Catherine:
For equipment such as swage blocks, cone mandrels, post vises, and such ...
I applied a light coat of boiled linseed oil.  It provides relatively
long-term rust inhibition, which can be renewed as needed.  Val Oil would be
an option, which is somewhat thicker than linseed oil and more durable
(Francis used it as a coating for exterior ironwork).
