Good Morning Kent:
Best bet against the rust issue is to keep the machines well oiled - I use Mobil 1 on all exposed parts, and to cover your machines when not in use. If you intend on working during the colder months, either an electric heater or a kerosene heater - which is what I use to heat my 12 X 30' garage is the way to go. I keep my machines covered with ordinary bath towels after giving them a generous application of the Mobil 1. I have not seen any sign of rust or oxidation in the 2 years of ownership.
Best regards,
Nick

I need some assistance here folks. I live in the North East, Cape
Cod Mass to be exact. My work area is a 10x14 shed that has
electricity. My plan was to set up my shop there with a mill, lathe
and a few other tools to build my steam engines.
This past week in conversation, condensation came up, someone told
me I might have problems when it gets cold keeping my machines from
rusting. Anyone have any experiance keeping equipment in an
unheated area during the cold months? And here I was, thoinking I
have a good thing going. Thoughts, suggestions, pointers, all most
appreciated.
Thanks for any & all feedback.
