Not so much rain in Utah.
As long as you keep the bunk spaces less than half full and tall enough for rolling as well as sliding the boards it can work well.
My former outfit uses shipping containers for storage of materials and tools. They do have roof vents. I am dubious about maintaining consistent moisture content and would recommend monitoring.

Here's an introduction to roof insulation and ventilation https://buildingscience.com/documents/reports/rr-0404-roof-design/view. Make sure you understand how your attic space is constructed...
For tool drawers I use 100# rated slides. KV 8400 or Accuride 3832 series are dependable side mount designs. You can save some money and take your chances on cheaper clones.
Ball end hex keys do...
I mainly get by with a 30" renovator's bar like this one https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/pry-bars/32015-gransfors-renovators-bars, a 1" x 6' big bar with a chisel tip and some...
Take the offer to load it and truck it to a bandmill. Be aware yard trees are prone to hardware embedment and you may have to buy the sawyer some new blades.
It's certainly doable. How straight and clean the splitting will proceed absolutely depends on the log's character. If it is straight grained and knot free your chances are better than if it is...
I thought you were substituting feet for inches until I looked at your location. I guess there can be such a thing as too much snow. I never heard of atmospheric rivers before last year, did you?
Epoxy mixing ratios can differ when measuring by weight and volume because resin and hardener may have different densities. Check the System Three specs to be sure. The guidelines quoted by Mike...
6" of powder since yesterday down here at 700' elevation, about 24" at Mad River Glen with blizzard conditions at mid-day. Ski it when you can.
We're having a mud season snowstorm here with about 3"of slop on top of unfrozen ground. Too heavy to shovel for long, too dense for my snowblower and the tractor tends to make a godawful mess even...
You can hog out the mortises with an undersize drill bit and finish up with the mortiser.
One of the old guys used to say, "You won't melt- you're not made of sugar."
Congratulations on getting the project going. Once you get out of the ground and start framing things will go fast,...
Ow! Those are painful just to watch.
For anyone interested, there is a Youtube video on this project by a participant. Josh Jackson, a Vermont builder who worked on the nave trusses at the Desmonts shop, gave a lengthy slide...
Do you really want to blow microplastics into the environment?
Thanks for the link, Richard. There's bound to be some good stuff there.
I agree with Joe's suggestion as to the ladder frame. I have made several exterior doors that way exposed to the weather out of Spanish Cedar that have held up well. If you do build your stiles as...
You don't really need a new setup for carving if you can already sharpen turning and bench tools. A set of flat stones and a strop with honing compound, plus a slipstone and some unbacked leather for...
Solidly locking down a big table like that with a short lever on one bolt is asking a lot. The guide pin is only a few inches away from the locking bolt so its loose fit in the slot and the limited...
You call that a trunnion?
You might consider replacing the "pin" with a bolt and bushing. A tightly machined bushing might take out enough of the play, or you could tighten both bolts to lock the...
Yes, bending across the grain should not be a problem.
I have used veneer softener to smooth out wrinkled veneer but have always dried it out before use. The dried conditioned veneer is more flexible than before conditioning (partly, I think, because...
As my feet continue to go to hell I suspect more of my woodworking may be tethered to a chair in the future. What carving and shaping I have done has been at benchtop height or above. I have had a...
