Now for the real question - how do we prevent this table and chairs
from rusting? Not much response from the metalworkers grumble.

Simple.
Galvanize it. (or hot-dip it in zinc )

Powder coat? Red lead paint? I presume, however, that we want a "bare metal"
industrial look to this otherwise we'd not be doing this kiln-drying and
furniture polish thing?
so galvanizing it is.

Or nickel plate if it's a smooth polished look that's wanted- don't forget to
specify over copper plate though else it'll get woodworm...

Or keep it in a pure nitrogen environment if that's simpler, 'cos rust is
caused by phlogiston escaping into impure atmospheres and contamination from
bodily fluids
umm..

Remake everything in stainless steel?

Alumininuminum?

Wood?


meanwhile - beeswax? really? Where did these guys go to school?
Oh......

I'll get me coat.
