Hand tools in the corner … sounds like we have a lot in common. I do not have an orbital sander … I don't even have electricity … completely unplugged! Welcome aboard.

Very stealth storage- an alternative to, say, Thos Moser's tool chest.

I've never heard of Thos Moser before. Just looked him up…inspiring work for sure.

Thanks, Ben. Nice bench. Have you thought of a French cleat system for tools above the bench? I did this and things improved immensely.

I never considered a french cleat system specifically, but I did try just having my tools out on a little table next to my bench. The problem was rust. My shop is not climate controlled and I still have to park 1 car in there (2 in the winter). I tried 3in1 oil, WD-40, ballistol, but anytime I was not in the shop for a week or more, rust spots would develop. However, placing the tools in the plastic tote after using pretty much any oil does a much better job of preventing rust.

I've heard that from a lot of folks. I guess I'm luck… all of my tools are exposed, so far no rust. I guess Lilburn is the place to be. LOL!

Maybe give Remoil a try. It's more for firearms, but I've had good luck with it.

Updated the pictures with one of the shop that isn't blurry. I'm working on a dutch tool chest so hopefully I'll have some finished pictures of that up to replace the plastic tote.
