Hey Kevin.... Some vacation!

I've tried plant misters, wet rags and Danish oil... All work well
while turning...


Interesting thought on the Danish Oil. Not so prone to evaporation as
just misting/wiping w/water. Probably want to stay out of the line of
fire though as I'm sure it'll splatter a lot...
