Posted by: @tej One thing worth doing is to figure out which tools you use often and mount them to a board on the wall. Cheers @tej. I think I'll do just that. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Posted by: @rocknroller912 The part most likely to rust is the Chuck, so you can rub some candle wax on the outside and into any screw heads. Thanks again @rocknroller912. Another great tip. dz...

Yup, Crystalac is the way forward. Long cure time though… You lucky devils in the UK even have a distributor.

Congratulations @russ! Sounds like you’re getting a handle on the storage, now get to building! Looking forward to seeing it come together…

So the edit button works?!? Awesome, now where’s that @tv101?

@robin I have maple or mahogany, could use the mahogany which would match the neck, I’ll mock one up and see how it goes.

Great job @tej! For the truss rod cover my suggestion is to match the headstock so it blends in and doesn’t obscure that nice looking wood!

@tej I like to make the truss rod cover from wood to match the headstock. If you're going to have a scaled down headstock shape, maybe it would look good in a contrasting wood.

@russ I think that plastic cases will be fine with silica gel if you’ve got it. I’ve been storing mine like that for years and don’t have any problems. The part most likely to rust is the Chuck, so yo...

@boo I don’t feel so bad now I know that even professional painters get crazy paving sometimes. It happened to me during the summer when I was giving my lathe a re spray. Had to rub it all down and st...

Very interesting. I'm not a painter but want to eventually do this sort of thing. I didn't even know this could happen. It is unfortunate but very helpful for someone like me to see and to see the pr...

Cheers @rocknroller912. I meant to say that the power tools are in their original plastic cases.... not the cardboard box. Do you think they would be fine sitting on a shelf in their plastic case or s...

@russ Silica gel is good in an enclosed space. I don’t keep original boxes as they are only bits of cardboard and I don’t see the point of being precious about stuff like that as it’s never going to b...

Hello again Peeps, Does anyone have any thoughts or advice about storing my power tools and hand tools in my shed over the winter months. All the power tools still have there original cases. There's ...
