i need a barn. I may not be able to do this build party, but will definitely keep an eye on it for inspiration.
I like to represent the "close enough" folks. A hopefully encouraging example of lack of percision.

No measuring per se; 98% eyeballed. a vintage 5" wood body/brass flats square (only marked to 1/8") ,an exacto saw, my thumbnail for a miter, 120 sandpaper, Emler's white, 6 pinch clamps and two rubber bands so far.
I'm finding the number of gondolas worth of wood it will take to build one to be intersting; so I do plan on measuring my popsicle sticks closer out of a curiosity for what a real world materials pile size might be. The width is about 15"X16')18' per pop-sicle "board", the thickness I'm not sure of .

Congratulations.
I don't have room either. I just got bored and began cutting wood.
Then I saw this thread again and figured why not?
