Off Grid Wood Shed ....... start to finish 

Thanks Dave for even showing the 2×4 falling on you. You are the best

"Cutting firewood heats you twice, once when you cut it, and once when you burn it." "We're NOT building a piano, we're building the box the piano came in." I love those old sayings, Nice wood stove shelter. Thanks Dave.

Hey buddy, you need to post more than every month or two. We miss your great videos.

You sir are a legend and an absolute massive help and inspiration for the off grid community. Thank you for all of your videos!

Another zen video from Dave. I really enjoy watching you create things and it's nice to hear you play the guitar in the background. The wood shed looks great. I'm so glad that fire was put out. Way too close for comfort.

NICE! Just plaaaaaain ol' Nice! A 'to do' list knock-off! WELL DONE! Now's the time to get the pit heated up and burn some ol' wood up! ENJOY...and thanks 4 sharing. Hope this comment was 'radical' enuff from an ol' geezer! Health and God Bless!

I’m just a city guy from California, but I’ve watched every second of videos you have released. I learn something new every video. Thanks Dave for all your work on these.

Great project Dave, Great reasons for doing the job all by hand and love that all your using is that torpedo level and the reason that's all you have. Hope Micky is Loving life. Had a good laugh at the reason not to be angry at all the rocks lol Amen

Still my favorite show on RU-vid.. I love that you do everything by hand.. means so much more in the end when you look at it

Good old YT not showing me your video for days after you released it. Clicked the mysteriously self unclicking bell... again. Fortunately it's still just as good for me now. Thanks for taking us along for the ride again. Always a pleasure to watch a new BR video.

I can watch this guy build stuff as well as listen to him talk for hours. Thanks for putting these videos out

I love even the echo when you're hammering. The echo in the wilderness is much different than the echo in the suburbs and city.

Hi Dave, fell a tree today in North GA barely clippin the wood shed w/ a branch, wild timing!! Thanks for the content!! You are an amazing story teller!

Couple of years after arriving at my house 21 years ago, I decide to build a wood shed, since I have two wood stove in my house. The main wood shed is about 24 X 16 and two front open doors, so one side in one year and the other side is the other year ... than I had a part of that wood shed just for the wood slab, since my neighbors had a wood mill, I can get as much as wood slab that I want ;) you know when you love wood, it's the perfect world ;) ;)

Enjoyed this wood shed build. A very much needed building. I was surprised that the sides are so low. I hear with a good size wood stove but have never had a wood shed. In the last 9 years, I should have had one built . It would have kept the wood from rotting and would have saved space. I should have sent Brooke a carrier pigeon note and pleated, " please come to Central Okla. To help me on a little project". The pay ain't good but we could laugh a lot. LOL. I love to watch all the Whipple videos. Thanks

I love cutting wood! Thanks for leaving the "falling board" in your video, so many guys would edit that out and try to make people think their perfect.

You know Dave, even though I follow your channel, the algorithms only ever flip one of your videos my way, every once in a while. But for a city slicker like me, they are fascinating and I enjoy the journey you take us on and tid bits of knowledge every time. Keep it up mate.

Woo hoo, I “burnt in and seasoned” outside my Survivor Grizzly Bear camp stove that I’m installing in my 12’x12’ log cabin that I just bought and am restoring in northern Wisconsin. One of your videos pointed this out, thanks!!! She and her pipes were real stinkers.

Dave.... We have been talking about building a small shed for our wood. We've been burning wood for 47 years.... & still haven't built one! We cover our woodpile with heavy tarps. I am 70 and my hubby will be 68 soon, so I guess we will continue to use tarps! Your woodshed, rock garden and firepit area are fantastic! Thank You for another great video! I do believe I saw Brooke in the background in this video! 👍 Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy!

Haven’t heard rain on a tin roof since I was a young kid. LOVE IT! And love your vids!

Wow. You felled that tree precisely between the blue truck/work table and the pink umbrella covered swing. Nice shot! BTW, never try to catch a falling knife, or level. 😵‍💫 Good luck with that fire. 😨

it's a rainy cold day here in mississippi, and I'm watching you build this shed, and my wife is watching your wife build that A frame cabin in the woods. we absolutely love you two and your videos. ❤❤ please keep them coming.

