Buy them, sell them

It's all lookin' good, Thom! I really like the roof trusses. We don't get a lot of that kind of carpentry here in Australia. Everyone uses steel...
What are you going to line the interior walls with?

The insides will be fully insulated and sheetrocked. That little room there is the bathroom, and there will be storage above it.

Trusses look cool, but why did you choose OSB for your sheathing? Are you building it yourself? It would be good to use plywood for the corners, but I would use plywood for the entire shop. Yeah, it costs more, but damnit I like things built like a tank.

I also have reservations about the oriented strand board on the sides, but if all precautions are taken to prevent moisture, it should give good service. Looks like good old CDX on the roof, thank goodness.

It's getting a vapor wrap, and then T1-11 plywood siding on top of that.
Here's pix of me bring the 4x10 sheets home in my double cab:
