I believe all the logs were cut in France. No doubt suitable timber could have been found elsewhere, but logistics, authenticity and national pride were on the side of local sourcing. According to...

I would hang onto it in case it can be used on your new slider. It's probably not worth reboring the set if the arbor size is different. I use a standard (1" bore) dado set on my machine but it...
A New York Times article on Hank Silver, one of the expatriate carpenters on the project. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/29/world/europe/notre-dame-restoration-carpenter.html
Chris Becksvoort's Shaker Legacy is a good reference for variations in traditional Shaker cabinetwork, which includes raised and fielded panels and beaded frames. It doesn't show any "skinny Shaker"...
Yeah, I had to look it up too. Basically a picture frame surrounding a recessed man-made panel with the panel rather than the frame providing the structure. I too would opt for a cope/stick joint...
The marine epoxies I have used have a virtually unlimited shelf life. The hardener may get dark and stinky over time but it still does the job and if the resin thickens up it can be decrystallized in...
I don't understand your question. Are you talking about a square edge t&g for thin material, in which case a narrow groover and a pair of matched square cutters plus a spacer would do, or something...
For long runs of banding I set up the shaper with an auxiliary table and power feed, for short runs I use a trim router in a jig that holds the spindle parallel to the panel face. You can run a...
To be sure, handling a full 5x5 or 4x8 sheet is a challenge on a cabinet saw. Extension tables or the like can help with the initial breakdown. Assuming the fence alignment is correct and the fence...
Well, maybe I should have said "within a particular field". I worked in a custom woodworking shop with a number of people I consider expert woodworkers and we often were called on to do very...
I think an expert is someone prepared to do something they never have done before with a high likelihood of success.
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,...