Love the end product of your labor. I really felt for you when the rail dropped down, I said "OUCH" before you did. I know what you mean about feeling really satisfied and happy about getting wood split and under cover for winter. Well done as always Dave.

... A good video project always good to have .... Teach Mickey how to make and how to use a water level ,, he'll never have to borrow one again ... No matter what size the project,, always true to the world ... Stay Safe ..

That wood shed is absolutely fabulous! Definitely a pavilion and a little build on the side for a wood store 😅,I can imagine the back ache after stripping that land back ouch! But you really have done a fantastic build,again! You put your heart & sole into everything you do,which is why everything is just fabulous! Enjoy your wood store and sitting looking at the fruits of your labour. 👍

20:55 Damn. That's a smart way to split a bunch of wood; I never would've thought of a trick like that.

Great video Dave. Hand tools and hard labor is a good thing. Looks great

Haha, anyone that's done a fair amount of framing has a few knots on their head, from you know, falling objects!! Great video Dave!

Dave, Once again you have built a thing of beauty! Why is it beautiful, because you did it with your own two hands, simple tools, and you completed several projects out of one project. God Bless you and your family. Hope your head is feeling better.

It will be fun watching videos of the Whipples in winter in Alaska 🌨❄🏠

Dave I have to tell you that you and Brooke raised an amazing young man. Very eloquent when he speaks, level headed, and just seems to be a nice kid. Love his channel and will look forward to watching g hi. Grow up. Nice job sir. As I messaged on Brooke's channel, you guys should have raised 10 kids as good as Nick came out. Love your family. Thanks for sharing

Its a good feeling to have a year or two worth of wood cut, split and drying well ahead of winter, thanks for another great video!

Beam construction looks good. Using hand tools gives you time to reflect on life.

More Videos please even vlogs and your everyday lives... what it's like to live there.

The board and level falling on your head was great. Not because it happen but because stuff like that happens to all of us and it is good to see a video include it. Love your channel. God Bless and take care.

Wonderful videos, good job. I watch the video then listen to your voice the second time. Soothing voice helps with making a good nap.😂 Brian

Fantastic video 😎👍

What a gem of a video! Yep, always projects on a property. That's for sure. This one will pay benefits for years. Thanks!

Love these videos!

Dave, the quote about building the box the piano came in is a great one. I had never heard that before and will never forget it.

Nice work Dave. Good to see how you are doing and the projects . Thank you and God bless

I have been watching your son and his building nice to see him go out on his own 😊

Hey buddy how are ya? I’m glad to see your son getting into the family business! He will do well! If I was his Dad I would be very proud of him! I’m sure you and Brooke are!! I need to build a wood shed to, but the snow here on the western slope is wet and very heavy.I will need to put at least a 6/12 pitch to keep it from crushing! I will use the lumber I’ve cut on my sawmill. Gotta live free lumber! On another note I find myself going back and rewatching many of your videos a lot lately. The cabin builds the off grid talks and the out house builds are my favorite. Well also the traveling across Canada ones are good to! Thanks Dave for what you do, I’ve learn so much from you, your wife, brother, and now son. Take care brother, God bless you all!

I’m glad I’m not the only one that drops stuff on my head 😂, but thanks your video instruction is good I come back to some of your videos sometimes to look at how you did something so I know what to do. 👍

That is one smart log shed Dave. I fear my log chopping days are behind me, for now, but I wish I'd thought of that tyre log holder! What a time saver. We used to have mostly oak, olive and pine logs on our property, made for some very hot and beautiful smelling fires. And I soon learnt to wear a hard hat in that sort of a situation, after a similar incident! I guess the heat won out? Another fine video.

Dave your videos are impeccable my friend the way you narrate your videos makes you sound like a professional narrator .! ,,, that might be a good second career for you . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.....

That steal bar is must have for a job like that. I was sweating that tree fell,a little. Great job Dave really appreciate your videos 😊

Good morning Dave... Happy Sunday

Great Video. Explaining your process made sense. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Always look forward to your videos, what a treat.

That hammer at 10:10 has some stories to tell!

Yes and I love watching your projects coming together. I love watching Brooke, Mick and you. You all are awesome. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

Holy cow! Felling a tree right beside a post you just set, with your pickup in the approximate line of fire! Talk about confidence in your abilities. I really enjoy your content!

