Living on the Central Coast, any steel not covered rusts eventually. I got to thinking that it would be prudent to sew a cover for my lathe to keep moisture at bay. I cut wood in the same shed so it would keep the sawdust off as well. Then I was wondering whether the cover would retain moisture and exacerbate the rust issue. I've used curtain backing, thick, but somewhat breathable.

The only drawback is trhat I don't get to gaze longingly at the lathe when I'm in the shed.
Good or bad idea?
