Lots of thick slide way oil number 68 and less cleaning to keep as much as possible this oil in place.

Monday I'm starting new job and now I can see it might be possible to move near future :hDe: Shed with floor and some sort of heating would be really nice.
 
Blimy it was 40F In my shop and I thought that was cold, iv never seen frost like that on equipment and amazed the electric's still work with all that moisture .

I thought it was cold here in Wisconsin, but boy-o-boy you are really cold. I have one big advantage thuogh , I have in my big shop a heated floor, so it stays at about 50 degrees and in my small shop I have a 46 cubic foot powder coating oven, that keeps it nice and toasty.

I like anything with enough power to do something stupid with.
 
I don't heat my shop except days when I am working in there, but I keep a dessicant type dehumidifier running all winter. The shop gets close to freezing at times, but with the humidity kept below 45% I don't have to protect anything. It costs less to run than background heat in a large, moderately insulated shop.
 
Here in Adelaide we had 7 days over 40 degrees celcius in December. Too hot to work in comfort without aircon.
