I hope you can hear me clapping at your fine work.There are only a few pleasures in life better than building your own Gerstner style, quarter sawn White Oak took box. I've built several.
As far as tools rusting, NOT A PROBLEM. White oak when dried has about 2% moisture content. On top of that you are going to seal it with a oil finish.
If you are going to stool any tool in damp environment, such as a basement, I suggest that you invest in a good dehumidifier.
The tool box evolved around the tools. The MH is one tool that should be in every machinist toolbox. In the home shop a shelf nearby is an option. In a pro shop in the box is better as is deters it being borrowed if the box is locked when not in use.Pretty amazing that toolbox design has evolved around a book.
Ages ago I saw a portable saw mill at a field days that did the cutting with a chainsaw. The saw was held in a jig that rolled along rails. Dunno if that gives you an idea to fab something up.
