Hi Mac

But you know what you can count on ??GG

Day before yesterday the humidity was 100% temp 28 celsius(about 82F)
today 30 Celsius and 60% humidity, nighttime temps run 60 to 70F.

My shop starts 10 degrees cooler (by the time I get going ;-)) ) than
outside and stays that for a while, if I keep the door closed but goes
up with the lathe and lights on, and I have the door open a few hours
later, my wife says it's to warm, I say it's just nice, I love the
summer weather here, but come December-January and I could stand some
of your weather at that time.

Here's a question, have you ever tried to put a rough turned piece in a
box and fill it up with dry or just barely damp sand ??? than set aside
and have look after a few days, I wonder if in your environment that
would work to slow the drying without getting a fungus or mildew going.

Have fun and take care

That works in the winter, Leo, but I'd need to refrigerate it during the
summer...
Looking forward to the shop with A/C in Baja!
