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

A $78 window air conditioner saves the tools and the man. No sweat on the
tools, moisure content of lumber is stable, and its as cheap as a
dehumidifier.

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 used a $78 window unit, and another, and another. Even with a good filter
system in a very small shop, dust is a killer on the window unit. So, for
$200 and a little digging, I got central air and heat. Life is good as
filters are 2 bucks a piece.:also with no sweat in Kentucky!
