I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'log cabin?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'log cabin?' is the wordplay.
'log' becomes 'wood' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cabin?' becomes 'shed' (both can mean a small building).
'wood'+'shed'='WOODSHED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for woodshed that I've seen before include "Where one may find something nasty" , "fuel store" , "Log store" , "practise in private" , "storehouse?" .)
