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

I used a $78 window unit, and another, and another. Even with a good

Well, I'm in a small (11x13) shop with no dust collection other than a
homemade box with fan and filters to get the really fine stuff out of
the air. Half the time I forget to run it.
I've got a window AC (maybe $98) that I've been using for about 4 years
now. It still runs fine. I cut down a furnace filter and taped it
across the intake on the outside. Every time I vacuum the floor, I run
the vacuum over the filter. So far so good.
Note that I am a hobbyist and my four years of use probably doesn't
equal one year of full time use. But still, for that price ...
