I also need help on this same topic. I don't mean to parachute in on
your post, but I just had one of those cooler periods here in St.
Louis, followed by a warm humid period and my machines and tools are
getting wet and rusting! My shop is smaller 400 sq ft. and is a
converted detached garge. I'd like to ask anyone posting on this topic
to include smaller shop solutions as well. I am considering a window
heat/cool combo unit. Thanks
-Mike



Hey Mike,

Won't "fix" everything, but a couple of those 10 to 20 dollar Wal-Mart
ceiling fans (no lights) left running blowing "down" constantly will
help decrease the rust formation. Won't do anything to remove rust
once it's started, but sure helps to slow it down from starting.

Helps to keep the heat off the "peak" and circulating too James, but
run them "up".


Ah! genious... I was worried about fans effecting my welding, but
placing them on 'reverse' would run the heat down my perfectly CURVED
walls and do my awaiting chilly feet.

And people think Canadians are dumb...... HA!

James, Seattle
