I'm considering buying tongue-and-groove lumber, e.g., 45x120, and building a shed. The difficulty, as I see it, is making the corners, which is something I'm not quite capable of doing myself. Instead, if one just fastens the corners with a stud on the inside at the corner and then two cover boards on the outside, shouldn't that hold up pretty well or does that sound like a bad idea?

So it looks like in the picture at the corners, from above, approximately at least, not to scale.

Well, the idea is not bad... but it might have to be done like when assembling a traditional timber cabin where the logs overlap...
