    Keeping a Gun Safe Dry

    Oil the **** out of them and clean them and re oil every 6 months or so. Till you get a new goldenrod. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and I have to do that because of 70-80% humidity is a dry day and salt is in the air. Also put a coat of car wax on the safe as well so it doesn't rust.

    Workbench build using H.F. 44 inch tool boxes

    I was finally able to pick up the material for the top. This was a piece of surplus 5/8" plate 144"x34" that was discounted due to the surface rust. The piece my buddy was going to give me had to be used elsewhere.

    Grinding screen/welding screen questions

    The Domino effect strikes again.

    Told a co-worker (in general conversation) I wanted a 16 gallon drum to paint up and put vintage gas pump/oil stickers on for a trash can. He just walked in with a 16 gallon drum and gave it to me. I like that idea!
