Looks good. If you move your M&M stash to the shop, you may never leave. Is that a 12” jointer I see, or a narrow workbench? Just kidding, I set tools on mine all the time.

Oh…I’m drooling. It’s been 35 degrees with 80% humidity here. I’d love one of those units!

Mark – hafta agree

Last year my father had replaced an old small AC unit with a larger one, so I have been using it this summer. We have had a couple of stretches with temps in the mid to upper 90’s and one over hundred. Compiled with humidity in the 80-90% makes working with sawdust nasty. The corn leaves are curled straight up; look like praying hands. Praying for rain! Also keeps the moisture down; couple of years ago before we had the shop we used an unheated non-insulated garage. I had purchased a new saw with cast iron top, about a month later the humidity was miserable. Worse was when I saw all the surface rust on my new saw.

mot, I assume you mean 35° C, right? I don’t know about you, but when it’s 35° F outside, I don’t want an air conditioner.

And how’s your greenhouse footprint today? LOL

Good for you, Mark! A free air conditioner is a gift from God.

I live in the South, but if it wasn’t for A/C, I don’t think I could. The only place I don’t have it is my shop – but maybe somebody will give me one someday ;^D (or I’ll just buy one).

Great Mark: When I sold my house in NJ. The purchasers put in Central Air. I was up getting a load of wood from the barn and I noticed the new airconditioners. I asked them if they wanted to get rid of the old window unit.

They siad its yours. So I took it out and installed it. 22,000 BTU of comfort. It doesn’t drop the temp in the shop. But it keeps it at the temp when i turn it on.

It’s usually about 74 when I go to the shop and it stays that way all day and it driops the humidity.

WE MUST BE GETTING YOUR HEAT UP THIS WAY THIS SUMMER.

I DON’T REMEMBER IT BEING THIS WARM FOR SUCH A LONG STRETCH.

Mark’s next project is an ornate mantel to surround the a/c unit. Carved corbels. ;>)

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

This summer has been miserable – hot and humid… Obi – No picking on the rest of us not in CA – It ain’t 72 and sunny everywhere else ya know ;)

we have three units around the house, though I’m with Don, I prefer to use them as little as absolutely neccessary.

Obi, Bill and Wayne – I was recently out to CA, drove an RV from Sacramento to the LA fair complex for an RV Show. First time I have seen a different part of CA other than the LA area. Vast differences on the drive, it was very interesting to see.
