We tackle the inevitable surface rust that rears its ugly head in humid environments. My small garage shop is not air conditioned so my tools are at the mercy of mother nature...but do they have to be? I go over a couple of different methods of removing this rust, plus 2 different products to protect those tools. My table saw and drill press table were showing signs of light surface rust so I needed to address it. I hope some of the information reviewed is useful to you guys in your shop endeavors.
In upcoming shop update videos I will give updates on the performance of these products as well as any learnings I've made along the way.
The second half of the video is a deep dive (i.e. nerd view) of humidity in a small shop. I want to see if a standard portable dehumidifier could actually lower the humidity in my shop...and guess what? IT DOES. I wanted to create a video that someone else could follow along and do the same analysis I did for my shop. I was able to lower the humidity in my garage shop from 60% to 30% in 6 hours on a 90F+ day. TIme will tell if the little fella can keep up on days with 70-80%+ humidity but it looks promising. In that 6 hour timeframe the dehumidifier was able to remove 6.5 Pints of water from the air, which is about 37% of its rated capacity (in theory)! It just might be the best $200 I've ever spent.
