I moved into a new place this year and it has an old, smallish barn. It's basically an oversized 2 car garage. I have placed all of my woodworking tools into it. It is uninsulated and the doors are just wood planks. It's winter time and the humidity is above 95% is its raining off and on. The roof and walls are good. No leaks. I went in this morning and everything is wet. The concrete floor has beads of water all over it and every metal surface does also. Even stuff that was under other stuff is wet. Clearly, I have a condensation problem. What are my options?

insulate.

How well the insulation keep the moisture out of the air?

It will keep your shed warmer and prevent moisture from condensing. When incoming outside air is warmer than in the shed.
Also a lot of the moisture probably comes up from the concrete as well, so a moisture blocking floor on top would likely help.

>moisture blocking floor
Is that something I can paint or seal on? Some of the space will have vehicles driven on it and such and I wouldn't want it to get chewed up

Yes paint is what youre looking for.

this happens to my barn in the spring after the thaw, my solution is to open the doors and let the wind dry it out. Doesnt seem like this would work for you, so you need to get the moisture out of the air. use a dehumifier or a heater, also keep your tools oiled

i sealed my floor, and other than making it slippery as fuck when its wet, it didnt change anything

Get some Boeshield or CRC marine protectant and hit every machined surface you don't want ruined. It will clean off easily when you establish your workshop.
