Argh! Rust!

Published 2016-08-01
I recently went into the shop after a few weeks of not being able to spend as much time in there as I would like, only to discover some rust on my combination square!

So, this video talks about what I think happened, how I fixed it, and what general steps I take to try and prevent rust on my tools.

What do you guys do to prevent rust in your shop? Leave a comment!

    Just found your channel, I tend to use wax on all of my tools especially if they are going to be sitting unused for a period of time. As we both know even two weeks in a humid climate can cause problems.