Yep, another gem from the Dave Whipple collection! Straight to the point, well explained, and enjoyable to watch! Thanks for this shed build video!

Buy yourself a Pulaski. A handtool used by firefighters that combines an axe head for cutting roots with an adze for digging in rocky soil. Would make hole digging and stump removing easier while also saving your ax. Love the channel. Keep the great content coming!

Well done, Dave.😊

Thank you for showing how to build this without the "fancy" equipment. I can do this! :)

I always enjoy your videos. I am looking forward to the next one. Between you, Brooke, your brother & now your son the Whipple family keeps me entertained. Blessings to the Whipple's!

You make it look so easy! Love your voice and you vids. Been a bit of a down day for me, you can just imagine how happy I was to find your new vid! Tx Dave for taking us along, what a treat for an old lady!❤❤

Great video! your wood shed looks Awesome!!! love your idea of splitting the wood in the middle of a tire. Love watching your videos. :)

I was saving up money to buy a house.. Since finding your family's channels, I'm now saving up for land... probably in Michigan since where I live isn't Homesteader friendly.

Thanks, Dave. I built a woodshed almost identical to yours a few years ago - also all by myself with just hand tools - though I did use a cordless driver and screws instead of hammer and nails. I'd never built anything like that before and basically made it up as I went along. And it turned out great. The one thing I found came in most handy was a set of clamps to hold boards in place while I screwed them. Besides not being very strong any more (I'm 68), I have a pinched nerve in my neck and the arm on that side is only about 50% as strong as the other. I remembered that I had the clamps after getting hit in the head exactly the same way you did. I swore a lot more than you did, too. After that, things went a lot better. For sinking the the posts I used a Fiskars post hole digger, which works the opposite way of yours -- that is, you push the handles together instead of pulling them apart. I can't use a regular post hole digger because of my injury but the Fiskars model (The shafts cross to form like an "X") made the job do-able for me and I'd prefer it even if I could use a traditional one. The posts I secured in place by tamping the dirt down with a board and hammer after every six inches or so. The posts are completely solid and plumb today, three years later. I don't believe it's necessary to put concrete in the post holes for a project like this, but that's just my personal belief based on my experience. Anyhow, thanks for the video and I'd encourage anyone who has wanted to try a project like this to go ahead and give it a shot. It doesn't need to be perfect and as long as it's reasonably square and your posts are secure in the ground, you should be fine. Thanks again to Dave for this and all of his videos.

Hi Dave, it's always a pleasure to watch and listen to you both. Always. Thanks for another good video. God bless.

Very cool wood shed! Thanks for sharing this with us Dave!!

I normally watch videos like this at 1.5x or faster just for something on a second screen while I work but I just finished it and realized I had it at 1x and was locked in the entire time. Great build!

OUTSTANDING !!!

love the mindset of using what you have to do what you want. I am recently retired and have changed my thinking as now my most abundant resource is time. I enjoy my projects so much more now and watching you work by choice with hand tools shows me what can be done when we are willing to put in the time. Thanks for an entertaining look into your completed project.

Love it Dave. Two jobs done at once, woodshed and fire pit!

lol. Well of course you want to put a picnic table under it: it looks very comfortable. Glad the fire was conquered, those are scary things.

Nice work again! A wood shed is on my list, too, after losing ours a few years ago in a wildfire.

That California/west coast pressure treated is 'Red' ! We still have 'green boards' out here in New England ! Nice Job 'young fella' !!! 👍👍

Outstanding Dave! I appreciate the work you do. It keeps me moving towards my place in the U.P. Thanks again!

Always enjoy your vids! ❤❤

Yeah another video.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I like your low tech tips (even the ones you just show but don't talk about) and the junk yard pick up tools (or equivalent) doing 80 percent of the job. Also, heavy equipment is great but it's not always available. A pick and a shovel are always available.

I love this! We built one, too! Super for the fireplaces, wood cook stove, and wood stoves! It's great to live in the woods where wood is at hand! Good for you!

I’m sure you don’t realize ur Masterful level of skill or strength - you have done it all ur life, so it’s just your normal. You lift and toss those logs w/ease. You inspire many more than you realize. Nice video. Nothing much better than a good man - building, landscaping, swinging an axe & tossing logs. 💪

One thing is for sure Dave, you always come thru with the 100% best builds. You're work is admirable. Thank you for the outstanding videos!! Love you're family❤!!

