I have noticed that a few forum members cover their tools with a plastic sheet. How do you prevent rust?
You do excellent work, and your photos are great also.
Take care

Mike & Doyle... I cover my tools because dust eats tools up when allowed to pile up. Tools are only uncovered when in use. The exception is my table saw... I use it too much and I don't have anything big enough to cover it anyway. The covers were removed for the photos. I have no problems with rust... even in our midwest humidity. I wax the cast iron surfaces maybe once every 3 months whether it needs it or not. I have used WD 40 if I ever do get a rust spot with and rubbed them out with a kitchen scour pad but if you keep the surfaces well coated with wax, you won't ever have any problems.
