I am making a few cabinets for my tools. I have tools lying around everywhere in various protective states.
My garage (read w/shop) is pretty cold and I worry about moisture build-up and therefore rust. I do keep my tools clean and so on, but...
:-k :idea: :shock: So I was thinking ............. consider the cabinet drawers to be 450mm long and the cabinet to be 500mm. What if I mounted a very low wattage bulb (?15w) at the back of the cabinet resting on the base. The interior would be warmed up sufficiently to stave of the rust. I am prepared to drill circulation holes to the adjacent cabinets. i.e hopefully 1 bulb will do.
Considering the cabinets are plywood and it seems asbestos is a no no, #-o how can I go about this? For I want to avoid fires of course and use insulation of some type but what?
Any ideas?
Seems crazy I know but ....
PS: I cannot heat up the complete workshop 24x7 as the heat loss is ridiculous and I cannot insulate the garage either - not an option here.
