Default A woodwork newbie. Issues setting up workshop in non-airconditioned South Florida garage?

Has anyone experienced problems storing power tools, or other workshop
paraphernalia (varnishes etc) long term in a workshop that has no a/c
and is in a tropical humid climate?

I keep portable power tools inside, partly for security but table saws
etc are going to be too big.

Cheers


I live in Mississippi (high heat, high humidity) No air in shop. No
real problems. Have to clean and wax those cast iron tables every so
often, but not a problem. Most of the rust on the tools come from me
dripping sweat on them.

I visited a couple of shops that were in the Bahamas. Comments by the
owners "if you use the stuff it doesn't have time to rust".
