I recently built a shed for various tools and storage needs. Was originally going to do 12X12 but a buddy talked me into 12X24 which I'm really glad he did. The built in shelves and workbench are nice to have. Wish I would have done a concrete floor in it, but my plan is to eventually build an actual shop. When they pour the concrete for the shop, I'm going to remove the wood out of the shed and have them concrete the floor in there as well.
I did all the work on this one and I think I'm in maybe $4,000 at the very most. I still need to do a few finishing touches but as life goes, you start on another project and the last one just sits. I'll probably get back after it when it hits 100 degrees, because I've found that's when I work the fastest. Here are some pictures of various phases of the process. The roof pitch was the most difficult part of the process.
My goal was mostly to free up my garage for a workspace until I build the shop.

If you are planning to do any useful project work in your shop, run some split-wired recepticals. I did this when I rewired my last shop, gives you two 15 or 20 amp circuits at each individual receptical which means you can run a saw and a shop-vac for a dust collector on the same receptical without tripping a breaker. You have to run a double pole breaker for each receptical though, not a duplex breaker, if you want to run a shared neutral. This means you can run one 12/3 instead of two 12/2's.

Build as big as space and money allows.

As with the size of the building, at some point you’re going to decide to get a good air compressor.
Then you’re going to go shopping and you’ll find one and say “that one should be big enough for what I want it for.”
Then you should buy one twice the size of the one you’re looking at.

I’ve been contemplating doing a tuff shed premier garage, it’ll be a couple years from now though. Either going to go 14x24 or 16x24. I’m leaning 16x24 though since I have a 12x24 back patio that seems a little narrow even if I add an imaginary 2 ft
