Despite what has been stated, WD-40 (Water Dispersement) is excellent for spraying on tools to prevent rusting. The added advantage being that is easier to remove than an oil based product.
Preserving tools
I think this is probably the place to ask as you´re the ones that use tools the most.
?
I think I´ve had a good idea🤔.
This metal filing cabinet has a lot of tools in I want to keep, but not in it´s present place, I want to move it into the shed where in winter it gets a bit chilly, but never found anything damp.
I have had an idea, what if I line the draws with polystyrene to keep them a bit warmer is that a good or bad idea or not?
Awaiting your expert opinions 🔧🔨🛠🔫

Ooh ah, all these suggestions are making my head spin. Maybe I should leave the cabinet in the house, it´s so ugly though.
I´ve been in the shed making a space for it and the things I am re-discovering that I just need to get rid of so that someone can make good use of them.
A tent we bought at a loo tent years ago, big enough to get 2 bikes in as well as a portable.-loo.
A pair of Milenco ramps, very heavy, they were used to lift the Motorhome to get underneath for whatever. They were hiding behind a wooden board.
I have a huge pile of stuff that just has to go to someone, not gather dust and cobwebs in my shed.

My idea is.
First I am going to have a false ceiling and dividing wall + toilet area built
Here is my plan, a real professional. drawing😁 nothing written on it, but the room at the back a bedroom, then a shower/basin/toilet. the rest as an extension to my utility room. It´s a shame to leave it as one huge room 10 meters X 5 meters not unless I open it as a party room to rent, or a pub with bring your own drinks.

The chap who is going to do the false ceiling and partitions was here with Mario (my construction manager for the job 
) Turns out my furniture planning is a bit previous because everything will have to be taken out before he starts the job, there`s quite a bit of preparation, removing a lot of 3 phase points for a start and the ceiling fluorescent lights, covering the central heating pipes, the water meters and outside taps that can be turned off independently from the inside. Mario is going to ask my neighbour across the road who is a retired plumber about doing the shower etc. so that will be bit of a saving. I`ll stop thinking about shifting stuff about now I know what’s what.
