I recently bought an excellent second hand crusher which came with some other kit including an old Italian 40L ratchet press which has cetainly seen better days. The spacer blocks were quite rotten and I have replaced them. The wooden pressing plate is also in a very bad state and I'm arranging for a mate to construct a new one for me. The wooden slats of the basket look fine - apart from a few very suspicious small holes!
My question is, what's the safest way to avoid this sort of damage and to limit further deterioration. This type of equipment has to live in my shed where it's bound to get a bit damp during our British winter. I assume that any sort of preservative is out of the question.
