I worked in the shop most of the day. above 80 degrees (no AC in shop). Thought I would jump in the swimming pool and cool off - HA! The pool was 94 degrees today. All I needed was a bar of soap.

Nope, we had Houston level heat and humidity today and it's supposed to stay with highs inthe mid 90's for the next few days. No AC in the shop so the temps are just too high. I tried to work for a little while this afternoon, but it was just too hot. I did manage to get a few tubes glued, but that's about it.
 
I was able to get in the shop and turn 2 pens this evening after supper. AC ran about 30 minutes before it was comfortable in the shop. Of course the lathe is standing in front of one unit so the cool air was blowing on me.
 
turned 12 pens on Sunday- 103 in Dallas, no ac in the shop. Turn up the fan, crank up a little Stevie Ray Vaughn, and have a good time in the sauna.......er, shop.
 
Heat and humidity here also, humid enough today to walk my goldfish before dinner[8D]. But I did get about 5 hours in the shop, of course that was at about 74 degrees with the AC running. That's the only way I could turn for about 9 months of the year here, with an AC.
 
I have to gloat!!! My shop was actually kind of cool today/tonight! It was around 100 degrees outside here[:0], but so that my main floor was comfortable, the shop ends up getting rather chilly- so I keep a light shirt I can throw on over whatever else I'm wearing! [:D][:D]

But maybe I shouldn't rub it in- I'll be moving in 2 weeks and I have no idea what the basement in the new place will provide as far as comfort for a shop. I may be posting a complaint before you know it, about the new place, once I actually get to see it and experience it! (If I do, feel free to remind me of my gloat here and then laugh!) [}:)][}:)]

Brag, brag, brag![:p]

Actually when it's in the upper 80's the fan does a good enough job of keeping me comfortable. But with what we had to day I just couldn't hang. I was soaking wet just from the riding the Harley back home from work! But I'll gut up tomorrow or the next day and just do it.

I think the high temp was about 60 degrees F here today. Really relaxing turning in the garage with the doors up, enjoying the sun and cool air, the aroma of PIC wafting in the breeze......

Sorry, couldn't resist.
 
I guess there are reasons why a basement shop is good! It is about 70 deg. down here! and 98 outside!

You are ALMOST describing my shop/garage. A few times I tried, the temp was like that...at 11 pm!!! [xx(][:(!]
 
Last Sat. was 103 degrees, 93%humidity, 83 dew point and me dumb enough to go to work. I am a metalurgical fusion engineer {welder} and the stuff I work on has to be preheated to 200 degrees. When the kids I work with whine about the heat, I just tell them to go join the Army. "Can't be any hotter in Iraq can it? Can't be any worse wearing body armor and carrying battle gear can it." None of them have taken me up on it. Only time I get in the shop is after 10:30 pm when I get home from work.

Today is supposed to be our worst here (Va.) it's about 9:30 AM now and were at at 80 deg. with 78% humidity already. I think they said the heat index was going to be around 105 today. to hot to bein the shop![:(]
 
Russ,
Mine has heat and air. Just ast the wrong times of the year. Right now mine is heated and in the winter it will have cold air [:D]
Brian where the heat index will be way over 110 today.

ps: wished I was back in Alaska right now!
 
Hey Ken, if you bump into my friend in Slippery Rock Dennis G. tell him I said HI ! [:)]
Go in his office and try and sell him some pens [;)] The tight wad can afford it [:D]
 
Shop is in unfinished basememt, which is all below grade. Makes it nice and comfy year around. Plus with the dehumidifier running, humidity is only 35% all summer long. Now if I could just get more TIME to be in the shop...

Cheers,
Draken
 
Still 'thawing' out from the deep freeze of winter. No problem working in my shop with low 90 degree weather. I'm good in my not too hot shop.

105 Yesterday wit ha heat index of 113, last I heard. Worked 14 hours at work, no AC there. Supposed to be near the same today. The only turning I've done for a while is to turn the corner [:p]
 
Going on over 2 weeks with no turning. Even at night my garage is way to hot. I am back to playing chess on my computer as a hobby until the heat get back under 100.
 
95 degrees tomorrow, been in the low 90s this week. I installed a window AC unit last summer - so I'm at 72 in the shop.

My problem is I need to clean the shop so badly I can hardly move. Too many projects and too little effort to clean up. [:(]

Russ,

You may be the only one with the guts to ADMIT it, in this thread.

Surprised we have not heard from Anthony, I think his daily 115 should rank him in the top 5!!!
 
I can't gloat about my tools, can't gloat about my pens yet. But I can sure gloat about one thing.....the shop is in the basement and I got central AC in the house so heat is never a problem....in fact heat is good.....I just tell my wife that it's much to hot to work outside, then I'm free to turn a couple of pens [:D]
