uneven frame
Hi.
I am building an 8x10 shed. I pretty much followed these directions:
http://www.buildeazy.com/shed_1.html
I'm at the point where I want to start nailing the exterior boards on, but I didn't put the blocking on very precisely so it sticks out a few mm in places. What should I use to grind it down? It would take forever with a plane. I was wondering if some sort of sander would work.
Thanks.

2mm / 1/8" is a reasonable margin of error for rough construction. Remember this is a shed not a piano. Just put the siding on.
That blocking is shelf support? If it makes you feel better, whack the blocking with a hammer, it'll nudge a bit. Failing that, split off the offending edge with a chisel or even wrecking bar + hammer.
