A big thanks to Willis Carrier
osage outlaw:
I would like to give a big thanks to Willis Carrier, the inventor of air conditioning ;D I put a small window AC unit in my workshop and it made such a huge improvement it made me feel pretty dumb for not doing that years ago. Normally I work in the garage during the summer with 2 fans going. Recently I had some artwork installed on my arm and the current heat wave irritated it to the point I couldn't stand to be outside for more than a few minutes. Yesterday I put the AC in the window and cleaned up my workshop to give me room to work. As an added bonus while cleaning I found 2 calf hides that I forgot I had. Today I ripped sapwood all day and didn't even break a sweat. It was nice to quit for the day and not feel like I just stepped out of a pool.

...and it will keep the humidity lower in your shop, Clint. :OK

As much as I like being outdoors, the a/c is a great invention! Raise a glass to old Willis!

For the first 5 years of my bow making journey I made bows in a 5X7 offset in the garage by the water heater and out under a maple tree in the front yard. I probably made 50 bows in that hot, dusty corner.
When I moved to the country and could build a propper shop, the A/C and heater was designed into the shop plans. My A/C unit has heat strips built in as well so it is dual purpose. What a luxury!

Im fortunate to have a nice sized basement shop with 9' ceilings. Always in the 65-68 degree range, but the RH changes are drastic. I have no power tools in there. But, its always comfy to work in. I love that part.
