If the rust is still super light, you may be able to go over the tools with fine steel wool to remove the oxidation and then give everything a good coat of some sort of rust inhibitor.
Maybe a rub down with an oily rag rather than wax, once clean again? Thanks for sharing Ben, all the best. PS will send a PM next time I am heading up north, in case you are free..
nice video Chap ... silica gel in bulk of shopping sites ... i make a mix up of Pure Turpitine Bees Wax And linseed oil (not boiled) warm them all up to gether (in double boiler) you get vasaline consistancy .... Steel .. Wood.. Leather .. And Ya Boot Love it ... peace
I live in Queensland up in the tropics where the humidity is intense in the summer. Stuff rusts in no time at all. I use a Lanolin spray (inox is one brand) it works well.
Every so often, you buy something and in the packaging you find a small teabag sized gel or crystal sachet, I keep these and pop one in each drawer of plastic tub. They’re not 100% effective but they do help.
Where is that room? I'm wondering what the walls are made of and how the moist air is entering. Just yesterday I was wondering if a basement wall paint could be used in a room where I'm having condensation issues. Now your video popped up and you have me thinking again. It would be interesting to have a humidity meter in place so to know the progress.
That is a big responsibility looking after such a collection. I hope the dehumidifier does something to help.

yeah good idea James I did buy some rusty inhibitor or something like that as a spray form which I’m gonna try out once I can get round to clean them

I’m always free for you Nick. Just give me a message when you come down and we can meet up. It’ll be nice to see you again.

thanks for the great info, buddy. I appreciate that.

yes I’ve heard a few people doing that might be something worth keeping. Thanks for the info, buddy.
Greetings from Australia.
Rust is my enemy, living about a kilometer from the sea and the resultant humidity.
yeah definitely but I think it could’ve been avoided with a bit of forethought my fault really

it’s actually an old shop that’s closed down now, which is a shame
Hi there,
What type of work do you do, are you using your tools or is it just for collecting?
Thanks
I’m retired, but I do enjoy collecting Tools
@@tooladdict7463 great, what type of work did you do?
Great tool collection 👍🏻
@@tooladdict7463 no way you’re retirement age!
Ben- Is it worth bringing climate control to the tool shed? 😃👍
I’ve got a dehumidifier not sure about climate control. I might look into it thanks.
Hi Ben
hi 👍
