Default Rusting hand tools

Harold & Susan Vordos scribed in

Camphor may prevent rust, but the smell is very offensive to me.
I'd have to give extended thought and make the decision, live
with the smell, or the rust. g


Harold, if you have it there all the time, you stop smelling it.
The smell receptors 'get used to it' and stop signalling until there
is a major change, like if you go outside and come back into the w/s.

OTH, I kinda like the smell of camphor (-:

however, my workshop smells of chicken fat since that is what I use
for cutting. don't go in hungry as I will not allow you to eat my
chipboard! (-:

swarf, steam and wind
