Some wood, a hand saw, a hammer, sandpaper and a box of nails.

If you have a Rockler Hardware or the like in your area, visit it for ideas.

I grew up around woodworking because my grandfather was a professional furniture maker. I rediscovered it about 15 years ago by making jewelry boxes from tree branches and cut off bits of exotic woods. It can be anything from a fun, freeform hobby (making boxes), to an exercise in proper engineering (building a pole barn).

I've been slowly building an 8x12 shed as time permits. I really need to get it done by summer so I can move onto erecting a pole building from cut-down trees.
