No quick way to make a hole threw that thick of a log, even with power tools. It's not quite there but it's close and it stands surprisingly solid.

A recent indoor herb initiative yielded better germination than expected. Unfortunately, a few good sprouts have to be thinned.

Go with the flow that only you know, and consider the rest as sketchy at best. Far be it from me to try and turn moss into a tree - for moss has a beauty same as carpet has a duty. Call me Apple, I require a minimum number of chill hours to be fruitful and crush.

I need a way to make a guide for our band saw. I clamped a couple 2x4 down to maintain the level.

long story short - these 2x4 let me use a speed square to set a guide with clamp or screw for bigger projects..

A table saw can do a ton, a band saw can do a lot but both of them can do just about anything.

With the subzero temps back in town we find a job or two inside or at least mostly. The solarium has come long way and it's a reasonable 50°.

I like the way this project is turning out. Compared to some of our other bunks, I think we used a fraction of the materials and have some significant design improvements. net+

If you need more inside projects, putting some storage up for the top bunks would be nice.  A place to keep some clothes, phone, towel, etc was a need I had up there last summer.

There's a couple things going on here and they don't both get first chair.  The bunks are designed for  "Narrow Twin" mattresses - spacial constraints are at the core of it all.  The other bunks are designed to have the lower bed basically on the floor and my bed isn't a rag and I'm not vacuum so I raised it and we added a storage rack for duffel bags and backpacks to keep most of your stuff, close enough.  

The shelf idea is a good one tho, it'll be a little trickier on the top bunk but I think the dimensions of the stuff your suggesting is solid feedback.  I'll add it in the build and see what I can do.
