Hi all
Just a little advice, please.
My new workshop is 12' x 10' timber shed fully insulated, door, ceiling and floor.
I have the usual lathe, mill, band-saw, grinders and pedestal drill.
I have a 180W dehumidifier which I run from about 7pm until 7 am.
It collects about 1/2L max of water per twelve hours sometimes very little.
The lathe and mill are kept covered when I am not in there and as I do not want to see rust on either would like to know if I am doing the correct thing.
The end of the shop, where the lathe is about 1/2M from wall is close to a garden fence and has sun on the roof for a couple of hours most mornings.
There are two small double glazed windows over the bench (1M from and at right angles to lathe.
The opposite side is within 200mm from the house wall.
When the weather really cools down I intend to put a small oil-filled radiator in which will, I hope, just keep the temperature at a working level.
Because I am a carer and elderly I usually only use the shop for 1-2 hrs each afternoon.
Am I doing what I should to keep rust at bay?
Many thanks for any advice.
Richard.
