Protecting Tools in a Wooden Box

a spray of light oil will prevent most rust- light mineral oil is colorless
ND10W,20W,or 30W manually applied with a soaked rag, would suffice

avoid WD-40 for this purpose, it may turn your collets yellow/brownish

What about dunking them in way oil?

Put way oil in a clean container. Dunk each collet, allow excess to drip off, & return way oil to the gallon container?

The shop was clean this morning, became quite messy after 2 projects, & cleaned up quickly.

Having a place for everything & everything in its place makes for quick cleanup.

As a weekend warrior, I only get 4-12 hours per week maximum to work in the shop, so I sure look forward to holidays, vacations & retirement.
