put in plain English as possible you are my go to channel for building sheds and other things 👍🏿thank you
Outstanding! When I built my shed, & made birdmouths, I winged it, (basically measured a 22° slope for it)tested it on my base floor, & then marked a center line on my shed floor, used that as my mark for the stud rafter cut (used a sliding angle for the ends)& measured down for the birdsmouth cut & then added 6” for the eave.
This is pretty neatly explained!
Great video series ! Thanks for the detailed instructions; so many videos leave out the details!
Great job ! 👍🏼
You know your math! Thanks for the excellent video. I just made some rafters for my 4/12 roof but I added a 2X4 for a ridge member but I wish I would have seen this before as now I need to add a filter for the 1 1/2" thickness of the ridge member so that the plywood will come to a peak. Your daughters do great work too.
I have to say you are excellent at teaching. You are smart, organized, speak at a good pace, patient, a good speaker and very kind for sharing your knowledge. Thank you.
I appreciate how you teach those of us that have no idea how to do this, how to do this. You put it in the most simplest form that I can absolutely understand and that is huge so thank you very much for taking the time to do that.
You are very welcome.
Thank you for such a kind note.
James
This is a super valuable video. Geometry was my favorite subject in 10th grade, but I'm a bit rusty after 23 years, so this was a great refresher and will make it much easier for me to build my shed. Thanks!
Thank you!
Easily the best video on building rafters. Easy to follow instructions. Your attention to detail in explaining the process was A++. Many blessings to you and family for generously sharing your knowledge. 🙏
Thank you. You’re very kind
Great job explaining the math process! keep up the good work : )
Hi John! Thank you!
About to start our 12'x16' shed next week, I watched what feels 100 shed construction videos. Your series is the best, the attention to detail and how you explain things is top notch. Great job to you and your family.
Totally agree 👍very well done indeed .
Plan to do a 12x16 in a few weeks myself. Agree that this is super helpful
Hi James really enjoy your videos. Great refresher course on making a shed or any wall framing. Keep up the good work. Great Channel.
I'm building a high end pottery shed for a new client. I've never built a roof on my own since I've usually been the carpenter's helper. So his video helped me out immensely, thank you!!
This was the piece that I was missing in how to build a shed! Thanks!!!!!!!
Hi Dan! Thanks for watching!
Your instructions on on how to cut and calculate the rafters and birdsmouth is BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE EVER SEEN, GREAT JOB SIR
Supremely well done, as usual, James! It is a true joy to watch you perform as a great teacher, taking care to ensure that the information imparted is crystal clear and in a form that is of great value to your students! It is also a joy to watch your ladies perform their magic. High fives all around --- oh, and I send greetings from the birthplace of Elvis Presley. I'm sure his father could have used your instruction when he built the shotgun house in which Elvis and his parents lived. You're welcome to come and visit the birthplace whenever it's possible. I'll give you a personal tour here in Tupelo, MS.
And, I notice that you teach at the university, as well. Another similarity here. I began my teaching career as a junior high Industrial Arts teacher. After 8 years, I was recruited to become Principal of a 6th-7th grade middle school. Then, I was recruited to join the faculty at Mississippi State University where I led the Instructional Technology program and developed the graduate program in Instructional Tech. I really miss my years in the classroom. Been retired for 19 years, but working as much as ever--writing books, public speaking, consulting, and the main job of just "fiddling around" in my garage shop. :-) Oh, and watching RUclips videos!
Great job!Using this right now to build my own shed!
Fascinating stuff. Really enjoyed this episode. Thank goodness for speed squares :) The Rocks made me smile. I was part of a crew that built a 26Km road, At the end of the day, the 'Pet' would be brought to the end of the road. We could see how much dirt we had moved on that day :)
Hi Peter! Speed squares certainly are powerful little tools. I’m going to make a video showing just how many functions they really have.
I always - ALWAYS - learn something watching your videos, James.
Thank you, Paul!
Love the family teamwork!
I’m gonna build my first 8 x12 shed. I have been watching quite a bit of RUclips of how to build one. So far you are the best. You’re a great teacher
Thank you. That’s very kind.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Very informative. Appreciate your good work. Keep them coming
Thank you ,,, your video is awesome and your way to teach us is even better!!! God bless you
You’re a natural born TEACHER! ❤️
Hi Allen, thank you! As it turns out, that was my day job. I did woodworking to pay my way through college. And for the last ten years I’ve been teaching organic chemistry at the university level.
How much do you spend on this project ?
@@KingsFineWoodworking whatever the subject, keep teaching. The world needs more teachers like you. Maybe do some videos for The Kahn Academy and other online learning channels.
Ok. I am super creative but also mathematical inclined. You just solved my shed issue. Thank you!!
Best video ever. Love you guys for sharing your knowledge
Thank you!!! First time the slope thing has finally made sense to me!
You guys are amazing..Thankyou so much..very much appreciated..
Absolutely loved this! Thank you!
