As I have acquired a new car my garage is no longer big enough for all
my toys. I had to move my Delta Unisaw and shaper and drill press outside
of the garage. I put them in a space next to the garage that has a
fibreglass roof and nice strong locked wooden gate at the driveway
end. But that gate is by no means airtight. And the other end into my
backyard is just a chain link gate. How do I prevent these great tools
from rusting ?
For now I just waxed the daylights out of the surface and covered them
table tops with 30wt motor oil (its what I had handy). I was thinking I
should grease them instead or cosmolene (if I can find that stuff) but it
wont help all the nuts/bolts/misc small parts on the tools. My wife
suggested wrapping them in plastic and spraying oil into the plastic...any
better ideas ? These tools are there for quite a while, probably years but
I would like to be able to use them once in a while. My cars are wood
framed after all and I still do like to build things, something that
protects them and yet is easily cleaned is the fantasy.
Any suggestions ?
