    Cold weekend coming - shop preparation

    What shop items in an unheated shop do you protect? When the expected low outside temps are in the 21°F degree range

    My wood glues.
    Rechargeable batteries

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    For me - rechargeable batteries. It is getting down to 9° on Monday and Tuesday mornings here, and 20° or below every night for the next 8 to 9 days.

      I would consider adding finishes to those lists and anything in spray cans.

      Have any graphite lube? Lubricating locks, especially the entry door lock(s) that might have water trapped in them, never hurts. Back when I lived on the east coast I'd do the car door locks too. Auto parts stores sell small tubes (like Superglue tubes) of graphite lock lube. It's probably available at most home centers too. When squirting it into locks don't stand too close - usually some blasts backwards, out of the lock... the stuff sticks/stains like laser printer toner!

        Something else popped into mind: got any sharpening water stones?
