Rust removal question

[John Suter]

Hi Bob,

Others have answered the question of getting the
initial rust off; but I'll bet your father-in-law
soaked them in turpentine (just as my dad and gramps
did)... now to keep rust from re-appearing while in
your toolbox.

Place among the tools in the toolbox, a couple of
sticks of the old-fashioned black-board chalk you may
remember your grade school teacher using.

John & Amy Suter
(With appropriate credit to my wife, who tells folks I
married her because she was the only gal that had her
own tools and toolbox; still does, and none have
rust.) LOL
