Storing HSS cutters

@pontiac428 I use camphor crystals in ventilated plastic film canisters in all my toolbox drawers. Too bulky for the tooling cabinet, but tabs might work. Thanks!

Same here. I have several hundred lathe tools (possibly thousands, I've never done an actual count) in wooden drawers and some still in the original cardboard boxes. The oldest ones were inherited from my wife's grandfather. He started as a machinist in the early 1900's and passed away in the late 1950's. None of them have signs of rust even though they've spent years in his damp basement and an unheated garage.