I am watching in order and while the other two were really good, this particular one rocked. Math, it’s always nice when someone else does it for you. 🤭🤷♀️👊😊
Thanks for all you do for everyone of us. 😘
😁👍🏻. Thank you for watching and being a big part of the community!!
Fantastic explanation. I am not speaking English and I understood it perfectly. Thank for you clarity from Spain, Sir.
I agree with others commenting here. Your video is, hands down, the best learning experience as I have been trying to learn how to build the roof on my new shed. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it so clearly.
Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say.
You are an awesome teacher, wished I had you as my math teacher growing up.
Very useful video for us, the amateurs,thanks a lot !!!😊
I am so grateful for you posting these videos. I have built my walls on my shed and now have come to the point where it's time to build my trusses. I was looking for a way to build my trusses to give me maximum headroom but still be strong enough to handle a significant snow load as I can't access my shed during the winter months. In my part of the world I can expect about 4 feet of snow. I decided I would install a tin roof so that the snow might slide off the roof in the spring. I originally planned a 4/12 pitch but having seen your 7/12 pitch I can see the advantage which hopefully will cause the snow to slide off. Even if the snow doesn't slide off I am more confident that the runoff in the spring will keep the extra weight from the water to minimize the extra weight
This video is amazing. I am horrible at math but the way you explained made total sense. You’re a great teacher.
Wow terrific build and your children helping too!
Hi Matthew! I am very fortunate that they like it!
Glad you are back with the series
Thank you!
Excellent video! It cleared up a lot of questions I had! Thank you!!
I've seen a number of shed building series videos on RUclips and this is by far the most comprehensive and easy to follow. Well done!
Hi Matt, thank you!
Matt Nagy I concur with your assessment.
KFW Great video but you said that C is 69.5 but then once you measured you made a mark at 69.75. I know it’s just a quarter of an inch but I was wondering the reasoning for that?
This was great, I have been researching "how to build rafters for a 12x12 shed" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Beybigail Nonpareil Breakthrough - (search on google ) ? It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to create better sheds and improve your woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.
@@williamcaruso6239 I came here to find the answer for the same thing. I think it might’ve been for the siding🤷🏻♂️
Great video. We appreciate you sharing your knowledge
Best vid I have watched on this topic by FAR
I finally have a use for algebra and geometry 🎉 As a self taught woodworker, ive been swagging the math. It always works but now I understand how to get there faster
Incredibly useful. Thanks for the video. You are a master if your craft, sir.
Thank you so much for this video. My daughter has been teaching me this I had went to school and had learning disabilities going to school so never learned more than just basic math. Shame to say but that's the way it was. And have built hundreds of things over my 50 Years of Living. And you've explained this so simple to me that I finally get it after 50 years. Thank you so much for this video! My daughter said Daddy will we ever going to use this math for. I'm going to send you this video she's 14 thank you so much.
It is wonderful to see your daughter is learning a trade that will last a lifetime even if they choose another occupation. They know they can always go back to it if they need to.
I have learned a lot this old lady is learning new things:)
Man great job guys.better than school.thanks for being so detailed
This video is awesome! Thanks so much for the detailed build of the trusses and the techniques of building them on the floor. Excellent video! Thanks to all of your family too for working hard in helping others! 😊🤩🥰
Glad you liked it!
Outstanding how to videos - like the whole series.
Your daughters are awesome, BTW.
Thank you James I really enjoy your attention to detail and explanation of each step, The pet rocks were my second favorite lol
Hi Walter! Thank you. It was halfway through the build before I noticed what she was doing, haha. She finally had to put the big rock up there for me to catch it!
Man James, I watched this to early on a Monday morning and I'm still picking up the pieces of my head. Lol!! Thanks for sharing it was a great tutorial on roof design. Y'all take care of all those pets!!
Hi David 😁👍🏻. Thank you for watching!!
Great series of videos showing everything that is required to build a complete shed
Hi Peter! Thank you!
Just wanted to say great video and well paced review of basic frame building construction principles. Further impressed with investing your time in spending it with your girls and teaching them these skills. My hats off to you, good man, good dad. The world could use more like you.
You are very kind. Thank you.
I’m actually building a 10 x 9 she’s as we speak and my walls are already up with floor and top plates. This video is clutch. I think I’ll use the exact same technique to build my trusses. Thank you for the effort and for aharing
Man! These videos are awesome! Made a lot of sense and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything!
Thank you!
Best explanation for how to make a rafter that I have found on the internet. Only think I would add is if you're using a ridge board you need to subtract the ridge board thickness from the length of the rafter.
Love your content my confidence went up. Great job
I learned so much from this James. It was amazing! Thank you!
Thank you Scott! That's very kind.
Thank you very much for making this video. I sometimes do some small projects and look online to learn and improve my knowledge. Honestly, this program was the most accurate and perfect video I've ever seen. I really appreciate your explanation. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for such a kind message!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ your videos
Enjoyed the instructive video. Thank you!
