Get one of those big curtains to block off the part of the shop you do
work in and you can go with a much smaller unit just to cool that part.

A smaller AC unit wouldn't do the job entirely but it'd knock down the humidity
and reduce the temp some, combined with your fan it'd probably be enough. Maybe
get a couple window units and just put 'em in the wall. We've got a window unit
mounted in a wall here. When that croaks I'm going to do a mini split with the
indoor unit in the same spot. Our 900sqft house doesn't require much...

Subject: [MBZ] Shop cooling
So earlier I was thinking about a swamp cooler for the shop which
would not be very effective. I bought a high velocity fan the
other day which helps a bunch. Today I got to thinking about how
my shop is fully insulated. Its 40x60 why could I not install a
central AC unit out there? I could probably mount the inside unit
up in the rafters somehow, or worse case just have it in a corner
somewhere. What size unit do you think I would need for said size
of shop? New 2 ton units can be had for around 2k or so. I see
several used ones on CL too. I would probably try to find a
decent used one if I went this route. IF buying a used one what
does one need to look for as far as ratings etc?
