Nope, We still get down pours but hardly any trees grows in this area. My lathe is inside just now moved to another building that is cleaner to work in and am in the process of totally tearing it down , cleaning it up and redoing all the wicking again.
I have been covering it with a cheap camouflage tarp, plastic, but am in love with it again and want something better,
All your suggestions are good, but I am choosing either the flannel fitted sheet or the wool cover.
Its deserves it,
Mine hardly ever rusts anywhere just the exposed bare metal parts where my hands ever touch get discolored to a dark color.
I like Machinery grey paint or Polished steel.
Thanks for all the input,
Ron
