Storing hand planes

[Brian Runau]

I have my shop in my basement and I have a dehumidifier set on 50%. I have some rust on a couple and have re4moved the rust, but have the rust stain on the metal. No need to remove this? How do you store your planes, do you put a light oil on them, store them in a lightly oily rag...?

Thanks.

My shop, during the summer, stays around 60% and 78 degrees and most planes are stored on a plywood shelf with no finish. In use I use a Oil Rag In A Can so the planes get a regular oiling. I keep a few fans a air filters running anytime I'm in the shop. The only time I've had rust problems was when i kept my "special" planes in a drawer

Mine are in a Drawer in the original box. Should I wet a light rag with oil and wrap them? Thanks brian
