After 3.5 years of my shop being in storage due to living in a rental house with no potential shop space, I am finally back in action! We just bought a nice house in Climax NC. I am converting one of the garage bays into my wood shop but noticed a problem that hopefully some of you might have a remedy for. Being from the north, my shops were always located in basements but now, with my tools being in a garage, I am noticing that surface rust is forming on all the machined surfaces.
I figure that I am not the only guy working out of a garage so I am hoping that someone has a solution. I am reluctant to put a layer of oil on the surfaces as it will quickly turn into a oil/sawdust sludge. Any thoughts on how to protect the tools that does not present functional or dust accumulation problems.
I really appreciate any ideas. And by the way, it is really good to be woodworking again!
