Headband, and a fan to move air. Build on.

Make it hotter!
My pop used to have a van with no A/C, so he'd roll all the windows up and let it really get super hot in there. Then, he'd roll the window down and it would feel soooooooooo good!!!!
Maybe that'll work in your shop? :D:D:D |
Just picked up a portable swamp cooler for the AZ summers. So far it makes working in the garage soo much easier!

Early Morning Workout
OK this only counts for us retired old folks but when I put the big push on to finish my -6 I started work at around 4am most mornings. Of course, around here, by 10am it was hot enough to go home and nap..... :)

AC units available for a couple hundred bucks. If no window, mount it in an old door. |
save up money during summer and set an aggressive travel schedule for work, build aggressively during fall/winter
that's my current plan |
I've seen people cut holes in outside walls and install A/C units.
Personally, I added insulation to my garage and ran a trunk line from my HVAC to the garage with a vent I could open and close as necessary. It made a real difference, both in hot and cold weather. |
Move to Oregon? :D

A/C
I found a 5ton Trane used package unit ac that was at a store that closed. (Package unit is a self contained system that has the compressor(s), condenser, evaporator, fans etc. inside the unit) All you do is duct the supply air into the shop and Return air from the shop to the unit. Hook up the electrical and you are in buisness.
Cost $500 plus going to pick it up. Well worth it in my opinon. Raised my electric bill some in the summer but I sure got more work done. BTW this is in a 50x60 shop so a garage should take something less. |
A cheap way to deal with it is to wet a small towel and put it over your head and under your hat, it works well when working on your roof.:D
