Steel tools in an oak chest
snip Any thoughts?
My old man kept his machinest tools in an oak tool chest, probably for around 30+ years, with no problem. These were precision tools. The drawers were ined with felt. I don't know if the felt was impregnated with anything or not. I'd say ask on a metalworking newsgroup. JOAT 10 Out Of 10 Terrorists Prefer Hillary For President - Bumper Sticker I do not have a problem with a woman president - except for Hillary. No need to go to rec.crafts.metalworking...I've been using a Gerstner box for 20+ years and my father used one for 40 years before that...the felt that they put in the drawers is just felt with some glue on the back. Same thing with Kennedy chests. Machinist chests, anyway...mechanics chests are lined with rubber drawer liner stuff...kinda like router pads. And if you have to ask what the difference is between a machinist chest and a mechanics chest, you wouldn't understand. : Mike |
