It's time to start paying attention to humidity (or lack of it), especially if you're working with thin wood that will stay inside a heated environment in the winter when it's finished.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy S4 cellphone you have a hygrometer included along with its barometer and temperature sensors. It can be accessed and calibrated with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aminor.weatherstation&hl=en The app gives you rh, dewpoint and absolute humidity along with pressures and temps. Make sure the phone has had a few minutes to acclimate to the room...ie not fresh from your pocket. The temperature in the shop should be where you keep it while working to get the most relative reading. As the shop temp goes up the RH drops if you don't add any water vapor. Stay humid my friends!
