Wet tools
Dick Hines
I made a big mistake this afternoon. I got into the shop after lunch to do a little work.
It was 58 in the shop and 70 outside. I opened the shop rollup door to warm up the shop. In no more than a couple of minutes every thing that was iron or steel was WET! It took me the rest of the afternoon to get the rust off of the lathe.

I'm sorry to hear someone else made the same mistake. I've been there and done that! They say that you learn more from your mistakes than successes. I think I certainly did and hope you will too.

Dick: You have to read ALL the safety warnings! "Do not use this lathe while in the shower!" "Chisels are sharp. You must wear shoes!"

Bill, I guess I missed the first warning 
Been there, done that.
