How do I protect my woodworking tools from rust in my garage. It's heart-breaking to see my stuff slowly decaying. Moving my gear indoors isn't an option [unless I divorce my missus, now.... hang on... ;-) ]

The most simple way is to coat your tools with a light covering of either oil or vaseline. There are a number of rust and corrosion protectors available from hardware stores, DIY shops (B&Q etc) and also bicycle or car component shops. One of the best products available is Boeshield T-9, made by Boeing which was developed for aircraft use. (hard to find in UK) I have my own and my fathers woodworking tools in a garage; some of them are over sixty years old; none of them are rusty. Have only ever used oil, vaseline and bicycle rust inhibitor on them.
One option is to spray WD40 on them and repeat from time to time.
