Good morning!
I live in sunny South Florida (east coast) and have very little room for my 'workshop'. Thing is, it is outside on my screened in patio. I do not have a garage either :frown:
I keep my drill press and bandsaw on a work table covered with a cotton sheet and my lathe is on a separate table covered with a BBQ grill cover when I am not home or not using it.
Will the Florida weather potentially hurt the lathe? It is way too heavy to move every day inside the house. It takes 2 people to move it.
Any other ideas for me if the humidity or weather can hurt it by keeping it outside every day?
I was more concerned about it being stolen than anything else but I have video surveillance around my condo and I live in a gated community. However, it still doesn't mean it cannot be taken.
