I originally sent this yesterday and have no idea where in the hell it wound up. Really enjoying this list! -CH NOW WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT YESTERDAY Hello fellow galoots. After more than a year of off and on lurking and watching I am finally on the porch! Why the hesitation you may ask? Well I wanted to see if this was genuine tomfoolery or not. Anywho about me I am a Masters student in Public Administartion at Southwest Missouri State University. I live on a farm in a house built in 1869 of rock and oak timber construction. I live with SWMBO, 2 dogs and 1 cat. (We had 2 cats but one got shot in a hunting accident ha ha) I come from a furniture background as 2 of my g g uncles were professional cabinet makers and later owned a piano factory. Saddly there tool chests went up in flames when our barn was burned by some boys my grandpa sent to the pen. Anyway I have always been interested in woodworking but never really had any grounding or guidance until I discovered a dust covered volume of Michael Dunbar's handtool book from the late 70's. To my desire this gave some grounding and guidance. Absorbing this and turning to the internet I was soon able to acquire a lot of knowledge and tools. I hope to finish my toolbox, (SWMBO is really after me to get the huge pile o'planes out of the living room floor), then build a shaving horse and eventually either a log or timberframe workshop, (as demonstrated by Roy Underhill in book #1). Now that the introduction is over I have a question. In Missouri the humidity is awful as is the seasonal change drastic. As my grandma said, "if you don't like the weather in Missouri just wait a day." How can I protect my tools from rust without altering their appearance or devaluing them? |
