After purchasing a large quantity of tooling with my Greaves Cincinnati horizontal milling machine, I realized I'm going to need a good bit of shelving and storage. A recent barn flooring project has left me with quite a lot of 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" thick excess northern red oak lumber. There are slitting saws, slab mills, collet sets, twist drills, etc. that need to be stored properly.
Is there anything I need to know about storing tooling long term on a wooden shelf, i.e. corrosion concerns due to the wood attracting atmospheric moisture? I would love to use up some of this leftover oak since it will make a perfectly sized cabinet for my needs, but I don't want to create a problem.
