Hi Grumps

It is certainly cold up here in the highlands it was -1 C yesterday and during the winter it is not uncommon for the temp to drop below - 20 C so I have a box with all my polishes and anything that would denature and keep this in the house until needed. If going out to the shed I have a fan heater going for about 30 minutes before working but all though I do not notice the shed is damp and certainly there is no water getting in it must be a little damp as I noticed a couple of days ago that there was slight film of rust on my bandsaw and on the old lathe I had before cleaned the bandsaw with wd and sealed it with paste wax probably the wrong thing to do in my inexperience so when I bought my new Lathe yesterday I mentioned this to the salesman and he said I should get some ptfe spray. Sorry a bit off subject but as someone new to all this stuff I have more questions than answers oh and the ca is about a week old.

cheers Bob