That wood shed is built better than some expensive houses here in the lower 48! Looks really good, yeah it would have made a nice pavilion, sure sorry about that board falling on you. I saw that coming but you wouldn't have heard me here in Oklahoma 😉. Hard work pays off in the satisfaction of a job well done. Stay safe and GOD bless

Good stuff Dave! I guess it's time for me to go out and finish my storage shed! Thanks for the inspiration.

Your narration makes the videos entertaining and informative. It all reminds me what I did about 20 years ago when I was in my 50’s. Thanks!

Excellent outcome! Thanks

First video from you, not sure if you have any kind of water issues but a gutter, downspout and water tank would be awesome right there for a water catchment system. I just bought 18.55 acres of bare land, no well and that is exactly what I am going to do, cover over my 2, 2100 gal tanks and water catchment system, I live in the desert! Great video and good luck to you! Oh how's the head, Sorry I did laugh.

Hi Dave, one point you missed on metal roofing. The roof I live under was installed 40+ years ago and not a single leak. It is about time I went up there and replaced the tech screws because those gaskets don't last forever but so far so good. BTW the mention of rain hitting the metal roof is so true, hail gets a bit loud if the stone get bigger but still nothing to fret about.

Hay Dave,it almost looks like you know what your doing 🤔 like you've done this before 😂,thanks for the plans now I can build one for myself!👍,was thinking you were digging for gold! Great job,looked like a lot of work with all the rocks,but you did more that one project too,very satisfying when done.💪😉.👊🤙

I love watching you work ! You show how basic tools and muscle is all you need! Thanks for an awesome build! Love your woodshed! Perfect for Alaska!

Hey Dave, I do enjoy your video's, I can't wait for You and Brooke to get back to the cabin and Property you bought with all the trees that had fallen on the roof. I believe the last video you had got the roof cleared off.👍👍👍👍

I love the way the wood shed turned out! You’re right, it “wood” (hahaha) have made a nice pavilion. I can’t wait to see what Alaskan adventures you and Brooke might have over the coming winter! Blessings ❤️

Dave you are the man 👨 Love watching you build, your so good 👍

Your tenacity leaves me in the dust. Give me a moose roast and some potatoes and carrots and a day, I'm your man. I admire your ability to see a finished project even if it takes a while. And good luck to Mickey. I know you shouldn't start a sentence with "and", but don't tell Mickey.

Dave, finally went to Alaska for the first time, I LOVED IT!!! I can't wait to go back.

Thanks for another adventure in the woods. I certainly enjoy seeing all of your projects come to life and your resourcefulness as well!

I love to watch you build! Watching your son do his first build also. He just might be a chip off the old block!

Hello Dave 🤗 The wood shed looks so nice - looks like a nice stash of wood 🪵 hope didn't have any after effects from the board hitting you 🥺 love the bench you put by fire pit 🔥 have a great day & take care 🙏🇺🇲

Dave, you cannot go wrong with the K.I.S.S. system of engineering! A great build!!!

Dave thank you, I’ve needed to build a shed just like the one you built. You gave me inspiration. Oh and thumbs up on falling that tree, perfect 👍

Great workmanship David!!!! Good to see you outside in Alaska with the perfect project. I seen Brooke working on her project and your wife is a tough girl in the woods!!!! Both of you two work like I did and it will catch up with you at 55 years old so slow down and smell the flowers as you go through the life you are making for your future.

I love this video. Dave's explanations of everything are pure gold. Always enjoyable. And to top it off, I'm planning to build a structure just like this, so the pointers are extremely helpful.

Thanks Dave! Love how peaceful your videos are! 😊

Yeah, that’s a super nice wood shed, but love having a wood shed. We ve had massive oak trees blowing down in hurricanes and wind shears here in north Louisiana. Also had to add hoop trampoline with tarp. We had so much. Thank God we have a wood splitter that is also in the wood barn to split those 28 inch wide logs, it feels like wrestling a bull into position to split. Always love your content and practical applications to necessary structures. By the way it’s 102 in the shade today. No work for us senior citizens.

So relaxing to watch your videos. Cabin, Out-House, or well driving. Love how you narrate and show the work. keep up the great work.
